Speaker 1: We're gonna break down all of the matchups, and it's

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot of them, break them down fantasy style as

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: we do. Take a chance on me still in play,

14
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: will do that as well. Five hot questions nor formerly

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: five tough questions, but they were so tough they've become hot,

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: just a friction of difficulty. We are three spicy guys

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: answering spicy guys, Yes, so play to get to Over

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: the course of the show, we're gonna try to get

19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: you ready to get you into the playoffs. In my leagues,

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: it feels like about a quarter of the teams are

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: knocked out and everybody else is playing for something. You know,

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: about half of the team's maybe well let's just break

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: into third to make it easy. But a third or

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: mostly out, a third are battling to get in, and

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: a third are jockeying for playoff positioning. I mean, this

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: week's got something for everybody, I believe. Yeah, it's been

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: crazy year. I mean, if you have Carson Wentz, you're

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: probably okay. That seems to be the common denominator across

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: all my leagues, and those are the guys that are

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: doing well. Tom Brady has helped a lot in one

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: of my leagues. Through Week nine, every team in my

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: ten team league was five and four or four and five. Wow,

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: it was it was a statistic. Now had they all

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: finished up at five and five, then every everybody right

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: now is either seven five, six and six or five

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: and seven. It's pretty amazing. That is amazing. Uh. Antonio

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Brown probably another guy that a lot of winners have got,

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: and like now it's like five ish tight ends out there. Yeah,

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: there's that's yeah that the tight end differential has never

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: been bigger than this year. If you've got a good one,

41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: what a luxury for everybody else that's scramble into you know,

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: drop Cameron Braid in the right week and try to

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: pick what a disaster tight end has been those that

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: invested in the tight end position at the draft or

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: in real position of of advantage. I guess Brown's take

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: on the Chargers, Matt um, I have reason to believe

47
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: that there's a change to the Brown's offense this week. Well,

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: what would that be? Maybe a wide receiver, Maybe a receiver.

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm coming dead, yes, um, yeah, that's Josh Gordon. He

50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and the entire Brown's passing game are on the bench.

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Had a boy, Yeah, Josh Gordon hasn't played since December

52
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: of two thousand fourteen. That's the same month where Marcus

53
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: Mariotta won the Heisman Trophy and Bill Cosby was still

54
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: on the board of trustees at Temple University. Thanks for

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: helping us out with Where was Bill Cosby there? Exactly?

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: No quarterback has both topped two fifty yards and thrown

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: for multiple touchdowns against the Chargers this season. They haven't

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: allowed multiple passing scores in a game since some backup

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: quarterback named Eli Manning did that in Week five. So

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: the whole passing games on the bench, there is some

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: some light at the end of the tunnel for the

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: running game, though. I got starting grades on both Isaiah

63
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Kroll and Duke Johnson. Duke's getting to be Kroll's getting

64
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: a seed charge. You're gonna hear a lot more about

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson in a couple of segments. Okay, Yeah, Chargers

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: have allowed the NFL second most catches UH sixty nine

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: and the fifth most receiving yards to running back, So

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Duke's a good play. Uh McCoy uh la. Shawn McCoy

69
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: had a hunt in fourteen yards in a touchdown two

70
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago in Carson against these Chargers, Morris and Smith

71
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: combined for ninety seven total yards in a score on

72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in a game where running back shouldn't have been

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: involved at all. That means Kroll's kind of in play

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: to Kroll's still leading the time split a fifty four

75
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to forty six over Duke, so Krol is getting to

76
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: see as well. Over on the Charger side, Melvin Gordon's

77
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: getting an a since Jamie Collins and Emmanuel Ogba have

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: gone down with injury. The Brown Brown's run defense is

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: allowing over a hundred and fifteen yards per game to

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. There's just not enough snaps or touches

81
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: to get Austin Ekeler in your lineup. But Melvin Gordon

82
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: gets an A grade. Keenan Allen also getting an A grade.

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: In the last three games, Allen has thirty four targets.

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: No other Charger has more than thirteen two straight weeks

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: with huge games in Cleveland's given up a slot touchdown

86
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: in three of their last four games, and Keenan Allen

87
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: primarily plays the slot. Philip Rivers also getting an A.

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: Browns have allowed the second most touchdown passes in the

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: league and Rivers is thrown for multiple touchdowns in six

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: of his last eight. I also got Hunter Henry with

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: a B grade. Henry Henry faces a defense that has

92
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: allowed a tight end touchdown in four straight games. He's

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: not an A grade because his usage has been spotty.

94
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: He did catch all five of his targets last week

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: for seventy six yards and a score, but the prior

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: three weeks he had to one and two catches without

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown, so he's only getting a B. If he

98
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: was getting regular usage, he would be in an agree alright.

99
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Nicely don Panthers take on the Saints. Brian, It's always

100
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: hot and cold with Cam Newton, right, you get, you know,

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the one touchdown game and then he explodes for three

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: and he runs one in. Is this is this an

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: all or is this a nothing game for Cam Newton?

104
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: It all depends on the availability and effectiveness of the

105
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks for New Orleans, Marshawn Ladmore and Ken Crawley.

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: Um Lattimore did practice yesterday, so he's truly questionable with

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: that ankle injury. He was very limited practice for him.

108
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Ken Crawley expects to play with an abdomen injury. So

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Newton a b here, even though his

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: track record against the Saints isn't that good in last

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: four matchups, hasn't hit two hundred passing yards or total

112
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: more than one touchdown in one game. Uh, but you

113
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: gotta start him either way. But you know, if you're

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: an owner, you're hoping to see the those cornerbacks inactive

115
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: or ineffective on Sunday um over to his receivers Devin Funchius.

116
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him an a if Lattimore and

117
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Crawley sit see if one play, I like it all right,

118
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna having him to uh since Kelvin

119
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: Benjamin got traded though, UH funcises after ninety five yards

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: per game and is the clear cut, clear cut top

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: receiving option for the Panthers. Even with Greg Olsen, who

122
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: made his return last week. UM, he did leave with

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: a foot injury. I'm giving him a seeing this one

124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: has at least ninety receiving yards or at least one

125
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: touchdown four of his last five games against the Saints.

126
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: The Saints have allowed to tight end to hit either

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: forty five yards or end or score touchdown in five

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: straight games. So Olsen, even though he left last week,

129
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: I will play him this week. And Newton did miss

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: him for a touchdown in the end zone, so there

131
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: was an opportunity for him there. UH. Over to the

132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: running game, Christian McCaffrey might not play with the shoulder injury.

133
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: You know, he says he's gonna go. He is, okay.

134
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: I figure that he said he's playing, so I'll give

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: him a b uh. In week three these teams met,

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: he racked up a hundred and seventeen combo yards, basically

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: all of them through the air. Todd Gurley just posted

138
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: fifty four receiving yards against the Saints, and McCaffrey has

139
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: been running the ball pretty well as of late, to

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: averaging over five and a half yards per carry over

141
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: his last three And Jonathan Stewart, he is on the bench,

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a target since week six, averaging two points

143
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: seven yards per cary since week four. They keep using them,

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: they keep using they keep using him. Jonathan Stewart's giving

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: them nothing. Probably the most touchdown dependent player in all

146
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: of in all of fantasy football, uh, the scenes have

147
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: allowed just four rushing touchdowns. So yeah, he's on the bench.

148
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Over to the New Orleans side, Alvin Kamara, Gonna give

149
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: him an a here. Even in a tough matchup. It

150
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup, tough matchup, even through the air.

151
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Carolina is very tough against running backs. Only one running

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: back has top fifty receiving yards and that was three

153
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Cohen who did it on one catch for seventy yards.

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: And uh, they've only allowed one receiving touchdown to a

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: running back as well. But Kamara is just so electric

156
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: you gotta have him in your lineup. And mark Ingram

157
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: remains in your lineup as well. Going to give him

158
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: a B even though Kamara is seriously eating into his production. Um,

159
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: he's his carreas that fall into eleven per game over

160
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, Ingram that is. But he's been

161
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: very productive, especially at home, averaging five yards per carry.

162
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: But again, a very tough matchup, so temporary expectations there.

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas give him an A. He runs most of

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: his routes from the left sole draw cornerback James Bradberry's

165
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: ranks and coverage by Pro Football Focus, so he's a

166
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: strong start per usual Ted games. How about the end zone?

167
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Is that? You know? Is that ask him too much?

168
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas? For all the catches and the yards, can

169
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: you just get into the end zone place? The longest

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: touchdown drought last year was two games. He's at seven

171
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: right now. I think he's got two on the season.

172
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, probably. Yeah. He hasn't scored in seven games,

173
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: so that sounds about right. So he is long overdue

174
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: for a touchdown here. Maybe ted Gin will get one

175
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: too in a revenge game, so I'm gonna give him

176
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a CEU. He scored in the Week three meeting, and

177
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: he also has a favorable matchup against owner Darryl Worley,

178
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: who's ranked coverage. So you gotta like the receivers more

179
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: than the running backs in this game. That's why I'll

180
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: give Drew beat Drew bees Brees bees breeze be uh.

181
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: He's flamed the Panthers over the last two years, averaging

182
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns per game, so you gotta like

183
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: him little more at home in this game. Lions take

184
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: out in the Ravens and there's not a lot to

185
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: talk about here. Ravens defense is returned to being awesome,

186
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: and so I've just got a couple of seas on

187
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the Lions and that's it. We're beginning with the let's

188
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: spaking of Matthew Stafford. This is probably his toughest challenge

189
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: of the entire season. It's at Baltimore. Ravens have given

190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: up the second fewest passing touchdowns, less than one passing

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. They've only allowed two passing touchdowns in

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: their last five home games. No quarterbacks top two fifty

193
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: two yards against them all season long. This is a

194
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: great Ravens past defense, and I'm really worried about Stafford,

195
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: who just gets a nervous c grade and almost a

196
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: bench grade from me. Golden Tate gets a nervous C grade.

197
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Since joining the Lions, Ineen He's played seventeen games and

198
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: outdoor stadiums. Never scored over seventeen outdoors for Golden Tate,

199
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: snapping that streak will be tough against the Ravens defense

200
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: that's allowed the second fewest receiver touchdowns the fourth fewest

201
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: yards to receivers. The only glimmer of good news here

202
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: is that take goes up against slack corner Maurice Cannadie Kennedy,

203
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: who is easily the worst of the Ravens cornerbacks. Marvin

204
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: Jones is on the bench. I know he's red hot,

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: and he's scored five touchdowns in his last four games.

206
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: I know he just scored twice even with Xavier Rhodes coverage,

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: But this is such a tough matchup. Ravens have only

208
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: given a five touchdowns to receivers all year, second fewest,

209
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: four fewest yards of the position. I don't I don't

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: like Marvin Jones in this matchup. He's gonna see a

211
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: lot of Jimmy Smith too, and I don't like that.

212
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Amer Abdullah's definitely on the bench. He's questionable with the

213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: neck Injury's a true game time decision. Even if he

214
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: does go, he's averaging less than three yards per carry

215
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: and four the last five Lions games. And then he's

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: got the matchup, which is just brutal. Since the defensive

217
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: tackle Brendan Williams returned from injury, the Ravens have allowed

218
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: the second fewest rushing yards, just fifty three per game.

219
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Amir of Duel is gonna need a ton of luck

220
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: to get anything done here. Let's go to the Baltimore side.

221
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Only one startable player, Alex Collins. He gets a B grade.

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: He's scored in two straight he's not double digit carries

223
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and seven consecutive games. It's a positive opportunity this week.

224
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: Detroit louts the eleventh most rushing yards, second most rushing touchdowns,

225
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: and the back has found the end zone against them

226
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: in nine different games this year, nine times, nine times.

