00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: a long time writer of ours at Guillotine Leagues dot

00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: com and a Chop podcast contributor Jeff Moss. Hey, Jeff, Hey,

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm doing great. It is um. This

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: is a this is a long show with the storied history.

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: We don't want to freak you out, but we want

00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: we want you. We're very excited to have have some

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: new blood. Honestly, Scott and Matty was getting old and

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's just best to get some new,

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: fresh perspective in here. I was this worry you're gonna

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: bring in Colin mccockney a full time No, that's reason

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: to leave the podcast. One segment a year is about

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: as much Colin mccockney as anybody can handle. I think,

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: over the course of the show. We will answer three

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: tough questions. We will give you nine players upon whom

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: you can take a chance, and we will unveil this

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: week's premature speculation players. These are players who want to

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: pick up this week that everybody else three trying to

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: pick up next week. I misfired on my buttons that

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: here's the time machine, now, can you use that to

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: go back in time and fix fix that hitting the

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: wrong button? I'd really I'd like to do that on

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: the time machine sounder, and I'll brag about last week's

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: premature speculation, although I will everybody racing to the waiver

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: wire to pick up Curtis Samuel now because he's active.

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: We told you it was going to go exactly this way,

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and sheared off last week. We have we urge you

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: to pick him up days in advance. Hopefully you did.

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Arizona taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Jeff,

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull the band aid off, give you your

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: first matchup right off the bat. I pull the band

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: aid off right away. Okay, uh, We'll jump right into

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Merly. This is his toughest matchup of the year.

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: He the Rams have allowed just two touchdown passes in

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: three games, including taking Brady down last week. The Rams

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: have great secondary depth, and you know he got Ramsey

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: on a dingdap, Hopkins. I mean he hasn't run for

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: more than twenty yards in any of the four games

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: against him. We can't bench your start. I mean it's

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Merley, you can't. You can't bench him. But I

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: mean this is his this is his toughest matchup for

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: the year. So I mean I'd have to downgrade him

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: to a b uh Chase Edmonds. I give him a

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: sea only because he does what he does. He's gonna

51
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: cobble together some kind of a ten point TPR game.

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams of the second ranked rush defense. Uh,

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't get the ball to stripe. It's

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: just you know, and that's and that goes to James Conner.

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you know who does James Conner might

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back from last week

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: to the touchdowns. Where's that peacock at charts? Come on?

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: Uh this week? Yeah, don't take a chance on Connor

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: this week. This this matchup just is awful for him. Uh, Hopkins,

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him a bee even though he's

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: dinged up obviously, and his history with Jalen Ramsey, I

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: mean even back to their days and the Texans and Jaguars,

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: he I couldn't find more than eighty yards in any

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: game that he played against with against Ramsey, so and

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: obviously he's struggling with with the injury, so I wouldn't

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: give him more than a B. The rest of Christian

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Kirk and Rondale Moore in a J. Green. We saw

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: what happened last week rond Dale Morey when I picked

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: up up and Kirk and Green with the guys who

70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: picked up a hundred yards. I mean, if I had

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: to pick one of out out of there, I would

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: pick kirk Um. But again the Ram's got great depth

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: in the secondary, so you know, I maybe Kirk is

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the guy I would give a C too. If I

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: had to pick one of them, well you do, it's your,

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: this is yours, this is your and then do that

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: that's the guy and pick it up. I take him

78
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Max Williams, he actually could be a streamer for you.

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: This week. The Rams so far forty two yards allowed

80
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: to Cole commit sixty four to Jack Doel, and they

81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: give up all over a hundred yards last week to

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: the three Tampa tight ends. So if you're at a

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: pinch for a tight end, Max Williams, maybe your guy here,

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: he may pick up a little bit. I mean he's

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: kind of come out of nowhere. Pretty much everyone's in

86
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: a pinch of tight end outside of three people in

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: your league. Matt Stafford, obviously he's an a. He's he's

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: just been so good there. The Rams line ranked second

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: class in past blocking by Pro Football Focus. They're just

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: three sacks and five hits. And to him in the

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: three games, Rob Alford, Byron Murphy and Marco Wilson, I

92
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: don't think they're cousin him to lose a whole lot

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: of sleep. So, I mean, he's a pretty obvious Cooper

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Cup to start him. There's no NFC player Offensive Player

95
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: of the there's just start him, Robert Woods. And there

96
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: may be some disagreement here, I'm gonna give him a

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him a B because is my

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: thought is that after watching last week's Tampa game, the

99
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: first thing out of Matthew Stafford's head was I need

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: to get Robert Woods more involved in this game. And

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: it seems to me that he just he's gonna look

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: and see. Okay, well, this here's a guy who in

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: his uh I believe he's played eight games against the Cardinals.

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't. He's in only one game. He's had less

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: than five catches and fifty yards. He has a good

106
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: history against them, so I I personally some people are

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: thinking of getting rid of him. Now there are people

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: dropping Robert. Well, they gotta get Robert Woods more involved

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: in Breakfast because it's the Breakfast Club of Cooper Clubs

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford and it's working out pretty well. Uh.

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: First Cooper Tyler Higby, I I would give him at

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: least a see here because he's played the snaps. I

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: saw people dropping him after week to I'm like, what

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: you know? And he came back last week. I said,

115
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to be involved here. Darrell Henderson,

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: the interesting guy he's now in. I give him a be.

117
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: The Cardinals defense is set up to foot to a

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: rush the quarterback. They're not set up for the run.

119
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: That they have the third worst ranked past run defense

120
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: from Pro pro Football Focus. You know, the full fourth

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: most rushing yards. Their their defense is built to stop

122
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: the run. And yeah, he's got the rib injury, just

123
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: like like like DeAndre Hopkins. But you know, and I

124
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys think of this. My personal

125
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: belief is that I believe Sean McVeigh when he says

126
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: that Darryl Henderson's guy. I know he gave Sony Mitchelly

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: showed last week that he trusted him. I think Darrell

128
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Henderson's guy. So he's healthful, I think he I think

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: he gives him most of the work. Sony Walkman repaid

130
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: that trust with about two yards per carry, so you know,

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: not worried about him, factory you personally. He had a

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: hell of a pass block though. That that's always a

133
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: good sign. I want to join that league, the past

134
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: block league, all right, think that's everything for that matchup, right, Yep,

135
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that's it, all right, Brian, Let's go over to the Lions.

136
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: Kind of a dud game last week, but another opportunity

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: against the Bears defense that's not as good as recent versions. Yeah,

138
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: and the Bears defense won't be very good at all,

139
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: or definitely not as good without Kleil Mack, who is

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: uh nursing a foot injury right now, very questionable practice

141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: on a limited basis on Friday, had not practiced throughout

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: the week before that, so we'll go under the assumption

143
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: he will play. So we'll start with DeAndre Swift. Give

144
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: him a b U. Swift currently RB three in PPR

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: right now, mostly because of the receiving averaging more than

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: six receptions per game. Only eleven carries per game for Swift, though,

147
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: but UH coach Dan Campbell recently said We're going to

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: see a lot more of Swift. He also said something

149
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: about like biting off kneecaps too. Haven't seen that yet,

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: So to take of the grain of salt, we're gonna

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: talk more about DeAndre Swift later in this year. We

152
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: certainly will. Either way. It's a decent matchup for Swift.

153
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: The Bears are allowing nearly one fifty combo yards per

154
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: game to running backs. Cleveland running backs just totaled eight

155
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: catches against Chicago last week, and for that reason, I'm

156
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: still giving a starting grade to Jamal Williams. Gonna give

157
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: him a CEE averaging fourteen opportunities per game. An opportunity

158
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: is a rush or a target. UH to the eighteen

159
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: opportunities from Swift, so nearly a timeshare. Again, we might

160
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: see more DeAndre swift, But why would you run swift

161
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: so much in a pretty much a lost season already

162
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: for the Lions. So I'm still starting Jamal Williams this

163
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: week against the Bears. Again said they are allowing more

164
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: than fifty compley yards per game to running back, so

165
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I like both in this one. You gotta like t J.

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Hockinson even though he was arguably the biggest dud of

167
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: all duds last week. The Bears have only allowed nine

168
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: tight end catches on thirteen targets, but man, Hockinson is

169
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: not really a tight end. He's running over sixty of

170
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: his routes from the slot. He's essentially a wide receiver.

171
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: The Bears have a very poor secondary, and Hockinson had

172
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: two very good games against the Bears last year, five

173
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: catches for fifty four yards in a touchdown in the

174
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: first meeting than seven catches for eighty four yards in

175
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: the second. So a safe b for t J. Hockenson.

176
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Uh Now, to the wide receiver is not very safe

177
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: at all. It's really calif Raymond and Quintessis. So the

178
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Bears are top eight and yards and touchdowns allowed to

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: receivers in terms of the most five touchdowns to the

180
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: positions in three games, but deciphering which Lions wide receiver

181
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: to use here is pretty tough. Seas had fourteen targets

182
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: for the first through the first two games, but saw

183
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: just one target last week. Cliff Raymond total just six

184
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: targets for the first two weeks, but last week he

185
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: saw ten targets and caught six of them. And I

186
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of like him because he runs out of the slot,

187
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: and the slot has been a disaster position for the

188
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Bears all season, and so nobody's gonna start Cliff Raymond.

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you this, the opportunity is there for

190
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: a decent game this week year. If I had to

191
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: pick one, it is Raymond. I'm gonna give him a

192
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: ce uh se fist. I guess the sea as well.

193
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: But only one of these guys is probably gonna produce,

194
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: And I like, I'm with you, charge it's a Cliff

195
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: Raymond for me. As for Jared Goff, got to put

196
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging less than

197
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: thirty pass attempts per game against the Bears, and just

198
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: at the thought of golf on the road in Chicago,

199
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't like it too much. In one quarterback League's

200
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: easy bench. Now, when it comes to an easy bench

201
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: or an easy start, it's certainly doesn't speak to the

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears quarterback situation, where it's going to be a

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: game time decision by Matt Nagy's crafty. The Lions won't

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: know what hit him. But when he unveils the smartest

205
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: in the room, just as I mean, Andy Dalton has

206
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: dinged up, Justin Fields has dinged up. It could be

207
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, whoever it is, I would, by the way,

208
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: if Dawnon's not ready, I'd play Foles at this point.

209
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm all about preserving Justin Fields and keeping him as

210
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: far from from Matt Nagy as possible. I'm worried is

211
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna wreck his career? Absolutely yeah, I mean you really

212
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: doesn't need a game manager against the Lions, for for

213
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: the most part, who are allowing more than passing yards

214
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: and two passing touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. I'm

215
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna give a C two whoever starts at quarterback for

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: the for the Bears, if it's Justin Fields, uh, sadly,

217
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: just to see for Allan Robinson as well a brutal

218
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: start to the year, a healthy free target share percentage,

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: but it is currently set in the second in receiving

220
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: yards per game at eight point seven. But if there's

221
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: a spot to get right, it's against Detroit. Opposing wide

222
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: receivers are averaging a hundred and eighty yards per game

223
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: as a whole. A. Rob had nearly identical games against

224
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: the Lions last year, five catches for seventy four yards

225
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: and then six catches for seventy five yards. Hopefully that

226
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: is his floora here. If it's not, we might be

227
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: talking about sabotage dropping Allen Robinson next week. So he

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: better come through against the Lions. I'm not expecting Darnielle

229
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Mooney to come through, even he might not even play.

230
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: But even if he does, he's on the bench. He's

231
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: just not a good fit with Andy Dalton or pretty

232
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: much anyone at this point. He plays quarterback for the Bears.

