That's three players who 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.440 recommend you pick up this week, so that when everybody 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.000 else is trying to pick that guy up next week, 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.320 he's already on your roster. Oh man, that worked out 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.920 well last week, didn't it. Charge We'll talk about three 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.280 tough questions. You can go three and oor try to 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.840 go three against our panel of experts, and we will 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.399 give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance. 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.600 These are free agent style players that you can pick 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:14.319 up and start. Now. This show recognizes and celebrates greatness 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.400 athletic athletic greatness in the NFL. Players we watch on 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:24.640 Sunday sometimes coaching greatness, fantastic play design, schemes, play calls, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.800 but we also celebrate one other kind of greatness, our 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.040 own Scott, who is your premature speculation player? I am 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.800 going there with that, that guy that had that toe 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.200 tapping first catch in the NFL on the sidelines in 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.480 week one, and then a week or two later you 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.160 had that big a r touchdown. They call him maple 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.200 Tron on the team because he's from Canada. That's a 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.600 jujuice in the Shuster calls him. I'm going to Chase 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.760 Claypool six ft four two thirty eight pounds four four 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.000 to forty awesome matchup this weekend. People are going to 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.760 see it. His snap percentage and routes run increased exponentially 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.000 week after week. Come with him. He overtook James Washington 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.040 in snaps last week. Uh, Deonte Johnson and Juduice Smith. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.000 Schuster aren't always the picture of health. I think Chase 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.720 Claypool shows up this week and I think he's got 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.560 a lot of weeks in him this year. Couldn't agree 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.720 more love Chase Claypool like kid is going to be 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.080 a ball or already is? We need happy trombones for 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.840 him to double peacock. Did he double down on the 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:34.680 take coming to Oh yeah, but he didn't happen take 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.880 a chance on me. But he didn't have it in 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.480 the notes originally in our in our little slack channel 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.720 that he was going to use Chase Claypool and he 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.200 backed off of it because he was already used calculation. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.680 It was. It was an awesome call by Scott Fish, 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.800 one of the best calls in the history of fantasy football. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.200 Weekly for an immediate really in the history of fantasy football, 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.680 immediate pay pay out on premature speculation. You're gonna need 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.079 to wait until the final segment to get this week's 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:07.680 premature speculation. Oh and it's gonna be just as guarantee 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.600 everywhere every time, just a different player to catch his yard. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.000 You will find out in short order what we're going 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.320 to what we will be predicting for Cleveland and Pittsburgh 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.399 and Chase Claypool for this week. Deante Johnson out, Let's 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.240 turn our attention to the matchups, beginning with Denver taking 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.880 on New England. It looks like Drew Lock will be 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.119 back at the Helm for the Broncos. So some good 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.200 news there, Yeah, because so we were going to have 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.560 this game last week, but then I got pushed to 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.960 this week. And last week the starters were set to 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.440 be Brett Rippon versus Jarrett Stidham, and now we have 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.280 Drew Lock versus Cam Newton. That's a lot better. Uh, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.640 Drew Lock expected to return, I'm still going to leave 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.120 him on the bench. He only logged thirty three passing 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.400 attempts in his only completed game this season, and the 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.760 Patriots are allowing a league low twenty nine point eight 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.400 passing attempts per game. In his first game back, you 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.160 think Bronco is trying to stick to a run heavy 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.800 ball control script in New England. Except Melvin Gordon's status 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.040 is seriously in doubt. Was arrested for a d u 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.600 I earlier this week and also has been sitting out 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.040 with a illness. You can probably see the air quotes 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.960 over the radio. Uh, still hung over from Tuesday. Maybe 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:27.279 that puts his status severely in doubt for this game. Um. Also, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.880 Philip Lindsay was set to return last week but then 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.800 got an extra week off, so he's a little bit 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.279 Healthier and Scott Fish when doing this preview last week, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.120 this stat Gordon has eighteen touches in three games this year, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.839 all three running backs to top fourteen touches. Also topped 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.040 eighty total yards against the Patriots. But there seems to 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.920 be no way for Gordon to get to the eighteen 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.680 touch mark with all these things working against him. So 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.799 I'm giving him a see if if Melvin Gordon is inactive, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.400 I'm giving Philip Lindsay the sea um. That's it on 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.719 the running game, how about the passing game? Jerry Judy, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.400 Tim Patrick, Noah Fantiffy is able to go. They're all 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.279 on the bench, though fantas questionable with an ankle injury 