11
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: because Tony is here as a while Tony normally very

12
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: prompt on the on the delivery of the podcast anyway,

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: but that means people roll out of bed shows ready

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: to go. Today. It's getting cooler, it is getting hard.

15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: It's darker as well. It makes a difference for me.

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I can jump out of bed when it's so when

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: it's bright out at an early hour, but it's it's

18
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot harder. Um a peek into my my, my

19
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: home life that you don't want. Oh God, here it comes.

20
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I recycle paper because I go through a lot of

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: paper like notes for the show, but I don't need, right,

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: so I use them one time. And I have a

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: stack of paper that I used to just recycle and

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: print print future basically garbage on when for things like

25
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: notes for the show. Paul Charchy and tree Hugger. What

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: we're cheap depending on how you look at it, right,

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: And so I got I'm almost to the very bottom

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: what was a very tall stack of recycling, and I've

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: gotten to the I've gotten to the point that I'm

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm printing on the back of my twenty fifteen cheat

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: sheets that I had brought to the fair or something

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I didn't end up getting used, and I brought home

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: to use the backs up blest from the past. Right here,

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it is. Listen to the top ten running

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: backs that was That was early leavy On Bell was

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: number one, Eddie Lacy was number two, Adrian Peterson was

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: number three, Marshawn Lynch, then Jamal Charles, that Matt Forte,

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, DeMarco Murray, Justine No, and Frank Gore Baltimore.

39
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: Just yeah, So now what do you suppose where do

40
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: you suppose I'm headed with this? This is top ten

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: on my chee, which presumably was very close to most people.

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: That was three years ago. And dynasty cycle through those

43
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: running backs, isn't that the truth? How many of them

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: are worth anything now, let alone inside their top ten?

45
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: None if you don't include Levy on Bell, are worth

46
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: our in our top tens anymore. Adrian Peterson is rosterable,

47
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch's roster bolt. I believe so. Some don't, but

48
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I believe he's rosterable. And that's it. So let me

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: ask you this, char Yes, you have Dalvin Cook in

50
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: a dynasty league that we're in. Yes, how many years

51
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: of Dalvin Cook? Do you hang on too before you're like,

52
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: all right, it's time to move? Is it? Is it?

53
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Three years? It is about it? Really? I mean unless

54
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: you have an Adrian Peterson level of talent, you know,

55
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: then an Emmett Smith level of talent a decade the

56
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: rare decade long running back, Yeah you gotta you see yourselves.

57
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Point is about three years into that running backs life interesting.

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Running backs are basically apple products. Yeah, they really are.

59
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: It's a great way to put here's the here's the

60
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers from twenty fifteen. Cheat cheet and Tonio Brown,

61
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: ding Ding, Dez Bryant out, Julio Jones, ding Ding, Odell

62
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Beckham ding Ding, Jordy Nelson out, Randall Cobb functional, Damarus

63
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: Thomas still Usable, A. J. Green ding Ding, Calvin Johnson retired,

64
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. Do you see the point. I'm just glad

65
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: you didn't say anymore. It's it's here, and now people

66
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: are gonna think to themselves, well, there's certainly no allegory

67
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: for do the opposite, because that's just a one year thing.

68
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: But the point is, half of these running backs fail

69
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: in that current year. Some of them wait enough the

70
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: year or two. You know, this is a three year sample,

71
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: but half of the running backs end up failing that

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: in that very same year. The wide receivers never do,

73
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: let's do kickers. Let's plenty to get to over the

74
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,799

84
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's move on to our matchups, beginning

85
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati taking on Carolina. Brian, We're gonna have a

86
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: new running back for the Cincinnati Bengals. He willna Yeah,

87
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Gio Bernard, Yes, Gio Bernard will be the lead back

88
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Um. Since Joe Mixon was drafted last year,

89
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: he's missed four games. In those games, Geo has average

90
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty touches and over a hundred combo yards, so um,

91
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: he'll be in for a lot of work in this game.

92
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Game Caroline has allowed just eight receptions for forty three

93
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: yards running back so far. Uh and their secondaries with

94
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: their weakness not their run defense. So it's not a

95
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: perfect spot for Geo. But he's certainly starvable in this game.

96
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: So he gets a B over the passing game A

97
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: J green and obvious A and I'm gonna give him

98
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: the B C D E F g h I and

99
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: the j He's gonna have that good game in this

100
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: The Panthers have surrender just one touchdown through the air

101
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. But that's actually that's if you actually

102
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: think that, like the Cowboys have actual wide receivers on

103
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: their team, which they don't. One of the teams that

104
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the Panthers have faced, Green is one of seven wide

105
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: receivers but at least target share and James Bradberry and

106
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Dante Jackson do not stand a chance covering him. So

107
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: he's in a great spot, as is Tyler Boyd. I'm

108
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: gonna give him a B and he's a nice play

109
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: on fan ball this week at forty seven dollars. Uh

110
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: charges rolling his eyes at Tyler. Yeah, yeah, I don't.

111
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't see the fascination picked up in all my

112
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: leagues this week. I'm not. We know what Tyler Boyd's

113
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: all about. And it's two good games a year and

114
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: you just had it last week. All right, Well, he's

115
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna be running up against old man Monolin in the

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: who's allowing an eighty percent opposing catch ery six worth

117
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: amongst among all cornerbacks. So I like Vikings got out

118
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: of captain Manroland at the right time, So I'm linking

119
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Boyd this week he gets to the b Tyler Effort.

120
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I can't get to see borderline bench from me though. Um.

121
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: And here's why, Um, the Bengals had allowed I'm sorry.

122
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: The Panthers have allowed to tight end touchdown in four

123
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: of the last seven games. But over the past two seasons,

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: only five opposing tight ends up topped forty yards, and

125
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: guys like zach Ertztrade Burton, George Kittle were held under

126
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: thirty yards. And Effort is healthy, so you attempted to

127
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: play him. But I'm worried about c j uzoma a

128
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: k A. The Oozy uh Oozy played in fifty of

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: the snaps last week, Eyffort played in sixt wuz he

130
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: saw just as many targets and finished finished with more

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: catches and yards and effort, So he's starting to eat

132
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: into Iffort's workload. So yeah, we thought Effort would be

133
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: um one of those guys you could get late in

134
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: your draft and you might get away with something, and

135
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: this would be a plausible start. He's been brutal through

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: two games and and you don't like him in this

137
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: one either. And lastly, for since the UH. Andy Dalton

138
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: gets a b UH. He's looking really good so far

139
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: since Bill Laser took over as O C for since

140
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: about a year ago, Dalton has average two touchdowns per game,

141
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: and this revamped line has made a huge difference. Last year,

142
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Dalton was getting sacks two and a half times the game.

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Has only been sacked once in each game so far

144
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: this year. So he has time to throw and he's

145
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. A note on that line, Billy Price,

146
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's gonna play in this one. So

147
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: they're they're they're trending closer to last year's line in

148
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: this game, So a note of caution there. Fair point,

149
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: fair point. Thomas Davis out for Carolina. By the way,

150
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: that is also helpful for the Bengals. Over to UH.

151
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: The Panthers real quick with Christian McCaffrey gets an A.

152
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Bengals are allowing nine catches per game to running backs.

153
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is fifth among all players and target share percentage,

154
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: garnering thirty four percent of Carolina's targets. Essentially a wide receiver,

155
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: he gets an A in this game, even only it's

156
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: eighteen carries so far. On the season. Devin Functious, I'm

157
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna give a B. William Jackson is a very legit

158
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: corner for the Bengals. He's get to allow over sixty

159
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: yards and coverage, but he's pretty much planted on the

160
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: right side. On the left side, I'm sorry, Funchus runs

161
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: mainly on the left, can run from the slow, so

162
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: move them around to avoid Jackson. I like bunchets in

163
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: this game with a B, and we'll give Cam Newton a.

164
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks to face. The Bengals have top three hundred yards,

165
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: but it's taken fifty three and fifty five passes to

166
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: get there. UH. Newton has totally the hundred rushing yards

167
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: so far, which is more than Melbourne Gordon, David Johnson,

168
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara and mobile quarterbacks

169
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: have had success against since the last year Deshaun Watson

170
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: scored UH, Deshon Kaiser ran in touchdown and Marcus s

171
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Mariota at over fifty one yards, So Cam will do

172
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: be a dual threaten this one. UM. It's shocking how

173
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: few rushing yards the elite rushers have and that's why

174
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: part of why Matt Brida's your number one rushier. Philip

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Lindsay I think is number three in total yards. It's

176
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: um the elite rushers. You've gotten some touchdowns that have

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: bailed us out. Alvin Kamaris scored three times. Todd Gurley

178
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: I think has four touchdowns, but you haven't. You haven't

179
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: gotten the yardage from from your big hit or it's

180
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: that you took at the top of the first round.

181
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dallas taking down the Seattle Seahawks. UM.

182
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: For Dallas, this story, UM is an normally just all

183
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: about Zeke, but it's a shattered and tattered Seattle defense.

184
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: So what do you think about the Dallas passing offense.

185
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: It's a shattered and Dallas passing offense. I didn't need.

186
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: It's the worst part. Did give Dak Prescott a C grade.

187
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: While I don't trust any of Deck's weapons in the

188
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: passing game, the Seahawks did make both case Keenum and

189
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky viable fantasy quarterbacks, and Traubinsky is the more

190
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: mobile of the two. He ended up with five carries

191
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: for twenty four yards against the Hawks, although it's worth

192
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: noting that the last rushing touchdown Seattle allowed to a

193
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: quarterback was Tyrod Taylor in Week nine of two thousand sixteen.

194
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: That was twenty six games ago. That was also twenty

195
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: six defenders ago. Yeah. Man, the Brown's backup quarterback did that. Yeah,

196
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: the Brown's backup totally did that. So Cole Beasley and

197
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: the rest of the passing game is on the bench.

198
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: He's questionable with an ankle injury. Anyway. He only has

199
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: one more target than Ezekiel Elliott, who gets a B.

200
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty touches per game, but it's only a

201
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: BEE because the Seahawks have actually been k against the run,

202
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: only three point seven yards per carrying no rushing touchdowns

203
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: this season. They did give up one through the air.

204
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: But I still like Zeke as a B. On the

205
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks side, there's not a lot to like here either.

206
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: Um Russell Wilson's getting a C grade for me. Dallas's

207
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: past defense is actually legit. They've held Cam and Eli

208
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: to an average of two or twenty yards and only

209
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: one passing touchdown in the two games you can hope

210
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: for Cam's numbers of one six one through the air,

211
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: and fifty eight plus a touchdown on the ground for

212
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: Russell that's extremely specific. Yeah, the ground attack is the

213
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: only reason that Wilson would crack a lineup. But he's

214
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: only had five rushing attempts on the year. He averaged

215
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: six per game last year. They're not running here either.

