Speaker 6: No, No, we are drinking now that we do whatever

00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 6: we want. Well, while the cat's away.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 7: The charge, I want to know what the odds and

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 7: eads are if you're in Vegas.

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: or do you feel like you've got it mastered and

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: you'll be ready to just jump in whenever you need

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: to touch.

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 4: Let's try it, let me, let me go with our

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: classic nine.

31
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: Times nine time. I think you got it figured out well?

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: I feel so well.

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I mentioned it's winning your in week. It's the

34
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: week before the playoffs, so for a lot of you,

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: you have to have this win. We're here to help.

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: We'll break down all the games Fantasy Football Weekly style

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: with letter grades on every player who matters. Plus take

38
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: a chance on me nine players that you can unearth.

39
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: Maybe you've been rocking Sam Howel for a long time

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: and you need a replacement quarterback. We're here to help.

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: Three tough questions later on in the show. Yeah, nicely done,

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: because that's gonna be my only chance to uh to

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: mention Sam Howel today.

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I dropped a half a howl half.

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: We'll take a half how and we'll answer three tough

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: questions later on in the show. Only one team on

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: by so it means we've got a lot of games

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: to break down, and we begin with Carolina taking on

49
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: New Orleans Scott not a lot to like in Carolina,

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: even the usually reliable Adam Thielen has dried up of late.

51
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: Do you have many, if any starting grades for Panthers here?

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 7: Can I be honest, I don't have many starting grades

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 7: in this matchup at all. I mean, we got Bryce

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 7: Young top, but he's facing a top twelve pass defense.

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 7: Bryce hasn't top two hundred yards since we gave He's

57
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 7: only got one multi score game. I do have him

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: on the bench against the Saints here, others in the

59
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 7: past game Adam Feelen and Jonathan Mingo. I have him

60
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 7: on the bench, but I'm gonna note quickly Saints are

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 7: second best against the perimeter, but they're ninth worst against

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 7: the slot, and we two thelan had himself.

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: A day against them.

64
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 7: So it's a good spot if you're really in desperation

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 7: dart mode, dart throw mode. But I do have him

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: on the bench because what we saw last week is

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 7: the coaching staff didn't really feed him. Me I believe

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 7: three targets. I think he had caught all three of

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 7: those targets. But Jonathan Mingo also kind of in that

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 7: dart throw ring range. I have him on the bench.

71
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: He kind of broke.

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 7: Out last week the coaching staff threw ten targets at him.

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 7: That new coaching staff after Frank Reich was fired. He

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 7: was almost my take a chance on my me player

75
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 7: last week because the good matchup. But in this one

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 7: he's gonna get Paulson Adebu, who's been great with Latimore

77
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 7: on IR. The nice things about Mingo he's on the

78
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 7: field ninety five percent of the time. It's just a really,

79
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 7: really tough matchup. Again, you have to be desperate, so

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 7: I do have him on the bench. Dart throw desperate Chubb.

81
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 7: You know what I forgot this, This is where we

82
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 7: need to charge. There's the dearth throw, Darth throw for

83
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 7: Jonathan Mingo.

84
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: Chewba Hubbard.

85
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 7: I'm giving a B grade two once again with the

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 7: coaching staff. We saw what they wanted to do last

87
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 7: week very clearly. He gave Chewba Hubbard twenty five carries

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 7: only through to running backs four times, two or twice,

89
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 7: and both were to Miles Sanders. Cuba and Miles combined

90
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 7: for one hundred and seven in a week two in

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 7: this matchup. But a lot has changed since then. Five

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 7: of six lead backs against the Saints over the last

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 7: six weeks have scored, including three straight. The one who

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 7: didn't totaled ninety seven yards. So it's been an OK

95
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 7: matchup for the lead back. The Saints still give up

96
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 7: match in the pass game twenty two point eight yards

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 7: per game at pass game to running backs, but similar

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 7: volume backs. What Cuba was doing last week, what he's done,

99
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 7: you know, the twenty ish touch running backs eighty three yards,

100
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 7: ninety yards, ninety one yards, ninety five yards. I wouldn't

101
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 7: be surprised if he gets eighty two one hundred yards

102
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 7: likelihood of scoring because that's what New Orleans has been

103
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 7: allowing recently. So I got a B grade on Chewba Hubbard.

104
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 7: On the other side, I got nothing in the pass game.

105
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 7: I don't even care if it's car or Winston going.

106
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 7: The Panthers are allowing one hundred and ninety one passing

107
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 7: yards per game. That's just nothing. Teams are just running

108
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 7: on him. They they're just.

109
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll just say quote unquote allowing there. They're allowing

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 6: that much because no one throws on them.

111
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna find the love hurts because this

112
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 7: is really an everybody runs situation against Carolina. I hope

113
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 7: you like my singing there so I know Kamara can

114
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 7: be an extension through the pass game, but I don't

115
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 7: think he's gonna do enough forget to get stats for

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 7: the quarterback here, Chris a Lave is the only wide

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 7: receiver I'm considering starting only receiving option. Honestly, Taysom Hill's

118
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 7: been missing practice all week. Rashi Ya Heat is still

119
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 7: in protocol. Chris Alave has been out with an illness

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 7: but is expected to play. It's a tough match matchup.

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 7: Winston targeted a Lave forty percent of the time once

122
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 7: car went down, and Carr was already targeting him like

123
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 7: twenty five to thirty percent of the time. One one

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 7: fun stat here I got for Chris a Lave. He's

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 7: averaging over two PPR points per target, not per catch,

126
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 7: per target over the last four They're just hyper targeting

127
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 7: him and he's getting fantasy points on those targets. The Panthers,

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 7: despite holding the pass game down, are bottom eight on

129
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 7: deep ball pass rate allowed, which Chris a Lave or

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 7: Shahida if he does go. But Chris Alave definitely can

131
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 7: make Hay with I do have a not very confident

132
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 7: a grade on him on the assumption he's going to

133
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 7: get ten plus touches. There are ten plus targets. Alvin Kamara,

134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 7: I do have an A grade on because everyone runs

135
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 7: on Carolina. We've talked about it a couple of times.

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 7: He's averaging twelve PPR points just on pass game work.

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 7: If he hasn't been very explosive or very efficient in

138
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 7: the run game, but this is the matchup for him.

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 7: Sim Yeah, carolinea allows the fifth highest yards per carry,

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 7: fourth highest rushing yards, and the most rushing scores.

141
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: A grade on Alvin Kamara.

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: You know, Carolina, you're talking about the good pass defense.

143
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: They got J. C. Horn back and he is a

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: terrific cornerback, so I think it's a pretty legitimate good

145
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: good pass defense. Yeah, Brian, let's head over to you.

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: Seattle takes on San Francisco. Gino Smith coming off a

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: dramatically better game than I expected last week against Dallas,

148
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: but right back into the grinder in a tough matchup

149
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: at San Francisco.

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, tough matchup, and he's also dealing with the groin injury,

151
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 6: still listed officially as questionable to play. And I do

152
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 6: want to mention real quick Seattle and San Francisco just

153
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 6: met in Week twelve. The forty nine Ers rolled the

154
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 6: Seahawks thirty one to thirteen in that game, so starting

155
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 6: with Gino, he only had one hundred and eighty scoreless

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 6: passing yards in that first meeting against the forty nine Ers,

157
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 6: who are ranked third and pass coverage by Pro Football Focus.

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: San Francisco has surrendered just twelve passing touchdowns all season.

159
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: That's the second fewest with fifteen interceptions, the most in

160
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 6: the league. So Gino on the bench for me even

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 6: if he plays, And for his receivers dk Metcalf, Jack

162
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 6: Smith and Jig but Tyler Lockett, I have a C

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 6: on all of them. These three combined for just eight

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 6: catches and one hundred and three scoreless yards in that

165
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: first meeting meeting, meaning they all should have been benched. Really,

166
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 6: but odds are at least one producers here. The forty

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 6: nine Ers have yielded the third most targets to wide

168
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 6: receivers and the fourth most red zone targets, so game

169
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 6: script should favor the passing game, even if you know

170
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 6: it sits. But I will give this put so I'll

171
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: put a C on all three wide receivers, and I

172
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 6: have a C on Kenneth Walker and Zach Sharbonay, who

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 6: are both expected to play. Walker will be returning from

174
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 6: an oblique injury. Sharbon Nay is dealing with a knee injury.

175
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: As a bad matchup, though, you know what, I'm changing

176
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 6: my mind. If they both play, they're both on the bench.

177
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 6: It's a brutal matchup. If one sits, I will start

178
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 6: the other. But if both are, if both are active,

179
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 6: they're both on the bench.

180
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: For me.

181
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 6: Over to the San Francisco side, Christian McCaffrey is certainly

182
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: not on the bench. Easy A for him not getting

183
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: into that. Brandon Ayuk gonna give him a B. The

184
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 6: game script did not favor the forty nine ers game

185
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 6: when these teams first met. It was a CMC ground game.

186
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 6: But Ayuk did catch two passes for fifty yards and

187
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 6: a touchdown, and the Seahawks are allowing a healthy fourteen

188
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 6: catches one hundred and sixty yards and one touchdown per

189
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 6: game to opposing wide out. So B for Ayuk. Also

190
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 6: at B for Deebo Samuel. He had a good game

191
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 6: in that first meeting, seven catches for seventy nine yards.

192
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 6: He added fifteen rushing yards with a rushing score in

193
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: that game, So a B for Samuel just to see.

194
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 6: For George Kittle, though, he was quiet in the first

195
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 6: meeting three catches for nineteen scoreless yards, and he didn't

196
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 6: do much against Seattle in the playoffs last year either,

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 6: two catches for thirty seven scoreless yards. The Seahawks have

198
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 6: surrendered just two tight end touchdowns, but they are allowing

199
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 6: more than five catches and fifty yards per game to

200
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: the position. That's decent production. So the sea for Kittle,

201
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: and lastly, just a be on brock party modest two

202
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: hundred and nine passing yards, had one touchdown in the

203
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 6: first meeting. Again, it was a CMC ground game. Hopefully

204
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 6: Seattle keeps it a little cliar. Dak Prescott has had

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 6: a monster game against Seattle last week. You're not sitting

206
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 6: Rockberdy basically, so be on him, you know.

207
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: I'll note that although George Kittle did have a quiet

208
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: game when these teams met earlier this year, last year

209
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: in the two meetings, four touchdowns for George Kittle in

210
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: these matchups.

211
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 6: So yes, in the regular season, he was quiet in

212
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 6: the playoffs, but uh yeah, Kittle is a Spike week player.

213
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 5: You never know.

214
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: I don't think he has a super high ceiling, but

215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: you're not gonna sit him obviously.

216
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about Detroit taking on Chicago. These

217
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: teams also just met a couple of weeks ago. Let's

218
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: start with the passing game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: and obvious a here. He had an eight catch seventy

220
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: seven yard game with a touchdown when they met three

221
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: weeks ago. He runs from the slot, refaces competent but

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: not special cornerback Kyler Gordon. Chicago allows the fifth shortest

223
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: average pass and that's kind of I'm on Ross Saint

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: Brown's game anyway, is those quick passes and then yards

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 3: after the catch. So nothing here to deter you from

226
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: starting I'm on Ross sat round like you normally would.

227
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: Sam Laporta posted season lows against the Bears in the

228
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: first matchup, but the Bears have allowed the tenth most

229
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: points to tight ends this season, kind of middle of

230
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: the pack. They've allowed five touchdowns on the season to

231
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 3: tight ends, including one to TJ. Howkinson last week. Come

232
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: in with a B grade on la Porta. We think

233
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: in totality is probably a lot better than what he

234
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: showed against the Bears last time, and all the other

235
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: Detroit wide receivers are on the bench. They cannibalize each

236
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: other and it's a tricky matchup. Over the past five weeks,

237
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: Chicago allowing the third fewest yards per game to opposing

238
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: wide receivers, in no small part because the emergence of

239
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: elite cornerback Jalen Johnson just suffocating opponents. To this point,

240
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: he's giving up two receptions for ten yards in his

241
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: coverage over the last five weeks. It is nuts. Yeah,

242
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: so everybody else on the bench, let's go to the runners.

