Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the Fan. My co host today Scott

10
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Fish and Matt Harrison. Good morning. It helps you attorney

11
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: my radio professional, all right, maybe it helps to speak

12
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: into the mic. I don't know. Um, I have an

13
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: extra bounce in my step because of the Guillotine League.

14
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: It was it was all speculation until now, but now

15
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: it's real. We've had the first week in the Guillotine

16
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: League and it was so exciting. So as a very

17
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: quick reminder for people who don't maybe don't recall the

18
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: premise of the Guillotine League. Every week we have start

19
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: with seventeen teams and every week the bottom scoring team

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: gets lopped off. They're done, and the roster goes to

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: free agency. So in my draft, I decided to never

22
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: having done one who has, I decided to implement a

23
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: strategy that was almost entirely predicated on safe players, and

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: that means non running backs, so that I wouldn't end

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: up with a bunch of high risk players and get

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: knocked out early. And then I hit the waiver wire

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: hard for running backs early and just spend my early

28
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: on running backs. Leonard Fournette got Leonard Fournett's team got cut.

29
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: They were out in Week one. As a celebrity who

30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: hit the hit the skids in our league too, local

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: celebrity Randy Shaver. I wasn't good out him. I outed

32
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: him and his team. His team lost. Stefan Diggs went

33
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. Four Nett went to the waiver wire.

34
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Foughts shown Watson went to the one of these weeks,

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: get DeShawn Watson's name right, How are you try? It's

36
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: at least he keeps with Texans like DeAndre and and

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: that is generally true. It was thrilling, and I agonized

38
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: about how much to bid on four net because he's

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: he fits directly into my strategy, So a thousand dollar fab.

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I have a thousand dollar fab to spend all year long.

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I put in six hundred twenty of it on four

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Net knowing that I might not even get him this week.

43
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: I could get bounced out this week because my running

44
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: backs aren't that good and I just picked up four

45
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Net and I'm very nervous about starting him this week.

46
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: As you'll hear more about later, I could end up losing,

47
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: and for Net could get the waiver wire twice in

48
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: two weeks. Maybe for Net's the cursed child. Maybe it's

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna work that every every team that gets him so

50
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: much cut. I just I haven't been this sort of

51
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: re energized about fantasy football, and I am I always

52
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: love it, but it's just this is just so new

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: and cool and different. I'm just I love it. And

54
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: all these people tweeting at me about you know, who

55
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: got knocked out of there, who got knocked out, what

56
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: players got knocked out of their leagues, and how much

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: their bidding is and everything. Had several people asking, are

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you guys gonna write an article on what I should

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: bid on Todd Gurley, and well, no, because we have

60
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: to write an article literally on every player in the

61
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: entire NFL. It's exactly exactly. Um. I want to be

Speaker 1: be part of our winners banquet at man He's in January.

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the matchups, beginning with the Browns taking

72
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: on the Saints. Scott, I've got to believe that the

73
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Saints defense plays a lot closer to the group that

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: we saw for seventeen games last year than the group

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: that got obliterated by stew Beard last week. It has

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: to write that's the complete anomaly. It's like they were

77
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: still in preseason form or something. On the Browns passing

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: game side, I'm gonna talk about Tyrod Taylor in the

79
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: next segments, so I'm just gonna skip over him for

80
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: a second here, okay, Uh, Jarvis Landry, I'm giving him

81
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: an A grade. He had fifteen targets last week, fifteen,

82
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about in the preseason how much they

83
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: were targeting him. I don't. I think he's pretty matchup proof,

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm just giving an A grade and moving on.

85
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: But where those fifteen? Who does that? Who gets impacted

86
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: by him getting fifteen? It could be Gordon at four targets.

87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: He only had four targets, but one was an end

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: zone target, and I think without the winds a sweet

89
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: catch by the way you see it was. It was

90
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: without the wind in a dome. I like Gordon a

91
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: little bit better, even though he might get some Marsha

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: on l Adamer treatment for some of the game. I

93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: think he played sixty nine snaps last week after they

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: wanted to put him on a pitch account, which did

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: not happen. But I still give Gordon a B grade.

96
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: I think he's primed for a big touchdown at some

97
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: point during this game, potentially, and I think that could

98
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: save his day. Najoku, on the other hand, I'm benching

99
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: uh seven targets last week did not do much Brighton

100
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Howard didn't do much against the Saints last year. Saints

101
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: we're top five against tight ends last year, only allowing

102
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: two tight ends over fifty yards. I'm just benching a Joku.

103
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: I'm benching Duke Johnson again. I correctly called that last week.

104
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: I still think he's a bench this week, mostly because

105
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: the well, the Saints are middle of the pack against

106
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: against pass catching running backs. But I think the game

107
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: script is going to go away from this and the

108
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Hide can catch, and they gave Hide twenty three touches.

109
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: I think Duke Johnson's involvement is his snap percentage is

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: just not where I want to see it. He did

111
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: have six targets, but it just wasn't able to do

112
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: anything with him Carlos Hyde. That's why I'm giving him

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: a C grade. I actually don't like the matchup here.

114
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: The Saints were middle of the pack against running backs

115
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: in men many categories, but they had a top five

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: showing against running backs in Week one. Maybe that's Barber,

117
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: but the twenty three touches that Hide gets, I don't

118
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: know that he gets that this week. But they want

119
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: to give him volume. I think he's startable because of

120
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: that volume. Hide on the average one two and a

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: half yards per carry last week. Right, but he does

122
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: get all the red zone carries to he was top

123
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: should be built for it. Yeah, exactly, I believe he

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: only had three touches last week. Uh. And yeah, Hyde

125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: was top five in the NFL in in carry touches

126
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: inside the five last year. On the On the same side,

127
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Breeze is an easy a for me here, Uh, look

128
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh was Ben Roethlisberger was able to put up

129
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: three thirty five and a few touchdowns last week. Uh.

130
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: The Browns were sixth worst against fantasy quarterbacks last year.

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: UM and against bottom seven past defenses. Breeze average three

132
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty four yards per game last year. So right like that,

133
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: like his guy Michael Thomas who had eight for ninety

134
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: yards in each half last symmetrical perfection there. Uh and

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Juju and Brown crushed the Browns last week. A for Thomas,

136
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm only given again a ce He's coming in possibly injured.

137
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Uh he should play though. Uh Cleveland mill of the

138
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: pack against wide receivers last week last year, but we

139
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: saw Juju and Brown do it, so I think is startable.

140
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: Watson is where first off, Camara obvious, A obvious. Yeah,

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: just move on, Ben Watson, love it. It's I told

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: you to prespect pick him up for this matchup. Last week,

143
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Browns were bottom four against tight ends last year. They've

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: allowed twelve different tight ends to score six or to

145
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: score or top sixty yards in the last seventeen games.

146
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Jesse James had sixty yards on the Browns last week

147
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: exactly exactly so their bottom three in receptions and touchdowns

148
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: allowed to tight ends last year. I actually have Watson

149
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: as weirdly an A grade allow A, but I think

150
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I think he finishes the week as a top twelve

151
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: tight end. Wow, ye, I don't. Top twelve doesn't necessarily

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: mean an A. That just me it's a starting grade

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: that could be a C is still starting great. Ben

154
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: Watson qualifies for take a chance on me? Really and

155
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: you're getting and you didn't use him? No, but you'd

156
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. Yeah, I didn't need to. I think Ben

157
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Watson top sixty yards and I'm I'm fairly certain I

158
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: would almost bet on him getting a score to Panthers

159
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: take on the Falcons, Matt, I'm nervous about the Panthers

160
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: missing three starting offensive lineman one one on I are

161
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: in the preseason mac Little Netherland, when I I are

162
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: this week and another player is not gonna go, oh,

163
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: what do you think about Carolina? Yeah, Darryl Williams and

164
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Trey Turner are the other guys that are out this week,

165
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: as is Greg Olsen, who occasionally stayed into block. He's

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: out for a long period of time, maybe the season,

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: maybe a career. However, that kind of bodes well for

168
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey averaged eight point three targets, six receptions,

169
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: and forty five receiving yards, along with three receiving touchdowns

170
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: in the eight games that Greg Olsen missed last year,

171
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: so I'm giving him a B grade. Despite promising that

172
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: he'd see twenty to thirty touches from north of Turner

173
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: and Ron Rivera, CMC only had ten carries last week,

174
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: which is just his fourth career game in which he

175
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: received double digit carries in a game. Both Cam Newton

176
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: and Alex Arma Vulture to touch down from him. The

177
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns are going to be really murky for Christian McCaffrey

178
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: this year, especially with C. J. Anderson there and Cam

179
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Newton running still. Atlanta's offense has allowed the most running

180
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: back receptions in each of the last two years. That's

181
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: why he's a would be this week uh C J.

182
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Anderson's on the bench. All he's doing is ruining McCaffrey's value.

183
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: Uh Cam Newton, he gets a C grade. He's not

184
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: topped two hundred passing yards against the Falcons in five

185
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: straight games, but he did average eight rushing attempts and

186
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: fifty two rushing yards in those five games, along with

187
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: two rushing scores, so he's going to be active in

188
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: the run game here. The only other guy on the

189
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: Panthers side that's worth a look is Devin Funcius, who

190
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: I gave us see uh. Funcius and jerryus right former Viking,

191
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: each had five targets last season or last week U

192
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: D J. Moore of the rookie didn't see one. And

193
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: it's worth noting in the last five games that Olson

194
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: missed last season, Devin Funch just averaged eighty one yards

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: and scored in four of those five games, So that's

196
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: pretty good stuff. I t I think he's better than

197
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a C grade, and especially with Kian O'Neil out in

198
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: the in the secondary for the Falcons. Yeah, I like

199
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: funchs more than you do. Okay, Julio Jones gets the

200
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: obvious A grade. Remember last years Carolina twelve catches, three

201
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards and one touchdown in that one game in Atlanta.

202
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: The notable thing, though, Matt Ryan has completed only one

203
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: of his last twenty targets to Julio Jones in the

204
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: end zone. Wow, only man, you know hard it is

205
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: to miss Julio Jones nineteen of twenty times in the

206
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: end zone. He's done it, that's not so that's why.

207
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: That's why Julio is not getting touchdowns. That's why he

208
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten touchdowns in years. Matt Ryan can't target him

209
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: well in the end zone. So is it play calling? Though?

210
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: It might be he might be getting sarks And yeah,

211
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that that's the case. The

212
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: rest of the passing game is on the bench. Sanew,

213
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, Austin Hooper six two and four targets respectively.

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: As a Falcon, Sanu has topped fifty six yards only

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: once in four tries against Carolina, and Hooper hasn't topped

216
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: fifty yards in over a year. Matt Ryan also on

217
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: the bench. Point, Yeah, he's on the bench. Matt Ryan.