216
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Uh And so Seattle's allowed allowed a league high twelve

217
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: sacks this year so far, and Doug Baldwin is still

218
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: it's just a mess there. Right now, I am giving

219
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: a C grade to Will dis Lee, though I'm coming

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: around on this Will dis Lee character. He's had five targets,

221
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: he's had three receptions, he's had a touchdown in both

222
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: of the games so far this season, and the Cowboys

223
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: have only given up one passing score this year, and

224
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: it was the Evan Ingraham. So if you're desperate, you

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: can sneak Disley into your lineup with a C minus

226
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: minus grade. The old last rookie tight endre scoring his

227
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: first two games, Golden Gopher Matt Spaith, our own Tom

228
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: deer Burger and ball up. I went to high school

229
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: football game last night. Matt Spaith was inducted into the

230
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame school football game. How about that's all

231
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: coming up space? How how are you donners there? More?

232
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: H Tyler Lockett and Brandon Marshall are on the bench.

233
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: The set of corners held Devin Funchius and O'Dell Beckham

234
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: out of the end zone and under fifty five yards.

235
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: Marshall is in top seventy yards since and the running

236
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: backs are a disaster. You want to stay away from them.

237
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: They are splitting touches four ways right now. Just stay away.

238
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll tell you about green Bay

239
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: and Washington. Is this the game where you dare start

240
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Graham again? Is he is this a roll

241
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: as he? It possible? What do you do about the

242
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: backfield for the Green Bay Packers? Jamal Williams, Aaron Jones

243
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: is back. We'll tell you when we come back. It's

244
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: um I was kind of call it sort of the

245
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: Yanni version, but it's way to upbeat for Johnny, like

246
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: John Tesh. It's not the chipmunks, it's all the matter

247
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: in fact there it's a chance there'll be no chipmunks

248
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: this year. That would have something to do with it.

249
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Tony. Uh. Now you'd have to find the chipmunks,

250
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: and that revolves work and that rules you out. Alright.

251
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: It's two weeks in a row cheap shot number two.

252
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Take a chance to me nine players not normally in

253
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: your starting lineup, many of whom are available off of

254
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. We begin at the quarterback position, and

255
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, all right, you pressured me into this. I'm

256
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: taking Eli Manning at Houston Texans. I pressured you into it.

257
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: How we'll talk about that later. Okay, this will be

258
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: the only take a chance in the quarterback who will

259
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame someday. That is correct,

260
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: But the Texans aren't that good against the past. Rank

261
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: three against them against the past by football outsiders right now.

262
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: They were twenty five last year. Notable games by Eli

263
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: l quarterbacks against Houston last year to Kobe Brissette yards

264
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, Blaine Gabbert, I know they are, and then

265
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles and three last year. You're illuminating his point Church.

266
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: And let's just not forget that Eli does have a

267
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: shaky offensive wine, but he does have Odell Beckham, Sae

268
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, and Evan Ingram, So he's gonna cobble together

269
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: two and two at least in this game. All Right, Matt,

270
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I got Joe Flacco going up against the Broncos. Both

271
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face the Broncos this season have put up

272
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: at least two eight yards. Nine of the last eleven

273
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face the Broncos of top two eighty seven

274
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: of those nine have thrown for multiple scores. Flacco put

275
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: up two thirty six and three and three seventy six

276
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: and two in the first two games of the season.

277
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: That all works together to mean he's gonna get to

278
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: eighty and two in this game. No problem. Ryan Tannehill.

279
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: The six hundred day layoff between starts and what has

280
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: he done? Multiple touchdowns in both games this year? Not

281
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: too bad? Who know, you could have recently thought he

282
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: needed to shake the rust off a little bit or

283
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: knocked the rust off. Apparently not in both of his

284
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: games um and so far multiple touchdowns I mentioned and

285
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: now maybe the most favorable secondary of all of them,

286
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: Oakland at home. No less, and not only is his

287
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: two and two touchdowns impressive. Seventy three completion rate for

288
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. Now, he's not a volume guy, and that

289
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: always worries me. He's you know, passes, so he's got

290
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: to make good on those passes. But he sent it

291
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to this point and Honestly, the cornerbacks for the Raiders

292
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: Leon Hall is eighty two years old, Garan Conley and

293
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Rashaan Melvin. Ah And by the way, Tannil is not

294
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: gonna be pressured in this game Oakland. Oakland is registered

295
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: two sacks on the season. So Taniel will have time,

296
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: he'll find, he'll find his receivers, and I think he'll

297
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: be startable here. Let's go to the running back position.

298
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Brian I got Chicago's Treek Cohen at Arizona against the Cardinals.

299
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Opportunities have been a plenty for opposing running backs. They're

300
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: averaging thirty eight touches per game. Arizona has allowed twenty

301
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: five red zone touches running back so far. To put

302
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: that into perspective, the Browns and Jets have combined to

303
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: allow red zone touches and they have an extra game.

304
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: They have an extra game. Uh yeah, the Chicago defense

305
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: is gonna totally dominate this game. It's gonna be ball

306
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: control all day. There will be stuff left on the

307
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: table for Trek Cohen. He will surprise and shock. Really,

308
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna a good game. Okay, I've got Corey Clement

309
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: versus India. This one's a bit of low hanging fruit.

310
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: So sinceide my top ten this week. Yeah, he's fanball

311
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: by the way, so that's cheap and he's inside Charches

312
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: Top ten. The Colts have allowed the most running back

313
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: receptions and the second most receiving yards to running backs

314
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: this year. And oh, by the way, j A. G

315
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: I and Darren Sprawls are out there. Starting quarterback is

316
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: coming back for his first game after an a c

317
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: L injury. Their left tackle still a little bit dinged up,

318
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: and the only other run around the roster is Wendell Smallwood.

319
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: Sounds like dump offs to Corey Clement all day long.

320
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: Um mine's also low hanging fruit, but I'm gonna go

321
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: with higher hanging fruit at the same time, we're gonna

322
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: hang them high and low. Wow. Uh. Latavius Murray and

323
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: Mike Boone are my answers, and I can really give

324
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: you the same description for both. Buffalo Is allowed six

325
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs in their two games, including two

326
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: of them to the backups. We now that know that

327
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is out, Latavius Murray's your starter, Mike Boon

328
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: should be your backup in this one. Mike and the

329
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: are seventeen point favorites, and they're facing a team that's

330
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: given up seventy eight points. The game script should be

331
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: very run heavy here. The Bills have allowed a rushing

332
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: touchdown in two backs in four their last five games

333
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: going back to last year, and two of the touchdowns

334
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: they've allowed backup running backs. I used Austin tackle or

335
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: is my guy last week? That worked out well in

336
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: this spot. Mike Boone as a deep dart throw. If

337
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: you're in a pinch, I'm telling it's fits plausible. Boone's

338
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: barn is gonna be flowing out. And I think you're right.

339
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver position. I've got ted

340
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: Ginn at Atlanta. Gain is one of twenty wide receivers

341
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: with at least two hundred air yards so far this season.

342
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: He has more catches than Marvin Jones, Michael crab Sheet, Crabtree,

343
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: and Chris Hogan, to name a few, and starting in

344
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Week sixteen of last year, when Gain had four catches

345
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: for seventy six yards and a touchdown against these Falcons again,

346
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: is out top seventy yards. Indoors scored a touchdown in

347
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: four of the last six games since and then so

348
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: like all right, you got Jared Cook going up against Miami,

349
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: the team leader and targets in Oaklands, Cook with sixteen

350
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: through two weeks. Here's a little bit of an advanced stat.

351
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr's average intended air yards a tree in the

352
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: intended area, how far past the line of scrimmage his

353
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: passes go before they're touched by a hand is five

354
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: point four yards. Terrible. That's the second lowest in the league.

355
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: To give you an idea, Pat Mahomes leads the league

356
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: with twelve on on on that so it's a perfect

357
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: dump off place to the tight end over and over again.

358
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: Miami hasn't allowed a tight end score yet, but this

359
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: season their bottom ten and receptions and yards to tight end,

360
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: and the last tight end to top a hundred yards

361
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins was way back in Week nine of

362
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: last year. His name was Jared Cook eight for a

363
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six. My take a chance to me

364
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver Pierre Garson, who has not scored a touchdown

365
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: in six hundred fifty one days. Pierre Garzone as usual,

366
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: He's been kind of invisible this year, just seventy eight

367
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: yards so far, but a phenomenal match up with Kansas city.

368
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: They've allowed the most receptions to receivers. They've allowed the

369
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: second most touchdowns to receivers. They've allowed the sixth most

370
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: yards to receiver. Garson moves all over the field, and

371
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: we'll often match up with Hello, that was very abrupt.

372
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: And we'll often match up with Orlando Scandrick who's playing

373
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: out of position, or Kendall Fuller who has been a

374
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: disaster in the slot. Good matchups for Pierre Garson, all

375
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: over the field. All right, now you can do the

376
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: the abrupt ending if you want, Tony, thank you. I

377
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: don't need to hear anymore of that one, that is

378
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Let's sneak in a matchup, specifically Green Bay

379
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: taking on Washington. UH. Aaron Rodgers is an eight start.

380
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm treating him based on what we saw it last

381
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: week as if he's at ninety efficacy for all the

382
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: rest of his starts until we know he's healthy. Um,

383
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: still not practicing as much as we'd like, But that's okay.

384
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to his receiver's beginning with Davante Adams, Redskins

385
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: have allowed just nineties six yards two receivers. That's fourth

386
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: fewest and one measily three yard touchdown reception. That's all.

387
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: They've been a good they've been a good pass defense

388
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: and better than better than their actual talent level would see. Yes. Um, Fortunately,

389
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: Davante Adams has been very good to this point. He

390
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: has scored twice and average seventy six yards per game.

391
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Adams can avoid Josh Norman anytime he wants because Norman

392
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: only plays one side of the field, so Adams can

393
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: just move left and go see Quentin Dunbar if they want.

394
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: And that may be the case, and that's why he

395
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: gets a B grade here. Randall Cobbs the other guy

396
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: who who I rather like in this one. He's got

397
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: a fantastic matchup out of the slot against maybe the

398
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: worst slot corner in the league. Fabian Moreau is his name. Um,

399
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: we know, cops not a regular touchdown scorer, but that's okay.

400
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: This is a This is the sort of game where

401
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: you could chip in seven eight receptions and should be

402
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: a strong PPR play B grade for Randall Cobb as well,

403
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: and then Gerona Wallis and also gets a C grade.

404
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: He'll probably get a lot of Josh Norman in this game,

405
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: but frankly, Josh Norman's not Josh Norman anymore. He's still good.