243
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: There's some reason for caution here. Well, actually, while we're

244
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: doing the receiving game, let me go to Jared Goff,

245
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: who comes in with a B grade. In Chicago's pass

246
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: defense dramatically improved, as I mentioned. Fortunately, the individual matchups

247
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: for I'm on, Russaint Brown and Sam Laporte, I think

248
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: are good enough that GoF remains fairly stable here. Chicago

249
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: has allowed multiple touchdown passes in three of the past

250
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: five and I think Goff is in that one to

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: two range for touchdowns, hopefully on the two sides. So

252
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: given him the B grade. For David Montgomery Jamiir Gibbs,

253
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: this is a tricky matchup.

254
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 5: Now.

255
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: Bears run defense has been good really all year, but

256
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: even better lately. They all the fifth fewest rushing yards

257
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: per game, the second fewest yards per attempt. They rank

258
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: number two in ESPN's run stuff win rate. No back

259
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: is top seventy six yards against Chicago all season. And

260
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: then the Bears only give up sixty four rushing yards

261
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: per game. And if Gibbs and Montgomery have to split

262
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: sixty four rushing yards, that's not great good No, Now,

263
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: the good side for more Gibbs than Montgomery is that

264
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: the Bears do give up the third most targets in

265
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: the third most reception, so I think that helps Gibbs,

266
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: and he did put up six catches for fifty nine

267
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: yards when these teams met a few weeks ago. The

268
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: other side that I think Brian will appreciate revenge game

269
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 3: for David Montgomery in Chicago. So there's that angle c

270
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: grades for both Montgomery and Gibbs in a very difficult matchup.

271
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 6: It was a buzzer beater touchdown, game winning touchdown for

272
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 6: David Montgomery, I believe in the first meeting as well.

273
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right about that. Actually, so that's science.

274
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: Let's go to Let's go to the let's go to

275
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: the bear side of this. This is a lot shorter.

276
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: All the Chicago Runners are on the bench because it's

277
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: a three way cluster boinc between Herbert Johnson and Foreman.

278
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: And Detroit's a good run defense. Nobody's top. Nobody topped

279
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: thirty five rushing yards in the previous meeting between these teams,

280
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: and the Lions rank number two in rushing yards allowed

281
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: at just sixty one per game. And if you got

282
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: to split sixty one yards three ways, gross, if I

283
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 3: had to pick one and be Foreman, who I think

284
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: is the most likely to get goal line carries. But

285
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: I'm keeping them all on the bench. In the passing game,

286
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: you only care about Justin Fields and Dj Moore, let's

287
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: start with Justin Fields. He ran for one hundred and

288
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: four yards in the meeting a few weeks ago. Detroit's

289
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: only faced one other mobile quarterback. That was Lamar Jackson,

290
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: who also ran for a touchdown in his game. Lions

291
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: are ranked twenty sixth and pass coverage by Pro Football Focus.

292
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: They've given up at least three passing touchdowns in three

293
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: their last six games, so Fields has got some passing upside.

294
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: He's got rushing upside in this one. A grade for

295
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: justin fields. Let's hope they keep running him man.

296
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 7: And then DJ call from a couple of weeks ago,

297
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 7: a bunch of A grades for fields.

298
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, DJ Moore, huge game on Thanksgiving? Was I think

299
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: it was a Thanksgiving that these teams met. I think

300
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: it was.

301
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 5: There.

302
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: We go nicely done? All right? On top of things,

303
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: over the last five weeks, Detroit has allowed the fifth

304
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: most yards and the most touchdowns per game to opposing

305
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: wide receivers, and they allow the fourth highest a dot

306
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: at nine yards and the deep balls DJ Moore specialty,

307
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: So we like teams that are gonna give up the

308
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: deep ball. He runs from the outside. That means we'll

309
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: see a lot of cornerback Jerry Jacobs, who over the

310
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: last five weeks, get this is allowing a passer rating

311
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: of one hundred and fifty three. Fifty eight is perfect.

312
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 4: It's almost perfect.

313
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Jerry Jacobs almost perfect in futility over over

314
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: the past five weeks, DJ Moore A grade. All right,

315
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: with that, let's take a break. When we come back,

316
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: take a chance on me. Nine players you'll want to

317
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: consider starting that you normally would not. Maybe you've got

318
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: a problem at the running back position because you were

319
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: counting on Isaiah Pacheco. Maybe you were a Sam Howell

320
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: owner and you need a replacement quarterback. We're here to

321
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: help you with some waiver wire level players that you

322
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: can start this week when we come back to Fantasy

323
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Football Weekly. Take a chance on me, nine players not

324
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: normally new starting lineup. We begin at the quarterback position,

325
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: Scott Fish, Who you got?

326
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 7: I am going with Jordan Love averaging nearly thirty eight

327
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 7: dropbacks per game. He's passing a lot fourth in air

328
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 7: yards and has a nine point one eight dott. He's

329
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 7: really driving the ball his butt down the field, coming

330
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 7: off four multi score games in a row, and gets

331
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 7: a Giants team that yes held down Jones and Zappi

332
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 7: last week and or two in Week twelve a New England.

333
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 7: But before that got the Giants got violated by Sam

334
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 7: Howell and Dak Presidot. Even Cooper Rush did some work

335
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 7: in relief of Dak. Those two total seven hundred and

336
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 7: eighty four yards and six scores between them. Yeah, Jordan Love,

337
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 7: I take a chance on me.

338
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: Flair all right, Brian, your take a Janson me quarterback.

339
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 6: I've got Cleveland's, Yes, Cleveland's Joe Flacco at home against

340
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 6: the Jaguars. Now the Browns are saying their game day

341
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 6: quarterback is going to be a game day decision between

342
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 6: Flacco and Dorian Thompson Brown. But it's Thompson Robinson. I'm sorry,

343
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 6: but it's going to be Joe Flacco in my mind.

344
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 6: But even if it's DTR, I would I would start

345
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 6: him against Jacksonville, who have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in

346
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 6: three of their last four games, and six of the

347
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 6: last eight quarterbacks Jacksonville has faced have thrown for at

348
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 6: least three hundred yards. Jacksonville could also be without starting

349
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 6: quarterback Tyson Campbell and free safety free safety Andre Cisco

350
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 6: of no relation to Cisco of the thong song. But

351
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 6: I love whoever starts a quarterback for the But it's

352
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 6: going to be Jill Blacklell.

353
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm going with Russell Wilson against the Chargers. Chargers ranked

354
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: dead last and pass defense as they have really all season,

355
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: and if you remove games against backup passers, opposing starting

356
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks against the Chargers averaging three hundred and thirty seven

357
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: yards and two and a half touchdown passes. It's a

358
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: great opportunity for Wilson here. The catch with Russ is

359
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: always volume. He throws the third fewest passes, just twenty

360
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: nine per game, which generally caps his upside. But the

361
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: Chargers see the fourth most passes thirty seven per game.

362
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: So if Uss is going to be closer to thirty seven,

363
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 3: he feels even that much safer here. He's thrown just

364
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: one touchdown in three straight games against solid defenses, but

365
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: he's augmented his fantasy score with rushing touchdowns at back

366
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: to back games, and he's actually top twenty rushing yards

367
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: in seven of the last eight games. So there, you know,

368
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: he's got a little bit of the old Russell Wilson

369
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: wheels going right now, which I like as well. Russell

370
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: Wilson might take a chance at me quarterback, So go

371
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: to the running back position, Scott, who you got?

372
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 7: We are going with Chase Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals.

373
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 7: Just last week, we saw the Bengals give Brown the

374
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 7: ball nine times.

375
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: Nine times.

376
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 4: Look at that nine bought it and.

377
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 7: Two of them went for huge gains. On Monday night,

378
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 7: the Colts allowed the third most running back touches, so

379
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 7: there should be enough to go around this. Colt Steel

380
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 7: allowing the fourth most fantasy points to running backs, including

381
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 7: second most rushing touchdowns. By the way the secondary running back.

382
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 7: The second running back had eighty eight yards last week,

383
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 7: and two weeks ago had eighty eight yards. So maybe

384
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 7: eighty eight yards here for Chase Brown.

385
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: We would take that for sure, Brian, you take a

386
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: chance at your running back.

387
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: I'm sticking with the Browns and I'm going with Kareem

388
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 6: Hunt again at home against the Jaguars. Jerome Ford is

389
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 6: technically the starter, but Hunt still getting significant touches, especially

390
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 6: in the red zone, where he and Ford have both

391
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 6: seen nine opportunities since week nine nine and since week

392
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 6: eight Jackson Inville has allowed the second highest explosive run

393
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: rate and the highest miss tackles per attempt. The Jaguars

394
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 6: have also yielded the most targets to running backs, so

395
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 6: it should be no surprise that they've allowed the most

396
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 6: receptions to the position. Love Ford and Hunt both this week.

397
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: I might have to move forward up our rankings a

398
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 3: little bit. I might have been a little softer on

399
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: Ford than I should.

400
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: I do it too.

401
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: That's some good of some compelling stuff. Right there. Mine

402
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: take a chance of me running back, going back to

403
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 3: the well because I hit on it last week, and

404
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: I need Damian Pierce. We need a late season revival

405
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: to make me look slightly less of a moron for

406
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: pushing the Damian Pierce narrative in the preseason.

407
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 7: Imagine he becomes a league winner. Now I like that

408
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 7: that you can crow, then you can peak.

409
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: I would feel so validated if that happened. It's it's

410
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: been a tough run for Damian Pierce, but hit last week.

411
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: We'll try it again here against the Jets. Last week,

412
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: he was the lead back for most of the game,

413
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 3: and you know, David Houston was with a lead for

414
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 3: most of the game and they ran him a lot.

415
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: He almost doubled the workload of Devin Singletary and the

416
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: Jets can't score. So I think Houston gets ahead in

417
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: this one as well. And it's not like Pierce dazzled

418
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: me with his running last week. Houston's run blocking isn't good.

419
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: They're twenty sixth then run block win rate. And really,

420
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: Pierce is a guy that could really you know, he's

421
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: more of a straight ahead guy who needs a little

422
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: bit of blocking help that he doesn't always get than still.

423
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: Jets an elite pass defense and a bad run defense,

424
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: so teams don't pass against them very much. In fact,

425
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: the Jets see the most rushes per game thirty three.

426
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: You know, if you tell me, Damian Pierce is going

427
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: to get the you know, the majority of the work,

428
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: maybe eighteen twenty of the thirty three. I don't know

429
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: how he doesn't end up with a meaningful box score here,

430
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: Damian Pierce against the Jets. Scott, who is your taking

431
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: chance on me? Receiver?

432
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going with Jayden Reed.

433
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 7: I'm stacking him with my quarterback here, Jordan Love might

434
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 7: take a chance on me quarterback. Giants will own sixth

435
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 7: most receptions seventh most receiving year. Cards Reid gets the

436
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 7: best matchup of the three with Cardell Flott in the slot.

437
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 7: It's possible Christian Wasston misses this game, which also would

438
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 7: add to possibly some extra touches for Jaden Reid. Giants

439
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 7: on the season fourth easiest matchup for wide receivers, but

440
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 7: since Week nine, they're the second easiest. Jaden Reid number

441
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 7: one or number two in targets on the team each

442
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 7: of the last five weeks.

443
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: Let's hope that. Let's hope he's healthy enough to participate fully. Yes,

444
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: game something we got yep, yeah, yep, Brian, you take

445
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: a chance from your receiver.

446
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: I got Houston's tight end Brevin Jordan at the Jets,

447
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 6: Dalton Schultz not expected to play and charts. You're one

448
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 6: hundred percent correct. Not many teams throw on the Jets.

449
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 6: When they do, it's the tight ends we're having success.

450
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 6: The Jets have allowed the second most touchdowns to the

451
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 6: tight end position too over their last three games. They've

452
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: also surrendered nearly one hundred and forty yards to the

453
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 6: position over their last two games. And with Tank Dell

454
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 6: now on ir there's targets to go around in Houston,

455
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 6: and I think CJ. Stroud is gonna be looking Brevin

456
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 6: Jordan's way a lot when he drops back on Sunday.

457
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 3: My take a chance on the receiver is also a

458
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: tight end. David and Joku, we've been man. We're all

459
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: Browns all the time here, which is a little bit weird.

460
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: Jaguars getting rocked by tight ends of late. The ranks

461
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: against tight ends in tight end yards allowed, Jacksonville ranks

462
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 3: thirty first in tight end receptions allowed. They rank thirty first.