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: So let me get to stray super bench. A quarterback

219
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: who in his last two years of matchups with Carolina,

220
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: last two years of matchups, so four matchups, his average

221
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: game three hundred fifty three yards and two and a

222
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: half touchdowns. And I'm putting him on there, putting Matt

223
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Ryan on the bench, the bold call, Cotton. Let's see

224
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: how this pays off. Forty eight point eight completion percentage

225
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: last week, the worst he's had since two thousand eleven.

226
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: Who was playing Eagles again, I'd say, yeah, I keephim

227
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: on the bench too. Plus, I don't know about you, chart,

228
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: but I tend to like touchdowns from my quarterbacks, So

229
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: I'd take two and a half. Would he averages against

230
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: this opponent over the last two years. Do you know

231
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: what he's done in the last ten games? Tell me

232
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: he's never once in ten games, had two touchdown passes

233
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: one zero in ten straight games. And I like Matt

234
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Ryan's bad. It's possible Matt Ryan's bad. I don't know that.

235
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's bad. I don't I don't necessarily

236
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: do that. I don't necessarily The last guy I'll mentioned,

237
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, he's a b teetering on an a because

238
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman's out with a knee injury this week and

239
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis is missing from the Panthers linebacking corps. Carolina

240
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: allowed four point seven yards per carried to the Dallas

241
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: Backs last week. Coleman had at least fifteen touches in

242
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: a game four times last year. He scored in three

243
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: of those four games, and the other one he had

244
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: a hundred and four total yards. So I like Tevin

245
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Coleman getting fifteen to twenty touches this week and probably

246
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: being pretty successful with him. I've got Tevin Coleman way

247
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: up at running back number thirteen this week at a

248
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: grade territory for me, and I think he's you absolutely stardom.

249
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: When when one of the one or the others out

250
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: for the Falcons, the guy who's in usually does very

251
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: very well. Absolutely all right, when we come back, take

252
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Nine players upon whom you can

253
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: take a chance, find out who they are, and we

254
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: come back. Your neighbor hung a green and gold flag

255
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: on their porch, which is unacceptable to any Minnesota Vikings fan.

256
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: So what do you do? You by the tallest flag

257
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: poll allowed by the f a A and the largest

258
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: Vikings flag to go with it. Because you won big

259
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: playing the new Viking scratch games from the Minnesota Lottery

260
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: and with a top prize of up to one thousand dollars.

261
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: How you spend your winnings is up to you. Yes,

262
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: it pays to be a fan Minnesota wattery. I'm in

263
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: must be eighteen year older to play this. Sound like

264
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: take a chance on me? Number one on the c D. Yeah,

265
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm dancing. I never want to see that again. Matt

266
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: dancing in the studio. Well, okay, it's weak too, so

267
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: that means we should technically be playing track too. Let's

268
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: try track two. If this doesn't, If this take a

269
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: chance and mann't target all I need words words words,

270
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: stop back on Thursday tweeting about that. There we go this,

271
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: just take this. I can at least recognize this. Take

272
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: a chance. Nine players not normally in the starting lineup,

273
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: many of whom are available on the waber wire. Will

274
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: we get at Quarterback Nation? And Scott I teased it

275
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: last segment Tyrod Taylor. Throughout his career. Before this season,

276
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Tyrode had averaged five rushes for just under forty yards

277
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: per game. That's a great safe four to go with

278
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: his two yards in the touchdowny averages. He had seventy

279
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: seven yards rushing last week ninth month. That would have

280
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: been ninth among running backs last week. The Saints allowed

281
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: thirty six yards and a touchdown to Stu Beard last

282
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: year or last week, and six different quarterbacks to score

283
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: or surpass thirty years thirty yards rushing last week or

284
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: last year. I love him for his rushing floor this week.

285
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: All right, Matt que the peacock because I'm going back

286
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: to the well and might take a chance on me

287
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: quarterback last week. It's a preamptive. It's a praamptive peacock.

288
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: I gotta see here. Can we do that? Because I'll

289
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: just take Kenny Stills every week? Then wow, case Keenum,

290
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: he just might take a chance on me quarterback last week.

291
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Through the first half, it wasn't looking good, but then

292
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: he ended up with three three yards and three touchdown

293
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: passes against this against the Seahawks this week against the

294
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, who do not have Khalil Mack on roster anymore,

295
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: and that pass rush really didn't show up. Against the Rams,

296
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the only recorded two hits on Jared on Jared Goff

297
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: last week. So it's gonna be a clean pocket for Keenum,

298
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: who was one of the best in the league last

299
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: year when he had a clean pocket. He should go

300
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: relatively unscathed in this game. He's gonna put up another

301
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: three hundred and three market down, all right, three three?

302
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: I like your like you're making your call here. Nick

303
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: Foles looked bad in the preseason, he looked bad in

304
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Week one. It all comes together against Tampa Bay. Unless

305
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: Brent Grimes makes a remarkable return from his groin injury.

306
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: The Bucks are gonna be starting re backups at cornerback.

307
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: Their number one, number two, and number three cornerbacks are

308
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: all out. They're gonna be starting Ryan Smith, M. J. Stewart,

309
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: and Carlton Davis as their starting cornerback. Everybody in our

310
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: listening audience knows somebody they break Smith Ryan Smith. I

311
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: don't think, but maybe it is a very generic name.

312
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Uh falls started two road games over the last couple

313
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: of seasons and excellent both averaging are sorry, totally foundered

314
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: sixty yards and six touchdowns. You know, if you consider

315
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl road game and it was at least

316
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: a neutral game, then those numbers get even higher. It's

317
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: a great matchup against a terrible buck secondary that let

318
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Drew Brees eviscerate them last week. Nick Foles, let's go

319
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: to the running back position. I'm sticking on the same

320
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: team with Corey Clement. Darren Spoils is out this week,

321
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: and his touches have to go somewhere, and the Eagles

322
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: consistently give their running backs about thirty touches. They don't

323
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: seem to want to give a G. I am more

324
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: than fifteen. Where those gonna go? I think Corey Clement

325
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: has has a decent game. He had five carries inside

326
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: the from the five yard line and in after a

327
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: G I got there last year, a G I got

328
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: the one last week. But I think there might be

329
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: opportunity there as well. All right, I'm sticking with the

330
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: same team as my quarterback as well. I'm going with

331
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, who burst onto the scene out of nowhere.

332
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: So Royce Freeman is the big back. He's six o

333
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: two thirty. He didn't record a target in that game.

334
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is hatcher. He's five s. He's very sprolesy

335
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: and with heads in. Lindsay had three targets. That's not

336
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: a lot, but he got two catches at thirty one

337
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown in the air. He also was

338
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: on the field for thirty five percent of the snaps,

339
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: where Royce Freeman only on the field for thirty percent

340
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: of the snaps. They both mirrored each other with fifteen

341
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: carries for seventy one yards, so he was Denver's top

342
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: running back scorer in Week one. He's facing an Oakland

343
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: defense this week who allowed five catches fifty seven yards

344
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: and one touchdown. Two rams running backs just through the

345
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: air last week. Austin Ekeler is my take a chance.

346
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's our music. Thank you, Tony Well, that's

347
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: it's not just the CD player that hates you. Austin Ekeler.

348
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Shots fired. Austin Neckler has got an amazing matchup with Buffalo.

349
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: Of course, this is San Diego's backup running back. Uh.

350
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: The Bills lost by forty four points in the opener.

351
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: They took a bigger drubbing when they faced the Chargers

352
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: last year when the Chargers put up fifty four points

353
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: on Buffalo. Eckler scored in that game last year, and

354
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: this Grant game script looks just like last week's. Last week,

355
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore went to Buffalo, ran up a big score, and

356
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: then all the backup running backs got all these carries.

357
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: Same thing's gonna happen here. They're Chargers. You can score

358
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of points. And then here you know, Melvin

359
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Gordon's gonna a great game, and then here comes Eckler

360
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: and he'll be involved in the passing game throughout as well.

361
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: A great opportunity for Austin Ekeler. I got fun fact

362
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: on that he was my take a chance on me

363
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: against Buffalo last year. He had a different theory that

364
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: two backs get over double digit fantasy points on Buffalo

365
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: multiple regular Yeah, and it's gonna happen here too. Yeah. Alright,

366
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: let's go to the wide receiver slash tight end position, Scott,

367
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm going with Dante Pettis here he was. He was

368
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: a nice sneaky pick up. And if you haven't picked

369
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: him it yet, you should. The coaching staff is raving

370
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: raved in the preseason about him, is raving about how

371
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: he could have huge game with Goodwin potentially out probably

372
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: out this week, are definitely out now, I believe uh.

373
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: He showed against Minnesota with what he did. He only

374
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: had two catches, but he could have had a lot more.

375
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: He was overthrown at least on one uh sixty one

376
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. I think he's going to be

377
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: in the game a lot and get have a pretty

378
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: decent day, all right. I usually go to the tight

379
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: end market on this, yeah, because I'm the tight end

380
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: whisper self proclaimed. Um. People lost Greg Olsen, people lost

381
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker. I'm gonna pick up Delaney Walker's backup. That's

382
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: John new Smith. Houston allowed the sixth most yards and

383
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: receptions to the tight ends last position last season, the

384
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: fourth most touchdowns. They also got roasted by Gronk last

385
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: week for a hundred and twenty three yards and a touchdown.

386
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: Smith comes in as a starter now that they've lost

387
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker in Tennessee. Walker had seven targets last week,

388
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: and he averaged seven targets per game last season. And

389
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are kind of banged up well. Corey

390
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: Davis was was the only heavily involved player, but he's

391
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: got a hamstring injury this week, so we might be

392
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: dumping off to John U. Smith quite a bit this week.

393
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: Danny Amadola is owned in two percent of leagues. He

394
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: gets the Jets this week and got targeted. Amadola got

395
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: targeted six times last week in his very first game

396
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: with his new team, the Dolphins. He runs is the

397
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: important part. He runs out of the slot that matches

398
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: him up with busted screen. Door. Yeah, buster screen. This

399
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: is the same buster Screen that you saw flailing after

400
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: Golden Tate as he raced into the end zone last week.

401
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: The Lions abuse Screen to the point that they targeted

402
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: Golden Tate in the slot fifteen times because they love

403
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: that matchup with buster Screen so much. So here comes

404
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: Danny Amendola. I like Amendola, and they will get the same.

405
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not predicting fifteen targets. That might be been excessive,

406
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: but we'll take ten for Danny Amendola out of the slot.

407
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: Buster Screen came off the field injured for a second

408
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: and I thought, does it matter? He went back in.

409
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, it didn't matter. Can it get worse?

410
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Probably not. And they didn't even put a player under

411
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: replace them. They just played with ten men, all right.

412
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: That is the true definition of addition by subtraction, when

413
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: you just take somebody off the field and you don't

414
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: even replace him. Vikings take on the Packers. We'll get

415
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: we get to the Packers side, we'll talk a little

416
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: more about Aaron Rodgers and what might happen there. But

417
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: on the Viking side, I think there's a lot to

418
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: like here, and I got a lot of A and

419
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: B grades. A grades for Adam Feeling and Stefan Diggs.