406
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: He's just not great. Um is he good? Is that good?

407
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: That's it? He's good. You know he would not be

408
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: Josh Norman will not be a starting cornerback on the

409
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. As one. As one measure of note, I

410
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: think Allison's fast, uh, and he could get past Norman

411
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: these days. I would. I'm not ruling out a long

412
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: downfield reception for the speedster Geronimo Allison. Let's go to

413
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: the let's go to the tight end position. Jimmy Graham

414
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: last week against the Redskins Indianapolis tight ends caught eight passes,

415
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. Graham was targeted eight times when he

416
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: played these same Redskins last year, well with Seattle only

417
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: targeted one time in the red zone so far this year,

418
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: which is weird. Do you think Jimmy Graham would get

419
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: one called back for a penalty in that game last week?

420
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: Eliminates one time? That eliminate, eliminates one. We'll go to

421
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: on the year. For for Jimmy Graham, you figure that

422
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: he's due to pick up some red zone receptions. This

423
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: feels like a good opportunity be grade for Jimmy Graham.

424
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams slink slumps down to a C grade here.

425
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: The return of Aaron Jones is gonna sap some carries

426
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: from Williams. The Redskins just allowed Marlon Mack and Jordan

427
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Wilkins to gain nine yards and almost five yards per carry,

428
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: so a two added monster can get it done a bit. Here,

429
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: the Cardinals backfield caught nine passes a week earlier, nine times,

430
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: nine times, nine times. Washington has also allowed a rushing

431
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: score to a running back in each of their last

432
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: four games going back to last year, and Williams is

433
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: the goal lineback or the presumed goal lineback, so there

434
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: are reasons to continue starting Jamal Williams even with Aaron Jones.

435
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave Aaron Jones on the bench and just

436
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: monitor his usage for this week. Let's go to the

437
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Washington side of this game. Chris Thompson A grade again.

438
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: I think I've given him a B and A and

439
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: an A in three games so far, and he has

440
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: been terrific currently almost worth the peacock church. Well, you

441
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: know what, just for you there he is. I was

442
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, I was inferring that I'm just I'm just

443
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I'm just gonna own it. He's up.

444
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: He's been terrific going through my my league's He's currently

445
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: between the number five and number nine running back in

446
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: my league's. Scoring systems change and fluctuate a little bit.

447
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: You can see the same for wide receivers too. You

448
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: probably ranks. Probably he's reading that ballpark as well. Thompson's

449
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: averaging six catches eighty six receiving yards and those are

450
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver numbers. Six catches eighty six receiving yards. UH.

451
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: In his last six home games, Alex Smith has targeted

452
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: him twenty one times over the first two weeks of

453
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: the season. Green based twenty four yards per rush. Dalvin

454
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Cook just put a fifty three receiving yards on them.

455
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: This is it all. It all feels like a great

456
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: game coming for Chris Thompson. He is an A. Adrian

457
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: Peterson is a B. Green Bay has allowed four point

458
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry so far. I like that part.

459
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Peterson still getting plenty of work. He won't chip in

460
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: much through the airs always, although he did have a

461
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: long catch and run last week. Let's go to the

462
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: passing game where Alex Smith gets a C grade. The

463
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 1: Packers handled Mitch Trabisky in the opener, but then they

464
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: got worked over by Kirk Cousins last week. So where

465
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: does Alex Smith fall between those two? Probably middle Cousins,

466
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I think on that scale, on the t A Skey

467
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: Cousin scale. Um, I wish Smith had just more and

468
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: better weapons in in Washington, but he just doesn't. It

469
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: is a It's got a favorable matchup with Jamison Crowder, though,

470
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: And let's talk about Crowder, who also gets a C grade. Here.

471
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: He'll face rookie jayre Alexander, who got worked over by

472
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: Adam Thieland last week. And I don't think he's been terrible,

473
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: but Crowder has the advantage at this stage of their careers.

474
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: And Crowder would probably get a B grade, but he's

475
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: only got five passes so far this year, and I

476
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: don't understand that. And I'm worried that the change to

477
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Alex Smith from Cousins means that Smith just isn't as

478
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: Crowder centric, maybe as Cousins was so C grade for Crowder.

479
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: And then the only other receiver of note, Jordan Reed,

480
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: who gets a B grade. Since the start of last season,

481
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the package of allowed just three tight ends to top

482
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: forty eight yards, but one one was Kyle Rudolph last week.

483
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 1: Rudolph pulled down seven of eight targets for seventy two

484
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: yards just last week, and Read is currently third among

485
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: tight ends and catches, so a B grade for him.

486
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: When we come back, a bunch of matchups for you,

487
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: including Tennessee chaking on Jacksonville, the return of Leonard four net.

488
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: How does it impact Blake Portals? What about t J. Yeldon?

489
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: We'll tell you when we come back. This morning at

490

Speaker 1: can enter. Yeah, taking me to charge GPP charge. That

513
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: was perfect, Thank you, it was. There was so much

514
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: enthusiasm with that too. Couldn't be happier. Throbbing vain in

515
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: his forehead, Tennessee taking on Jacksonville. Blaine Gabbert may very

516
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: well be at helm again here. I'm I'm very nervous

517
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: that if you either get a one armed Marcus Mariota

518
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: or a two armed playing Gabbert and that's kind of

519
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: a push. Yeah, you're not playing either one of these quarterbacks. Well,

520
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: how about any of the receivers a two armed Blaine Gabbert? Uh?

521
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Come on, it's better than all right.

522
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm off track here a Titans. This is gonna be quick.

523
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Receiver's about right there, any receiver play. I would give

524
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Corey Davis to see. If Jalen Ramsey sits, he's questionable

525
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. But if Ramsey starts, I got

526
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Davis on the bench. Check this real quick. Corey Davis

527
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: has twenty targets, which is a lot. Dean Lewis has nine,

528
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: Delaney walker Head seven. Then every other player on the Titans.

529
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Every other player has combined for twenty three targets compared

530
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: to Corey Davis twenty. So he's the guy, but not

531
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Dion Lewis gonna give a seat. Jaguars

532
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: allowing receiving yards per games running back so far, Derrick

533
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: Henry has been incredibly ineffective. He's on the bench. So

534
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: I give Dean Lewis the sea. But this is an

535
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: awful matchup for the Titans. Not a lot. Going here

536
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: over to the Jacksonville side. Lineman come back, right, I think, yeah,

537
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: they're getting Conklin back, and uh well, Conklin is still

538
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: questionable with the knee and Dennis Kelly his backup and

539
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: is the backup left tackle in the backup right tackle

540
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: already ruled out. And then the other tackle I don't

541
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: think is coming back. So I mean they're heading the

542
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: right way, but they're not there yet. You don't want

543
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: any part of the Titans in this one. For the Jaguars.

544
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: Leonard four Neette still not sure if he'll play. If

545
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: he plays, I'll give him the see, but I will

546
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: encourage you to use someone else if you can. Tennessee

547
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: does have a good run defense. Only one running back

548
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: is toped eighty rushing yards in their last eighteen regular

549
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: season games. That was Todd Gurley pretty impression. Only four

550
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns allowed during that span. Four NET nineteen carries

551
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: for sixty nine nice yards in the first meeting last year,

552
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: or fourteen for forty in a touchdown. There's a pretty

553
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: serious floor here for four NET. So I'm a little concerned. Also,

554
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: they're giving up hundred seven rushing yards per game, so

555
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, if four NET gets most are all the

556
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: work with Yelden Hurt. I still think there's a scenario

557
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: where Yeldon has a decent game here, but we just don't.

558
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I just don't feel comfortable about him on that hamstring

559
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: yet because he's still not practicing in full. And I'm

560
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: I get, I get, you know, we've just seen makes

561
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: good strings go bad. Like I'd rather play Corey Grant

562
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: over look, and I love Corey. I love Corey, but

563
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: they don't. They won't play him. It doesn't sound like

564
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: you love Corey Grant that much. No, I like him

565
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he's I think he's a ever.

566
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: It seems like something good happens every time he touches

567
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: the ball. Anyway, continue for the receiver's Heelan Cole looks

568
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: like the top option now for the Jaguars. Over his

569
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: last six games dating back to last season, Cole has

570
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: average five catches for ninety nine yards and half a

571
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. Tennessee's secondaries there's all off spot, but

572
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm still not going d D West Broker Dante Moncrieff.

573
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: Just can't trust either of those guys. Maybe decent DFS

574
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: dart throws, but um not giving them a starting grade

575
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: A s J. I had him on the bench as well. Uh,

576
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee is tough against tight ends. Uh, the Jags aren't

577
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna need to throw a lot in this game, basically

578
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee's struggled mightily to score points. But you don't like

579
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: the running game either, Um, well, I don't like Leonard

580
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: four Nett because I don't think they need him to

581
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: carry the ball to many times in this game. I

582
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: think he's looking at ten to twelve carries and it's

583
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: going to be a platoon with Corey Graham. But that's

584
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: just what I think. And Blake Bortles, if Tennessee was

585
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna score points, I out borderline give him an A

586
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: in this matchup because he's looked great Bortle, But I'm

587
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna give him a B because again, he's

588
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: not gonna throw the ball board than thirty times in

589
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: this game. But it's pretty feasibly gets two to three touchdowns,

590
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: maybe one on the ground, So I'll give him a B. Alright,

591
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: let's go to Indianapolis going against Philadelphia. For for Andrew Luck,

592
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: I went back and watched all of his throws this

593
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: week just to make sure I was comfortable with where

594
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: he is. It's all short stuff. He has the lowest

595
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: A dot in the league that's the average distance of

596
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: throws or whatever, and it's it's right at or even

597
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: under five yards per throw, he's still a The arm

598
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: strength just isn't there. He's just not slinging the ball

599
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: around the field. I'm I am nervous about Andrew Luck

600
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Yeah. I mentioned Derek Carr and his

601
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: area yards of five point four. Luck is five point three.

602
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: So but the good thing is his completion percentage is

603
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: a well above average seventy one point four percent, and

604
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: he faces a Philly defense that just lets Stu Beard

605
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: go for four eleven and four against him, and one

606
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: and fifty of those yards were shortish passes that went

607
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: for seventy five yard touchdowns, one to de Sean Jackson

608
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: and one to O. J. Howard. So there's some holes

609
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: in that secondary on the second level, so maybe these

610
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: short passes will work. I still gave Andrew Luck a

611
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: B grade this week. Uh t Y Hilton, I'm giving

612
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: him a B as well. He missed some practice this week,

613
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: but he scored in both games. He's had eleven targets

614
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: in both games, and most importantly, he's had four red

615
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: zone targets this year. And number one wide receivers have

616
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: just killed the Eagles. Julio D. Jacks and Mike Evans

617
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: all had huge games for tight end Eric Ebron as

618
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: a C grade in this game because Jack Doyle is out. Uh.