233
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: I do like Cole Commet. They're gonna give him a

234
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: CE just two catches across his last two games. Kind

235
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: of brutal. But the Lions are allowing eighty two yards

236
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: per game to tight ends, which is the third most,

237
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: and commit had five catches, thirty seven yards and and

238
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown in his last meeting with Detroit. So we

239
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: see for commit and I men give David Montgomery and

240
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: a looking like a true bell cow after playing of

241
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: the Snaps last week, Monty had two rushing touchdowns at

242
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: his last meeting with the Lions. Detroit has already surrendered

243
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: six total touchdowns running back, So a safe a for

244
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: David Montgomery based on volume alone. Chiefs take on the

245
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: Eagles and you know what to do with Mahomes and

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey. Obvious a's against a secondary that was

247
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: just dissected by Dak Prescott on Monday night, and in

248
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: that game they ran at will against the Eagles. But

249
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Despair is a totally different back than the

250
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: kind that just ran through the Eagles. Did have a

251
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: fumble last week, but he also posted his strongest running

252
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: game maybe ever, um, but that game did come across

253
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: come against the league's lowest ranked run defense, giving up

254
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the most yards the Chargers, and stylistically, you know, ch

255
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: is just a different kind of runner than the guys

256
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that have had success against the Eagles. So I'm not

257
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: still not crazy about him here. And the other thing

258
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: is Andy Read doesn't care about establishing momentum for Clyde

259
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Edwards a layer the game after getting one hundred yards

260
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: throughout Clyde Edwards Hilaire's career, when he's had one yards

261
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: the next game, he's averaged nine carries. That's it. You mean,

262
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: if you're Andy Reid, you think you'd want to get

263
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: your kid going, but he's never done that in the past.

264
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: And obviously the rare coaching revenge game for Andy Reid

265
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: going up kind of. I mean, you know, it's been

266
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty years or something. C grade for Clyde Edwards, despair

267
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: HARTMTT Robinson, Pringle on the bench way to scatter shot

268
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: for me and Josh Gordon. No dice, not yet, not ever.

269
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Eagles side of this game. Miles Sanders,

270
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: so the B grade he's gonna bounce back after basically

271
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: being forgotten last week. Doug Peterson did he forget he

272
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: was on roster last week? I mean, he averaged thirteen

273
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry, so that was pretty good.

274
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: It was pretty good through two carries. The Chiefs have

275
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: given up at least nine d Combo yards to every

276
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: lead back they've faced, and they've also allowed five touchdowns

277
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: to running backs already. They are the worst run defense

278
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: in the league by a wide margin according to Pro

279
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: Football Focus, and the Eagles offensive line has provided Sanders

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: with four point four yards per carry before contact. That's

281
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: awfully impressed. When you get four and a half yards

282
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: before everybody's touching you, you're sitting on a good game.

283
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Bounce back coming for Miles Sanders with a B grade here.

284
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: I like him in this setup. Let's go to the

285
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: passing game where Jalen Hurts bounces back as well. In

286
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: the past two games, Kansas Cities allowed monster performances on

287
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: the ground and through the air. Lamar Jackson h yard

288
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: game against Casey, Justin Herbert four touchdown passing game against

289
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Casey one way or another or both. Justin Hurts is

290
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna get it done here, Jalen Hurt, Excuse me, Here's

291
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: something I have not typed or uttered in years. The

292
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Eagles receivers are better than their defensive counterparts. Even with

293
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon now on Kansas City. I'm in defensive counterparts

294
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Jalen reagor Quez, Watkins and divide to Smith are playing

295
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: at a higher level than the Chiefs. Cornerbacks cher Various Ward,

296
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Legarius Sneed, and Mike Hughes, who have Pro Football Focus

297
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: rankings of and so that is overall a positive set

298
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: of matchups for Hurts. Obviously, I like the receivers as well,

299
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: A B grade by the way, it hurts a B

300
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: grade on DeVonta Smith. Chiefs have allowed back to back

301
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: one h yard receivers and four touchdowns two receivers in

302
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the past two games alone. Um Smith, where he runs

303
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: is going to see a lot of cher various ward

304
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: if he can even play, and it's an exploitable matchup.

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Smith averaging a healthy seven targets per game, and they're

306
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: throwing to him downfield. He just needs one of these

307
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: deep downfield ones that hit Jalen Reagor gets to see Ben.

308
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: He started the season catching a lot of underneath balls

309
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: that's expanded a little bit more downfield. I love his

310
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: matchup against Mike Hughes when that one pops up, which

311
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: it will from time to time. And then Quiz Watkins

312
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: also a C grade. He's only averaging two point five

313
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: targets per game, so there's a to of risk here,

314
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: but he draws Legarius sneed second year player who has

315
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: allowed one percent of the passes in his coverage to

316
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: be completed. So we like Quez Watkins a lot in

317
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: this game as well. And let's wrap up with the

318
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: tight ends. Dallas Goddard has been a monster after the catch,

319
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: ranking second best among tight ends at ten yards after

320
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: the catch. He's got a positive matchup with the Chiefs,

321
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: who are surrendering nearly eighty yards per game to the position.

322
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: So I like Dallas Goddard here. Zachers used to be

323
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: at something. Now he's nothing. He's uh good game last week,

324
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: but the prior two weeks were one and two catch games.

325
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: So we're we're gonna avoid zach Ertz when we come back.

326
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: Nine players upon whom you can take a chance. We'll

327
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we return Fantasy Football Weekly.

328
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Walcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly a segment we call

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. These are nine players not

330
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup. Many of these guys are

331
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire right now. In fact, one

332
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: of mine definitely is, and another one of mine maybe

333
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: we started the quarterback position. Jeff, who have you got?

334
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: I got Sam Donald? He we know the McCaffrey injury.

335
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Donald has been averaging two yards through the air and

336
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: has three rushing touchdowns. Now, some of that threat could

337
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: have come from McCaffrey. But one thing here, Dallas has

338
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. To all

339
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: the talk of you know that the Tampa all these

340
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: passing large yards they've allowed, Dallas has only allowed three

341
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: fewer passing yards than Tampa. So you know, Brady and

342
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: air Bear and Hurts, they all went for over three

343
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: twenty six yards against him. Dallas has only had thirty

344
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: running back carries against them in thirty games. And I

345
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: don't think Chuba Hubbard. I don't think he gets more

346
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: than fifteen touches. I don't think they're gonna try and

347
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: grind it out with him like they might with McCaffrey,

348
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: to try and get things going. Both Tampa and the

349
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: Chargers had a pair of receivers have a huge games

350
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: against him, and then last week we saw on the

351
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: second half what they did with with with Jalen Hurts,

352
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: all the points he put up in the second half.

353
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: So Sam Donald's my guy. Yeah, I kind of like

354
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: it that that Dallas defensive line a disaster right now.

355
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: So Sam Donalds should have some extra time in the pocket. Brian,

356
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: you'll take a chance I mean quarterback. No Dan Arnold

357
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: for it hurts. I'll bring him up later. He's for

358
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: Donald will be all right. I got Ben Roethlisberger at

359
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: Green Bay unfortunately, also known as has been sauceless Burger. Um.

360
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: I can't take credit for that. I just merged two

361
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: nicknames together. Um, but big nobody was giving you credit. Alright, good? Uh,

362
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: No one should give Ben Roethlisberger. He shouldn't be getting

363
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: a paycheck for the Steelers. So as so far this

364
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: year looked horrible. Twitter reminds Ben of that every day.

365
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: But he gets his best wide receiver back this week

366
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: in Deante Johnson. He might lose Chase Clay Claypool. We'll

367
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: talk about that later. But the Packers have allowed the

368
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns so far with nine Kevin King thank

369
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: you know nine times? Button bar there. Yes, five went

370
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston, but Jared Goff and Jimmy Garoppolo put

371
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: up around two h fifty yards and two passing touchdowns,

372
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: numbers that Roethlisberger should replicate against the Packers team that

373
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: will presumably put up points at home. Taylor, Heineke goes

374
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: up against the Falcons. Falcons are destroyed by Jalen Hurts

375
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady before stopping Daniel Jones last week. But

376
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones lost his number two and three receivers in

377
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: that game, so that does not count. In total. Falcons

378
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: are allowing two hundred seventy yards and two point seven

379
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game. I will take to seventy and

380
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: two point seven out of Taylor. Heineke. Uh, Heineke has

381
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: decent wheels. Jalen Hurts ran for sixty two rushing yards

382
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: against these Falcons. Maybe he gets some part of that

383
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: as well. Let's go to running back position. Jeff I

384
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: got Naive Hines. Last week. He had twelve touches. First

385
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: week he had fifteen. The second week he was un involved.

386
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: But remember Marlon Mack was active that week. So uh,

387
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: Seattle is the only team that has a lot more

388
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: fantasy points to running backs. Uh. Their line is an

389
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: absolute mass. To think Taylor is going to get a

390
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of carries here, I you know, I don't

391
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: think so. And so far. The just one other note, Miami,

392
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: they've given up their second allowed in fantasy points. Like

393
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: I said, Damien Harris, David Devin Single, Terry Zack Moss

394
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: and Peyton Barber where the running backs they faced in

395
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: that And just one other note, Hines last week he

396
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: outtouched Taylor in red zone snaps four to one last week. Yeah,

397
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: and so you look at this week and how this

398
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: whole thing unfolds. I think that he is. I think

399
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good start. All right, Brian, You're take

400
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. I got the Jets

401
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Michael Carter at home versus the Titans. Carter currently ranked

402
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: second among all running backs and missed tackles forced per touch.

403
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: He just needs more touches, but it appears those wheels

404
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: were putting motion. Last week. Carter outtouched thy Johnson eleven

405
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: to four. Uh Ti. Johnson did out target Carter five

406
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: to three, but Johnson only had one catcher six yards.

407
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Carter finished with more catches too. But the Titans are

408
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: a decent matchup, allowing nearly one thirty Combo yards per

409
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: game to running backs and three rushing touchdowns to the

410
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: position over their last two games. So it's Michael Carter time.

411
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I know. Zach Molls is pretty obvious now with three

412
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last two games, but another juicy matchup

413
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: on the slate. Here, Texans are allowing the eighth most

414
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: rushing and receiving yards to opposing backs, good for one

415
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: hundred fifty three total yards per game. So even if

416
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: Zack mosson only gets half of a hundred fifty three yards,

417
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: he's already sitting on a pretty good game. There should

418
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: be plenty to go around here. I'll I'll give the

419
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: upside of Moss because he gets touchdowns. Singletary has seen

420
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: his snap share, his yards per carry, and his targets

421
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: decrease in every game, while Moss has seen his increase

422
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: in every game. So the friends here lead to a

423
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: big game from Zack moss All right, let's go to

424
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: the receivers. Jeff, I got Nelson Aghelor. I think he's

425
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: on a big game here. Last week Mac Jones with

426
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: what was going on? Thirty targets to Jacoby Myers, Kendrick Bourne,

427
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: and him. He's played over the snaps every game. Tampa

428
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: games have averaged sixty four points a game. So and

429
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: last year when he was with the Raiders against Tampa,

430
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: five catches a hundred and seven yards in a touchdown.

431
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: So I at that Tampa secondaries in such bad shape.

432
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: There was dressing Richard Sherman off the street for this one. So,

433
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: and you can't run on the box. No, that's that's

434
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: just it. And so I like him out of that group.

435
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: I like him to have a have a good game here, Brian,

436
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: you take a chance of me receiver. Uh? Going back

437
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: to the Jets and Braxton Barrios against the Titans. Now, yes,

438
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: this is all about the revenge game for Corey Davis.

439
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. But Elijah Moore has been

440
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: ruled out for New York. Jamison Crowder is supposed to

441
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: make his debut, but he's nursing a groin injury. I'm

442
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: not trusting the groin. I don't know what kind of

443
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: shape he's gonna be in. So I'm all about Barrios

444
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: here against the Titans, who are allowing more than fifteen

445
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: catches and two hundred twenty yards per game to wide receivers.