420
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: Theeling we'll go up against slot cornerback, rookie slot cornerback

421
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: j Alexander getting just his set in the NFL start.

422
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: That is a massive advantage for Adam Feeling. Um. Really,

423
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: Alexander wasn't even tested in the opener. They only threw

424
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: to their slot. Bears only through to their slot receiver

425
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller three times in that game. Uh. Theeeland terrific

426
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: matchup Stefan Diggs great chemistry with Cousins in the preseason.

427
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: It continued into Week one with a fantastic touchdown. Digs

428
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: is a favorable matchup with Kevin kan who really struggled

429
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: against the bears tepid receivers, none of which none of

430
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: them are nearly as good as des digs is. Kirk

431
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: Cousins gets a B grade. Um. Yeah, While with the Redskins.

432
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: He faced the Packers twice, put up seven hundred four

433
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns, didn't throw an interception. Great track

434
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: record while with the Redskins against these Packers. And this

435
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: the Packers rebuilt secondary that look capable against Mitch Trobiski.

436
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: But that's not even close to what's coming here with

437
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: Cousins and Diggs and theland b grade for him, and

438
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: staying with the passing game, Kyle Rudolph has locked more

439
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: receiving yards against the Packers than any team in his career,

440
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: but in five Green Bay games, his average games just

441
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, three receptions and zero point two touchdowns.

442
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: I got a step for you too. In games where

443
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: Cook digs and theel and pay Rudolph only averages three

444
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: point four targets. Odd man out how about that. Dalvin

445
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Cooked looked and it's still would be grade on him

446
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: for for touchdown prospects here at the linebacking group for

447
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: for Green Bay is in a certain amount of disarray.

448
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: So I still like him here, and but I don't

449
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get a lot of volume. We're hoping

450
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Dalvin Cook looked awesome when he wasn't

451
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: getting smothered behind the line of scrimmage on runs. In

452
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: the passing game in particular, he was amazing with his

453
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: elusiveness and how many he forced countless mis tackles, and

454
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I like him here a lot. The Packers allowed the

455
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: Bears running back tannam of Howard and Cohen to run

456
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: for over five yards per carry. I think there's an

457
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: excellent chance that would get Dalvin Cook does the same

458
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: thing here. Also, Howard and Cohen combined for eight catches

459
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: in Week one. Cook logged with ten uh ten missed tackles,

460
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: which is just amazing. Yeah, broken tackles. He's he's fantastic.

461
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Green Bay Packers. We're gonna

462
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: assume Aaron Rodgers is gonna play. Yeah that they're probably

463
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Yes, we're gonna assume for our purposes here

464
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: he's going to play, but he will not have his

465
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: usual mobility, which really does take a lot off the

466
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: table for him. He's as deadly as a court of

467
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback. There's ever been history of the NFL running

468
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: passing on the run. I don't think that's gonna happen

469
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: as much here. Instead, you are going to get with

470
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: limited mobility, a lot of short passes. The Vikings are

471
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna know mostly that that's coming, and I think this

472
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be a certain amount of frustration here if um,

473
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: if he's confined to the pocket, Vikings defensive line just

474
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: pins their ears back and they're they're planning to get

475
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: to a spot on the field, which you can't normally

476
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: do with Rogers. It could be Uh, it could be

477
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: a tough day for him. I don't think there's a

478
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: game and tee that I'm not I'm not predicting he

479
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: doesn't finish the game, but I think you should be

480
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: aware there's a chance that Aaron Rodgers does not finish

481
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: the game. I'm giving him a B grade out of

482
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: respect to his ability, and anything could happen. Nobody would

483
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: be surprised. It would be just like Aaron Rodgers to

484
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: come out of this with four touchdowns. Um, But there's

485
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: so many things working against him that you don't normally see.

486
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: I think you should show caution. Davante Adams got a

487
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, but probably plays through that. He's gonna draw

488
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes. It's physical, physical receiver versus physical cornerback. They

489
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: got to get rid of the ball quickly. That's going

490
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: to reduce yards after catch. For Davante Adams, I'm I'm

491
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: nervous about him as well. I'm giving him a cautious

492
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: B grade here. Randall Cobbs got the most fascinating matchup

493
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: of the receivers though, because he will working out of

494
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: the slot. Get first round rookie Mike Hughes. I thought

495
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: he was played pretty well last week. Not not great,

496
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: but well enough. Still advantage Cobb, who's obviously a season

497
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: veteran and had a huge game on Sunday night. Geronimo

498
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: Allison has got is there straight line speed guy. He

499
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: gets the Vikings straight line speed guy Trey Waynes for

500
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: much of this matchup. Um Wayne's is an all a

501
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: nothing guy. I think given all the issues that Rogers

502
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: may have holding the ball for more than two seconds,

503
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the downfield passing comes along. I've got

504
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: a bench grade on Geronimo Allison and then rounding out

505
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: the passing game, Jimmy Graham just two catches in the opener,

506
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: targeted just four times. You're looking for touchdowns here, but

507
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings don't generally give up a ton of touchdowns.

508
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: All that said, George Kettle was on his way to

509
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: a monster game and he's still at ninety yards. Could

510
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: have been a hundred fifty yards in a touchdown if

511
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: just a couple of things would have clicked. Still, um,

512
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham feels doesn't feel like a particularly safe play,

513
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: and I've got him as a C grade here, and

514
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: I think they might want to use them to help block. Lastly,

515
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: the running game C grade on Jamal Williams. Vikings held

516
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco Runners to just three point six yards per carrying.

517
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: That's what they allowed on average last year as well,

518
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: just three point six yards per carry. Williams uh started

519
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: the Week six team matchup against the Vikings just fifty

520
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: eight yards and three point nine yards per carry. So

521
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: it's just there's nothing to like here. Vikings only a

522
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: lot five runners to score rushing touchdowns last year. If

523
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: it comes out late on Sunday that Deshaun Kaiser is starting, yeah,

524
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: all Packers are on the bench, right. I would still

525
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: start Davante Adams in most leagues, probably down to a

526
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: flex level. That's it. Everybody else to me is on

527
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: the bench. Deshan, that's I think it's I think it

528
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: comes down to that if it turns out it's a

529
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser game, you know, And it's not that Kaiser

530
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: is completely non functional, but he's not Aaron Rodgers, and

531
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense is awfully good, and I think would

532
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: feast on him. So yeah, I think at that point

533
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: that's that's the only that's the only play left. Let's

534
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, Chargers taking on

549
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: like every Charger, Yeah Dan in this one. Yeah, well

550
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: obviously Eler was your take coom in the last bit me,

551
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I like that. Nice nice oh Man. Natron

552
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: means getting in there. Okay. So Melvin Gordon's and obvious A.

553
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: He led the team in targets last week, so and

554
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: they want to get him in the receiving game. If

555
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: that continues, He's gonna be an A all year. Keenan

556
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: Allen's an obvious A. Uh. Rivers also an A grade

557
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: for me with with a game like this that's set

558
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: for a blowout, you always have to remember how did

559
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: they get to that blowout? Like how did they get

560
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: all these points that it was a blowout? So I

561
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: think Rivers and Gordon on Alan all those guys get

562
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: a ton of points early on. Mike Williams starting uh

563
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: second wide receiver and targets last week. I have him.

564
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: I have him as a B grade here. Uh, it

565
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: could be, and that's mostly because Benjamin is likely out.

566
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: If Benjamin plays, I think that takes away from ty

567
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Ty Williams more. But currently I have Ty Williams with

568
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: a C grade there. He scored a touchdown last week

569
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: because deep sleeper and this one he is, he really is.

570
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: But if Benjamin plays, I'm a little worried about both

571
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. But for now, a C grade and

572
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm benching all bills McCoys play Harry's. I'm just bending

573
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: all the bills gros. That's easy, al right, I love it.

574
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: Start everybody, start, every viable charge, ready to go to gates.

575
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: Yet no snaps two point conversion. That's a last week maybe, yeah, yeah,

576
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: that's it. Texans at the Titans Matt On the Texans side,

577
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line couldn't have looked worse. They lost the

578
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: right tackle for the year. This is um. This is

579
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: a Texans offense that I think is going to be

580
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 1: a little more inconsistent than people think. But this matchup

581
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: could be promising. What do you think? Yeah, they did

582
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: lose uh former Minnesota guy Sean Trelle Henderson. He was

583
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: the right tackle for the season. That makes things slightly worse. Um.

584
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: According to Evan Silva, Deshaun Watson faced pressure on fifty

585
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: percent of his dropbacks last week against the Patriots. The

586
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: Patriots pass rush and seen was horrible. He was hit

587
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: twelve times and sacked three times. That's not good. Still,

588
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: there's so much potential. I give him a bench grade.

589
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: He toasted the Titans defense last year for two three

590
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns through the air, and oh, by

591
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: the way, I added on a rushing score as well.

592
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: So I'm still giving him a B grade in this game.

593
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: And but it's high risk, high reward for sure. Uh

594
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins gets the easy A. Not ready to go

595
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: for Will Fuller, yet they say he's going to play.

596
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: He's on my bench still, though. I want to wait

597
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: and see how the hamstring shakes out for an entire

598
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: week and see that he's healthy before I put him

599
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: in my starting lineup. Lamar Miller the last Texan we

600
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: gotta mention. He hit the twenty kerry mark in Week one.

601
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: He only did that twice in and he's had two

602
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: positive games against Tennessee last year hundred and thirty one,

603
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one total yards and two scores in

604
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: the first meeting, nine four yards on nineteen touches in

605
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: the second, and the Titans allowed four point seven yards

606
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: per carry to the Dolphins running backs last week. On

607
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the Titan side, it's gross. Marcus Mariota's on the bench

608
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: because he injured his elbow late in that six hour

609
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: game last week. He lost Delaney Walker for the season.

610
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: Both his tackle and his left tackle are not going

611
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: to play, and Pro Football Talk Record reported that Blame

612
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Gabbert is also going to take snaps in this game.

613
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I think that elbow is worse than their ou let on.

614
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: It might be a Blame Gabbett game. Overall. Corey Davis,

615
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: he's getting a C grade. He got thirteen targets last week,

616
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: including three in the red zone, but he's limited by

617
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He's the only wide receiver that you

618
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: can start the outside of Davis. All other wide receivers

619
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: on the Titans totaled four targets combined, and Jonah Smith

620
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on the tight end. He

621
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: might be the only other guy in the receiving game

622
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: and play besides Dion Lewis. I think Lewis ends up

623
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: being the biggest beneficiary of the Walker injury this year.

624
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: He had eight targets last week, five catches for thirty

625
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: five yards through the air. You add in his sixteen

626
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: carries and seventy five yards in a score on the ground.

627
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: He looked really good, Derrick Henry. I'm giving him a

628
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: C grade. Henry had a rushing stat line of ten

629
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: carries for twenty six yards last week. That sucks. Yes,

630
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: that does suck. It does not include a sick st

631
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown run that was called back for a

632
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: phantom holding call where Delaney Walker's palms were to the sky.

