00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchy and my co host today

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, let's go

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: down charts treatings. We are near the playoffs, nearing the playoffs,

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and that means that every game means that much more. Yes,

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: except for the people who are way out of playoff contention.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: They're not listening now, they're out, they're not listening anyway,

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: so we're not even talking to them. So just to

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you guys who are listening, our stuff means a lot,

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: that's right. You know, if you're a three win operation

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: at this stage, you're not listening to this podcast. Maybe maybe,

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean they should, And you know, really, that's one

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: of the beauties of the Guillotine League. When you get chopped,

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: you don't have to pretend you care, like you know,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: you got a three win team right now in December,

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: you don't care, but you have to go through the

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: charade that you care. I should really make like a

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: waiver wire move because I've moved two guys on I

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: try to put in a starting line up. Yeah, I

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: was in two this year. One I'm still in and

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: the other one cut in week one. Wow. The truth is,

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: you cannot lose in the Gay Team League. I've talked

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: about this for to three years? Are you kidding? You

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: cannot lose. You either win or you either win the

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: guille Team League or you win extra free times. It's

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: a bonus win win. You can't lose. I love it.

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Of the course of the show, we're gonna break down

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: all the matchups fantasy style with letter grades and all

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the players that matter. Will take a chance on nine

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: different players. We'll answer three tough questions, and as we

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: usually do in December, we will retire premature speculation. But

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna fill that time by giving you some of

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: our favorite Dynasty Empire League stashes instead. There we go,

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll you'll still get some good data out

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: of that. In the final segment of the show, we

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: begin with the Cardinals taking on the Bears. Matt and

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray expected to be back at the Helm for

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, it's still a really weird gross game. Though.

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins I kind of lump them together.

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Both have been limited in practice, Murray with the ankle,

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Hopkins with the hammy. Both are reported as moving around

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: pretty well. Uh, Kyler, like you said, looks like he's

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: going to play. Easier for him to overcome an ankle

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: injury than a hamstring for DeAndre Hopkins. So I'll give

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Kyler a B grade. Here is Chicago's past defense has

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: actually been okay. If for some reason, Kyler does not go,

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: we downgrade all of the receivers a full letter grade here. Conversely,

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: if DeAndre Hopkins is active, I'm also going to downgrade

52
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: all the wide receivers a full letter grade. So like

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: if I gave Christian Kirk a B right now and

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: both are and Hopkins was active and Kyler was not,

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk would be on the bench. Here's how we

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: do it. Christian Kirk gets a sea after after all that,

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the Bears have bad corners, but the best dish has

58
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: been Xavier Crawford, who operates from the slot. That's where

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Kirk spends three quarters of his time. A J green,

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: I'll throw a se on as well, he'll mostly line

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: up against Artie Burns, who covered for the injured Duke

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: Shelley last week and allowed fifty five yards in a

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: score in his coverage. And I think they finally have

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: benched Kindle vildor. Yeah, he's a starter, which is too

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: bad because we love picking on him every show. I

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: think we just love to say Kindle. Oh, yeah, he's

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: an open and shut book. And you know we've had

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: every every possible I think book reference. Yeah. Uh. A. J.

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Green has seen at least five targets and four of

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: his last five games as well. And ron Dale Moore

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: he saw eleven targets in Week eleven with Hopkins out,

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: but that was kind of the season outlier on him.

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: I'll throw a C grade on him, seeing is how

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: we can downgrade it to bench if Hopkins place zach Ertz,

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: I'll give him a C grade as well. In san

76
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: zach Ertz played against the Bears and had one hundred

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: and three yards and a score. In twenty nineteen, Zackert's

78
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: played against the Bears and had one hundred and three

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: yards and a score. It is an odd number years,

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: so hundred and three yards of the score right here. Uh,

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: so the Bears have been They've been okay against the

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: tight end there, ranking in top ten interceptions, yards and

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to the tight end, so they've been pretty good. Uh. Finally,

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds still on i R with the ankle injury.

85
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: James Conner should see at least fifteen carries in this

86
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: game so we can safely put him on a touchdown to.

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Since Week five, the Bears have allowed to touch down

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: to every running back who has had at least fifteen

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: carries in a game, except for Jamal Williams and Thanksgiving

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: last week, so Connor gets a B on the Bear side.

91
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: It's really gross. Justin fields just downgraded to doubtful on Friday,

92
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: meaning that Andy Dalton is going to probably start in

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: this one. You should not start him against the Cardinals

94
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: who are only allowing two hundred one yards and one

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: touchdown a game to opposing quarterbacks and almost all of

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: his wide receivers are hurt. Alan Robinson hasn't practiced this

97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: week with a hamstrings. Marquis Goodwin didn't practice Wednesday with

98
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: rib and foot injuries. Cole Commett didn't go either with

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: a groin injury. Darnell Mooney is the only one you

100
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: can really play. He gets just a C grade. The

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Cards are allowing the fifth fewest receptions and yards to

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers though, so it's just a C grade

103
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: for Mooney. And finally David Montgomery, he gets the Scott

104
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Fish volume C. Yeah, the only hope for the Bears

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: is to hold the time of possession. The good news

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the Cards are allowing four point seven yards per carry

107
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: on the year. The bad news the Cards have only

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: allowed four touchdowns all season two runners, and the game

109
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: scripts have not favored runners all years. The Cards are

110
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: only seeing an average of seventeen rushing attempts per game.

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Giants taking on the Dolphins.

112
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: This is a brutal game with fel like I feel

113
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: like every one of my matchups, by the way, I'm like,

114
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: oh god started until you get the Giants. Dolphins, start

115
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense, Well, you actually do start defense. Giants

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: are gonna be without their starting quarterbacks and two receivers

117
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: in this game. And there's nobody in the passing game

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: to play here, absolutely none, absolutely none. If if you

119
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: are really in a penchion, need to take a dart,

120
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: throw it might be Tony because he got thirteen targets

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: from Glennon and the last one if he goes. If

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: he goes, he's it's not expected to play. So uh yeah,

123
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: and Shepherd's not expected to play. He had like Miami's terrible,

124
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: gets a slot and he's not gonna go. Like there

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: were options, just it just didn't come together for the Giants.

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: Nothing in the passing game. Barkley, I am giving the

127
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: B grade too, though they they leaned on the run

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: heavily in that other Glennon game, giving over twenty I

129
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: think it was twenty four touches to the running backs.

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Uh and Glennon only passed it twenty five times in

131
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: that in that first the first Glenning game. So I'm

132
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: giving Barkley a B grade here. He has ten catches

133
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: in a two games back. Um, I saw this. I

134
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: saw the stat the other day. Barkley hasn't topped six

135
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: yards rushing since twenty nineteen, that by the way, and yes,

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: seven yards by the way. I tweeted it this week,

137
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: so I thought he hasn't. It's been since Week four

138
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: since he scored a touchdown. It's been since since he's tapped.

139
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I think with the volume plus the likelihood of four

140
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to five catches, I gotta be great on him, though.

141
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: That's you're way more optimistic than I am. I am. Actually,

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I OpEd it with I feel better about it with Glennon,

143
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: and then I would have with Daniel Jones. Uh on

144
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the two on the Miami side. On the two A side,

145
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm given to a C grete. The Giants held out

146
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Hurts last week, but he was hurt a little. And uh,

147
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: they've they've been more than more like middle of the

148
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: road defense against quarterbacks over the last six two has

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: looked really solid. Uh. He's second in the NFL in

150
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: a completion person manage over that span. UM. In those

151
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: six games, he has twelve touchdowns, so two per game,

152
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: averaging about two and fifty yards per game. Uh. If

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Gaskin would stop taking wildcat snaps at the goal line,

154
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: maybe two, it would get a few more points. But

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: I gotta c grade on him a grade for Jalen Waddle,

156
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: it's hard not to give him his due at this point.

157
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: He's on pace to break An Kwon Bolden's rookie record

158
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: for receptions. He's averaging about nine targets, six catches, seventy

159
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: five yards per game. With Parker and Fuller unlikely to

160
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: play as well, he's still going to be just about

161
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: the only guy in town. Uh So, I do have

162
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: an A grade on Waddle. I just think double digit targets.

163
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Waddle is entering Rookie of the Year conversations right now,

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: and Jamaar Chase is handing that five games have not

165
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: been spectacular for Chase. Uh Gasicky, I have a C

166
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: grade on him. He had a quiet day against Carolina

167
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: last week and what should have been a decent spot

168
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Becausecki basically plays jumper wide receiver a jumble wide receiver

169
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: role and had forty eight plus yard in the five

170
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: previous games to that, Giants just gave up really really

171
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: good days to Gronk and waller Um and they're they're

172
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: mostly average against the position. Obviously grade there. In the

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: running game, Philip Lindsay I actually kind of liked this

174
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: week until now he's turned up with an injury and

175
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: he's doubtful to play, So it's gonna be all x.

176
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay had twelve carries last week. If he's not there,

177
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Gaskin is just gonna get more volume. What do you

178
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: think it says about Miles Gaskin on but you know,

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: on less than a week with the team, they gave

180
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay twelve touches. Yeah, the fact that they signed

181
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: him says something, and Lindsay responded with, Hey, I'm gonna

182
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a good game on an on an

183
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: even numbered week this time, I'm gonna kick that. Uh.

184
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on Gaskin. The Giants d

185
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: checks in at fifth worst against fantasy running backs. They've

186
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: allowed over a hundred fifty total yards per game. That's

187
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: good for fourth most, seventh most rushing yards, fourth most

188
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: passing yards. A lot of the position. As we know,

189
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: gasking can catch passes and those wildcat runs at the

190
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: goal line. He's getting a lot of goal line opportunity.

191
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on him, a much stronger

192
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: than be grade than I do on Barkley. Go good.

193
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you on that. The time has come.

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Javante Williams is going to be the starting running back

195
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. Man. I'm glad that you brought this

196
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: up right after Myles Gaskin, because I got a choice

197
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: between those two in the league this week. Chart what

198
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Charter gonna do. What is the fantasy community gonna do?

199
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: If Mike Boon that's the is he might, it would

200
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: be very frustrating. Uh. Javonte Williams Melvin Gordon not expected

201
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: to play in this game. He's officially doubtful. Let's you know,

202
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: and the people who are doubtful do not play. So

203
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams as the starter. He's been really I Popping

204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: Lee good to this point. But Melvin Gordon has been

205
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: good enough to make sure that Williams isn't getting requisite

206
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: work to make can a safe start on a weekend

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: and week out basis. Until now, catch is this has

208
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: turned into a really good Chiefs run defense. They're allowing

209
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest rushing yards on the third fewest carries,

210
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: and they haven't given up a touchdown by land Sea

211
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: or Air in seven games to a running back. How

212
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: did they get one by c touchdowns? You're gonna find

213
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: out a Monday night. With the Weather game coming on

214
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Monday night. I'm excited to talk to you about that

215
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: game when we get there later on. So I've got

216
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: to be grade on Williams. In an easier matchup, I

217
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: would love to give him an A grade. What's gonna

218
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: be fun is think of all of next year's preseason

219
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: prediction articles that are going to talk about Javonte Williams.

