It's it's pretty fun and I shoot 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.679 out all the answers to it, so you can kind 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.800 of follow along on Twitter as I live tweet the 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:49.240 answers and everybody has a good time. The big highlight 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.320 of of the whole prop bet game in the last 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.880 decade was I always put one question on there will 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.960 a fan run on the field during the game. We've 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.480 had that at least once, right happened to last year. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.640 Last year there was and and it's always a throwaway. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.400 It's a free if you answer no, it's ten points 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.240 if you answer yes. It was three hundred fifty two 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.840 last year. But it's always a throwaway because everybody's like 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.480 it never happens. The security at the super Bowl, all 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.760 that stuff. It's it's a free ten points. It happened 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.200 last year. My son, my sixteen year old at the time, son, 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.840 he was the only one who went. He won the 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.959 wouldn't you hit it? Because the ratio is one? Yeah, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.240 I think I'd have played it that way every time, 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.079 or at least I downgraded it quite a bit this 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.839 year because it broke the game. I bet, I bet, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.640 and your son won. He won it. Therefore you have 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.440 to switch it to he can't. He can't win again 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.880 because I won the year before and and this this, this, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.120 the suggression will not stand. Yeah. I like that. You 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.960 gotta you gotta, you gotta give your kid a beat 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.399 down whenever you can. All Right, So that's what's coming 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.280 up on Fantasy Football Weekly. Let's let's dive into the games. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.040 Uh And I've got the pledgure of breaking down this game. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.799 Jump in whenever you want, man, And I'm gonna start 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.799 on the Cincinnati side, and I'm gonna start with the 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.880 running game, which I am not a fan of. I 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.320 am really down in Joe Mixon. Were this a betting podcast, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.560 I'd be telling you about taking the under on Joe 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:19.200 Mixon podcast After the Break A little bit um so 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.480 it he looks like a guy who is laboring under 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.359 the burden of three hundred thirty five touches this year. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:31.359 That's Derrick Henry, it really is. He's averaging over the 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.320 last eight games, Joe Mixon is averaging three point four 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.840 yards per carry. That's kind of that's the stuff that 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.920 we that gets you cut. If you're not the lead 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.480 runner on your team, that's bad. And then he plays 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.360 the Rams correct, that's gonna be a bigger problem. I'll 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.160 get to that in just a second. You might be 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.920 tempted to think, well, Okay, he's been laboring under all 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.120 these carries, but he's had the week off. But I 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.480 will remind you, Matt he had the week off in 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.600 week eighteen. Oh and he came back the next week 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.000 with a forty eight yard game on two and a 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.560 half yards per carry. And that was against a Raiders 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.640 team that wasn't a great run defense either, not at all. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.560 In fact, a very favorable run defense. So there's no 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.880 guarantee that week the week off will help Joe Mixon. Here, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.159 the Rams were the second best run defense in the 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.240 second half of the season, giving up just three point 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.839 four yards per carry. If that were applied to a 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.440 full season, they would have been the number one run 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.719 defense in the NFL. And Um, the positive for Joe 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.599 Mixon is the heavy usage through the air. Lately. He's 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.719 top twenty seven yards through the year in five straight games, 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.720 but prior to that, he wasn't really catching at all. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.000 He was averaging two catches fourteen yards of game. So 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.920 these last five games, I mean, it's trending the right way, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.039 but it you know, if you look over the bulk 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.039 of his entire career and even the season, Joe Mixon 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.440 was not a reliable pass catcher. C grade on Joe Mixon. 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.520 There's a there's a better reliable pass catcher from the 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.520 SINC backfield that we'll talk about later. Okay, I'm sure, 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.640 oh here talking about And he's trending the white right 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.520 way with more catches too, all right, So let's go 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.000 to the passing game, and Jamar Chase is electrifying. Of course, 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.200 he's averaging a whopping nine targets per games since weeks 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:20.880 week sixteen. Nine times, wait the nine times, we got it? 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:27.080 Thank heavens. Um, he's uh, he has topped nine six 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.479 yards in seven of the last nine games for Jamaar Chase. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.359 But will Chase see Jalen Ramsey is the big question. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.120 I think the answer is probably and mostly but not 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:48.000 necessarily probably mostly yes, um, so people see him each other, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.960 so Chase can ruin the game in a way. Northern 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.000 Bengal Ken the Rams know that they've got to put 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.799 Ramsey on Chase a fair amount, if not all the time, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:03.240 almost all the time, But historically the Rams would prefer 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.880 to use Ramsey on a more physical wide out, and 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.360 that would be te Higgins. So I don't know that 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.120 there's a there's some kind of a mandate for Ramsey 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:13.920 to chase him around. And then the next question, is 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.240 Ramsey a death sentence for Jamaar Chase. The answer is 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.560 kind of, you know, here's why he's Profitball focuses number 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.000 one ranked coverage cornerback. Over the course of the full season, 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.000 Ramsey is giving up thirty five yards per game and 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.200 point two touchdowns per game in his that's it. So 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.880 that doesn't bode well for Jamaar Chase if Ramsey's on him. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.800 Also a solid tackler, he only missed eight tackles the 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.040 entire year, twenty games this year, played them all only 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.240 misstate tackles all year, and he's giving up just fourteen 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.880 yards of yak per game. That's not much. That's not 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.359 a lot of yak. So but you know, we don't 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.120 know for sure that Ramsey's gonna be on Chase, but 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.040 you gotta figure Ramsey's gonna be on Chase a lot, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.719 and hasn't. Ramsey played a lot of one side of 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.160 the field mostly this year, and they deployed him as 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.280 a depends It's a great question, depends on who they're 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:09.640 facing against teams that have one alpha receiver, Ramsey shadows 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.880 teams that have two Alpha receivers. Ramsey tends to play 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.600 one Bengals like the Bengals have kind of So this 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.720 is why I'm saying, we just nobody outside of l 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.800 A really knows for sure how Ramsey were gonna is 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.560 gonna work. So it feels like it's going to be 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:28.960 probably a sixty forty split could be, but it's it's 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.640 hard to know for sure. And if I were the Bengals, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.880 I wouldn't want to let Jamar Chase wreck my wreck 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.160 my game, and I put Ramsey on him more than 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.760 I otherwise would absolutely all right, let's talky about te Higgins, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.840 since we've alluded to him a number of times. If 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.680 you do believe that the Rams are gonna do whatever 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.640 is necessary to stop Jamar Chase from single handedly beating them, 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.720 t Higgins can do well in non Ramsey coverage. You know, 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.080 I was looking for teams, other teams to face the 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.920 Rams that had two good receivers, and how the other 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.560 receiver did Brandon Ayou hundred in seven yards in Week 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.840 eighteen and then seventy yards in the NFC Championship Game. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.440 A J This is recently a J Green put up 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.600 a hundred two yards in a secondary rule. So you 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.920 know there are some cases where we've seen the number 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.920 two receiver do particularly well. I've got a B grade 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.680 and Tie Higgins I should mention a B grade on 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.280 Jamaar Chase as well. Both are fair. Tyler Boyd is 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.000 also a B grade. Real. I like Boyd a lot 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.360 in this matchup. So we know, the one place we 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.120 know Jalen Ramsey's not going to be is in the slot. Okay, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.240 he is not gonna get any Jalen Ramsey um. And 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.760 Tyler Boyd's actually on the field even more than Tee Higgins. 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.480 He's a slot receivers on the field more than Tee 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.600 Higgins is higher snap count. He's had five or more 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.679 targets in eight of the last nine games. Tyler Boyd 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.880 has and some other slot receivers have done very well 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.720 in the slot against l A. Recent matchups include Deebo 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.679 Samuel three meetings against this team, since we tend primarily 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.360 not only but prepared primarily running from the slot, seventy 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.760 two yards and ninety seven yards and ninety five yards 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.080 Christian Kirk twice since week fourteen fifty one yards, eighty 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:12.440 six yards, Randall Cobb ninety five yards, kJ Osbourne sixty 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.440 eight yards. These are all second half of the season 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.920 slot performances. I can hear you on all of those. 