227
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: The whole passing the whole passing game is on the bench.

228
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: On Monday Night, the Ravens passing game laid an egg

229
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: against a terrible Houston secondary. Detroit secondary is much better.

230
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Darius Slay is going to neutralize Mike Wallace, KeAndre Diggs

231
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: will take care of Jeremy Macklin in the slot, and

232
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that leaves Flacco to throw too. Max Williams, Max Williams,

233
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: we'll go with that. Danny Wood had also on the bench.

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: He's caught five passes and five passes in the two

235
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: games back. What has he done with those ten receptions?

236
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: Forty four yards? That's it. He's got to get more yardage.

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: And Detroit's only allowed one running back receiving a touchdown.

238
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: That damning. If you won't start Danny Look, I won't

239
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: start Danny Wood had. Nobody should. Yeah, we're gonna work

240
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: in a fourth matchup, Colts taking on the Jaguars. Matt

241
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: and for the Colts, I don't see a scenario where

242
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: anybody starts, including t Y Hilton. That's just me. I'd

243
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: have everybody on the bench. Do you do you see

244
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: it differently? Completely agree. The entire Colts offenses on the bench.

245
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette has been sacked a league high forty three times,

246
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: and he faces the saxon Ville Jaguars, who lead the

247
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: league with forty one sas. He's going to die, um

248
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. It's interesting to note that Jalen Ramsey

249
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: followed Larry Fitzgerald into the slot last week. I believe

250
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey will be following t Y Hilton around the field.

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: That's that the Jaguars have allowed two touchdowns to wide

252
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: receivers of this season, Hopkins in Week one, Jaren Brown

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: last week, who wasn't being covered by a team. That's

254
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: why Jalen Ramsey. Hilton had two catches for twenty seven

255
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: yards in the first meeting this year. Bench Jack Doyle

256
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: has never topped ten yards against Jacksonville in five career games. Alright,

257
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Bench Frank gore four career games as a colt against

258
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, sixteen carries for sixty two yards, sixteen carries

259
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: for sixty eight yards, sixteen carries for sixty yards, seventeen

260
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: carries for fifty three yards. Jaguars are the number one

261
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: run defense over the last five weeks in the NFL. Yeah, um,

262
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles. I'm gonna save my talking points on Blake

263
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Bortles for next segment when he may be a player

264
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: you could take a chance on. But d D. D.

265
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Marquise Lee. I gave c grades too. Since D. D.

266
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Westbrook joined the team, He's led the team in targets,

267
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: averaging eight per game. Unfortunately, those sixteen targets have only

268
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: translated to nine catches and seventy six yards for Westbrook.

269
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: India has allowed four wide receiver touchdowns in the last

270
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: four games, though, and in the first meeting, Alan Hearns

271
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: topped one yards. Both Mark Easley and Keelan Cole were

272
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: each over sixty yards. That's why both Westbrook and League

273
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: get the C grade for me and Leo Fournette he

274
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: gets an A grade. The Colts are allowing a hundred

275
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and nine rush yards per game to opposing backs over

276
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: the last six and India has allowed the fourth most

277
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: receiving yards to opposing backs. For Net has multiple catches

278
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: and eight of nine games this year, so I think

279
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: he's an easy A. This week, we'll talk about Blake

280
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: portals later later being next segment, and we come back

281
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: five tough questions. No no, no, no no no. Rewind

282
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in

283
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: your starting lineup will tell you upon whom you can

284
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: take a chance. When we come back, your distinctive Fantasy

Speaker 1: Nine players upon whom you can take a chance, beginning

290
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: with the quarterback position, Matt. The holiday season is full

291
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: of surprises, and everybody's gonna be surprised to hear that

292
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: I have Blake Portless, quarterback who ranks six in the

293
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: NFL and quarterback rushing yards and scored on the ground

294
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: twice last week. What it's Blake Portals. Uh, six of

295
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: eleven quarterbacks who have faced the Colts this year have

296
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: thrown for two yards or more. In his last four

297
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: games against Indie, Portals has either had yards or multiple

298
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game, and that includes the three thirty

299
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: and one that he threw for in the first meeting

300
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: this season. Blake Portals are we take three yards on

301
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Yeah, alright, and then probably one or two

302
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: a couple of probably alright, friend, monkeys might fly out

303
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: of my butt. That already happened once today. That's an

304
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: old Wayne's World reference. I believe it is. Uh, Well,

305
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: Lord bear me strength, because I have Alex Smith at

306
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the Jets, who have allowed multiple touchdown passes in eight

307
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: of eleven games. Kevin Hogan threw two touchdowns in about

308
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: a half of a game against New York. J Cutler

309
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: and Matt Moore combined for four touchdowns UH just several

310
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So why not Alex Smith this week? Who

311
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: is running more this year. He has forty seven rushing

312
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: attempts on the season, which is one less than his

313
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: total from a year ago. He's averaging an impressive five

314
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and Cam and Tyrod both scored on

315
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: the ground in UH the last three weeks, so there's

316
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: hope there for him as well. All Right, my quarterback

317
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,359
Speaker 1: Brett Hundley coming up his best game I both statistically

318
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: and just if you just passing the eye, testy look

319
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: good and easiest matchup of the year for the Packers.

320
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Bucks have allowed at least one passing touchdown in every

321
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: game this season. They now rank dead last in passing

322
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game. And let's top it off of

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: this for this week, Tampa's likely without starting cornerback Vernon

324
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: Hargraves and starting safety t J Ward, both expected to

325
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: miss this game. Brett Hunley is a terrific play. This week,

326
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position. Matt taking a

327
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: running back who's the number one running back on his

328
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: team but had only eight touches last week. That's DeVante Booker. Yeah,

329
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: the game got got away from the running backs pretty quickly.

330
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: It did. However, despite that, Booker did have a receiving

331
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: touchdown overturned by a questionable replay call, and the Dolphins

332
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: are a prime matchup for him to break out. In

333
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: the last five games, Alex Collins, Jonathan Stewart, and Dion

334
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: Lewis each top two hundred yards against Miami, and in

335
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: that time, four other running backs scored a touchdown, including

336
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, Rex Burkhead and Christian McCaffrey who each scored twice.

337
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of touchdowns to go around. There's

338
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of yards to go around. Davante Booker, he

339
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: was my guy last week, and when he scored that

340
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: touched down, I started I started quickly composing my my

341
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: take on tweet and then they called it back questionable. Yes, uh, Brian,

342
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: you're running back. I'm gonna go below Powell here. First off,

343
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: just take a chance on him by adding him in

344
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: hopes that mad Four tastes. It's he's questionable with a

345
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: knee injury even before he does suit up. Maybe he

346
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: doesn't finish the game with those creaky knees. But even

347
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: if fourt plays, it's a decent matchup for Powell. Casey

348
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: is allowing a healthy four and a half yards per carry,

349
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: and I've you've been up h rushing touchdowns in five

350
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: the last six games. They've also allowed eight teen catches

351
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: to running backs over the last two games, and Powell

352
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: has double digit touches in four of his last five

353
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: and at least nine carries in all of those five games.

354
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: So take a chance on our boy ball Powell. You've

355
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: been hoping, you've been waiting for this one since since

356
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: pre season. Just me you Uh, Duke Counton already touched

357
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: on him last segment he starts. You gotta get that

358
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: blow Powell tattoo removed by the way I look, I

359
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: was off of him this this this after getting after

360
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: are the Jets burned me on Belal Powell? I didn't

361
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: burn myself. The Jets got it wrong all last year

362
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: by under utilizing him until Thanksgiving. I'm like, I don't

363
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: trust the Jets to get this thing right. I'm off

364
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: belal poll okay, and I think that turned out to

365
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: be one of the few things I did get right

366
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: this preseason. Duke Johnson, wait a minute. Duke Johnson has

367
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: carved out a nice PPR role in four catches in

368
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: each of his last at least four catches in each

369
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: of his last six games, and he's running well as well,

370
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: five and a half yards per carry over his last

371
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: month of games. He's chipping in meaningful rushing yards. You're

372
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: getting like thirty five forty rushing yards per game from

373
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. Over the last month, Chargers have allowed the

374
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: most receptions and the fifth most receiving yards to running backs.

375
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: All right, who's your receiver? Matt? I got Julius Thomas

376
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: facing his former team, Denver Broncos in the revenge game.

377
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: It's a big revenge game. We'll talk about that soon.

378
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: They've the Broncos have allowed the second most yards and

379
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: the fourth most touchdowns to the tight end position and

380
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: allowed a tight end touchdown in four of the last

381
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: five games. Thomas has had four or more catches and

382
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: three of his last four, and in weaker tight end matchups,

383
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. He had six catches for eighty

384
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: four yards and a touchdown against Oakland and five for

385
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: fifty two last week against New England. So Julius Thomas

386
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: all Right, I got Houston's Bruce Ellington at Tennessee. Tennessee

387
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: has ranked twenty ninth against number two wide receivers by

388
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: football outsiders. One of the main reasons. Will Fuller caught

389
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: two touchdowns when these teams first met. Ellington even contributed

390
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: in that first game as a number three receiver with

391
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: three catches for forty four yards on just four targets.

392
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: But um Fuller has been ruled out of this game

393
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: with a rib injury, so Ellington will be starting alongside

394
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. And Ellington has seen a lot of volume

395
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: with Tom Savage quarterback, at least seven targets and four

396
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: straight games and catches of twenty plus yards in three

397
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: straight so there's big play potential in this matchup. We

398
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: urged people to uh to drop Fuller when that injury

399
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: came down what now three four weeks ago, and hopefully

400
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: people actually did do that. Unfortunate turn of events for him,

401
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: but BOYD from a dynasty and empire standpoint, Will Fuller's

402
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: prospects in the future look very good. My take a chance,

403
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean wide receiver a familiar name to many of

404
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: our local listeners, cor Darryl Patterson. He goes up against

405
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, Michael Crabtree suspended to Mary Cooper, is not

406
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna go. Corderyl will be a starter, and he's gonna

407
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: face a Giant's pass defense that's without generous Jenkins. That's

408
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: a plus, and they get back Eli Apple. That's a plus.

409
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: Two pluses for Corderyl Patterson and the Giants secondary just

410
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: getting roasted over the last five games. They've allowed eight

411
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: touchdowns to whiteouts there seven against the past, giving up

412
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy passing yards per game, which is almost

413
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: exactly what Derek Carr averages in home games to seventy.

414
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw on two seventy yards of balls, then

415
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: of balls. Then I think Corderyl is gonna get plenty

416
00:21:51,040 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: of balls. I'm still about fourteen years old, yep. Such

417
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: as Seals Vikings take on the Falcons, and this game

418
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: has taken a fairly big shift in the last twenty

419
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: four hours in my mind, because Desmond Trufont is not

420
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: going to go in this game, and that's taking the

421
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: best It's taking the Xavier Roads out of their out

422
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: of their defense. Trufont was a top ten ranked cornerback

423
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. I mean Steph Diggs is in

424
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: a much better situation and he elevates all the way

425
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: up to an A grade For me. Um hasn't top

426
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: five catches since Week three, but this feels like a

427
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: potential breakout against Bleedy ray Wilson, who is the backup.

428
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: For a good reason, it is a great matchup for Diggs.

429
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: Bleedy ray Wilson has been one of the lowest rated

430
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus over his career. Uh I

431
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: am feeling draws a similarly tempting matchup. He goes up

432
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: against Brian Poole, who ranks fifty four by Pro Football Focus.

433
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Falcons have only left three slot receivers the top fifty yards,

434
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: and those all came in the first five games of

435
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: the seasons. They've been better lately, but those big games

436
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: have come from good slot receivers. Feelings equals Golden Tate,

437
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, Doug Baldwin. Guys at Theeland's level get it done.