446
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee has also yielded the second most red zone targets

447
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: and the most goal to go touches to opposing wide receivers,

448
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: so it's no surprise they have surrendered six touchdowns to

449
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: the position already. Braxon Burrios, Let's do it, uh, same

450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: game might take a chance to me receiver Nick Westbrook.

451
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,239
Speaker 1: I hinna with w That's exactly what I thought when

452
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: I thought, Yes, Julio Jones and A J. Green have

453
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: been ruled out of this game and Nick Westbrook, I

454
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: ken Hey will be the starter for Tennessee. He played

455
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: seventy of the snaps last week filling in for Brown

456
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: and led the team and targets receiving yards, and he

457
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: succored a touchdown last week legitimate sleeper against a beatable

458
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: but not terrible Jets secondary. Jets run defense has been shaky.

459
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of Derrick Henry in this game.

460
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: But ultimately that may just put the even position to

461
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: help throw another short touchdown to Nick Westbrook. I can hey.

462
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: Jets corners are a bland affair. Uh. Michael Carter, Bryce Hall,

463
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: and Brandon eccles ranked seventy three at their positions by

464
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. Now, one thing I will throw him

465
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: though he had that he had that fumble after the touchdown.

466
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, a young guy like that, when he does

467
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: something like that, you know next game. I I looked

468
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: for him to bounce back just like you know, I'd

469
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: like him as well. That would be we would take

470
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the bounce back game. That would be great. Here, Uh,

471
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: let's work in a matchup into this segment, Colts taking

472
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. Jeff, you already told us that you

473
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: that you like Nihim Hinds. So let's flip this over

474
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: and let's talk about Jonathan Taylor and what to expect

475
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: from him in this matchup without two starting offensive lineman

476
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: for the all offensive lineman. Yeah, and actually he popped

477
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: up on the injury report too. Now, I don't you know,

478
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything about him not playing or being limited,

479
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: but boy, you know he's he's tagged right now with

480
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and and uh Derrick Henry the third team

481
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: red zone touches. Like we said, but you know, in

482
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: this game, with how this thing whole unfolds, it's hard

483
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: to think that that he may not even eclipse what

484
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: Hinz does in this game. My opinion is I'll still

485
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: give him a bee because Miami is allowing so many

486
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: points to running backs. But I just, you know, thinking

487
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: that he's gonna come up with one of those games

488
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know, Carson Wentz, he's on the bench,

489
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: just you should always be on the bench. He just

490
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: he's no good. Michael Pittman though his his only one,

491
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: only target, I'm going to give him a bee. The

492
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins just allowed three different raiders to come up with

493
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards last week. His last two games, he's

494
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: averaged twelve targets, seven catches and ninety five yards. Yeah,

495
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: as long as as long as they can keep them

496
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: away from Xavian Howard. I think he puts up another

497
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: good game here, I mean, and the rest of everybody.

498
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: There's Zach Pascale, the tight ends whatever I mean know,

499
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Zach pascal scored the first game Pittman, Jack Doyle week

500
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: two had sixty four yards. Other than that, no other

501
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: receiver or tight end on their entire rosters had over

502
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: forty three yards in any game. So it's just not

503
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: good U from Miami, Jacoby Brissette, I have him on

504
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: the bench. Although the Colts have allowed the fifth most

505
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers, including seven touchdowns that didn't

506
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: even account for A. J. Brown and Julio Jones going out,

507
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: He's not going to throw fifty passes again, But I

508
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: still will give Jalen Waddle a b here. He's had

509
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: three pretty good PPR games in a row and uh

510
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: Mike is sicky. Well, you know I give him a

511
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: B because he's even a more glorified uh tight end

512
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: than uh T J. Hockenson if I read this correctly.

513
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: He's run or nine of his routes in coverage, a

514
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: percent of his snaps in coverage. He almost is never blocking,

515
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: so he he Actually, you know these two guys, they

516
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: they gave the old Reggie Bush last week. I mean,

517
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: nobody could make a catches into thirty yards like Reggie Bush.

518
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: But Davante Parker I actually put a sea on him.

519
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: He's seen three targets in each game. So if you

520
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: need somebody you know that's a fill in or something,

521
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: it will follow. One of my favorite guys. But he's

522
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: he's supposed to play this week. He well he played

523
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: last week, but he's fully healthy now he's off. Yeah,

524
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: he was often rock in is out at cornerback. I

525
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: think I think Will Fuller is a sneak, and you

526
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: know that I love Will Fuller. He's one of my guys.

527
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: It just with this, you know, throw the ball three

528
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: yards that they're doing. I you know, I'll give him

529
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: a see because I just because I love him for

530
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: the running game, Miles gask and I can only give

531
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: him a scene. I want to give him more. He's

532
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: averaged over five yards per carrying all three games. He's

533
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: second and broken tackles per carry. Chris Carson, Darryl Henderson,

534
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry all put up solid games on the Colts,

535
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: but they did just lose their starting center Michael Dieter.

536
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: And we saw Malcolm Brown last week and he got

537
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: of the snapslast again was one who scored and in

538
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: the red zone. Malcolm Brown is out touched Miles Gaskin

539
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: four to one. I just wish they'd like Miles Gaskin more.

540
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: He's a good football player, but I can only give

541
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: him a see. And Malcolm Brown, who's speculative on the

542
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: bench just because you don't know that we're not starting

543
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown, Jason last week's touchdown. Let's to work in

544
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: one more quick matchup if we ken Brian, because I

545
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot to say about the Texans

546
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: and a really tough matchup. No Bills, definitely not bench

547
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: all the running backs for Houston. Opposing running backs were

548
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: averaging just eighteen touches in ninety two combo yards per

549
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: game against the Bills. An easy bench for any Texans

550
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: running back. Brandon Cooks one of the better stories in

551
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: the NFL, especially for the for the Texans so far.

552
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: But just to see and this on this one with

553
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: Davis Mills at quarterback, Cooks has a target share percentage

554
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: of forty three point five per cent, which is sanely high.

555
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: Very good, but what's smart of Davis Mills. By the way,

556
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: if I'm Davis Mills, I'm throwing the ball constantly to

557
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: my best receiver. What is also very good? Or I

558
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: should say who is also very good as trade Davis White,

559
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Bills, who is all but guaranteed to

560
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: shadow Brandon Cooks in this game. White has yet to

561
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: allow a score or more than fifty two yards in

562
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: its coverage this year. It could be a long day

563
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: for Cooks, just to see for him. Everyone else on

564
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: the Texans is on the bench. Anthony Miller, Chris Conney,

565
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. Easy bench for those guys over the Buffalo side.

566
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Zach Mills was your take a chance to me running

567
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: back charge and understandably so I'll give Devin Singletary a

568
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: see here as well. He has taken a back seat

569
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: to Moss, but he should get a chance to produce

570
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: against Houston, who was allowing more than one combo yards

571
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: per game to running backs. A C for single arry.

572
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: If you're needy at running back Stefon Diggs, gonna give

573
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: him an A. Despite the slow start three strang together here,

574
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: you would hope so three straight weeks below seventy yards,

575
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: but he is still averaging more than ten targets per game.

576
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: If Diggs gets that kind of volume against Houston, he'll

577
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: be just fine. Notable wide receivers against the Texans this

578
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: year d J Chark three for eight six and a touchdown,

579
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones five for seventy seven and a touch DJ

580
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Moore at eight for one six last week. All very

581
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: comparable to Diggs, who was pretty much better than all

582
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: those guys. Anyway, uh, Colt Beasley Emmanuel Sanders. Gonna give

583
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: them both a B. Worried the game script could quickly

584
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: favor the Bills run game in this one, though, but

585
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: you gotta give both these guys a starting grade. Beasley

586
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: is second and catches behind only Davante Adams and Cooper

587
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: Cup so far value right now, big time undervalued. He

588
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: also off five of the six red zone targreets among

589
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Bill's wide receivers last week, so a popular target in

590
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: the red zone for Josh Allen. Love Beasy list this week.

591
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I do like Emmanuel Sanders, not as much as Beasley,

592
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: but Sanders played the snaps last week certainly enough to

593
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: make him startable in most formats. Unlike Gabriel Davis, remember

594
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: him he's on the bench. But Dawson Knox tight end

595
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: is not on the bench. Gonna give him a b here.

596
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Knox is blocking way less this year. Has past block

597
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: rating or rate has dropped from six to just four percent.

598
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: Houston has only allowed one touchdown to tight end so far,

599
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: but they have allowed the fourth most fantasy points of

600
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: the position. Makes Knocks a viable start and Josh Allen

601
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: obvious A. I will throw in that Houston has allowed

602
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks. Already love all the receivers

603
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: so easy a Josh Allen, no doubt about it. The

604
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: Vikings just handled the Seattle Seahawks, but a much tougher

605
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: defense on the docket. We'll tell you what to expect

606
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: from Kirk Husins Adam Theland justin Jefferson and our best

607
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: speculation on Dalvin Cook's availability for this game. When we

608
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: return to Fantasy Football Weekly, welcome back the final segment

00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: to play fantasy football. You. Instead of head to head,

614
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: the low scoring team each week gets chopped and all

615
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: their players go to the waiver wire, where it is

616
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: pandemonium for the rest of us as we bit upon

617
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: a bounty of new players. All you have to do

618
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: is not finished last in any given week. Last man

619
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: standing wins. If you ain't last your first that's right.

620
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: It's you don't have to be the fastest antelope getting

621
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: chased by the cheetah. You just have to not be

622
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: the slowest one. That's how the Guillotine Leagues work. We've

623
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: got a block of matchups for you, beginning with Brown's

624
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: taking on the Vikings. Let's start on the brown side.

625
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is an obvious a against the Vikings team,

626
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: giving up almost five yards per carry. Fellow workhorses Joe

627
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Mixon and Chris Carson have already found the end zone

628
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Chubb will as well. Kareem Hunt gets

629
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: a B grade. He's been very effective on the ground.

630
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: He's averaging five and a half yards per carry and

631
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: his seven targets last week was as most as a Brown,

632
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: and he remains heavily involved in the passing game. Vikings

633
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: have allowed a one hundred percent completion rate on throws

634
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: two running backs. How about that, So it's gonna be

635
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: a very nice game for Kareem Hunt. Let's go to

636
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: the passing game. I like Baker Mayfield. Working against Mayfield

637
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: as always is volume. Stefanski loves to run the ball, run,

638
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: and he's throwing the third fewest pass plays just twenty

639
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: six per game, and the second fewest pass play percentage.

640
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: But when Baker throws, he's got plus matchups all over

641
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: the field, and I'm gonna talk about him right now.

642
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: He's got to be grade. Odell Beckham has a B grade.

643
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: Return to last week, and I was at this time

644
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: last week, I was telling people, let's just watch Odell

645
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: Beckham and let's just see how involved he was. Well

646
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: the answer was very involved. He had seven more targets

647
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: than the next closest receiver on the team. He played

648
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: fifty two snaps, so no hesitation on the knee here.

649
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: He played both sides of the field evenly, and he's

650
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: got plus matchups against both Patrick Peterson on the left

651
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: side of the field and especially but Shot Brelan on

652
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: the right side of the field. And to drill down

653
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: on that more, let's talk about the C grade on

654
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones. He hasn't got a lot of volume,

655
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: but he's looked good with the throws he's gotten, and

656
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: his snap counts really high is a very high snap count.

657
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: But most importantly, he predominantly runs his routes on the

658
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: right side of the field with springs back into play.

659
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: But Shot, who has allowed the most receptions of any

660
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: player in the NFL and the most passing touchdowns of

661
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: any player in the NFL. His passer rating allowed in

662
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: his coverage is one point shy of perfect. That's but Shot.

663
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: So that's why Donovan People's Jones is a legitimate sleeper

664
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: this week. Now. I also like all of the tight

665
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: ends and totality for the Browns. The Vikings have allowed

666
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: the six most yards the position. But the problem is

667
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: they use them interchangeably, and you're never gonna know which

668
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: guy to start between Hooper and and Joku or Bryant.