633
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: I saw that, and he's getting face masked by the

634
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: Miami defender and they called it back as a holding

635
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: call on Delaney Walker. If you add in that run,

636
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: he finishes and a touchdown, and so that's okay. It's

637
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: a little bit like se Kwon Barkley's day that got

638
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: salvaged by one good run. So, with Mariotta injured in

639
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: the possibility to Gabbart, I imagine the Titans are just

640
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: going to attempt to keep the ball in the ground

641
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: as much as possible. So I think it's both viable

642
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: for Henry and Lewis to play, but at low levels.

643
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: For both levels. I don't like. I don't like it

644
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: an injured quarterback. I don't like not having my starting tackles.

645
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: I I what's bad for the offense is bad for

646
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: the offense. They're my number thirty six and thirty nine

647
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: running backs. Let's go to the Colts and the Washington

648
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: at Redskins. Hey, that's me. I gotta believe the plan

649
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: was not to give Andrew Luck fifty three passes in

650
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: the opener. You should drop that guy, totally drop that guy. Yeah,

651
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: we should drop that guy. Uh yeah. They can't keep

652
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: that pace up. And I gotta believe they're gonna make

653
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: every effort to dial it back here, and particularly if

654
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack returns. But he could throw twenty less passes

655
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: and he'd still be sitting on a thirty three pass outing,

656
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: which wouldn't be all bad. Redskins dominated Sam Bradford last week.

657
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: Lux got a better offensive line and he's just playing

658
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: better than Sam Bradford. So I think he finds some

659
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: success here. But I've only got a C grade on him. Um.

660
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: I still my feeling is the shoulder is still not

661
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: close to um. But the fact they let him throw

662
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: fifty three times is probably a good sign. Uh t

663
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: Y Hilton A grade and maybe an obvious A grade

664
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: at that target at eleven times in Week one. That

665
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: only happened once all last season with Jacoby Brissette, so

666
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: obviously having Luck back helps hint Hilton a lot. He

667
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: will match up a lot with Josh Norman, but Josh

668
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: Norman is not a shutdown cornerback anymore. That's just a

669
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: neutral matchup right there. And he also plays from all

670
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: over the field. That means he will periodically match up

671
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: against possibly the starting cornerback in the league, Fabian Moreau.

672
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: Don't blame yourself if you don't know Fabian Moreau. He

673
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: and Buster screen one A and one B for worst

674
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: starting slock cornerbacks in the NFL. And that brings us

675
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: to one of my favorite sneaky plays of the week,

676
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant in a revenge game for Ryan Grant targeted

677
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: nine times last week nine times, nine times. He caught

678
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: eight of the nine passes. That's going to earn him

679
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: some additional confidence from Luck, I I feel certain. And

680
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: he also plays from all over the field, so he

681
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: too will periodically get Fabian Moreau or their other pedestrian cornerback,

682
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: Quentin Dunbar. So I like Ryan Grant is a sneaky

683
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: play here. I'm keeping both Doyle and Ebron on the

684
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: bench in part because they split work, and I don't

685
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: like that part of it. The Redskins were susceptible to

686
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: Titans last year, but they only gave up nineteen tight

687
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: end yards last week. And I'm keeping all the Indianapolis

688
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: runners on the bench as well. Marlon mac comes back,

689
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: but then how much work does he get. Jordan's Wilkins

690
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: will be in the mix to some degree, but how

691
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: much work will he get? Nihiim hines will he continue

692
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: catching passes when Marlon Mack comes back, as he can

693
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: catch passes too. I'm just gonna let this thing shake out.

694
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: And of course, Washington dominated David Johnson last week. Who's

695
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: better than all three of those losers combined. Let's go

696
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: to the Washington side of this game. Alex Smith was

697
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: awesome last week and he could be even better this week's.

698
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: He faces an easier secondary and it's his second game

699
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: in this new offense. He finished uh sorry, Colts finished

700
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: twenty seven and passing yards allowed last year, and then

701
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was very good against them last week as well.

702
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: Alex Smith's got better receivers with plus matchups all over

703
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: the place. I think Alex Smith is an A grade

704
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hesitate to start him here. Hey, I think

705
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: he might end up being one of the guys I

706
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: whipped on the worst in my preseason rankings. I thought

707
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: he would take a step back, leaving Andy Reid and

708
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. And if one week one

709
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: is any indication Alex Smith is gonna be just fine,

710
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: let's go to his receivers. James Crowder gets a B

711
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: grade here. He was only targeted four times last week,

712
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: but that will change. Paul Richardson is dinged up. He

713
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: may not play, although I think he will, and Crowder

714
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: draws an easy matchup with Indianapolis cornerback Kenny Moore the second.

715
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: I think Kenny Moore the first or Kenny Moore the

716
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: third could be better than Kenny Moore a second baby

717
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Kennymore mre Yeah, imagine the age on kennymore the first

718
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: play in the NFL exactly. You know he could be

719
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: sixty out there? Uh, Jordan Reed was. It was very

720
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: good in the opener, and I think he's sitting on

721
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: a nice one here as well. The almost an ideal matchup.

722
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: Indianapolis allowed a tight end touchdown in half of their

723
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: games last year. He is an A grade at the

724
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: tight end position. And then lastly, Paul Richardson, if he

725
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: goes with the shoulder, you could try a flyer on

726
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: him too. Frankly, I led the team in targets last week,

727
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: and Richardson faces one of the worst starting cornerbacks in

728
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: the NFL. Pierre de Seer. Lastly, I think you're making

729
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: up some of these I know it's these guys think

730
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: and well, every time I keep mentioning a cor back

731
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: like well, that guy's terrible, that guy is terrible. That

732
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: guy's didn't only bring up the worst than everybody. Maybe

733
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, when you're playing Indianapolis, that's gonna happen.

734
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running backs. Chris Thompson awesome opening game.

735
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: We loved him all preseason. He shined in the opener

736
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: hud total yards and a touchdown, raised his career rushing

737
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: average to five point four yards per carry. Last week

738
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: against the same Indianapolis Colds team, Joe Mixon five catches,

739
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: fifty four yards. I think that's the bottom end for

740
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson. Here, Adrian Peterson coming off a very nice game.

741
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: Last year, no team faced more rushing plays than Indianapolis defense,

742
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: and Adrian's all about volume. Baby. If he gets his

743
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: carries eventually, good things happen. Um he got twenty six

744
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: carries last week, he looked sharp, scored a touchdown. I

745
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 1: think that's the same kind of prospect here, b grade

746
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Let's take a break when we come back.

747
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: Three hot questions. We're down from five because don't have

748
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: any bye weeks. We got a lot of matchups to

749
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: work through. It makes it easier for you to go on.

750
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: And didn't help my didn't help my COEs last week,

751
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: and neither of them did. But maybe that's how I

752
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: remember dropped Andrew luck is that none of them. I

753
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: have not been proved I have not been proven wrong yet.

754
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: This is Fantasy Football Weekly, presided by Devans on the Man,

755
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: tip of the hat to anybody playing high school fantasy football,

756
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: and had players from the Buffalo Elk River game. The

757
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: two teams combined for one hundred fifty points wins eighty

758
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: to seventy. Buffalo scored seventy points and lost the game.

759
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo head coach former Viking quarterback Todd Bowman Todd Boman

760
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: is still in town. Hi, Todd, sorry that you lost.

761
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: You scored to your team scored seventy points and lost.

762
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: That is crazy. Was Todd the quarterback? I mean maybe

763
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: that's part of why. Maybe they had a pro caliber quarterback.

764
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: Todd Bowman had some good moments for the Vikings back

765
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: in the day. Yeah. Probably. I remember at one point

766
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: there was you know, there was there were some people

767
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: in town that really wanted Todd to be get an opportunity,

768
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: the long term starter. It was St. Cloud State alone. Absolutely,

769
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: all right, let's uh, let's fire up our three hot questions.

770
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: Hot question number one. Should we just drop Doug Baldwin

771
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: now Scott? Uh No, He's played hurt many many times

772
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: in his career. This is his first missed game in

773
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: a nine games. It might only be a couple of weeks.

774
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: If you believe Pete Sunshine, Uh, two to four weeks.

775
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: They say, what that fells? Pet Sunshine? Pete carrolls to

776
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: talk very very positive. Okay, got it? So Sunshine alright, Uh,

777
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: he's a potential league winner if someone drops him and

778
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: you can just pick him up. I would not do

779
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: that at this point. By the way, Pete Sunshine the

780
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: combination of two names from remember the Titans. There we go.

781
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: Maybe that's part of it. I don't know. To me,

782
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: it sounded like a whiskey eighty sunshine. Um. If not,

783
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: well make it. Yeah, I kind of like that. Baldwin

784
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: is gonna miss a few weeks. And the reason is

785
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: is he was going to play all season on one

786
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: injured knee, right, and then he injured the other. So

787
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: now he's got maybe a month to sit and get

788
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: two knees healthy. So if i have a bench that's

789
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: five players deep and I'm not dealing with a significant

790
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: amount of levy on Bells or Joe Mixon's where I'm

791
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to like hold some bench spots for some

792
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: guys who aren't going to play for a while. All Right,

793
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ifs. Okay, I'm gonna keep Dug balling,

794
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: and I I don't want to drop Dug Baldin. Yeah,

795
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a little bit too early, but

796
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's tempting right now because you're gonna you

797
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: drafted him with a reasonably high draft pick and you're

798
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna get nothing out of him for quite a while.

799
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: But he is by far the best receiver on a

800
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: team with an excellent quarterback in a terrible defense, that's

801
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: got to fill the scoring role left behind by Jimmy Graham.

802
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: So the opportunities ultimately will be there. But I think

803
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: we all we all think it's gonna be a very

804
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: difficult season for Doug Baldwin. I don't think there's any

805
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: chance that he's gonna be, as Scott has said, a

806
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna lead you to a championship. I think

807
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: you might get lucky and a handful of good games,

808
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna be If he's really

809
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: gonna play on one bad knee all season long, I

810
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think he's going to be a

811
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: reliable helper, but we're not quite ready to drop him yet.

812
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: Question number two, it looks like Sony Michelle will make

813
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: his NFL debut tomorrow. Are you buying low? Are you

814
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: just happy to have avoided the Patriots running backs? Matt,

815
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: as I usually like to do. I like to get

816
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a third answer to to make sure you get wrong questions,

817
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: to make sure that I get wrong, because I don't

818
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: think your option is limited to buy low now. I

819
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: think it might be a better time to buy low

820
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: around mid season because the Patriots over the last few

821
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: years have converted in the fall from a very pass

822
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: heavy offense to November December, after Thanksgiving, they become a

823
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: very run oriented offense. That's why Dion Lewis was a

824
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: top ten back last season. That's why Tom Brady's numbers

825
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: are down at the tail end of each season. So

826
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: I think Sony Michelle is the big winner at the

827
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: tail end of the season. I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna

828
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: buy him in the middle. Don't don't buy him low now,

829
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: all right, So you think his viol is actually gonna

830
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: go down, I think it's gonna drop, gonna go He's

831
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna be so bad early that you'll actually get him

832
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: cheaper later. I think that's murky in the beginning, and

833
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: I think you'll get him cheaper later. I'm buying low.