438
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade here case Kendom. I bumped

439
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: him from a sea to a B on the Desmond

440
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: tru Font News. Quarterbacks have struggled against the Falcons, though

441
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: no cornerback has thrown for more than two touchdown passes

442
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: in the game. Three of the last four haven't thrown

443
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: any against the Falcons. But King's Keendom's red hot is

444
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: just the reality of it and they don't have to

445
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: fun So I actually have some confidence in case keenum

446
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: and moves up to quarterback number thirteen on my rankings.

447
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: Right now. Cal Rudolph is just to see start here

448
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: because the Falcons have done an excellent job of containing

449
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: tight ends, allowing only two to score and only one

450
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: to top sixty yards. However, they have a lot of

451
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: tight ends to go over fifty yards in three straight

452
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: weeks and we're just got at least seven targets in

453
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: six last seven weeks. They're giving him a lot of

454
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: usage here. And for the running backs of the Vikings,

455
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: I think this is a Jerick McKinnon game. The Falcons

456
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: run defense is getting better lately, but they've really struggled

457
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: with utility backs like Jerick McKinnon, Trek Cohen, Time Montgomery,

458
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, Christian McCaffrey all big games against the Falcons. Um.

459
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: I know McKinnon hasn't done a lot the last several weeks,

460
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: but the Falcons have stuffed straight ahead runners like Latavia's Murray,

461
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: So I think McKinnon gets most of the work. And

462
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: that's why Lottavias Murray is also just a C grade,

463
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: even though he's been getting more work and he's been

464
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: good lately. Atlanta has done a good job of other

465
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, straight ahead straight and runners Jonathan Stewart

466
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty one yards, Alfred Morris fifty three yards, Doug Martin

467
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: thirty three yards, you're straight ahead, unner aren't getting it

468
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: done against the Falcons. I think McKinnon gets more work

469
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: this week than he has in recent games. Let's flip

470
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: over to the Atlanta side, Freeman and Coleman with DeVonta

471
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: Freeman back, and that means you get your time share

472
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: back as well. Sixty probably back to Freeman, he gets

473
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: fresh legs. Coleman's back. He's been great, but now he's

474
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: back to being what he was, where you're just throwing

475
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: darts and opens for touchdowns. Vikings are limiting opposing running backs,

476
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: so just sixty six yards per game on the ground,

477
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: They've given up just three rushing touchdowns all year. If

478
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: you divide that roughly in half, that's not great numbers

479
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: for either Freeman or Coleman. I don't love either one here,

480
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: but they both get C grades. Let's go to the

481
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: passing game. Matt Ryan just a C grade, posing quarterbacks

482
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: averaging just two ortered thirty passing yards and one touchdown

483
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: pass against the Minnesota Vikings defense. Vikings have surrendered more

484
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: than one touchdown pass just once in their last eight games.

485
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: And if if Julio is gonna draw Xavier Rhodes, and

486
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: that's gonna affect Matt Ryan as well. And let's go

487
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: to that matchup for Julio Jones, just to be grade here.

488
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna start Jones no matter what, and especially

489
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: after last week's two utter fifty two touchdown game. But Rhodes,

490
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: who should be fully healed from the calf injury that

491
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: he played through on Thanksgiving ten days rest, I think

492
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna do to Jones what he does the most

493
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: number one receivers, and that's limit them heavily. Let's remember

494
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: Julio Jones eleven games this year. Three have been big games,

495
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: and eight of them have been you know, six catches

496
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: sixty yards. Yeah, that's that. I think that's more likely

497
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get out of Julio Jones this week.

498
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Mohamed Sanus on the bench because Terrence and Newman has

499
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: been terrific in the slot and Austin Hooper horribly inconsistent.

500
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: The Vikings have been great against tight ends. Also on

501
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: the bench. When we come back, we'll continue pounding through

502
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: fantasy matchups to get you ready for Sunday, including the

503
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs taking on the Jets. What do you do about

504
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt? Now? Will answer that question when we come back.

505
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: You're distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome

506
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: back to the show. It's Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan,

507
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: full slate, no Bie weeks, no Thanksgiving games. We've got

508
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: a lot of matchups to get through to get you

509
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: ready to dominate on Sunday, Chiefs take on the Jets.

510
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Brian and any time you're talking about the Chiefs, the

511
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: a topic Kareem Hunt. He he blew all. Actually I

512
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: don't like he blew anything. I think his coach put

513
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: him in a position where he could not succeed against

514
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: a very vulnerable Buffalo defense last week. Now he travels

515
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: to New York to face the Jets. What do you

516
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: think about Kareem Hunt? Yeah, and his old line isn't

517
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: doing him any favors. Brutal, He's got nowhere to go.

518
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Half of his eleven carries he got hit by in

519
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Yeah, I'm gonna give him a

520
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: CE for caution. Um, it's a tough matchup. Je Jets

521
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: are allowing under three point two yards per carry over

522
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, and over during that same span,

523
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: Hunt's yards per carry has dropped two holy yards his

524
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: average over the last six weeks. There's one silver lining here. Uh,

525
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: it's char hand Charkendrick West is out and when West

526
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: was out in weeks six and seven, Hunt played in

527
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: over snaps. Usually when West is healthy, plays around six

528
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: the snaps. So he should see more volume here, hopefully

529
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: some more targets. So that's what Hunt has going for

530
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: him in this game. But because it's fantasy football and

531
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: everybody's giving up on him right now, you watch, this

532
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: is gonna be the game. By the way, I do

533
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of radio in Kansas City. Uh, They've got

534
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: a terrific station there, Henry Lakes new station, and they

535
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: are It's it's pitchfork time down there. I mean, there

536
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: is so much pressure to get kare homes, get Kareem

537
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: hot back in. We'll talk more about Cremont a little later. Yeah,

538
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: I like him on fan ball this week. Is a

539
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: contrarian player. Everyone's gonna be offome everybody a lot more,

540
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot more volume for him in this game. Uh,

541
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: someone you gotta like a lot more, Miss Travis Kelsey

542
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: and give him an a. Uh. The only tight end

543
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: the Jets have faced who's in Kelsey's league? It's Gronk,

544
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: who scored two touchdowns. Only four teams have allowed more

545
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns the tight ends and the Jets. So Kelsey obvious

546
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: a tyreek hill. I'll give him a B just because

547
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: of his ceiling. The volume has been there. He's averaged

548
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: seven catches over the last two weeks with just eight

549
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: yards per reception, so that means no big place for

550
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: a Hill. But over the last six weeks, number one

551
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers are feasting on the Jets. They're averaging six catches,

552
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: ninety yards and half a touchdown per game. So I

553
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: will roll Hill out here, and for that reason that's

554
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: why Alex Smith was my take a chance on me

555
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: quarterback over to the jet side. I like Robby Anderson

556
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: a lot again this week in a at least one

557
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: touchdown in five straight games. Also has eighty five plus

558
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: yards and three of those five he won't see a

559
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: ton of Marcus Peters, who lines up at the time

560
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: on the left. Anderson splits his formation thirty percent on

561
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: the left, thirty percent in the slot on the right,

562
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: so he'll be all over the field. I like him

563
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot here. And I like Jermaine Curse too, not

564
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: as much because he hasn't been as hot, but like Anderson,

565
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: he's all over the field as well, so I'll give

566
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: him a B. It's basically, who's ever not in Mark's

567
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Peters coverage is gonna have a pretty good day, Um

568
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: Austin's Ferrie and Jenkins could have a decent day here.

569
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: You can give him a c. Got jobbed again last week,

570
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: taken away from him last week. Three on the year now,

571
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: I think it's at least two. But the Chiefs that

572
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have only allowed one touchdown to tight ends,

573
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: but they've allowed the fifth most yards per game or

574
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: fifth most yards at fifty nine per game. So a

575
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: s J is a viable play, and so is Josh McCown.

576
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: I probably should have made him, might take a chance

577
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: at me quarterback, but I think I've used him like

578
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: four or five times. So um he threw for at

579
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 1: least two scores and I'm sorry he has throw him

580
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: at least one touchdown and nine of his last ten games.

581
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: The one time he didn't was against Jacksonville he threw

582
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: for at least two scores and six of those nine

583
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: four mentioned games, and he just lit up the Panthers

584
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: for three yards and three touchdowns. You gotta like him

585
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: in this matchup. And then that was a revenge game.

586
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Now that's a good part, is this one. I gotta

587
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: think hard as he played for the Chiefs. No, he

588
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: probably tried out for him and they come him. I

589
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: even imagine um Or didn't make the team. And then

590
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: for the running backs, Matt Forte, I'm not playing him

591
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: even if he's active. BELLEL. Powell, I said it might

592
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back, but hey, four

593
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: taste six, I think he's up to a B grade

594
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: in this matchup. All right, let's go to the Patriots

595
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: at the Bills. Get this stat getting it. Get it.

596
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: Brady's average game in Orchard Park over the past six seasons,

597
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: average games stepping on my touchdown call, Well, I wrote it,

598
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and you talk. You took it for me. Three hundred

599
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: sixty yards average game, three hundred sixty yards. Three point

600
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in Orchard Park over the last six seasons

601
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady. I gotta like Brady. He's an easy a.

602
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: You took that from me. But how about this Gronk

603
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: also an easy a. Seven touchdowns in four career one

604
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: yard games and six career games in Buffalo. The only

605
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: time he didn't score in Buffalo, he had seven catches

606
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: for ninety four yards. Yeah that's your downside. Yeah, that's

607
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: your downside in this game. Brandon Cooks getting an a

608
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: as well. Belichick spent the bye week devising ways to

609
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: get Cooks the ball. In the three games since then,

610
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: he said twenty seven targets, six receptions exactly in every

611
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: game at least seventy four yards and scored in two

612
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: of those three. In the last three weeks. Number one

613
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers have torched the Bills to Keenan. Allen had

614
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: that huge game two weeks ago. Michael Thomas had nine

615
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and seventeen the week before. You know,

616
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: like Gronk always goes off in Buffalo. It's home homecoming game.

617
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: He loves the home cooking. Uh. Dion Lewis and Rex

618
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Burkhead both getting a B. The snap counts and touchload

619
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: are pretty much dead, even for Lewis and Birkehead, and

620
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: they're facing a Buffalo d fence that's allowed the most

621
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: rushing scores and the seventh most yards to running backs.

622
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: They've been an absolute disaster since Marcel Darius has gone away. Uh.

623
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Danny Ammendola is the only other guyman I mention he's

624
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: on the bench, been held to forty or few yards

625
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: in five of his last six games. There's a lot

626
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: of other guys. I kind of liked Mike GILLISLEI if

627
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: he was active in a revenge game, but uh, we

628
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: gotta see him active first, so that would be not

629
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: being a healthy scratch is one of the key part

630
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: of portions. Just scoring a touchdown. Ye Uh Lashawn McCoy,

631
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm giving a B. He's scored in three of his

632
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: four career games against the Patriots, and the Patriots are

633
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: allowing four point nine yards per carry in the second

634
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to opposing backs. But he only gets

635
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: the B because game flow could take him out of

636
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: this game really quickly and they and they could just

637
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: be passing the ball. Uh Tyrod Taylor, though, giving him

638
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: a bench grade one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown

639
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: total in his last three games against New England, He's

640
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: never top two hundred forty six yards against the Patriots.