669
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: So I've got them all on the bench unless you're

670
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: playing team tight end, and if you are, you're playing wrong.

671
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Viking side. Dalvin Cook has a

672
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: tricky matchup here. It's not clear if he will be

673
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: the starter or if he will be available, and if

674
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: he is, you have to sweat re injury to his ankle.

675
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: And it's a tough matchup. The brown to allowing the

676
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: fifth fewest rushing yards and the fourth fewest yards per carry.

677
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: They've yet to allow rushing touchdown all year. They drafted

678
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: in the second round linebacker Jeremiah Owusu Corey MAA, and

679
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: he has been awesome. He has Pro Football Focus his

680
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: second highest run defending grade among all linebackers, not just rookies.

681
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: And when I roll all that together, the most I

682
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: can muster for a letter grade on Dalvin Cook is

683
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: a B, and I nearly moved him to a C.

684
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm very worried about all of those elements working against

685
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook in this game. Alexander Madison gets a C

686
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: because I think there's a scenario here where Cook either

687
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: gets hurt or Madison starts or um that they just

688
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: give more work to Madison because he's healthy and effective

689
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: and he looked great last week. Tough matchup though, so

690
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: all all the highest I can give him is a

691
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: C grade. Let's go to the passing game. Kirk Cousins

692
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: has finished as a Kirk Kirk Cousins has finished as

693
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: a top ten fantasy quarterback in nine of his last

694
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: eleven games, the quarterback nobody wanted to draft to draft,

695
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: including all three of his games this year. UM. I

696
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: am nervous about backup right guard turned left tackle Rashad

697
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: Hill trying to contain Miles Garrett fresh off a four

698
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: and a half sack game. And the Browns improved their

699
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: secondary in the off season with free agent Troy Hill.

700
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: First round picked Greg Newsom may not play in this game,

701
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't that helps a lot. We sure

702
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: to watch his status, but I think he goes uh.

703
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: They also got Denzel Ward back from last year's last season.

704
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: There's a good secondary, and obviously they've completely throttled Justin

705
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Fields and Davis Mills, and this Cleveland defense held Patrick

706
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes in check for three of four quarters. I'm nervous

707
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins and I've only got a C grade

708
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: on him for this game. They just remember just the

709
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: Clint Kobeac told us Rashod Hill quote is our guy.

710
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: They don't have a choice. Adam Theland and Justin Jefferson

711
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: get b grays here. Browns have seen three really good

712
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: receivers Tyree Hill, Brandon Cooks, and Allen Robinson. Hill and

713
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Cooks posted monster games. First round cornerback Greg Newsome may

714
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: miss this game, as I mentioned, that will push Greedy

715
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: Williams into a starting role. Um and Williams okay back up,

716
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: But the advantage here would go to Theland and Jefferson

717
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: if he's on the field. Both both Theland Jefferson elite

718
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: route runners, probably two of the five or six best

719
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: in the league, and they earned separation. But I'm just

720
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: not sure that Kirk Cousins is gonna have time to

721
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: do more than throw dump offs and short passes to

722
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: those guys, and it's hard to turn that into fantasy relevancy.

723
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: So just to be grade for them, Tyler Conklin's coming

724
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: off a seven catch game, and you might be inclined

725
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: to start him here, but he's got gluten and elbow injuries,

726
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be asked to block and chip on

727
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. So I'm nervous about him here, and I've

728
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: got a bench grade on him as well. Next matchup,

729
00:37:54,920 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: Carolina taking on Dallas and Cuba. Hubbard make his big

730
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: debut as a starter. I thought he looked very good

731
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: last week, Jeff, what do you think about him against

732
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: a banged up but to this point effective Dallas run defense.

733
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: I agree with you when when he got into the

734
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: game right after mccaffee got hurt, he looked a little

735
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: bit shaky because the game went along, he looked pretty comfortable.

736
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: And then I actually am going I I first thought

737
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: to see, but I'm actually going to move him up

738
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: to a B. I think he touches the ball at

739
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: least fifteen times. Like you said, Dallas's defensive line is

740
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: having problems. Now. Dallas has only had UH team's average

741
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: carrying the ball ten times a game against them, so

742
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: there's not really a very good baseline. But but keep

743
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: in mind the last two games. Austin Nekelar nine carries

744
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: for seventy for sixty one yards and Miles Sanders his

745
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: two carries were twenty seven yards, so established the run

746
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: so exactly. So I I think they're going to use him,

747
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: and I I don't worry at all about Royce Freeman.

748
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: Actually you know he was dragged the piano. He actually

749
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: wasn't bad, but you know he's there for I don't

750
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: think they're going to use him very much. I think

751
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: they go with over. I give him a b, uh Sam,

752
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: and I'll give him a b. He was gona take

753
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: a chance guy. You hear me talk about him. D

754
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: J Moore, I'm still giving him an a. And I

755
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: don't I don't care if it's Trayvon Digs, Stephen Diggs,

756
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: Tay Diggs, I don't care who it is. After the

757
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: trade of Dan Arnold, Sam Donald has targets, has sixty

758
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: five targets to pass catchers, thirty one of them and

759
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: went to DJ Moore and the other thing. Like I

760
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: had mentioned, didn't take a chance. Dallas has given up

761
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: the fourth most passing yards. So yeah, dig Digs has

762
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: three interceptions, they have six as a team. I don't

763
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: shy away from DJ Moore in this one. Robbie Anderson,

764
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm actually not. I've seen people dropping him.

765
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: He's the same as Robert Woods to me. I think

766
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: they watched game film there and said, we gotta get

767
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: this guy the ball. I mean with Teddy Bridgewater, he

768
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: showed he was a really good possession receivers. So I

769
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: would give him a cee. Terrence Mitchell, he's going to

770
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: be involved. I wouldn't start him thirty catches uh, and

771
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: the tight ends after Dan Arnold was gone, they had

772
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: a three combined catches Uh. Nothing Titans or nothing at

773
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: uh for Dallas Dak Prescott, I give him a B.

774
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: I think I think this game turns more into the

775
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: Tampa game the first week he uh uh. We have

776
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: the one caveat here. Carolina has had fourteen sacks already,

777
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: and we know we're gonna talk more about that next segment. Actually,

778
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: and you know with Dallas is what they have going

779
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: off the offensive line now, Justin Burris and j. C. Harmon,

780
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: they're they're both gone, So Carolina secondary will be a

781
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: little challenge here. Zeke, I'm giving Elliott. I'm giving him

782
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: a B here. I know the Pathers have him up

783
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: ninety four rushing yards in three games total total exactly,

784
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: And like you said, we'll get to that. I don't

785
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get to a hundred came yards. But

786
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: remember last week they really tried to get him involved

787
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: in in scoring touchdowns. Tony Pollard is. He's had some

788
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: good games, but here with this defense, it's hard to

789
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: say that you could actually start him. Uh ceedee lamb.

790
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: I'm still going to give him a B. The two

791
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: competitive games they've had twenty four targets and fifteen catches.

792
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna have to contend with Dante Johnson. Um.

793
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: But again moving him around, I still like him in

794
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: the spot Mariy Cooper. It's it's all about the ribs

795
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: with him. First game spectacular gets the ribs. Two games, um,

796
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: I still am going to give him a B. His

797
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I think he's always volume dependent. So if you so,

798
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: depending on who you think this game is gonna go.

799
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: If you think Dad's gonna throw a lot of passes,

800
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: he's your guy. Cedric Wilson's you know, on the bench,

801
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Although he did scarl like who don't know, don't the Schultz?

802
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I give him a B. He's a top he obviously

803
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: has had a good game, but he was also involved

804
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: week one, remember, so he's he's obviously jumped Blake Jarwin.

805
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: He's taken roughly seventy of the snaps, so I would

806
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: start him. Blake Jarwin obviously on the bench, Okay, Brian.

807
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: Our final matchup of this segment, Giants take on the

808
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: Saints and two offenses that have had a lot of

809
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: struggles this year and two pretty good defenses will start

810
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: on the Giant side. Just to see for sake, Kawan,

811
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: Barkley last week saw season highs and carries, targets, and

812
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: snapp percentage. That is good, as predicted by some people

813
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: on this very show, all of us, all right, good,

814
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say a person, So that was good. But

815
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: what is bad the matchup for sake, Kwan. The Saints

816
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: are allowing less than fifty rushing yards per game to

817
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: opposing running backs just thirty six receiving yards per game.

818
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: So just to see for Barkley behind that offense, awful

819
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: offensive line and an awful quarterback we'll talk about for

820
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: about a second pretty soon. Over the receivers for the Giants,

821
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay gets to sea Sterling Shepherd and Darius Slayton

822
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: have been ruled out, which makes Golliday the top option

823
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, which also means he'll draw plenty of

824
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: coverage from Marshawn Lattimore, who owns a forty two point

825
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: six passer rating in his coverage. So just to see

826
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: for Kenny Golladay, temper your expectations there now, Colin to

827
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: l Johnson UH will start on the outside. UH most

828
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: likely opposite Kenny Golladay with Kadarius Tonian slot. Got them

829
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: both on the bench though. We just got to see

830
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: what we got with both of those guys and not

831
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: a great matchup, So they're on the bench, as is

832
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: Evan Engram. The Saints are top ten and fewest receptions

833
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: and yards allowed to tight ends and have yet to

834
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: surrender a score to the position. So Angram is on

835
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: the bench, and of course so is Daniel Jones. That's

836
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: a huge bench for Daniel Jones. Over to the New

837
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: Orleans side, Alvin Comerican and give him an a. The

838
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: Giants are allowing more than five yards per carry and

839
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: one thirty combo yards per game to opposing running backs.

840
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: They'll continue to be without star linebacker Blake Martinez as well.

841
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: This game will run and throw through Kamara. Love him

842
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 1: here he gets an a Marquez callaway, Deante Harris, Kenny Stills,

843
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan. These are guys getting targeted at wide receiver

844
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: for the Saints. They're all on the bench. I'm not

845
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: even gonna go into this anymore. The Giants who have

846
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: decent corners and James Bradberry and Dorry Jackson. This is

847
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: gonna be all about Kamara. I will throw a dart

848
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: at Adam Troutman though he gets to see Juwan Johnson

849
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: is a threat, but Troutman seems to be the top

850
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: option at tight end. The Giants have strengder touchdowns to

851
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: the likes of Albert I'm gonna just Albert, Albert, oh

852
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones, and Lee Smith. Lee Smith is a

853
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: retired Major League baseball pitcher Lee Smith, and lastly Jamis Winston.

854
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: He's on the bench five touchdowns in Week one, but

855
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: his past attempts have gone from twenty twenty one. Shawn Hill,

856
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Sean Payton seriously mitigating risk for Winston so

857
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: he's on the bench. Yeah, totally agree with with all

858
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: of that with Winston. Unfortunately, it hasn't come together like

859
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: we had hope through week one. Well we'll come together

860
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 1: as this whole second hour of Fantasy Football Weekly coming

Speaker 1: a frequent past contributor to Guillotine Leagues dot com and

873
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Chop Podcast. This is a game we call three tough questions.

874
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: I will pepper my co host, with three tough questions.

875
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: Play along see if you can go three and oh.

