We're gonna have a 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:50.680 veteran rest day. 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:51.360 Yeah, exactly. 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.880 Yeah, that's that's the plan for the rest of your starters. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.360 It's a it's a good position to be in Thornights 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.480 from will join us in a couple of minutes, Matt. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:05.919 If you are down, say fifty points to. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.360 Jamorrow, I think on Guillotine Leagues he scored fifty five 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:09.160 point four. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.360 Yes, he did fifty five. You're already set. One of 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.120 the teams in my league had the Burrow Chase combo. Yeah, 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:17.960 I saw that eighty five. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.119 Ye, now you're good. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.560 Yeah, they're set. There's probably there's probably no way you're 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.080 gonna make up the difference. No, but if there's a 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.880 way you're gonna do it, what do you do? 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.200 I mean, it's hero ball. We talk about this all 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.720 the time. When somebody has just like a huge Thursday 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.720 night game, you take the highest risk, highest reward guys 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.080 that you can find, and you just hope that somebody 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.640 mimics it and gets you know, one hundred and two 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.080 and you get another wide receiver that does the same thing. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.800 Yeah, so you know you're gonna go combo platter of 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.560 quarterback with a receiver, and you might even have to 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.000 go waiver wire. It might be like, might take a 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.840 chance on me quarterback who's probably available. Yeah, maybe one 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.840 of his receivers as well, and hope to God that 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.040 they hook up three times. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.480 Well, I have a guy in this upcoming matchup that 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.880 I think might be a guy that is just like 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.799 the longest of long shots, and I wouldn't recommend starting 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.080 him in any other scenario, but maybe if you're playing 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:16.680 Jamar Chase. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.400 All right, well, let's hear all about it is San 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.080 Francisco taking on Tampa Bay. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.000 No, it's the Lions and the Texans. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.160 It's I mean by that event, it's the Lions. Of course, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.000 it's the Lions and the Texans. Yeah, of course it is. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:29.760 That's what I meant. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.839 Lots of Lion opportunities here, But how many Lions could 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:34.960 I possibly pick up? 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.760 Not that many. Let's start with the passing game in 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.800 Jared Goff My concern. He hasn't had more than twenty 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.359 five passing attempts in a game since Week two, and 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.000 he's had yardage totals of eighty five and one hundred 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.800 and forty five yards the last two weeks. The Texans 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.480 defense fits exactly what Jared Goff does, though they've allowed 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.920 the sixth fewest completions the seventh fewest passing yards, but 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.679 that doesn't scare Goff because they've allowed the second most 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.960 pass scores perfect, which is what Goff does. So he 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.600 gets a B because he'll probably throw at least two 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.800 touchdowns in this one. One of them will go to 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.520 a Monross Saint Brown, who also gets a bee. But 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.240 like I said, the lines just aren't passing. Saint Brown 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.560 is only averaged running twenty two routes per game over 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.880 the last five weeks and just five point four targets 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.680 per game in that span. Good news is Saint Brown 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.480 has caught a touchdown pass in six straight games, But 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.320 there's a stinker game coming soon for him just because 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.000 of the low volume, and that low volume basically kills 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.440 everybody else, like Jamison Williams, Tim Patrick, Khalif Raymond, especially 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.840 now that Williams is back. Yeah, And it's kind of 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.920 the same thing with Sam Laporta, and we're going to 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.320 talk a little bit more about him later in the show. Correct, 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.760 he's catching everything, but there's no targets. He's only averaging 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.280 three point two targets per game this season, and the 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.800 Texans are one of the league's best tight end defenses, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.600 allowing only two point six catches and twenty yards per 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.440 game to the position. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:57.880 Total. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.000 I've got Laporta on the bench this week. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.119 I can understand it. Get you want to you how many 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.000 targets Sam Laporta had last year. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.800 A lot more than three point two per game. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.920 One hundred and forty. 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.200 Yeah, so I say like eight or nine targets per game. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.160 It's cut in half. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.080 Yeah, well, you know, and we will talk more about 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:14.840 Laporta later on. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.400 Yeah, Jimi or Gibbs and David Montgomery both A grades 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.240 though they're basically splitting snaps. But get this, every single 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.240 week of the season, all eight of Detroit's games, both 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.440 of them have hit double digit PPR points. Wow every game. Wow, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.640 it's amazing. The Texans look good on paper against the run, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.240 but those numbers are propped up by some games against 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.200 some run offenses that either hadn't found their groove yet 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.039 or still haven't found one in the Bears, the Jags, 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.719 and the Patriots, So I got them A grades for 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.360 both of those guys. Joe Mixon gets a B grade. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.400 If the Texans hope to win this game, I think 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520 it's probably because they've fed mixing the ball about thirty times. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.400 They have to keep the score close and beat one 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.520 of the best run defenses in the league. The Lions 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.960 are third best in the league in conbo yards allow 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.839 at one hundred and five per game. But I think 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.680 Mixon gets all of that by himself, so he almost 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.279 always does. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:06.640 Yes. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.520 CJ. Stroud gets a C grade. I'm worried about the 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.760 offensive line. Eight sacks last week. Yes, god seven other 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:19.160 scramble plays. That's fifteen alone lot out of forty five dropbacks. 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.520 A third of the time he's either getting hit or 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.440 running for his life. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:22.760 Yep. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.480 The pressure led to only a thirty seven percent completion 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:28.520 percentage last week. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.440 That's horrible. And you'll remember two weeks before that, CJ. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.640 Stroud had an eighty seven yard game against the Packers 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.240 and Nico Collins, though, may play in this game, and 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.560 how much does that change your thinking on. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.880 Stret It doesn't look like Collins is going to go, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.920 but I think the Lions are going to pin their 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.160 ears back in blitz a ton, so I'm not enthusiastic 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.160 about the Lions and only allowing six passing touchdowns through 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.920 eight games, so just the sea for Stroud take Dell 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.320 will get the ball a lot. I got a B 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.440 grade on him. His matchups against Terry and Arnold Amik 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.720 Robertson both very good. He saw one hundred and thirty 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.080 one air yards last week and a utilization score of 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.000 eight point five. Because he's only the real he's like 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.960 the only guy in town. Basically, Nico Collins still looks 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.600 like he's a week from week away from returning. They 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.800 still have him on IR He hasn't practiced and they 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.920 just oh they did. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.359 Okay, So I mean that doesn't mean they need to 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:24.800 play him. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.640 So it's a Sunday night game. The problem is you 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.440 have to really gamble on Nico Collins to play, and 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.920 I don't really like the matchup all that much either way. However, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:41.040 if you're desperate for the Jamar Chase Chaser, yes, I 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.719 think I'd go with Xavier Hutchinson wow, because the Lions 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.599 do give up some big chunk plays deep and Hutchinson 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.680 saw an average depth of target of nineteen yards in 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.000 Week eight and thirty two yards in Week nine. They're 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.120 using him as the long bomb throw. I wouldn't necessarily 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.680 start him, but if you went against Chase and you're 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.560 just toast, Xavier Hutchinson's a guy you could turn to, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.520 and then Dalton Schultz is the last guy I'll mention. 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:07.640 Do we have to? 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.960 I mean we do. The Texans were one of the 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.640 best tight end defenses in the league, like I said before, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.000 but the other one is Detroit. The Lions are only 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.520 allowing three point six catches for thirty yards per game 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.360 to the tight end position. They've only allowed one tight 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.640 end touchdown this year. Dalton's on the bench. 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.040 Too, he is. Broncos are taking on the Chiefs. Get this, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:31.200 it's week ten. This is the first early game of 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.240 the Chiefs year on Sunday. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.080 That's how wow. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.160 You know it's all Jets, all Chiefs all the time 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.080 on national games. Yeah, late games, Yeah, absolutely, I can 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.000 understand why with the Chiefs a little better. Let's go 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.920 to the Denver side here, and I'm gonna start with 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.800 Javonte Williams, who's firmly on the bench. Struggled last week 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.840 in a tough matchup. This is a worse matchup against 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.400 a better run defense. Chiefs rank number one in rushing 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.800 yards allowed at fifty per game. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.280 No, and you think like, oh, the Chiefs, they've been 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.680 up by so much that everybody's passing on them. Not really, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.840 they haven't been blowing anybody out a. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.840 Lot of close games. No backs top fifty eight yards 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.160 against the Chiefs all year. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:13.600 Wow. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.000 And six of the past seven lead runners against the 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.960 Chiefs haven't topped thirty four yards. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.720 Dude, Spags has that defense just he's so good? 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.040 Sean Payton says he wants to get Audric estimate more 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.360 reps as well. So that doesn't bode well for Javonte Williams. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.240 He it's a little early for the sabotage to rop, 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.200 but I'm not saying you shouldn't do it here. All right, 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.280 let's go to the passing game. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.000 But you could trade Javonte Williams if people are interested 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.160 in running back right now. Yeah, so he's had record, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.600 Yeah right, a chance to get out of that. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.520 All right, let's go to the passing game. I want 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.880 to start with Bo Nicks, who has been an all 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.800 or nothing fantasy producer so far, and this looks like 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.360 a dangerous game more likely to be nothing to me. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.959 Kansas City's a good secondary. No quarterback has topped two 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.160 two hundred and twelve passing yards and five straight matchups. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.400 Now, so you would say, ixnay on the knock. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.320 I like it, nix nay on the nick nay. Fortunately, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.400 every opposing quarterback has scored a touchdown one way or another, 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.640 and Kansas City's given up a couple of decent quarterback 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.880 rushing games. So I've got a see grade on Nicks, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.959 mostly for his legs. I don't think he tops more 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.600 than one passing touchdown in this game. The one receiver 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.640 you care about. For denver Is Courtland, Sutton also comes 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.840 out of the C grade heavily use the past two 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.599 games twenty one targets me fifteen receptions two hundred and 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.400 twenty two yards. But those two games where he's been 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.400 good the last couple of weeks have come up against 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.319 bottom ranked pass defenses Baltimore and Carolina. By the way, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.480 seven Baltimore just gets shelled every week, is weird. This 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.320 is a far sterner matchup, especially if Sutton hooks up 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.760 with excellent cornerback Trent McDuffie, who could very well shadow him, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.000 because why not take Crowton Sutton away and make. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.640 Hum deshun Vley or will Jordan I don't free. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.199 Free beat you. That's right. McDuffie often travels with opposing 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.560 number one wideouts. That could be a problem here. McDuffie 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:11.160 allows he allowed a one yard touchdown last week, but 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.839 that was his first touchdown allowed of the year and 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.840 it was only from one yard. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.600 Really, that's just a one yard reception. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.880 Yeah, it happens to be in the end zone. On average, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.040 McDuffie gives up two and a half catches twenty three 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.800 yards per game. Here's your weird dart throw of the day, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.719 Adam Troutman. It takes a lot for Adam Troutman to 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.720 hit the board of the letter grade or even get 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.079 discussed on this show. But the Kansas City defense is 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.600 a rare opportunity starting because Kansasy's awful against tight ends. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.400 They ranked dead last against tight ends and receptions allowed, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.560 yards allowed. Half the opposing tight ends that they've faced 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.400 have top seventy seven yards, and that includes It's a 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.160 bold strategy. Last we're back to Cott. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.320 So where Adam Troutman in Sam Laporta dons come to 0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.800 what is going on actly? 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.760 Let's go to the Kansas City side. I loved lots 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.320 of Chiefs last week. I'm down on many more of 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.719 them this week. Let's start with Kareem Hunt, who's been 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.720 a very good fantasy back but not such a good 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.840 reality back. It's his volume that's made him fantasy relevant. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.680 He hasn't topped three point nine yards per carry in 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.280 a month. That's three point nins bad. He hasn't been 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.000 over that in a month. And Denver is a good 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.200 run defense, not great, but they're good if you throw 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.520 out Derrick Henry running all over the Broncos because he 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.960 does that to pretty much everybody. The Broncos have held 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:38.520 opposing top runners to forty one rushing yards per game 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.920 and zero point one rushing touchdowns per game. Kareem Hunt 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.320 only a b Let's go to the passing game. Travis 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.520 Kelcey love the high usage since the Rashit Rice injury, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.679 but this is his trickiest matchup since then. Over the 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.560 last month, Denver has held every opposing tight end to 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.679 thirty eight yards or less. None have scored. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:58.400 Now. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.520 Most commonly, Denver uses safety Randon Jones to cover tight ends, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.480 and he's great. He his Pro Football Focus is fifth 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.760 highest ranked safety in coverage. Get this, Matt. He's allowing 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.160 nine yards per game in his coverage. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.120 Nine times, nine times. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:19.680 Nine yards, Yes, nine yards. DeAndre Hopkins was awesome last week, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.760 but it was the perfect storm last week against a 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.200 bad Tennessee defense, Matt that was also missing Jamel Dean 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.080 as one of their starting cornerbacks, and there was no 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.440 Jujusmith shoes. I mean, everything worked out his way. Juju 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.439 won't play this one either. Here you flip it over 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.840 to the other side. He's gonna draw Patrick Sirtan. That 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.559 is a brutal matchup, maybe the hardest individual matchup in 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:46.200 the NFL. Last week, the Ravens did not throw a 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.960 single pass to Patrick Surtan's coverage. And if Patrick Sutan's 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.079 going to be on DeAndre Hopkins and they similarly shy away, 0:12:55.120 --> 0:13:00.400 that doesn't leave Hopkins with much. Now, the Ravens last week, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.160 we're able to get Zay Flowers to a big game 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.840 against the Broncos because they moved Jay Flowers into the slot, 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.240 and maybe, especially with Juju Oup, maybe they'll do that 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.120 with DeAndre Hopkins. We'll move him to the slot, and yeah, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.800 he could have some success there. And that's the only 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.600 reason he's got a C grade. Xavier Worthy comes into 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.480 the C grade coming off his highest utilization game of 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.240 the year, and since Sir Tan is going to be 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.160 on Hopkins, that puts Xavier Worthy on Riley Moss a 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.000 lot more. Moss has allowed the eleventh most coverage yards 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.720 and the nineteenth most air yards among all cornerbacks, all right, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.720 and that's critical for the downfield stylings of Xavier Worthy. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.480 So this is every week I'm like, hey, you know, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.520 you know what you're in for here. Zavi Worthy low 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.720 volume it's all risk, it's all reward. This I feel 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.720 is good about Worthy as any game this year. But 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:51.800 he's still only a SE grade. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.400 So if you're Jamar chasing, you go find Xavier Worthy 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.800 see if you can trade for him this week. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.400 That's exactly right. Last guy, and that's Patrick Mahomes. He's 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.720 coming up his best Fantasy game of the year. But again, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.559 everything was perfect against the Bucks. This is a far 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.040 tougher matchup. In two games against Denver last year, Mahomes 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.520 held to zero and one touchdown. Denver's allowing the fifth 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.240 fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks, and as I've already mentioned, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.120 all of his receivers have negative matchups except if you're 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.920 Worthy in this one. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.280 So it sounds like you're hitting the under on this game. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:23.960 I am hitting the under on this game, and I've 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.520 only got a C grade. I'm Patrick Mahomes. When we 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.840 come back, take a chance on me. Nine players not 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.920 normally in your starting lineup. Plus we'll sprinkle in some 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.720 thor Nystrom. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:07.320 You'll be smiling with these. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.040 Take a chance on me players, nine players not normally 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.720 in your starting lineup. Many of these guys available on 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.720 the waiver wire. One and a half of mine are 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.760 on the waiver wire. Matt Harrison, let's start with you. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.400 Who's your take a chance for me quarterback? 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.240 I don't know if this guy's gonna make you smile. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:28.440 I'm sorry, Bryce Young. Wow that guy? 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:33.320 Okay, it was Then Pickens this week, and I stole 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:34.560 the obviously stole. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.160 My You stole my guy. So I I did look 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.920 at this, and I mostly wanted to point out some 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.360 encouraging signs for Bryce Young. His completion percentage has been 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:45.720 solid sixty four percent. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.000 Okay, wait, wait, wait, you're you've offered me an open 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.840 trade involving Bryce Young in our dynasty. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.920 I'm trying to convince you. You trying to exact me exactly. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.680 You've figured it out, You've sussed out charge Young's completion 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.160 percentage solid sixty four percent. Andy Dalton was at sixty six. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.040 Young's yards per attempt have gone up in his second 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.480 go around. It was four point four yards per attempt 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.960 in his early starts. It's up to six point three 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.720 in his last two, and Andy Dalton on the season 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.200 was at six point one. For a little frame of reference, 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.960 Young's average depth the target has gone up as well. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.880 In the last two games. They've started to send him 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.640 on a few designed runs as well, so they're not 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.440 crazy numbers, but there's some steady improvements and his matchup 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.720 against the Giants is a little bit better than Okay, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.440 they're middle of the pack against basically everything, but there's 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.080 two things that go in Young's favor. The Giants have 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.680 only had one interception the whole season, and it was 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.360 week one. It was Sam Darnold in Week one. And 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.480 there's a little bit of an ability to get some 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.320 rushing numbers as a quarterback. Against the Giants, six different 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.680 quarterbacks have had twenty or more rush yards. So if 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.280 they do a couple more designed runs for Bryce Young, 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.720 he and a couple of scramble plays, I think he'll 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.600 be able to cobble together an okay day in Germany. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.200 All right, Thorp, who is to take a chance on 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.920 me quarterback to a Tago Bayla against the Rams. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.840 I don't know why that's so hard for me to say. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.360 Well, his name is hard but since returning in week 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.520 A two has completed eighty percent of help. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.879 If he used his brother's name from was it Maryland. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.679 Or yeah, te Leah turned the ball over as we 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.400 called him all right, yeah but yeah, complete in eighty 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.040 percent of the passes, and a shootout is assuredly coming here. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.920 This game has the third highest total of the week. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.800 Rams defense over the past four games is surrendered the 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.399 second most passing yards per completion, and the Rams have 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.600 allowed multiple touchdown passes in three of those four games. 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.160 So I like two of this week. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.840 I feel badly about taking the obvious choice off the 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.440 board for Matt anthor insert quarterback here against the Panthers. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.400 Yes, my god, don't worry, I'm going to be doing 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:48.919 that later in this segment. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.800 Okay, that would be Daniel Jones. This week, Caroline has 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.600 allowed passing touchdowns in every game. The Lak neighbors healthy 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.760 great matchup individually for him Jones rushing has been all 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:04.520 over the place, but Carolina has faced two good rushing quarterbacks. Recently, 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.800 Bonick scored a touchdown, Jaden Daniels had fifty yards on 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.120 the ground. So one way another Daniel Jones can help 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.040 you this week. Let's go to the running back position. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.040 Man, I'm gonna double dip with both of the Giants 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.680 running backs, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. Tracy still only 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.000 rostered in seventy one percent of leagues, and I didn't 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.080 think he really was take a chance on me eligible, 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.360 but I wanted to note that. Okay, so if you're 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.480 in a casual league, you have to pick him up 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.040 if he's on your waiver. Where Singletary probably the change 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.800 of pace back from here on out, but he's been 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.399 good at that throughout his career. Both are startable against 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.200 the Panthers, who are the worst run defense in football. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.200 Opposing backs as a group are averaging thirty three touches, 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.560 one hundred and sixty nine combo yards, and almost two 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.119 touchdowns per game. All three are the worst marks in 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.280 the league. Fire up your giants runners, all. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.720 Right, thor you're taking chance on me running back. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.480 I'm gonna go with Tyler Eljier against the Saints. Like 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.480 Elgier has gotten forty percent of the red zone rushes 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.520 this season, and this matchup should provide a pro l 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.800 gier game script. The Falcons may and probably will crush 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.240 the injury depleted, reeling Saints, and the Saints are allowing 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.439 one hundred and twenty seven rushing yards per game and 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.639 a league high five point five yards per carry should 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.320 be a lot of touches for Lger in the second 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.040 half of this one. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.879 Also, Tyler l Giers really good, really good, just not 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.760 the play that Bijon is right, Yeah, Jalen Warrens might 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.880 take a chance on me running back. He gets half 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.960 as much work as Najie Harris, but that's enough to 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.879 make him startable against the league's worst run defense. The 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.440 Commanders are allowing the fifth most year. We've already got 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.879 fifth most yards and the most yards per carry. Washington 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.440 ranks thirtieth in defensive run success rate, and we've seen 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.560 two We've seen number two backs get paid against Washington 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.679 throughout the year. We've seen Bucky Irving, Zach Moss, Trey Benson, 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.920 Trey Benson, Rashawn Johnson all with meaningful fantasy games against 0:19:56.040 --> 0:20:00.000 Washington as number two backs. So Jalen Warren and Ills 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.120 sprinkling a couple of receptions here and there help out 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.200