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.400 The debo thing is kind of broken, but the other ones, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.960 they're still good numbers there. So I do like that 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.600 from a slot perspective, and he's probably worth throwing in 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.720 a few DFS lineups if you're playing Tyler Boyd and betting, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.160 and he's gonna be cheap his UH over under his 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.200 only I believe thirty two yards Tyler. I'm I like 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.040 the over um on for Tyler Boyd quite a bit. Um. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.280 The last guy I want to talk about is the 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.440 quarterback Joe Burrow. Um. I like, I've got all these 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.400 B grades and his receivers, So I like Joe Burrow. Um, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.600 I don't love him here. I gotta give him a B, right, 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.120 I gotta give him a B with of all those 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.720 receivers were be I gotta give him a B. So 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.000 I did. Um. I love his ability to play his 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.559 best in big games. Right. So, whether you want to 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.600 look at these playoffs, you want look at the l 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.960 s U championship, if you want to look at his 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.120 high school championship game in which he his offense through 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.679 for fifty two points and lost. He said he was 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.280 more nervous for his high school championship game than he 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.520 was for the l s U National Championship game because 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.120 now he's now, he's had the reps, and he's never 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.160 lost a playoff game in college or the pros. Yeah, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.800 he did in the high school. I lost that one, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.120 but his team put a fifty two points. He's like, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.319 never again, never again shall I lose in the playoffs. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.520 Over the last nine games, the Rams are good, not 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.880 dominating past defense, but they're good. Over the last nine games, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.080 they're allowing half a touchdown pass and two yards per game. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.160 And over that stretch they faced Kyler Murray twice, Russell Wilson, 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.600 Tom Brady, Kirk Cousins. So some good quarterbacks all right 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.880 in that mix for Joe Burrow. Let's go to the 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:54.040 ram side. Um, Let's start with the running game here. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.080 I do not like this running game. I do not 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.559 like them, Sam, I am no. So let's not Cam Acres. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.880 He's he's still dealing to at least some degree with 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.040 the shoulder injury from the game two weeks ago. Fumbles 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.439 have hurt him, injuries have hurt him, but more than 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.600 anything else, he hasn't look that good. He's averaging two 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.080 point six yards per carry since his return. Okay, that's it. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.520 That's not great. He's done. Honestly, he's done nothing to 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.520 warrant the start over Sony Michelle. I mean, if you 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.760 just just took those separate players, and you know I 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.040 feel about Sony Walkman. I'm not here to make any 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.240 excuses for Sony Walkerman. He's he's been better than the 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.960 version of cam Akers that we've seen. Some Acres has 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.360 seen the Niners run defense, which is pretty good is twice. Yeah, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.840 he's seen the Bucks run defense, which is where the 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.920 best in the league, and then the Cardinals, which they 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.200 were much improved this year as well. So and the 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.360 Bengals are bad. For a second here, um, but I 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:57.400 think there's a real scenario where Acres, maybe there's only 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.560 a five percent chance it doesn't even get the start. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.720 They go to Michelle who's healthy, uh and more effective, 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.800 or they do hot hand where you know, they try 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.440 both guys early and Michelle looks better that he just 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.800 runs away with this thing and we don't even see Acres. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.640 That scenario is definitely out there based on how Acres 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.080 has played. Fortunately, the Bengals run defense is a real weakness. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.600 The biggest weakness on the whole team is the run defense, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.800 giving a four point eight yards per carrying the second 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.400 half of the regular season and five and a half 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:28.160 yards per carrying the playoffs. Well, and Jerick McKinnon looked 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.960 awesome in the first half of that game against the 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.600 Bengals in the conference championship game, and then inexplicably, the 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.120 Chiefs just stopped running the ball in the second half 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.320 and and they lost because of it, I think so. 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.800 I I think that McVeigh has seen that, and I 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.840 think that there will be a healthy dose of running 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.199 in this game for the Rams, just not sure to whom. Yep, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.560 it could be a good fifty fifty split in this one. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.880 So I've got Acres with the Seep, got Sony Michelle 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.120 with the Sea. Darren Henderson is expected to be available 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.000 for this game, but I do not trust him in 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.120 this one to have a meaningful role. Hasn't played in 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.120 whatever six weeks, been a long time. All right, let's 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.679 go to the passing game. I want to start with 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:09.360 Cooper Cup. Oh really right, Um, I'm the only guy 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.200 that's that's a little nervous about Cooper Cup. I heard 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.600 you talking with p a On on the on the 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.880 Football Feast today and you were you were explaining why 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.960 you thought the under on his over under on the 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.720 yards I'd hit was the was the correct play. Yes, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.760 you already know Cooper cups great. I'm not even gonna 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.840 focus on his on how good Cooper Cup is, but 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.400 I want to talk to you about why this is 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.640 a tricky matchup for him. Cooper Cup runs almost his 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.520 routes from the slot. That means he's going to see 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.600 Mike Hilton. These two met up, have met up one 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.000 time prior two years ago and Hilton was still in 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:49.360 Pittsburgh and Cooper Cup had no catches on four targets. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.800 They were Jared Goff targets. I have reason they were. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.319 They were Jared Goff targets. So that's just one day 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.880 to point and it doesn't carry a lot of weight 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.560 with me, but it's still out there and I want 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.160 to make sure people know that Hilton is very good. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:08.400 He slowed a similarly explosive Tyreek Hill last week last game, 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.200 allowing just twenty two yards to Tyreek Hill in his 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:16.400 coverage in the wild card round with another tricky matchup 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.760 out of the slot, Hunter renfro One catch six yards. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.920 I mean, if you're gonna use history as a as 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.760 a guideline, Cooper Cup has one game against the Bengals 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.200 in his history. You know what he did in that game, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.200 the score, and I thought about I thought about bringing 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.760 it up, but there's nobody in this secondary that was 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.960 on the field bed It was three years ago too, 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.080 so it was a lot of time ago. So I'm 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.840 not trying to make my killing sound like the second 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.040 Coming in Dion Sanders. He's good, and I think you 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.560 can show a little bit of caution on Cooper Cup. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.480 I'm going he's good, but Cooper Cups is arguably the 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.400 m v P of the league. I'd give him the 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.240 m v And I know I'm talking to the two 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.120 people You and I either two people at like Cooper 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.920 Cup in the preseason more than anybody. No, but still 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:09.760 I am showing a little bit of caution. Okay, there 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.960 we go. Sooner or later I was gonna find gonna 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:19.360 find them out right, all right, Let's talk Odell Beckham. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.320 Um surging of late with increasing receptions and yards and 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.160 four straight games, and if you do believe Cup is 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.120 going to be just slowed by Mike, by Mike Hilton, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.600 that could put some extra receptions towards Odell Beckham much 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:38.800 like we have been seeing lately Um, and he'll see 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.920 likely a lot of chidobe A Woozier, who is the 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.560 best of the coverage corners that the Bengals have. He's 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.600 been very good and he always takes He generally shadows 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.360 the opposing team's best outside receiver. You won't move to 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.200 the slots, he won't get Cup, but he'll be on 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.360 Beckham for this game. Um Woozia is having a good season. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.760 He's profoba focuses fifteen ranked cornerback. He has given up 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.520 scores in each of the last two games. I'll mention 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.640 that uh Tyreek Hill scored last week in a j 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.680 Brown killed him two weeks ago, two games ago, rolling 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.480 up a hundred thirty four yards. But on the season, 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.720 Ousia was very good. So I'm sure a little caution 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.200 I'm backing, but a lot. I've got to be great 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:19.680 on him, and I think he gets some use here. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.040 And then the other receiver that we should talk about 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.760 is Van Jefferson. The beauty of Van Jefferson in this 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.960 game is gonna get Eli Apple for most of the game, 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:33.000 and Apples terrible by far the weak point. Jefferson's my guy. Now. 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.960 The problem is Van Jefferson is good for three targets 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:41.920 a game. That's it. So he's hope that's all he needs. Um. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.720 He has had it that he has had either one 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.440 or two catches in seven of the last eight games. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.600 For Van Jefferson's He's got to do a lot with 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:54.160 the catches that he does get. UM. So with Eli 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.200 Apple there, I can't put him on the bench, even 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:57.800 in only one or two catches, I'm giving him a 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.080 Sea Greggs. The chance of a big game is there. Yeah, 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.760 And O'Dell has been been fantastic in the last few 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.000 weeks too, with eleven targets last week in the conference 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.440 championship game. It's obvious that he's feeling better than he's 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.840 ever felt before, Like from a headspace perspective, winning help. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.439 It feels. It feels like he's back to the old 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.719 Odell that everybody wanted on their fantasy teams. Maybe this 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.480 is the last glimpse of it, because he's gonna have 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.040 to go for a big contract after this year. But 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.479 this might be peque O'Dell maybe for the remainder of 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.400 his career. Maybe um, you know what, he doesn't do 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.359 the circus catches that he did with a Giant aren't 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.520 are not there anymore for whatever reason. Well, he doesn't 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:46.800 have you know, Eli Manning throwing Stafford. He's got better target. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.800 Either either they're way off there or they're right on. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.159 So let's talk a little Kendall Blanton. There we go. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.760 I love Kendall Blanton. Higby ain't going you know, they 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.000 may do some smoke screw ruse about Higbee maybe playing 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.560 through his m c l. It's not gonna happen. McVeigh 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:10.840 and Stafford have shown no hesitation in using Blanton. Last week, 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.920 they targeted him five times. He caught all five passes 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.760 put a fifty seven yards. Cincinnati very generous too tight 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.560 ends this year, allowing the fourth most tight end receptions, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.240 the fourth most tight end yards, the sixth most tight 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.119 end touchdowns. Kelsey murdered the Bengals last week. Darren Waller 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.199 wracked up seventy six yards and seven catches in the 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.280 wild card round. And I'm not saying Kendall Blanton is 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.760 Kelsey or Waller obviously, but the opportunities are going to 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.280 be there for Kendall Blanton, and I've got to be 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.879 great on him. I got Kendall Blanton as one of 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:50.920 my special prep bet good, we can expand on this one. Good. Uh, 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.240 let's see. And then Matthew Stafford, so I've got all 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.640 of his receivers have a B grade except Van Jefferson 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.080 is a C grade. So I've got to be great 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.080 on Stafford, which I was. It feels right. Cincinnati's twenty 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.120 games this year, only three quarterbacks of top two touchdowns. 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.399 So I don't think it's an explosive game coming from Stafford. 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.119 But something in the neighborhood of two touchdowns and two 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.199 hundred sixty two yards sounds about right here, and that 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.600 gives them a be great all right, all right, So 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.560 there's your breakdown on the Super Bowl. Easy. It all 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.760 sounds so simple now, sounds so simple. But and then 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.280 the game seven to ten, it will all be garbage. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.560 Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl? Um? 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.720 I've got the Rams narrowly if and when I was 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.760 on the radio earlier today, Matt I said, if these 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.879 teams played ten times, I think the Rams would win 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.960 like six of them. So if I were betting the game, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.800 I would actually bet the Bengals money line at plus 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.919 one sixty five. And but I think the Rams are 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.960 more likely to win the game, if that makes sense, 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.360 That are minus two hundred. So just from a pure 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.639 betting standpoint, I would I'm picking the Rams to win, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.199 but I would pick the four and a half four 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.960 and a half, So yeah, I think I think Bengals 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.040 with the points is a play, isn't it. So those 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.439 those four and a half are are definitely interesting fun. Alright, 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.840 speaking of fun, Yeah, let's take a break. When we 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.520 come back, I want to talk through some of your unique, 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.639 odd ball, many cases prop bets for the Super Bowl. 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.119 Stay tuned for the next segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.760 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.679 with you Shock Fantasy dot Com.

Uh a 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.560 coincidence that your kids school colors are the Salmons Act 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.600 colors of Shock Fantasy. Well, yellow is my favorite color, 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.440 and blue just works really well with yellow. So I mean, 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.600 obviously obviously I'm on the rams apparently, so um. So yeah, 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.320 let's talk some prop bets. Let's do it, baby. So 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.600 I do this big prop bet game that you mentioned 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.600 earlier in the show.