220
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: They're all gonna reference this one game as a starter

221
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: that he had, you know, in the one game to six.

222
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: That's right in that one when yards a year, right,

223
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: So be great on Javonte Williams. Hoping for greatness, but

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm subduing my expectations a little bit. The entire passing

225
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: games on the bench, Teddy Bridgewater is thrown zero or

226
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: one touchdown in four straight games. The return of Jerry Judy,

227
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: you would think that that would help the passing game,

228
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: but all that's done is take a meager number of

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: completions and divide them by another set. It's destroyed everybody,

230
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: including Tim Patrick, who had been as totally bankable, totally

231
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: dried up. Sutton's no good, Judy's killed us. So Judy

232
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: hasn't scored all year, and Grantity missed a bunch of

233
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: the season, but still um Patrick's last two games fourteen

234
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: and twenty six yards no offense has devolved into a

235
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: spot starter and this is not the spot Kansas City

236
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: secondaries red hot over the past six games, Kansas City

237
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: is allowing just two three passing yards and one touchdown

238
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: per game. So that's it for the passing game on

239
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: the bench. Let's go over to Kansas City. I am

240
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: excited for what I believe will be a very big

241
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: game from Clyde Edwards Hilaire. The Brocos are clearly feeling

242
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: the absence of Von Miller and L and A. J. Johnson.

243
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: Over the past four games. They're allowing the most rushing

244
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: yards at a league high five point six yards per

245
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: carry to opposing backs. And it'll get even worse if

246
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: Shelby Harris misses this game. He's Pro Football Focus his

247
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: seventh best run defending interior alignement, and he's questionable to

248
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: go in this one. And remember, in Clyde Edwards Hilayer's

249
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: last three full games, he's averaging one hundred total yards

250
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: and he scored twice in those three games. A grade

251
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edwards Hilaiyer. I just want to mention he's

252
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: he's had the flu this week. You do not expect

253
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: that to be a problem by Sunday's expected to be

254
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: past that. Just for uh Patrick mahomes Man, I I

255
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: really struggled with the letter grade on Patrick Mahomes. Let's

256
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: talk it through together. Dud games and four of the

257
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: last five games for Mahomes. And when I say dud,

258
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean dud other than that Raiders game with four

259
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: hundred yards and four touchdowns. Going back since Week six,

260
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: October sevente was a long time ago, he's had one

261
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: good game since them. In all the others, Patrick Mahomes

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: is averaging two twenty six yards and half of one

263
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. God, that's I just traded Mahomes for

264
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: a J. Brown in the league. Man it wow, that's amazing. Um.

265
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: He threw just one touchdown in both of the Denver

266
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: meetings last year, and that was when Denver's defense was

267
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: reeling with injury. Defense is better. Denver hasn't surrendered more

268
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: than two touchdown passes to any quarterback this year. They

269
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: on the second best opponent completion percent. It's just C

270
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: grade on Patrick. Would anybody be surprised if he threw three? No? No,

271
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: it's Patrick Mahomes. But we now have so much data

272
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: on this that you just can't feel like that's something

273
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: that's bankable anymore. Let's talk about his receivers and I

274
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: want to begin with Travis Kelsey. This is a tricky

275
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: matchup Denvers allowing the fourth fewest Fantasy points to tight ends.

276
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: No opposing tight end is finished in the top twelve

277
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: in any game against Denver this year, and that includes

278
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Darren Waller Mark Andrews. They did not crack the top twelve.

279
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelsey has dropped six passes in the past

280
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: four games. That is the most over the last four

281
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. BE grade for Travis Kelsey. If

282
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: you played a different position, it probably a C grade.

283
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm still maintaining an A grade on Tyreek Hill. In

284
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: the last four meetings, He'll scored four times, which is

285
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: pretty good considering Patrick Mahomes has only scored five touchdowns

286
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: in those four games. He'll commanded a league high forty

287
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: eight targets over his last four games. Because that volume

288
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: is there, I'm keeping the A grade on Tyreek Hill.

289
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: You'll go up against rookie cornerback Patrick Certain for the

290
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: first time. Uh in Certain it's actually stam sur Tan's career.

291
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: But guarding Hill for the first time is a daunting task.

292
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna go advantage Tyreek Hill and I'm

293
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep the A grade on him sitting on the bench,

294
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, because once Clyde Edwards comes back, we're gonna

295
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: see Williams go right back to the low usage he

296
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: had before when Clyde Edwards a layer was healthy earlier

297
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: in the season. It's yet another bye week. You need

298
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: help with a couple of pivotal positions, maybe even the

299
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: tight end. We will tell you nine guides upon whom

300
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: you can take a chance. Many of these players available

301
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, and at least one tight end

302
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: to give you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

303
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me nine players not normally a

304
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: new starting lineup. Any of these guys are available on

305
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. We begin at the quarterback position and

306
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Scott Fish. I'm going with Carson Wentz. He's had multiple

307
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns in seven of his last nine. The two he

308
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: didn't were against the Bills Pasty and the recently really

309
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: really stout Jags past defense. Uh So, the Texans are

310
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: middle of the road against quarterbacks, but went went to

311
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: twenty three and two last time, which kicked off a

312
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: stretch of qbs going for three or more multiple scores

313
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: uh like four times against the Texans after that, So

314
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: Carson wentz al Right, I like it, Matt, you'll take

315
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: a chance to be quarterback. My all might take a

316
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: chance of me. Players will be on the spelling test

317
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: this week. We start with Jimmy Garoppolo two two peas.

318
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: I was surprised when I looked it up. He's only

319
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: thrown three career touchdown passes against the Seahawks in five games.

320
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: Seattle's defense is looking absolutely brutal right now, and Deebo

321
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: Samuel is out, So why Jimmy G here? Yes, I'm

322
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: curious about that. The Niners did figure out something in

323
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the first meeting. Is the combo platter of Jimmy G

324
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance managed to throw for three, two and

325
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: three against Seattle earlier this year. Garoppolo was injured in

326
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: that game and missed the next two weeks. In the

327
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: six games since returning, Jimmy G has posted to yard

328
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: games and multiple touchdown passes and three of his last four.

329
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: And with Deebo out, I think it forces the Niners

330
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: and to be more of a traditional offense. Run the

331
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: ball with Mitchell, passed the ball with Jimmy. I'm gonna

332
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: go with him this week, Tyrod Taylor d it depending

333
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: on who you ask. Taylor takes on the Colts and

334
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: while granted they haven't had there buy yet, but the

335
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: Colts are surrendered the most passing touchdowns while allowing opposing

336
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for multiple touchdowns in eight different games this year.

337
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: So Taylor may help you through the air here, but

338
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: also on the ground. We've seen other comparable mobile quarterbacks

339
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence average

340
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry against the Colts. If Taylor is

341
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: gonna get seven yards per carry and he gets seven

342
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: nine eleven carries, you know suddenly we're looking at a

343
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: easy fifty yard game for Taylor. I'm just on the ground.

344
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: So combine that together, there's your starter. It's fun fact

345
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: on Taylor multiple touchdowns in every game he's played this

346
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: year between ground and air. I think not by sea.

347
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: You didn't put the scooping touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, let's

348
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: go to here take a chance, I mean running back

349
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: Scott I'm going with Sony Michelle up against the Jaguars defense.

350
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: It's not the best the matchups. It's the middle of

351
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: the road matchup that's gotten better over over recent weeks.

352
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: But Darryl Henderson is dealing with a hip injury, and

353
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's a lot of concern he'll play,

354
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: and if he does play, concern that a lot of

355
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: concern he won't play. But if he does go, he

356
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: might be on a little bit of a snap count.

357
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars are allowing nearly thirty touches per game

358
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: to running backs. This is a game where the Rams

359
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: might get ahead to and run the ball with Sony

360
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Michelle to run out that clock. I see Sony with

361
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: ten plus touches. Whether whether Henderson goes or not, I

362
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: like see Gray there. Let's go to Matt and you're

363
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back. The second word

364
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: in the spelling test is use check, as in Kyle

365
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: use check. This is probably my boldest take a chance

366
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: in me call of the year. If he scores once,

367
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm golden in this one. If he scores twice, I

368
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: get to go into the John t V. Take a

369
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: chance on me Hall of Fame. You I don't know,

370
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: yeah from file use check corse four times. You definitely

371
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: catch h Kyle J has caught a pass in every

372
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: game this year. Uh deebo. Samuel will miss this game.

373
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: As I mentioned that vacates about nine targets per game,

374
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: but in a sneaky way, it's also vacating rushing attempts

375
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: as he comes out of the backfield a ton, and

376
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: Samuel's last three games he's ran the ball nineteen times.

377
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: They need to not only replace him as a wide

378
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: receiver but a weapon out of the backfield. So why not, Kyle?

379
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are allowing the most receptions to running backs,

380
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: the most receiving yards to running backs, and the most

381
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: total touches per game to the position. They can't give

382
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell thirty two carries again, Kyle use Check is

383
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna get some use in this game. Check that yep,

384
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders is back, but that doesn't mean Boston South

385
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: suddenly not gonna get carries. And they've give him plenty

386
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: of work even in Sanders games. And they're going up

387
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: against the Jets. They ranked last in rush defense, last

388
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: in rushing touchdowns allowed, twenty six yards per carry, and

389
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: no team is running the ball more than the Eagles

390
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: since Week seven. Granted a lot of that's Jalen Hurts

391
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: every time Boston Scott is mentioned on this show. I

392
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: want Scott to do a Boston accent from now on.

393
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Can you say Chowder? Okay, let's go. Let's let's go

394
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: over to the receivers that could be wide receivers and

395
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: or tight ends. Scott, who you got chowder? Russell Gauge

396
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which was an

397
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: easier matchup earlier in the year, but they're still not

398
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: great against wide receivers. Over the less two weeks, Gage

399
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: has fifteen targets, leading the team the leading the team's

400
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers in targets, catches, and yards. I say wide

401
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: receivers because Cordil Patterson I'm kind of running back for

402
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: this specific statistic. Um. He's had five to six cards,

403
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: catches and fifties and sixty plus yards in four of

404
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: his last five games with and he's scored in a

405
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: couple of them. Still, uh, it's it's just good matchups

406
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: grade on him too. All right, Matt, you're a receiver. Well,

407
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: I happen to know it's a tight end. Well. The

408
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: final guy in the spelling test is c j Uzoma,

409
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: and the US has popped off for a few big

410
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: days this year, they've all come against porous tight end defenses,

411
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: and the Chargers fit that bill this week. Last week,

412
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos tight end Eric Salbert scored Albert. The week

413
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: before Eric Ebron and Pat friar Muth each scored for

414
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and the week before that, Tyler Conklin scored

415
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: twice for the Vikings. Against the Chargers. They're averaging almost

416
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: one tight end score per game and have allowed the

417
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: second most scores in the league to the position. Foster

418
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: Moreau is probably the best backup tight end of the league.