619
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: Doyle had fifteen targets in the first two weeks, Ebron

620
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: only had nine. Let's add in those targets to Eric

621
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: Ebron this week, plus Abrons had all the red zone

622
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: targets for the tight ends. He's becoming a favorite target

623
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: down near the stripe for Andrew Luck. We're gonna keep

624
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: the whole running game on the bench though, even though

625
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack is out this week. Jordan Wilkins and Niheim Hines.

626
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: Wilkins led the trio last week in rushing attempts with twelve,

627
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: but Hines had the goal line work and the touchdown.

628
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: It's just murky there and I don't want any part

629
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: of it over on the Philly side. I gave Corey

630
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: Clement to take a chance on me. I'm giving him

631
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: a B grade, although I did hear that he has

632
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hamstring injury, quad injury, quad injury. Uh.

633
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: That makes Wendel Smallwood kind of an option too. If

634
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: you're in a super deep league and in our Guillotine league,

635
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm starting Wendel small Largest because we had a giant

636
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: and we're desperate, right, Yeah, you can't lose in a

637
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: guillotine league, whatever it takes. And then when they rule

638
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: out Smallwood right before kickoff, make sure you grab Josh Adams.

639
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: Well you should probably sabotage and back pick him up

640
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 1: right now. Carson Wentz, I'm giving him a C grade

641
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: in his first game back. India's held Andy Dalton and

642
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: Alex Smith too meager numbers, but it's hard to not

643
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: equate Dalton and Smith's abilities and weapons to Carson Wentz,

644
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: so he's probably in the two hundred range and a touchdown.

645
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: So I got Nelson agil Is a C grade this

646
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: week and Jordan Matthews, newly acquired back on the bench.

647
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: The weird thing here is agil ran most of his

648
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: routes from the slot, and due to injuries to Mike

649
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: Wallace and Alshon Jeffrey, they signed Matthews. Matthews played in

650
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson offense with Wentz in sixteen and ran

651
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: almost exclusively from the slot. And when you take al

652
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: Nelson agil Are out of the slot, he does nothing.

653
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: He's absolutely awful out of the slot. So I'm giving

654
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: him a C grade this week because I want to

655
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens and Zach hurts he gets

656
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: an a uh, He's winces will be he has the

657
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: most tight end targets in the NFL. Easy A grade

658
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Bills take on the Vikings. This will not take long.

659
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: There are no Bills to start and Lashawn McCoy probably

660
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: he's a coin flip of playing true game time decision

661
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: with his rib injury, but it doesn't matter. Outside of

662
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard run late last week. His other

663
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: carries this year of average two yards per carry. The

664
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: Vikings have not allow of running back to gain sixty

665
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: yards rushing this year, and only one top seventy four

666
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: rushing yards all of last year. And they were even

667
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: better at home. On the Viking side obvious A starts

668
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: for Kirk and Feeling and digs. The Bills have allowed

669
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks to complete seventy five percent of their passes,

670
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: second worst in the league. Joe Flacco and Philip Rivers

671
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: each through three touchdowns before calling off the Dogs in

672
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: the second half. And that's something I do want to address.

673
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: Because I'm getting this to a bunch of this on

674
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: Twitter is well, I'm scared to start Kirk and Dealing

675
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: and Diggs because they're gonna they're gonna get up by

676
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: so many points and then they're gonna rest, to which

677
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: I say, how did they get up by so many points?

678
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: Seven defensive touchdowns? Well, yeah right, that's that's that's the

679
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: You already got your points. Sure they may only be

680
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: trying for three quarters, but apparently you already have their

681
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: points and that if that happens that way, So play

682
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: trivor Simeon if you're that scared. Yeah right, go for Simeon.

683
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph gets A gets an A grade here as well.

684
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo gave up the fourth most receptions to tight ends

685
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: last year, and in Week one, the uninspiring trio of

686
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore tight ends combined for nine catches one hundred thirteen

687
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: yards against the Bills. So Kyle Rudolph in as well,

688
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: and I already mentioned Murray and Boone in might take

689
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: a chance on the segment. Both are strong starts. You

690
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: don't think Charles Charles Clay has a chance C grade

691
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: for Charles Clay, Why would I do that? Because he's

692
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a top twelve tate end this week. Um,

693
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: if you want to give him a C grade. You

694
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: want to do? You want to tell people to take

695
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: Charles Clay? Yeah? Right, you should have the Vikings? Have

696
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings given up a shocking amount of tight end

697
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: yards receptions? Yes? Does Charles Clay suck? Yes? Does Josh

698
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Allen suck? Yes? I mean Charles Clay is is as nondescript.

699
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't suck utterly nondescript. Josh Allen is terrible at

700
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: this stage of his career. He starts in one start. Eric. Hello, Yeah,

701
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: this is Eric. I got a question. Yes, in the

702
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: Dynasty League, who would you rather have going forward? For

703
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: NET or Joe Mixon? Well good, We've got the guy

704
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: who maintains our Dynasty League player rankings and trade value

705
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: chart right here on the show. I think I have

706
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: for NET as a slightly higher grade, but I haven't

707
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: updated it in about a week, and I think that's

708
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: getting closer and closer. That gap is shrinking very quickly.

709
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: So it's four NET, but it's it's very close. Thank you,

710
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Read an interesting story from um I think

711
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: I saw on Reddit from a doctor who really broke

712
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: down four nets hamstringline online doctor um and doctor said basically,

713
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: these the now recurrence of hamstring injuries with four net

714
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: is extremely troubling and very likely portends a shortened career

715
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: and ongoing hamstring problems for him. I don't know if

716
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: it's true or not, but that's what they said. We'll

717
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: see when we come back. The Giants taking on the Texans.

718
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for something to happen from the passing

719
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: game from the Giants. Is Odell backham finally going to

720
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: break out against the Texans? Find out when we return.

721
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by Devanes Walcome back

722
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan. Dive right back into

723
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: the matchups, beginning with the Giants taking on the Texans

724
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: and Brian at offensive line gets worse. Center John Halipio Halapio, Halopio,

725
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: Hallopio Halapano. John Hallipano not gonn working here anymore. He's

726
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: out for the year. Their backup center they traded to

727
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings, so now they're on third string center guy.

728
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is, and Eric Flowers

729
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: is still a starter on the offensive line. Haven't been

730
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: able to get a consistent run game going pass game

731
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: has been even worse. What do you expect against the

732
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: Texans and J. J. Watt against that line a little worried,

733
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: but you still got to start, say Kwon Barkley gonna

734
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: give him the a uh your you mentioned how and

735
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: the line has been Get this. Adam Spinks at the

736
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: rb Scout on Twitter broke this down of se Kwan

737
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Barkley's a hundred thirty four rushing yards so for so far,

738
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: eighteen of them have come before the first potential tackle point,

739
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: meaning that's jeez, the remainder, the remaining a hundred and

740
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: after Barkley him I'm not kidding when I say I'm watching,

741
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching. Was it Sunday or Monday Night? Played last week?

742
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Sunday. I'm watching the Sunday night game, thinking

743
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: to myself, it's like halftime, like he's already broken tent tackles.

744
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, every damn yard Barkley gets, he's got to

745
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: get on his own. There's no help because the yards

746
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: per carried before the potential first potential tackle point zero

747
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: point six. After that four point oh, unbelievable. Unbelievable. Barkley,

748
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: he's quietly because the offensive line is limiting him so much.

749
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: He is he is having an awesome season that nobody

750
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: is recognizing. I think just because the box score doesn't

751
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: light up like a pinball machine because of what the

752
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: offensive line is is holding him to. Yeah, and people

753
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: who own Barkley and standard leagues are probably pretty sick

754
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: over his fourteen catches last Yeah, right, But anyway, Uh

755
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: so he's got the a I'm giving Odell Beckham and

756
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: a to Houston has allowed a wide receiver touchdown in

757
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: each game so far this year. Posing wide receivers average

758
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: more than a touchdown per game last year against the Texans.

759
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: They allowed multi multiple touchdowns in a single game to

760
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: six different wide receivers last year. One of them was

761
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Jaden mick Ins. Geez, can you who the hell is

762
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: Jaden Mickens? Yeah, two touchdowns against the Techans Texans last year.

763
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: So I'm liking Beckham here. I also like Evan Ingram,

764
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: who has more targets, catches and touchdowns, and Sterling Shepard

765
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: looks like New York's true wide receiver two. As predicted,

766
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: the Texans surrender the fourth most fantasy points a tight

767
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: ends tight ends last year. Gronk had seven catches for

768
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: one or twenty three yards in a touchdown in week one.

769
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: So Ingram's in a good spot and with those three weapons,

770
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: that's why Eli was might take a chance on me.

771
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: Quarterback Evan helped me over to the Texans side. DeAndre

772
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: Hopkins gets an a. As it stands, the Giants are

773
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: allowing under thirty four yards per game to number one

774
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers. But that's the number one wide receivers from

775
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Cowboys. That little smoke and mirrors there,

776
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: Hoppkins should see a lot of Genorris Jenkins. But you're

777
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: you're starting them either way. Not an ideal spot, but

778
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna start Hopkins. Definitely start Will Fuller as well.

779
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a bu secondary speed receivers have somewhat

780
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: scorched the Giants secondary thus far. Petie Westbrook had five

781
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: catches for fifty one yards. Tavon Austin had seventy nine

782
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown last week. Last year, John Brown

783
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: and something called Johnny Holton scored late in season. So

784
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: speed receivers have been killing the Giants, like Fuller here

785
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: when he's healthy and speaking Fuller, did you see the

786
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: Watson numbers with and without Fuller? Yeah, so with Fuller

787
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and games with Fuller. Deshaun Watson is averaging

788
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: three point six touchdowns per game without Will Fuller one

789
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: chown per game. It's a huge, huge differential for him.

790
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: And it's quarterback rating is Passer rating is one hundred

791
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: seventeen with Fuller, seventy five without Fuller. You gotta keep

792
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: this Fuller guy healthy. Yeah, they might want to keep

793
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: him on the field. He might be a little more

794
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: impactful than people thought. So Watson gets to be for

795
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: those reasons. Right there, You did that for me. I

796
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: appreciate that you honestly, Ryan Griffin tight end, I almost

797
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: used him as my take on because it's a tight

798
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: end against the Giants. The Giants are number one against

799
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: tight ends right now. That's because the Cowboys don't have

800
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: any tight ends, and I don't know the jaguarsdn't do much.