834
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: There are there are people who simply refused to have

835
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: a half. Your league simply refuses to roster any Patriots

836
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: running back because you know, people get burned on Patriots

837
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: running backs. But for me, it's all about just paying

838
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 1: the right price for the risk and reward that they offer.

839
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: So to me, I do I do not. I don't

840
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: have this like I'm never taking a Patriots running back.

841
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: Well of course I will Dean Lewis led me to

842
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: a fantasy championship in our championship game are lost, but

843
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: I made it to the championship game last year. In

844
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: my charg league, Rex Burkhead was an RB two in

845
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: the second half of last year. The year before that,

846
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: Patriots running back La Garrett Blunt led the league in touchdowns.

847
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: There there no team has scored more rushing touchdowns on

848
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots over the last five years. There is so

849
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: there's so much upside to their running backs. It's all

850
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: about how much risk they bring and what you have

851
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: to pay to get it. Right now, you have to

852
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: pay very little to get Sony Michelle the owner right now.

853
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle contemplated dropping him this week. Trust me, I

854
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: know you know they were looking at the waiver wire,

855
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: going Philip Lindsay or Sony Michelle. Philip Lindsay or Sony

856
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: Michelle right now you can pay very very little for him.

857
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: And I'd like to remind you Michelle is sick. Go

858
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: watches Georgia tape. It is bonkers and unlike Nick Chubb

859
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: who just ran through these massive gaping holes, Michelle just

860
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: just broken tackle after broken tackle after stiff farm after

861
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: just joking dudes out of their cleats, and he is

862
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: a special talent that they took in the first round

863
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: and he's practically free right now. Yeah, I agree. We

864
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: were both the kind of guys that are pants full

865
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: off talking about Sonny Michelle in the preseason. I'm buying

866
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: low because I've now heard your answer. Oh it's right

867
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: to damn it. I think Fish got right. You didn't

868
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: get it right. My apologies. I got so excited, I

869
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: got so excited to jump in hot question number. I've

870
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: done that history of five and three tough questions. I've

871
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: never skipped a dude. You're really excited. It's okay, I

872
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: was well. David Johnson finished the season as an RB one,

873
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: RB two flex level player or bench scott um. This time,

874
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you answer. Oh, man, Mat, I think

875
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: that's got a better And I don't have a great

876
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: take on this one. I think people are overreacting to

877
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: one game against the Washington in defense that looked really good.

878
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: I think he should probably finish high end r B two,

879
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: low end RB one, So this makes it a little

880
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: bit of a tough question, but I think I'm gonna

881
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: stick with RB one tail end of RB one. It's

882
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: not long until Josh Rosen takes over this team. So

883
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: you have a rookie quarterback who's going to be facing

884
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, stacked boxes for David Johnson the rest of

885
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: the season. And listen to this upcoming schedule they have

886
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: at the Rams this week, they have the Bears defense

887
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: at home. The following week Seahawks, that's not as tough

888
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: at Niners. They looked really good at Vikings. They're pretty good,

889
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: Broncos great against running backs, and then the forty Niners again,

890
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: they don't get a really awesome plus matchup until the

891
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs on on November eleven, So you're waiting until mid

892
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: November to feel really, really confident about David Johnson's matchup.

893
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: And it's it's terrible that we gotta look at matchups

894
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: for David Johnson now. And oh, by the way, in

895
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: week sixteen, he gets the Rams again in the Fantasy

896
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 1: Championship week. So if I can do it, I want

897
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: to trade David Johnson for the combo of the Pittsburgh Runners,

898
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: se Quan Melvin, Gordon, Zeke Elliott, guys who went a

899
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: little lower in ADP. I'd like to make that trade

900
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: right now for with David Johnson another note aching staff. Yeah,

901
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: and that's that new coaching staff. It's it may take

902
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: them a while to figure out how to use them

903
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: as well as Bruce Arians did. Bruce Arians an offensive coach.

904
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: H R B two is the correct answer. And the

905
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: only other thing. You did a great job with this one, Matt.

906
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that I'll add to this the offensive

907
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: line woes so real. The offensive line for the Cardinals

908
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: generated by far the fewest yards before contact of any

909
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: offensive line in the NFL through Week one. Get this

910
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: one point two yards before contact. That's it. Terrible offensive line.

911
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: We talked about it in the preseason. That was always

912
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: the worry for him, and it all, it all came

913
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: to fruition in Week one, and I don't think it's

914
00:48:55,080 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: going to get better on a regular basis. I want

915
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: to mention the winner of our Crush Charts challenge from

916
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: week one. It is and Wickstrom, who will be joining

917
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: me at Manny's for the winner's banquet and her shot

918
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: at the two thousand dollar grand prize. You can play along.

919
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: You could be this week's an Wickstrom. Actually, she could

920
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: win again and she'd have two entries into the drawing

921
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the year for the two thousand dollars,

922
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: but don't let her go play for free at graham

923
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: belt dot com. Also of note, Twitter follower Dave Barton says,

924
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: Todd Bomban's son Aiden is the starting quarterback for Buffalo,

925
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: who threw eight touchdowns in the game and he lost. Man,

926
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: that's one unbelievable. Let's go back to the matchups. Dolphins

927
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: taking on the Jets. Scott Ryan Tannehill was shockingly competent

928
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: and Kenny Stills looks like an emerging potential superstar candidate

929
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. What do you think as they take

930
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: on the Jets's a are I only don't. I don't

931
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: have too many startable guys here, but I did give

932
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: Tannehill c not only did he look competent, and I

933
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: know the Jets made Stafford look look terrible, but I

934
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: think I think the Jets are pretty middle of the

935
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: road last year in most categories. I think he can

936
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: be okay here. Mostly I like Stills as an A grade. Uh.

937
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: Jets were bottom ten against wide receivers last year. Stills

938
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: in his last game against them six catches eighty five yards,

939
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: two touched, two touchdowns and he did that being targeted

940
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: nine times. There it is, and the coaching staff wanted

941
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: to wants to get more targets underneath. I think he's

942
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot more than five targets in this one.

943
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: Ammendola was your take. Com I just starting grade on

944
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: him as well. I'm betting everyone else, especially with Parker

945
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: coming back. I don't think jackiem the Dreams sees seven

946
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: targets against so uh Kenyan Drake. I actually gave a

947
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: B grade two in in his games. He's had seventeen

948
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: or more touches in all but one of his starting games.

949
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: He played seventy percent of the snaps. Gore only played

950
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: nine percent of snaps. He made them count. He did

951
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: six yards to carry, but I don't know that he's

952
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: going to do that consistently this year, at this point

953
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: in his career. I love the volume for Drake. I'm

954
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: giving him a B grade over to the Jets side.

955
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said it Tannehill, I gave

956
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: a C grade to over to the Jet side. I'm

957
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: benching almost every I'm benching almost all of the passing game.

958
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: Donald only had twenty one attempts and he didn't top

959
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. That'll go that'll go up. I mean

960
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: he completed most of right, ye, se, I do have

961
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: a bench scoring him. I just want to see it.

962
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: I know it'll go up because the six amongst sixteen

963
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: game starters last year, Jacoby Brissette was the lowest, averaging

964
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine attempts a game. So it will go up. Well,

965
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: they didn't have to throw because they were up by Anderson.

966
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm benching he only saw one target. I love him

967
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: as a deep play touchdown threatened. He led the NFL

968
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: in twenty plus yard to John's last week last year.

969
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: But one target from Donald that concerns me. I want

970
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: to see him get more targets before. I love I made.

971
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 1: I made a crazy proclamation on a podcast earlier this

972
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: week about a noon on but he saw ten of

973
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: Donald's twenty one targets out there. I've mentioned this before.

974
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: He's six to to twenty five and plays the slot,

975
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: which gives him a heat usually a four to five

976
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 1: inch advantage out there, and Donald could not say he

977
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: couldn't stop but like glowing saying nice things about a

978
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: noon Well this week, I'm benching. Prior he only played

979
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: four percent of snaps despite the forty nine yards over

980
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: the running game. I don't like the Crowell and Powell

981
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: split so much. Kroll got, Krol got the touchdowns, but

982
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: Henry and Lewis, especially if you give Henry the sixty

983
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: two yard donchjown that that that got taken away. They

984
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: really torched Miami both through the air to running backs.

985
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: And I don't even Dominican Sue Clogg in the middle.

986
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: That's a big difference from Miami this year exactly. I

987
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: gave both these guys C grades only because because they

988
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: monopolize each other. But I think they're both startable, right right,

989
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: all right, Let's go to the Raiders and Broncos. Matt

990
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: the almost nothing to like from the Raiders game on

991
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: Monday Night. Marie Cooper in particular, very very disappointing, other

992
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: than Jared Cook, was the you know, the lone bright spot,

993
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: who do you like? This week? As they traveled to

994
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: Denver in a good Broncos defense. I hope Tony has

995
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: my music cued up. Yeah, there it is. You want

996
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: to know what I think about Marshawn Lynch. It's time

997
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: for a sabotage. Sabotage, Yes, so do it. Eleven carries

998
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: last week, a shoulder and a groin injury. That's about

999
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: what I expect out of Marshawn Lynch from now. And

1000
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: that Raiders defense is absolutely terrible, which means they're going

1001
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: to be playing behind all season long. That means Jalen

1002
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: Richard enters the game and leads the running backs and touches.

1003
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: It's time to think about avotage dropping Marshawn Lynch in

1004
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: your league. There's no proof that John Gruden knows how

1005
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: to coach an offense anymore. Worked good, and they just

1006
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: went away from him the rest of the game. It

1007
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: made no sense at all. So he's on the bench

1008
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's a sabotage drop against the Broncos,

1009
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: much to the chagrin of Paul Church. To Derek Carr,

1010
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: I have a bench and drop grade on Derek Carr

1011
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: as well uh in Denver. In three tries, Derek Carr

1012
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: has never topped one and fifty eight yards gross Amari Cooper.

1013
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. He's topped fifty eight yards four

1014
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: times in his last seventeen games, had only three targets

1015
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: last week and draws Chris Harris this week. Jordy Nelson.

1016
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: He's got a bench and drop grade as well four targets.

1017
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: Last week. He used to be a deep threat. Car

1018
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: can't throw deep anymore. Twenty six of his twenty nine

1019
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: completions were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage.

1020
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: That is, which which contracted Raiders regret? Are are they

1021
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: going to regret more? The one they gave their head coach,

1022
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: of the one they gave their quarterback, the one they

1023
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: didn't give to Khalil Mack? He right, the only starter

1024
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: is Jared Cook, and I'm not trying to chase the

1025
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: huge stat line he had last week. That was great.