419
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: And you may recall in the preseason we said if

420
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: there's one tight end you're gonna hand come we've talked

421
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: about for a couple of years. We are. We're big

422
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau. Fans uh. That was your handcuff to have

423
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: Moreau filled in for Darren Waller once earlier this year.

424
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: And here's what happened in that game. Moreau was on

425
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: the field for every single snap. He ran routes on

426
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: thirty two of thirty seven passing plays. They targeted him

427
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: six times. He caught all six passes for sixty yards

428
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. And every tight end who's been targeted

429
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: five or more times against Washington has hit at least

430
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: fifty yards and or scored a touchdown. Foster Moreau. Let's

431
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: go to another matchup, Chargers taking on the Bengals, Matt

432
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: this has been an inconsistent Chargers passing game. What do

433
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: you think about Justin Herbert as he takes on a

434
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: surprisingly good Cincinnati past. I have no idea who Justin

435
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Herbert is, but their quarterback Air Bear. He's not scared

436
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: to go up against the Bengals, certainly not. Air Bear

437
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: is thrown for multiple scores and four of his last

438
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: five and for over three hundred and three of his

439
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: last five. Both Mike White and Baker Mayfield through for

440
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: multiple scores against this defense in the last month, but

441
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: they did hold Derek Carr and Big Ben in check

442
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. Should we give him an

443
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: A grade for Air or a B grade for Bear?

444
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: Or maybe we split the difference and give him something

445
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: in between those two bad like an A B grade.

446
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: I'll just give him a B and thank you. Mike

447
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Williams will face Eli Apple most often in this one.

448
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: He's the bengals worst cover corner according to Pro Football

449
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: folk US It's tough to feel a lot of faith

450
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: in Williams right now, after hitting double digit PPR points

451
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: only once in his last six games, after accomplishing that

452
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: feat in four of his first five this year. Last

453
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: week in Denver, he didn't score, but did have eight targets,

454
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: his highest mark since Week five. So I'll take a

455
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: stand and I'm gonna throw a hopeful B grade on

456
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: Mike Williams this this week. It's that that is not

457
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: panned out more often than not. It's a hopeful B grade,

458
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: which is something like the grade alright, Keenan Allen gets

459
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: a solid B grade. Uh, slot corner known as a

460
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: B grade. How's interrupting me? Chart? Geez? Uh slot corner.

461
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: Mike Hilton has been very good this year, but Allen

462
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: has been to ten or more targets in five straight

463
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: games and double digit PPR points in every game this season,

464
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Uh. Jared Cook and the rest of

465
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends are on the bench. Somehow, They're now

466
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: targeting four tight ends in this offense. And while Cook

467
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: leads the team and looks at four or five targets

468
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: per game, you need to score and Parum gets as

469
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: many red zone targets is just gross. Austin Ekeler. He

470
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: does get an A grade though. The Bengals have been

471
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: decent against the run game, but their bottom five in

472
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards allowed to opposing running backs. That

473
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: an average of seven catches and fifty five yards per game.

474
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: That's right Neckler's wheelhouse over to the other side. Chart.

475
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you get a button ready because Joe

476
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: Mixon he gets this week's fantasy art Vark. Joe Mixon. Yeah,

477
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: thirty one touches per game since the bye week, dang uh,

478
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and the Chargers have allowed the most rushing yards and

479
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: the second most touchdowns to the running back position. It's

480
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a big Joe Mason. I think he's my

481
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: number one ranked running back this week. Well, that's that's

482
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: how you get an art Vark rading uh c j

483
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Uzoma was might take a chance on the receiver Joe Burrow.

484
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm only giving a C grade two. He hasn't topped

485
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and four straight, has thrown two touchdown

486
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: passes in his last three games. And you don't pass

487
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: on the Chargers, you run on the Chargers, which is

488
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: why the Chargers are top five and passing attempts, completions,

489
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: and yards As a defense only allowing two eighteen yards

490
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: per game plus tackle. Riley Reef is not a percent

491
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: and may not go with an ankle injury. Jamaar Chase

492
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: and Tee Higgins gets c grades in this one. Chase

493
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: hasn't topped fifty yards in five weeks, Higgins has scored

494
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points than three of their last four. Both

495
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 1: get a little break though, as Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.

496
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Is looking like he's gonna miss this week with concussion. Still,

497
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Michael Davis and Tavon Campbell have been very capable this year,

498
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: and as I said, people just run on the Chargers,

499
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: so I think it's pretty low volume here. By the way,

500
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd is on the bench, he draws Chris Harris

501
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: from the slot. That's a that's the worst matchup and

502
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: he's the worst of the three wide receivers. We're not

503
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: normally starting Tyler Boyd anyway, so that's okay. When we

504
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: come back, we will dive into more matchups, including Colts

505
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: versus Texans. Sure Jonathan Taylor is an obvious start here.

506
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: We know that Scott Fish likes Carson Wentz so hot.

507
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Which of the re sievers is gonna get beyond the

508
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: receiving end of all of those scores. I think you

509
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: promised four touchdowns for Carson Wentz a personal guarantee. We'll

510
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we come back. In

511
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: addition to breaking down the backup running backs between the

512
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: Vikings and Lions, both of whom are in key roles

513
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: this week, all of that and more Fantasy Football Weekly

514
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: returns in moments. This is the final segment of our

515
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: number one of our two hour journey into Fantasy football

516
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: and Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charge and Scott Fish and

517
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison with you if you want to follow Scott

518
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: Fish on Twitter at Scott Fish twenty four. Matt Harrison

519
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: is at explosive output and I am at Paul Charge.

520
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: In Boom Colts take on the Texans, Scott Jonathan Taylor

521
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: goes without saying he's an obvious start, and uh, there's

522
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: no scenario under which you would not start him. But

523
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: more about the passing game, sure, Uh, Carson Wentz obviously

524
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: was my take a chance on me quarterback. So in

525
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: the passing game, you'd think I'd like a lot more

526
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: players than. Yes, I would, but I have a B

527
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: grade on Michael Pittman. He held was held down a

528
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: little bit by the Bucks last week because the touchdowns

529
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: some for some reason went to Hilton, t Y Hilton,

530
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: and Ashton Dolon. Uh a Dynasty Metrics favorite from a

531
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: couple of years. Okay, yeah he was yeah writing that. Uh,

532
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: he's still crushed in target share though he's getting over

533
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: eight per game. The top receiver usually goes for seventy

534
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: five plus on the Texans. Texans and usually scores. So

535
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: I got that from Michael Pittman. As for the others,

536
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm just not trusting it. With Hilton, he scored, but

537
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: he hasn't top thirty yards in his last four games.

538
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: All the rest are super inconsistent. It's gonna be Pittman,

539
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Hinds getting some catches. It's gonna be

540
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Taylor getting some catches Whenzi'll get there. But we don't

541
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: know exactly where it's gonna go. You mentioned Taylor was

542
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: the obvious a his last three lines against the Texans.

543
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: I just want to put these out there, five and

544
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: one and one and two. Geez, those are honestly he's

545
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: better now than he was then. On the other side

546
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: of the ball, Taylor was he was. So you think

547
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I'd like a lot of the wide receivers of it,

548
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: one of them because a lot of a lot of

549
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: the reason I like Taylor was first rushing, Yes, exactly.

550
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: He gets you two to three points rushing every week.

551
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: No matter what, you'll get more than that. Yeah, I

552
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: do like do like Cooks. I got a C grade

553
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: on him. He scored last week to save his fantasy

554
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: day because his targets had dried up a little bit.

555
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: With Taylor only throwing at twenty four and twenty six

556
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: times in the last two weeks, which is gonna tank

557
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: tank them. But Cooks over the season and especially recently

558
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: end up until that two game stretch, had been getting

559
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: eight to ten targets. I figure him to come back

560
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: a little more in that range. With them falling behind

561
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: the Colts in this one. Uh see, great on Cook's

562
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: I have a bench grade on Collins. He got the

563
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: first two targets and catches of the game last week

564
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: and then the last target of the day and nothing

565
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: to between. I can't trust that into the running game.

566
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: I have them both on the bench. It becomes a

567
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: little more interesting. If David Johnson doesn't go bad become

568
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: absolutely plausible. Plug in. Yeah, the last two weeks, rex

569
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Burke had went eighteen carries for forty yards and twelve

570
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: for I believe twenty two yards or twelve or twenty eight.

571
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: So if you want twenty carries for maybe fifty or

572
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: sixty yards, Burke head bike and to see but two

573
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: yards per carries? What if Johnson doesn't go rex Burke

574
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: had doesn't even get my volume. See I'm that low

575
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: on Burke hand. Wow, Bikings take on the Lions. Alexander

576
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: Madison will be your starting running back. He was a

577
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy running back in the two full games

578
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: he's already played in place of Dalvin Cook, and he's

579
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: averaged in those two games. He averaged thirty two touches

580
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: per game, and one of them was against the Lions.

581
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Earlier the Lions, it was good for hundred fifty three yards.

582
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: In a grade on Alexander Madison in this one. Let's

583
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: go over to the passing game or justin Jefferson is

584
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: an obvious a over one hundred yards in his last

585
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: two match ups with Detroit, including one twenty four yards

586
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: in the earlier meeting. He's become one of Fantasy Football's

587
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: safest wide receiver plays. A grade for Jefferson, B great

588
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: for Adam Theelan in a far trickier start than Jefferson's.

589
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: Over his last four games against Detroit, Theland's averaging just

590
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: forty yards and only one score in those four games,

591
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: including the one earlier this year, which was just two

592
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: catches of for forty yards. That's not good. Uh fortunately,

593
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: does come into this game hot at least five catches

594
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: and a seventy one yard average over his last three games.

595
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: He's also found the end zone in five of the

596
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: last six, which is great and touchdowns obviously always helped.

597
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: But oddly enough, the Lions do a good job at

598
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: keeping receivers out of the end zone, allowing just one

599
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: touchdown to wide receivers in the last month Detroit. And

600
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: that brings us to Kirk Cousins and you can probably

601
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: see this coming a little bit a B grade here.

602
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: The Lions are shockingly competent against the past. The last

603
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks to face the Lions are averaging just two

604
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: hundred twelve yards and zero point eight touchdowns. The Lions

605
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: granted Cousins is way better than any of the guys

606
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: that they faced in that last month. But in the

607
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Week five matchup, Cousins was good for a very modest

608
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: two yards in one score. That was it. Still Jefferson

609
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: and Theland dramatically better than anybody they'll face in the

610
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: Lions secondary, and they should on paper do well here,

611
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: so I'm keeping a B grade on Kirk Cousins. Let's

612
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: go over to the Detroit side of this game. Another

613
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: backup running back, Jamal Williams, will get virtually all of

614
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: the work here. You got almost every touch on Thanksgiving

615
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: after DeAndre Swift went down. The Vikings just got hammered

616
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: by Elijah Chill. They're giving up the most yards per

617
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: carry in the NFL, but they do get both of

618
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: their starting defensive tackles back, including key runs stuffer Michael Pierce,

619
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: who's missed two months of time. He'll he is expected

620
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: to play in this game. Minnesota's allowed of rushing touchdown

621
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: in seven of the past eight games, and I think

622
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Williams does find the end zone here and a B

623
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: grade on him. The only part of the passing game

624
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: that I'm giving a starting grade two is t J

625
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: Hockenson and it's a bit's it's a seed that I

626
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: had as a bench for a long time. Only there

627
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: is something less than a sea. But there's not a

628
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: letter between C and bench. I mean it's there a

629
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: Harpoons kind of a Vikings fantastic against tight ends, allowing

630
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: one touchdown to the position all year. Nobody's top forty

631
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: four yards since Week three, and athletic linebacker Anthony Barr

632
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: likely plays in this game and he'll get a lot

633
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: of the Hockinson assignments. Hockinson only managed two catches for

634
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: twenty two yards and no touchdown in the first match.