801
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: But you know, Griffin, if you're a maybe a nice

802
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: little dark on fanball, ten Max entries in the and lastly,

803
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, I'm gonna give him a B. He's gonna

804
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: get the volume. Twenty touches are a lock. He has

805
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: very very positive splits with Watson under center as well.

806
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: It's not very exciting, but now certainly startable considering how

807
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: bad that Houston offensive line is, the fact that Lamar

808
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: Miller has been averaging like four point eight yards per carry.

809
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: He's like to the best, So you having the best

810
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: season he's had like five years. He's a good football player. No,

811
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: he he is not. Man, I thought you'd given that

812
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: up a long time. Oakland going up against Miami, the

813
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: Oakland offense has been awfully inconsistent. Um, but there were

814
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: signs of life last week you alluded earlier in the show.

815
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carr completed something like his passes last week in

816
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: week ridiculously impressive. What do you think about this chances

817
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: against Miami? Well, like I said, is a completion percentage

818
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: right now in the season is through the roof at

819
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: eighty point six percent. But Gruden's not asking him to

820
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: do anything, hence the one touchdown pass and three picks

821
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks. Miami's tied for the league

822
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: lead in interceptions with five through two games and have

823
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: only allowed one touchdown. That's why Derek fires on the bench.

824
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: For me, they played a part of it. It might

825
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: be it might have something to do with it. Given

826
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: him Amari Cooper a tepid ce UH. Miami is allowed

827
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: two double digit target wide receivers to play against them

828
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: this year, Corey Davis and Quincy and noon Wall Uh

829
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: sixty two yards for Davis, nine two yards for noon On.

830
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Both were held out of the end zone. Are you

831
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: going to get the Cooper who had three targets in

832
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: week one or the Cooper who had ten targets, ten

833
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: catches and a hundred and sixteen yards in week two.

834
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: We don't know, because he's had eight games with under

835
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards in his last fourteen starts and only

836
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: three in that span above a hundred yards. So we

837
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: don't know what we're going to get with Cooper day

838
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: in and day out. So what's your grade on Cooper?

839
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: They gave him a see just because you gotta have

840
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: him in line up just for the good game, but

841
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of bad games. I only

842
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: have him in one league, and I did I played

843
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: it exactly wrong where I started in week one, and

844
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: then I benched in week two, and now week three like,

845
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: oh great, he is the roller coaster from hell. What

846
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: you do with the Marie Cooper is you either trade

847
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: him or you leave him in your lineup. Those are

848
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: like the only two options. Don't try to play the

849
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: guessing game. Trade him or leave him in. You should

850
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: have been trying to trade him this week after we

851
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: actually did so. You should still try to trade. There's

852
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: still time high whenever possible. Jared Cook was might take

853
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: a chance on me receiver, and I have a bench

854
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: grade for Marshawn Lynch. Much to the chagrin Na Paul

855
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: Sharchy and the Dolphins two back fields with a power

856
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: back and the receiving back. The power back has failed

857
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: miserably in both instances, while the receiving back was the

858
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: one to start. Dion Lewis had a hundred and ten

859
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: total yards in a score. Derrick Henry had thirty one

860
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: scoreless yards. Blal Powell head eight yards in a score,

861
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: mostly through the air. Isaiah Kroll had thirty nine scoreless yards.

862
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: I'd say the dart throw is Jalen Roshard here, not

863
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch in this game, I know, and drop him

864
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: out right yep? Samtage dropped Yeah, Look, that's got ye

865
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: all right. On the other side, there's only one starter

866
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: on the Miami side. It's Kenyan Drake. In the preseason,

867
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: I warned that the high end mark for Drake would

868
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: be fifteen ish touches per game. He's averaging sixteen so

869
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: far the season. That's not bad, but Frank Gore is

870
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: still getting nine rushing attempts, so that's always going to

871
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: make me tap it on Drake, but still is a

872
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: good matchup. Phillip Lindsay only fifteen touches the total hundred

873
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: and eleven last week, and Todd Gurley just absolutely killed

874
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: them with about the same touchload in week one. Chart Head,

875
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: take a chance on me grade on Ryan Tannehill. I

876
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: am on the bench because he's only averaging pass attempts

877
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: per game and they're averaging thirty rushing attempts per game.

878
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: So I just don't think the volume is there. But

879
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: I heard your reasons and and I'm with the volumes

880
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: gotten two touchdowns in each of the first two games.

881
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: It's worth noting Tannehill nine and one over his last

882
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: ten starts. Also worth noting that you hate Ryan. I

883
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: do hate. I think a reasonable person would conclude he's

884
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: more like a c start. You're the reasonable person. I am,

885
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: well for once, I have Kenny Stills and danny Amon

886
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: Dola on the bench as well, still has had the

887
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: big boom in Week one, then came back to earth

888
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: with only two catches for seventeen yards. And amun Dola

889
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: is actually beating stills and targets over the last two

890
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: weeks ten to eight for the score. But that's it.

891
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: They're averaging five and four targets per game and that's

892
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: not enough to start in your fantasy lineup. No, I

893
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: don't think that that is as a matter of fact. Um,

894
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: let's move on to our next do we have whh

895
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: Well you know what, Actually I kind of forgot we

896
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: were supposed to roll into five questions. That sounds like

897
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: it's next segment. It's only three, and I think we

898
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: can squeeze them in. So why do we do it now? Questions?

899
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's the seven am start. Is I am?

900
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm not? I'm I am, I'm frazzled openly admitted for

901
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Will Josh Gordon be a

902
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: wide receive for one wide receiver to flex or bench

903
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: grade player? We begin with Brian. It's bench from me

904
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,959
Speaker 1: right now. I gotta see him be a football player again.

905
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: See him take seventy eight sending the snaps and on

906
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: and on that team. I don't mean this week, this

907
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: is I can't right now. I don't trust him to

908
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: the contributing member of that team. And if he is,

909
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: don't forget Julian Edelman's coming back soon. Chris Hogan's in

910
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: the mix, Rob Gronkowski, Philip Door said, is something. There

911
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: are just so many weapons they are spreading it around there.

912
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 1: Just for me, it's bench grade right now, and that's it, okay.

913
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: So I looked back at all the Patriots wide receivers

914
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: who've reached a thousand yards in the last ten years.

915
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: To reach that, you need a minimum of a hundred

916
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: and fourteen targets, which is what Brandon Cooks did last year.

917
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: And I did all the math, and there's just not

918
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: enough targets because Edelman average ten, Hogan averages five, Gronk

919
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: averages seven, the running backs and receivers average around nine,

920
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: which means Brady would have to throw over forty passes

921
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: per game, and Brady's only hit the forty pass attempt

922
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: mark four times in his last eighteen regular season games.

923
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough targets to go around to

924
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: make Josh Gordon. Anything more than a bench grade got

925
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: bench as well. Um, i'd say flex because I do

926
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: think he's going to ultimately beat end up beating out

927
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: and displacing Philip Dorset. But that's down the road and

928
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be anytime soon. I don't believe, and

929
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be this week. Edelman will

930
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: come back to the slot and then that outside spot

931
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: I believe will ultimately be one out by Josh Gordon.

932
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: But you guys were on the right end of this,

933
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: and I almost had bench as the correct answer. But ultimately,

934
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: I think when I look at across the whole season,

935
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: they're going to be opportunities when we're gonna have him

936
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: with starting grades on a fairly regular basis in later

937
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: shows of this year. I think there's a coin flips

938
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: chance that he's not on the roster yes of October.

939
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: So let's be clear about this that I think we're

940
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: all in unison on sell now. Baby. You know in

941
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: stock market, you buy on expectations and you sell on reality.

942
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: For companies, We're gonna do that on Josh Gordon. There's

943
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: somebody in your league that honestly thinks this is gonna

944
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: be a Randy Moss two point oh scenario or reclamation process,

945
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: uh process. I guess that's gonna go just as well

946
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: as it did with Randy Moss. You've got somebody in

947
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: your league. One of the other eleven owners thinks that

948
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: you shop Josh Gordon at a high price to everybody

949
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: in your league and find out who the suckers who bites.

950
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna do it. And even if you're wrong then

951
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: and he is awesome, you still got a great player anyway,

952
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: right exactly on Twitter, people have told me that if

953
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: they're getting a j Green, Odell Beckham, Joe Mixon, Yes,

954
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: that's the caliber player that people are trading Josh Gordon four.

955
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: If you're two and oh right now, you go get

956
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell on a high risk, high reward game. Yeah,

957
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: stretch run, although I to know that Bell gets his

958
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: job back, maybe not even even when he comes back.

959
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on question number two. From this

960
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: point forward, will Aaron Jones packer running back be an

961
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: RB one, r B two flex or bench matt uh flex?

962
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: But probably not until Mike McCarthy actually figures out that

963
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: he's the best runner on roster Jones was really good

964
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: for a four game stretch last season. He was injured

965
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: in Week seven. Then that coincided with the beginning of

966
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: the Brett Hundley era. May he rest in peace. He

967
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: never really fully regained his health or his quarterback and

968
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, we've seen it. He's ordinary. Jones should get

969
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: a shot soon. That what was the official answer. I

970
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: have him as a flex. I got him on the

971
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: bench because he's not as good a pass catcher as

972
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams or Time Montgomery. Um. I don't think he's

973
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: that much of a better runner than Jamal Williams. Personally,

974
00:51:55,600 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: had good against a decrepit Dallas team, says shown Lee.

975
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: That is the one game that everyone remembers. And look,

976
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: green Bagis throws way too much. From my liking to

977
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: like any starting any of those quarter running backs. When

978
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: three of them are healthy in the red zone, they

979
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 1: throw like eighty percent of the time. That's not gonna change.

980
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna feel comfortable starting Jones unless there's injury

981
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: to one or two the other guys. This is gonna

982
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: be a platoon, so bench for me. Uh, The correct

983
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: answer is again flex, And there's Aaron Jones is the

984
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: best runner, and he will get reps because he's the

985
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,720
Speaker 1: best runner of the group, but you raise very salient points.

986
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: The better pass blocker by a mile is Williams, and

987
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: that means that Williams is going to be in on

988
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: third down. He's also the goal line back. But the

989
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Packers are going to have opportunities and this is still

990
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 1: a high functioning offense with Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones

991
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: will have periodically, especially through bye weeks. He's gonna be

992
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: a guy that we're gonna recommend that you start, and

993
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna make him a flex level player. Davanni's hot

994
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: question number three, carry on Johnson has been a disappointment

995
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: to this point of the season. Are you buy and low?

996
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: Are you? Or are you just glad you didn't draft

997
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: him to begin with? Brian so glad I didn't draft

998
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: him to begin with. I don't really draft Detroit running backs.

999
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: I think the last time I did was job at best.