1026
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: He now holds the three different NFL franchise records for

1027
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: most tight end yards in a game, the Rams, the Raiders,

1028
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: and the Titans. He's the career leader for those franchises.

1029
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: But he's facing the Broncos this week. The Broncos terrible

1030
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: tight end matchup. They gave up a huge game to

1031
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: Walt Disney. I mean Will dis Lee last week. Uh

1032
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: Will dis Lee, by the way, not might take a

1033
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: chance on me tight end? Last week? It was Nick Vanette, right, alright,

1034
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: we were so almost got it right. Had you only

1035
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: thought about the the converted defensive end to tight end angles.

1036
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: I think then you would have found will Disley um

1037
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 1: over on the Broncos. This will be brief because Philip

1038
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: Lindsay and case Keeno were might take a chance on

1039
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: me Guys. I got a B for Royce Freeman. I

1040
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: talked about how the Raiders defense was poor against the

1041
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: Runners via the pass, but they also gave up a

1042
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen yards on the ground running backs last week.

1043
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: So Freeman's a B. Manuel Sanders easy A he might

1044
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: be for a while. Case Keenum loves that slot receiver

1045
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: that was on display. The Raiders allowed Cooper Cup to

1046
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: go for fifty nine yards and a touchdown last week.

1047
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: That's their weak spot in the second area is their

1048
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: slot coverage. So Sanders is an A. Damarius Thomas gets

1049
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: a B. Courtland Sutton I got on the bench. Though

1050
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: both Brandon Cooks and Robert Woods had meager outputs in

1051
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: in Week one against the outside corners, uh Cooks was

1052
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: better at five eight seven. That's about what I see

1053
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: for Damarius Thomas in this game. So that's that's about

1054
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: a B grade there. And Jake Butts on the bench,

1055
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say on air that I do

1056
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: not plan to touch but this weekend? Nice ye? Or

1057
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: is it? Is it Jake butt or Jake Butts just

1058
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: but is just but single? But alright, so we're not touching.

1059
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: But when we come back, chief since dealers high flying

1060
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: shootout points everywhere, right they played, they played last year,

1061
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: final score nineteen thirteen, We'll tell you what to expect

1062
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: between these teams when we come back. This is Fantasy

1063

Speaker 1: Football Weekly, presented my Green Bell Premium on the Fan.

1064

Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. We number two.

1065
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,760

00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: you and your teams. They all went one and off.

1067
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: If they didn't, you got a you know, a certain

1068
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: amount of reflection. Try to figure out was Week one anomaly?

1069
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: Did I just run into it a hot opponent? What

1070
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: parts of my roster are going to be better going forward?

1071
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: Which aren't? Don't hesitate to take drastic action. I mean there,

1072
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,479
Speaker 1: you know, we learn a lot in week on. Don't

1073
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: get so. Don't get so bound to the picks that

1074
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: you made that meant so much to you in August,

1075
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: say you can't emotionally disassociate from those picks and look

1076
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: at the problems that your team has and the players

1077
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: who aren't gonna work out and be realistic about it.

1078
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: ADP doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, great, that's exactly a to

1079
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: summarize in a word, in a phrase, ADP doesn't matter anymore.

1080
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Just you know, you need to have the second year

1081
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: draftely indifference as you examine your squad. Let's turn through

1082
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: a few more matchups, including the Chiefs versus the Steelers.

1083
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: As I mentioned going into the break, these teams meant

1084
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: last year shockingly low scoring game thirteen to nineteen. No

1085
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: chance that happens here last night. Look the Vegas. The

1086
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: Vegas line on this I think is fifty fifty two

1087
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: and a half. Fifty two and a half. Thank you.

1088
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go Buffalo elk River on it. No, no,

1089
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: there is there is no aidan bowman at the helm

1090
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: of either one of these teams. Let's start on the

1091
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: Kansas cityside. Tiger Kill obvious A grade could be sitting

1092
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: on the best wide receiver year year of any wide

1093
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: receiver potentially this season. We'll see how that goes. B

1094
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: grades for its quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and this one safe

1095
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: to say he's not gonna get too shovel past touchdowns

1096
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: in this game. I think that's not gonna happen. I't

1097
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna maybe every game. It's gonna be two shows.

1098
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: God will we take that, um. But it's still a

1099
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: good matchup the as you guys know, I stuck my

1100
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: neck out on Mahomes big time. I'm not gonna lie

1101
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: when those touchdowns happened the long ones, I was jumping

1102
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: up and down in my living room, vaulted off the couch, pants,

1103
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: flew off my body completely naked, totally would my nakedness

1104
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: was naked. The Steelers secondary already battered. Starting cornerback Joe

1105
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: Hayden is doubtful, already Burns as questionable. Burns only place

1106
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: one side of the field, So even if Burns starts, Chiefs,

1107
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs just put Hill on the other side of the field,

1108
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: where there's apparently a player worse than Joe Hayden right now,

1109
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Cameron Sutton. So a great matchup for Hill here and

1110
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: frankly a good one for all of the Chiefs. Patrick

1111
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes b great considered an A grade for him here

1112
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: as well. He is my quarterback number five across the

1113
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: board this week Also, I'll mention this Steelers pass rush

1114
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: maybe missing two players as well, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward

1115
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: and defensive and Tyson a lulu a lululu. And if

1116
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: those guys can't go now, they're short in the secondary

1117
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: and the pass rush, I'm I'm swing Patrick Mahomes is

1118
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: an A grade. I'm switching right kind of questioning this Tyreek. Sorry,

1119
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: we wanna mention Travis Kelsey just one catch last week,

1120
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh was stellar against tight ends last year, allowing

1121
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: the fewest touchdowns and the fewest receptions to the position.

1122
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: They also held Cleveland tight ends last week to just

1123
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty five yards. But in his career against Pittsburgh, Kelsey

1124
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: has tallied six or more targets in all five games,

1125
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: so the game script has always worked for him here,

1126
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: and he's had seventy yards or more in half of them.

1127
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: So I have a B grade on Kelsey, and I

1128
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: think he bounces back, but I don't see an explosive

1129
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: game coming. Sammy Watkins gets a C grade because of

1130
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: the injuries. The second area that I outlined earlier. Only

1131
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: three catches from him last week and he had a

1132
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: terrible drop, so I'm not sure that Sammy Watkins is

1133
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: a average NFL receiver at best, and snaps last week

1134
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: over hill over. I just think he's just a guy.

1135
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: But he gets a C grade here Kaream Hunt. In

1136
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the meeting last year, Hunt totally shut down on the

1137
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: ground twenty one rushing yards. That is it. His day

1138
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: was saved through the air, though he had eighty nine

1139
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: yards receiving in the matchup last year. That was the

1140
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: second highest total of his entire career. But get this,

1141
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt in his last one forty snaps has garnered

1142
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty receiving yards. That's it. He is. He has heered,

1143
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: disappeared from the receiving game, and that's how he beat

1144
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers last year. So he looked ordinary against the

1145
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Chargers last week as well. The good news is Steelers

1146
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: allowed to whopping four point seven yards per carry last year,

1147
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: but they only gave up two point nine yards per

1148
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: cary to the Browns last week. There's a lot of

1149
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: things working against Kareem Hunt here. He is only a

1150
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: B start. Let's go to the Steelers side. Roethlisberger Brown

1151
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: obvious A starts. Anytime Ben is at home. Don't think twice,

1152
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: you just play him automatically. As bad as he looked

1153
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: on the road last week, he should be great at home.

1154
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: We've seen this over and over again. Antonio Brown's and

1155
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,919
Speaker 1: obvious start. James Conner A grade and my number five

1156
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: running back this week, very good last week and the

1157
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: last four times levy On Bell faced the Chiefs. Listen

1158
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: to the yardage totals. This is just rushing one one,

1159
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: one hundred forty four, one hundred seventy and one hundred

1160
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: seventy nine rushing yards for levy On Bell. If you

1161
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: think that, James Connors, let's say eight percent end of

1162
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Levy On Bell, you're still looking at like a hundred

1163
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: forty yards hundred sixty yard games, so that'd be great. Connor,

1164
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: what was a two hundred total yards last week? Bell

1165
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: touched the ball, by the way in his last two

1166
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: meetings with Kansas City sixty four times. So Connor is

1167
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: getting volume. I mean everything here, screams start James Conner.

1168
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Uh Juju Smith Schuster gets a C grade Steelers slot

1169
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 1: receiver is the gets the only he matches up against

1170
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: the only member of the chief secondary who's worth a

1171
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: damn and that's Kendall Fuller, who came over the Alex

1172
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Smith trade. Fuller was terrific last year. He was very

1173
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: good in Week one, the Chargers had to throw around

1174
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller, and that means Juju Smith Schuster has got

1175
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the worst matchup on the field. He drops all the

1176
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: way down to a C grade here and here's your

1177
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: best and one of my favorite deep flyers for this week.

1178
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: He really should have been. Might take a chance on me.

1179
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Receiver Justin Hunter, journeyman, former first rounder who has found

1180
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: himself in Pittsburgh. He started opposite Antonio Brown last week

1181
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: and James Washing and barely even hit the field. Hunter

1182
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: has a dream matchup against Orlando Scandrick, who's playing out

1183
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: of position. If you need a dart to throw this week,

1184
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for that that ultra cheap dfs play,

1185
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: perhaps at Fanball, perhaps for the prize pool by going

1186
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: to fanball dot com slash Radio. Justin Hunter is the

1187
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: way to go for the tight ends for Pittsburgh where

1188
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: they're they're done for the year. Now vance McDonald comes back.

1189
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: That means that he's going to share time with with

1190
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: James Jesse James, it's over for both. Moving on, why

1191
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: are you Sloan Mahomes. I haven't tough four this week.

1192
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: I haven't got five, five, And you know what, And

1193
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: it's only because I I am so deeply, passionately, romantically

1194
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: in love with Patrick Mahomes about I have to check

1195
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: my own enthusiasm a little bit. I get that, all right,

1196
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: thank you. Uh, Eagles take on the Bucks, Scott. We've

1197
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: already talked about some of our plays that we love here.

1198
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: The Bucks are short number one, number two, and number

1199
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: three starting cornerbacks for this game. Yeah, and for that reason,

1200
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Foldsersier take home obviously. For that reason, I have Nelson

1201
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: Aguilar as an A grade. He had ten targets last week.

1202
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: Didn't do a lot with him, but that's that's gonna

1203
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 1: be rare with When you get ten targets, you're gonna

1204
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: do a lot more. And thanks to Rich Rebar for

1205
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: this stat. The Bucks allowed thirteen slot receiver receptions last week.

1206
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Plays the slot could be a big days. My number

1207
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: eleven wide receiver this week, all of them. They were

1208
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 1: the worst in the league against wide receivers last year. Uh.