635
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm moving to the bench. That's it,

636
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: and the whole arrest of the passing games on the bench,

637
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't even have to talk about golf and Cliff

638
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Raymond and I'm on ross A Brown and Josh Reynolds,

639
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: including Josh Reynolds. I know we had three catches for

640
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Last name, did you see the goff record

641
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: without Sean McVeigh. Uh? Is it like two wins or something?

642
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: Two career wins zero sixteen and one? Oh man, when

643
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: did he have? What were the other So he's oh

644
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: ten and one now, right, So where were these other

645
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: six losses when Jeff Fisher was oh, back in the

646
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher days, right right? Wow, That says plenty and

647
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: maybe more about Sean McVeigh than anything else. Sean McVeigh

648
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: got Jared Goff to a super Bowl. It's amazing. That

649
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: is amazing. Let's go to one more matchup in this segment,

650
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Jets. Matt I I talked a

651
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 1: little bit about about Boston Scott, but let's talk about

652
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Jalen Hurts may very well not go

653
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: in this one. He's got the bad foot, so even

654
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: if he does play, you might not get the rushing

655
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: out of him that you desperate need. Yeah, he was

656
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: practicing this week game time decision nursing an ankle injury.

657
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: Probably not a good thing for running quarterback. Going against

658
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: the defense that hasn't allowed anything to running quarterback, It's

659
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: really easy to run against the Jets as a running back.

660
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: In the game. Scripts haven't forced quarterbacks to run much

661
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: this year. The Jets have only allowed one touchdown on

662
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: the ground to a quarterback this year, in an average

663
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: of eight rushing yards per game. Add add in Hurts injury,

664
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: and I think they'll try to keep the alley's off Hurts.

665
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna keep him in the pockets, So I'm

666
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna give him just a C grade. He's gonna have

667
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: to throw. That's not his best trade. But the Jets

668
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: are allowing two seventy seven passing yards per game. UM

669
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: As far as other receivers, I'll give Davanta Smith a C.

670
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: But the rest are on the bench. Everyone hates Jalen

671
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Reagor by the way, yeah they should after the two

672
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: drop passes at the end of that game. Really h

673
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Smith is only top seventy yards once in the last

674
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: seven weeks, but has scored thrice in the last four weeks,

675
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: so that's why he gets the sea. Dallas Goddart was obsent, absent,

676
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: absent last week against the Giants, one catch for zero

677
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: yards on three targets. But I'll give him a see though,

678
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: as he was able to top sixty yards and three

679
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: of the prior five games, and the Jets are allowing

680
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: sixty yards per game two tight ends. That's the seventh most.

681
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: The running backs are just an absolute disaster. Miles Sanders

682
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: didn't play the second half of last week's game, which

683
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: led to many believe that he wouldn't play this week

684
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: because he was injured. But no, he practiced in full

685
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday, so now it looks like he's going to

686
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: play now. But ankles are tricky. Just asks Scott fish Um.

687
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: Lots of people pivoted to Boston. Scott and Charge talked

688
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: about him a little bit. He's missed every practice this

689
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: week with a non COVID illness. Jordan Howard also missed

690
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: practice with a knee injury. He looks more doubtful than questionable.

691
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: And Nick Sirianni won't give Kenny Gainewell more than three

692
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: touches per game. They faced the worst run defense in

693
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: the league their bottom seven and every statistical category against

694
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: the run, including dead last and touchdowns, with twenty one

695
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: total to running backs almost two game. Sanders, I'm gonna

696
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: give a B. If Scott is active, he gets to

697
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: see I don't think Howard goes, but if he does,

698
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: he gets yeah, okay, And and if Scott and Howard

699
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: are both inactive for this game, Miles Sanders vaults to A.

700
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Maybe Miles Sanders goes to an A. But then Kenny

701
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: Gainwell gets a harpoon in this one. Oh, I like

702
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: the sound of that. On the other side, it's the

703
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Jets harpoon. You can't start a running back on the Jets.

704
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: We all thought Ty Johnson would get some usage with

705
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: Michael Carter out, but he was third in the pecking

706
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: order last week, behind Tevin Coleman and Austin Walter. Austin

707
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Walter scored the short touchdown and Tevin, who is not good,

708
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: ended up with eighteen touches. If you have to start one,

709
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: it's probably Coleman, who saw the most targets last week,

710
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: as the Eagles have allowed the third most receptions to

711
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: running back but are good everywhere else against the run,

712
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: and you can't start anyone in the passing game either.

713
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,479
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson was able to beat the Texans last week

714
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: on one d and forty five passing yards. He's only

715
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: top the two hundred yard mark once in his last

716
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: five games. In seven total games, he's thrown four total

717
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. That takes out all the wide receivers. If

718
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: you do start one, it's Elijah Moore, who saw eight

719
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: targets last week from Wilson but could only manage four

720
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: forty six. But the deepest dart throw of them all

721
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: is Jets tight end Ryan Griffin. Griffin leads the Jets

722
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: and red zone targets with five on the season. Jets

723
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: tight end, the Jets tight ends right, thank you. The

724
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: Eagles are dead last in the league against the tight end,

725
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: the most receptions and yards and the second most touchdowns allowed. Griffin,

726
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: that's like a sixteen team tight end premium level start

727
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: right here for Ryan Griffin. If you absolutely Chris Chris

728
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: my Ark for the Giants tight end scored on the

729
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Eagles last week, if he could do it right, uh

730
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: An Tonio Brown's gonna miss three games. I've reason to

731
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: believe that brings him back Week sixteen. That is the

732
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: reason semi final week for most fantasy leagues. So he'd

733
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: be there for two of your three, you know, two

734
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: of potentially two of your three playoff games if you're

735
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: alive to that point. But do you burn a roster

736
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: spot in Antonio Brown and hold him all this time

737
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: waiting for him to come back? What do you guys

738
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: think I am in this situation in a couple of leagues,

739
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: I was, as we remember from the preseason, I thought

740
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: he was going to be the best Bucks receiver and

741
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: through six weeks you were right there. So I'm in

742
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: this situation in quite a few leagues. Uh, those those games,

743
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: I believe are the Panthers and Jets. I'm gonna look

744
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: a real quick, Yes, I'm pretty sure it's Panthers and Jets.

745
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: I kind of like that Jets matchup. Panthers matchup not

746
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: as great, but there's a lot of weapons for the Panthers,

747
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: but they're really decent on the back end. Um, he

748
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: was wide receiver six in points per game Fantasy points

749
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: per games through six weeks. If he comes back at

750
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: full health, he was gonna miss a couple of games anyway,

751
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: I think he's worth it on a championship Austar at

752
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: the back of your batch. I'm going to hold him.

753
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to hold him as well, because I think

754
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: he is. He's just he was so good before and

755
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: he should be healthy at that point, and Antonio Brown

756
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: was so good. Yeah, I wouldn't hold him. The Panthers

757
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: are actually a very good the Jets, it's gonna be

758
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: a week seven team game. They'll have already locked up

759
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: the NFC South. There's not going to be much of

760
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: a reason to get Antonio Brown. They're not gonna be

761
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. But it's also a hey, run the ball.

762
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: It's the Jets, you don't have to. That's that's Tom

763
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: Ray always it's terrible. But by the way, the Bucks

764
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: they're there. Their pass rates, even when they're blowing teams out,

765
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. They just keep passing. So if Calvin Ridley

766
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: has been dropped, are you picking him up? You know

767
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, I mean, it's he can come back any day.

768
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm that minute true. Now he could decide

769
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be bad. Falcons are not out of

770
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: the playoff race. It's not It doesn't look great, but

771
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: they're not out of it. It really depends on your team.

772
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: I have a team where he's on waivers and I

773
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: have not picked him up, So I guess answer in

774
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: that league, no, But there are other leagues where I

775
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: definitely would, So I think it's a little roster dependent,

776
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, that's what do you think about

777
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: trading for him in a dynasty league? We're at the

778
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: right now, this training deadline, a lot of weeks right here.

779
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about trading for Calvin Ridley for

780
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: next year? At what might possibly be the lowest. I

781
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: actually did trade for him last week in one of

782
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: my dynasty leagues where I'm not really competing this year.

783
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a savvy move. I believe

784
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: he is back with Atlanta next year, but beyond that

785
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: he's not, so I believe it. This is his last

786
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: year with the Falcons under contract, so makes it kind

787
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: of interesting. One second dynasty trade I saw this week

788
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: in one of my league's Austin Nuckler for Derrick Henry

789
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey. Damn, wow, it's come. It's come to

790
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: this for christ whim now for you know, two future assets,

791
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: and that is that is a that's a win. That's

792
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: that's that is a win now trade, no doubt about it.

793
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: One of the playoffs. As the playoffs are approaching for

794
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: those people that uh for league's average league has got

795
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: six teams that go to the playoffs. Right of the six,

796
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: I believe that that six teams should get in on

797
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: points score. It should not go just by record, because

798
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: so often times a very high scoring team has just

799
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: had some bad luck on who they've played. Are you

800
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: guys with me on this? Totally with you? This is

801
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: what I've done for twenty years. We have a team

802
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: in in my my home league that's four and eight

803
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: right now, but they're the third highest scoring team in

804
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the league and they deserve to be in. They deserve

805
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: to be in. And the way you know, the way

806
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: you know it's this is this is the right way

807
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: to go. If you're that one seed, who would you

808
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 1: rather face the sixth best record or the highest scoring

809
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: remaining teams? Right, you'd always want to play the sixth

810
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: best record. That's the worst tad. By the way, you

811
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: should let your teams with the higher seed to pick

812
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: their pick their opponent on the playoffs, pick your poison.

813
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I don't know, but I love it.

814
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: When we come back Fantasy Football Weekly, we will answer

821
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: segment we like to call three tough questions and we

822
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: traditionally start right here, tough question number one. We'll take

823
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: some Hill finishes a top ten quarterback eleven through fifteen

824
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: or sixteen or worse from this point forward, Scott, I'm

825
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: doing it man, top ten. I'm going top ten. The

826
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks are avaging like nineteen or more fantasy

827
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: points per game. Taysom Hill just dropped, depending on your scoring,

828
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty eight fantasy points in a game.