463
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: So a lot of teams throwing to the tight end

464
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: and successfully. So here's just some recent box scores by

465
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: tight ends against Jacksonville. Last week, the Bengals anonymous tight

466
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: ends combined for six catches and fifty five yards. Two

467
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 3: weeks ago, Pat Fryarmouth nine receptions, one hundred and twenty

468
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: yards against Jacksonville Week ten, Dalton Schultz seventy one yards.

469
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 3: Week nine, Dalton Kincaid ten catches, eighty one yards. We

470
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: gave George Kittle nine catches, one hundred and forty nine.

471
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: I mean, tight ends are just getting it done against Jacksonville.

472
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: David and Joku. Next man up. Speaking of tight ends,

473
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: last segment, when I broke down the Bears, I failed

474
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: to mention Cole Kamet, So let me just do a

475
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: quick little add on for Cole Kmet in the chair

476
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: in the in the Chicago matchup. C grade for him.

477
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 3: He's he was way more productive under Tyson. Bagent is

478
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: not caught a touchdown pass since Week nine. He's gone

479
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: touchdownless in six of his last seven games. Detroit's middle

480
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: of the pack and receptions and yards allowed, but they

481
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: have allowed six tight end touchdowns. This season, which is

482
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: more than most anyway, but just three catches in the

483
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: meeting against Detroit a few weeks ago. And again Fields

484
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: doesn't go to Comet nearly as much as Bagen didn't,

485
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: and so you got to be a lot more careful

486
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: just to see grade on him.

487
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 6: You have now comet expectations for that matchup.

488
00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: All right, Indianapolis takes on Cincinnati Scott and no Jonathan

489
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: Taylor in this game. Zach Moss got bottled up significantly

490
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: by a very good Tennessee run defense last week. What

491
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: do you think about the prospects here against Cincinnati?

492
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I actually have an a grade on Zach Moss here.

493
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 7: I think it's a really really good spot for him.

494
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 7: The nice part is he took every single running back

495
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 7: carry last week with Taryl with Taylor out right back

496
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 7: to his near twenty touches he was getting back when

497
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 7: Taylor was out before. Minshew also has Moss on his

498
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 7: fantasy team, which helps you. Could you could tell by

499
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 7: that even the interception for a touch interception he threw

500
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 7: at the goal line, he was trying to get it

501
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 7: to Moss, so we know he wants to get those

502
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 7: Moss points in there running backs with over sixteen touches

503
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 7: against the Bengals, and I went to sixteen just to

504
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 7: be safe. Even though Moss's touches without j TR twenty two,

505
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: thirty two, eighteen, twenty five, twenty one, they're way over that.

506
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 4: I'm being super safe.

507
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 7: Back's with more than sixteen touches against the Bengals average

508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty five yards and mosquets all the work.

509
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 7: So I have an A grade here for Zach Moss.

510
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 7: It's finally happening for you.

511
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 4: Charge. I'm so happy for you.

512
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I love it. I'm reveling this.

513
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: Trust me over to the passing game, Gardner Minshew, I

514
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: have a B grade on Bengals have allowed multiple scores

515
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 7: in for the last five. Of course, the one that

516
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 7: didn't was Kenny Pickett because he doesn't know how to get.

517
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: Multiple score games.

518
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 7: You really do have to pick your spots with Minshew,

519
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 7: like Thor did last week, as is, take a chance

520
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 7: on me player, and he delivered with three hundred plus

521
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 7: and two scores. I think this is another one. Nine

522
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 7: of the twelve scoring starting quarterbacks against the Colts had

523
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 7: three hundred plus and or a score. It's a decent spot.

524
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 7: B grade on Gardner Minshew. I do have an A

525
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 7: grade on Michael Pittman, who's seen about one hundred targets

526
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 7: per game with Minshew, I believe.

527
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: That that is accurate.

528
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 7: The Bengals are allowing highest A dot to lead in

529
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 7: the league to wide receivers, which is really good for

530
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 7: Pittman here twelve plus targets in three straight, eight plus

531
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 7: catches in five straight, one hundred plus yards and back

532
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 7: to back Biggels are middle of the pack, but he

533
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 7: gets the best matchup in Shoudobi a Woozier allowing a

534
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 7: one to twelve passer rating against. I do have Josh

535
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 7: Downs and now Pierce on the bench. I know Eli

536
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 7: Pierce had caught all three of his targets for one

537
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 7: hundred yards last week. He was targeting the end zone twice.

538
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 7: I don't know that it's sustainable. And Josh Downs, he

539
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 7: really shows up in great slot matchups. This is the

540
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 7: middle of the pack one I have him on the bench.

541
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 7: It wouldn't surprise me for one of them to hit.

542
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 7: But I have him on the bench. I don't think

543
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 7: you can trust him here. C grade on Kylin grantson

544
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 7: I'll touch on Granson real quick here two to four

545
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 7: catches in every game before his injury. Came back, had

546
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 7: three for seventy two last week. Since he is the

547
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 7: second best matchup for tight ends. Even Evan Ingram scored

548
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 7: last week against Cincinnati TV.

549
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: That was my take a chance on me receiver last week.

550
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 7: I am yeah, yeah, nine for Let me see if

551
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 7: I can find a peacock real quick.

552
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: It's near the top.

553
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: It's near the top. Thank you.

554
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 6: By Are you going to be able to work in

555
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 6: a dig on Kyle Pitts in this breakdown or no?

556
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: I've been this chair. I feely like diggy Dodd Pitts.

557
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: It's weird how that happens.

558
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 7: Friarmouth had nine for one to twenty the week before, Kincaid,

559
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 7: Kittle and Schultz at seventy plus. That's just in the

560
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 7: last six weeks, ten different tight ends have gone for

561
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 7: seventy plus and or a score on this Bengals team.

562
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 7: I have a C grade on Grands and I think

563
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 7: he's a good dart throw there.

564
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: Well se grade.

565
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 7: Anyway, over to the Cincinnati side, Jake Browning I do

566
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 7: have on the bench. I know he threw a lot

567
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 7: of short passes last week. But this is the middle

568
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 7: pack on the season. Defense the Colts are, but since

569
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 7: Week five, only one quarterback has had over two hundred

570
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 7: and twenty five yards and only three multi score games

571
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 7: on the season. Bengals are fourth best against quarterbacks over

572
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 7: their last five or sorry, the Colts are fourth best

573
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 7: against quarterbacks over the last five.

574
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: I have Browning on the bench.

575
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 7: I'm still giving an A grade to Jamar Chase though,

576
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 7: over fifty percent target chair last week, over forty percent

577
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 7: with brown in the lineup. Also a thirty three percent

578
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 7: end zone target share with Browning in the lineup. It's

579
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 7: just he's just doing too good. He's gonna get Jalen

580
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 7: Jones ninety five point eight passer rating against. But I'm

581
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 7: still giving it an A grade here. I have the

582
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 7: other wide receivers on the bench, though, Tyler Bord Tyler

583
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 7: Boyd last week was a great slot matchup for him.

584
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 7: Not so much this week. T Higgins was barely targeted.

585
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 7: His game is deeper and the Colts that's what they

586
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 7: what they defend the best is deeper and Browning it

587
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 7: seems like he's throwing short a lot, so it's really

588
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 7: not meant for t Higgins game, so I have him

589
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 7: on the bench as well. Tanner Hudson's a little bit

590
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 7: of a dart throw. Four plus catches in five straight

591
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 7: but thirty to forty five yards in all of them.

592
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 7: Feels like a safe seven points. But he doesn't score.

593
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 7: It doesn't have a red zone target, doesn't have an

594
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 7: end zone target, and Colts have only allowed one tight

595
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 7: end touchdown on the year. So pure dart throw, but

596
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 7: I have him on the bench. A grade on Joe

597
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 7: Mixon kind of what I say about Chase Brown. Colts

598
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: are fourth worst against running backs. They allow a ton

599
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 7: of running back touches. There should be enough for both

600
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 7: of them. But all that stuff I said in the

601
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 7: last segment still stands for Joe mix and I have

602
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 7: an A grade here. Hopefully there's enough for Chase Brown.

603
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 7: Might take a chance on meat player.

604
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's head to a break and when

605
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: we come back, Jacksonville taking on Cleveland. We've already talked

606
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: about a lot of Brown's maybe the Jacksonville side, unknown

607
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: quarterback situation at this time, Who do you dare trust

608
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: out of Jacksonville? No, Christian Kirk. A lot of things

609
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: up in the air on the Jaguars side. Stay tuned

610
00:30:34,880 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: to Fantasy Football Weekly to find out Welcome back Fantasy

611
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: Football Weekly. Another big block of matchups for you, beginning

612
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: with Jacksonville taking on Cleveland. Brian, we talked a lot

613
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: about Cleveland already, but let's go to the Jacksonville side.

614
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: No Christian Kirk and we're not sure who the quarterback

615
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: is going to be in this one. What do you think?

616
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you would assume that Trevor Lawrence would

617
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 6: have been ruled out by now, but he's shaping up

618
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: to be a game time decision. He might go with

619
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 6: that ankle injury. But it's a brutal matchup, the Browns

620
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 6: allowing just one hundred and seventy three passing yards and

621
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 6: one passing touchdown per game. They're also going to get

622
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 6: back stud cornerback Denzel Ward, who has missed the last

623
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 6: two games. So you just gotta prepare for Lawrence to

624
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 6: be on your bench, and even if he starts, I

625
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 6: got him on the bench. I think you should roll

626
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 6: with one of our take on quarterbacks over him this

627
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 6: week in a bad matchup. And there's gonna be some

628
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 6: weather in this game too. It's not a total stopper

629
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 6: by any means. It's going to be wet in Cleveland

630
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 6: most likely, so I'm playing it safe with Lawrence. He's

631
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 6: on the bench. The only other player in the passing

632
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: game I'm giving a starting grade to is Calvin Ridley.

633
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 6: He gets a CE. Since Week eight, Cleveland has allowed

634
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 6: the fourth lowess PPR points per target to boundary wide receivers.

635
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 6: That's not good. And again denzil Ward expected back, So

636
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 6: temporary expectations for Ridley. I can't fault you if you

637
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 6: bench it for someone else, but I will give him

638
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 6: a C grade. But again, everyone else on the bench,

639
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: including Evan Ingram. The Browns have allowed only three receiving

640
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 6: two receiving touchdowns to tight ends all season, and two

641
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 6: of those came from Mark Andrews back in Week four,

642
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 6: opposing tight ends or averaging just two catches in twenty

643
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 6: two yards per game against Cleveland, So Ingram on the

644
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 6: bench even in the tight end wasteland. And lastly for

645
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 6: the Jaguars, Travis Etn just to see for him. Etn

646
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 6: has not hit eighty rushing yards since Week five, and

647
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 6: in fact, he's only breached that mark on the ground

648
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 6: twice this season. Etn definitely slumpling, slumping, excuse me slumping,

649
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 6: and this isn't exactly a get right game opposing backs

650
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 6: or averaging one hundred eleven combo yards per game against Cleveland,

651
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 6: who has surrendered only eight total touchdowns to the position

652
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 6: all season. Over at the Cleveland side, we already said

653
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 6: out Joe Flacco, as might take a chance on me,

654
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 6: quarterback David and Joku is your take a chance on me?

655
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: Receiver?

656
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: Over to the wide receivers for the Browns, I got

657
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 6: a B for Elijah Moore and a CE on Amari Cooper.

658
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: Cooper looks like he's trending towards playing. He practiced on Friday.

659
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 6: He's been in concussion protocol and nursing a rib injury

660
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 6: that he's been playing through, so it's really all about

661
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: the concussion. But it looks like Cooper will be cleared.

662
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 6: So A see for Cooper and I get a be

663
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 6: on More. Saw twelve targets last week with Joe Flacco

664
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 6: under center. That will likely be the case again this week,

665
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 6: meaning Flacco will be under sender and the Jaguars have

666
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 6: surrendered the third most wide receiver touchdowns this season and

667
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 6: at least one wide receiver touchdown in every game they

668
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 6: have played. And lastly to the running game for the Browns.

669
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 6: I got to be on Jerome Ford again, a great

670
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 6: matchup for both he and Kareem Hunt, whos might take

671
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 6: a chance and be running back. Since week eight, Jacksonville

672
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 6: has allowed the second highest explosive run rate and the

673
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 6: highest miss tackles per attempt, and they've also allowed the

674
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 6: most catches to the running back position.