1000
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: Then that burned me that following year. The last like

1001
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: RB type two guy that played for the Lions. Detroit

1002
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: currently leads the league in passing play percentage. Last year

1003
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: they led the league in passing play percentage. Their touchdown

1004
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: percentage outweighs. They're rushing, they're passing touchdown percentages right around.

1005
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: They just throw, throw, throw all day long. Carry On

1006
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: Johnson doesn't catch the ball. That's the rritic's job. That

1007
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: defense is awful for the Detroit They're gonna be down

1008
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: virtually every week, meaning carries aren't gonna be there for

1009
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: carry On. So I'm not buying low. I'm just glad

1010
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: I didn't touch him and I will continue to not

1011
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: touch him. Matt. To add to Brian's point, Matt Patricia

1012
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: comes from the Belichick coaching tree. Belichick does weird stuff

1013
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: with his backs. Plays the hot hand rotates four guys.

1014
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. La Garrett Blunt, Theoretic, Ameer Abdulla.

1015
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: They're all there. I don't care if those names are

1016
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: boring or or mary to you. They're going to get

1017
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: touches and sap Johnson's value. I'm glad I don't have

1018
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: him on any rosters. Um, I'm actually gonna trade four

1019
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson because you don't. You basically have to

1020
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: give up the worst player on your bench, right and

1021
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: for what he costs to acquire. I'm actually I'm actually

1022
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: interested in buying because that's the price I would pay.

1023
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: And when I was phrasing this up, it wasn't that

1024
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: I have to pay the draft day value of carry

1025
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 1: On Johnson. It's the through two weeks value of carry

1026
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: On Johnson. And here's what, here's a little bit why

1027
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: I think there's room for carry On Johnson to get better.

1028
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: Um One, we saw signs of life last week with

1029
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: a five yard per carry average on eight carries, which

1030
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: is good. I'm happy to see him getting up to

1031
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: eight carries and his play count doubled from week one

1032
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: to week two for Carrie On Johnson. If that's gonna

1033
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 1: double again, potentially that's good. Lea Garrett Blunt looks brutal,

1034
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: like completely cooked. I think there's a real chance that

1035
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: a desperate team is gonna stop giving meaningless carries to

1036
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: le Garrett Blunt and get nothing theoretics not getting his

1037
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: any passes. Right now, carry On Johnson has been targeted

1038
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: how many times you may ask, nine times. He's been

1039
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: targeted nine times. That's a that is a promising beginning

1040
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: to his career. And the Lions are passing at a

1041
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: and they're passing at such a ridiculous rate. It can't hold,

1042
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: so they're going to run more. The only capable runner

1043
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: they've got is carry On Johnson. You have your right now.

1044
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: You will pay virtually nothing to get carry On Johnson

1045
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: from an owner who just wants to forget that they

1046
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 1: ever made that draft pick. We're buying and carry On Johnson.

1047
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 1: When we come back back to the matchups, including San

1048
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: Francisco taking on Kansas City? Are there any players to

1049
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: bench in that game? Will tell you will charge have

1050
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: pants on while reading that matchup? Answer? This is Fantasy

Speaker 1: welcome to the first hour where it's just let's just

1057
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: start it over. Our first matchup is Cincinnati a Carolina. Uh,

1058
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: let me find that all right? You already already deleted

1059
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: that off your computer. I bet in my brain and

1060
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: your brain, and I wouldn't blame you for deleting that

1061
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: game from your brain. I believe where we've left off

1062
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: on matchups is San Francisco taking on Kansas City. It's

1063
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 1: a start everything game for sure. As you can imagine,

1064
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm torn between two of my great loves, Jimmy Garoppolo

1065
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: and Pat mahomes Um. But here's what we know for sure,

1066
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: as you can start both of them with confidence. Let's

1067
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: start in the Garoppolo side. Opponents keenly aware of the

1068
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: deficiencies of starting cornerbacks Orlando Scandrick and Steven Nelson as

1069
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: evidence to buy the one hundred eleven passes that have

1070
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: been thrown at Kansas City in two games. Think about

1071
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: that anything close to that kind of volume ensures a

1072
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: great game from Jimmy Garoppolo. Here. No team has allowed

1073
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: more passing attempts or yards, and only one team is

1074
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: a lot more passing touchdowns in Kansas City. So I

1075
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: love Garoppolo here. Needless to say, that means I gotta

1076
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: love his receivers. Beginning with George Kittle, massive game potentially

1077
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: coming here, Kansas City has given up the second most

1078
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy points to tight ends, the fifth most receptions, the

1079
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: third most yards to tight ends, and they were just

1080
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,959
Speaker 1: burned by Jesse James last week hundred thirty eight yards

1081
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: and a touchdown to Jesse James. George Kittle is a

1082
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: vastly better player. I see, I've got an a grade

1083
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: on George Kittle, and let's talk his receivers. Pierre Garson

1084
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me wide out in this game.

1085
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: Marquis Goodwin, assuming he plays, is gonna be hard to

1086
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: bench as well. He's the niners number one receiver against

1087
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: the worst secondary in the league. And Kansas City is

1088
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: allowed the most receptions to wide outs, the six most

1089
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: yards to wide outs, the second most touchdowns to white outs.

1090
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: So if Goodwin goes, he's startable. If Goodwin doesn't go,

1091
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: put Dante Pettis in your lineup. Why not, it's a

1092
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: great opportunity. Let's talk about Matt Brida. He's your NFL's

1093
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: leading rusher by yards, and he looked very good against

1094
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: the crappy Lions defense last week. But get this, inexplicably

1095
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: out snapped by Alfred Morris last weekend on the season

1096
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: for reasons I don't understand, but I think they've got

1097
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: to be figuring out that breed is way better in

1098
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: the opener. Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler against this same

1099
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: Chief's defense torched him for two hundred eighty three yards,

1100
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: and then James Connor managed sixty five total yards in

1101
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: a score despite only touching about thirteen time. Everything here

1102
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: sets up for a nice game for Brita, who is

1103
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: a b start as well. I'm throwing Alfred Morris on

1104
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: the bench. Here's why one. He's not good too, by

1105
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: the three point three yards per carry too, um it sings.

1106
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a shootout. Teams don't run the ball

1107
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. They're seeing fewer rushing plays than every

1108
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: other team in the NFL, just fifteen per game. And

1109
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: if Alfred Morris is gonna get half of those are less.

1110
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: Let's put him on seven carries at three yards per

1111
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: carry twenty one yards. No thanks, match, Let's I'm with

1112
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: you on that altogether. All right, out of the chief

1113
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: side where it's pretty simple. Mahomes, Hill Kelsey obvious a

1114
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: starts my number one, number one, and number three ranked

1115
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: players at their respective positions. This week. Mahomes is ten touchdowns. Stunning,

1116
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: But even more stunning, get this. Of the ten, seven

1117
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: different receivers have caught touchdowns, but second start quarterback Hey

1118
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: throws to throws touchdowns to seven different receivers in two games.

1119
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: That's an amazing command of the full the full field

1120
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, San Francisco just allowed Matthew Stafford

1121
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: to rebound from his debacle in the opener. The Niners secondary.

1122
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: They've built their secondary to be physical and slow. That

1123
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: is not the way to stop the Chiefs. This is

1124
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: This could be an absolute blowout in the making. Potentially.

1125
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes has racked up those ten touchdowns in two road games.

1126
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Now he's at home. I love Mahomes. Hill and Kelsey

1127
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Watkins also would be great. Showing last week forts of

1128
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: the fifth worst defense and yards allowed to wide receivers.

1129
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: They're also susceptible to the long pass and Sammy Watkins

1130
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: could help that way as well. They also give up

1131
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: more yards on the left side of the field, and

1132
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: that's Watkins side of the field. Kareem Hunt has been

1133
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: the odd man out of the Chiefs point or gy,

1134
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: but I still like him here. The problem has been

1135
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: his receptions. In his last hundred eighty snaps, Kareem Hunt

1136
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: has twenty five receiving yards. Thank you Adam Spinks for

1137
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: that detail. The Niners are giving up a healthy one

1138
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: hundred seven rushing yards per game, four and a half

1139
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Hunt should get those and kinds of numbers.

1140
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I see him getting the one hundred total yards and

1141
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: maybe even one hundred on the ground in this game

1142
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: in what should be an absolute shootout. Can't wait for

1143
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: that game. Let's move on to a Turkey or game,

1144
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: but one with a lot of a lot of background

1145
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: for uts New Orleans taking on Atlanta Division rivals too

1146
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: high potentially high scoring offenses. What do you like here, Brian?

1147
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: A lot to like from one shootout to another. Let's

1148
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: start with the Saints. Alvin Kamara gets an easy ah.

1149
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: The Falcons just get abused by pass catching running backs.

1150
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Alvin a pretty good pass catcher. His first game, uh,

1151
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: he totaled like thirty first game against the Falcons last year,

1152
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: total like thirty yards on the first drive they got

1153
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: knocked out with the concussion. I remember that very better

1154
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: about so he might be the fantasy Fonzie this week.

1155
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: A you know what I think Michael Thomas is though.

1156
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas ten catches and two of his last three

1157
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: against Atlanta, as he scored in three of four career

1158
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: games against them, off to an amazing start. Easy a

1159
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: for him. I believe he is twenty one of twenty

1160
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: three targets. He's caught twenty one twenty three targets to

1161
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: start this season, which is astounding, absolute stud no doubt ted.

1162
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Gin will I take a chance on the wide receiver

1163
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: like him a lot forty on fanball check them out.

1164
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Ben Watson, though on the bench, more career touchdowns against

1165
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta than any other team. That's because he's played for

1166
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: every team, right, Probably that's right. Falcons are allowing a

1167
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: mean or thirty one yards per game to tight ends.

1168
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: Only four teams have allowed few fancy points in Atlanta.

1169
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz was held under fifty yards. So it's not

1170
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: another game for Watson here. So he's on the bench

1171
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees, come on, you're starting him over to Atlanta.

1172
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman will be the lead back it again with

1173
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman out. In games without DeVonta Freeman, Coleman has

1174
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: scored or hit the hundred yard mark in all four

1175
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: over the past two seasons, while averaging twenty touches per game. Uh.

1176
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: He's also scored five times on just thirty six touches

1177
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: in four career games against the Saints, So he gets

1178
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: thirty six touches, so he's gonna get two and a

1179
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: half touchdowns in this game. I like to look forward

1180
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: to the half, so he I'll give him an A

1181
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Who else we got here? Lots of

1182
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: people Julio Jones gonna give him in a despite the

1183
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: fact that, uh, let's see here, surprisingly been held in

1184
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: check against New Orleans only three touchdowns in thirteen games.