829
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: He looked terrible most of the game through four interceptions,

830
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: including a pick six, but his rushing gets got him there. Honestly,

831
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: you know me, Even if the rushing comes down, the

832
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: interceptions are probably gonna come down as well. He's gonna

833
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of twenty point games. He did last time,

834
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't get a rushing touchdown this He had

835
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: like five rushing touchdowns in his four full starts last

836
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: year or something four and four. Yeah, so I haven't

837
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: been in top ten, all right, Matt will Tastom Hill

838
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: finishes a top ten quarterback eleven through fifteen or sixteenth

839
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: or worse. So he did run for a hundred yards

840
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. There's only been two other quarterback one

841
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: hundred yard rushing games this year LaMarche accident in week two,

842
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: justin fields in week eight, Nope, just once. Rushing scores

843
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: are even more important. By the way, Sam Donald is

844
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: still quarterback twenty five based solely on his five rushing scores.

845
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill also has five. He's quarterback thirteen in total points.

846
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: So even if Hill is a below average passer, if

847
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: he can keep up what he does on the ground

848
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: and score a few along the way, he's going to

849
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: finish out the season in the eleven to fifteen range. Secretly,

850
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: this question actually is will take him He'll keep the

851
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: starting job because if he does, he almost can't fall

852
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: out of the top ten. This is uh, this is

853
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: has spent especially thorny question that way because his passing

854
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: is bad enough to get him benched. He'll finish is

855
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback in three of four games last year.

856
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it this week, making it four out

857
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: of five. And you think you won't have another four

858
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: interception game, which would help. But it's just so plausible

859
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: for him to get to a top ten ranking every week.

860
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: The problem is is Trevor Simeon was already benched for

861
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: his passing. I know, but Here's the thing. Simeon is

862
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: not good, but he's a better pastor than Taysom Hill is.

863
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Here's what Taysom Hill has to average to get safely

864
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: in the top ten every week. Just two d passing

865
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: yards which is nothing, one passing touchdown, fifty rushing yards

866
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: he averages in the five starts so far, he averages

867
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: sixty three and half a rushing touchdown. He's going to

868
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: do that easily most weeks. The only question you really

869
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: have to ask is will he keep the starting job?

870
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes. Tough question number two?

871
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: Who will finish as the lead back for the Dallas Cowboys,

872
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: Matt Now, does the lead back mean who's going to

873
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: have more touches this year? Yes? It does. Okay, I

874
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: don't care who gets the first touch of the game.

875
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: So just to clarify, I don't care about necessarily the start.

876
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: Penny game in the first does not lead back. It's

877
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: still Zeke. Then he had fifteen touches on Thursday Night

878
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: to Pollard's nine. There's only been one game this year

879
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: where Pollard has had more. That was Thanksgiving where Zeke

880
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: bruised his knee, and in that game, Pollard only led

881
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: fifteen to fourteen. Now we all see it. Pollard is

882
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: a better back. He's a better back. The other thing

883
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: we all see is Jerry Jones paid Zeke a bazillion

884
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: dollars and Mike McCarthy is an idiot who just keeps

885
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: feeding the ball to Zeke. So Zeke's gonna see more

886
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: touches down the stretch. He's still the lead back. No

887
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: matter how much we beg and play Scott. I have

888
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: the same thing and virtually the same stuff, It's still

889
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: going to be Zeke. For some reason. Jerry Jones runs

890
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: this team. He he is limping on the field, He

891
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: is noticeably limping and and just lumbering on the field,

892
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: and they just keep dead boys, gonna be dead boys,

893
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna keep riding Zeke for some reason. Yes,

894
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: I have almost all your talking points as well, but

895
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: I'll mention this one of the other things that's gonna

896
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: make it hard for Pollard, who's unquestionably the better back.

897
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 1: Zeke's a far better past blocker. Pro Football Focus ranks

898
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard as the league's one hundred twelve best past

899
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: blocking rock back. I did not see that one coming.

900
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Bad stuff about Pollard yeah, so, I mean I think

901
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna factor into this as well. We want this

902
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: change to come more than the team seems to want

903
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: it to come. It ought to. If they want to

904
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: give themselves the best chance to win, they should make

905
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: that change. But I don't trust three. What is the

906
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts? Is it none?

907
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott.

908
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's hurt right now, which that that should

909
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: mean some, I guess, but I'm thinking long term for

910
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: the whole rest of the season. Here. He gets the

911
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: Jets twice, he gets Washington twice, he gets the Giants

912
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: in the five fantasy relevant games he's about to play,

913
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: those are all very positive matchups. He was progressing as

914
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: a passer up until he got hurt. Um, I'm not

915
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: going to be that concerned about the injury. I really

916
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: feel like his rushing plus his passing progressing and those matchups,

917
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't have much concern. Okay, So none, Okay, all right, Matt.

918
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: Is the appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts? None?

919
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: Some or bload? Uh. He's at at least fifty rushing

920
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 1: yards in five straight. In fact, during that Spanni's averaging

921
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: sixty six point four just under a rushing score per game,

922
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: you can basically bank on ten fantasy points per game

923
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: from just a rushing standpoint. But the passing is still

924
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: really bad. Under two hundred yards and seven of his

925
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: last eight prior to that in games where he was

926
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: forced to throw against Dallas in Kansas City, he was

927
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: able to eclipse the three yard mark in both. But

928
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: after the Jets this week, probably the best thing for

929
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: him is he gets a buy next week and he

930
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: can heal up a little bit. Then he gets football

931
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: team Giants and football team again in your fantasy playoffs,

932
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: and football team has allowed the fifth most rushing yards

933
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: per game to opposing quarterbacks. They're also bottom eight in

934
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: passing yards and passing scores allowed. The Eagles are still

935
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: in playoff contention in the NFC two. I don't think

936
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: they make a change. I have no concern about Jalen Hurts.

937
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: As you know, he's been salvaging his box scores with

938
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: his running, which has been consistently good all season long,

939
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: although not as many touchdowns as you probably think. He's

940
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: only scored rushing touchdowns in four games. Yeah, but but

941
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: he has eight in those games. But sooner or later,

942
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback has to be able to pass the ball.

943
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: And he hasn't topped the meager threshold of one hundred

944
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: seventy eight passing yards in five weeks, and going back

945
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: to week five, Hurts is averaging less than one less

946
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: than one passing touchdown per game. You know what he needs,

947
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: He needs to get right type of schedule with really

948
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: easy matchups to Well, here's the funny thing. His backup

949
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: maybe getting the get right opponent this week, Gardner Minshew.

950
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: What if he starts this game and looks good against

951
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. He always looks right. Then the door opens,

952
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: so and then they're heading into the bye week. They

953
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: can prep up Minshew to be ready the week after that.

954
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: There's a scenario here, a not impossible maybe it's implausible,

955
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: but not impossible scenario where Gardner Minshew challenges Hurts for

956
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: the job as early as a few days from now.

957
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: Final I'll pick up Minshew and the Eagles are right

958
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: in the middle of the playoff hunt, and they won't

959
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: play Hurts just to get him reps. If he's not

960
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: the best quarterback. They have to play the best quarterback,

961
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: and your quarterbacks have to be able to pass at

962
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: some point, and Hurts his passing isn't there yet. The

963
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts is some Our

964
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 1: next matchup is the Bucks taking on the Falcons Scott.

965
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 1: But the Bucks Leonard Fournet with a big game last week,

966
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: what do you think about He's I canna score four times?

967
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Leonard four Nett this

968
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: week in this matchup with the Falcons. I have him

969
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: scoring five times. No, no, no, no no no. I am

970
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: a B grade on Leonard Fournett, mostly because he's a

971
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: lock for fifteen plus touches weekly. I know, I know

972
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is getting in there. He's he's but he

973
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: hasn't had more than ten touches in any game this year.

974
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: He's just scored a couple of times. You can't trust that.

975
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 1: It's a little flukey. So I have Jones on the bench.

976
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: But with four net he had seventy six yards in

977
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: the first meeting, a three score blowout, meaning he got

978
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: he got some work at the He got enough work

979
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: in a three score blowout to get seventy six yards.

980
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: The Bucks keep passing when they are up. That's a

981
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: problem for him, but he still managed that in that game.

982
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: The but the uh, sorry, excuse me, the Falcons are

983
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: allowing the eighth most yards to running backs. So I

984
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get enough to to lock in a

985
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: B grade here. Uh in the passing game, Tom Brady,

986
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: I have an A grade on as a member of

987
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I've tweeted out some of these stats. These

988
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. With Brady and Godwin against against the Atlanta Falcons.

989
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: Three games Brady has played the Falcons as a member

990
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: of the Bucks. Three yards, two touchdowns, three yards, four touchdowns,

991
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: two seventy six yards, five touchdowns. It's he's just destroying

992
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons. A grade there. Godwin also in A grade.

993
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: He's played six games against the Bucks. He's topped a

994
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards four of them, and he scored nine times

995
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: nine times in those six games. Not just nine times,

996
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: he scored in every game. He scored twice in three

997
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: of them. It's yeah, I have a B grade on Evans.

998
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't get the same volume as Godwin, but he

999
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: can explode on a dime and he scores a ton more.

1000
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: Evans buggaboo. Early in his career, doesn't score touchdowns. He

1001
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: has twenty three touchdowns in two years with Tom Brady.

1002
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: Not bad. He's got ten this Year's become consistent with it.

1003
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: B grade on Evans uh Gronk I got an A

1004
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: grade on him. Thirteen catches for nearly two hundred yards

1005
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: since he's come back from injury. Uh. He was tight

1006
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: end two before he got injured. He's tight end four

1007
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. Right back to him, Right

1008
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: back to him now that he's healthy. On the other side,

1009
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's on the bench. He's only finished as a

1010
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback twice this year. He's barely startable. He

1011
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: has one touchdown and five picks over the last three games.

1012
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: It's a good matchup, but he doesn't have really he's

1013
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 1: the offensive matchup. The Tampa Bay secondaries getting about Carl

1014
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: Davis coming back, and we talked about this earlier in

1015
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: the year that they were injured. That's why their secondary

1016
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: was bad early and this is turning into a good

1017
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: secondary again. Russell gauge I, I, he was gonna take

1018
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: a chance on me player. Uh. Dyle pits Man, what

1019
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: do you do with Kyle pits Like if he had

1020
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: two more touchdowns, he would be tight end three on

1021
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: the year. That's how ridiculous it is. He's got so many,

1022
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: but he's not. And he's got scored in one game

1023
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: this year, over over the last over the last month.

1024
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 1: Guess how many red zone targets he has. I think

1025
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: to target him a bunch, just one zone target in

1026
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: the last so he doesn't he doesn't get you scores.