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.600 and still may not go at the extra week arrest. Also, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.400 kJ Hammler's in the same boat with a hamstring, although 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.680 he's more doubtful than questionable. Uh. Jerry Judy has hit 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.200 the fifty yard mark in every game, and Tim Patrick 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.400 sure looked good against the Jets. But Stephan Gilmour isn't 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.440 on the Jets and he returns to the lineup for 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.240 the Pats. The Pats are middle of the pack against whiteouts, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.799 allowing about thirteen catches and a hundred and seventy yards 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.559 per game. But consider that this offense is going about 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.400 ten different directions right now, I'd leave all the Broncos 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.640 you can on the bench on the Patriot side. Cam 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.000 gets an a. This could be run of the rare 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.359 Cam passing masterpieces, as the Broncos are allowing the second 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.960 most passing attempts in the league this season, almost forty 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.720 two per game, and in five of the six games, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.919 five of the last six games in which Cam has 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.120 thrown the ball forty one times, he's topped three hundred 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.520 yards and thrown for multiple scores and five of those six, man, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.720 it's hard of fine times when you can trust Cam 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.800 Newton's arm. Yeah, but hey, he was just on the 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.520 COVID list. Maybe his lungs aren't quite right. Maybe he 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.440 just needs to sit back in the pocket and chuck 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.719 a few this week. And and Denver is actually pretty 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.520 good against the run um. But let's talk about the 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.880 receivers before we get there. Julian Edelman, I'm giving a 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.440 b Nikil Harry a see. Every slot receiver to face 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.080 the Broncos this year has caught at least five receptions. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.800 Crowder and Godwin each had good fantasy days against this defense. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.760 And the good news is the Broncos are giving up 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.480 the most receptions per game to the wide receiver and 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.560 wide receivers at sixteen point eight this year. Uh, that 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.240 puts Harry in play too. Now the running backs Damien Harris, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.560 James White, Rex Burkhead, I don't think you can start 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.240 any of them unless there's an angle, and the angle 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.560 isn't really there for this one. The broncos one defensive 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.320 strength maybe against the running back. They're only allowing eighty 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.599 five rushing yards per game to opposing backs and just 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.280 one score through four games. And through the air it's 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.039 not much better, only four reception for twenty six yards 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.120 per game. They're all on the bench, and including James White, 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.800 and including James receiving angle, there's just Rex Burke. Hads 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.120 gonna eat a few of those receptions. I just don't 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.320 think there's enough here to give him a confidence starting grade. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.360 I don't know. I think PPR leagues, you can kind 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.200 of always start James White. You get your five six receptions, 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.520 your seven targets, your fifty yards. Broncos are allowing a 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.000 lot less than that, though. Church Let's see how it goes. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.000 He let's see Cincinnati takes on Indianapolis. Brian For Cincinnati, 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.240 Joe Mixon has been a massive frustration for fantasy owners, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:36.080 and here comes a challenging matchup. Yeah, Mixing has been frustrating, 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.120 but still probably the safest volume play out there has 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.920 handled since he's running back touches over the last three weeks. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.360 But like you said, charge, the matchups have just been 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.880 brutal all the year outside Relaxonville for Mixing, and that 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.880 continues with the Colts this week. India is not allowed 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.520 to starting running back to top seventy two rushing yards 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.600 and only one back has scored on the ground all season. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.520 Butt Mixing has twelve catches over his last two games, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.400 and opposed running backs are averaging five receptions per game 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.640 against the Colts over their last three. So you gotta 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.360 give him Mixing a sort of safe be here. You're 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.480 not benching him, that's for sure. Definitely not benching Tyler Boyd. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.120 Gonna give him a b top ten and targets among 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.960 wide receivers, and that's not going to change anytime soon. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.600 The Colts are a good aren't a great matchup for whiteouts, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.280 but slot receivers have seen the most success against them. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.840 Jarvis Landry four catches for eight eight yards, Bractson Barrios 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.000 four for sixty four and a touchdown, Keelan Cole five 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.679 for forty seven in a touchdown. So Boyd is a safe. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.360 B who is not safe is a J. Green. Let's 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:35.720 get this out of the way. He's on the bench, 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.560 left last week with a hamstring injury. Just probably just 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.160 drop you probably can sabotage drop him at this point, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.559 not even a sabotage at this point. Nobody's going to 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.439 pick up here, right. I might stille still love a j. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.839 But anyway, it's so sad. Anyway you want to trade 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.240 for him in the Empire League, Brian now exactly full 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.880 on tanking man, Well maybe I do. Anyway, te Higgins 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.720 can say that you're tanking. You just have to pretend 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.960 you declared tankruptcy. He has to pretend he's I won 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.280 five yes, by the way, declaring tankruptcy. That that that's 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.760 got something. That's anyway, Uh, te Higgins gonna give him 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.600 a ce. The Colts have allowed the fifth fewest receptions 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.840 to wide receivers, but these they've allowed six touchdowns to 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.000 wide receivers, so if you're desperate, I will give t 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.720 a C. Drew sample. Though on the bench of posting 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.720 tight ends are averaging three point four catches in twenty 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.359 seven yards per game against the Colts was zero touchdowns 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.880 bench for sample, and also a bench for Joe Burrow. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.760 Colts allowing less than eighteen points per game. That's second 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.319 best in the league. The Bengals offensive line is one 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.040 of the two worst in the league. The Colts have 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.040 a top five pass rush. Burrow is actually second in 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.880 end zone throws, but only has converted three of those 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.920 to touchdowns. That's not all his fault, but yeah, just 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.080 Burrow on the bench this week. Sadly, if you're the 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.240 Bengals this next draft, all offensive line, all the time, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.400 and I know they've already put a bunch of picks 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.320 into the offensive line. They need more. Over to the 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.440 Colts side, Jonathan Taylor, I'm giving him an aid. I'm 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.800 willing the monster breakout game here. Opposing running backs are 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.079 averaging a hundred and fifty plus combo yards per game 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.360 against the Bengals, who just lost another defensive player to 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.240 I R defensive ends Sam Hubbard defensive tackle DJ Reader 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.760 might not play in this game. Volume has been an 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.880 issue for Taylor, but he has the fifth most red 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.480 zone carries, fourth most goal line carries, and has scored 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.280 in three of the last four games. I'm liking him 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.920 here in a suspected blowout for the Colts. T Y 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.040 Hilton Forest still gets a see though did see seven 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.280 targets last week. But the problem is those targets are 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.440 coming from Philip Rivers. We'll talk about him in a second. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.320 The Bengals have actually played wide receivers kind of tough 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.440 they have, but no one. No one has topped hundred 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.920 yards against him, but opposing number ones have had nice 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.400 days against since Odell Beckham four catches seventy four yards 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.320 in touchdown, Greg Ward at the time the number one 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.760 receiver or Billy eight for seventy two and one. DJ 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.200 Charks scored twice. Marquis Brown seventy seven yards in touchdown 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.640 last week. So I'm giving Hilton a see and Philip 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.680 Rivers still on the bench since he's bottom tenant opponent 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.000 passing play percentage UH teams just passing fifty pcent of 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.640 the time against them, And if you've watched him play, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.680 that's all you need to know. Yeah, for sure, so bad. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.480 It looks it does. It looks bad, looks cooked cooked. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.960 Baltimore is taking on Philadelphia will start on the Baltimore side. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.080 Lamar Jackson's an obviously, and I'm not going to spend 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:22.880 a lot more time on that, although we'll note that 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.920 the Baltimore offense really hasn't seemingly hit its rhythm quite 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.320 yet where it's been really explosive, although a good game 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.800 last week, the explosion could be coming here. Mark Andrews 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.440 also gets an A. The Eagles are one of four 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.760 teams to allow at least five touchdowns to tight ends, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.960 and the very comparable George Kittle just shredded them for 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.160 fifteen catches, three yards and a touchdown last week. Mark 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.679 Chi's Brown gets a c A grade here. The Eagles 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.960 secondaries yielded the six most fantasy points to opposing receivers, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.720 and Brown has notched at least seventy seven yards in 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.360 three of their first five games. He'll get shadow covered 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.160 from Darius Slay, which worries me, and that's part of 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.040 why he's only a C grade here. Through five games, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.760 Darius Slay has yet to allow a score or more 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.520 than sixty six yards in his coverage in any game. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.120 So just the C grade from Mark keys Brown. And 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.480 here's the real frustration point with the Ravens. It's the 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.280 running backs and they're all on the bench. It's come 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.760 to this. You could try mark Ingram, but be aware 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.880 that you're getting a holy touchdown dependent back with mark 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.800 Ingram at this point. He just doesn't carry the ball enough. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.480 Now he is the only back who's regularly getting red 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.160 zone carries. So again, you could roll the dice on 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.120 a touchdown here, but that's what you're doing with mark Ingram. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.120 If he doesn't score, he's gonna hurt your team. He's 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:39.400 Jordan Howard. Now he is Jordan Howard. Only Darryl Henderson 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.760 has top fifty four rushing yards against Philadelphia this season. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.240 It's a tough matchup anyway. Only four backs have beaten 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.600 them for more more than sixty six yards in their 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.440 last twenty four outings. So it's hard to run on 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.200 the Eagles anyway. So all the all the all of 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.679 the Baltimore running backs are on the bench. The rushing 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.400 yards are gonna come through Lamar Jackson. Now let's get 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.720 to the Philly c Where is it? It is a 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.760 disaster great offensive line. The latest loss left tackle Lane 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.960 Johnson ruled out, and then on Friday important utility guard 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.160 who had been filling in Matt Pryor got put on 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.520 the COVID list. It's just been horrible for this offensive 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.320 line that will have one of five starters in it. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.679 It's gone to the point where other NFC teams are 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.520 gonna start jockeying for position to play the NFC East. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.040 Maybe in the playoffs. Everybody's gonna try to be the 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.760 five seed exactly. Let's talk about some of the few 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.960 players that I think you can find a way to start, 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.640 and it certainly is in Carson Wentz, who's on the 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.880 on the bench. His protection has been horrible, his receivers 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.920 are free agent quality, his running game takes no heat 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.320 off him, and he's playing badly. And then there's the 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.800 Baltimore defense. So all of that together, Carson Wentz is 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.800 on the bench, the old nut. I'm not starting any 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.880 of his receivers, including last week's star Travis Fulgum. They're 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.000 all out for this week against the Steelers, sorry against 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.760 against Baltimore. And then the one guy you you may 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.040 want to play is Zach Ertz. Now, I know zach 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.800 Ertz has been a disaster, but get this, the one 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.160 weakness with Baltimore is the tight end position. They've given 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.280 up good fantasy games already this year to David and Joku, 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.360 Jordan's Aikens, Darren Fells, and of course Travis Kelsey. Arch 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:24.960 is better than three of those four guys, and if 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.120 they're gonna get anything done through the air, it'll go 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.680 through zach ert The one difference is is all those 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.480 teams that you mentioned have wide receivers. That's a good point, 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.200 you know, and er Erch is gonna have to block 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.160 as well in this game. So I'm not expecting a 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.960 throwback to the great days of zach Ertz. But I 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.800 am giving him a C grade in this game. Miles Sanders. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.680 I almost put him on the bench, and it's just 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.640 the C grade because of the state of the offensive 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.360 line so bad last week. He you probably saw his 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.840 highlights seventy four yard touchdown run. What you didn't see 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.360 if you didn't watch the game, or his other ten 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.160 rush is for six yards. And you know, it's not 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.000 really fair to just throw out his one good play. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.000 But if he didn't make that one good play, it 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.000 would have been a disaster game for him, and he 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.000 could have another disaster one against a good Ravens team 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.600 allowing the ninth fewest rushing yards in the NFL. When 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.760 we come back take a chance on Me, these are 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.640 nine players not normally in your starting lineup. You'll be 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.680 able to pick many of these players up off the 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.200 waiver wire in this a tricky by week. When we 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:52.400 come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, welcome back to a 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.000 royalty free version of take a chance on me. We 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.760 will give you three quarterbacks, three running backs, and three receivers, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.520 many of whom are available off the aver wire, that 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.240 you can pick up and start this week, beginning with 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.000 the quarterback position and Brian Johnson. Not the first time 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.920 I'm going to recommend Gardner Minshew this time. At last 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.240 time I did that was probably two weeks ago, three 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.000 weeks ago. But anyway, Minshew at home against the Lions, 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.560 who have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in every game, including 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:29.400 three two even said on it right now, look at 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:34.080 you go, mind melding. Yes, the Lions might get cornerback 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.080 Desmond Trufont back in uniform, but he is still iffy 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.080 with the growing injury Detroit might be without slot corner 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.600 Darryl Roberts as well, And yes, d J. Chark will 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.400 probably miss this game. But I'm still rolling out Gardner Minshew, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.480 who can move mobile quarterback to lake. Sad Trombonesy and 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.400 Kyle Allen combined for fifty five rushing yards and a 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.800 touchdown and just eight carries against Detroit. Minsho's gonna throw 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.480 for at LEAs two touchdowns in the scheme. Really, I 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.920 should have been playing happy he played the Lions. He 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.159 three three touchdowns in that game. If I'm going to 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.160 extrapolate Sad Trombone Ski SATs, it's at least seven touchdowns 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:15.520 from Minshew in this game. At the talent extrapolator, exactly, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:22.399 we need a talent extrapolator sound bite. Bang, it's not 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:27.840 the art ark. No, that's not a talent extrapolating sound whatsoever? 