876
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,479
Speaker 1: Tough Question number one, do fantasy owners need to duck

877
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: the Carolina defense? Jeff, I'm I'm gonna go with no

878
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: with an asterisk and in the big reason is that

879
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: they're three games, not just where they against this the Jets, Saints,

880
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: and Titans. In both the Jets and the Titans games,

881
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: they were playing answer quarterback making their first NFL start

882
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: Texans right, and the only two real enself fantasy receivers

883
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: that they've been gone against. Corey Davis had ninety four

884
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, Brandon cook At nine and a

885
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve. UM. Now, I will say this though,

886
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: from when Matt Rule has coming and brought Phil Snow

887
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: with them, they really have made improvements. But they I

888
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: really need to see them against Dallas here, all right, Brian,

889
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: Do fantasy owners need to duck the Carolina defense. Yeah,

890
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm at no to. Like Jeff said that the competition

891
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: has not been that great. Jets and Saints at home

892
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: and then at the Texans. As Jeff said, Corey Davis

893
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks both had good games that they're basically

894
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: only good player offensive players on both of those teams,

895
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: and they still came through. So no, I'm not ducking

896
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: the Carolina defense justesse yet. When it comes to starting

897
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: my guys for all but the best of guys. Uh.

898
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: The answers, Yes, this is a good defense, and we

899
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: need to shake the the temptation too of everything we've

900
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: learned about the Carolina defense in the past. Remember, over

901
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: the past two seasons, Carolina dedicated all of last year's

902
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: draft to defense and half of this year's draft to defense,

903
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: and it's paying off. Carolina ranks. They're giving up ten

904
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: points per game, so even if they regress a lot

905
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: from that, it's still great. They're Noumber one in yards allowed,

906
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: their number one in first downs allowed, their number one

907
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: in rushing yards allowed, their number one in passing yards allowed.

908
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: And sure the Jets, Saints, and Texans aren't great, but

909
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: this level of domination is remarkable. Sure you're not gonna

910
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: ben your studs against Carolina, but everybody else you have

911
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:25,479
Speaker 1: to start with care Tough question Number two. Detroit running

912
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: back DeAndre Swift is currently running back three in points

913
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: scored in PPR leagues, Brian, is that a trend or mirage?

914
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: It's definitely a trend. He looks fantastic easily. The I

915
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: test tells you he's the best running back from last

916
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: year's class. He should be on the Chiefs right now,

917
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: but they went with ce agent said, but Swift looks incredible.

918
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: He's third and yards created per touch through the first

919
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: three weeks, an amazing receiver and runner of the ball.

920
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: My only concern is the season goes gets so lost

921
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: for Detroit as the time moves on that they try

922
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: to press him for the future, not just like run

923
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: him into a wall for no reason, but fantasy playoffs,

924
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, but full on trend. For me, Swift looks

925
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: like the real deal. Is DeAndre Swift a trend or mirage?

926
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: Jeff Well, I don't want to agree, but I have

927
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: don't have to agree, but I am going to agree.

928
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: And the reason is when I look at this list,

929
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, who was tenth on this list, so clearly

930
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: from Dan Campbell and Anthony Lynne, this is what we're

931
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 1: getting for their offense. And now he's had more receiving

932
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: yards and rushing yards in all three games. But as

933
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: we just as Brian mentioned earlier, they want to see

934
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: more of him, and I with Jamal Williams getting that

935
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: much volume, I just don't see them going away from

936
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I mean, they have Hockinson and and

937
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams and Swift. I think that I think we

938
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: keep seeing him there. The correct answer is mirage at

939
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: least as a top three runner. I believe he's going

940
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: to be closer to a top twelve runner. And let

941
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: me explain why. Purely as a runner, I don't think

942
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: he's even better than Jamal Williams. Pro Football Focus grades

943
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: the two identically as runners. He's fiftie in yards after contact.

944
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: If you watch his running plays, Swift looks like a

945
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: guy now. The PPR production gives him a sustainable floor,

946
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: especially on a bad team. The Lions will see a

947
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: lot of negative game scripts and that's gonna cut down

948
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: on swifts carries. But the receptions are always going to

949
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: be there, and I love that part of his game

950
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 1: and that's why he's going to remain a viable every

951
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: week fantasy starter. But at a top three level, it

952
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: is a mirage. Tough question number three, what is the

953
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: appropriate level of panic for Atlanta running back Mike Davis

954
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: owners Is it none? Some or a bowl loosening level

955
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: of existential dread what we call blowed Jeff Well For

956
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: me and a Chop podcast, as we did earlier, I

957
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: was a big Mike Davis guy now the balls are out,

958
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: and and it's not even just because of Cordell Patterson.

959
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: For me, it's how the schedule fits together. Next four

960
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: weeks they have to buy and they have Washington this week,

961
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: they have Miami and the Jets two decent games. The

962
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: seven weeks after that, Carolina twice, the Saints, Tampa Bay,

963
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: and Dallas brutal, brutal. Where do you so you look

964
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: at that's basically the rest of the regular season. You've

965
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: got maybe four spots in a flex spot that you're

966
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: gonna play him. Alright, So you're taking You're I'm alright,

967
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: what's the appropriate level of panic for Mike Davis owners.

968
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm full on bloat about Mike Davis, especially based on

969
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: him being drafted as an RB two essentially in the summer.

970
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: Quarduille Cordarrel Patterson is the running back you want for

971
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: the Falcons. He's number one in yards created per touch

972
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: among running backs. Uh, He's RB ten in PPR. He's

973
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: also wide receiver sixty BPR. So I don't want to

974
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: hear about what site you haven't designated at as wide

975
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: received running back. But Patterson is steel on the show

976
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: in that backfield. So blowed all the way. Uh, the

977
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: correct answer is a bowl loosening level of existential dread.

978
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: I like that he's been thrown to seventeen times, but

979
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: Mike Davis has turned it into twenty two passing yards

980
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: per game. That's it. The entire Falcon's offense looks bad.

981
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan looks like he's on his last legs, and

982
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: Davis is just a guy. He ranks twenty yards after contact,

983
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: he ranks nine enforced miss tackles. He doesn't have a

984
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: run longer than twelve yards. There's no explosiveness there, and

985
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: just two carries inside the six yard line and he

986
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: didn't score on either one of them. But cor Daryl

987
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: Patterson has If when you're losing carries at the stripe

988
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: to Cor Daryl Patterson, that is a bad sign. And

989
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: then we're gonna add in complicating factors for Mike Davis,

990
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: like a bad defense that leads to negative game scripts

991
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: and Pro Football focuses twenty first ranked run blocking line

992
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: that just doesn't give Mike Davis much to work with. Blowed. Yeah,

993
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: let's go back to a couple of matchups. Well, one

994
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: in particular, the Washington football team taking on the Atlanta Falcons,

995
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: and let's start with the Let's start with the passing game.

996
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: Already told you earlier, Taylor Heineke was my take a

997
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: chance of me quarterback with a B grade. Terry McLaurin

998
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: with an A grade. In fact, let's give him a

999
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: little fantasy ard vark here. He survived a tough matchup

1000
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: with for Davious White last week, and now this should

1001
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: be much easier as he toys with former teammate teammate

1002
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: Fabian Moreau in this game. He's allowing eight six percent

1003
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: of the passes in his coverage to be completed, and

1004
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: Fabian row has already given up two touchdowns. He's only

1005
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: had two red zone targets all year, and that's a

1006
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: little bit troubling for McLaurin. By can score from distance,

1007
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: Opposing number one receivers are averaging seventy receiving yards and

1008
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: a full touchdown per game against the Falcons. A grade

1009
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: for Terry McLaurin in this one. Staying with the passing game,

1010
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas with an A grade. It's touchdown time here.

1011
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: Atlantis yielded the most red zone targets, the most red

1012
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: zone touches, and the most goal to go touches two

1013
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: tight ends, so it's no surprise they've surrendered the most

1014
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns of the position already. Logan Thomas leads Washington with

1015
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: three red zone targets and he caught all of them,

1016
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: converting two of those three in two touchdowns. It is

1017
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: touchdown time for Thomas. And how about a starting grade

1018
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: for Adam Humphries. Nobody, Nobody's gonna start him, but if

1019
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: you're in a pinch, he's actually a sneaky play against

1020
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: slot cornerback Isaiah Oliver, who allowed a whopping seven touchdowns

1021
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: last year and there was already given up a touchdown

1022
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: this year. Humphrey's on the field enough. He's on the

1023
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: field about sixty eight percent of Washington snap so he's

1024
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: on the field enough that you could make a difference here.

1025
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: So I've got to see great on him. Curtis Samuel's

1026
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna come back for this game, um, and he was

1027
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: my premature speculation player last week. Now he's going to

1028
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: be active. But his groin injury, you'll remember, he suffered

1029
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: this groin injury in O T A S, So he

1030
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: missed a good chunk of O T A S. He

1031
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: missed the entire training camp. Then he suffered the relapse

1032
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: to the groin injury right before the start of the

1033
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 1: regular season, missed three games there. Dude hasn't played football

1034
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: in three months, so I don't think we're starting Curtis

1035
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: Samuel yet. But let's watch and see what happens even

1036
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: if he's active as expected for this game. JD. Mckissic

1037
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: is a bench grade. The Falcons haven't allowed to touch

1038
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: down through the air to a runner in over one

1039
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: year of games, and over that year of games, the

1040
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: average team total team receiving numbers two running backs is

1041
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: just twenty nine yards. So I don't think mckiss it

1042
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: gets anything done in this one. Let's go over to

1043
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: the Atlanta side and let's start with your guys do this.

1044
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: Let's oh Kyle Pitts right off the bat. Now, you

1045
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: have been Kyle Pitts first overall player in the draft

1046
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: position one grades in your matchups. I have been the

1047
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: rationalist on Kyle Pitts all along, and I'm giving him

1048
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: a B grade this week. It's not a bad grade,

1049
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: it's a B grade. He has garnered the seventh most

1050
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: targets among tight ends and he draws a very positive matchup,

1051
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: in particular with linebacker John Bostick this week, who has

1052
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: allowed one nineties seven receiving yards on fifteen catches, most

1053
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: of it too tight ends. So far, already he's the

1054
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: second worst graded coverage linebacker by Pro Football Focus. I

1055
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: love the matchup for Kyle Pitts. Tight Ends have seen

1056
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: the third most red zone targets against Washington, so I

1057
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: think Kyle Pitts breaks his touchdown maiden this week. Again,

1058
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: he is essentially playing wide receiver. The only percent of

1059
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: the snaps taken in line, as opposed to a guy

1060
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: like Darren Waller, was over fifty. He's in the slattery's

1061
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: outside all the time. But let's talk Calvin Ridley, who

1062
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 1: this game's got slump buster written all over it. For Ridley,

1063
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: He's been very involved in the offense. He's averaging ten

1064
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: targets a game, which is great. And the football team secondary,

1065
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: which I thought was gonna be good, just isn't so far,

1066
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: giving up two hundred forty seven yards per game to

1067
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: the receiver position, second worst in the league, and they've

1068
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: allowed at least one receiver to hit ninety four yards

1069
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: every week. If one receiver is gonna get ninety four yards.

1070
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: This week it's gonna be Calvin Ridley, cornerbacks William Jackson

1071
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: and Kendall Fuller and no match here, So I like

1072
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: Ridley a B grade. Also with the quasi passing game

1073
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: core Darrell Patterson, the Falcons utility player, continues to get

1074
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: increasing workload and he's delivering on it. The Washington defense

1075
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: has been a major disappointment so far, although they are

1076
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: ranked number one in tackling by Pro Football Focus, so

1077
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe they get a little better there. Um they especially

1078
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: lockdown pass catching running backs like Patterson. They're giving up

1079
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: a league low uh eight receptions on the season two

1080
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: running backs and just forty seven receiving yards to running back,

1081
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: So I don't think Cordarrell Patterson keeps the mojo going

1082
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: this week, and I've got just a C grade on him.

1083
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: And as for Matt Ryan, his playsman better lately with

1084
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns and back to back efficient games. The Washington

1085
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: secondary isn't nearly as good as expected, and Ryan's got

1086
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: favorable matchups on the field, which I do like and

1087
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: I've already outlined for you, So I like him here, okay,

1088
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: And I've got a C grade on Matt Ryan and

1089
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: then lastly Mike Davis, who we just talked about a

1090
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: minute ago. No runners top sixty yards against Washington and

1091
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: they're allowing just three and a half yards per carry.