1185
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: But you're starting Julio, that's a given. Awesome Hooper will

1186
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: give him a C. Uh saw under twelve percent of

1187
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons red zone targets last year, but this year

1188
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: he has been targeted twenty three percent at the time

1189
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone, so he's has much more of

1190
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: a role in a shootout. So I'll give him a

1191
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: C and Matt Ryan gets a B. I really want

1192
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: to give him a. See here was a stat I

1193
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: saw the last twelve games, Matt Ryan has three seventy

1194
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: nine pass attempts. Mohamed Sanu has won during that same

1195
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: span touchdown passes the Julio Jones, Matt Iron one, Mohammed

1196
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: sanw one. That's that's downright depressing. Yes, really incredibly depressing.

1197
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Ryan has looked decent season though, this is I think

1198
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: he has. Actually think Ryan's looked pretty good. So he

1199
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: gets a soft be here. But uh, that's about it

1200
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: for the foulcons. I'm not going Calvin Ridley or Mohammedan,

1201
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: So that's the end of that Ridley. Um Ridley is

1202
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: showing signs of life, and you know he's starting to.

1203
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: He's starting, She's starting to. He will be a factor

1204
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: sooner than later. I think you're right Denver taking on Baltimore,

1205
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: matt Um. You have been a frequent proponent of Um

1206
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: case Case Keenum. Thank you very much, Case Keenum. Do

1207
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: you like him here and probably his toughest matchup of

1208
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the season as he goes to Baltimore. I need to

1209
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: you to queue our new sound effect here. Last week

1210
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I called for three hundred and three for Keenum and

1211
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: he ended up with two two and zero. Oh I

1212
01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: love that well. Um. However, he had two touchdown passes

1213
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: overturned by the raft, so I'm not given up yet.

1214
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: He gets a c start going against the Baltimore defense

1215
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: that just gave up the farm to Andy Dalton last week.

1216
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,479
Speaker 1: Manuel Sanders is getting an A. Sanders will face slot

1217
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: cornerback Tavon Young, who was responsible for Tyler Boyd's career

1218
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: game last weeks in a touchdown. Jimmy Smith is still

1219
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: out on suspension. That's why Damarius Thomas is getting a B.

1220
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: He's leading the team and tied for eleventh in the

1221
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,479
Speaker 1: league with twenty one targets this season. However, he hasn't

1222
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: had the big game yet, mostly because he's tied with

1223
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: la Kwan Treadwell for the league leading drops. Wow oho

1224
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: A J. Greend did just roll into the end zone

1225
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: three times from the perimeter last week. So I'm giving

1226
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: Thomas the B for benefit of the doubt. Uh, Philip

1227
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Lindsay and Royce Freeman, I'm giving each of those guys

1228
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: to see. Philip Lindsay is the first undrafted running back

1229
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: rookie to total a hundred yards in his first two

1230
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: NFL games. Unbelievable. What a find he has been, by

1231
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: the way, just eye test. He's a better fit in

1232
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: that offense than Freeman. For him, everything I've seen through

1233
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: two games so far, well, Freeman is definitely the goal

1234
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: line he's and Lindsay is everywhere else on the field

1235
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: between the twenties. Pass catching all that so, and Davante Booker,

1236
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: for some reason is still getting like of the snaps.

1237
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's there an end to that.

1238
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is going to eventually get his target share

1239
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: and touch share growing every week, so I like him.

1240
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Acquire him if you can. On the other side, Alex

1241
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Collins gets a C grade. I got Buck Allen on

1242
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: the bench. It's been almost an even time share so

1243
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: far for these two, but I give Collins the edge

1244
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: because he's the better runner, and it's been a situationally

1245
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: weird season for the Ravens. In Game one, they were

1246
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: up on Buffalo by three scores and no time, so

1247
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,919
Speaker 1: they just rested Collins. In Game two, they got down

1248
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: to Since by a ton early, so they put in

1249
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the pass catching back in Buck Allen. And it's a

1250
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: great matchup the Bronco It's not a great matchup, I

1251
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: should say. The Broncos have held opposing running backs to

1252
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: three point six yards per carry in the first two games.

1253
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: The wide receivers. The only one of of this group

1254
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: that's getting a starting grade is John Brown, and I'm

1255
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: giving him a CEE. They moved Chris Harris in as

1256
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: the slot corner in Denver, which means he matches up

1257
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: with Willie Snead for most of the game, so he

1258
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: gets a bench grade. Michael Crabtree is in is in

1259
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: a nine game slump of sixty yards and fewer, so

1260
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: he's on the bench. And John Brown's the interesting guy.

1261
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: He's leading Crabtree and red zone targets three to one,

1262
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: has over a hundred more airy yards this year, which

1263
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: means he's been throwing the ball downfield much more often.

1264
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: And Amari Cooper running from the same spot last week

1265
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: ten catches for a hundred and sixteen yards, and Joe

1266
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Flacco was might take a chance in the quarterback. What

1267
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: was the grade that you gave on Crabtree? I gave.

1268
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: I gave Crabtree a bench, a bench and John Brown. Yeah, okay,

1269
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: thank you. We'll actually talk more about John Brown momentarily.

1270
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: We've got four matchups left and premature speculation in the

1271
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Fine Old segment of Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next

1272
01:07:53,360 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy the final segment Fantasy Football Weekly, you mentioned last

1273
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: week's winner of the Green Belt Crush Charts Challenge, Victor Poplar.

1274
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Victor will be joining me at Manny's for the winner's

1275
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: banquet in January. You can be there too. Go to

1276
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: grain belt dot com and play the Crush Charts Challenge

1277
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 1: for free. Al Right, guys, let's let's get into premature speculation.

1278
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: These are three players that we believe are generally are

1279
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: available in leagues that you can pick up now that

1280
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: everybody else is gonna wish was available next week. But

1281
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: they're about you on your team, Bryan, I'm going with

1282
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: my sleeper from the Training Camp show, and that's Chase Edmonds,

1283
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: the backup running back to the Cardinals right now as

1284
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the second most catches on the Cardinals. By the way,

1285
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: jeez uh, he will be at bell Cow someday. True

1286
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: three down potential. I'm not predicting injury for David Johnson

1287
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but Arizona is very short on playmakers,

1288
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: incredibly short, and Edmonds can make plays out of the slot,

1289
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. He's think his eight to ten

1290
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: touches and that's gonna go up. So I like Jase Edmonds.

1291
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, It's time for me to prematurely speculate on

1292
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: a butt. It's Jake. But targets increased from four in

1293
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: week one to six. In Week two, receptions doubled from

1294
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: two to four. I don't particularly like the matchup this week.

1295
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: We start to hit BIS in Week four and the Broncos.

1296
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: Broncos will be facing against the Chiefs on Monday night

1297
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: in Denver, Jesse. James just torched the Chiefs last week,

1298
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: and I expect George Kittle to do the same this week,

1299
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 1: as they've been missing Eric Barry for a while. I

1300
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: think Jake Butt's a good play. Uh. John Brown has

1301
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: got to be the lowest owned player who has scored

1302
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: in both games. To this point, his ownership is only

1303
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: a forty per cent, and not only as he scored

1304
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: in both weeks, he's been targeted. He got targeted ten

1305
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: times last week. You probably won't start him this week

1306
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: against Denver, although you gave him a C grade. You

1307
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: believe he is startable. Matt Um after this game, he

1308
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: gets favorable matchups with the Steelers, the Browns, the Titans.

1309
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I think John Brown is gonna be startable for the

1310
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: next several weeks, and that's we're gonna right into the

1311
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: bye weeks. John Brown premature speculation. Let's go back to

1312
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: matchups including Chargers taking on the Rams. I guess it's

1313
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: technically an away game for the Chargers in their own

1314
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: home stadium, although every's not their home stadium. They play

1315
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: at stub Hubs. Yeah, yeah, right right, they play at

1316
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: the soccer stadium right in their own city. I guess, um,

1317
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: let's start here. Melvin Gordon's normally an obvious a start.

1318
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: He knocks down to a beach just the Rams defense

1319
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: has been basically the best defensive football so far this year. Um,

1320
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: he's having little or no success running inside. I don't

1321
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: think that won't get any easier. With Aaron Donald and

1322
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Dominan sue. He might have to do his damage as

1323
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: a receiver. The Rams have allowed nineteen receptions to opposing

1324
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: running backs through the air team ten times. Uh, Philip

1325
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Rivers in the passing game. I've got to be grade

1326
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: on Rivers. He's faced two of the league's worst past

1327
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: defenses and he's put up in a responded accordingly six

1328
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: hundred eighty yards and six touchdown. Meanwhile, the Rams have

1329
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: faced Derek Carr and Sam Bradford and they've been every

1330
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: bit is good, giving up zero touchdown passes. Philip Rivers

1331
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 1: probably lands somewhere in between the audacious numbers of his

1332
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: first two weeks and the audacious numbers of the RAMS

1333
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: defense over the past couple of weeks, and that makes

1334
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: him a beast start. Keenan Allen also a beast start.

1335
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: RAMS defense is held opposing receivers to a league best

1336
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: six receptions for forty nine yards a game, which is ridiculous. Uh.

1337
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Keenan's matchup out of the slot is Roby Roby Coleman,

1338
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: who plays the slot corner position, holding opposing receivers to

1339
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent catch rate, which is miniscule. It's a

1340
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: tough matchup for Keenan Allen. He gets a B grade.

1341
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: All the rest of your charges are on the bench

1342
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: in a brutally tough matchup, including Mike Williams, who is

1343
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: getting more and more playing time. But Travis Benjamin likely

1344
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: returns and this is not the right matchup for him.

1345
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to the RAM side obviously, Todd Gurley is

1346
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: an a start. Let's go to the passing game. Jared

1347
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: Goff B grade here. He's top thirty eight path attempts

1348
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: just three times since Sean McVeigh took over, So volume

1349
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: is you know, he doesn't get the big volume here.

1350
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: And I don't love that part of this matchup. I

1351
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: also don't love the opponent. Chargers secondary's loaded with talent

1352
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: and the path of least resistance really is just running

1353
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: gurly in this game. Last year, the Chargers finished thirty

1354
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: feet and rushing yards allowed in fourth and passing yards allowed,

1355
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: and it feels like much of the same defense now.