675
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all that all trends very very well. And

676
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: tip of the hat to Thor last week for nailing

677
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 3: Elijah Moore as well. Nicely done in abstentia. We will

678
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: give him. Can we peacock him in an abstentia? Is

679
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: that possible? I would do that. There we go, Rams

680
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Brian, you love this a

681
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: great and Kyrone Williams.

682
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

683
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: The workload is just huge at this point. Last week

684
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: he played ninety four percent of the snaps and got

685
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: twenty six opportunities. Since week two, when he became the

686
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: starter over Acres, Kyron has seen twenty two opportunities per

687
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: game and he's averaging one hundred and sixteen total yards

688
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: per game. The one area where the Ravens defense is

689
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 3: vulnerable is against the run. They're just a middle of

690
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: the pack run defense. They ranked twelfth and sixteenth in

691
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: rushing and receiving yards allowed to runners, respectively. Are going

692
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: to pull an up set here. It's almost certainly going

693
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: to go through Kyron Williams with an A grade, and

694
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: we're a lot more skeptical about the passing game in

695
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 3: this one, a lot more. Let's start with Stafford. Brutal

696
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: matchup for him. The Ravens ranked second in pass coverage

697
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 3: by Pro Football Focus. They've only given up multiple passing

698
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: touchdowns two times all year. Baltimore has more interceptions than

699
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: touchdown passes allowed. In his five road games so far,

700
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 3: Stafford has seven touchdown passes, and other than his four

701
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: touchdown blow up a week or two ago, Stafford's really

702
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: been really like a one touchdown guy, and that's probably

703
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: where we're sitting here. Puka Nakula comes in with a

704
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 3: C grade, coming off a great game last week. Baltimore

705
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: plays overwhelmingly man coverage, and since Cooper Cup's return in

706
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 3: Week five, Nicoua has led rams wide receivers and receptions

707
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: against man and has been far more effective than Cup

708
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 3: as well. In man coverage. The Ravens get back cornerback

709
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: Marlon Humphrey from injury working against Nakua. He's very good

710
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: no receiver. His top two catches or nine yards against

711
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 3: Marlon Humphrey since way back in Week five. So a

712
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: very tough matchup for Nikua. But I'm still giving him

713
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: a C grade in this one. And I'm benching Cooper Cup. No,

714
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 3: he hasn't top fifty yards fifty Cooper Cup fifty yards

715
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: in six straight games. He's playing on two hobbled ankles.

716
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: Safety Kyle Hamilton man's the slot often and he's just

717
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: a menace. Over the past five weeks, he's allowing two

718
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: receptions for twelve yards per game on a passer rating

719
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 3: of fifty eight. And that's it. So I just I

720
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: can't advocate starting Cooper Cup here at a game you need.

721
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: And then Tyler Higbee doubtful, not expected to play in

722
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: this game, so don't use him. Let's go to the

723
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: Baltimore side. I think I'll start with I think I'll

724
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 3: start with the running game here. How about Gus Edwards

725
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 3: snapshare decreasing in three straight games, bottoming out at only

726
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: twenty seven percent rushing share in their last game before

727
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 3: last week's by the Rams will allow the seventh fewest

728
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: total yards to opposing running backs, and more troubling edwards

729
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 3: has become totally touchdown dependent, and the Rams only give

730
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: up half a touchdown to the position per game. That's

731
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 3: eighth best. So all you can do is hope for

732
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 3: a touchdown. I can only give you a C grade,

733
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: and it's on the hope for like two yard touchdown plunge.

734
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 5: That's it.

735
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 3: How about Keith Mitchell, so his snapcher increasing in four

736
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: straight weeks, his gusses is going down topping out at

737
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: forty six percent snap share in the last game before

738
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: the buy tough matchup, though, In addition to not allowing

739
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: rushing yards to touchdowns, the Rams allow a league low

740
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 3: twenty receiving yards per game to opposing running backs. That

741
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: impacts Mitchell for sure. He's a receiving back and he's

742
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 3: had a lot of his success through the air. It's

743
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: not likely to happen here. Since LA's Week ten by

744
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: no back his top forty eight rushing yards, thirty or

745
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: thirty three receiving yards or scored against the Rams. So

746
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: this is a very tough spot Spot just got a

747
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: C grade on Keaton Mitchell. Let's go to the passing game.

748
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with Isaiah Likely. The Rams are terrible

749
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: against the tight end, give up the six month yards

750
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: and the second most scores to the position, So there's

751
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: a good chance that Lamar's best path to air production

752
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: is through Isaiah Likely. And the one full game likely

753
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 3: is played without Mark Andrews. He led the Ravens and targets,

754
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 3: receptions and receiving yards. So I like Isaiah Likely here

755
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: and he comes in with a solid B grade and

756
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: he's in my top five at the position this week

757
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: as well. Zay Flowers. Great to see him in the

758
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: end zone last week. It's kind a sight we haven't

759
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: seen very often. I'm less optimistic about it here. He

760
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: runs from all parts of the field and he's got

761
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: neutral matchups in all three of those spots against all

762
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: three of the Rams cornerbacks. Importantly, Flowers saw eight targets

763
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: with Mark Andrews missing last week. That's his first time

764
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 3: reaching that mark since Week eight. He's the only receiver

765
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: with enough volume to warrant starting consideration among the Ravens.

766
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: He comes in with a C grade and that just

767
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: leaves us with Lamar Jackson. Over the past five weeks,

768
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's Fantasy points, he ranks as quarterback eighteen, with

769
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: just four total touchdowns, none of them on the ground,

770
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 3: which are usually worth more than the passing touchdowns. That

771
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: doesn't always mean that Lamar Jackson is playing badly, but

772
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: his fifty rushing yards per game is just not enough

773
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: to sustain you when he's only averaging two hundred and

774
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: sixteen passing yards and one passing touchdown per game. That

775
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: is a Gardner Minshew level of passing, and the Rams

776
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: are a pretty good pass defense. They've held nine of

777
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: twelve opponents to zero or one passing touchdown and only

778
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks of top three hundred yards all year. LA

779
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 3: is vulnerable on the ground. All four mobile quarterbacks to

780
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 3: face LA have scored her top forty seven rushing yards.

781
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: So I think you're gonna get another good ground game

782
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 3: from Jackson, But like it's been a lot lately, I

783
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 3: don't think he's going to chip in much through the air.

784
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 3: We've got a B grade on Lamar Jackson. Okay, all right,

785
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: let's move over to Tampa Bay taking on Atlanta. Scott

786
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. I think you quietly playing pretty good football,

787
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,479
Speaker 3: but a lot of tough matchups and it doesn't always

788
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: materialize to a lot of fantasy points.

789
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 7: Yeah here, and this would normally be a tough matchup here,

790
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 7: I have a C grade on him. I'm willing to

791
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 7: move to a bench. But right now the Falcons could

792
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 7: be without cornerbacks AJ Terrell who's in concussion protocol, Jeff

793
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 7: Alcuda with an undisclosed injury, and Mike Cues with an

794
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 7: hand injury, So if their entire defensive backfield.

795
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: Is out, I feel a little bit better about a

796
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: C grade here.

797
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 7: The Falcons haven't a lot of passing touchdown for three weeks. Okay,

798
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 7: so they faced Kyler in his first game and Derek

799
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 7: Carr and Tim Boyle, but before that they gave up

800
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 7: multiple scores in three of four, so it's possible he

801
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 7: has an OKDA. We need to watch that defensive backfield, though.

802
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 7: A grade on Mike Evans. Evans had six for eighty

803
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 7: two and a score received on eight targets in Week

804
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 7: seven against these Falcons, and Aj Terrell was shadowing him

805
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 7: that game, so if he's gone, expect better. Thirty three

806
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 7: percent target share from Mike Evans over the last month,

807
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 7: and we've talked about his end zone targets. He just

808
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 7: always scores. It feels like Mike Evans does C grade

809
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 7: on Chris Godwin. I don't love it, but held catchless

810
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 7: last week, but he did score on a nineteen yard

811
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 7: rushing touchdown. The matchup against a completely beat up secondary

812
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 7: is nice. But if all those players or most of

813
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 7: those some of those players go, maybe bench Chris Godwin,

814
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 7: but I have a C grade on him for now

815
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 7: with the matchup. Kate Aughten runs a ton of the routes,

816
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 7: but goosag last week. He disappears at times too hard

817
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 7: to trust bench for cad Aughten. B grade on Rashad

818
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 7: White over the last five why is averaging over twenty touches,

819
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 7: four of those being catches. He scored five times in

820
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 7: the last five games. No other Tampa Bay back has

821
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 7: had more than five touches in a game since Week six.

822
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 7: Falcons are really good against fantasy running backs, but mostly

823
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 7: it's because the scores. They've only allowed three total scores

824
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 7: and all three were receiving no rushing scores. White total

825
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 7: had ninety nine total yards in their first meeting on

826
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 7: nineteen touches, nineteen plus touches against guys against the Falcons

827
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 7: averaged ninety yards. They averaged ninety one yards. Actually, so

828
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 7: ninety plus yards four plus catches. I can see a

829
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 7: B grade here if he gets in the end zone.

830
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 7: Even better over to the Atlanta side I have ridden

831
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 7: on the bench. Good quarterbacks do well against Tampa. Bad

832
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 7: ones do bad. Ridder did two hundred and eighty nine

833
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 7: scoreless yards last time I have him on the bench. Sorry,

834
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 7: Drake Lennon, I'm giving a C grade too. It's really tough,

835
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 7: but five receivers have been over fifty yards against the

836
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 7: Bucks in the last three weeks. He's been sea level,

837
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 7: Drake Lennon. That is, has been sea level or worse

838
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 7: in almost every single Gay game. But it's the sixth

839
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 7: easiest matchup for wide receivers. Twenty three different wide receivers

840
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 7: have top fifty yards this season in twelve games. The

841
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 7: only other starting grade I have here is B. John Robinson.

842
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 7: Bucks have been top ten against running backs this year,

843
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 7: but have been bottom ten over the last three weeks,

844
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 7: allowing McCaffrey, JT and Chupa Hubbard to blow up on them.

845
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 7: High touch running backs have done really well against them.

846
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 4: B Grade.

847
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 7: There, I have Kyle Pitts on the bench. I have

848
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 7: Tyler Lger and Cordell Patterson, who are splitting now because

849
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 7: that's split, I have them on the bench as well.

850
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: That all makes sense, Scott, I think I see it

851
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 3: the same way. Fortunately, we're going to break, so we

852
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 3: won't get a Kyle Pit's rebuttal from Brian.

853
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 6: Now I'm biting my tongue.

854
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 4: No, when we come back long enough on purpose.

855
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: That's right. Three tough questions. See if you can go

856
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 3: three and oh with our panel of experts as we

857
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: dive into three of the most salient, difficult decisions that

858
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: we've all got to face coming down the stretch as

859
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: we head into the fantasy playoffs. Stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly,

860
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Jarchie and Scott

861
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: Fish and Brian Johnson with you. This is a game

862
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 3: we call three tough questions.

863
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 5: We begin with this tough question number one.

864
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 3: What is the appropriate level of concern for Patrick Mahomes?

865
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 3: Is it none? Is it some? Or is it a

866
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 3: bowel loosening level of existential dread? We begin with Scott Fish.

867
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 7: I think at this point, we got to go with some.

868
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 7: I don't think it's blowed. I think we've seen enough

869
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 7: of Mahomes over his career, not this you know, twelve

870
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 7: game sample size, that he's a pretty dang good quarterback.

871
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 7: But all season we keep thinking, oh, it's gonna be

872
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 7: scary once this offense gets things going, like the days

873
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 7: of all but it just keeps not happening. Maybe Airic

874
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 7: b Enemy leaving was a piece that hurt that more

875
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 7: than we thought. Concern exists, but I don't think we

876
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 7: should be like completely panicking on this.

877
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: All right, Brian, what's the appropriate level of concern for

878
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes? Is it none? Is it some? Or is

879
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 3: it a bowel loosening level of existential dread?

880
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 5: Yeah?

881
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 6: I gotta agree with Scott that it's some because Mahomes

882
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 6: is just not a set it and forget it guy,

883
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 6: especially if you're still alive in a guillotine league. He's

884
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 6: almost like a depth player right now. I don't think

885
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 6: you can bench him this week against Buffalo, but looking

886
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 6: next week at New England, I don't know you might

887
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 6: have a better option than Patrick Mahomes. I like his

888
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 6: matchup in Week sixteen at home against Vegas a lot better.

