I think you got it figured out well? 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:27.520 I feel so well. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.880 Yes, I mentioned it's winning your in week. It's the 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.959 week before the playoffs, so for a lot of you, 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.959 you have to have this win. We're here to help. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.160 We'll break down all the games Fantasy Football Weekly style 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.720 with letter grades on every player who matters. Plus take 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.440 a chance on me nine players that you can unearth. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.760 Maybe you've been rocking Sam Howel for a long time 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.680 and you need a replacement quarterback. We're here to help. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.560 Three tough questions later on in the show. Yeah, nicely done, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.960 because that's gonna be my only chance to uh to 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.120 mention Sam Howel today. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.440 Yeah, I dropped a half a howl half. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.800 We'll take a half how and we'll answer three tough 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.480 questions later on in the show. Only one team on 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.640 by so it means we've got a lot of games 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.200 to break down, and we begin with Carolina taking on 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.120 New Orleans Scott not a lot to like in Carolina, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.400 even the usually reliable Adam Thielen has dried up of late. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.960 Do you have many, if any starting grades for Panthers here? 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:23.400 Yeah? 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.760 Can I be honest, I don't have many starting grades 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.520 in this matchup at all. I mean, we got Bryce 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.680 Young top, but he's facing a top twelve pass defense. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.880 Bryce hasn't top two hundred yards since we gave He's 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.080 only got one multi score game. I do have him 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.040 on the bench against the Saints here, others in the 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.720 past game Adam Feelen and Jonathan Mingo. I have him 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.440 on the bench, but I'm gonna note quickly Saints are 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.560 second best against the perimeter, but they're ninth worst against 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.000 the slot, and we two thelan had himself. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.640 A day against them. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.720 So it's a good spot if you're really in desperation 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.880 dart mode, dart throw mode. But I do have him 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.280 on the bench because what we saw last week is 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.640 the coaching staff didn't really feed him. Me I believe 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.320 three targets. I think he had caught all three of 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.520 those targets. But Jonathan Mingo also kind of in that 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.040 dart throw ring range. I have him on the bench. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.560 He kind of broke. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520 Out last week the coaching staff threw ten targets at him. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.320 That new coaching staff after Frank Reich was fired. He 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.359 was almost my take a chance on my me player 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.119 last week because the good matchup. But in this one 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.880 he's gonna get Paulson Adebu, who's been great with Latimore 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.320 on IR. The nice things about Mingo he's on the 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.680 field ninety five percent of the time. It's just a really, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.040 really tough matchup. Again, you have to be desperate, so 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.480 I do have him on the bench. Dart throw desperate Chubb. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.520 You know what I forgot this, This is where we 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.200 need to charge. There's the dearth throw, Darth throw for 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:50.960 Jonathan Mingo. 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:52.520 Chewba Hubbard. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.400 I'm giving a B grade two once again with the 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.760 coaching staff. We saw what they wanted to do last 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.200 week very clearly. He gave Chewba Hubbard twenty five carries 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.000 only through to running backs four times, two or twice, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.000 and both were to Miles Sanders. Cuba and Miles combined 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.640 for one hundred and seven in a week two in 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.880 this matchup. But a lot has changed since then. Five 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.520 of six lead backs against the Saints over the last 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.719 six weeks have scored, including three straight. The one who 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.240 didn't totaled ninety seven yards. So it's been an OK 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.240 matchup for the lead back. The Saints still give up 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.520 match in the pass game twenty two point eight yards 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.880 per game at pass game to running backs, but similar 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.640 volume backs. What Cuba was doing last week, what he's done, 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.680 you know, the twenty ish touch running backs eighty three yards, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.800 ninety yards, ninety one yards, ninety five yards. I wouldn't 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.799 be surprised if he gets eighty two one hundred yards 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.880 likelihood of scoring because that's what New Orleans has been 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.600 allowing recently. So I got a B grade on Chewba Hubbard. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.000 On the other side, I got nothing in the pass game. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.880 I don't even care if it's car or Winston going. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.880 The Panthers are allowing one hundred and ninety one passing 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.760 yards per game. That's just nothing. Teams are just running 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.400 on him. They they're just. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.280 Yeah, I'll just say quote unquote allowing there. They're allowing 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.680 that much because no one throws on them. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.480 Yeah, I was gonna find the love hurts because this 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:23.120 is really an everybody runs situation against Carolina. I hope 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.680 you like my singing there so I know Kamara can 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.080 be an extension through the pass game, but I don't 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.440 think he's gonna do enough forget to get stats for 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.159 the quarterback here, Chris a Lave is the only wide 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.200 receiver I'm considering starting only receiving option. Honestly, Taysom Hill's 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.440 been missing practice all week. Rashi Ya Heat is still 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.440 in protocol. Chris Alave has been out with an illness 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.680 but is expected to play. It's a tough match matchup. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.440 Winston targeted a Lave forty percent of the time once 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.840 car went down, and Carr was already targeting him like 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.240 twenty five to thirty percent of the time. One one 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.720 fun stat here I got for Chris a Lave. He's 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.760 averaging over two PPR points per target, not per catch, 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.599 per target over the last four They're just hyper targeting 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.440 him and he's getting fantasy points on those targets. The Panthers, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.039 despite holding the pass game down, are bottom eight on 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.359 deep ball pass rate allowed, which Chris a Lave or 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.280 Shahida if he does go. But Chris Alave definitely can 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.120 make Hay with I do have a not very confident 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.320 a grade on him on the assumption he's going to 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.440 get ten plus touches. There are ten plus targets. Alvin Kamara, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.640 I do have an A grade on because everyone runs 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.120 on Carolina. We've talked about it a couple of times. 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.760 He's averaging twelve PPR points just on pass game work. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.560 If he hasn't been very explosive or very efficient in 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.800 the run game, but this is the matchup for him. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:54.160 Sim Yeah, carolinea allows the fifth highest yards per carry, 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.000 fourth highest rushing yards, and the most rushing scores. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.839 A grade on Alvin Kamara. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.200 You know, Carolina, you're talking about the good pass defense. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.240 They got J. C. Horn back and he is a 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.720 terrific cornerback, so I think it's a pretty legitimate good 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.680 good pass defense. Yeah, Brian, let's head over to you. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.680 Seattle takes on San Francisco. Gino Smith coming off a 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.640 dramatically better game than I expected last week against Dallas, 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.320 but right back into the grinder in a tough matchup 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:21.440 at San Francisco. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.720 Yeah, tough matchup, and he's also dealing with the groin injury, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.200 still listed officially as questionable to play. And I do 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.880 want to mention real quick Seattle and San Francisco just 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.080 met in Week twelve. The forty nine Ers rolled the 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.360 Seahawks thirty one to thirteen in that game, so starting 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.160 with Gino, he only had one hundred and eighty scoreless 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.120 passing yards in that first meeting against the forty nine Ers, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.040 who are ranked third and pass coverage by Pro Football Focus. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.040 San Francisco has surrendered just twelve passing touchdowns all season. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.560 That's the second fewest with fifteen interceptions, the most in 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.520 the league. So Gino on the bench for me even 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.000 if he plays, And for his receivers dk Metcalf, Jack 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.000 Smith and Jig but Tyler Lockett, I have a C 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.920 on all of them. These three combined for just eight 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.240 catches and one hundred and three scoreless yards in that 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.160 first meeting meeting, meaning they all should have been benched. Really, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.240 but odds are at least one producers here. The forty 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.360 nine Ers have yielded the third most targets to wide 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.520 receivers and the fourth most red zone targets, so game 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.960 script should favor the passing game, even if you know 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.000 it sits. But I will give this put so I'll 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.320 put a C on all three wide receivers, and I 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.960 have a C on Kenneth Walker and Zach Sharbonay, who 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.120 are both expected to play. Walker will be returning from 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.000 an oblique injury. Sharbon Nay is dealing with a knee injury. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.760 As a bad matchup, though, you know what, I'm changing 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.440 my mind. If they both play, they're both on the bench. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.600 It's a brutal matchup. If one sits, I will start 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.959 the other. But if both are, if both are active, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:48.840 they're both on the bench. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:49.120 For me. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.360 Over to the San Francisco side, Christian McCaffrey is certainly 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.600 not on the bench. Easy A for him not getting 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.960 into that. Brandon Ayuk gonna give him a B. The 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.480 game script did not favor the forty nine ers game 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.040 when these teams first met. It was a CMC ground game. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.800 But Ayuk did catch two passes for fifty yards and 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.000 a touchdown, and the Seahawks are allowing a healthy fourteen 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.719 catches one hundred and sixty yards and one touchdown per 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.280 game to opposing wide out. So B for Ayuk. Also 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.600 at B for Deebo Samuel. He had a good game 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.679 in that first meeting, seven catches for seventy nine yards. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.680 He added fifteen rushing yards with a rushing score in 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.960 that game, So a B for Samuel just to see. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.720 For George Kittle, though, he was quiet in the first 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.200 meeting three catches for nineteen scoreless yards, and he didn't 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.760 do much against Seattle in the playoffs last year either, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.240 two catches for thirty seven scoreless yards. The Seahawks have 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.400 surrendered just two tight end touchdowns, but they are allowing 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.160 more than five catches and fifty yards per game to 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.120 the position. That's decent production. So the sea for Kittle, 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.160 and lastly, just a be on brock party modest two 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.520 hundred and nine passing yards, had one touchdown in the 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.720 first meeting. Again, it was a CMC ground game. Hopefully 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.560 Seattle keeps it a little cliar. Dak Prescott has had 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.760 a monster game against Seattle last week. You're not sitting 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.600 Rockberdy basically, so be on him, you know. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.400 I'll note that although George Kittle did have a quiet 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.640 game when these teams met earlier this year, last year 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.320 in the two meetings, four touchdowns for George Kittle in 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.080 these matchups. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.360 So yes, in the regular season, he was quiet in 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.640 the playoffs, but uh yeah, Kittle is a Spike week player. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:25.080 You never know. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.120 I don't think he has a super high ceiling, but 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.640 you're not gonna sit him obviously. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.719 All right, let's talk about Detroit taking on Chicago. These 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.720 teams also just met a couple of weeks ago. Let's 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.680 start with the passing game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.520 and obvious a here. He had an eight catch seventy 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.679 seven yard game with a touchdown when they met three 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.040 weeks ago. He runs from the slot, refaces competent but 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.280 not special cornerback Kyler Gordon. Chicago allows the fifth shortest 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.920 average pass and that's kind of I'm on Ross Saint 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.360 Brown's game anyway, is those quick passes and then yards 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.959 after the catch. So nothing here to deter you from 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.240 starting I'm on Ross sat round like you normally would. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.320 Sam Laporta posted season lows against the Bears in the 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.960 first matchup, but the Bears have allowed the tenth most 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.000 points to tight ends this season, kind of middle of 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.400 the pack. They've allowed five touchdowns on the season to 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.439 tight ends, including one to TJ. Howkinson last week. Come 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.560 in with a B grade on la Porta. We think 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.720 in totality is probably a lot better than what he 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.439 showed against the Bears last time, and all the other 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.920 Detroit wide receivers are on the bench. They cannibalize each 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.840 other and it's a tricky matchup. Over the past five weeks, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.240 Chicago allowing the third fewest yards per game to opposing 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.520 wide receivers, in no small part because the emergence of 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:40.400 elite cornerback Jalen Johnson just suffocating opponents. To this point, 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.160 he's giving up two receptions for ten yards in his 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:50.440 coverage over the last five weeks. It is nuts. Yeah, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.800 so everybody else on the bench, let's go to the runners. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.640 There's some reason for caution here. Well, actually, while we're 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.800 doing the receiving game, let me go to Jared Goff, 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.120 who comes in with a B grade. In Chicago's pass 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.640 defense dramatically improved, as I mentioned. Fortunately, the individual matchups 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.760 for I'm on, Russaint Brown and Sam Laporte, I think 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.280 are good enough that GoF remains fairly stable here. Chicago 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.720 has allowed multiple touchdown passes in three of the past 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.640 five and I think Goff is in that one to 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.640 two range for touchdowns, hopefully on the two sides. So 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.960 given him the B grade. For David Montgomery Jamiir Gibbs, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.559 this is a tricky matchup. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:23.400 Now. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.920 Bears run defense has been good really all year, but 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.280 even better lately. They all the fifth fewest rushing yards 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.280 per game, the second fewest yards per attempt. They rank 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.680 number two in ESPN's run stuff win rate. No back 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.360 is top seventy six yards against Chicago all season. And 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.319 then the Bears only give up sixty four rushing yards 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.160 per game. And if Gibbs and Montgomery have to split 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:54.720 sixty four rushing yards, that's not great good No, Now, 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.400 the good side for more Gibbs than Montgomery is that 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.720 the Bears do give up the third most targets in 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.280 the third most reception, so I think that helps Gibbs, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.440 and he did put up six catches for fifty nine 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.640 yards when these teams met a few weeks ago. The 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.760 other side that I think Brian will appreciate revenge game 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:21.959 for David Montgomery in Chicago. So there's that angle c 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.120 grades for both Montgomery and Gibbs in a very difficult matchup. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.200 It was a buzzer beater touchdown, game winning touchdown for 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.640 David Montgomery, I believe in the first meeting as well. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.679 Yeah, I think you're right about that. Actually, so that's science. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.520 Let's go to Let's go to the let's go to 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.559 the bear side of this. This is a lot shorter. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.080 All the Chicago Runners are on the bench because it's 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.760 a three way cluster boinc between Herbert Johnson and Foreman. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.400 And Detroit's a good run defense. Nobody's top. Nobody topped 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.080 thirty five rushing yards in the previous meeting between these teams, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.800 and the Lions rank number two in rushing yards allowed 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.600 at just sixty one per game. And if you got 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.520 to split sixty one yards three ways, gross, if I 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.959 had to pick one and be Foreman, who I think 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.040 is the most likely to get goal line carries. But 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.920 I'm keeping them all on the bench. In the passing game, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.240 you only care about Justin Fields and Dj Moore, let's 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.320 start with Justin Fields. He ran for one hundred and 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.600 four yards in the meeting a few weeks ago. Detroit's 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.520 only faced one other mobile quarterback. That was Lamar Jackson, 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.400 who also ran for a touchdown in his game. Lions 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.720 are ranked twenty sixth and pass coverage by Pro Football Focus. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.840 They've given up at least three passing touchdowns in three 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.360 their last six games, so Fields has got some passing upside. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.040 He's got rushing upside in this one. A grade for 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.640 justin fields. Let's hope they keep running him man. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.520 And then DJ call from a couple of weeks ago, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.320 a bunch of A grades for fields. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:49.080 Yeah, DJ Moore, huge game on Thanksgiving? Was I think 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.080 it was a Thanksgiving that these teams met. I think 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:51.520 it was. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:53.600 There. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.040 We go nicely done? All right? On top of things, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.040 over the last five weeks, Detroit has allowed the fifth 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.120 most yards and the most touchdowns per game to opposing 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.320 wide receivers, and they allow the fourth highest a dot 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.280 at nine yards and the deep balls DJ Moore specialty, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:10.680 So we like teams that are gonna give up the 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.000 deep ball. He runs from the outside. That means we'll 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.240 see a lot of cornerback Jerry Jacobs, who over the 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.840 last five weeks, get this is allowing a passer rating 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.480 of one hundred and fifty three. Fifty eight is perfect. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:24.280 It's almost perfect. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:30.840 Yeah, So Jerry Jacobs almost perfect in futility over over 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.640 the past five weeks, DJ Moore A grade. All right, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.600 with that, let's take a break. When we come back, 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.080 take a chance on me. Nine players you'll want to 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.160 consider starting that you normally would not. Maybe you've got 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.520 a problem at the running back position because you were 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.480 counting on Isaiah Pacheco. Maybe you were a Sam Howell 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.480 owner and you need a replacement quarterback. We're here to 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.960 help you with some waiver wire level players that you 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.440 can start this week when we come back to Fantasy 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:34.800 Football Weekly. Take a chance on me, nine players not 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.200 normally new starting lineup. We begin at the quarterback position, 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.040 Scott Fish, Who you got? 