641
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: The only guy in the passing game I can give

642
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: a starting grade too is A Jones the Madden glitch,

643
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: he gets a C grade. He's the only thing in

644
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: the receiving game worth a look since Taylor returned halfway

645
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: through the Peterman debacle. In that Chargers game, Jones leads

646
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: the team with seventeen targets since that point, only a

647
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: game and a half of work. Ten targets last week

648
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: only translated to three catches for thirty three yards. Did

649
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: get a score last week, though, Kelvin Benjamin out and

650
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: definitely with a knee injury. Jordan Matthews is invisible. Charles

651
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: Clay is on the bench as well. Clay hasn't scored

652
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: since Week three and has only scored one time in

653
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: his last nine meetings with New England. Nice work on

654
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup. Forty Niners take on the Bears. This

655
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: is a lot easier than your matchup. There's only three

656
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: Niners to even talk about. Let's go to the running

657
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: game first. Carlos high to see grade here, averaging just

658
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: fifty eight rushing yards per game, but he does get

659
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: targeted seven times per games, so he's chipping in a

660
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: little more through the air. He's gone over one hundred

661
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: total yards and two of the last three games. But

662
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: he faces a Bears defense that's allowed just four running

663
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: backs to top eighty total yard just one runner to

664
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: top one hundred total yards. So I don't love the

665
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: matchup here. We'll give him a C grade. Let's go

666
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: to the passing game. It's Jimmy Garoppolo's debut game for

667
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. The Bears have been a top ten

668
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: past defense all year, but they've loosened up quite a

669
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: bit recently. They've allowed six passing touchdowns in their last

670
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: three games. The three highest passing average games they've allowed

671
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: have come in the last five weeks. The part yeah,

672
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: the three highest passing yardage games they've allowed have come

673
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: in the last three five weeks, So trending the wrong

674
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: way for this defense. Adrian Amos, They're safety's not gonna

675
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: play in this game, and his backup may not play

676
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: in this game, and so that may help, and that

677
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: will also loosen things up for Marky's Goodwin with a

678
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: B grade. He's lad the team in yards each of

679
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, averaging per game. Bears have allowed

680
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns to wide receivers in those same three games.

681
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: And then get this, nine different receives nine times. Different

682
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: receivers have top five d yards in just the last

683
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: four games. Nine different receivers of top fifty yards. We

684
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: gotta set it up so it's not nine different. You

685
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: gotta say it happened nine times. Yeah, let's work on

686
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: that wall. I'll have to phrase that a little bit.

687
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Good revenge game for Marquees. Sorry, you know. Buffalo Goodwin

688
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: leads the NFL in average yards per catch at twenty

689
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: one and a half afriage yards per catch, which is bonkers.

690
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: Be great for him. Chicago side, I love Jordan Howard.

691
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: This week he goes up against the San Francisco defense.

692
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: That's allowed the second most rushing yards, the most receiving

693
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns to uh and most receiving yards to running back,

694
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: so he should be in a great spot here. He

695
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: should see fifteen or more carries for the ninth time

696
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: in the last ten weeks and volumes nine times, thank you,

697
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: and he should have all that volume. Should make him

698
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: a lock for a big game against the forty Niners

699
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: that have allowed a touchdown and or one yard rushers

700
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: and seven straight weeks. Jordan Howard terrific star. This even

701
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: trickles down to Trek Cohen, who's a spot starter here.

702
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: If John Fox is smart, he'll work in a lot

703
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: of Cohen against San Francisco defense that's allowed the most

704
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: receiving yards to running backs all year. Is the only

705
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: team that has allowed over six hundred yards receiving to

706
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: the position. And there's so much worse than everybody else.

707
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: There's a one hundred yard buffer to the next team

708
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: in receiving yards allowed to running backs. So Tarik Cohen,

709
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: glimpse of life. How about a se grade on Adam

710
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: Shaheen maybe as a flyer. The Niners are getting killed

711
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: by tight ends lately. Over the last five games, they've

712
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: given up six tight end touchdowns. She he did nothing

713
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: last week and there's no guarantee here. But that's there

714
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: is an angle on the bench. Is the rest of

715
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: the passing game. Mitch Drobisky just isn't approving much. And

716
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: he's throwing just four touchdowns in seven games, and his

717
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: one hundred sixty yard per game average isn't getting better lately.

718
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: It's not like he's trending towards higher stats. He's really not.

719
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: And that just to me that torpedoes dontrell edmant as well.

720
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: I know there's some temptation to use them against the

721
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners here, but the Bears passing game hasn't proven

722
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: they can beat anybody, and not even necessarily a mediocre

723
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: Niners group. Let's go to the phones. We need a

724
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Ed Rooney um on the sound bar, we really do.

725
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: Let's get at Rooney on the sound bar. Ryan, thank

726
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: you for your patience. Well, thanks for taking my call. Guys.

727
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: I love the show. Thank you. So. I know it's

728
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: not lightning round, so I'm trying to possibly get too

729
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: and if I can, yes, cool, um, so I have

730
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: Danny would hit in and you guys thought that wasn't

731
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: good but I kind of have a a lot of

732
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: mediocres this week. So I got dark Law or Booker

733
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: I could start in place? Would that be feasible? Well?

734
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: I like Booker a lot more than Woodhead. I gave

735
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: him a starting grade and he was gonna take a

736
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: chance on me runner, So maybe I'm a little biased there.

737
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a better play. I've got

738
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: him ranked higher than all the others. Perfect. And then

739
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: you guys just said good things about Marquis good One.

740
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: Would you put him in over tagious Murray in my

741
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: flex spot? Yes? In PPR. Good Ones not a great PPRU.

742
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: He's a low volume, high impact guy. Um, if you

743
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: need you know, thinks a little bit of what you

744
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: want out of the position. Right, good Ones, your high risk,

745
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: high reward guy passes. Murray doesn't catch any path? Is it? PPR? Ryan?

746
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: You're you're hoping for like fifty sixty yards and a

747
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: touchdown from Murray? But Goodwin could easily top both of

748
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: those things if he has a good game. Thanks so much,

749
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: Thanks right, I appreciate is here outstanding? Thank you? Ryan?

750
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Regular caller Ben? Hello, Ben? Hey you guys? Hi? Um? Sorry? Yeah,

751
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: take up? So I got um Julio Joan currently, I

752
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: put him actually in my lineup. I have Devin Funches

753
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: in my bench. That's my current set up right now.

754
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: But I also have Kareem hunting. Um, would you keep

755
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: that set up? Well, we we had the Funches discussion,

756
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: and we don't know the cornerback situation and it all

757
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: depends on Lattimore and Crawley. To me, if they're If

758
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: those guys are out, then I'm definitely playing funchess, gonna

759
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: play if Lattimore is out. If Lattimore is out, I

760
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: might put Bunches over Hunt, but if Lattimore is in,

761
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: I would go hunt Julio. That's that's I think I

762
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: agree gut there as of right now. Well, if you

763
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: had Um Burken, I like I got Burkett over Hunt.

764
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: I have Burkett a head Hunt too. Yeah, did you

765
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: keep Julio in? Well, okay, I'll go that route. I

766
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: want to appreciate guys. Yeah, I think you've got something

767
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: really quick. I don't know if you've ever had a

768
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: caller to do this, but I'm currently sitting really well

769
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: in all three of my week. If I win on

770
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: any of them, can I donate till one of you

771
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: guys's charity each races. Yeah, you should hit up Scott

Speaker 1: Fish for sure at Scott fish four on Twitter. Yeah

774
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: needy children. Eight thousand dollars worth yesterday. Pretty impressive. I'd

775
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: be right, thank you. That's nice you're thinking about there.

776
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that very much. Um, we actually have

777
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: time for one more, which feels weird. We should be

778
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: just jammed on time because of all the all the

779
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: matchups to get to. But we're gonna work into the call. Paul, Hello, Hey,

780
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: what's going on talking to you? So? I got a conundrum.

781
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm between I got dark Wa and I picked up Williams.

782
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Um do to your rankings, and then I also have

783
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: sus between dark Wa and U Jamal Williams. Well which Williams? Yeah,

784
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: which which Williams are you talking about? Just to be

785
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: clear on this, it is Jamal Williams. Okay yet him.

786
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much good on him, I think, But it's

787
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: between dark ran Mary. So Mury is killing you and

788
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: here's at sooner or like Tennessee is not in a

789
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: position to keep scuffling along barely winning games. Losing games

790
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: they should win. They need to get their best player

791
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: on the field. That's Henry, who has been the far

792
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: better running back for a month. And I'm worried that

793
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: it's sooner or later they're gonna quit this timeshare thing

794
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: one of these games and they're just few years and

795
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: they haven't understand well I know. But also Murray was

796
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: great last year and he's been he started okay this

797
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: year and he's he's been garbage for about a month.

798
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: Sooner or later. I I worry if I'm a DeMarco

799
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: Murray owner, that they're gonna go, Hey, what happens when

800
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: we get Derrick Henry twenty two carries in a game.

801
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee's cruising into a playoff spot almost no matter what

802
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: right now. So they can afford to just like waste

803
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray touches and keep things off of Henry, knowing

804
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: that Henry is going to be there guy next year. Yeah,

805
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: let's start dark one, if only because you know the

806
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: Giants have to keep the ball away from the quarterback

807
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: position at all costs. Thank you, Paul, good luck, go

808
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: add ball. Powell. Yeah, now I played dark Overpoll. Yeah,

809
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: Gallman was eating too those curious a little bit, not meaningfully.

810
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Everyone's getting a chance to play for the Giants. Everybody

811
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: who wants to play on the third string running back

830
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: thanks to Dave Wilson, manager managed Steakhouse. Mm hmmm mm

831
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: hmm hot. Question number one, Can I eat it? Manny's

832
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: right now? That is that's That's what I'm thinking about

833
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: right now. From this point going forward, new starting receiver

834
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon will finish as a wide receiver one wide

835
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: receiver too, flex or bench player. Let's begin with Matt

836
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: He's a bench player because Deshaun Kaiser isn't good Kaiser

837
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: so so would be a nice nickname for him. You

838
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm taking that? That's good? Why where's that been? All?

839
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: To be fair? From the from the Bill Simmons podcast, Shoot,

840
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: I can't, but it's still a great nickname. Chargers. This

841
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: week for Cleveland Ravens and Bears and the Fantasy playoffs

842
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: are bad matchups. The only good matchup is against Green Bay.

843
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: That's a out of rust to knock off for a

844
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't played in three years. He's a bench player. Yeah,

845
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't have much to add the Green Bay game.

846
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: I give him enough points from an overall perspective to

847
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: make him a complex worthy but from a points per

848
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: game perspective, no, you're benching him in every week outside

849
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: of Green Bay next week. So yeah, he's on the bench. Um. Yeah,

850
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: you can't get to wide receiver one status or even

851
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver two status with the quarterback who can't throw,

852
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: and so you know that knocks out wide receiver one

853
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: and two. And now it's just flex your mention. You

854
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: guys have decoded this correctly. The schedule only has him

855
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: really as feeling safe to start against Green Bay. I

856
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: don't like Baltimore, Chicago or Pittsburgh matchups. And let's remember

857
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: he played five games in fourteen, his most recent season,

858
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: and scored no touchdownst Question number two with the Giants. Now,

859
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: with the direction of the dark Lord of worm Burners,

860
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: should fantasy owners just drop Sterling Shepherd? Brian? This one

861
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: cuts to the core, doesn't it. No? Not really, Oh,

862
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: come on you all, you're just number. I remember when

863
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: the hot question was should you drop all your Giants,

864
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: like six seven weeks ago, I said no, you gotta

865
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: hold Shepherd and Ingram And I'm still holding Shepherd even

866
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: with Gino Smith and in Austin Webb and whoever else,

867
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: Uncle Rico coming into play quarterback. He'll get the targets

868
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: to at least warrant rostering Shepherd. I'm not saying you

869
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: have to start him every week. People are rostering dontrell

870
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: in men right now. So I would still hold on

871
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: to Sterling Shepherd, who is an elite talent, and you

872
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: want him. In Week sixteen at Arizona, who was allowing

873
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: the fourth most PPR points per game to slot receivers.