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.560 That you found an art fork? Yeah, like week Giant 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.280 Cricket found. Well, Brianne found what of course she did. Honestly, 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.640 it could be anything. She says it's an art ark. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.760 I don't know. She's just whistling and right, who knows. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.280 We're just trusting Brianna. Give me a platypus so I 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.080 don't know. That sounds like a ring tone that no 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.280 one wants to use on the iPhone. That's that's the 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.040 ring tone when you're bitter ex girlfriend calls you. I 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.639 would imagine more to something like a hard yard R 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.960 says its own name. It's like Scooby doo. I'm pretty 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:11.560 sure we're off the rails. Okay, anyway, let's get back 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.960 to the take a chance and me quarterbacks Matt Ryan 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.400 Tannehill is might take a chance on me QB. So far, 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:23.000 through four games, Tannel has their own touchdown passes nine times, 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.520 nine times nine He's only thrown one interception in that span. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.760 So far through five games, the Texans have you given 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:38.680 up a touchdown pass nine times? What we're really off 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.320 the rails? The Texans have yet to force an interception 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.600 this year. Uh In their two meetings last year, he 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.000 threw from multiple scores in both games and added a 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.920 rushing touchdown. This is a good matchup for Tannehill. Andy 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.040 Dalton will drop back to pass. He looks left, there's 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.520 Amari Cooper. He looks right, there's Michael Gallup. Crossing across 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.600 the middle of the field. Here's CD Lamb or dump 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.240 off to Dalton Schultz or coming out of the backfield. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.880 One of the best past catching running backs Ezekiel elliott 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.560 I thought you were gonna say Tony Pollard and or 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.160 Tony Pollard Adalton to a Dalton connection. They will stretch 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.320 a thin secondary for at the Arizona that is outmatched 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.600 at every spot. And if you're under the misconception that 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:25.439 Patrick Peterson is still a shutdown cornerback. Closier, clamshell, flip phone, 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.280 go to the shelf, pick up a world book, Encyclopedia, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.120 leave through the pages until you get to you will 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.760 not see a picture. Patrick Peterson, in particular, Dallas is 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.800 most reliable receiver. Ceedee Lamb's got an awesome matchup in 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.320 the slot. Every quarterback to face the Cardinals has thrown 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.440 a touchdown. Most of them have thrown more than one. 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.199 Let's go to the running back position, Brian Uh, we 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:47.760 didn't think it would be this deep at this point, 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.560 but DeAndre Swift is a deep pull but I'm going there. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.480 He's at at Jacksonville. Uh not getting medin carries. DeAndre 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.520 Swift is, but he has been active in the passing 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.440 game at least four catches and two of his last 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.679 three games with the received touchdown during that span, and 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.879 he's been seeing usage as a slot receiver and that 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.320 should ramp up um and Swift ranks third among all 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.320 running backs and yards per route run on non screenplays, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.160 only behind Alvin Kamara and Green Bay's Aaron Jones. Opposing 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.800 running backs are averaging more than six catches per game 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.200 against the Jags, who are also yielding the second most 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.480 red zone targets to running backs and elite g p 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.800 P play in daily is DeAndre Swift. I got Leonard 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.280 four Net, who did not practice at all in Week 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.879 five leading up to their Thursday night game against the Bears. 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.000 He was active in that game though, and he played 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.359 one snap now this week, one whole snap. Hey, they 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.679 put him on the field. That means something, right, It 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.600 means a little bit of health. Um. This week he's 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.080 been limited and practice still at that ankle injury, but 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.680 it's all but assumed he's gonna play. And because we've 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.080 seen two straight weeks of one yard output from Ronald Jones, 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.000 it's time for Bruce arians to be Bruce arians, mess 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.119 with our minds and put four Net up to for 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.919 another big game for an has caught seven of his 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.479 eight targets out of the backfield this year, and this 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.720 week he gets a Packers team that is allowing almost 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.520 eight catches and seventy yards per game to opposing backs 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.800 out of the backfield. If this game turns into a 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.359 shootout and Brady is forced to throw, it seems like 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.080 the Bucks trust for Net to be the back on 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.000 the field to help protect Brady and passing situations and 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:19.760 get a few dump offs here and there. So I 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:21.959 like him to be the top scoring back in Tampa 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.040 this week. I'm gonna build off of Brian's case for 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.520 a Lions running back, and that's Adrian Peterson. His usage 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.440 is tied directly to the team's success. When the Lions 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.879