1027
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: You gotta hope for yards, which is what the Bucks

1028
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: are giving up to tight ends. So I gotta c

1029
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: grade on him because you're starting him. But it feels

1030
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 1: gross to start him sometimes. Uh. Cordarrel Patterson running back,

1031
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: Cordarrel Patterson A grade. Actually he's hybrid hybrid. My thing

1032
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 1: with Cordarrel Patterson is he's completely game script immune. They

1033
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: get behind, they pass it to him, they jump ahead,

1034
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: they run it with him, and he gets both no

1035
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: matter what. He gets at least fifteen touches in every

1036
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: game he plays, at least nine. Then in the snaps

1037
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: in his nine full games, he scored nine times. What

1038
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: so he basically every generally general score three times against

1039
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: the Bucks generally. No, that was the he scored three

1040
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: times in the overseas game against what was the Jags.

1041
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: I believe, um uh, generally you don't play running backs

1042
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. So I'm gonna play Patterson the wide

1043
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: receiver against the Bucks. I hear what you're saying. I

1044
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: just I worry about the rushing yards simply not developing.

1045
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: And he runs for like twenty three yards, okay, and

1046
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: he gets sixty receiving and maybe a score. I mean,

1047
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: then you're up to in the score. Alright, a few receptions.

1048
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: I want to believe your reichs. I've got Patterson in

1049
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: a couple of leaks, and I've currently got him on

1050
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: the bench in two guillotine leagues. So maybe I have

1051
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: to rethink that a little bit. When we come back,

1052
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: Ravens take on the Steelers. We haven't had a good

1053
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: game from Lamar Jackson in a long time. Is this

1054
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: going to be the one? We'll tell you when we

1055
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: return Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. We've

1056
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: got a block of matchups for you. Letter grades on

1057
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: all the salient players, beginning with the Ravens taking on

1058
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Let's begin with a running game. A C

1059
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: grade on DeVonta Freeman as mundane as he has been

1060
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: his volume and opportunity remains so high that he stays

1061
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: startable here. He's averaging seventeen touches per game over the

1062
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: last month for Baltimore, and it's seventeen touches pretty much

1063
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: anybody is startable. That volume should be helpful against the

1064
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: Steelers defense allowing the most rushing yards and touchdowns over

1065
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. Go figure DeVonta Freeman C grade.

1066
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: Considered giving him a B grade here just because of

1067
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: how much the Steel's defense has slumped. And t J.

1068
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: Watt not expected to go here. And for all to

1069
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: talk about t J Watt, his excellence is a pass rusher.

1070
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: He's also a very good run stopper. They won't have

1071
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: him there. Let's go to the passing game. I want

1072
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: to begin with the receivers and Marcus Brown, who gets

1073
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: an A grade. Steelers pass defenses struggle lately, and cornerback

1074
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden will miss this game and that will help Brown,

1075
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: who scored a scored in both of last year's matchups

1076
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Steelers have allowed consecutive one hundred yard

1077
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: receiving performances and if there's gonna be a third, Brown

1078
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: is by far the most likely Ravens receiver to continue

1079
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: that trend. Rashade Bateman, though, I'm putting on the bench soon.

1080
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: We keep saying like this is the week that Rashod

1081
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: Bateman is gonna break out, But for once, I don't

1082
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: think this is the week he's gonna break out. It

1083
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: has materialized yet, despite plenty of targets positive matchups, and

1084
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: this is just a neutral matchup. He's averaging just forty

1085
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: eight scoreless yards per game over the last month. So

1086
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Bateman on the bench at this point. Be

1087
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: great on Mark Andrews, averaging a whopping nine targets per

1088
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: game since the bye week. He leads the team in

1089
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: red zone targets. The Steelers have allowed almost sixty yards

1090
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: per game to tight ends since Week eight, but none

1091
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: of them have scored. And Andrews has never scored against

1092
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: the Steelers, so this might be a yardage game and

1093
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: not a touchdown game for Andrews. Roll all that together

1094
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and we've got to be grade on Lamar Jackson. I

1095
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: think he's coming off a bad game. I think he

1096
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: rebounds to a great degree here. Steelers are middle of

1097
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: the road past defense. They're giving up two passing yards

1098
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: and one and a half passing touchdowns per game. That said,

1099
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow just ran for a touchdown against them. Week

1100
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: before that, justin air there ran for nine yards on

1101
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers. So back to back good rushing weeks by quarterbacks,

1102
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: and here comes Lamar Jackson, now at full health. I

1103
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: think he gets plenty done on the ground here. Again

1104
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: be grade for him. Let's over to the Steelers side.

1105
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: We'll begin with the running game here and Naji Harris

1106
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: with just the C grade. The broader Steelers woes here

1107
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: are affecting Harris a great deal, coming off his worst

1108
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: fantasy game of the year after his team fell behind

1109
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: very early last week, averaging a dismal three point three

1110
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry over the past six games. That's brutal

1111
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: for Naji Harris. Steeler's offensive line is major hindrance for him.

1112
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: Only one back is crap Has has cracked sixty rushing

1113
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: yards against Baltimore and only three of topped one hundred

1114
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: total yards, so I don't think Harris is going to

1115
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: get near that. Normally, Harris is receiving gives him a

1116
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 1: safe floor, but the Bravens have been awesome against receiving backs.

1117
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: No backs top three catches or twenty seven yards since

1118
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: way back in Week six. So there's just nothing to

1119
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: like about Harris's game here other than volume and usage.

1120
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receivers. Deonte Johnson gets a B grade,

1121
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and you know the deal on Johnson. Lots of targets,

1122
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: lots of catches, lots of yards, and no touchdowns. That

1123
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: is the likely scenario this week as well. Ravens give

1124
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: up a lot of receiving yards to whiteouts and very

1125
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: few touchdowns. Your glimmer of hope for the end zone

1126
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 1: for Deonte Johnson is this. He will face Marlon Humphrey

1127
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: most often on the outside, and he's given up four

1128
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: scores on the season, which is as many as he

1129
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: gave up all of last year. So glimmer of hope

1130
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: for Johnson. But I don't think he scores here. And

1131
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: it's another heavy volume and yardage game for a B grade.

1132
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, giving up that many touchdowns, we can call

1133
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: that the Gettysburg four scores. I like that the Gettysburg

1134
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool has commanded at least eight targets in two

1135
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: straight games, volume he hadn't seen since in back to

1136
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: back weeks. Since Week two, and three, and we'll hope

1137
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: it continues here because it led to eighty plus yards

1138
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: in back to back games. Weirdly, for Claypool, who has

1139
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: built four touchdowns, he has not scored in five straight games,

1140
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: and that is sadly. I'm probably going to continue because

1141
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: he will most often face Anthony Averett, who has given

1142
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: up just two touchdowns all season long. Pat Friarmouth has

1143
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: been a great breakout story here and especially with Eric

1144
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Ebron on I r um. You know we're bemoaning the

1145
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: lack of scoring for Johnson Claypole. We'll it's all going

1146
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: to Pat friar Muth for Pete's sake. Since his bye week,

1147
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Friarmouth leads the team in red zone targets and has

1148
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: scored five touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Ravens have allowed three scores

1149
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: of tight ends in their last five games. They're also

1150
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: giving up sixty four yards per game to the position.

1151
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: That is a lot. So Friarmouth B grade. So if

1152
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I roll all of those receivers, if Johnson, Claypool and

1153
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Friarmouth all have a B grade, I guess I kind

1154
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: of have to give Ben Roethlisberger a B grade right now.

1155
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm giving him grade um. You know the drill here,

1156
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: lots of passing, low efficiency, not enough scoring. But Baltimore

1157
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: gives him a lot of upside. Among teams that have

1158
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: had their by Baltimore surrendered the most passing yards to

1159
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks, and I think the yards are gonna come

1160
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: here even if I don't have an explosive game on

1161
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the docket for Ben Roethlisberger. Some of his ex teammates

1162
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: have come out and former players have come on, so

1163
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: they should bench Ben Roethlisberger. But I don't think they

1164
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: know who's on the depth chart, apparently because there's nobody

1165
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 1: to turn to here. Dwayne Haskins to Boskins, right, Matt

1166
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners taking on the Seahawks. Forty Niners. Elijah Mitchell

1167
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: coming off of back to back twenty seven carry games.

1168
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: How do you like him this week against the Seahawks

1169
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: thirty two total touches last week against the Vikings hundred

1170
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: and six yards and a scoring that one he gets

1171
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: an A grade. He faces the awful Seahawks run d

1172
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: which already highlighted a bit and take a chance on me.

1173
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: But I will add that they saw a similar bell

1174
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: cow workload from Antonio Gibson last week, who had thirty

1175
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: six touches and a hundred and forty six yards. I

1176
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: did use Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle use check in to

1177
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: take a chance on me segment. Both of them get

1178
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: a C grade. Deebo Samuel we mentioned will miss this

1179
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: week with a growing strain, So I'm gonna give Brandon

1180
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: Auk a B grade here. Eighty five or more yards

1181
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: in three of his last four, scored in two of

1182
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: those four. He's back in the good graces of Shanahan.

1183
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: But we're not going to go as far on the

1184
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers to reach for John Jennings or Trent Sherfield here.

1185
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: George Kittle was a big disappointment last week after scoring

1186
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: in the three previous games. I'm going right back to him,

1187
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: though he gets an A grade this week. The Seahawks

1188
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: have allowed the eighth most receptions to the tight end position,

1189
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: and they allowed a huge day to Zechert two weeks

1190
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: ago where he had eight catches and scored twice. Plus

1191
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: the Niners targeted Kittle eleven times in the first meeting

1192
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: with Seattle this year on the Seahawks side, on on

1193
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: our like internal slack. I jokingly asked if Russell Wilson

1194
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: was take a chance on me worthy, it's if he's

1195
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: even on a roster at this stage. Roster still. He

1196
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown for three yards since Week two. Uh, he

1197
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: doesn't run the ball that much anymore. He's only averaging

1198
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing yards per game in his last six games.

1199
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: He's hit the two touchdown mark only twice. And his

1200
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: high water mark for yardage in twenty career games against

1201
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the fort Can you guess what it is? Apparently it's

1202
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: not that high the way you've set it up, So

1203
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess like two yards two hundred sixty one

1204
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: yard games. Plus, the Niners defense has been really good

1205
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: the last month or so. No quarterback has topped two

1206
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: D fifty passing yards since Week three. Only three quarterbacks

1207
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: have hit the double digit or the double touchdown mark

1208
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: in the last eight games, but one of them was

1209
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: russ So I'll give him a courtesy C grade here.

1210
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: But he's teetering near the sabotage drop cliff. The last

1211
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: week on the show, we said sabotage drop him. Well,

1212
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: then you already pushed him over u DK Metcalf and

1213
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett they might be there too. Uh. They both

1214
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: get C grades in this one. DK has scored four

1215
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: times in his last four meetings with San Francisco, Lockett

1216
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: three three times in the same span, and actually DK

1217
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: and Freddie Swain scored in the earlier meeting this year.

1218
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Metcalf didn't catch a ball last week until the final minute,

1219
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and Locket is so reliant on the big splash play

1220
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: but he only gets like three four catches a game.