874
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: And in that game in Glendale, Eli Manning won't make

875
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: an appearance and he's going to hit Sterling Shepherd in

876
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: the same end zone where he found flax Scow Burrows

877
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: in the greatest Super Bowl of a time when they

878
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: beat the undefeated New England Patriots. So I'm holding Shepherd

879
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: all right. Uh? I wish I could have a song

880
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: to help me. Oh yeah, I think Sterling Shepherd is

881
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: a sabotage draw who says that Shepherd's migraines are over,

882
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: They're only just beginning. Speaking of someone who hasn't played

883
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: a meaningful game since two thousand fourteen. That's Gino Smith's

884
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: last year as a starter in the Jets were bottom

885
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: five in wide receiver receptions, yards and touchdowns. It was

886
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: more of the same bottom seven and receptions, yards and

887
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns the wide receivers. In his two years as a starter,

888
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: he only threw fifteen wide receiver touchdowns. Four teams have

889
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: hit that mark this year in eleven games. He's a drop. Uh.

890
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: If Sterling Shepherd thought his migraines were bad before, wait

891
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: until he's absorbing a half dozen errand passes clanking off

892
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: the back of his helmet. That's what we're looking at

893
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: for Sterling Shepherd. Gino Smith, you you broke down all

894
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: the stats, let me give you. I'm gonna go even

895
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: more granular on Sterling Shepherd. He plays out of the slot.

896
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 1: Here are his slot matchups for the next four weeks,

897
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: and we don't do weeks seventeen on the show because

898
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: league shouldn't play. In week seventeen tomorrow, he gets Oakland's

899
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: e J. Kerry, who ranks twenty by Pro Football Focus.

900
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: Negative matchup. Then he gets Orlando Scandrick, who ranks as

901
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: cornerback one five. That's his only particularly positive matchup left.

902
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: Then he gets Patrick Robinson of the Eagles, he ranks

903
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: second at cornerback by Pro Football Focus. And then lastly,

904
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: he gets Honey Badger in week number sixteen, who's giving

905
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: him the fourth most PPR points per game two slot receivers.

906
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are you can you can take that up

907
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: with the Pro Football Focus. They got him right forty eight,

908
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: which is just okay, It's okay. Would you rather the

909
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: Giants cut Eli this week? That's your one scenario, right,

910
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: is if they bring back Eli game on? You know

911
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: now you know that changes now I'm interested in start.

912
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: I would hold them, I'd be started, I'd be starting him.

913
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: I'd be starting him tomorrow. And there is a chance

914
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: that Gino is going to you know, take him. He's

915
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna work himself out of the rotation, which he should.

916
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: But as David the next quarterback, well see that is yeah,

917
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: they that as well the owner. I think he is

918
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: going to murder Ben McAdoo. He is very upset and

919
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: Manning will be playing again for the Giants, like guarantee

920
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: you that it's going to take a homicide to get there.

921
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: But it's what I hear you say, we're firing. All right,

922
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: Let's move on hot question number three. Should Aaron Rodgers

923
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: be rostered by teams headed to the playoffs? Matt, Yes,

924
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: he's Aaron Rodgers and he's coming back week fifteen. However,

925
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: his two fantasy matchups that he'll see in the fantasy

926
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: playoffs are Tough Carolina in Carolina on Week fifteen home

927
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, and Anthony Barr revenge game in Week sixteen.

928
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: Neither of those are particularly good matchups. But he is

929
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and even to keep him away from somebody

930
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: else in your playoffs, you should roster him and at

931
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: least store him on your bench. All right, Yeah, I

932
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: mean even if you have Carson Wentz right now, I

933
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: still want you never know what's gonna happen to wins

934
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 1: this week or next week. I want Rodgers on my bench.

935
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: Is an option in the playoffs, absolutely, And let's not

936
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: forget to your quarterback today. It could maybe, you know,

937
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: he may he might be out for the season by

938
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: the time sun is over. Look at all the backups

939
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: that are playing across the league right now, and there's

940
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: no guarantee you may have. Even even if you're nervous

941
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: about starting Aaron Rodgers in his first game back off

942
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: a throwing shoulder injury in Carolina, you might need to

943
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: start him Week number fift answer, Yes's hot question number

944
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: four available in leagues. Aaron Rodgers right now. Wow, I

945
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: mean it's a lot of people get up on Yeah,

946
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: you just added him. Devan's hot question Number four for

947
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the season is Kareem Hunt and RB one,

948
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: r B two flex or bench? Brian, Well, I gave

949
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: him a C grade this week and then after this

950
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: week it's Oakland, the Chargers, Miami those there's no roadblocks

951
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: there really, so there's enough flex appeal to keep him

952
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: as a flex played for me. But he basically is

953
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson of running backs right now. He's very

954
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: boom or bust. But I also mentioned out where's the

955
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: boom been back to September? Yeah, I know, Charck Andrick

956
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: West is injured. I don't know how long that's gonna last.

957
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: It's his snap count goes way up without West, and

958
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: so do his targets, so there's some hope there as well.

959
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say saye flex level though, all right? Uh.

960
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: Brian mentioned the schedules worth noting Oakland, Chargers, and Dolphins

961
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: are all home games for for the Chiefs in the

962
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, all three of which rank in the bottom

963
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: twelve of run defenses. I also think what Charch said

964
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: earlier is Kansas City is out with pitchforks and torches.

965
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: Right now, Patrick Mahomes is looming. He is a more

966
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback and a stronger armed quarterback, and his mobility

967
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: might help the offensive line, which would in turn help Hunt.

968
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: So I have him as an RB two the rest

969
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: of the way, the way I have thought about it

970
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: till now that you mentioned it, and I do think

971
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: there's a chance Mahomes gets in this season. Where he

972
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: would help is he'd throw downfield and pull defenses away

973
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: from the line of scrimmage. The Bills just put eight

974
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: men in the box the whole time. They were all

975
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: bunched to the line of scrimmage whole game long, the run,

976
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: blitzing all the time. Kareem Hunt's getting tackle for losses.

977
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: If you've got you know, the moment the home steps

978
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: on the field, He's got like the strongest arm in

979
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: the NFL at that point, and so he should open

980
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: up downfield passing and that that might free up things

981
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: for Hunt as well. Who is an RB two the

982
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: rest of the way? Hot question number five. Many Empire

983
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: and Dynasty leaguers are already looking toward next season, which

984
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: widely available player should be roster now for help next year.

985
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: Matt h That's a guy I just mentioned he's owned

986
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: in twenty percent of my Fantasy league leagues right now,

987
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: and that's Pat Mahomes. He's going to be the starter

988
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs as early as maybe this week. They

989
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: could probably not tomorrow. Halfway through this this game hap

990
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: um strong arm, great deep ball, pretty mobile, and he's

991
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: got weapons. He's got Kareem Hunt, who has been a

992
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: good running back at least he showed flashes at the

993
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill. If

994
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: the old line gets a little bit better in the

995
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: off season, he could and he could help make that

996
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: happen single handedly. I think Patrick Mahomes is a guy

997
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: that people are going to be taking in the uh

998
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, second tier of quarters, not second tier, but

999
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: second group of quarterbacks. Yeah, something like that. Okay, Bryan, Alright,

1000
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: So this Alshon Jeffrey contract extension that was announced this

1001
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: morning puts a little dent in my take here, But

1002
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go with Mac Hollands wide receiver, rookie

1003
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Eagles. Torry Smith, we all know

1004
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: his garbage. Uh, he should not be a threat to

1005
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,479
Speaker 1: Holland's playing time. Next year, Jeffrey will be in town,

1006
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: but uh, he's like forever questionable. As we all know,

1007
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: cares are always looming with Alshon Jeffrey and Hollands is

1008
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: a freak athlete six four two twenty. He's shown flashes

1009
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: and his limited playing time, so I think he takes

1010
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: a leap next year and in an offense, it looks

1011
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be one of the most prolific ones

1012
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: for years to come, which makes this Giants fan very sad. Uh,

1013
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: you are correct, Mac mac hollins is the correct answer

1014
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: for this, And I actually mentioned enough show I'm at

1015
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: you on the show last week or the week before that.

1016
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: I advise Empire and Dinasi leaguers to pick up mcollins

1017
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sticking with it, and all of a sudden,

1018
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: coming back doesn't really change much. It's Tory smith job

1019
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: that he's taken away. Tory Smith's done, he has he

1020
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: can be released with no cap ramifications even though he's

1021
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: under contract. Uh, next year they can release him with

1022
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: no ramifications and they will. He just set a career

1023
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: high with thirty eight snaps last week. Mac Hollands did.

1024
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: He's caught a pass in six straight games. He's caught

1025
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: twelve of thirteen passes that have been thrown his way.

1026
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: So I think there's some increasing confidence in macollins and

1027
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: he could finish the the season well. And keep this

1028
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: in mind, if mchollans is this is a starting receiver

1029
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: next year for the Eagles, he gets Carson Wentz is

1030
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: like whole career ahead of him. To be able to

1031
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: play with Wentz, that makes that's you know, that's such

1032
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: a huge, huge boon to any promising wide receiver to

1033
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: have a young, awesome quarterback at your disposal. Mac Hollands,

1034
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: let's work in a matchup. Next matchup, Texans taking on

1035
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: the Titans. Uh. Brian, Frankly, I don't have a lot

1036
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: of Texans I like here, but knowing you, you're gonna

1037
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: find a way to get Lamar Miller into this discussion. Well, yeah,

1038
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: of course, But let's start with DeAndre Hopkins, who gets

1039
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: an a obviously uh yards and a touchdown against Pat

1040
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: Pete seven against the vaunted Raven secondary. You gotta love

1041
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: him in this matchup. He had ten catches for hundred

1042
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: seven yards in a touchdown in the first meeting, so

1043
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: Nuke is an obvious start. Bruce Ellingtons might take a

1044
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: chance on me wide receiver in this amazing matchup for

1045
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So that's that. And I'm even gonna give

1046
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: c J Fedorowitz a c Not a great matchup on paper,

1047
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: but Tennessee has allowed a tight end to top fifty

1048
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: yards and more of half their games, and c J

1049
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: is averaging seven targets per game. With Tom Savage, he

1050
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: missed the first meeting this year, but scored in both

1051
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: meetings last season, so he is viable in the tight

1052
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 1: end wasteland that is in fantasy football this year, Tom

1053
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: Savage contemplated him as it take a chance on me guy,

1054
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: and I was gonna dust off the impersonation. But he's

1055
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: on the bench. We thought Jacobe Rissette was gonna blow

1056
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: up against the Titans last week. I'm not like he's

1057
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: on the bench, and you gotta give Lamar Miller a CEE.

1058
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 1: He actually had a great game in the first meeting. Um,

1059
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: you have the peacock. By the way, this is a

1060
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: meeting when DeShawn Watson, no one was rostering him and

1061
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: he had five touchdowns. Is might take a chance on

1062
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Those are the days. But it's a tough

1063
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: matchup without Watson. For Miller. The most rushing yards Tennessee

1064
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: has allowed to a single back with seventy seven to

1065
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: Jaji and it took twenty five carries to get him there.

1066
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: But Miller will catch them balls out of the backfield,

1067
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: so he's a very soft see over to the Titan side.

1068
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews if he with a hamstring, I didn't give

1069
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: him a b if he plays, but I'm not gonna

1070
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: be nervous about it. But the matchup is just too good.