889
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 6: But again, I mean he's almost a matchup dependent player

890
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 6: at this point. Not totally, but it's definitely some level

891
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 6: of concern for Mahomes.

892
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 3: For me, the correct answer is a bowel loosening level

893
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 3: of existential.

894
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, okay, it is.

895
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: Get this over the life last five weeks, Patrick Mahomes

896
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: is quarterback twenty one. That means almost certainly over the

897
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 3: last five weeks. To this is to Brian's point, over

898
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: the last five weeks, you probably would have been better

899
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 3: off starting whoever your other quarterback is than Patrick Mahomes.

900
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: Why where's the problem. The problem is the signature big plays.

901
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: When we think in the Mahomes era of long bomb passes,

902
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 3: the first guy you think of is Patrick Mahomes. He's

903
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: been so good there, but not this year. Get a

904
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 3: load of this. Mahomes quarterback thirty three in average depth

905
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,959
Speaker 3: of target at seven point three yards, thirty third. He's

906
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: twentieth in deep ball completions. He's thirty second in deep

907
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: ball completion percentage. He's thirty sixth, dead last among qualified

908
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in deep ball passer rating. Patrick Mahomes has one

909
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: touchdown this year of more than twenty yards. That's it,

910
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 3: and so much of what is gigantic explosive box scores

911
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: have come because of the forty to fifty sixty seventy

912
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 3: yard passes. Those have totally dried up. Can you snap

913
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 3: your fingers and suddenly get better at deep passing?

914
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 4: Not with his receiving core exactly.

915
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: I mean, Rashi Rice is the most promising receiver on

916
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 3: the depth chart, but he's not like bombs away deep

917
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: downfield guy. So I don't see this thing changing. And

918
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: we've got some stoppers on the on the schedule compared

919
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: to where we normally have Patrick Mahomes. Your level of

920
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 3: concern is a bowel loosening level of existential crept.

921
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 7: By the way, Rashi Rice is at four point seventy

922
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 7: five yards, He is not talking way way downfield.

923
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 3: Quite the opposite.

924
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 5: Yes, tough question number three.

925
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 4: Oops, let's try too.

926
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 5: Tough question number two.

927
00:47:59,080 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 6: Yeah you thought it.

928
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was easy.

929
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 4: It's not easy this chair.

930
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 3: No, we're going backwards and it's doing your own matchup.

931
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

932
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 3: I bet rest of season, Justin Jefferson will be a

933
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: wide receiver one, a wide receiver two, flex or bench player.

934
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 3: We begin with Brian for this one.

935
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 6: According to Fantasy Pros, the Vikings wide receivers have the

936
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 6: fourth hardest remaining strength of schedule. But looking at their schedule,

937
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 6: it's at Las Vegas, as you know, charge at Cincinnati

938
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 6: versus Detroit, then versus Green Bay. I don't see that

939
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 6: as the fourth artist. Yeah, I disagree.

940
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 3: There another site, another site I like rodal Wire has

941
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: the fourth easiest.

942
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 6: All right, So there's some major discrepancy here. But the

943
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 6: major concern is it's the quarterback position for the Vikings

944
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 6: that they're sticking with Joshua Dobbs right now, which I

945
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 6: think is the right call. But whoever is starting a

946
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 6: quarterback is an obvious downgrade from Kirk Cousins. We don't

947
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 6: know if Jefferson's at one hundred percent, but he's probably

948
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 6: pretty darn close. But you got to play a little

949
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 6: safe and go with just wide receiver two. It's not

950
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 6: about Jefferson, it's about his quarterback for me.

951
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 3: Okay Scott, rest of season, justin Jefferson. Will he be

952
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 3: a wide receiver one, wide receiver two, flex or bench?

953
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 4: Yeah?

954
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 7: I think he goes right back to wide receiver one,

955
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 7: And I feel like the bar isn't isn't as high

956
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 7: as maybe he's not Justin Jefferson wide receiver one overall

957
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 7: or two overall like Dyrek Gel, But I feel like

958
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 7: he's going to get the target volume that Kevin O'Connell

959
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 7: is going to scheme plays specifically to make him work

960
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 7: with Josh Dobbs. I think finding his way to a

961
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 7: top twelve wide receiver for the rest of the season

962
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 7: is not going to be that difficult.

963
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 3: Schedule is very favorable. I think no stoppers left. Cincinnati

964
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 3: and Detroit in particular, very positive matchups for Justin Jefferson.

965
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's offense is designed to go through Jefferson, and

966
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 3: Lord knows, the running game is not going to displace

967
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson from this offense. And remember Minnesota ranks third

968
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: in pass attempts, fourth and passing play percentage. This is

969
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 3: a pass first offense and he's the best receiver on

970
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 3: the team. Kevin O'Connell's going to go down swinging with

971
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 3: his best weapons, Justin Jefferson and TJ. Hockinson this season.

972
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 3: The quarterback situation obviously not ideal, and that takes him

973
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: out of the ranks of like Ceedee Lamb aj Brown,

974
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill, and other clear like elite wide receiver ones.

975
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 3: But he's really in the next tier of guys, which

976
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 3: still puts him into wide receiver one territory where he

977
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 3: might come in as like the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleven, twelfth,

978
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: best wide receiver on the season. That's still wide receiver

979
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 3: one territory. Oh, Scott, let's go to tough question number three.

980
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 3: There we go, all right, Tank Dell is out for

981
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 3: the year for rest of the season, Nicocollins, Is he

982
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 3: a wide receiver one, wide receiver two, flex or bench?

983
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 5: Yeah?

984
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 7: I still have him also a wide receiver one. He

985
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 7: was really really hyper targeted, even going up against Patzertayne

986
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 7: last week after Tank Dell went down. Noel Brown obviously

987
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 7: not one hundred percent healthy yet, but he should should go.

988
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 7: Tough matchup this week though, tough matchup facing Sauce Gardner

989
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 7: and DJ Reid on the outsides this week, but most

990
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 7: of the games going forward he's going to be a

991
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 7: wide receiver one. I'm not even opposed to saying he

992
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 7: could get there this week with how much he got targeted.

993
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 7: Outside of that, his one game without Dell was four

994
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 7: for eighty yards. And he did that up against Marshawn Lattimore.

995
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 7: It really would have been nice to see some games

996
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 7: with all of these guys healthy, to be honest, that

997
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 7: would have been great. But I still have him as

998
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 7: a low end wide receiver one going.

999
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 3: Forward, Okay, Brian. With Tank Dell out for the year,

1000
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 3: Nico Collins rest of season? Is he a wide receiver,

1001
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 3: one wide receiver, two flex or bench?

1002
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 6: So this season, before Dell went down, on snaps that

1003
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 6: Collins played when Dell wasn't on the field for whatever reason,

1004
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 6: Collins target share climbed from twenty percent to thirty one

1005
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 6: percent and his air yard share went from twenty five

1006
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 6: percent to forty one percent. So when Dell wasn't on

1007
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 6: the field, Collins was CJ. Stroud's favorite target and that's

1008
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 6: going to be the case for the remainder of the season.

1009
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 6: I got to disagree with Scott a little bit in

1010
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 6: that we're an agreement that it's a bad matchup against

1011
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 6: the Jets this week. We're going to break that down momentarily,

1012
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 6: so I would give him a C. But then tennessee

1013
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 6: a good matchup, but then they have Cleveland in Week sixteen.

1014
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 6: That feels like another seed to me and then Tennessee again,

1015
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 6: and the Tennessee matchups are kind of an A so

1016
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 6: ca CAA that averages out to a B to me.

1017
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 6: So I'm at wide receiver, wide receiver two cock cock.

1018
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: Cocky, don't talk about one of our favorite receivers that way, right.

1019
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 3: Nico is fourth in yards after catch, and that helps

1020
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 3: him turn low volume games into high yardage games because

1021
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: even if he doesn't get the ball a lot, because

1022
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 3: he can do so well after the catch, he can

1023
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 3: have big he can have big output. And even with

1024
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 3: the monus uptick and targets like let's say two per game,

1025
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 3: if he gets two extra targets per game with Dell out,

1026
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 3: that would be huge for Collins. Listen to this differential.

1027
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: For Collins' average games where he gets six or fewer

1028
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: targets very mundane forty seven yards point two touchdowns per game.

1029
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 3: But when he gets seven or more targets, Nico Collins

1030
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 3: explodes up to one hundred and twenty five yards and

1031
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 3: almost a full touchdown per game. So he's like double

1032
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: or triple the efficacy when he gets seven or more targets.

1033
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 3: And I think without Dell he's likely to get those

1034
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 3: seven targets and virtually every game down the stretch. And

1035
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: if you're wondering how good one hundred and twenty five

1036
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: yards and point eight touchdowns is, that's almost exactly what

1037
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 3: Tyrik kill is giving his fantasy owners right now. So

1038
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: you're getting the best wide receiver in football in those

1039
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 3: games or gets seven one targets. Now, it's not always

1040
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 3: as simple as saying, well, because Tank Dell's gone, that

1041
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 3: means he's gonna get more targets, but he probably will.

1042
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 3: He'll also get better coverage with Tank Dell out because

1043
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: defenses don't have to account for Tank Dell. And Robert

1044
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 3: Woods is not as good or Noah Brown is not

1045
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 3: as good. Still, I love the post prospects of him

1046
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,479
Speaker 3: being a high volume player, and I think you could

1047
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 3: do well here. The matchups do concern me, and I

1048
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 3: think Brian really hit on a key thing. Jets and

1049
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 3: Cleveland could be major bombers for you know, any wide receiver.

1050
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 3: And because of that, you know, that's that's half of

1051
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: the remaining schedule, Jets Cleveland, So I can only get

1052
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: to wide receiver two. If it were if it were

1053
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 3: pretty much any other defenses you were facing. I think

1054
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 3: he'd be wide receiver one for sure.

1055
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 7: It's not good to know who has faith in Nico

1056
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 7: Collins and who doesn't, who truly believes.

1057
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 3: I am Yeah, long time listeners.

1058
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 6: No, right, yes, we're starting them either way.

1059
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 3: Let's go to Houston taking on the Jets. It's a

1060
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 3: perfect segue. Brian, you mentioned already you've got a C

1061
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 3: grade on Nico Collins. You want to that at all?

1062
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, not a great matchup, but I will mention quickly.

1063
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 6: Torrential downpour expected in New Jersey on Sunday. That's not

1064
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 6: a stopper by any means, but rain does factor into

1065
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 6: the passing game. So just to see on Collins, but

1066
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 6: it's more about the matchup. Awful matchup. Jets allowing the

1067
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 6: second fewest catches per game to wide receivers just nine

1068
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 6: point five as a whole, and the fewest yards and

1069
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 6: touchdowns per game. New York has allowed three wide receiver

1070
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 6: touchdowns all season three.

1071
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 5: That's it.

1072
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 6: So see for Collins, Noah Brown, John metchiw Robert Woods,

1073
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 6: they're all on the bench. But I like the matchup

1074
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 6: for Brevin Jordan at tight end. He was might take

1075
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 6: a chance on me receiver, So a C grade for

1076
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 6: Jordan and CJ. Stroud. I was close to putting him

1077
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 6: on the bench, but I just couldn't do it. But

1078
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 6: just to see for him. The Jets are allowing one

1079
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 6: hundred and ninety two passing yards and one point two

1080
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 6: passing touchdowns per game. That is not good at all.

1081
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 6: But Stroud has been excellent this season. I think he

1082
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 6: can find his way to at least two touchdown passes hopefully,

1083
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 6: so a C grade for him. Charge Damian Pierce was

1084
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 6: take a chance on me running back. I like him

1085
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 6: more than Devin Singletary. As you mentioned in the take

1086
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 6: on segment, is a great matchup for the running backs

1087
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 6: on paper, but Pierce trending towards the lead back so

1088
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 6: he gets the stronger see between the backs for Houston.

1089
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 5: Over to the.