1221
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: The Niners have only allowed two touchdown passes to a

1222
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the last five weeks, and both went

1223
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: to Adam Feeling last week. So if I had to

1224
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: bet on a touchdown for a wide receiver in this one,

1225
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: I'd give it to lock It, who should face a

1226
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: healthy dose of Emmanuel Moseley, who gave up the scores

1227
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: last week. But it's gross Gerald Everett. He's on the bench,

1228
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: by the way. And then the Seattle running game is

1229
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: on a rock. I got one running game that I

1230
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: think is worse in this league. That'll that that I'll

1231
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: that I'll put out in the final. Alex Collins and

1232
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas and maybe Adrian Peterson are all on the bench.

1233
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Uh Collins is still working through an abdomen injury and

1234
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: was limited in practiced this week. D Dallas is limited too.

1235
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: They don't trust him that much either, because they made

1236
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: him split the word workload with an injured Collins last week,

1237
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: and they signed Peterson to the practice squad because Marshawn

1238
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: Lynch was not available this weekend. There are media reports

1239
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: saying they're gonna elevate Peterson over the weekend. Didn't play

1240
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: him in this game now. And then there's the defense.

1241
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin and Madison combined for seventeen carries and only sixty

1242
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: yards on the ground last week. The Niners held James

1243
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: Robinson twenty nine yards the week before and Darryl Henderson

1244
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: was held to thirty one yards the week before. So

1245
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: there's no way you can start anything that was that

1246
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: was a minute and a half on. Don't start any

1247
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: of those, you know, you know what, don't don't have

1248
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: Seattle backs on your Russell drop out Collins is. You

1249
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: give him ten carries, he'll get you forty yards. You

1250
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: give him twenty carries, he'll get you forty yards. Like

1251
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: the Leroy Horde of modern day. Speaking at James Robinson,

1252
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: he's the only Jaguar worth mentioning as we turn our

1253
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 1: attention to Jags taking on the Rams, Scott nobody no

1254
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: other part of the Jaguars offense. You don't think it's

1255
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: gonna be big. He led the team in targets and

1256
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: receiving yards last week did for our first rounder. Robinson's

1257
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: got the foot injury, and just when I watched him play,

1258
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: he's just you can tell that's what is bothering him.

1259
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the limited practice all When he's limited

1260
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: all week and there's not a great matchup, I'm nervous

1261
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: about James Robinson here. What do you think I still

1262
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: have a C grade on him? Because despite being limited

1263
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: all week, this is a guy who plays hurt. And

1264
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: I wonder if for sure, I wonder if it's that's

1265
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: undrafted nature in him. He's like, I gotta stay on

1266
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: this team. They drafted a first round running back. I

1267
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: gotta prove my worth. Uh. The Rams have allowed only

1268
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: allowed three backs over fifty yards this season. UH, and

1269
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: only James Connor and DeAndre Swift logged RB one weeks.

1270
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 1: Because Connor scored twice in DeAndre Swift caught like eight balls. Uh.

1271
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,799
Speaker 1: It's it's a volume C grade. He's scored in almost

1272
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: He scored in almost every full game he's played. He's

1273
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: played seven full games. He's scored in six of them.

1274
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: So I like the chip. I like the odds that

1275
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: if they can get down there, they like him. At

1276
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: the stripe, he might get a touchdown. He might get

1277
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: you forty to fifty yards, maybe a little more. He

1278
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: does catch passes. I have a volume SEE on him

1279
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 1: or yeah. On the other side, Matthew Stafford B grade,

1280
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: once an obvious weekly A grade starts for the first

1281
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: few weeks of the season. Now I have a B

1282
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: grade on him. With this offense floundering a bit over

1283
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. However, his worst game on the

1284
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: year is two forty three yards in the score. It's

1285
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: like his floor is a C grade pretty much. Uh.

1286
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: The Jags Basty, as we mentioned earlier in the show,

1287
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: has been sneaky good lately, holding four of the last

1288
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: five qbs under two hundred yards. Those five qbs totaled

1289
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. But it's really just his floor is way

1290
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 1: too seefe safe. He's better than those five quarterbacks, and

1291
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,360
Speaker 1: he's got better weapons than all those quarterbacks. I'm still

1292
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: giving him a B grade because even last week he

1293
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: had three hundred and a couple of scores and didn't

1294
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: honestly didn't even play all that well and be a

1295
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: good matchup in a really good matchup. Tough matchup. Odell

1296
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: Beckham expected to play in this game Cooper Cup. I

1297
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Cooper Cup though just obvious a

1298
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: like his last week with O b J coming on,

1299
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: he had his worst game of the year, seven catches

1300
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: for ninety six yards. O b J expected to play.

1301
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm giving him and Van Jefferson C grades. I like

1302
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: O b J went healthy a little bit more based

1303
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: on last week. A lot of the early passes Stafford

1304
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: had O b J didn't connect, kept going to him

1305
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: in the second half. I love seeing that Van Jefferson

1306
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: did exactly what he's done all season. A bunch of

1307
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: but like seven and six to nine targets. He only

1308
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: catches a few of them, but he usually catches a

1309
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: big one. He's done that four times, caught a big

1310
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: one that made his fantasy day. Otherwise he doesn't have

1311
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: a great fantasy day. So I have C grades on

1312
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: both of them. I trust O b J a little

1313
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: bit more I have Tyler Higbee on the bench just way,

1314
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 1: way too inconsistent, especially with O, B J and Jefferson

1315
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: taking so much production last week. Darrel Henderson B C grade.

1316
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: I would have had a B grade if he was healthy,

1317
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: But now I'm giving him and Michelle C grades because

1318
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,919
Speaker 1: i think just with that, if he doesn't go, that's

1319
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: an obvious choice. But as we mentioned, to take a

1320
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: chance on me segment, I got Michelle with ten, ten, twelve,

1321
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: fourteen touches. I think Henderson does that. I think they

1322
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: split it up pretty well, and Henderson catches the ball

1323
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a lot more. If Henderson doesn't go, Where do you

1324
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 1: put Sony Michelle in A grade? I had a secret Yeah,

1325
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: but does that without without Henderson? Either way, Sony Michelle

1326
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: is just so much less efficient because he's not very good.

1327
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,799
Speaker 1: Yes you, by the way, let's let's get that straight.

1328
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: I'd hate to have the Sony Walkman nickname get just

1329
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: not get used and end up being forgotten out of

1330
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: the ether. That's no good when we come back. Some

1331
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Dynasty stashes you'll want to make at the end of

1332
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: this year to set you up for next season, plus

1333
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 1: our final two matchups including Washington taking on the Raiders

1334
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,480
Speaker 1: will tell you what to expect from a surging Antonio Gibson.

1335
01:12:53,880 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: When we returned Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of our

1336
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchy and Scott Fish

1337
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you. Up to this point of

1338
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: the season, we've been using premature speculation in this spot,

1339
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: but now that we're so late into the season, we

1340
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: usually retire it at some point. We're going to do

1341
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: that now. This is kind of dynasty premature speculation because

1342
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: this is the time in a lot of leagues ther

1343
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: roster lock is coming up for the playoffs, and so

1344
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: if you're in a dynasty league and you're thinking about

1345
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: stashes for next year, you need to make those moves

1346
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: sooner than later. So we're here to help you with

1347
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: some of the players we think can be savvy dynasty

1348
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: stashes that are available to pick up. That's not easy

1349
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: to do, or just go try to Accordred. Okay, that

1350
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: works for me, Scott, Do you want to go first? Yeah?

1351
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: The first guy I'm gonna start with. You got more

1352
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: than one awesome welcome back to you. Yeah, I got

1353
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: several several points we can go. The first guy I'm

1354
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: going to start with this guy who I think is

1355
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: going to get paid in this offseason, and that is

1356
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: that number three wide receiver whose contract is up for

1357
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Gallup. Yeah, he looked just looked

1358
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: really good the last two week. He has looked really

1359
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: good the last two years. Uh, it's it's likely he's

1360
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: gonna hit free agency. It's likely he's going to one

1361
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: of the Yeah, I mean his contracts up, he's gonna

1362
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 1: and they're not signing can resign. He will be. He

1363
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: will be are one of the top wide receivers signed

1364
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: out there. He's gonna make like number one, number two

1365
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver money for whatever team he goes to. I

1366
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: don't know where he's going, but he could be really

1367
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: good next year. Matt, give me a dynasty stash. You know,

1368
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: the Vikings are going there already ten million over the

1369
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: cap next year and they're going to have to cut

1370
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: money here and there. So I think they're gonna cut

1371
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, who makes one point two mill but only

1372
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: a two. It's not Dalvin Cook. I'm pretty sure it's

1373
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 1: not Dalvin Cook. So Cannogo is the guy that i'd

1374
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: like to pick up. Dalvin Cook cannot stay healthy for

1375
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 1: a full year, and the Vikings do love to run

1376
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: the ball. I think Cannuang Goo fills that Alex Madison

1377
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: role next year. But you seem to think that Dalvin

1378
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Cook might be on the short. You gotta make up

1379
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. You never know. That's it's possible.

1380
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Um. By the way I learned today,

1381
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: can a Wong Woo? It's Wong wou wong wo. Okay,

1382
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't look at the letters because you'll never come

1383
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: up with that. He just take take the end of

1384
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: voice of the Vikings told me it's Wong woo, and

1385
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: he would know because he's got to call it correctly.

1386
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: So there you go. Can a Wong Woo Minnesota Vikings

1387
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: running back. Here's my guy, my dynasty stash Chargers tight

1388
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: end Donald on the list. Scratch that, Steven Anderson and

1389
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: Jared Cook our free agents. Parm is the only tight

1390
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: end under contract for the Chargers next year. And get this,

1391
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: justin Herbert is throwing thirty of his passes to the

1392
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: tight end position and Parm is a freaking beast. He's

1393
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 1: six foot eight, two hundred forty pounds. Dude is an

1394
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: NBA power forward with that size and if he, if

1395
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: he evolves his game a bit, Donald param could be

1396
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: scary good. It's uh, I like that param angle. Um,

1397
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We have time at the end of

1398
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the show and come back to some more of your

1399
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: Dynasty stashes, Scott. But let's make sure we can get

1400
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: in our two matchups. I don't think Scott wants to

1401
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: do him anymore. Maybe not. Let's Donald Palm off the table,

1402
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: Superstar off the board. I've done Washington's taking on the Raiders. Uh,

1403
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Let's start with Antonio Gibson. In three games since Washington's

1404
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 1: Week nine, by all wins, Gibson's average twenty four carries

1405
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: for ninety yards and he has scored twice. Vegas is

1406
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: much easier to run upon than pass upon, so I

1407
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get plenty of work here. Raiders are

1408
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: twenty nine and touchdowns allowed to running backs with thirteen

1409
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 1: of them, and they give up over one rushing yards

1410
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 1: per game. Um, and we know that J. D. McKissick

1411
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: has been ruled out of this game, So maybe a

1412
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: couple of extra pass catches from Antonio Gibson when Dell

1413
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Smallwood will factor into the j D mckiss. Yes, great,

1414
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: let's go to the passing game here. I've got a

1415
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: bench grade on Taylor Heineke. As I mentioned just mentioned,

1416
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: Raiders are hard to pass upon and just one touchdown

1417
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: pass in five of the past six games for Heineke

1418
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: um he doesn't provide much upside in any matchup, but

1419
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: especially not this one. Aside from elite passers Patrick Mahomes,

1420
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Justin air Bear, Las Vegas is only

1421
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: a allowing two passing yards and one point two passing

1422
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game. So where does this leave us with

1423
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 1: his receivers. It's not great, but I do have a

1424
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: B grade on Logan Thomas in his first game back

1425
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: last week nearly scored. He was on the field for

1426
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: of the snaps last week and that number probably vaults

1427
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: to which. By the way, pre injury, Logan Thomas didn't

1428
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: miss a snap this year, on the field for every

1429
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: single offensive play. Thomas has a plus matchup this week,

1430
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game

1431
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: two tight ends. What's more, over the last six games,

1432
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: they've allowed five tight ends to finish inside the top

1433
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: nine at the position, so be great on Logan Thomas

1434
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: and Terry mclauren is one of the trickiest starts of

1435
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: the week. Mclauden. He'll get shadow coverage from Casey Hayward

1436
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: and elite cornerback allowing a passer rating of just fifty

1437
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: three in his coverage and zero touchdowns. A loud and

1438
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: for McLaurin, who in previous seasons had been pretty much

1439
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: matchup proof, he's been very boom er bust this year,

1440
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and this feels like a bust game. Only two teams

1441
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: have managed a one yard receiver against the Raiders. I

1442
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: don't like McLaurin here. It's a respect for his abilities.