1209
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, honestly, I want I want to start him,

1210
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: but he had no catches last week. So I just

1211
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: can't trust him even in a in a great matchup,

1212
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: so I'm still benching him. Earth's gets the A grade there. Uh,

1213
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: he led the Eagles and targets. I know that the

1214
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Bucks have only allowed three tight ends over fifty yards

1215
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: in the last nineteen games, but they faced Ingram Olson

1216
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: and then Ebron was the third best tight end in

1217
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: that stretch, so I think that it's still an A

1218
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Clement was my take home. In the running game, a

1219
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: gi e I'm giving a B grade to Sprawls is out.

1220
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: A GI is still going to get his fifteen touches.

1221
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: And my theory on the GI usage last week was

1222
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: basically that they were trying to heal up his foot,

1223
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: which I think is now completely healed. And the Falcons

1224
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: are terrible against pass catching running backs and that's why

1225
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Sprowls played so much last week. This week, a Giant

1226
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: Clement fifteen ish touches each be grade for a Giant

1227
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: over to the Buccaneers. I'm benching Fitzpatrick after a QB

1228
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: one performance. Get that you're so ballsy that you'll bench

1229
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback Fantasy football Fantasy. Get this step

1230
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: my boy. Ryan McDonald came up with this one, Fitzpatrick

1231
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: has been a QB one, a top twelve quarterback thirty

1232
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: five times his average finished the following week QB three.

1233
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: He comes back terrible. He comes back to earth in

1234
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: a way. He does not reload. He cannot keep it

1235
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: up for the second performance. UH the Eagles. The Eagles

1236
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: have held six of the last ten kebs they faced

1237
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards and only twelve touchdowns to those

1238
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks. I'm benching him and most of the most

1239
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: of the passing game because that d Jacks in a

1240
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: revenge game. He's he's hurt, might not play. Evans is

1241
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: an obvious A grade, though it doesn't matter with the matchup.

1242
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: He's an obvious A grade from me here, Godwin, I'm

1243
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: giving a C grade two. In games where he's played

1244
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: fourty year more snaps, he's done really well. He's done

1245
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: well in all of his starts he that he's had

1246
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: at least sixty eight yards or a touchdown. He played

1247
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: seventy of the snaps. Last week. D Jacks played so

1248
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: um benching Howard benching bread. Uh, tight ends Eagles are

1249
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: good against tight ends. Can't can't start him. I'm actually

1250
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: benching Barber as well. It took it took him nineteen

1251
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: touches to not be that good last week, and the

1252
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Eagles allowed the fewest yards to running backs last year,

1253
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: and the little restruction for him. Yeah, so I'm benching.

1254
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm benching Barbara. I don't care if he gets twenty touches.

1255
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm still benching him. All right, fair enough, I'm gonna

1256
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: do this next one in one minute chart Patriots Jags, No,

1257
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: you're a Cardinals Rams. Hearts Rams. David Johnson A grade

1258
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: nine targets, five receptions. Rams allowed a hundred and forty

1259
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 1: five total yards in a score to the Raiders backs

1260
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: last week. You're so wrong on this terrible offensive line,

1261
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: vastly improved run defense within dominicensoo for the Rams he's

1262
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna get he is. He isn't ruining my minute right now.

1263
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald B grade ten targets, seven receptions, seventy six

1264
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: yards last week, fits in dj told nineteen targets, the

1265
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: rest of the team at fourteen. Ricky Seals Jones he

1266
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 1: gets a C grade, encouraging that he had six targets

1267
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: ran routes on seventy of the Cardinals plays last week.

1268
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: The Rams did just give up the farm to Jared

1269
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: cook last week too. That might be the way to

1270
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: gouge this defense the rest of the passing game, including

1271
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford on the bench, Todd Gurley easy A Cooper

1272
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: Cup B Grade lad the team in red zone targets

1273
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,839
Speaker 1: with three, including two inside the ten. In total targets

1274
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: in the two meetings last year, Cup had fifty one

1275
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: on a score in the first sixty eight yards in

1276
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: the second. Cooks Woods both Sea Grades eight targets last

1277
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: week drew very long past interference call for Brandon Cooks.

1278
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Those don't count as targets though, so he would have

1279
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: had ten. Cooks ran eighty five percent of his routes

1280
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: on the outside, making him the likely match up against

1281
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson. That's why he gets the Sea. Woods had

1282
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: nine targets. He gets the C two tied with Cup

1283
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: with two targets inside the ten. Woods only played the

1284
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Cards once last year, with a meager five for fifty

1285
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: nine coming out of that game. Just a little tap

1286
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: it on him. Finally, Jared Goff, I like everybody, so

1287
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: I gotta give Jared Goff a b um. Goff is

1288
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: thrown from multiple touchdown passes in eight of his last

1289
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: nine regular season games. The Cardinals have allowed multiple touchdowns

1290
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: in six of their last nine games, and the Rams

1291
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: put up thirty two and thirty three points against Arizona

1292
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: in their last two meetings with them. That was well done.

1293
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: It was concise, but it was still way more than

1294
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: one minute. But that's okay, I blame you. We will

1295
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: take It's all my fault. Uh. We will take a break.

1296
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,519

01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: slash Radio. Let's uh segment we like called premature speculation.

1314
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 1: The idea is we give you a guy to pick

1315
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: up this week that other people are gonna wish they

1316
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: already had on their roster, like Philip Dorset last week.

1317
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's see who were recommending Scott you know in my

1318
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: league's Jayalen Shard is still available even after the eleven

1319
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: targets than catching nine of them this last week. I

1320
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: don't love the Denver matchup this week, and maybe that's

1321
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: why he's still available pretty widely terrible matchup, top five

1322
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: run defense against receiving backs. But after that he gets Miami,

1323
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: who who gave up six or forty through the air

1324
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: and a hundred forty one and one total in a

1325
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 1: sixty two yard called back fourth most receptions and second

1326
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: most receiving touchdowns and running backs last year. And then

1327
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 1: after that he it's the Browns who were bottom twelve

1328
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: against receiving backs last year and just torched by Connor.

1329
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: So he's got a couple of really good matchups coming

1330
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: up after this week. All right, Matt, I premature speculation player.

1331
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: I got the guy that is not Justin Hunter on

1332
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's James Washington. I'm talking last week up

1333
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: to first game for a rookie, weird weather, super rainy

1334
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: and and windy. And this week they play the Chiefs,

1335
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: who allowed sixteen receptions to wide receivers in Week one

1336
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: that was the seventh most in the league. So he's

1337
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: got a good shot to get some play this week.

1338
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: The Chiefs also allowed the second most yards and the

1339
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: third most receptions to wide receivers in seventeen. Next week

1340
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: they get the Buccaneers, who allowed the most receptions and

1341
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: yards to wide receivers last year and who allowed a

1342
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: league high twenty three receptions to wide receivers in Week

1343
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: one against the Saints. I think it's James Washington. But

1344
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: if you want to plug in Justin Hunter and right now,

1345
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: for right now, and I want to do Justin Hunter.

1346
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: If you ask me in week twelve who's starting, then

1347
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,520
Speaker 1: it's Washington. I think he's a long term hold. Uh. Bizarrely,

1348
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: intent of ESPNS leagues, Aaron Jones, the best running back

1349
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 1: by a mile Packers is available. You got a coin

1350
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: flips chance that Aaron Jones is available in your league.

1351
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:21,560
Speaker 1: He's so much better than Williams, who's utterly mundane. Williams

1352
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: three point six yards per carry last season and he

1353
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: to this point, he's three point one yards per carry

1354
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: this season. Get this, Aaron Jones five and a half

1355
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: yards per carry last year. He's suspended for these first

1356
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,600
Speaker 1: two games. Williams did nothing last week, is gonna do

1357
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: nothing against the Vikings. Jones is gonna come in looking

1358
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: at like a hero after what Jamal Williams has done.

1359
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: I said this in the preseason like four times during

1360
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 1: our shows. Yeah, Brian loves Jamal, but Aaron Jones ten

1361
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: ten carries over ten yards last year, Jamal one. Look,

1362
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: it's not close. Aaron Jones is the best running back

1363
01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: on the Packers period. End of story. Uh, let's let's

1364
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: dive back into our matchups, beginning with the Patriots taking

1365
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars yep um. Normally, this is the point

1366
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: of which I say obvious a for Tom Brady and

1367
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, and you know, we just move on. But

1368
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: it's the Jaguars. This is an elite secondary that ranked

1369
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,799
Speaker 1: number one in passing yards allowed, number three and passing

1370
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed number two, and fantasy points to quarterbacks allowed

1371
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: last year. Last week they totally dominated Eli Manning that

1372
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: held him to a scoreless two D twenty four yards.

1373
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: So we look back at the a f C Championship

1374
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: game when these teams played last January. Tom Brady managed

1375
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: two D nine yards and two touchdowns in that game.

1376
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: But to get to two yards and two scores, they

1377
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: only ran the ball thirteen times. All the rest were passes.

1378
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: That was thirty eight passes. So I'm nervous about Tom

1379
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,679
Speaker 1: Brady here, but a B grade because he's Tom Brady

1380
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: an he through for two nine two last time they met. Uh,

1381
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about his receivers. Philip Dorsett gets a C

1382
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: grade here. Um, he fills the spot vacated by Brandon

1383
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: Cooks who went for one hundred yards in the a

1384
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: f C Championship game. But he's gonna likely draw Jalen

1385
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:10,759
Speaker 1: Ramsey and it's a brutal matchup, and frankly, I preferre

1386
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to start him. Cordelle Patterson's on the

1387
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: bench but I'll note that he does work out of

1388
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: the slot, which gives him the easiest matchup among the

1389
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars cornerbacks. D J. Hayden total dart throw here, but

1390
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't get myself to put a to put his

1391
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: start in grade in Cordarrell after he only had one

1392
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 1: target last week. Chris Hogan on the bench just one

1393
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: catch last week, had two catches against the Jaguars in

1394
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: the playoff game. He has a brutal matchup with a J. Bouyer.

1395
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Buy low on Chris Hogan. Do it today because he

1396
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: had the bad game last week and the Chris Hogan

1397
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: owner doesn't want to start him this week. You'll never

1398
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: have a lower price on Tom Brady's number one wide

1399
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: receiver than Chris Hogan. Right now, go by low and

1400
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: very secretly check out Chris Hogan's price on fan ball

1401
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 1: this week. Rob Gronkowski gets a B grade here. He

1402
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: had just one catch in the a f C Championship game,

1403
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: but he was pretty dinged up for a lot of

1404
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: last season. He remember he was out with that injury

1405
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: revenge game. UM Jags were elite against tight ends last year,

1406
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: and they shut down Evan Ingram last week. Holding him

1407
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: to eighteen yards, and what else we got running game?

1408
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about James White. Well, first know this Rex

1409
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: burke Head probably plays despiping in the concussion protocol, but

1410
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure, and he's heading towards a

1411
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: potential game time decision. He had only one carry in

1412
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: the playoff game, and then Sony Michelle might make his debut.