1092
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: Davis is locked into this improbable time share with cor

1093
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: Darryl Patterson, and I don't see that changing here. And

1094
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: just the two carries inside the six yard line that

1095
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned and neither scored, so I can't even tell

1096
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: you there's much of a touchdown opportunity for Davis in

1097
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: this game. So probably ought to be a bench grade,

1098
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: but I'm still giving him a C on the prospect

1099
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: of him getting to fifty total yards again. Patterson RB

1100
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: ten right now. If he finishes the year as a

1101
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: top twelve running back, that's one of the biggest that's

1102
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise in the history of Fantasy Green Carnation unbelievable.

1103
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: When we come back, Seahawks take on the forty Niners.

1104
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: It's a battered forty Niners secondary and it could be

1105
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: a gigantic game for the receivers and quarterback for the

1106
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson. We'll talk more about that when

1107
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1108
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: We've got a block of matchups to get to. We'll

1109
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: break down these games fantasy style with letter grades on

1110
00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: every player. We begin with the Seahawks taking on the

1111
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: forty Niners and Jeff this is a forty nine secondary

1112
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: in disarray. Kwan Williams is out. They may be starting

1113
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: off the street buster screen, the undead corpse of Josh

1114
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: Norman and Drake Kirkpatrick at cornerback. Um, they've got rookie

1115
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: Diamadoor Lamore Leonore, who has been actually okay, and he's

1116
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: in the mix as well. But this secondary is a

1117
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: mess right now. And here comes Russell Wilson and it

1118
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna have all his weapons for this game.

1119
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: And here's one interesting stat. One running he is nine

1120
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: games in San Francisco over Russell Wilson's career, he's never

1121
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: thrown for over two it and fifty eight passing yards

1122
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: and he's never thrown for more than two touchdowns. A

1123
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: game that's going out the window this week, Like you mentioned,

1124
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: you had to go to the remains of Josh Norman

1125
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: and now you're going to bust your screen doors door exactly.

1126
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: So I mean Russell Wilson's inn a he has he

1127
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: has to be, which of course then leads to dk

1128
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: Metcalf and Tyler Locke at both as uh Metcalf over

1129
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: a eleven and a half targets per game in his

1130
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: four games again San Francisco. Now, last year season Family

1131
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: only had twenty one yards against. Throw that out the window.

1132
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: He had three three touchdowns in the two games there.

1133
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: He's going to see all kinds of stuff. Tyler Locket

1134
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: at the same way. Last year's season finale one of

1135
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: his best fantasy games. That he said, twelve catches, ninety

1136
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns the first in the first two

1137
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: games this year over a hundred yards. Last week the

1138
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: off game he did get danged and he got the

1139
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: bulk of Patrick Peterson. But obviously he's an a as well.

1140
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a be to Chris Carson. He's

1141
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: averaged over six yards per carrying his two road starts.

1142
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: We he's gonna get sixteen touches. That's just what he gets.

1143
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: And uh last year and he didn't do much in

1144
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco, but I mean he has he's going to

1145
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: make hay out of his But that's you had him

1146
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: last year have him this year. He's gonna touch the

1147
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: ball sixteen times. He's gonna make something now, So I

1148
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: still give him a B. And the only other guy

1149
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: that I would have recommended that here was Gerald Everett.

1150
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: He just went on the COVID list. So those three

1151
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: guys really could have come for a lot A deep sleeper. Yeah,

1152
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: and if making him as well, Bluster Screen is the

1153
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: starting slot receiver off the street, if he's starting. Freddie

1154
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Swain is a nice saw that. Yeah, I saw that

1155
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: name you throw out there. Yeah we can. We'll definitely

1156
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: throw him in here. Uh. San Francisco Jimmy Garoppolo on

1157
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,959
Speaker 1: the last on the bench the last three games against

1158
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco has one touchdown passed. But he should put

1159
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: up better numbers. Why because Seattle's defense is awful. Oh

1160
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: there there. Their cornerbacks might be the highlight of their defense,

1161
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: and none is in Pro Football Focus is top fifty,

1162
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: So Deebo Samuel isn't obvious? Are Julio Jones and Justin

1163
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: Jefferson just each went over for a hundred yards over them.

1164
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel had over a hundred yards in both games

1165
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: against Seattle last year. The only I mean the only

1166
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: thing with him is that he doesn't get into the

1167
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: end zone. He scored twice in his last nine games.

1168
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: But really it doesn't It doesn't make a whole lot

1169
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: of difference here. Brandon Nyuk. I've moved him up to

1170
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: a B because he's now obviously reinvolved in the offense.

1171
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Last week he had the one touchdown, and he had

1172
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: another one just got kind of got tipped the way

1173
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: and dropped. Last year against Seattle, he had eight catches

1174
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: for ninety one yards and a touchdown in the game.

1175
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: He's trending in the right direction. He's obviously now back

1176
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: in part of the offense. Trey Sermon could have a

1177
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: big game this week. Elijah Mitchell as we as we've seen,

1178
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: he has not had contact yet. I don't think he's

1179
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna play this week. Usually if you don't his his

1180
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: his practice was so light that he was wearing the

1181
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: red contactors he normally quarterbacks have. He's had no That's

1182
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: a bad sign for his availability here in Seattle against

1183
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: running backs. Oh Boy dead last in fantasy points so far.

1184
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor hundred sixteen Comboy yards, Travis Humby two d

1185
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and thirty seven. Alexander Madison A hundred and seventy one.

1186
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: And I think last week now, Trey Sermon, I think

1187
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: game script got him a little bit last week. One

1188
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: thing I really was impressed with was his move at

1189
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: the goal line. Yeah, and so if he's if Mitchell

1190
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: is out and Trey Sermon is your guy this week,

1191
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I give him. I give him a beef for sure,

1192
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: and he may be an A because Seattle's defense just awful.

1193
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: George Kittle hasn't practiced all week. Now, I I still

1194
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, with him, I'd still give him a B

1195
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: because he uh week one, end weeks seven, we saw

1196
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: with him really good. But he hasn't scored in seven

1197
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: career games against Seattle. That's weird. It is weird. And

1198
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: he actually has only scored twice in his last eleven games.

1199
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: So and with the calf injury, I would only give

1200
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: him a B. One thing to note here, the last

1201
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: six games between these two teams have had at least

1202
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: forty seven points scored. So offense, plenty of offense here.

1203
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: If you're on the defensive, you know a couple of

1204
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: these fringe guys, Remember there's gonna be points scored here.

1205
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 1: Titans take on the Jets Brian no A, j Brown,

1206
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: no Julio Jones. So Derrick Henry is gonna have like

1207
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: forty carries in this game. Yeah, fantasy Fonzie for Henry A.

1208
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: The Jets are allowing nearly one and sixty combo yards

1209
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: per game and have yielded the most red zone touches

1210
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: to running backs. No surprise, They've allowed four rushing touchdowns

1211
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: and running backs over the last two weeks. And I

1212
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: would like to mention twelve catches for Henry so far,

1213
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,479
Speaker 1: his career high for a full season, and of course

1214
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: is nineteen. Might break his career record in this game.

1215
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, A J Brown and Julio Jones have

1216
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: both been ruled out. That made Nick Westbrook I believe

1217
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: it is again. It's n w I around here. H

1218
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: he used your to take a chance on me wide

1219
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: receiver charge. I like that call. I'm gonna put Chester

1220
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Rogers and Racy McMath. You're just six three rookie at

1221
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: l s U. He was drafted I never knew existed.

1222
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my eye on him, but I got Rogers

1223
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: and McMath on the bench. The Jets are allowing only

1224
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: yards per game to wide receivers you just don't have

1225
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: to throw against the Jets, really, and for that reason,

1226
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I've got tight end Anthony Brooks around the bench as well.

1227
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: He should make his return from injury. But the Jets

1228
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: not allowing any production to tight ends because no one

1229
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: needs to throw on them, basically a butt. I will

1230
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: give Ryan tannehillisy even though I just poo poo the

1231
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: passing game or the lack of the need for a

1232
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: passing him against the Jets. The Jets have been given

1233
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: up much to opposing quarterbacks, but they faced Sam Donald,

1234
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: mac Jones, Teddy Bridgewater. They also haven't had to throw much.

1235
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: But I will give Tannehill a C grade in this one.

1236
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: Over to the Jet side, Michael Carter was might take

1237
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: a chance on me running back. He is the only

1238
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: running backwards starting in this game, and that's for sure.

1239
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, I would give him a b uh. In

1240
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: a bona fide revenge game narrative here he stated he

1241
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: was hurt that the Titans let him walk in free agency. Alright,

1242
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: so there is a little bit more than just the

1243
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: money he left. There's some sour feelings. I like that

1244
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: there is a chip on the shoulder, and again I

1245
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: mentioned this in takeom Tennessee is allowing more than fifteen

1246
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: catches and two yards per game to opposing wide receivers.

1247
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: He have yielded the second most red zone targets and

1248
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the most gold through goat touches to opposing wide receivers.

1249
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: So a b for Corey Davis. That made Braxton Barrios

1250
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me wide receiver. Uh, Jameson

1251
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Crowder is making his return from the growing injury his

1252
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: season debut. I should say, I gotta see what we

1253
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: get at a Crowder. We're not so sure he'll finish

1254
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: the game, so I got him on the bench for now.

1255
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: And uh, guess where's at Wilson is on the bench. Yeah,

1256
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. Really, the Jets made a mistake in not

1257
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: keeping Donald and then they had that number two pick

1258
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: in the draft and trading that number two pick for

1259
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, you know, they could have gotten three first

1260
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: rounders or something right and just moved down and just

1261
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: piled up picks, and they could have they could have

1262
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: kept Sam Donald, and you know, figured to just Donner

1263
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: will be better without Adam Gates, which he already is

1264
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: better without Adam Gates. So I think they made a

1265
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: tactical blunder there, Ravens take on the Broncos. Let's talk

1266
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: this one through. Lamar Jackson returned to practice on Friday,

1267
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: and he looks like a full go for this game,

1268
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: and he gets a B grade from me. He has

1269
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: thrown zero or one touchdown in half of his games

1270
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: going back to the middle of last year, and exactly

1271
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: one touchdown in all three of his games this year.

1272
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Denver has absolutely hammered the wobbly quarterbacks they've seen so far,

1273
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: holding them to an averager just one two yards and

1274
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: less than one touchdown pass per game. So I don't

1275
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get much through the air from Lamar

1276
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Jackson in this one. So will you get fantasy points

1277
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: on the ground while he's topping fifty eight rushing yards

1278
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: in every game this year, and Denver allowed Daniel Jones

1279
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown in Week one and they gave up

1280
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: a league worst eight quarterback rushing touchdowns last year, although

1281
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: that the defense was all banged up last year. So

1282
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson does enough on the ground here

1283
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: to keep him with the B grade. But there is

1284
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: clunker potential in Lamar Jackson this week let's talk about

1285
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: his receivers. Marquis Brown might get some extra looks to

1286
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: rebuild his confidence after he dropped two absolute touchdowns and

1287
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: a third one that was probably going to be a touchdown,

1288
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: So maybe they go back to him a few extra

1289
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: times to rebuild him a little bit. It's a tough

1290
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: matchup with the Denver secondary that currently ranks ninth in

1291
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: yards per game two receivers and tied for second with

1292
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: just two scores allowed two wide outs. Brown could still

1293
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: find success on the outside against Kyle Fuller, who his

1294
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: coverage grades out at forty second among fifty two cornerbacks

1295
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus, So there's still something to like there.

1296
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: But I've just got a C grade on Marquis Brown

1297
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: in this game. CE grade on Mark Andrews because the

1298
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Broncos have been very stout against tight ends, and that's

1299
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: not saying much when they've seen Tyler Craft, James O'Shaughnessy,

1300
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: and Kyle Rudolph, so maybe they're more vulnerable than we know.