1071
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: The Texans are top six in the most yards and

1072
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns surrender to wide receivers. The Texans secondaries also allowed

1073
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers to top ninety yards and scoring

1074
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: touchdown in four of their last five games. But if

1075
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: Matthews cannot go, that is a boon for Corey Davis.

1076
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: I'll give him a b if Matthews lays. And to

1077
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: be if Matthew sits all right, wasn't he supposed to

1078
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: go off and he didn't, I don't know. And he

1079
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: also just saw four targets in his snap count last

1080
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: week was the lowest it's been since returning from injury.

1081
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know. And that was what the shard

1082
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 1: Matthews out. It's the same thing. It's Decker theory though,

1083
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: yeah right, I don't think anyone's even know what that

1084
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: means anyway. Well, speaking to Eric Decker, he's on the bench.

1085
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: Has top four catches or fifty yards just once all season,

1086
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: and that's regardless of Matthews plays or not. This has

1087
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: just been an awful landing spot for Decker. He's on

1088
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: the bench. I like de Laney Walker, though he gets

1089
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: to be. He has top six yards sixty yards and

1090
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: five straight games and it's averaging nearly eight targets per game.

1091
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: During that span, the Texans have left the fifth most

1092
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: receptions and touchdowns to tight ends. So Walker is a

1093
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: nice play, and you would assume Marcus Marriott is a

1094
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: nice play, but he has wet the bed in many

1095
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: nice I know every time you think Mariota set up

1096
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: with this great opportunity, nothing but this is this is

1097
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: this offense, exotic smash mouth that's really worked. I haven't.

1098
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: We haven't had either. I'd rather like listen to smatch mouse.

1099
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: Let's not go there, Let's not go let's not be hasty. Hey,

1100
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: now you're an All Star? What? No good? I don't

1101
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: want it either. But since Week three, only three quarterbacks

1102
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: have failed to throw for three yards and multiple touchdowns

1103
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: against Houston, and that was blame Gabett, Kevin Hogan, and

1104
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. So I'm giving Mario to be even though

1105
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: it should be an A and I'm benching DeMarco Murray

1106
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry. I like Henry a little bit more

1107
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: or I do like Henry probably a lot more at

1108
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: this point, but it's a brutal matchup. Houston is rank

1109
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: ninth against the run by Football Outsiders and have the

1110
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: fewest rushing touchdowns running backs. These two combined for thirty

1111
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards in the first meeting, so they're both

1112
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: on the bench for me. Broncos take on the Dolphins.

1113
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: We already talked about DeVante Booker. I think we all

1114
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: like him as as as they take a chance on

1115
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: me style dark throw this week. Passing offense is now

1116
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: back with Trevor Simeon, So what do you think of that?

1117
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: And the kind of torpedoes the sort of torpedoes to

1118
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: Marrius Thomas who only seems to do anything when he's

1119
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: got Brick Oswiler at the helm. Well, somebody once told

1120
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: me the world was gonna roll me. But Trevor Simeon's

1121
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: getting a C grade. The Dolphins have allowed ten touchdown

1122
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: passes in the last three games, and there are three

1123
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: NFL teams who have allowed ten or fewer touchdown all season.

1124
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have also allowed twenty seven or more points

1125
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: in six straight games. Simeon came in and led too

1126
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: late touchdown drives last week after coming in for Paxton Lynch.

1127
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: I get the gut feeling that there's going to be

1128
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: some new found confidence for sime in here. Yeah. I

1129
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: think the Broncos come out and win this game. It's

1130
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good one for them. It's a

1131
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: good matchup for both Damarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. So

1132
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: I gave both bees. Both wide receivers will get uh

1133
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: will not get Dolphins cornerback or they know they will

1134
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: get Dolphins quarterbacks Xavian Howard and Cordrea tankers Lee. Howard

1135
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: is Pro Football focus one hundred and nine grade among

1136
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: one d and nineteen cornerbacks. Tankers Lee has allowed the

1137
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: NFL's eighth highest passer rating. So are this year, so

1138
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: they're both in with B grades. Austin Trailer, he's a

1139
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: he's a C grade. Kind of a desperation dart throw

1140
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: at Austin Trailer. You say, all right, In the last

1141
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: four weeks, four tight ends have either top two hundred

1142
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: yards or scored against the Dolphins. Trailer came out of

1143
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: nowhere and looked good enough that the Broncos cut hot

1144
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: a J. Derry starting tight A J. Derby, who is

1145
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: now on the Dolphins. On the other side, Well, you

1146
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: know why they picked him up the game, that's right.

1147
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: They they're they they they they're getting They're getting all

1148
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: the intel out of A. J. Derby. So it's a

1149
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: big revenge game. This is the big revenge game for

1150
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: almost the entire Dolphins team. It's not a J. Derby though,

1151
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: you're not starting him, but it is a revenge game

1152
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: for Julius Thomas, who I mentioned is might take a

1153
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: chance on me, tight end J Cutler. J Cutler and

1154
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: head coach Adam Gaze, who is the offensive coordinator there.

1155
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Cutler gets to see he comes out of the concussion

1156
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: protocol and appears to be starting this game. I called

1157
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: it a few weeks back with Andy Dalton and take

1158
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: a chance on me. The Broncos have a break, but

1159
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: don't bend offense a lot of touchdowns in low yardage

1160
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: and the last four quarterbacks to face the Broncos have

1161
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: thrown for multiple touchdowns twelve over that four game span.

1162
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: But no quarterback is top two sixty six yards against

1163
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos all year. That's why Cutler gets a SEA.

1164
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Then there's the wide receiver's Landry Stills and Parker. Only

1165
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: two wide receivers have topped sixty four yards against the

1166
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: Broncos this year, but ten different wide receivers have scored

1167
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: two chains tier, which is weird. That's the break, but

1168
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: don't bend defense right there, that's what I said, the break,

1169
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: but don't bend. Yeah, two chains to leave out for

1170
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: the next two weeks, which helps a little bit. Parker

1171
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: gets the SEA because he's targeted eight times per game

1172
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: and in every healthy J. Cutler that's in every healthy J.

1173
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Cutler game, and he runs more routes at the left cornerback,

1174
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: which is what to leave is vacating. Uh. Stills gets

1175
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: a bench grade because he's the deep yardage guy and

1176
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: that's just not the Broncos m O. Right there, and

1177
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Landry gets a sea because he's the most touched downey

1178
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers. But Chris Harris will travel to

1179
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: the slot and Harris is only allowed one tight one

1180
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: touchdown to wide receivers the entire year. The last guy

1181
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: I'll mention is Kenyan Drake. He gets a B grade.

1182
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Damian Williams and Sonoras Perry are out. That means practice

1183
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: squad call up dave On Smith is the only other

1184
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: healthy running back on the roster. Also, the Broncos will

1185
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: be missing Damonte Peck and Derek Wolf, their best to

1186
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. Williams and Drake were averaging over seven targets

1187
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: per game post a gy E, and the Raiders running

1188
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: backs just total a hundred and eighty seven yards and

1189
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns against this defense last week. It's gonna be

1190
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: a It's gonna be a nice little day for Kenyan Drake.

1191
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Throw him in one of your fan ball lineups if

1192
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: you uh, if you have, because he's cheap on fan ball,

1193
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: that's for sure. When we come back, Campa Bay takes

1194
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: on the Packers. Jamis Winston returns. Does he ignite this offense?

1195
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: Find out when we come back, your distinctive Fantasy Football

1196
01:02:51,920 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back to the show Fantasy

1197
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the Fan. Paul Archie and Matt Harrison,

1198
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: Bryan Johnson with you. We got a big block of

1199
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: matchups and then uh lightning round looming, premature speculation is

1200
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: done for the years. Are at that stage of the year.

1201
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Fucking your take on the Packers and a couple of

1202
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: key elements here for you. First, the Bucks just put

1203
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: their starting center and tackle on injured reserve. I'm very

1204
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: nervous about this offense, to be honest, Um, even with

1205
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson returning, I think there's a lot of reason.

1206
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: My first instinct early in the week was like Winston's returning,

1207
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: He's like three yards per game, He's two per game.

1208
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: This is really good. Then more I'm digging into this,

1209
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the more I'm I'm I'm nervous. So let's talk about

1210
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson gets a B grade here. It is a

1211
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay defense that has allowed the fifth most passing

1212
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: yards over the past five weeks. Um, but I worry

1213
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: about his his rustiness, his offensive line, the prospect of

1214
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: re injury. DeShawn Jackson's got a foot injury. We don't

1215
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: he's a true game time decision. I'm I'm not counting

1216
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: on Jamis Winson having the blow up game that you

1217
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: think a game against the Packers automatically will be. Well,

1218
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't finished the last two games. That's what I'm

1219
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: talking about. Re injury. I listened. Re injury is one

1220
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: of these. He needs to finished the game. So let's

1221
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: talk about Deshan Jackson. Is normally this would be a

1222
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: great matchup for him because, as we have elucidated on

1223
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: this show several times over the past month or so,

1224
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: speed receivers are killing the Packers. That's Deshan Jackson's whole game.

1225
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: But he's a true game time decision right now. So

1226
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: you gotta show some caution here and and again. The

1227
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: offensive line may not allow Jamis Winston time to set

1228
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: up for deep passes. So just to see grade on Jackson,

1229
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, it's a B grade. Uh he got I

1230
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: get there? Are really get there? Are normally there? Re

1231
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: since for optimism here. He has been targeted at least

1232
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: ten times and four the last five games. Hasn't scored

1233
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: since Week seven. Though green based defense is susceptible to receivers,

1234
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: you know that their bottom five in yards and touchdowns

1235
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: allowed to receivers. But still just I'm worried about this

1236
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: whole offense altogether, and I've got some concern for Evans

1237
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: as well, So he gets goes from an A to

1238
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: a B for me. Midweek when they put their center

1239
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: tackle on I R. Cameron Braid and O. J. Howard

1240
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: are disaster. They're out. Um. I know, I know Howard

1241
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: has been getting more looks lately, and you know Bret

1242
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,479
Speaker 1: was better with Winston. You can play all that stuff,

1243
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't started the one Tampa Bay's runners. Doug

1244
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Martin is gonna miss this game, so that means you're

1245
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna see the workload split up three ways, which is

1246
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: a wreck for fantasy owners. Maybe one guy between Sims

1247
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and Rogers and Barber might do something sort of fantasy relevant,

1248
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: But in the middle of the pack pack run defense,

1249
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and good luck guessing which one of those might maybe

1250
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: do something. I think of all of them, Sims is

1251
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: the one that's kind of attractive just because he's the

1252
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: offensive lines having trouble. Might be a lot of dump offs,

1253
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: and I think Levan Bell had like eleven targets last

1254
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: week against Yeah, maybe so that might be an angle. Um, yeah,

1255
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I got a lot of concerns. And again, losing two

1256
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: members of your offensive line isn't gonna help to run

1257
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: game either. So they're on the bench. All right, let's

1258
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: go to the Let's go to the the Packers side

1259
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: already gave you brett Huntley as might take a chance

1260
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. He's gotta be grade in this one.

1261
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about his receivers, Davante Adams. He has been

1262
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: locked into by Bretton Hunley, targeting him nine times. Oh

1263
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: we got a button, wait hold on nine times, nine times,

1264
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: nine times per game. For the last four weeks. Adams

1265
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: has responded with three of his top four yardage games

1266
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: of the season. He who he squares off against, though

1267
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: it leads, is a little bit up in the air

1268
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: because Vernon Hargreaves probably isn't gonna go here. And if

1269
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargreaves and go now he gets his backup, then

1270
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Hargreave's got got destroyed by Julio Jones last week. So

1271
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Davante Adams a grade in this one. With the chaos

1272
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: in the in the secondary, Jordy Nelson, here's his yardage totals,

1273
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: over the last five gamest five four and eleven and

1274
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, but we're dusting them off for this game.