1090
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 6: Jets side, I got a few c's here, starting with

1091
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 6: Breece Hall dealing with an ankle injury but is expected

1092
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 6: to play. Not a great match up here though for

1093
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 6: Breece A posting backs or averaging one hundred and eleven

1094
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 6: combo yards per game against Houston not great, not awful,

1095
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 6: but no loan back has topped ninety rushing yards against

1096
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 6: the Texans this season. And the Texans haven't surrendered a

1097
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 6: running back touchdown since Week ten. So just to see

1098
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 6: for Breese Hall, also a see for Garrett Wilson. The

1099
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 6: Texans are allowing more than one hundred and sixty yards

1100
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 6: per game to wide receivers, and Garrett Wilson's target share

1101
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 6: is pushing thirty percent, which is a lot. So you

1102
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 6: got to like that volume. Even though we've hated the

1103
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 6: quarterbacks for the Jets all year since Aaron Rodgers went

1104
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 6: down so real quickly. Zach Wilson is on the bench obviously,

1105
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 6: but Tyler Conklin is not. Even with Wilson under center.

1106
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 6: I mean, Wilson is an upgrade over Tim Boyle. I

1107
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 6: guess you you can give him back, but yeah, I

1108
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 6: gotta see on Conklin. The Texans are allowing more than

1109
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 6: six and a half catches and sixty receiving yards per

1110
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 6: game to tight ends, and Houston is one of two

1111
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 6: teams to yield more than one hundred targets to tight

1112
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 6: ends so far this season. So I like Conklin here

1113
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 6: in the wasteland with a sea.

1114
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back Minnesota taking on Las Vegas,

1115
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 3: we'll give you details on what to expect from Justin

1116
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: Jefferson in his first game in nine weeks. Nine weeks, Oh,

1117
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 3: it's been way too long. Do you automatically put Justin

1118
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 3: Jefferson back in your lineup? Find out when we come

1119
00:57:44,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 3: back to Fantasy Football Week. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly

1120
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 3: Vikings take on the Raiders Justin Jefferson back prior to

1121
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: his injury. You may have forgotten just how good Justin

1122
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 3: Jefferson was average game prior to injury eight catches, one

1123
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six yards per game. Not going to

1124
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: do that with Josh Dobbs, but still a very good

1125
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 3: opportunity here. Over the last five weeks, Las Vegas has

1126
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: allowed the fifth most receptions per game to opposing wide receivers.

1127
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 3: They've shaken up their secondary. They're now starting former New

1128
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 3: England cornerback Jack Jones, who was waived outright and they

1129
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 3: cut Marcus Peters. This will be the first game with Jones,

1130
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 3: who was just awful with the Patriots. So there's a

1131
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 3: great opportunity for Jefferson here. Now opposite Jones is Amik Robertson.

1132
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 3: They might have him shadow Jefferson, which would make a

1133
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 3: ton of sense. And even still I mean, Robinson's good,

1134
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 3: but he's not great, and that's a nice opportunity for

1135
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson. A grade on him. A grade on TJ.

1136
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 3: Hockinson as well. You know, a reminder, even when Justin

1137
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 3: Jefferson was going, Hockinson getting tons of looks and that's

1138
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 3: continued NonStop, and Josh Dubb Dobbs loves his tight ends.

1139
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 3: Hockinson needed last week's by to get rest at rib

1140
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 3: injury that was really laboring on him. Las Vegas middle

1141
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 3: of the pack and all the stats against tight ends

1142
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. Hockinson A grade for this one, not to

1143
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 3: mention it. Josh passing game Jordan Addison. Jefferson siphons off

1144
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 3: a lot of balls, but he also draws a lot

1145
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 3: of coverage, so Addison's going to likely see fewer passes,

1146
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 3: but hopefully better opportunities and maybe one won't clank off

1147
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 3: his face mask like last game. If the Raiders do

1148
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 3: decide to put a Meet Robertson on Jefferson, that would

1149
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 3: put Jack Jones on Addison and that's a great matchup.

1150
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 3: So there's an opportunity here. Jones allowing an eighty percent

1151
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 3: catch rate. High risk hy rewards start C grade. Jordan Addison,

1152
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: and let's talk Josh Dobbs. This is an ultra high risk,

1153
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 3: high rewards spot for Josh Dobbs. He could be benched

1154
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: if he continues to turn the ball over. That would

1155
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 3: be your downside scenarios you don't get a full game

1156
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 3: from him. Or he could be electric. With Justin Jefferson back,

1157
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: he could run in a score. You know, mostly the

1158
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 3: Raider secondary has handled middling passers like Dobbs, but with

1159
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 3: his rushing and the plethora of strong targets here, I

1160
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 3: think he's a plausible starter for those with the appetite.

1161
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 3: I give him a C grade. Can't give you a

1162
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 3: letter grade on this running game again. Alexander Madison on

1163
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 3: the bench since Week five. He's top fifty two rushing

1164
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: yards one time, and he came against the Broncos and

1165
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 3: they give up the most rushing yards in the league.

1166
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 3: Madison has seen ten or fewer carries in four of

1167
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 3: the last eight games unshackled from Josh McDaniels. The Raiders

1168
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 3: are much better run defense. They're giving up just seventy

1169
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 3: six rushing yards per game and three point eight yards

1170
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 3: per carry over the past five weeks without Josh McDaniels,

1171
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 3: So bench grade on Alexander Madison in this one. Let's

1172
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 3: go to the Las Vegas side. You really only care

1173
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 3: about a couple of guys. We'll hit on them now.

1174
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs B grade. Since Aidan O'Connell took over in

1175
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 3: Week nine, Jacob's getting a lot of work. Twenty four touches,

1176
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 3: one hundred total yards and point eight scores per game. Vikings,

1177
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 3: though very good run defense as they have been most

1178
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 3: of the season, they allowed the third fewest touchdowns per

1179
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 3: game to opposing running backs, only point four per game.

1180
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 3: The Vikings allow the fifth fewest total yards per game

1181
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 3: to opposing running backs as well. All that, you know,

1182
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 3: all the it's one hundred and three per game total.

1183
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 3: All that should go to Jacobs, who's seen at least

1184
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of the snaps in five straight weeks.

1185
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 3: So true workhorse back in Josh Jacobs. So even in

1186
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 3: a tough matchup is a good run defense, he comes

1187
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 3: in with a B grade. You care about. DeVante Adams

1188
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 3: hasn't been the game breaker we're used to, but still

1189
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 3: providing a solid floor. With Aidan O'Connell at the he

1190
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,479
Speaker 3: home averaging six catches eighty four yards while scoring once

1191
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 3: in the last three games. The Vikings secondary gives up

1192
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 3: over fourteen receptions per game to wideouts, that is fourth

1193
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 3: most well giving up the tenth most yards per game

1194
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 3: to the position. So I still think Adams is a

1195
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 3: very safe start here. Vikings don't give up a lot

1196
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 3: of scores to wideouts, just half a touchdown per game

1197
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 3: since September. Solid, but probably not an explosive game coming

1198
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 3: for DeVonta Adams, who comes in with a B grade.

1199
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 6: Really yeah, sorry, I had to look. I know this

1200
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 6: is the Packers. This is adams history against the Vikings

1201
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 6: with Green Bay touchdown wise one, two, three two. It's

1202
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 6: the last four games against the Lakes.

1203
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 5: Wow.

1204
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, he likes playing them.

1205
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: Jacoby Meyers also a plausible start here, coming off his

1206
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 3: best game with Aidan O'Connell a quarterback last week. Six catches,

1207
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 3: seventy nine yards and a touchdown. Vikings allowing one hundred

1208
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 3: and eighty one passing yards per game in a way games,

1209
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 3: which is very low, and it's about eighty yards less

1210
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 3: than they give up at home. Myers has twelve red

1211
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 3: zone targets, which is solid, and they do like to

1212
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 3: use him near the stripe. I can see a plausible

1213
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 3: spot here for Jacoby Myers, but I don't expect greatness

1214
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 3: C grade for him. Ain't no Caddle's on the bench.

1215
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 3: I don't know that you'd be replacing anybody for him anyway.

1216
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 3: Here Vikings have allowed zero or one touchdown pass in

1217
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: eight of the last nine games. Let's go to Denver

1218
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 3: taking on the Chargers. Scott, I already told you I

1219
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 3: like Russell Wilson to take a chance on me a quarterback.

1220
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 3: What do you think of his receiving options in this game?

1221
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 7: I agree with you on Russell Wilson. I had a

1222
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 7: B grade on him, which means I got a couple

1223
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 7: of receivers I like in this game. I have a

1224
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 7: B grade on Courtland Sutton and a C grade on

1225
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 7: Jerry Judy. Chargers bottom three against wide receivers, fifth, most

1226
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 7: yards allowed, sixth most touchdowns allowed. Judy himself only one

1227
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 7: game over sixty five yards and only one touchdown on

1228
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 7: the year. So the best, even in a great matchup

1229
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 7: with a quarterback matchup that's great.

1230
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 4: The best I can.

1231
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 7: Do for him is a C grade, hoping he does

1232
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 7: those like three for sixty five four for sixty five,

1233
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 7: just barely edges double digit touch, double digit fantasy points.

1234
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 7: I do have a B grade on Sutton, though. Take

1235
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 7: away the scores and he's only averaging four catches for

1236
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 7: fifty one yards, but that's still a just barely C level.

1237
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 4: But he scores all the time.

1238
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 7: Forty seven percent of the team's end zone targets six

1239
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 7: scores in the last seven games. He probably needs the score,

1240
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 7: but I think he gets it here in this matchup.

1241
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 7: So B grade B grade on Courtland Sutton running game.

1242
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 7: I only have a B grade on Javonte Williams, Jalil McLoughlin,

1243
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 7: and Samandrea p Ryan now seem to be splitting. It

1244
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 7: was a mcglofflin game last week, it was a p

1245
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 7: Ryn game the week before. It's it seems like it's

1246
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 7: enough of a split to annoy fantasy owners that you

1247
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 7: can't start them. You can only start Davonte. He's getting

1248
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 7: a B grade, averaging over twenty touches for eighty three

1249
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 7: yards since returning to the lead back role, is getting

1250
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 7: a few catches a game as well. He's only I

1251
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 7: scored twice in those six weeks. But the Chargers, they're

1252
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 7: eleventh Thesiast against runners seventeen plus touch backs like Javonte

1253
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 7: Williams is are averaging about ninety five total yards. I'm

1254
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 7: giving him a B here. Over to the Chargers side,

1255
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 7: I have a C grade on Justin Herbert, who, like Minshew,

1256
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 7: almost seems like you have to pick your spots this

1257
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 7: weird year, which is really weird for Justin Herbert. But

1258
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 7: Broncos were terrible against the past to start the year,

1259
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:33,439
Speaker 7: only one multi passing pass only one multi passing touchdown game.

1260
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 7: But over the last five weeks and over the last

1261
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 7: five weeks, they held Mahomes to two hundred and forty

1262
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 7: one scory list yards, Josh Allen one hundred and seventy

1263
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 7: seven yards and one passing touchdown, Stroud to one hundred

1264
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 7: and seventy four and one. This matchup's really tough. I

1265
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 7: just don't see Herbert having a good day here. Yeah,

1266
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 7: so I have a C grade on Justin Herbert in

1267
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 7: the passing game. I'm still giving Alan the A though.

1268
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 7: Over the past month, Broncos have allowed the second fewest

1269
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 7: fantasy points to wide receivers. But Cirtan, we just saw

1270
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 7: him give up a ton to Nico Collins, when hyper targeted,

1271
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 7: and that's what happens with Allen. Not to mention, Sirtan

1272
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 7: does not shadow into the slot very much, where Keenan

1273
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 7: Allen does forty percent of his snaps, So nine plus

1274
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 7: targets every game for Keenan Allen, He's gonna get his

1275
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 7: I trust him to still get you that A grade.

1276
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 7: I do have the other guys on the bench, though.

1277
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 7: If Palmer is his practice windows open. If he does

1278
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 7: come back, he just muddies the water even more. Quentin

1279
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 7: Johnson showed up last week, but he'll be on the

1280
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 7: outside a lot, and when Keenan Allen's in the slot,

1281
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 7: he might get sartin. So I got him on the bench.

1282
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 7: Donald Parum, I can't trust he gets a lot of

1283
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 7: in zone targets, but that's pretty ballsy. Gerald Everett, however,

1284
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 7: C grade leads all tight ends in separation. The Broncos

1285
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 7: are the easiest matchup for tight ends. Eleven tight ends

1286
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 7: eleven of them in twelve games have fifty yards and

1287
01:06:58,600 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 7: or a score.

1288
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 4: That's it's basically almost every week. Yeah.

1289
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 7: In just the last four weeks they have allowed fifty

1290
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 7: plus to each of the lead touch or tight ends,

1291
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 7: and six tight ends in those four weeks have had

1292
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 7: fifty plus end or scored. It's been four for forty

1293
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 7: yards in back to back weeks forever. I think he

1294
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 7: has a slightly bigger week this week. C grade Austin Eckler.