1301
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: Uh Andrew's returned to form last week with the win

1302
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: hundred yard game, but he has yet to see a

1303
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: red zone target, which is very troubling. And as for

1304
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Runners. For the love of God, who knows right?

1305
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing is so messed up right now.

1306
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Between Williams and Murray and Freeman collectively, they all did

1307
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: nothing in a juicy matchup with the Lions last week,

1308
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: and here comes a brutal matchup. Denver ranks number two

1309
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: in rushing yards allowed, number two and fewest rushing attempts,

1310
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: and is allowing just three point two yards per carry.

1311
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 1: So they're all on the bench. Lastly, Rishad Bateman could

1312
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: make his debut here. We don't know yet. Might be

1313
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 1: a game time decision, but we're gonna sit and watch

1314
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: and see what his usage is before we try him

1315
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: in a very tough matchup. All right, let's go over

1316
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: to the Denver side. I want to start with the

1317
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: running backs. Melvin Gordon and Javante Williams just get C

1318
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: grades each. The Ravens are allowing the ninth fewest rushing

1319
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: yards per game, and no back has topped forty seven

1320
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards. That's it. And despite that success, they are

1321
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: giving up some touchdowns. So maybe one of the other

1322
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: finds the end zone here. Gordon's a little thing up

1323
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: coming into this game, so Javanta Williams might get the

1324
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: slight edge. They wouldn't that be nice? Every week? I'm like,

1325
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: can we just unleash Javonte Williams. Are we gonna take

1326
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: away Melvin Gordon's seventy yard touchdown running again? Um? They

1327
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: did that last week? That's enough. Uh, there's also but

1328
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: oh they're giving up the second most receiving yards and

1329
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: they've let opposing running backs catch twenty one of twenty

1330
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: two targets on the year. So I think Williams and

1331
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Gordon can help you a little bit more through the

1332
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: air than they normally do. And a C grade for

1333
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: those guys. Let's let's sorry about the passing game. Teddy

1334
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Bridgewater with a C grade. He's one of last year

1335
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 1: was one of last year's bottom ten passers in average distance.

1336
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: This year, he is a top ten passer in average

1337
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 1: distance and he hasn't skipped a beat without Jerry Judy

1338
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,839
Speaker 1: because Tim Patrick is stepped in nicely. The Raven secondary

1339
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: was shredded in weeks one and two, and only the

1340
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: only team they've held down was the Lion. So I

1341
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 1: could see Teddy cobbling his way to a decent game here.

1342
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: And I've got a C grade on him. Courtland Sutton

1343
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: gets an A. He leads up the league an average

1344
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: depth of target at sixteen and a half yards, which

1345
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: is great, and Teddy throwing these long balls as I

1346
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: mentioned it could all you need is one connection there.

1347
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: The raven secondary is prone to allowing big plays from receivers.

1348
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 1: They've given up a thirty one yard touchdown, a thirty

1349
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: three yard touchdown, and a forty yard touchdown, So I

1350
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: like the deep ball to Courtland Sutton a grade. Tim

1351
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: Patrick gets a B grade. The Ravens coverage is a

1352
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: mixed bag for Patrick, who normally plays the boundaries. Patrick

1353
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: will want to avoid Anthony Avereite on the side of

1354
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: the field, as he surrendered just thirty seven scoreless yards

1355
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: per game. He will fare better on the right side though,

1356
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: against Marlon Humphrey, who was good but isn't playing well

1357
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: this year. He's given up two scores already in a

1358
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: hundred one passer ratings so far. And then lastly, Noah Fan.

1359
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: The Ravens have been very exploitable here. They're giving up

1360
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the most targets, the most receptions, and the most yards

1361
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: to tight ends. So Noah Fan potentially sitting on a

1362
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: big game here, even though they did just hold T. J.

1363
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: Hockenson to a nothing game a week ago. Patrick Queen

1364
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: has been getting destroyed by tight ends to this point

1365
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: of the season, and with kJ Hamler out maybe the

1366
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: middle of the field. A few extra throws to Noah

1367
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: fanse in this game and he gets a B grade.

1368
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: When we come back. Final segment, including premature speculation, We'll

1369
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: give you the names of three guys you want to

1370
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: pick up this week that everybody else will be trying

1371
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: to pick up next week when we come back to

1372
01:11:52,360 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Archie In,

1373
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson and Jeff Moss with you if you haven't

1374
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: yet tried a Guillotine league. New league still forming, and

1375
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: as you may already know, guillotine leagues are the hottest,

1376
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: freshest new way to play fantasy football. No head to

1377
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: head instead. Every week the low scoring team gets chopped

1378
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: and all their players go to the waiver wire, where

1379
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: it is pandemonium for the rest of us as we

1380
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: bid to get a whole roster's worth of great players.

1381
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: It's chaos, it's totally different and highly strategic. We encourage

1382
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: you to try that out at Guillotine leagues dot com.

1383
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: All you have to do is not be last. This

1384
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: is a segment we call premature speculation. We give you

1385
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 1: the opportunity to jump into this time machine right here,

1386
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: that one right there, and to pick up a bunch

1387
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: of guys this week that we think everybody else is

1388
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: gonna be trying to pick up next week. But they're

1389
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: already on your team. Jeff, you got I have. Well,

1390
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Actually he's not premature, and he's just a guy. I'm

1391
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: not sure why everybody has missed it's Hunter Renfro. With

1392
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: all the chaos and different things going on on this

1393
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Raiders offense. Three weeks, his targets nine, seven and six,

1394
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: his games six for seventy, five for fifty seven and

1395
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: five for fifty seven, solid numbers, especially in PPR, and

1396
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: so people I think have started to catch on to him.

1397
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: But he's been a very consistent in this offense. So

1398
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: if if he's if he's there in your league, that's

1399
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm looking at, especially you know in

1400
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: these Guillotine leagues where it's still early enough in the season,

1401
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: a guy like that as a fill in as your

1402
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: second receiver, want to consistent outputting these Guillotine League exactly.

1403
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: That's a guy who could do it, Hunter Renfro, All right,

1404
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: who's your premature speculation player, Brian? I got Patriots running

1405
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: back j J. Taylor. James White lost for the year

1406
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: with the hip injury. That opens up that third down

1407
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: role for j. J. Taylor, who has shown he has

1408
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: the skill set to fill in admirable, admirably and it's

1409
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: been a productive role for the Patriots, the third down

1410
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: pass catching uh role at running back, and the Patriots

1411
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: at the Bucks this week impossible to run on them,

1412
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: and we're not expecting Taylor to do much running. But

1413
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay was the only team to allow more than

1414
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: one catches to running backs last year, so I think

1415
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: Taylor could be sitting on a pretty big game catching

1416
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: the ball. So go get him now, because after Sunday

1417
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, Monday, people are gonna be looking at

1418
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: him on the waper wire. Alright, let's uh, let's go

1419
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: to my premature speculation player, Rashad Bateman. Savvy fantasy players

1420
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: are already on Bateman when he started practicing on Wednesday,

1421
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 1: but he's still only rostered for whatever reason. Twenty one

1422
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 1: of Yahoo leagues and eight percent of ESPN leagues. He

1423
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: was a first rounder on a team that needs help.

1424
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: But receiver. He is a fluid, hyper competitive receiver who

1425
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,799
Speaker 1: will win almost all contested catches. Great hands, good ball tracking,

1426
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: giant catch radius. There's a lot to like about this kid,

1427
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: and all he has to do is passed by Sammy

1428
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: Watkins and Devin DuVernay in the slot to get some runs.

1429
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: So and to me, Markus Brown has always felt like

1430
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,879
Speaker 1: a number two receiver, not a number one. His drops

1431
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: almost a spasualist. No this this late in the season.

1432
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you're talking about a guy like Bateman, who, Yeah,

1433
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: I get he's a rookie, but I mean you look

1434
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: around there and Lamar Jackson, the struggles they're having in

1435
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: their past game. This guy, I mean, we got to

1436
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: see him up close. He's he's the real deal for sure.

1437
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: Bucks take on the Patriots. As you may be aware,

1438
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: there's a certain amount of intrigue in this game, um

1439
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: and some storylines, but we're gonna break it down fantasy style,

1440
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: starting on the Buck side and Tom Brady, you know

1441
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: all the you know, all the other stuff aside. Let's

1442
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: just let's just focus on fantasy What do you expect

1443
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady in this game? Well, I don't, you know,

1444
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: being the new guy, I don't want to. I don't

1445
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,640
Speaker 1: want to break any tradition, but an aid and seem right.

1446
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 1: I thought maybe alpha was the right grade for him.

1447
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: He's mythical. He just he you know, maybe don't say

1448
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: a plus. That's what I was. That's why that's why

1449
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: I want to like, I didn't want to put the

1450
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: plus in there for me. Is he going to throw

1451
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: for five and six or is he gonna have like

1452
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: a first half like five had when his dad died. No,

1453
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to do that. But this

1454
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: is about as high a floor as you're gonna ever

1455
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 1: have for for a fantasy quarterback. To me, it seems

1456
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: like it boils down to public Brady. This is the team.

1457
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Private Brady go went into Arian's office, closed the door

1458
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: and said, hey, could you give ron Leal the week off?

1459
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: This week? I just you know, the Patriots corners on

1460
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: paper have done really well. They're they're like I think seventh,

1461
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: I believe in fantasy points allowed. Tom Brady is he's

1462
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: a your But that goes to the what's interesting gioe

1463
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Bernard was ruled out Ronald Jones at five touches per week,

1464
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: I moved Leonard for an end up to a B

1465
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: this week. Barry Bruce arians has made mention of the

1466
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: fact he wants to use for net more on third down,

1467
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: and he's already averaging four catches a game, so there

1468
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: could be he could be sitting here on a pretty

1469
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: decent game. Uh as far as as far as the

1470
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: receiver's goes Evans and Godwen, obviously, as Evans after the

1471
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: first week of being a little bit lost, has been

1472
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: way involved the last two weeks. Godwin has scored in

1473
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: sixth straight regular season games. But he's not the only

1474
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,799
Speaker 1: revenge guy. Antonio Brown, he's one game with the Patriots.

1475
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: He's off the COVID list now he's supposed to be active.

1476
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: He's actually scored in five of his last six games

1477
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: before last week, with the last week in the landing

1478
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: before he went on the COVID list, so I used

1479
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: to I would give him a B as well, especially

1480
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: with the news now that Gronk is doubtful for this game.

1481
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Cameron break could be a fascinating pickup for those and

1482
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: if you've got Gronk, you need to go get Cameron break. Yeah,

1483
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: make sure you've got the starting tight end. Now for me,

1484
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 1: the the you know, the fantasy guy thinks the willis

1485
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: read things because I mean Brady to Gronk in the

1486
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: end zone. Man. But yeah, like you said, Cameron, braid

1487
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: the guy. This is a very strange game for New

1488
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: England because this doesn't happen very often. They're playing the

1489
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: same game this week that they did last week. You've

1490
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: got you had New Orleans at home. The only difference

1491
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: is Marchant and Latimore is not there. But it's the

1492
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: same thing and that's why for me, Damian Harris is

1493
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: on the bench again. His snap count last week went

1494
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: down to he doesn't catch passes. He only scored three

1495
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: in his last thirteen starts. He did nothing last week.

1496
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: I see the same thing from him this week. I

1497
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: don't see it any better. Brutal matchup. And on the

1498
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: reverse side of that, Mac Jones, I wouldn't necessar really

1499
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: start him. But Trent Brown has been practicing this week

1500
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: and he's said two passing yards and his two home

1501
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: starts last week, as I mentioned, uh Nelson Aglar was

1502
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: my take a chance of your guy. But between Myers

1503
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 1: born and uh als I mentioned thirty targets last week

1504
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: between these three guys, and that was with Marshawn Lattimore.