1275
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Brent Grimes has been giving up big plays all year

1276
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: and has been burned by receivers who make their money

1277
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: on the right side of the offense like Jordy Nelson does,

1278
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: including Stefan Diggs, Odell Beckham, Chris Hogan, John Brown, Ted Again,

1279
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson, Kenny Stills. It's a glorious matchup for Jordy Nelson.

1280
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: I think Green Bay is gonna win this game decidedly,

1281
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: and I think Jordy is gonna bounce back with a solid,

1282
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: solid could use Jordy Nelson. Does it take a chance

1283
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: on me? I almost did. No, I almost did. Uh,

1284
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 1: it was, it was, it was. It was very close.

1285
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: So Jordy gets a C grade here, and actually like

1286
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: a little more than a C grade, but I don't

1287
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: quite have the stones to put him up as Randall

1288
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Cobb also a C grade. Buccaneers have only a lot

1289
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: one touchdown to a slot receiver, but they've yielded a

1290
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: big yardage too. Good slot receivers like Adam Theeland and

1291
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Danny Ammondola and Larry Fitzgerald and Jarvis Landry and Mohamed

1292
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Sanu who together averaged ninety four yards, And so if

1293
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: Randall Cobing get close to ninety four yards, he's certainly startable.

1294
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: And he's got a C grade as well. Running Back

1295
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams a B grade, averaging twenty carries per game

1296
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks and average the average line

1297
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: for runners with at least nineteen carries against Tampa hundred

1298
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: five yards and almost two touchdowns per game, and he's

1299
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: averaging twenty, so he's in that wheelhouse. Williams hasn't been explosive,

1300
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: but he should be able to grind out plenty of

1301
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in this matchup. Brian Rams take on the

1302
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Cardinals in this matchup. I've gotten lots and lots of

1303
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: questions about Cooper Cup and I think it sounds very promising.

1304
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: What do you think about per Cup this week? Yeah,

1305
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: I got an a on a Cup. I saw more

1306
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: than of LA's target share last week with Robert Woods

1307
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: out who will miss this game as well. And as

1308
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned before, the Cardinals allowed the fourth most PPR

1309
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: points where game to slot receivers, So I like couple lot,

1310
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: don't like Watkins as much because I presume he'll draw

1311
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: the majority of pet Pete's coverage, So he's on the

1312
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: bench for me. And Josh Reynolds was a kind of

1313
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: a you know, a trendy little play last week, maybe

1314
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: a good diosty ad, but two cute to a play

1315
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: at this time for me, he's on the bench, um

1316
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,560
Speaker 1: and and Jared Goff gets a b if Ryan Fitzpatrick

1317
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: could throw for a fitz hat trick against the Cardinals,

1318
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and Tom Savage can throw two touchdowns. I'm giving a

1319
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: Goff a pretty strong grade here. Let's just give him

1320
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: an A and Todd Gurley obvious a hundred and fifty

1321
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: four combo yards and a touchdown when these teams meant

1322
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: in weeks seven. Over to the Cardinal side, it's a

1323
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: little a little ugly here. Adrian Peterson, Uh, he's I

1324
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna play. I don't think it's gonna

1325
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: matter he is, you think so? I heard he's playing.

1326
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: And Kirwin Williams is supposed to play now, which puts

1327
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,879
Speaker 1: d J. Foster out of take a answer me territory.

1328
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Scott Fish is shedding a tear and shaking his fist

1329
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: at me. I'm sure, but I didn't get Peterson A No,

1330
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on the bench. He's only gonna

1331
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: be viable if they keep this game close. I don't

1332
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: think they will, so I just got him on the bench,

1333
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: even though the Rams are allowing four point seven yards

1334
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: per carry, but I expect him to fall behind, so

1335
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: that puts Peterson out of play. Larry Fitzgerald gets a B.

1336
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: The Rams have given up seventy yards or a touchdown

1337
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: to three of the last four slot receivers they faced,

1338
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: and he has great history against the Rams. And now

1339
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: let's talk about Ricky Seals Jones. Yeah, let's talk about

1340
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals. This is going to go one of two ways. Yeah,

1341
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: more ridiculousness or a flamethrower of reality blasting us all

1342
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: on the face. Who are gonna start Ricky Seals Jones

1343
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: in this match? Who has in two games six yards

1344
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns on seven catches, And the Rams have

1345
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: all had six catches and sixty seven yards per game

1346
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: over the last three to tight end. So Ricky Seals

1347
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Jones sails good? Doesn't It should be more than a See? Really,

1348
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: I'm starting him over t Y Hilton. I don't blame you. Uh.

1349
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: And then Blaine Gabbert. Uh, he was also take a

1350
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: chance of me candidate, but no, he's on the bench

1351
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: from me. The Rams have allowed multiple passing touchdowns just

1352
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: three times this year, and it's not gonna be the

1353
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: fourth time against Blaine Gabbert. No, I don't believe it

1354
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: will be. Well, take a break when we come back.

1355
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Bengals, Ben Roethlisberger on the road.

1356
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: That means nothing's totally safe. We'll tell you what to

1357
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:29,839
Speaker 1: expect when we come back. Your distinct Fantasy Football Weekly

1364
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: Brent Roethlisberger's on the road, we know the bit. It's

1365
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: about seventy fewer passing yards and too fewer touchdowns, down

1366
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to an average of one touchdown pass per road game

1367
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: over the last three years. What do you think about

1368
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: this passing game? Matchup for the Steelers. Yeah, I only

1369
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: gave Big Ben a C grade. In six games versus

1370
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati since the beginning of the season, Ben has not

1371
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: topped three hundred yards and thrown multiple touchdown passes only

1372
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: in two games, so to four and two in the

1373
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: earlier matchup. This season, however, the Steelers have won seven

1374
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: of their last eight games against since and scored twenty

1375
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: four or more points in all but two of those games.

1376
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: But since he hasn't allowed a three hundred yard passers

1377
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: since Week three and has held opposing quarterbacks to one

1378
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: or less touchdowns in four straight games. That's why Big

1379
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Big Ben gets a seem his receivers. I have Juju Smith, Schuster,

1380
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: and Martevis Bryant on the bench. Juju, it looks like

1381
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna go, but he's still a little tricky with

1382
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,679
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. If he doesn't, I guess you could

1383
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 1: make the case for Bryant as a C. But the

1384
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: Bengals have only allowed two wide receiver touch downs in

1385
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,560
Speaker 1: the last five games. It's worth noting that both Antonio

1386
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Brown and Juju scored in the first meeting. Let's talk

1387
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: about Antonio Brown, who his his status is a little

1388
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: dicey suddenly right toe injury, didn't practice Friday, didn't practice today.

1389
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: It's a Monday night. Can the Monday night. So if

1390
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: you've got Antonio Brown right now, you've you need to

1391
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: be taking action in the event that he's a late scratch.

1392
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: And my recommendation is go drop somebody for Brandon LaFell

1393
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: so in that same game, so that if if Brown

1394
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: is a late scratch, You've got lafel that you could

1395
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: insert into your lineup and at least you've got a

1396
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver. In the weird event that Martevis Bryant

1397
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 1: is available in your league, I think I'd rather go hit,

1398
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 1: but I think I think lafel is I'm assuming Bryant's

1399
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: less available, but that I would probably agree with that.

1400
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: UM so I got. I still have Brown as an

1401
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: A if he goes UM It is worth noting that

1402
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: he hasn't scored in five four of his last five

1403
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: games against the Bengals, but he still puts up good

1404
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: numbers and Levy on all I have as an A

1405
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: grade as well. Also, he hasn't scored in his in

1406
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: four straight matchups with the Bengals, but he gets a

1407
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of yards too over on these since he side.

1408
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 1: A J. Green's getting an A grade despite being held

1409
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: to three catches for forty one and two catches for

1410
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: forty eight in the last two games against Pittsburgh. Green

1411
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: has scored in four of the five prior matchups with

1412
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers in top seventy yards and all of them,

1413
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: and the Steelers have allowed big wide receiver days in

1414
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 1: each of the last four games. Marvin Jones had six

1415
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,799
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and twenty eight yards. Chester Rogers

1416
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: had six for one oh four and a touchdown, Richard

1417
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: Matthews five for one thirteen in a touch Davante Adams

1418
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: five for eighty two and a touchdown. A J. Green

1419
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: still an A. Andy Dalton his quarterback, He's getting a

1420
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: C grade. Since the beginning of the season, Dalton has

1421
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: topped three hundred yards in one of the five games

1422
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh and only thrown for four total touchdowns in

1423
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: those five games. He did have two touchdown throws in

1424
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: the earlier meeting this season, but only a hundred forty

1425
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: yards in the process. So if you think the Steelers

1426
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: defense was exposed a little bit last week, you're partially right.

1427
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,799
Speaker 1: Each of the last five quarterbacks to face the Steelers

1428
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: have either thrown for three hundred or more yards or

1429
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: multiple scores, but none of them have done both. So

1430
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: it's either going to be a high yardage or a

1431
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: multiple score game for Dalton. I would bet it's like

1432
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: two and two, that kind of thing. Probably Dalton right there,

1433
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: does Joe Mixon. He's the only other guy in the

1434
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Bengals that I think we need to mention. He gets

1435
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: a C grade. Prior to the Jamal Williams outburst last week,

1436
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers defense had held running backs in check. No

1437
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: running back had topped fifty four yards on the ground

1438
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: or scored against Pittsburgh since Week five. That includes holding

1439
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Joe Mix into seven carries for forty eight yards in

1440
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the prior meeting this year. But it was seven carries

1441
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: for forty eight yards. That's almost seven yards carry. So

1442
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 1: they can get Mixon involved. He can be he can

1443
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: be a threat, but they gotta get him involved. Uh,

1444
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Giants take on the Raiders. I think this is the

1445
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Maybe it's not. No it Eagle Seahawks. Alright,

1446
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: Giants take on the Raiders. Uh, let's let's go to

1447
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: the Giant side. You know the deal to quarterback situation.

1448
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Sterling Shepherd. I've got a C grade

1449
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: on him in part because the Raiders secondary has given

1450
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: up four touchdowns to slot receivers in the last five games.

1451
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: If this or Eli Manning game will be talking about

1452
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is maybe an A grade here. You just

1453
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: said drop him negative negatively. Obviously, the dark Lord of

1454
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Warren Burners is gonna be sprang two operas in his

1455
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: general direction. I don't know if he didn't even get

1456
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: the ball to have we even mentioned his name. We

1457
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: don't mention the dark Lord ye whose name will not

1458
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: be mentioned, that he's the Voldemort. That's right. Uh. Evan

1459
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: Ingram gets a C grade. He had built a nice

1460
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: rapport with Eli Manning, but it's safe to say that

1461
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: that rolls on far shakier grounds now with he who

1462
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: will not be named at the Helm. The Raiders have

1463
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: been inconsistent against tight ends, allowing huge games to Delaney Walker,

1464
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Verna Davis, A J. Derby, Hundrey Henry, but then they

1465
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 1: contain elite receivers like Travis Kelsey, Rob Gronkowski. Go figure

1466
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: C grade on Evan Angram. C grade in Orleans dark Wall,

1467
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: They'll try to run the ball as much as they can.

1468
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: The Raiders rank twelve against the run. They've improved the

1469
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: last three weeks, not allowing any runner to top seventy yards,

1470
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: but part of that's just because teams have just been

1471
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: passing through them. So I think you can still run

1472
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 1: a bit on the Raiders, and I kind of like dark. Well,

1473
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: here is the C grade. Let's go to the Oakland side.

1474
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: No Michael Crabtree, Noahmari Cooper Man Do I love Jared Cook?