1413
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: That would muddy the waters further. The Jaguars held se

1414
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley to two yards per carry except for the

1415
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: sixty four yard touchdown that Barkley had. And so I've

1416
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: got Birkehead on the bench, I've got I've got Sony

1417
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Michelle in the bench. We're gonna take a watch on

1418
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: his status. We don't know. I'm sure he's gonna play.

1419
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: James White gets a C grade here. He scored last week,

1420
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: but nothing comes easily against the Jaguars. And White was

1421
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 1: totally invisible in the playoff game last last January, and

1422
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars only gave up three running back scores through

1423
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: the air last year. Now, if Burkehead and Michelle are

1424
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: both inactive, which is possible, then James White would elevate

1425
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: up to a B level start let's go to the

1426
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: Jaguar side. This thing is super murky and it's all

1427
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournette. So let's talk it through for a minute.

1428
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Very limited practice this week. He had the hamstring injury

1429
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: that knocks him out of last week. Hamstrings are notorious

1430
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 1: for re injury and aggravation. So you're all all that together,

1431
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: and I think unless you get a very strong message

1432
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: that he's going to be active and he's going to

1433
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,560
Speaker 1: start and he's gonna get a lot of snaps, I

1434
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: think he's a very high risk play here when active.

1435
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Um you know, when active, if if he's getting if

1436
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: you're getting a full workload, he would probably get a

1437
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: B grade. As it stands right now, I have a

1438
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: nervous sea on Leonard four Nett and my preference here

1439
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: is you don't even have to start him. I think

1440
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden is the most will most likely end

1441
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: up with more more total touches than for Net even

1442
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: if for Nett is active for this game. So just

1443
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of danger and a lot of moving parts,

1444
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: and I wish you could do something different. The Patriots

1445
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: a lot four point nine yards per carry last week,

1446
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: and that's in line with the crappy four point seven.

1447
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: They gave up all of last year, so running running

1448
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: backs can get done here. I'm just nervous about the

1449
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: rotation and the hamstring and the threat of reinjury. So

1450
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: I've got sea grades on yelled In and Leonard Fournett

1451
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: in the passing game. In three games without Leonard four Nette,

1452
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles averaged just three hundred passing yards, and so

1453
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: he'll be asked to carry more here if Fournett can't go.

1454
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: He threw for two hundred ninety three yards in the

1455
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: playoff game, so he's actually a plausible play. I've got

1456
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: a C grade on him here. But the Patriots totally

1457
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: shut down to Shaun Watson last week, and I don't

1458
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: love any of his receiver matchups. Killing Cole gets. He

1459
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: barely gets a C grade because he goes up against

1460
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: their best cornerback, Stephan Gilmore, and really just because he's

1461
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: the only plausible receiver they've got him not starting Dante Moncrief,

1462
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: not starting Austin's Ferry and Jenkins. The Patriots are excellent

1463
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: against Titans last year and last last week, so I

1464
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: don't like any of them. Let's go to our next

1465
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: matchup Lions taking on the forty nine Lions could have

1466
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: looked more dreadful and Matthew Stafford in particular. Do you

1467
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 1: like him any better here, Scott? I do. I think

1468
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: it was more of an anomaly. I know he's looked

1469
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: bad in the preseason and bad last week, but I

1470
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: think he I think he rebounds this week. Uh. Four

1471
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: nights or bottom third in the league against quarterbacks last

1472
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: week last year, Cousins had no key out in last week.

1473
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: Stafford probably should fall behind in this game and and

1474
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: try to catch up. I'm not I'm not among the

1475
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: people that think he's gonna throw three four interceptions again,

1476
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: right right? Uh. Golden Tate B grade for Stafford, which

1477
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: might be a little high, but Tate solid A grade.

1478
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: He had fifteen targets last week and Theland crushed them

1479
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco from the slot last week. Marvin Jones C grade.

1480
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: He had eight targets last week. I don't know that

1481
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna get there this week, but as the third

1482
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the team, he might be able to

1483
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: get just enough in garbage time to make that C grade.

1484
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay A grade, of course, because he's the best

1485
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: wide receive around. I just love Kenny all day. He

1486
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: played nine of the team's offensive snaps uh fifty two

1487
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: routes run second in the NFL twelve targets. That's sixteen

1488
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry, yards per reception. That's huge.

1489
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna score this week. Riddick pass catching backs are

1490
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: good against the forty niners um uh their bottom ten

1491
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,560
Speaker 1: last week and that so I'm giving Riddick a C

1492
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: grade over the over to the side Garoppolo B grade.

1493
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: He's averaging almost exactly three hundred yards per game in

1494
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: his six starts, only seven touchdowns and eight interceptions, but

1495
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 1: I think those are gonna come eventually. He looks like

1496
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: a pro, so I'm giving him B grade here. C

1497
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: grade for Gerson, who led the San Francisco skill players

1498
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: and snaps last week. Didn't do a lot with it,

1499
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: but it's coming. Uh. Dante Pennace was my take com

1500
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: George Kittle. He should have had a hundred fifty yards

1501
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 1: in a touched on last week. He's gotten a grade

1502
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: for me. He's been lights out, averaging eighteen yards per catch.

1503
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: Uh lights out With Garoppolo, I give him an A

1504
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: grade And Morris and Breda in the running game. I

1505
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: can see them doing what Crowell and Powell did last week.

1506
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: They they stopped up a hundred and sixty two yards

1507
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: and two scores. Uh. The Lions Batigans pass catching backs.

1508
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: That's good for Breda. Morris is the goal lineback, actually

1509
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: tied for the league leading NFL with carries inside the five.

1510
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: That's good for him. I can see a similar things.

1511
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: See grades for both of them. All right, let's move

1512
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: on Giants taking on the Cowboys. Matt it's the usual

1513
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: suspects in this game that you're gonna start and you're

1514
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 1: not gonna start anybody else. Ezekiel Elliott the easy A

1515
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: grade with a twenty touch guaranteed, and the Giants allowed

1516
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty to running backs last week. Dak

1517
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Prescott in the passing game, they're all on the bench.

1518
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Dak finished with less than two hundred yards in eight

1519
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 1: of his last eleven games. He has no help from

1520
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: his pass catchers and even Cole Beasley, who did lead

1521
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: the team in targets and topped fifty yards for these

1522
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: second time in twenty two games. Yeah, yeah, you're not

1523
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: playing him either. Over to the Giant side, se Kwan

1524
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,879
Speaker 1: Barkley is an easy a. He's the most bankable Giants

1525
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: player I think for maybe the whole year. Onto the

1526
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 1: passing game, Eli Manning. Dave Senekin talked about this in

1527
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: the last show. He said Eli Manning owns the Cowboys. Well,

1528
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: that's not true. He's not topped two hundred and twenty

1529
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: eight yards against the Cowboys in the last six meetings

1530
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: and only has five touchdowns in that six game span.

1531
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: Eli mannings on the bench, But I'm still giving Odell

1532
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 1: Beckham an a fifteen targets and eleven receptions last week,

1533
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: and they moved him around the field to avoid Jalen Ramsey.

1534
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: He had thirty six percent of his routes from the slot.

1535
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: That's triple what he did under Ben McAdoo. His last

1536
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: hundred yard game versus Dallas, though, was November. I think

1537
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: he's got a shot to break that this time. This

1538
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: time though, and Evan A. Graham's the only other starter.

1539
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: I just gave him a C grade. I'm concerned that

1540
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Angram only had five targets while Beckham had fifteen. Remember

1541
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: that most of Ingram's production last year came as a

1542
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: result of O'Dell being gone, so Dallas is the middle

1543
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: of the road opponent. But you you drafted Angram to

1544
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: be your starting tight end, and you've got to start

1545
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: him with a Sea Sterling Shepherds on the bench. Though.

1546
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: H Seahawks take on the Bears our final matchup, and

1547
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks there is only two starters. Really. Chris

1548
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: Carson ran for seven yards per carry in Week one,

1549
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: and then he fumbled, and Pete Carroll decided to make

1550
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: a statement and he put in bulbous rookie Rashad Penny,

1551
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 1: who got one yard per carry. So, you know, whatever

1552
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,719
Speaker 1: message he was trying to make, I think the message

1553
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: I got was that Chris Carson's really good and Rashon

1554
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Penny is really bad. We'll continue to start Carson here

1555
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: with a B grade. Chicago is a good run defense, though,

1556
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: and this is not an easy matchup, and they could

1557
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: fall behind. Russell Wilson gets a C grade. The Bears

1558
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: were the only defense in the NFL to finish in

1559
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the top ten of all of these stats, each of

1560
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: which is salient to Russell Wilson's game last year. Passing

1561
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: yards allowed, passing touchdowns allowed, rushing yards by quarterbacks, quarterback

1562
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, they were top ten and all of those,

1563
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: all of that works against Russell Wilson here. I don't

1564
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: like any of his receiver matchups. And the tight end

1565
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:56,560
Speaker 1: position is a void. So Russell Wilson just a C

1566
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:02,879
Speaker 1: grade here. Tyler Lockett to play him, maybe, but he's

1567
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: got he's got maybe their best matchup against Bryce Callahan.

1568
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: You C grade. I'll give him a C grade. That's it.

1569
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chicago. Side love Jordan Howard. The Seattle

1570
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: just let Royce Freeman and Philip Lindsay rack up one

1571
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 1: hundred forty two rushing yards and he played seventy percent

1572
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: of the snaps and the opener. He is an A grade.

1573
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: And I even I've even given a C grade to

1574
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 1: three Cohen as well. Seattle great against receiving backs last year,

1575
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: but there's a totally different defense. And Philip Lindsay was

1576
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: good in the air against Seattle last week. He had

1577
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: eight touches last week, Uh Cohen did. And that's the

1578
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 1: problem with I guess Cohen is you only get the

1579
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: eight to issue touches. But a C grade for him

1580
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: here too. From a passing standpoint, I I actually like

1581
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: Mr Risky here. I'm giving him a C grade in

1582
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: a bounce back effort, and I'm predicting a two touchdown

1583
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: game for Sad trombon Ski. I think he bounces back

1584
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: nicely here because he's got nice matchups all over the field,

1585
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:02,759
Speaker 1: including Allen Robinson, uh Seattle's playing on out of position

1586
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: safety at cornerback named Trey Flowers. His first ever history

1587
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: of his life game at cornerback happened last week and

1588
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Denver abused him all over the field. Robinson lines up

1589
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: all over the field. He'll find him regularly. So will

1590
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: table Taylor Gabriel, who will actually line up against him

1591
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: the most. Based on what we saw in Week one.

1592
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: He's a dart throw as well, and I like Trey Burton.

1593
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 1: He finished Week one with just one catch. I know

1594
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 1: that he was ignored wide open in the end zone.

1595
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: I know that as well. The six targets though, we're

1596
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: encouraging and he's got a positive matchup against pedestrian Songs

1597
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: strong safety Bradley McDougald um. I still think Trey Burton

1598
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: can lead the Bears in total receptions this year. It's

1599
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a very abbreviated lightning round. It's very patient

1600
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: for everybody's very grateful for Reddy's patients. One question between