1295
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 7: This one's tough, right, church yep, really thorny. Yeah, I

1296
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 7: have a B grade on Eckler, but I really don't

1297
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 7: love it. It's like the highest of seas of the

1298
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 7: lowest of bees. If only there was something I could say,

1299
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 7: they could designate exactly how I feel. On paper, this

1300
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 7: is like the best matchup he's going to get. Second

1301
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 7: worst against runners. A quarter of that was the Dolphins game.

1302
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 7: I get that, but they've been hit by a ton

1303
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 7: of runners. The Houston backs went well, went really well

1304
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 7: against them. The Cleveland running backs did both of them.

1305
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 7: The Vikings duo, the Buffalo backs, all of them over

1306
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 7: the last month have done awesome against the Broncos. Here

1307
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 7: that gets almost all the touches. He only has two

1308
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 7: games over seventy five total yards, though, since returning from

1309
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 7: that ankle injury, hasn't scored in three straight. This is

1310
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 7: the get right game. If he's going to have a

1311
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 7: get right game, by.

1312
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 4: The way though.

1313
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 7: He went to school, high school, and college in Colorado

1314
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 7: and historically is great against Denver. Does that play in?

1315
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 7: Does that play in over there, Brian, I'll allow it. Yes, Yeah,

1316
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 7: he's got big games in five to the last six

1317
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 7: against Denver. I have a B grade on him because

1318
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 7: the matchup is too too good to ignore. I'm going

1319
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 7: to ignore the split talk for now. I have to

1320
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 7: see Josh Kelly get into the range before I actually

1321
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 7: trust it, so be great on Eckler.

1322
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 6: Josh Kelly did absolutely nothing when Eckler was hurt too.

1323
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 6: He had like a bell cow role, so I'm not

1324
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 6: too worried about that yet.

1325
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1326
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 7: Plus, Eckler is second in the league behind McCaffrey in

1327
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 7: touches inside the five. The problem is only four touchdowns

1328
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 7: on those fifteen opportunities. I know Charge hates that.

1329
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 3: Philadelphia on Dallas, Brian and tons of angles and very

1330
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 3: very meaningful game a lot of ways, But I think

1331
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 3: for a lot of us, we're most excited that Dallas

1332
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 3: Goddard off the injury list altogether and he's going to

1333
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 3: be returning, and so many of us looking for tight

1334
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 3: end help. Here comes a quasi elite level tight end

1335
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 3: back for Dallas in Dallas Goddard. What do you think

1336
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 3: of his opportunity in this game?

1337
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1338
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 6: Also another like quasi homecoming game, Dallas playing in Dallas.

1339
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 6: So a C for Dallas Goddard. But it is not

1340
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 6: a good matchup Dallas the Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys are

1341
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 6: allowing less than four catches and forty five yards per

1342
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 6: game to tight ends. No loan tight end has topped

1343
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 6: five catches against the Cowboys this season, and Goddard last

1344
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 6: scored against the Cowboys in twenty nineteen, but in the

1345
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 6: wasteland in a suspected shootout. I will give the sea

1346
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 6: to Goddard. I will mention real quick. These teams did

1347
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 6: meet in Week nine Philly one, twenty eight, twenty three.

1348
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 6: We'll reference that a few times here, sticking with the

1349
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 6: passing game and going to the wide receivers in aj

1350
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 6: Brown a B for AJB. Tough matchup on paper. The

1351
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 6: Cowboys are allowing less than eleven catches, one hundred and

1352
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,440
Speaker 6: thirty yards and a touchdown per game to opposing wide receivers.

1353
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,879
Speaker 6: But of course you're not sitting Brown, who had seven catches,

1354
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 6: sixty six yards and a touchdown in the first meeting,

1355
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 6: and dk Metcalf also went off against the Cowboys last

1356
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 6: week six catches, one hundred and thirty four yards and

1357
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 6: three touchdowns. Brown could do the same. I'm not predicting that,

1358
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 6: but you're not benching him. So a B for Brown.

1359
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 6: You're not benching Devonte Smith either, Gonna give him a C.

1360
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 6: Pretty much the same story for Smith that we have

1361
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 6: with Brown. Not a great matchup, but he's tough to sit.

1362
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 6: Smith had three catches, fifty one yards and a touchdown

1363
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 6: in the Week nine game against the Cowboys, so he

1364
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 6: is certainly startable here, as is Jalen Hurts. He gets

1365
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 6: a B in that Week nine game. Hurts at two

1366
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 6: hundred and seven passing yards with two touchdowns while adding

1367
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 6: another thirty six yards and a rushing score. So a

1368
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 6: safe B for Hurts against the Cowboys, who are ranked

1369
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 6: six sixth in pass coverage by Pro Football Focus, but

1370
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 6: they've surrendered three hundred plus passing yards end or multiple

1371
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 6: passing touchdowns in four of their last five games. And

1372
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 6: lastly for Philly, a sea for DeAndre Swift, who fell

1373
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 6: flat against Dallas in the first meeting, was seventy four

1374
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 6: scoreless combo yards on twenty touches, and in fact, since

1375
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 6: Week three, Swift has topped one hundred combo yards just once.

1376
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 6: But the volume should be there against the Cowboys, But

1377
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 6: just a C four Swift and over to the Dallas

1378
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 6: side and their running back Tony Pollard gets to see

1379
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 6: he's picked up the pace recently, at least in terms

1380
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 6: of touchdowns. He's now scored in three straight games. But

1381
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 6: not a great matchup for Pollard. Philly is allowing just

1382
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 6: one hundred convo yards per game to running backs and

1383
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 6: they've surrendered just three total scores to the position all year,

1384
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 6: So a soft seed for Pollard. A very hard a

1385
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 6: though for Ced Lamb. Lamb did not score in the

1386
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 6: first meeting, but his eleven catches for one hundred and

1387
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 6: ninety one yards certainly made up for that. The Eagles

1388
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 6: are allowing nearly two hundred yards and two touchdown per

1389
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 6: game to opposing wideouts, so you know what, not a

1390
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 6: hard ay. He gets the fantasy Fonsie a CD Lamb,

1391
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 6: So you gotta like Brandon Cooks as well, Denniss Henry.

1392
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 6: Brandon Cooks gets a B. He only had one catch

1393
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 6: for seven scoreless yards in the first meeting, but Cooks

1394
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 6: has been surging since then, scoring a touchdown in three

1395
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 6: of his last four games. The only game, the only

1396
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 6: game Cooks failed to score a touchdown during that span

1397
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 6: was a blowout win against the Panthers, a team that

1398
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 6: no one throws on, so that is certainly excusable. Michael Gallup,

1399
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 6: I was close to giving a sea, but he's more

1400
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 6: of a DFS dart throw. He's on the bench for me,

1401
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 6: but Jake Ferguson is not.

1402
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 5: He gets a B.

1403
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 6: Fergie is now a top eight tight end this season,

1404
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 6: and he could climb the ranks even more after this game.

1405
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 6: Fergie had seven catches ninety one yards in a touchdown

1406
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 6: in the first meeting, and including that game, the Eagles

1407
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 6: have allowed a tight end touchdown and three of their

1408
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 6: last five. So a B for Ferguson and Dak Prescott

1409
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 6: MVP candidate three hundred and seventy four passing yards with

1410
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 6: three touchdowns in the meeting. Easy A for Deck. That

1411
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 6: was a thorny one. But I'm done.

1412
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 7: You want to put some money on money on Dak

1413
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 7: for me for MVP.

1414
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 3: You're only going to get three to one on your money.

1415
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get.

1416
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 4: A lot can give me I want Yeah, what's the

1417
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 4: what's on tyree here?

1418
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 3: That's that's a lot charge. He's like plus twelve hundred.

1419
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 7: I'm still not you stole Ceedee Lamb from me and

1420
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 7: our guy team.

1421
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're upset about it. I need him, baby,

1422
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 3: and I need him. I need him this week when

1423
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 3: we come back that epic game Buffalo at Kansas City.

1424
01:13:34,400 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 3: Will talk that through when we return, final segment of

1425
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 3: the win. And you're in addition of Fantasy Football Weekly

1426

Speaker 3: Paul Jarchi and Scott Fish Brian Johnson, you can follow

1427
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 3: us on the site formerly known as Twitter. I'm at

01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 3: Paul Jarchian, Scott is at Scott Fish twenty four, and

1429
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 3: Brian is at b t x JA. As mentioned, heading

1430
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 3: into the break, Buffalo taking on Kansas City in a

1431
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 3: wild game. Get there. These are two teams that, despite

1432
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 3: not being in the same division over the last three years,

1433
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 3: have played each other five times, which is pretty staggering

1434
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 3: for non divisional teams, and there's been a ton of

1435
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 3: points scored typically in these games. Let's start in the

1436
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 3: Buffalo bill side. Josh Allen comes in with an A

1437
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 3: grade and so does step On Digs but for Diggs,

1438
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 3: it's a little bit trickier. He is in gonna be

1439
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,799
Speaker 3: in a dog fight with the elite cornerback Lagerius Sneak,

1440
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 3: who usually gets deployed against the opposing top wide receiver,

1441
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 3: which is clearly Stephan Diggs. Get this. Since Week six,

1442
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 3: Lagerius Sneed's average game against him two catches for twenty

1443
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 3: three scoreless yards in his coverage. Just two or three

1444
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago, he did the lockdown treatment on AJ Brown

1445
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 3: and held him to one catch for nine yards. So

1446
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 3: this Lagarious Snead thing is legit. But we've seen Diggs

1447
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 3: get this kind of treatment in the past and be

1448
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 3: able to beat it. So I'm still got a low

1449
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 3: A grade on Stefan Diggs, but just know there's some

1450
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 3: sneaky downside on him if it comes to that. Now

1451
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 3: this brings Gabe Davis into play. He's, as you guys

1452
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 3: all know, he's the ultimate hit or miss player. I

1453
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 3: lean towards hit in this one.

1454
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 4: Okay, Now he had good games?

1455
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 3: Has he had good games? Yes? His last two games

1456
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 3: against Kansas City two hundred and seventy five yards and

1457
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 3: six touchdowns. So you know we lean hit on this.

1458
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 5: Now they know that.

1459
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 3: Of course you'd think that they could do something about it.

1460
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 3: But the problem is they got to put Sneed on Diggs.

1461
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 3: That puts Gabe Davis on Jalen Watson for much of

1462
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 3: this game, and I just think that's gonna put him

1463
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 3: in a really good spot. And if you go back

1464
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 3: to that Aj Brown game right where Brown had the

1465
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 3: one catch for eight nine yards, gave on to Smith

1466
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 3: six catches for ninety nine yards on the other side,

1467
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 3: So I think that's where Gabe Davis is looking at here.

1468
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 3: I think he's looking at the big game. So I've

1469
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 3: got a B grade on him. You know who goes

1470
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 3: to the bench, Dalton kN Caid far riskier proposition because

1471
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 3: Dawson Knock is gonna play in this one, and Kinkaid

1472
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 3: had five or fewer receptions in every game with Dawson Knox.

1473
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,799
Speaker 3: He had five or more with every game with Knox,

1474
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 3: so there's some danger here. Kansas City's allowed the fourth

1475
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 3: fewest yards to tight ends, the fourth fewest receptions to

1476
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 3: tight ends, and no tight end is top thirty seven

1477
01:16:55,920 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 3: yards in two months against Kansas City. So Kaid, for

1478
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,839
Speaker 3: as great as this was, this run was without Dawson

1479
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 3: Knox with the matchup of knocks back. He's on the bench.

1480
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 3: That leaves James Cook. His rushing output in yards per

1481
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 3: carry have dropped in three straight games, but targets, receptions,

1482
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 3: are receiving yards of all increase. The last five opposing

1483
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 3: starting running backs against the Chiefs have averaged one hundred

1484
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,879
Speaker 3: total yards per game, with four of the five scoring.

1485
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 3: The Chiefs have the fifth worst run defense grade by

1486
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus and the worst run stop win rate

1487
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 3: in the entire league. So I kind of like him here.

1488
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 3: Cook facing six or more defenders in the box on

1489
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 3: a league low eight percent of his rushing attempts. That's it.

1490
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 3: So there's some nice opportunity for James Cook in this one.