1475
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: My number one tight end for this week? He faces

1476
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 1: a Giant's defense that ranks thirty and tight end yards

1477
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: allowed and have allowed a tight end to score or

1478
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: top one hundred yards in every game. Until last week,

1479
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: he had been targeted at least five times in every

1480
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: game but one. He has been targeted at least five

1481
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: times in every game but one, and he's going to

1482
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: be the number one passing option Jared Cook with Cooper

1483
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: and Crabtree out, Cordarrell Patterson was that it might take

1484
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: a chance of me wide receiver. Let's saw Derek carr

1485
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: Uh even without crab Tree and Cooper. I still like

1486
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: him because I like Cook, and I like Patterson and

1487
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: maybe even Johnny Holton chips in a little something here.

1488
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: You got any Seth Roberts steam I don't like Seth Roberts,

1489
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: and he's got because he's got the one tough matchup

1490
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: that's still on the board because he gets Dominic Rogers

1491
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Cromarty in the slot. I'd rather actually throw darts at

1492
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: Johnny Holton. Giants rank twenty nine and passing yards allowed

1493
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: in every quarterback, but Alex Smith has thrown for at

1494
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: least one touchdown against the Giants. Seven opposing quarterbacks thrown

1495
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns, and I think Car's gonna get to here.

1496
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Giants just did they officially I are Genorius Jenkins? Yet

1497
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: yes they are Generics Jenkins. He's done for the year.

1498
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: That helps dere Car as well. Finally, let's talk Marshawn Lynch.

1499
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: He's having an absolute resurgence since his suspension. He's now

1500
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: scored three touchdowns in the last three games. He's coming

1501
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: off a season high one hundred eleven total yards, and

1502
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: now he gets a Giants defense that's allowed the fourth

1503
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: most rushing yards to backs, including one hundred thirty total

1504
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 1: yards to a similar power back, som J. P Ryan

1505
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: just list week, his usage could hit a season high.

1506
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I will predict it. Will I believe Marshall

1507
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: Lynch will get a season high in touches this week.

1508
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: With Crabtree and Cooper out B grade for Marshawn Lynch,

1509
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: what about backup tight end Lee Smith for the Raiders,

1510
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule I would not rule that out. I

1511
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't either. Uh. The final matchup before lightning round Eagles

1512
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: taking on the Seahawks. Brian, I'm not terribly worried about

1513
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: what the Seahawks are gonna do to Carson Wentz. He

1514
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: remains my number three overall quarterback this week. You know

1515
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman or Cam Chancellor. Carson Wentz gets an a,

1516
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: has account for three yards and or multiple touchdowns and

1517
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: four road games this year. He's He'll be money on

1518
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night, as should al Sean Jeffrey gonna give

1519
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: him an a five touchdowns in the last four games

1520
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: as mentioned, No Sherman, no Chancellor. He'll see a lot

1521
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,560
Speaker 1: of Byron Maxwell, who uh is mediocre at best. I

1522
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: am putting in Nelson Alga on the bench. Jeremy Lane

1523
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: failed his physical in the Dwaynton Brown trade, so he's

1524
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: backmanning the slot for Seattle, and he's more than competent,

1525
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: So I don't like Agila in this matchup. Uh do

1526
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: love Zack Urts, though Seahawks owned bottom ten rankings and

1527
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: catches targets and yards to opposing tight ends, so Earth's

1528
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: gets an easy A. And the running backs this is

1529
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: a three way you want no part of, so I

1530
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: have them all on the bench. Seattle still boast top

1531
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: ten rankings and rushing attempts to rushing yards allowed in

1532
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: yards per carry, So uh, don't don't go anywhere in

1533
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: the Philly backfield. You know, we get plenty of things wrong,

1534
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: but when that a giant trade went down, we nailed

1535
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: the fact that this thing was gonna be a cluster

1536
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 1: boink with too many guys and not enough balls to

1537
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 1: go around. And one guy is gonna be one guy

1538
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: is gonna probably have a good game, and good luck

1539
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: guessing who that's gonna be. And that's what we've got now.

1540
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: Fourteen year old Matt Said says, cluster blink with too

1541
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 1: many guys and too few balls. A lot of talk here.

1542
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Seattle. Russell Wilson gonna give him

1543
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: an a even though over the last five weeks, Philly

1544
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: has allowed the fewest passing yards at just one sixty

1545
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: six per game, but the last four quarterbacks they face

1546
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: were CJ. Be Third, brock Oswiler, Black Prescott, and Mitch Drubisky.

1547
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Uh Philly is also allowing thirty nine pass attempts per game,

1548
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: the most in the league, and the two true mobile

1549
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced had great games on the ground. Cam

1550
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: had seventy one and a touchdown and Beth Third had four. Well,

1551
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: that's not a great game for Beth Third, but forty

1552
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: yards on six carries. Wilson should do some damage on

1553
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the ground as well. Doug Baldwin probably not gonna do

1554
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: a ton of damage against. Pro Football focuses number two

1555
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: ranked coverage cornerback Patrick Robinson. That's why I have to

1556
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: see on him. I have Paul Richardson on the bench.

1557
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Philly has an allowed a receiver to go over seventy

1558
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: yards in their last five games and has just given

1559
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: up one touchdown during that span. But Jimmy Graham old man,

1560
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: as he getting in a I don't care who he's playing,

1561
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: get this. He has twelve targets from the five yard

1562
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: line in they're only thirteen wide receivers with at least

1563
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 1: twelve targets from the twenty yard line and in and

1564
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers not on that list. Uh A J Green, Alshon,

1565
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jordy Nelson, de Marius Thomas, Amari Cooper, t Y Hilton.

1566
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: All guys who are struggling, by the way, think about

1567
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: the value got in draft day of Jimmy Graham. He's

1568
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: been unreal and uh. Over the run game, I got

1569
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: Mike Davis and Eddie Lacy on the bench. Philly is

1570
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: ranked third against the run, and these two should split

1571
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: carries and concede third downwork to J. D. McKissick, who

1572
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: I will get a C minus and PPR if you're

1573
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: very desperate fish to use him as a take on

1574
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: last week. I used him the week before. He had

1575
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: double digit PPR points both weeks. He could do it again.

1576
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: Philly is top ten in most targets seen by opposing

1577
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: running backs and has allowed the second most receiving touchdowns

1578
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: to the position as well. It's time for lightning round.

1579
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: You know the rules. One question between two guys. They

1580
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: listen to your question, we hang up on you. You

1581
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: listen to the response on the delay feed on your radio.

1582
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: That's how it works. We love that. Uh, let's get

1583
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: to the phones. Many people nice enough to hold for

1584
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: a very long time, including Brandon. Hello, Brandon, he another

1585
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: going good? Thank you? UM So, I have half point

1586
01:22:55,000 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: PPR and I'm wondering them between Golden tape and um

1587
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: Nelson iglor right, Golden Tate by a hair for me. David,

1588
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: you're next, Hello, David, You're up? Hello? Hello, Hello David.

1589
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: I have a whole point PPR and a flexed position,

1590
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and I'm looking between Cooper Cup and Marvin Jones. It's

1591
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 1: cut by a long chat. We don't know. In fact,

1592
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones got a bench grade for me and this

1593
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: one in Cooper Cup got an A grade from Brian Jason.

1594
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: You're next, they guys, Um, I need uh an option

1595
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:45,759
Speaker 1: between Derek Carr and Brett Unley. Car Hunley to be grades.

1596
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 1: I had both of those matchups, gave him both B grades.

1597
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: If I would go with the one, you have a

1598
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: pairing with the wide receiver a fossil, But man, I

1599
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: don't know I would go I would. Here's here's why, Yeah,

1600
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 1: I'd go Hunley. Here's why there's a chance of Marshall.

1601
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: Lynch simply runs this team to victory. And I don't

1602
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: think there's not enough receivers for car right now either.

1603
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the bit right there. Wait, you're next. Hey,

1604
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Guys? Good? Thank you? One point

1605
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: ptr flex. I'm looking at Kareem Hunter or Robbie Anderson. Ah,

1606
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: it's tough. I Robbie and A. Yeah. I think I

1607
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,799
Speaker 1: gotta go Robbie ride the hot hand right now. Kareem

1608
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Hunt is not hot. Tyler your next? Hey, guys, I

1609
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: got Mariota or Alex? All right? Is that Mary or

1610
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: or Alex Smith? Even though Smith is my take on,

1611
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: I gotta go Mariota in that matchup. It's not close. Peter,

1612
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:41,839
Speaker 1: you're next, Yeah, thanks, Alex Collins, cream Hunt standard scoring?

1613
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: Oh man? You like Collins? I do like Collins. I mean,

1614
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: if it's standards scoring and we're really just playing for

1615
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown and yards, yeah, I I I'd actually play

1616
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: Collins over Hunt. I hate to say that because I

1617
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I love Hunt so much. Kendrick West is nificant, but yeah,

1618
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: if it's standard Grover your next? Good morning, guys, uh

1619
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: tpr Evans or Marquis Lee. I'm still going Evans, Yeah,

1620
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: for sure. Mike you're next, Mike, Hey, are you good?

1621
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: Thank you? Flex I got Larry Fitzgerald or um um

1622
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: dang at the Carlos hide. Yeah, I'd probably go hide here.

1623
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who had that matchup. It's just kind

1624
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: of a safe play, but his ceiling is pretty cap

1625
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: tied to top off on any given day. Ben, you're next, Ben, Hey, guys,

1626
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: standard scoring Mohamed Sir John Gordon. I've got bench grades

1627
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: on both guys, but I'm I'll take one of them

1628
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 1: has the reigning m v P as this quarterback. The

1629
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: other one has Deshan Kaiser. You know what the new

1630
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: might be like the eight best quarterback in the league

1631
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: as well. We've seen him throw some passes recently well, yeah,

1632
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: like last week when he threw a touchdown. Maybe that's

1633
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 1: going to be the angle you should go at. Bruce

1634
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Ellington right now. Yeah, Steve, you're next, Hey, guys, scoring

1635
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: Lewis more workday. It was Dion Lewis or Burkhead. It's

1636
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:23,440
Speaker 1: standard scoring and that that means that kind of neutralizes

1637
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 1: Burkehead's pass catching angle on this. I had both B

1638
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: grades on both of them, but Burkehead got the two

1639
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week last week, but Lewis has had way

1640
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: more carries. So let's go Lewis freend zone. I would Steve,

1641
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: I think you're next? Or was that just your question?

1642
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: That was your question? I think I'm on Mark, Mark

1643
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: You're next. Yeah, I'll go curse. I gave him a

1644
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 1: b I like that matchup. Neither he or Anderson should

1645
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 1: see a ton of Marcus Peters. They move around a lot.

1646
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, Mike, you are next, alright, scoring Marcus

1647
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Goodwood or Tedgan Jr. Oh boy, the matchup screams Goodwin.

1648
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take good revenge game though, I'm gonna I'm

1649
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 1: gonna take Goodwin in this one. Bear secondary is going

1650
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: the wrong way and they've got injury problems in with

1651
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,839
Speaker 1: their safeties, and here it comes. You're maybe the biggest

1652
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: deep speed threat in the league. Marquis Goodwin. It's gonna

1653
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: be Marquis better win this week. Mike, you're next, standard

1654
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: scoring Hunter, Henry or Golden Fete. For a second, I

1655
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: thought he was putting in hunt or Henry. I'll do

1656
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry. Yeah yeah, Bob your next, Matt Ryan or Huntley.

1657
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: All Right, man. Hunley is just on everyone's mind, like

1658
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,719
Speaker 1: starting him over somebody. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Hunley,

1659
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know. David Rhodes, don't do me wrong.