1356
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: So um, I'm worried about Jared Goff. I'm still giving

1357
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: him a B, but he trends closer to a C

1358
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: than an A. Brandon Cooks is my highest ranked among

1359
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: the Rams receivers. He draws the easiest cornerback matchup. He

1360
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: will face off against Trevor Williams. Uh Cooks has had

1361
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: an instant connection with Golf. I was worried that it

1362
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: might take a little while for for Cooks to settle in,

1363
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 1: but that has not been the case. He's got more

1364
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: yards in his two Rams games than any two games

1365
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: stretch of his entire career, and he's been catching passes

1366
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: from Brady and Breeze. The Charges have allowed the fourth

1367
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: fewest receptions to receivers, though, so that caps Cooks is

1368
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: upside of B grade. There cooper up as a C

1369
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: grade among rams receivers. He's third in targets, but he's

1370
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: first in red zone targets at three per game. So

1371
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: the bid is here. He's he scores, He's a he's

1372
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: a vulture, basically a vulture receiver. He scores touchdowns. He

1373
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: doesn't give you a lot of other things um, and

1374
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: he draws a tough matchup with a very strong slot

1375
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: cornerback Desmond King Robert Woods, also a C grade. Woods

1376
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: is average nine targets a game, but has Um hasn't

1377
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: really caught on here because he's catching his fifty of

1378
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: his passes on those nine targets. The most struggling troubling

1379
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: part for Woods is they just don't throw them at

1380
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: all in the red zone, and so touchdowns have to

1381
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 1: come at distance, and that's not a sure thing, especially

1382
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: when you're covered by maybe the best coverage cornerback in

1383
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: the league, Casey Hayward. Let's go to Chicago taking on Arizona.

1384
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Brian gonna be fast. David Johnson ce uh this offensive

1385
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: line against the Bears. It's gonna be bad days for

1386
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Bears allowing just six four rushing yards and

1387
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: ten receiving yards per games. Running back so just to

1388
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: see for David Johnson in standard leagues, maybe even bench,

1389
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: but now I'm gonna say that he's a cee Larry

1390
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald to see, uh he will play. Chicago has giving

1391
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 1: up two d nineteen yards a game and four touchdowns

1392
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: and wide receivers, so some hope for fits, but not really. Uh,

1393
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: that's it for Arizona over to Chicago. I'm giving Jordan

1394
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: Howard in a already mentioned how the Cardinals have allowed

1395
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty five red zone touches to running back so far,

1396
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight touches per dame to opposing running backs, and

1397
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: for that reason, Trek Cohen it was gonna take a

1398
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: chance on the runner. There will be some table scraps

1399
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: for him here. For the past catchers, I will give

1400
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson in a even though this is gonna be

1401
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: a ball control game for Chicago, targeted ten times in

1402
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the first half last week, and uh, Patrick Peterson's shadowing

1403
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 1: days are over, especially in the slot. A. Rob moves

1404
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 1: all over the field. He ran out of the slot

1405
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot last week, so will avoid Peterson. I like

1406
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: him a lot in this game. Anthony Miller and Taylor

1407
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: Gabriel home run potential but far too risky right now.

1408
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: They're on the bench. Trey Burton, I will give a

1409
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: see only a target share of fifteen percent so far,

1410
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: which is weird, very weird. He was missed wide open

1411
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone in Week one or Week two,

1412
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: I forget which one. What was a week one? Week

1413
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 1: one goes up against the Cardinals defense that has given

1414
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 1: up just seven catches to tight ends, but it's one

1415
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: of four defenses to allow multiple tight end touchdowns so far.

1416
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: So he gets the sea and sad drown bone ski.

1417
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I'll put him on the bench this this week, even

1418
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 1: though I think they might let him air it out

1419
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, you know, probably to get some

1420
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: meaningful reps, but they're just not gonna need the throw really,

1421
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: So he's on the bench. I predicted on a PA

1422
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: show yesterday. I'll make the same prediction here. Josh Rosen

1423
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: will be your starter next week, and Sam Bradford will

1424
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: never start another game in the NFL except due to injury.

1425
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: He will be a career backup from this point going

1426
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: forward if he doesn't just outright just retire on with

1427
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: his money at the end of the year. Uh matt

1428
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Our next matchup Pittsburgh taking on Tampa. Yeah, this is

1429
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the Monday Night er. I have a B grade for

1430
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:48,560
Speaker 1: James Conner. He's been very serviceable, top eight in receptions

1431
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: and receiving yards amongst running backs, and Tampa just gave

1432
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: up big receiving days to both Kamara and Corey Clement

1433
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks. A grades for Antonio Brown

1434
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: and Juju Smith Schuster. Uh, not much really need to

1435
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: say about those guys. C grade for James Washington, though.

1436
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: You can give me a little peacock on this one

1437
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: because he played of the snaps last week and caught

1438
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: a fourteen yard touchdown. He's a desperation Monday night play

1439
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 1: if you need the Monday night huge upside of a

1440
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: guy if he's in your flex spot. Jesse James gets

1441
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: a B grade. The Bucks have allowed the most receptions

1442
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: to tight ends and the second most yards to the position,

1443
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: although they have not allowed to score as of yet.

1444
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: That's about to change pretty soon. With all that said,

1445
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: it's an A grade for Ben Roethlisberger. Tampa's allowed seven

1446
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: seventy three passing yards in the first two weeks. That's

1447
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: the second most in the league, and they were second

1448
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: worst at that last year too. Yeah, I gotta interject

1449
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: because it's just the road numbers are so overwhelmingly bad

1450
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger, and we've got such a long detailed

1451
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: list of of failures on the road over three years.

1452
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: Last three years, he averages one point one touchdowns per

1453
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: game on the road. And that's Trevor Simeon is one

1454
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: his career one point one touchdowns per game. You're getting

1455
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon on the road. He doesn't get to play

1456
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay on the road except for once every eight years. Look,

1457
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: I understand in Tampa Bays secondary is an utter mess.

1458
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: Everything else suggests an absolute A start. It's just we've

1459
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: been burned with him on the road so many times.

1460
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: I think you have to address that because that's overwhelmingly

1461
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: the difference between whether or not you get good Ben

1462
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: or bad men. Alright, Well, I have another quarterback with

1463
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: an A start. That's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Because since losing Ryan Shazir,

1464
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers have allowed twenty nine points per game over

1465
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: a seven games game span. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the pumpkin

1466
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: spiced latte of the NFL because ladies love him. Most

1467
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: people don't think he's that good. He's seasonal, but a

1468
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: lot of people are really into him when he's here.

1469
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: So Ryan Fitzpatrick, he's an A right now. Mike Evans,

1470
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: he's an A grade. Deshan Jackson gets a big Chris

1471
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: Godwin even gets to see d jacks has caught all

1472
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: nine of his targets this season for two seventy five

1473
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. Godwin only round seventeen routes last week,

1474
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: but he still leads the Bucks in targets inside the town,

1475
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: so he still gets a C start grade. O J.

1476
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: Howard also getting a C start. He had the big

1477
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: play last week. He's had zero red zone targets this

1478
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: year though, that's concerning. But Travis Kelsey just ding the

1479
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Steelers for a hundred and nine yards and two touchdowns.

1480
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: And finally Peyton Barber in that running game. That's a

1481
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: disaster that's on the bench. Let's go to the final

1482
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: game for this show, Sunday Nighter, New England Detroit. Brady

1483
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: Gronk and Hogan obvious a plays Hogan P two, particularly

1484
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 1: if Darius Slay, Lions cornerback does not go, which is expected.

1485
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: Philip dorsetto also startable here. The Jaguars shut him down,

1486
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: which is understandable, but remember he was Tom Brady's most

1487
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: targeted wide receiver in Week one. And again, if Slay

1488
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: doesn't go, door sets absolutely a a plausible play for

1489
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: you at a B grade, and he would go up

1490
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: against Slave's backup Jamal agg Knew. I'd rather go up,

1491
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: and I think they're better off of Spiro Agnew. Let's

1492
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: go to the running backs because I think there's good

1493
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: plays here. Rex Burke had particular. I like, teams are

1494
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: rushing the ball thirty two times per game against Detroit,

1495
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: and why not when they're giving up five point six

1496
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: yards per carry, second worse in the NFL, and they're

1497
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 1: dead last in rushing yards per game by a mile

1498
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 1: at one eighty. So Burkehead gets a B start. Sony

1499
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Michelle gets a C start. Only thirteen plays last week

1500
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: for Michelle, but you figure that expands here in his

1501
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: second start, and the Patriots could get way ahead and

1502
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: just give Michelle some extra reps. He's startable. See start

1503
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: for Sony Michelle. Josh Gordon's on the bench. He's got

1504
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. Don't even know if he'll be active,

1505
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:34,799
Speaker 1: and even if he does, how much of the playbook

1506
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: can he know? Let's go to Detroit. Matthew Stafford a start,

1507
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: if nothing else, by volume, that'll help him a lot.

1508
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Last week, the Jaguars beat the Patriots by asking Blake

1509
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: Bortles to throw the ball forty five times. Stafford's averaging

1510
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: fifty four passes per game, so the volume will be

1511
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: there for Stafford, and his best receiving option is Golden Tate.

1512
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: Potentially a ton of balls coming his way. He's got

1513
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: an easy matchup with Jonathan Jones out of the slot

1514
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: in safety, Hatrick Chung won't be able to help him out.

1515
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 1: He is out as well, and Chung picks up a

1516
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: lot of slot duty. Last week, the Jaguars targeted slot

1517
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 1: receiver d D Westbrook nine times after Patrick Chung left

1518
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: the game. You think we'd go out of our way

1519
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: to get the nine times in, but we really don't.

1520
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones has got a. Has got a is a

1521
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: true game time decision. So watch him. And he's got

1522
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: the only difficult assignment out of this group. He gets

1523
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: New England's best cornerback, Stephon Gilmore. He drops down to

1524
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 1: a C grade and Kenny Golladay a B grade. He

1525
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: The corner who would normally cover Golliday is Eric Row.

1526
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: He's questionable. He may not play. Plus Rose benched halfway

1527
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: through last week's game. Jason mccordy, backup caliber player who

1528
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: that wasn't good enough to be a Titan last year,

1529
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: will replace him if he can't go. I like Kenny

1530
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: Golladay with a B grade. Lastly, Kerrie on Johnson we

1531
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: talked about him earlier. Non factor to this point, but

1532
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a sneaky PPR play because his snap count and receptions

1533
01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: are increasing and this is a good opportunity for team

1534
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: that's going to have to pass throughout for the first

1535
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: time in this show. We have fumbled so badly that

1536
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: we did not get to any lightning round calls. I

1537
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: am sorry. They can tweet them to us. Yeah, bt X,

1538
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: J is Brian, explosive output is is Matt. I'm sorry.

1539
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: It's just bad clock management our our part. We do have, however,

1540
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: a um bye week next week. We'll do better next

1541
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: week with one less game and so apologies on that front.

1542
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: It's never happened in the history of the show and

1543
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: hopefully will never happen again. Rich Jeremy Ben Tommy, I

1544
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: know you're holding a long time. I'm sorry about that.

1545
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,839
Speaker 1: The podcast going up when Tony already been built, already

1546