1491
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,759
Speaker 3: I know we've many people have been burned on James Cook.

1492
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 4: But I like him here here too.

1493
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 5: Great.

1494
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Scott. I appreciate the validation. We

1495
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 3: talked earlier in this show about the struggles of Patrick Mahomes.

1496
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 3: I told you over the last five games he's quarterback

1497
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 3: twenty one. His average box score over those five games

1498
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty two yards and one point four touchdowns.

1499
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 3: That's it. Over the past seven games, the Bills haven't

1500
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 3: given up many yards, just two hundred and twenty four

1501
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 3: per game passing yards per game, but they've yielded near

1502
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 3: the end zone, so maybe some more touchdowns coming. I

1503
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 3: worry a little bit about Travis kelcey maybe being held

1504
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 3: in check. We'll talk about him in a second. And

1505
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 3: the rest of the wide receivers for Mahomes are total

1506
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 3: wild cards. As always, Buffalo's secondary missing Tredavius White and

1507
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 3: Kite ear E limit cornerback, but they've been okay without them.

1508
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 3: Buffalo allowing the fewest yards per pass at just six

1509
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 3: point five yards per pass, and so I don't think

1510
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 3: Mahomes is gonna get much going downfield. The best I

1511
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,560
Speaker 3: can get you is a B grade on Patrick Mahomes.

1512
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 3: I'm sticking with an A grade on Travis kelce because

1513
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 3: of the absolute domination he's had against Buffalo in the

1514
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 3: five matchups he's had since twenty twenty. His per game

1515
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 3: averages are ten targets, eight catches, ninety yards, and one

1516
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 3: point two touchdowns per game. Gigantic tight end numbers. Buffalo

1517
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 3: has been a very good tight end defense this year,

1518
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 3: though nobody his top fifty one yards. They've allowed just

1519
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 3: forty yards per game to the position, which is excellent.

1520
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 3: I considered giving Kelsey a B grade here, but I

1521
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 3: can't get myself to do her. Guys yet, it's still

1522
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey. I can't do it. Staying with the passing game,

1523
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 3: how about ra she Rice, who has now established himself

1524
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 3: as the clear wide receiver one on the Chiefs with

1525
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 3: a second straight week of at least sixty seven percent

1526
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 3: of the snaps and nine targets. His eight and eight

1527
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 3: receptions the past two games are the first time at

1528
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 3: Kansas City receiver has done that in over one year.

1529
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 3: Rice's twelve red zone targets are tied for eighth in

1530
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 3: the league. I mean that puts him in the conversation

1531
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 3: with guys like Stefan Diggs and AJ Brown, So you know,

1532
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 3: those fourteen red zone targets are excellent. The Bills allow

1533
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 3: about one touchdown per game to wide receivers, and they've

1534
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 3: given up six in the past five games. So if

1535
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 3: there's a touchdown to be had for a wide receiver,

1536
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I like Rashi to be that guy, and I've got

1537
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 3: a B grade on him. The running game is unfortunately

1538
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 3: a mess in turmult here. Yeah, no, Isaiah Pacheco has

1539
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 3: been ruled out for this game. Clyde Edwards Hilaire is

1540
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 3: your starter. Pacheco is not going. As I mentioned, there's

1541
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 3: some opportunity for Clyde Edwards Ailaire, and I've got a

1542
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 3: C grade on him. The Bill's allowing one hundred and

1543
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 3: thirty five total yards per game to opposing running backs,

1544
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 3: that's ninth worst, and the Bills allow four point six

1545
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 3: yards per carry, that's fourth worst. Edwards Hilaire, he's fresh

1546
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 3: after being lightly used all season, and he's playing for

1547
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 3: an offseason contract. By the way, he's coming up on

1548
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 3: free agency, so there's a little extra motivation there. C

1549
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 3: grade for him and a C grade for Jeric McKinnon

1550
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 3: startable in PPR leagues. Buffalo allows the fourth most running

1551
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 3: back receptions, fourth most running back receiving yards, and Buffalo's

1552
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,640
Speaker 3: allowed a running back receiving touchdown in two of the

1553
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 3: last three games. So McKinnon expected to be healthy to

1554
01:20:55,560 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 3: this for this game. And somebody you can use go

1555
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 3: to Green Bay taking on the Giants. Scott Jordan Love

1556
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 3: has been really very good over the last three games.

1557
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 5: Now.

1558
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 3: He's Scott what looks to be a very favorable matchup

1559
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:10,919
Speaker 3: on paper.

1560
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 4: Against the Giants.

1561
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was might take a chance on me player,

1562
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 7: but I'm gonna make you do this real quick. McKinnon

1563
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 7: or Ceh, who do you start?

1564
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Cech. I'm gonna take the sure carries

1565
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 3: that he brings to the table.

1566
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 7: Okay, back to the Green Bay, New York Giants matchup

1567
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 7: Jordan Love and Jaden Reid. Should he go, which he should?

1568
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 7: Were I take a chance on me players? Who else

1569
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 7: do I got? I got Romeo Dobbs with a C

1570
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 7: grade here, still get most of the snaps has scored

1571
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 7: in for the last seven He's usually getting like three

1572
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 7: to five catches a game. He's gonna get an ok

1573
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 7: matchup against Deontay Banks, who let McLaurin and Wilson. That's

1574
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 7: Garrett Wilson, DeVonta Ams, Ceedee Lambs all had great days

1575
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 7: on them. But it took seven plus targets, and I

1576
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 7: think he gets there. If Christian Watson doesn't go, who

1577
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 7: hasn't practiced all week. I don't think he goes Christian Watson.

1578
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 7: If he does go, I have a B grade on

1579
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 7: a guy that's over the last five weeks. Only the

1580
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 7: Giants are giving up more passing yards to receivers than

1581
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,799
Speaker 7: the Giants. Christian Watson scored four times the last three weeks,

1582
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 7: but if he doesn't go, I'm giving Dobbs the see

1583
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 7: Darth throw here in Dantavian Wicks he had four plus catches.

1584
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 7: He had six catches for eighty five yards in a

1585
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 7: score in the two weeks that Watson was out. That's

1586
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 7: total like three for forty plus each game. He's an

1587
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 7: interesting Darth throw. If Watson doesn't go, bench grade for

1588
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 7: Tucker Craft, Luke Musgrave can't return, so he won't be back.

1589
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 7: But Ben Simms did steal the score last week. Giants

1590
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 7: have only allowed two tight ends scores all year, their

1591
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 7: fourth best against tight ends. I'm gonna leave him on

1592
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 7: the bench for this one. Aj Dillon, I got a

1593
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 7: C grade on seventeen plus touches and three straight is great,

1594
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 7: but it's amounted to sixty to eighty five scoreless yards.

1595
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 7: I know Stevenson went over one hundred on the Giants

1596
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 7: and Zeke added fifty. You know teams have tagged the

1597
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 7: Giants a little bit more recently. If he was more effective,

1598
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 7: or more of a pass catcher or more of a

1599
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 7: scoring threat. AJ Dillon might get a B. But you

1600
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 7: love the inside the five stats, I got one for you,

1601
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 7: and tell me if you love this charge. We saw

1602
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 7: Ben Sims score the one yarder so I had last week,

1603
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,879
Speaker 7: so I had to check AJ Dillon. His last attempt

1604
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 7: inside the five was Week eight. Geez, he's not he's

1605
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 7: not getting those so useless and he's hurt. Yeah, over

1606
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 7: to the giant side. I have the entire passing game

1607
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 7: on the bench. Packers allowing the eighth fewest yards and

1608
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 7: fourth fewest touchdowns to quarterbacks and their top ten in

1609
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 7: both those categories as well against wide receivers. You wouldn't

1610
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 7: even know which one to start. Darren Waller's likely out

1611
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 7: another week as well, so it's only Saquon Barkley with

1612
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 7: the B grade. Over the last month, both Pittsburgh Backs

1613
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 7: torched the Packers. Both Detroit packs to torch the Packers

1614
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:06,839
Speaker 7: Pacheco at one hundred plus.

1615
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 4: Even Austin Eckler had.

1616
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 7: Seventy yards, So that tells you where this defense is

1617
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 7: on that with Tommy DeVito as the full starter, Barkley's

1618
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,879
Speaker 7: averaging sixteen for ninety four had a couple of receiving scores.

1619
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 7: He's also still getting those catches two to four catches

1620
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 7: the game.

1621
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 4: B great on sek on Barkley.

1622
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to our final matchup, Tennessee taking

1623
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 3: on Miami. Derrick Henry been ups and down. I think

1624
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 3: this matchup Brian for Derrick Henry.

1625
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 6: Not a smash spot for Henry. Unfortunately, I just have

1626
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 6: a C grade on him. It should have looked like

1627
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 6: Henry suffered at concussion last week, but King Henry never

1628
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 6: went into protocol, so he'll be full go. But a

1629
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 6: brutal matchup for Henry. Opposing backs or averaging just twenty

1630
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 6: four touches against the Dolphins for one hundred and nine

1631
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 6: combo yards per game. The Dolphins have allowed just one

1632
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 6: touchdown to the running back position over the last five games.

1633
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 6: So a see for Henry and we love him here,

1634
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 6: but for those reasons.

1635
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 4: Ty J.

1636
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 6: Spears is on the bench in this one. It's just

1637
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 6: even though he's arguably he's probably has the second most

1638
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,839
Speaker 6: receptions on the Titans, and it will be a positive

1639
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 6: script for the passing game. I still got Spears on

1640
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 6: the bench, but I got to see grade on DeAndre Hopkins.

1641
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 6: You can't love his prospects with Will Levis under center,

1642
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 6: but Nuke has seen at least eight targets and three

1643
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 6: of his last five games, and you can expect similar

1644
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 6: volume and what should be probably a positive game script

1645
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 6: for the Titans passing game. Again, so a sea for Hopkins,

1646
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:36,839
Speaker 6: but he's the only one I'm starting for the Titans

1647
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 6: passing game. Traylon Burks is back, but he is on

1648
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 6: the bench. Chicko Konquo is on the bench. Will Levis

1649
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 6: is on the bench. I think we might see Ryan

1650
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 6: Tannehill come in relief in a revenge game scenario against

1651
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,560
Speaker 6: his old team in this one. So it doesn't know,

1652
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 6: yeah both, yeah, why not both? He'll throw it to himself.

1653
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 6: You might lead the team in both categories over the

1654
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 6: Dolphins side. Ob A for Tyreek Hill. I have to

1655
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 6: mention this stat really quick. Tyreek is averaging more than

1656
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 6: at least forty yards in the first, second, and third

1657
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 6: quarters of games this year, but like four in the

1658
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 6: fourth because they're not using he should be averaging like

1659
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 6: nearly two hundred yards per game. So an easy a

1660
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 6: for Hill on a record setting pace. A for two

1661
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 6: Tungo Viola, Jalen Waddle is basically an automatic B world

1662
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 6: whenever he's healthy. He doesn't have the upside of hill,

1663
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 6: but he certainly can offer you some upside with the

1664
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 6: safe floor. And we're not going to Durham's smythe unfortunately

1665
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 6: at the tight end position for the Dolphins. But we

1666
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 6: definitely have to talk about Devin h Chan and Raheem Moster.

1667
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 6: Unfortunately just a C for both because they're gonna eat

1668
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 6: each other's lunch yet again. A Chan returned last week,

1669
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 6: played sixty one percent of the snaps, handled twenty touches

1670
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 6: for one hundred and three combo yards, so he was

1671
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 6: technically the lead back. Raheem Moster took a back seat,

1672
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 6: but Mostart got the short touchdown run finished with fifty

1673
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 6: plus conbo yards. So certainly both are viable against the Titans,

1674
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 6: who have yielded the seventh most red zone touches to

1675
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 6: running back to this season and over the last five games,

1676
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 6: Tennessee is allowing one hundred and twenty plus conboy yards

1677
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 6: per game to the running back position.

1678
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that most at Achen thing will be it'll be

1679
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 3: fascinating to say this goes down the stretch the you know, Moster,

1680
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 3: we kept waiting for him to get hurt. It's you know,

1681
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 3: we're getting close to mid Decemmer here and it hasn't

1682
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 3: happened yet, which has been fantastic for his owners.

1683
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 6: Of course, RB two Raheem mosart Is it's crazy on

1684
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 6: the air.

1685
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, fantastic season for him, no doubt about it.

1686
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

1687
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to this win and in edition
