Here's your host, Paul. It is 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.120 a week for addition to Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:30.040 Giarchi and my co host today Brian Johnson Guillotine Leagues 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:34.480 dot com and making his debut on this particular podcast, 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.320 a long time writer of ours at Guillotine Leagues dot 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.160 com and a Chop podcast contributor Jeff Moss. Hey, Jeff, Hey, 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.720 how you doing. I'm doing great. It is um. This 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.280 is a this is a long show with the storied history. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.320 We don't want to freak you out, but we want 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.519 we want you. We're very excited to have have some 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.160 new blood. Honestly, Scott and Matty was getting old and 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.000 it's you know, it's just best to get some new, 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.440 fresh perspective in here. I was this worry you're gonna 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:03.680 bring in Colin mccockney a full time No, that's reason 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:08.399 to leave the podcast. One segment a year is about 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.160 as much Colin mccockney as anybody can handle. I think, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.680 over the course of the show. We will answer three 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.520 tough questions. We will give you nine players upon whom 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.120 you can take a chance, and we will unveil this 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.240 week's premature speculation players. These are players who want to 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.440 pick up this week that everybody else three trying to 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.959 pick up next week. I misfired on my buttons that 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:37.240 here's the time machine, now, can you use that to 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.200 go back in time and fix fix that hitting the 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.240 wrong button? I'd really I'd like to do that on 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.400 the time machine sounder, and I'll brag about last week's 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.480 premature speculation, although I will everybody racing to the waiver 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:57.000 wire to pick up Curtis Samuel now because he's active. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.640 We told you it was going to go exactly this way, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.520 and sheared off last week. We have we urge you 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.840 to pick him up days in advance. Hopefully you did. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.400 Let's begin with Arizona taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Jeff, 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.560 we're gonna pull the band aid off, give you your 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.880 first matchup right off the bat. I pull the band 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.840 aid off right away. Okay, uh, We'll jump right into 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.760 Kyler Merly. This is his toughest matchup of the year. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.200 He the Rams have allowed just two touchdown passes in 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.440 three games, including taking Brady down last week. The Rams 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.560 have great secondary depth, and you know he got Ramsey 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.960 on a dingdap, Hopkins. I mean he hasn't run for 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.680 more than twenty yards in any of the four games 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.440 against him. We can't bench your start. I mean it's 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.320 Kyler Merley, you can't. You can't bench him. But I 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.760 mean this is his this is his toughest matchup for 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.080 the year. So I mean I'd have to downgrade him 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.840 to a b uh Chase Edmonds. I give him a 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.040 sea only because he does what he does. He's gonna 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.040 cobble together some kind of a ten point TPR game. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.799 I mean, the Rams of the second ranked rush defense. Uh, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.160 you know, he doesn't get the ball to stripe. It's 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.120 just you know, and that's and that goes to James Conner. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:03.960 I mean, well, you know who does James Conner might 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.880 take a chance on me running back from last week 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.040 to the touchdowns. Where's that peacock at charts? Come on? 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.959 Uh this week? Yeah, don't take a chance on Connor 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.160 this week. This this matchup just is awful for him. Uh, Hopkins, 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.720 I'm going to give him a bee even though he's 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.560 dinged up obviously, and his history with Jalen Ramsey, I 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.200 mean even back to their days and the Texans and Jaguars, 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.840 he I couldn't find more than eighty yards in any 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.640 game that he played against with against Ramsey, so and 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.320 obviously he's struggling with with the injury, so I wouldn't 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.320 give him more than a B. The rest of Christian 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.160 Kirk and Rondale Moore in a J. Green. We saw 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.480 what happened last week rond Dale Morey when I picked 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.000 up up and Kirk and Green with the guys who 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.640 picked up a hundred yards. I mean, if I had 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.480 to pick one of out out of there, I would 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.680 pick kirk Um. But again the Ram's got great depth 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.800 in the secondary, so you know, I maybe Kirk is 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.120 the guy I would give a C too. If I 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.840 had to pick one of them, well you do, it's your, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.920 this is yours, this is your and then do that 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.480 that's the guy and pick it up. I take him 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.360 Max Williams, he actually could be a streamer for you. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.080 This week. The Rams so far forty two yards allowed 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.960 to Cole commit sixty four to Jack Doel, and they 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.120 give up all over a hundred yards last week to 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.680 the three Tampa tight ends. So if you're at a 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.440 pinch for a tight end, Max Williams, maybe your guy here, 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.840 he may pick up a little bit. I mean he's 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.919 kind of come out of nowhere. Pretty much everyone's in 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.720 a pinch of tight end outside of three people in 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.400 your league. Matt Stafford, obviously he's an a. He's he's 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.040 just been so good there. The Rams line ranked second 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.440 class in past blocking by Pro Football Focus. They're just 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.640 three sacks and five hits. And to him in the 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.680 three games, Rob Alford, Byron Murphy and Marco Wilson, I 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.360 don't think they're cousin him to lose a whole lot 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.640 of sleep. So, I mean, he's a pretty obvious Cooper 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:52.960 Cup to start him. There's no NFC player Offensive Player 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.720 of the there's just start him, Robert Woods. And there 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.520 may be some disagreement here, I'm gonna give him a 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.080 I'm going to give him a B because is my 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.080 thought is that after watching last week's Tampa game, the 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.560 first thing out of Matthew Stafford's head was I need 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.320 to get Robert Woods more involved in this game. And 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.520 it seems to me that he just he's gonna look 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.839 and see. Okay, well, this here's a guy who in 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.080 his uh I believe he's played eight games against the Cardinals. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.120 He hasn't. He's in only one game. He's had less 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.599 than five catches and fifty yards. He has a good 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.880 history against them, so I I personally some people are 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.400 thinking of getting rid of him. Now there are people 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.240 dropping Robert. Well, they gotta get Robert Woods more involved 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.880 in Breakfast because it's the Breakfast Club of Cooper Clubs 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.640 and Matt Stafford and it's working out pretty well. Uh. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.160 First Cooper Tyler Higby, I I would give him at 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.720 least a see here because he's played the snaps. I 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.560 saw people dropping him after week to I'm like, what 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.600 you know? And he came back last week. I said, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.560 you know, he's going to be involved here. Darrell Henderson, 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.520 the interesting guy he's now in. I give him a be. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.560 The Cardinals defense is set up to foot to a 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.360 rush the quarterback. They're not set up for the run. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.720 That they have the third worst ranked past run defense 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.560 from Pro pro Football Focus. You know, the full fourth 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.320 most rushing yards. Their their defense is built to stop 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.200 the run. And yeah, he's got the rib injury, just 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.520 like like like DeAndre Hopkins. But you know, and I 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.080 don't know what you guys think of this. My personal 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.559 belief is that I believe Sean McVeigh when he says 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.520 that Darryl Henderson's guy. I know he gave Sony Mitchelly 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.920 showed last week that he trusted him. I think Darrell 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.160 Henderson's guy. So he's healthful, I think he I think 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.480 he gives him most of the work. Sony Walkman repaid 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.159 that trust with about two yards per carry, so you know, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.440 not worried about him, factory you personally. He had a 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.800 hell of a pass block though. That that's always a 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.040 good sign. I want to join that league, the past 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.320 block league, all right, think that's everything for that matchup, right, Yep, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.880 that's it, all right, Brian, Let's go over to the Lions. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.600 Kind of a dud game last week, but another opportunity 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.000 against the Bears defense that's not as good as recent versions. Yeah, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.520 and the Bears defense won't be very good at all, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.960 or definitely not as good without Kleil Mack, who is 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.039 uh nursing a foot injury right now, very questionable practice 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.480 on a limited basis on Friday, had not practiced throughout 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.320 the week before that, so we'll go under the assumption 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.960 he will play. So we'll start with DeAndre Swift. Give 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.200 him a b U. Swift currently RB three in PPR 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.680 right now, mostly because of the receiving averaging more than 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:24.640 six receptions per game. Only eleven carries per game for Swift, though, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.120 but UH coach Dan Campbell recently said We're going to 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.960 see a lot more of Swift. He also said something 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.720 about like biting off kneecaps too. Haven't seen that yet, 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.960 So to take of the grain of salt, we're gonna 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.880 talk more about DeAndre Swift later in this year. We 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.720 certainly will. Either way. It's a decent matchup for Swift. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.720 The Bears are allowing nearly one fifty combo yards per 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.720 game to running backs. Cleveland running backs just totaled eight 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.680 catches against Chicago last week, and for that reason, I'm 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.960 still giving a starting grade to Jamal Williams. Gonna give 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.240 him a CEE averaging fourteen opportunities per game. An opportunity 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.960 is a rush or a target. UH to the eighteen 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.040 opportunities from Swift, so nearly a timeshare. Again, we might 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.320 see more DeAndre swift, But why would you run swift 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.320 so much in a pretty much a lost season already 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.840 for the Lions. So I'm still starting Jamal Williams this 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.640 week against the Bears. Again said they are allowing more 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.800 than fifty compley yards per game to running back, so 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.840 I like both in this one. You gotta like t J. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.040 Hockinson even though he was arguably the biggest dud of 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.920 all duds last week. The Bears have only allowed nine 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:34.280 tight end catches on thirteen targets, but man, Hockinson is 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.720 not really a tight end. He's running over sixty of 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.440 his routes from the slot. He's essentially a wide receiver. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.800 The Bears have a very poor secondary, and Hockinson had 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:45.760 two very good games against the Bears last year, five 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.800 catches for fifty four yards in a touchdown in the 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.400 first meeting than seven catches for eighty four yards in 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.360 the second. So a safe b for t J. Hockenson. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.120 Uh Now, to the wide receiver is not very safe 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.920 at all. It's really calif Raymond and Quintessis. So the 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.280 Bears are top eight and yards and touchdowns allowed to 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.280 receivers in terms of the most five touchdowns to the 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.680 positions in three games, but deciphering which Lions wide receiver 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.520 to use here is pretty tough. Seas had fourteen targets 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.160 for the first through the first two games, but saw 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.960 just one target last week. Cliff Raymond total just six 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.839 targets for the first two weeks, but last week he 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.000 saw ten targets and caught six of them. And I 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.880 kind of like him because he runs out of the slot, 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.920 and the slot has been a disaster position for the 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.240 Bears all season, and so nobody's gonna start Cliff Raymond. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.120 But I'm telling you this, the opportunity is there for 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.199 a decent game this week year. If I had to 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.880 pick one, it is Raymond. I'm gonna give him a 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.920 ce uh se fist. I guess the sea as well. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.960 But only one of these guys is probably gonna produce, 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.520 And I like, I'm with you, charge it's a Cliff 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.280 Raymond for me. As for Jared Goff, got to put 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.680 him on the bench. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging less than 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.480 thirty pass attempts per game against the Bears, and just 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.559 at the thought of golf on the road in Chicago, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.920 I don't like it too much. In one quarterback League's 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.040 easy bench. Now, when it comes to an easy bench 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.120 or an easy start, it's certainly doesn't speak to the 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.160 Chicago Bears quarterback situation, where it's going to be a 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:14.400 game time decision by Matt Nagy's crafty. The Lions won't 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.199 know what hit him. But when he unveils the smartest 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.320 in the room, just as I mean, Andy Dalton has 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.560 dinged up, Justin Fields has dinged up. It could be 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.560 Nick Foles, whoever it is, I would, by the way, 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.480 if Dawnon's not ready, I'd play Foles at this point. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.600 I'm all about preserving Justin Fields and keeping him as 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.240 far from from Matt Nagy as possible. I'm worried is 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.400 gonna wreck his career? Absolutely yeah, I mean you really 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.600 doesn't need a game manager against the Lions, for for 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.400 the most part, who are allowing more than passing yards 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.920 and two passing touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. I'm 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.280 gonna give a C two whoever starts at quarterback for 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.320 the for the Bears, if it's Justin Fields, uh, sadly, 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.040 just to see for Allan Robinson as well a brutal 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.679 start to the year, a healthy free target share percentage, 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.559 but it is currently set in the second in receiving 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.240 yards per game at eight point seven. But if there's 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.040 a spot to get right, it's against Detroit. Opposing wide 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.400 receivers are averaging a hundred and eighty yards per game 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.839 as a whole. A. Rob had nearly identical games against 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.200 the Lions last year, five catches for seventy four yards 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.920 and then six catches for seventy five yards. Hopefully that 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.200 is his floora here. If it's not, we might be 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.199 talking about sabotage dropping Allen Robinson next week. So he 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.640 better come through against the Lions. I'm not expecting Darnielle 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.840 Mooney to come through, even he might not even play. 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.319 But even if he does, he's on the bench. He's 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.079 just not a good fit with Andy Dalton or pretty 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.880 much anyone at this point. He plays quarterback for the Bears. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.959 I do like Cole Commet. They're gonna give him a 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.520 CE just two catches across his last two games. Kind 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.880 of brutal. But the Lions are allowing eighty two yards 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.760 per game to tight ends, which is the third most, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.160 and commit had five catches, thirty seven yards and and 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.160 a touchdown in his last meeting with Detroit. So we 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.679 see for commit and I men give David Montgomery and 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.839 a looking like a true bell cow after playing of 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.840 the Snaps last week, Monty had two rushing touchdowns at 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.520 his last meeting with the Lions. Detroit has already surrendered 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.440 six total touchdowns running back, So a safe a for 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.800 David Montgomery based on volume alone. Chiefs take on the 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.199 Eagles and you know what to do with Mahomes and 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.240 Hill and Kelsey. Obvious a's against a secondary that was 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.200 just dissected by Dak Prescott on Monday night, and in 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.840 that game they ran at will against the Eagles. But 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:27.640 Clyde Edwards Despair is a totally different back than the 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.200 kind that just ran through the Eagles. Did have a 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.880 fumble last week, but he also posted his strongest running 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.079 game maybe ever, um, but that game did come across 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.960 come against the league's lowest ranked run defense, giving up 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:45.360 the most yards the Chargers, and stylistically, you know, ch 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.640 is just a different kind of runner than the guys 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.520 that have had success against the Eagles. So I'm not 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.520 still not crazy about him here. And the other thing 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.400 is Andy Read doesn't care about establishing momentum for Clyde 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.920 Edwards a layer the game after getting one hundred yards 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.960 throughout Clyde Edwards Hilaire's career, when he's had one yards 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:09.400 the next game, he's averaged nine carries. That's it. You mean, 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.120 if you're Andy Reid, you think you'd want to get 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.880 your kid going, but he's never done that in the past. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.640 And obviously the rare coaching revenge game for Andy Reid 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.440 going up kind of. I mean, you know, it's been 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.600 twenty years or something. C grade for Clyde Edwards, despair 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.080 HARTMTT Robinson, Pringle on the bench way to scatter shot 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.240 for me and Josh Gordon. No dice, not yet, not ever. 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.720 Let's go to the Eagles side of this game. Miles Sanders, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.280 so the B grade he's gonna bounce back after basically 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.800 being forgotten last week. Doug Peterson did he forget he 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.600 was on roster last week? I mean, he averaged thirteen 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.200 and a half yards per carry, so that was pretty good. 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.760 It was pretty good through two carries. The Chiefs have 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.080 given up at least nine d Combo yards to every 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.400 lead back they've faced, and they've also allowed five touchdowns 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.560 to running backs already. They are the worst run defense 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.120 in the league by a wide margin according to Pro 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.520 Football Focus, and the Eagles offensive line has provided Sanders 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:09.440 with four point four yards per carry before contact. That's 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.560 awfully impressed. When you get four and a half yards 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.240 before everybody's touching you, you're sitting on a good game. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.960 Bounce back coming for Miles Sanders with a B grade here. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.160 I like him in this setup. Let's go to the 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.320 passing game where Jalen Hurts bounces back as well. In 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.720 the past two games, Kansas Cities allowed monster performances on 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.840 the ground and through the air. Lamar Jackson h yard 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.880 game against Casey, Justin Herbert four touchdown passing game against 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.800 Casey one way or another or both. Justin Hurts is 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.080 gonna get it done here, Jalen Hurt, Excuse me, Here's 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.720 something I have not typed or uttered in years. The 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:52.800 Eagles receivers are better than their defensive counterparts. Even with 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.600 Josh Gordon now on Kansas City. I'm in defensive counterparts 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:01.320 Jalen reagor Quez, Watkins and divide to Smith are playing 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.720 at a higher level than the Chiefs. Cornerbacks cher Various Ward, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.000 Legarius Sneed, and Mike Hughes, who have Pro Football Focus 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:14.920 rankings of and so that is overall a positive set 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.920 of matchups for Hurts. Obviously, I like the receivers as well, 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.200 A B grade by the way, it hurts a B 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.920 grade on DeVonta Smith. Chiefs have allowed back to back 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.600 one h yard receivers and four touchdowns two receivers in 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.240 the past two games alone. Um Smith, where he runs 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.200 is going to see a lot of cher various ward 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.280 if he can even play, and it's an exploitable matchup. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.600 Smith averaging a healthy seven targets per game, and they're 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.240 throwing to him downfield. He just needs one of these 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.400 deep downfield ones that hit Jalen Reagor gets to see Ben. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.080 He started the season catching a lot of underneath balls 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.000 that's expanded a little bit more downfield. I love his 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.960 matchup against Mike Hughes when that one pops up, which 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.760 it will from time to time. And then Quiz Watkins 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.000 also a C grade. He's only averaging two point five 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.640 targets per game, so there's a to of risk here, 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.520 but he draws Legarius sneed second year player who has 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.240 allowed one percent of the passes in his coverage to 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.720 be completed. So we like Quez Watkins a lot in 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.160 this game as well. And let's wrap up with the 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.480 tight ends. Dallas Goddard has been a monster after the catch, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.360 ranking second best among tight ends at ten yards after 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.960 the catch. He's got a positive matchup with the Chiefs, 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:27.400 who are surrendering nearly eighty yards per game to the position. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.080 So I like Dallas Goddard here. Zachers used to be 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.760 at something. Now he's nothing. He's uh good game last week, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.440 but the prior two weeks were one and two catch games. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.400 So we're we're gonna avoid zach Ertz when we come back. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.280 Nine players upon whom you can take a chance. We'll 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.280 tell you who they are when we return Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.320 Walcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly a segment we call 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.760 take a chance on me. These are nine players not 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.800 normally in your starting lineup. Many of these guys are 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.400 available on the waiver wire right now. In fact, one 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.040 of mine definitely is, and another one of mine maybe 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.680 we started the quarterback position. Jeff, who have you got? 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.600 I got Sam Donald? He we know the McCaffrey injury. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.560 Donald has been averaging two yards through the air and 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.080 has three rushing touchdowns. Now, some of that threat could 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.800 have come from McCaffrey. But one thing here, Dallas has 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.000 allowed the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. To all 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.639 the talk of you know that the Tampa all these 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.840 passing large yards they've allowed, Dallas has only allowed three 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.440 fewer passing yards than Tampa. So you know, Brady and 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.400 air Bear and Hurts, they all went for over three 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.639 twenty six yards against him. Dallas has only had thirty 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.879 running back carries against them in thirty games. And I 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.879 don't think Chuba Hubbard. I don't think he gets more 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:10.679 than fifteen touches. I don't think they're gonna try and 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.000 grind it out with him like they might with McCaffrey, 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.040 to try and get things going. Both Tampa and the 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.160 Chargers had a pair of receivers have a huge games 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.520 against him, and then last week we saw on the 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.040 second half what they did with with with Jalen Hurts, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.520 all the points he put up in the second half. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.480 So Sam Donald's my guy. Yeah, I kind of like 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.320 it that that Dallas defensive line a disaster right now. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.600 So Sam Donalds should have some extra time in the pocket. Brian, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.000 you'll take a chance I mean quarterback. No Dan Arnold 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.960 for it hurts. I'll bring him up later. He's for 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.919 Donald will be all right. I got Ben Roethlisberger at 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:47.359 Green Bay unfortunately, also known as has been sauceless Burger. Um. 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.280 I can't take credit for that. I just merged two 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:54.320 nicknames together. Um, but big nobody was giving you credit. Alright, good? Uh, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.120 No one should give Ben Roethlisberger. He shouldn't be getting 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.720 a paycheck for the Steelers. So as so far this 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.200 year looked horrible. Twitter reminds Ben of that every day. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.160 But he gets his best wide receiver back this week 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.440 in Deante Johnson. He might lose Chase Clay Claypool. We'll 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.639 talk about that later. But the Packers have allowed the 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:15.120 most passing touchdowns so far with nine Kevin King thank 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:21.240 you know nine times? Button bar there. Yes, five went 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.760 to Jamis Winston, but Jared Goff and Jimmy Garoppolo put 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.600 up around two h fifty yards and two passing touchdowns, 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.919 numbers that Roethlisberger should replicate against the Packers team that 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.959 will presumably put up points at home. Taylor, Heineke goes 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.840 up against the Falcons. Falcons are destroyed by Jalen Hurts 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.399 and Tom Brady before stopping Daniel Jones last week. But 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.119 Daniel Jones lost his number two and three receivers in 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.960 that game, so that does not count. In total. Falcons 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.679 are allowing two hundred seventy yards and two point seven 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.720 passing touchdowns per game. I will take to seventy and 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.200 two point seven out of Taylor. Heineke. Uh, Heineke has 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.000 decent wheels. Jalen Hurts ran for sixty two rushing yards 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:58.919 against these Falcons. Maybe he gets some part of that 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.280 as well. Let's go to running back position. Jeff I 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.560 got Naive Hines. Last week. He had twelve touches. First 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.600 week he had fifteen. The second week he was un involved. 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.640 But remember Marlon Mack was active that week. So uh, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.679 Seattle is the only team that has a lot more 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.639 fantasy points to running backs. Uh. Their line is an 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.600 absolute mass. To think Taylor is going to get a 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.640 whole bunch of carries here, I you know, I don't 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:25.600 think so. And so far. The just one other note, Miami, 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.520 they've given up their second allowed in fantasy points. Like 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.879 I said, Damien Harris, David Devin Single, Terry Zack Moss 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.119 and Peyton Barber where the running backs they faced in 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.919 that And just one other note, Hines last week he 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:45.240 outtouched Taylor in red zone snaps four to one last week. Yeah, 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.439 and so you look at this week and how this 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.520 whole thing unfolds. I think that he is. I think 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.680 he's a pretty good start. All right, Brian, You're take 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:54.440 a chance of me running back. I got the Jets 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.800