1505
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: I have I have a certain C and a B

1506
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: for PPR for Jacoby Myers because he said at least

1507
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,879
Speaker 1: five targets and nine games. He's a really good PPR producer.

1508
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: Uh And even Kendrick Borne, he's he scored last week,

1509
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: had a nice game. Uh. All three of these guys

1510
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: really could be in for a decent game because Tampa's

1511
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: corners are awful. They just signed Richard Sherman off the

1512
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: street and they said we're going to suit him up.

1513
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they might actually see him. Uh. And just

1514
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: for the Titans, Hunter Henry seemed to jump past your guy,

1515
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: John Nu Smith. I would give him a CEE because

1516
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks he's gotten more. John NW Smith,

1517
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to throw this in for you.

1518
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Though his one career game against Tampa John Nu Smith

1519
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: six catches, seventy one touchdown has nothing to do with

1520
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: this matchup ended up signing. I wanted to throw him

1521
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: that in thank you appreciate that. Uh, Brian Steelers take

1522
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: on the Packers. You've already alluded to the undead corpse

1523
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: of Ben Roethlisberger, who was stuck around one year too many. Yeah,

1524
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: he was going take a chance, I mean quarterback because

1525
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: I liked the receiving options for Pittsburgh and this one.

1526
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Uh Naji Harris is a receiving option, by the way,

1527
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: him in a minute. But I will start with at

1528
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver and give Deontay Johnson and B should make

1529
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: his return from a knee injury missed last week. The

1530
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 1: matchup doesn't look great on paper for Deontay. The Packers

1531
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: have only allowed twenty six total catches to wide receivers,

1532
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: but they've also faced the Saints, Lions and forty Niners. Now,

1533
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: outside of Deebo Samuel, there aren't any actual wide receivers

1534
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: on those teams, so uh and and despite that, the

1535
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Packers have surrendered four touchdowns to wide receivers. So a

1536
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 1: B for Deonta Johnson. Uh. Now, we gotta go over

1537
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: to Chase Claypool, who now is looking very ippy for

1538
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,799
Speaker 1: this game with a hamstring injury. Did not practice on Friday.

1539
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: I don't think it's happening. Yeah, we're gonna go under

1540
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: the assumption he is out on Sunday night. So that

1541
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: bumps Juju Smith Schuster from I had him as a

1542
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: bench grade just because he does not look good. He

1543
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: hurt his Rik's Washington is a sneaky play here. He

1544
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: and Juju get a sea here just because I do

1545
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: think there will be points put up in this game.

1546
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: But of course if Chase Claypool plays at bumps Washington

1547
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: to the bench and almost Juju. But I'll give Juju

1548
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: in Washington the sea here, and tight end Pat friar

1549
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: Muth can give him a sea. Packers are allowing seven

1550
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: catches sixty six yards per game to opposing tight ends,

1551
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: three total touchdowns surrendered to the position. So far, fryar

1552
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Muth has seemingly used to Eric Ebron is the Steeler's

1553
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: top tight end. So a guy who's we're starting now

1554
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: on the tight end wasteland and last, and certainly not least,

1555
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 1: Naji Harris can give him a b Nineteen targets last week,

1556
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: second highest running back targets history of the league, and

1557
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 1: he's he right now. He's second in target share percentage

1558
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: among running backs, behind only Alvin Kamara. Harris is also

1559
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: first among running backs and broken tackles on receptions. He

1560
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: clearly can run the ball a true bell cow uh.

1561
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: It's just that offensive line is pretty garbage. But a

1562
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: very safe volume play and give him a B here.

1563
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: The Packers not a great matchup, allowing less than twenty

1564
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: combo yards per game to running backs, but they've surrendered

1565
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 1: three scores to the positions of a B for Harris.

1566
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: Over to the Green Bay side, We'll start with Aaron Jones,

1567
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: who's nursing an ankle injury right now but should play,

1568
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: and I will mention t J Watt will make his

1569
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: return for Pittsburgh. That's a huge deal when Elkin Jenkins

1570
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: is not gonna play. Jones probably would have gotten a

1571
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: if there is no t J. But since t J

1572
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,759
Speaker 1: will be back and give Jones a B, tough matchup

1573
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: for Aaron. Pittsburgh is allowing the ninth fewest combo yards

1574
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: end yards per carry to opposing running backs and are

1575
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: one of five teams yet to allow a running back

1576
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: touchdown this season. Jones does lead all running backs in

1577
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: red zone touches, so he certainly has a chance to

1578
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: score even against the Steelers, But just to be for

1579
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Jones and this one, Davante Adams gets an a though

1580
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:06,959
Speaker 1: twenty seven targets over the last two weeks. Uh, Pittsburgh

1581
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: allowing plus yards per game to wide receivers five total touchdowns.

1582
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Easy a for Davante is out to you like any

1583
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: of the other receivers. Yeah, because MVS is out with

1584
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. I'll give Alan Lazar to see just

1585
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: based on the stats I just read off, he'll see uh,

1586
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: plenty of single coverage in this game. But the Steelers

1587
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: focused in on Davante Adams for sure. And Robert Tonyan

1588
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: off to an awful start this year, but it's gonna

1589
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: give him a c here. Uh. The Steelers are allowing

1590
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: a little over four catches and fifty yards per game

1591
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Not great, but it's been a mixed

1592
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: bag of results for the opposition. So last week the

1593
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: Bengals tight ends combined for zero catches on one target.

1594
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: But in week two, the Raiders tight ends Darren Waller,

1595
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau, and Derek Carrier conbind for nine catches, hundred

1596
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: and twelve yards in a touchdown. So I'm gonna get

1597
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: Tony in to see here. But he really needs to score.

1598
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: They go, I know, they really do. I think I

1599
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 1: think with mvs out that this a lot of that

1600
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: passing offense is gonna go through Tony, and I think

1601
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: the bounce back game is coming right here. I do

1602
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: as well in speaking of getting going after that awful

1603
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 1: start to the season in week when Aaron Rodgers has

1604
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: certainly gotten going. But just to be for him here again,

1605
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: it would have been an a f T. J. Watt

1606
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: was not going to play for Pittsburgh. But the Steelers

1607
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: have faced three quality quarterbacks and Josh Allen, Joe Burrow,

1608
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr and have allowed an average of two

1609
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,919
Speaker 1: seventy four yards and two touchdowns per game. Two opposing quarterbacks.

1610
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: Feels about right for Aaron Rodgers floor in this game,

1611
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: with a certainly a chance to score higher than that.

1612
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Monday night game is our final game,

1613
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: and there's a real problem for fantasy owners because we

1614
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: don't know who the starting running back is going to

1615
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: be for the Raiders against the bottom ranked run defense

1616
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: in the league. So an ideal scenario, you have Jacobs

1617
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: and Barber, Josh Jacobs and Peyton Barber, and you can

1618
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: pivot to whichever one you need to. But for most

1619
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: of us that's not the case. You're gonna have to

1620
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: set your line up on Sunday, and makes some kind

1621
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: of an educated guest, and I don't believe we're gonna

1622
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: have final word on whether it's Jacobs or Barber before

1623
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: Sunday for this Monday night game. So you're gonna have

1624
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 1: to You're kind of stuck. You can roll the dice

1625
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: if you want. In a very positive matchup against the

1626
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: team allowing the most rushing yards in five and a

1627
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: half yards per carry, four different runners of top one

1628
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: total yards against the Chargers already, let's go to the

1629
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 1: passing game where Derek Carr slumps to a C in

1630
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 1: his toughest matchup of the year. He goes up against

1631
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: a rebuilt Chargers past defense that has already shut out

1632
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:37,759
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and mortalized Patrick Mahomes and back to back weeks,

1633
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 1: they've got that impressive rookie Asante Samuel Jr. Who was

1634
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Year, sorry, Rookie of the Month

1635
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: for September, and um they got back elite safety Derwin James.

1636
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: And so you're all that together, and I can't assure

1637
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: you that Derek Carr keeps his momentum going here All

1638
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: of his receivers have difficult individual matchups, which I'll discuss

1639
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: in just a minute. But I do love and Waller,

1640
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,799
Speaker 1: so Carr remains startable with the C grade. Waller obvious

1641
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 1: A charges are allowed the seventh most catches too tight ends,

1642
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: and have had no answer for Waller's closest comparable, Travis

1643
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey last week he rolled up seven catches for a

1644
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: hundred four yards. As for the receivers, Renfro, Rugs Edwards,

1645
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: just too many tough matchups against a very good Charger

1646
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: secondary that's already humbled Tyree hill, A, Marii Cooper, and

1647
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,759
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. So I don't like Renfro, Rugs and Edwards,

1648
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. Los Angeles Franks number

1649
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: two and wide receiver yards allowed, number one and wide

1650
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns allowed and number seven in wide receiver receptions allowed.

1651
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: Brutal matchups for those guys. All right, now, let's go

1652
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: over to the l A side of this game. Austin

1653
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: Ekeler A grade. I feel really good about him here,

1654
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: and maybe I've going going to this weekend feeling as

1655
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: good about Eler in this one as any of them

1656
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: he's seen an increase in snaps in every game. He's

1657
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: hall in fifteen of the fifteen throws that have come

1658
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: his direction over the past two weeks. The Raiders have

1659
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: been in the better half of the league in most

1660
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: running back defensive metrics so far, but five separate running

1661
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: backs have already topped seventy four total yards or found

1662
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: the end zone. If five of those guys have, I

1663
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: can't see Eckler not hitting seventy four total yards and

1664
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: or the end zone. He probably does both. Moving over

1665
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: to the passing game, justin Air Bear gets an A grade.

1666
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: The Raiders secondary clearly improved from last year, but after

1667
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: slowing the modest passing attacks of Baltimore Pittsburgh in Miami,

1668
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't believe Las Vegas can stop Justin Air Bear

1669
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: at all. He has looked great. He's completing seventy percent

1670
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: of his passes despite playing better defenses than the Raiders

1671
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: can put on the field. As a rookie against this team,

1672
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: he topped three hundred yards and two touchdowns in both

1673
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: meetings with the Raiders. He will do it again. Here.

1674
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: A grade for Justin Air Bear keenan Allen A grade.

1675
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: He's not at least one hundred total yards and or

1676
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: a score and eleven of the last thirteen games, and

1677
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: has done so in all three games this year. He'll

1678
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: primarily go up against rookie slot cornerback Nate Hobbs, who

1679
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: has looked fine, but he's not Keenan Allen, and he's

1680
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna get torched by Allen in this game. So I

1681
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 1: got an A grade on Keenan Allen, a B grade

1682
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: on Mike Williams, who draws a tough matchup with the

1683
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: one good member of this Las Vegas secondary, Casey Hayward,

1684
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: who ranks second among fifty two cornerbacks who have played

1685
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: at least one hundred snaps according to ProFootball Focus. In

1686
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 1: coverage grade, Hayward travels with the opponent's best outside receiver,

1687
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: and of course Keenan Allen, largely placed from the slot

1688
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: the best outside receivers Mike Williams, who's gonna get a

1689
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of Casey Hayward, and that's gonna it's gonna take

1690
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: some creativity for the Chargers to get Williams free of Hayward.

1691
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: And I've just got the B on Williams, even though

1692
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: he's been one of the hottest receivers in Fantasy Football,

1693
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: Jared Cook gets a sea. There's been middling totals in

1694
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: every game so far for Cook it Mikekasecki just went

1695
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: off for ten catches and eighty six yards against Las Vegas,

1696
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: so we're gonna in this tight end wasteland. We'll give

1697
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: Jared Cook a C grade in this game. It's a

1698
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: lot to get through, you guys. We did it. We

1699
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: did it, Jeff, How did it feel? First one? But

1700
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, I just thank you for

1701
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: having me here this. You know, a little bit of

1702
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: surreal sitting here in this chair without the people who

1703
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,479