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.600 I am going with Jordan Love averaging nearly thirty eight 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.360 dropbacks per game. He's passing a lot fourth in air 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.120 yards and has a nine point one eight dott. He's 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.960 really driving the ball his butt down the field, coming 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.280 off four multi score games in a row, and gets 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.480 a Giants team that yes held down Jones and Zappi 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.400 last week and or two in Week twelve a New England. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.560 But before that got the Giants got violated by Sam 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.400 Howell and Dak Presidot. Even Cooper Rush did some work 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.520 in relief of Dak. Those two total seven hundred and 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.680 eighty four yards and six scores between them. Yeah, Jordan Love, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:16.680 I take a chance on me. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.600 Flair all right, Brian, your take a Janson me quarterback. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.040 I've got Cleveland's, Yes, Cleveland's Joe Flacco at home against 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.920 the Jaguars. Now the Browns are saying their game day 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.200 quarterback is going to be a game day decision between 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.440 Flacco and Dorian Thompson Brown. But it's Thompson Robinson. I'm sorry, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.880 but it's going to be Joe Flacco in my mind. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.880 But even if it's DTR, I would I would start 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.119 him against Jacksonville, who have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.879 three of their last four games, and six of the 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.800 last eight quarterbacks Jacksonville has faced have thrown for at 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.720 least three hundred yards. Jacksonville could also be without starting 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.440 quarterback Tyson Campbell and free safety free safety Andre Cisco 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.520 of no relation to Cisco of the thong song. But 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.479 I love whoever starts a quarterback for the But it's 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.320 going to be Jill Blacklell. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.520 I'm going with Russell Wilson against the Chargers. Chargers ranked 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.000 dead last and pass defense as they have really all season, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.600 and if you remove games against backup passers, opposing starting 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:19.040 quarterbacks against the Chargers averaging three hundred and thirty seven 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.000 yards and two and a half touchdown passes. It's a 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.520 great opportunity for Wilson here. The catch with Russ is 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.879 always volume. He throws the third fewest passes, just twenty 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.439 nine per game, which generally caps his upside. But the 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.840 Chargers see the fourth most passes thirty seven per game. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.840 So if Uss is going to be closer to thirty seven, 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.679 he feels even that much safer here. He's thrown just 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.080 one touchdown in three straight games against solid defenses, but 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.400 he's augmented his fantasy score with rushing touchdowns at back 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.280 to back games, and he's actually top twenty rushing yards 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.560 in seven of the last eight games. So there, you know, 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.200 he's got a little bit of the old Russell Wilson 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.800 wheels going right now, which I like as well. Russell 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.919 Wilson might take a chance at me quarterback, So go 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.000 to the running back position, Scott, who you got? 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.960 We are going with Chase Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.960 Just last week, we saw the Bengals give Brown the 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.160 ball nine times. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:10.960 Nine times. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.480 Look at that nine bought it and. 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.760 Two of them went for huge gains. On Monday night, 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.679 the Colts allowed the third most running back touches, so 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.160 there should be enough to go around this. Colt Steel 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.840 allowing the fourth most fantasy points to running backs, including 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:28.320 second most rushing touchdowns. By the way the secondary running back. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.879 The second running back had eighty eight yards last week, 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.080 and two weeks ago had eighty eight yards. So maybe 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.439 eighty eight yards here for Chase Brown. 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.560 We would take that for sure, Brian, you take a 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:41.600 chance at your running back. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.320 I'm sticking with the Browns and I'm going with Kareem 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.879 Hunt again at home against the Jaguars. Jerome Ford is 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:52.159 technically the starter, but Hunt still getting significant touches, especially 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.600 in the red zone, where he and Ford have both 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.160 seen nine opportunities since week nine nine and since week 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.680 eight Jackson Inville has allowed the second highest explosive run 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.080 rate and the highest miss tackles per attempt. The Jaguars 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.439 have also yielded the most targets to running backs, so 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.760 it should be no surprise that they've allowed the most 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.240 receptions to the position. Love Ford and Hunt both this week. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.040 I might have to move forward up our rankings a 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.199 little bit. I might have been a little softer on 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:21.920 Ford than I should. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:22.720 I do it too. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.520