1443
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: See grade for Terry McLaurin. Let's go over to the

1444
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Raiders side of this game. I want to start with

1445
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: a lot of caution on Josh Jacobs. He saw a

1446
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: huge spike in usage last week, but that was an

1447
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: anomaly on the full season where he's been averaging a

1448
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: mundane eleven carries per game before last week. Washington much

1449
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: tougher opponent to run upon than pass upon, and I

1450
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: don't see Jacob's getting a lot of volume here. Opponents

1451
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:45,879
Speaker 1: averaging just thirteen running back rush attempts per game against

1452
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,719
Speaker 1: Washington over the last five weeks. That is the league's

1453
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 1: lowest figure. So volume working heavily against Jacobs here. They're

1454
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: also going up the second fewest rushing yards and they've

1455
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: only allowed one score to backs over the last five weeks.

1456
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: So I don't like Jacobs here much at all. And

1457
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: just to see great I oh, I nearly had him

1458
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: on the bench. I keep him to see his his

1459
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 1: passing volume. I think he has like six year seventeen

1460
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 1: targets in the last three games. It's gone. It's gone

1461
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,560
Speaker 1: up a lot, and that does that could get you

1462
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: the CE. I like the way you put that. Frank

1463
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: Moreau's may take a chance on me tight end this week,

1464
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: and he's got a B grade here, Hunter, Renfro, you

1465
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: call him Frank, I did call him. I think I

1466
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: don't know who's Frank Moreau. I don't know. I don't either,

1467
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau. You did with Brian earlier this week too,

1468
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I think I did. On the top you called Brian Frank.

1469
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: I did. Renfro has commanded at least nine targets in

1470
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: three of the last four games since Henry Rugg's arrest,

1471
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: and with Darren Waller out. It's hard to believe he's

1472
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: not going to continue to get heavy, heavy volume here.

1473
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: He's tallied one yards and or a score in three

1474
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: games since the Rugs arrest football team. Secondary ranks third

1475
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: in yards per game allowed and fourth and touchdowns allowed

1476
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers. That is great. Washington is using a

1477
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,520
Speaker 1: new guy in the slot, guy named Danny Johnson, generically

1478
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: named Danny Johnson. Sure his name is not Frank, Sure,

1479
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Frank Johnson, But we don't have a lot of data

1480
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: on him because he's pretty much new and advantage Renfro

1481
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: on that particular matchup, and um so for Derek Carr.

1482
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: Coinciding with the loss of Henry Ruggs, Cars scored just

1483
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown in three of the last four games, which

1484
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: is worrisome. But Washington is a bona fide slumpbuster. They've

1485
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 1: allowed a the most passing touchdowns, be the most passing

1486
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:34,759
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game this year, and see multiple passing

1487
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns in eight of the last nine. But I gotta

1488
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: go only give a B grade to Derek Carr here

1489
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: because of the dearth of receiving talent on this team.

1490
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to go to any of

1491
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: the depth guys like Brian Edwards or z Jones or

1492
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson in this one final matchup Jackson's interesting church.

1493
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 1: Could you queue this one up with a few sleigh

1494
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: bells for us? Maybe I would be honored to like that. Yeah,

1495
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: just like that. I keep that going. It's sleigh bells

1496
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: because we've got a weather game coming on Monday night.

1497
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: If you believe the podcast, we are going to have

1498
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 1: what happened that's the rate. So that's the funny thing

1499
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: is it's going to be a combination of precipitation right

1500
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,679
Speaker 1: at the freezing line. We could have rain, we could

1501
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: have snow, we could have sleet or even sneat on

1502
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Monday night. We get up Monday night sneak game, and

1503
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,719
Speaker 1: blustery conditions thirty mile in our winds expected in this game. Yeah.

1504
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: So I did look at it right before the show.

1505
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: The precipitation models have eased up a little bit, which

1506
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm a little bummed about because I want to see

1507
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: the gross weather. Um. But the real story is the

1508
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: sustained wins with gusts into the mid thirties. Uh. That

1509
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,640
Speaker 1: affects a game quite a bit more than the precipitation

1510
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: more than the precipitation um. And this game features the

1511
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: defense that's allowed the fewest yards the Bills at two

1512
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: d seventy five yards a game, and the fourth fewest

1513
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: yards the Patriots at three sixteen, and the top two

1514
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: scoring defenses. The Pats have allowed fifteen point eight yards

1515
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 1: per two points per game and the Bills have allowed

1516
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: sixteen point five points per game. So this is gonna

1517
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:19,759
Speaker 1: be a low scoring game here. Who can you start

1518
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: in this one? Damien Harris? He gets a C grade

1519
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and I'll throw a harpoon at Ramandre Stevenson too. Harris

1520
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: did see a slightly higher snap count and touch total

1521
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, but it's almost split evenly

1522
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: now and it's a brutal matchup, as the Bills allow

1523
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: only twenty four touches per game and a total of

1524
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten total combo yards per game to

1525
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:45,120
Speaker 1: opposing runners. Those are both top five marks. Although Harris

1526
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 1: was able to hit the hundred yard mark against the

1527
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Bills last year in his only meeting against them, that

1528
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: was last year. That was last year. They have not

1529
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: played yet this year. Mac Jones was able to hit

1530
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: passing yards against the terrible Titans passive fence, but he

1531
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: gets Buffalo, the best past defense in the league and

1532
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: windy and wet conditions. For that reason, Mac in the

1533
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: entire receiving game, they're all on the bench. The Bills

1534
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: allow the fewest receiving yards to wide receivers, the fifth

1535
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 1: fewest to tight ends. They've only allowed eight total passing

1536
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: scores on the year. So Hunter, Henry, Jacoby Myers, Kendrick Born,

1537
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones are all on your bench. Now you're

1538
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,840
Speaker 1: not worried about the loss of trade devious White. That's

1539
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: a massive loss to this secondary in my mind, and

1540
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: he could open up somebody to have a big game,

1541
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: not in the wet and blustery conditions of this one.

1542
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: And Mac Jones is not a guy who just throws up.

1543
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a strong armor ball through the wind

1544
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: because that's not his game. You know who does have

1545
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: a strong arm who could throw it through the wind.

1546
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: That's Josh Hellen. I'm gonna give him a B grade.

1547
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: He's ran for at least twenty five yards and four

1548
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: of his five career meetings with the Patriots, and did

1549
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: crack the code against them last December. Ended up with

1550
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: three twenty yards and four passing scores in that one.

1551
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: But that Pat's defense was not as good as this one.

1552
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: Uh they trail only the bills and passing scores allowed

1553
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: with only four on the year, and they've intercepted the

1554
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: most balls in the league. But I'm still giving Alan

1555
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: the B. I'm gonna give Stephan Digs a B grade

1556
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: as well. He should go up against Jalen Mills both

1557
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 1: the most of the time. He's their weakest corner and

1558
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: has allowed a passer rating of one twelve in his

1559
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: coverage as well as five touchdowns scored against him so

1560
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 1: far this year, and Diggs was on the receiving end

1561
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: of three of those four Josh Allen touchdowns last December.

1562
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: He's just downgraded a little bit because of the weather.

1563
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Cole Beasley a C start. He'll be

1564
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: on the slot against Miles Bryant, who hasn't allowed a

1565
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: score this year, but seventy of the balls and his

1566
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 1: coverage are caught, and with the windy conditions, you gotta

1567
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: think lower distance, high percentage throws are more likely. So

1568
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,839
Speaker 1: that brings Cole Beasley in. That doesn't put Emmanuel Sanders

1569
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: and he's on the bench. The target load hasn't been there.

1570
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox will get a C grade for much of

1571
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: the same reason Cole Beasley does. Short and intermediate passes

1572
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: will be key. Plus, Knox scored twice last week and

1573
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 1: had a third touchdown wiped from the board by a penalty. Finally,

1574
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: the best matchup in this game would be a pager

1575
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: a Bill's runner, a Bill's runner going against the Patriots

1576
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: run defense, but there are none. Zack Moss was a

1577
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: healthy scratch last week. You can't start him right now.

1578
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: He shouldn't roster him right now either. Devin Singletary managed

1579
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 1: fifteen carries last week and had two point nine yards

1580
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: per carry. The same can be said about Matt Brita,

1581
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: who had nine carries and ended up with two point

1582
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. Spackfield is probably the worst in

1583
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: the league. It's tougher to forecast the Monday night weather

1584
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: than to start the right Bills running back. The Pats

1585
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: have allowed four point six yards per carry on the season.

1586
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 1: That's the fifth most in the league. They've allowed the

1587
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 1: fourth most total rushing yards, but they've only given up

1588
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: four scores to the running back position all year. Kettysburg.

1589
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: That's best in the league. Do you think with the

1590
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: weather there's just gonna be a lot more running in

1591
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: this game. I think Josh Allen just is going to

1592
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: have to keep doing it by himself because those runners

1593
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: are so bad they can't get any thing done on

1594
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: it's finding his way to the end zone whatever that's worth. Yeah,

1595
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,560
Speaker 1: not against the Patriots. Not give up no touchdowns to

1596
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: running back. So they're all on your bench. I don't

1597
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: think any of them should be on your roster either.

1598
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 1: A right, let's go back to dynasty statues. You've got

1599
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: a couple more for us in our final moments, sure

1600
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: sure does. First off, maybe Broncos players, they might get

1601
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: an what I would do to that offense? Tim Patrick

1602
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 1: even just try to He just resigned from about another

1603
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: sneaky Aaron Rodgers team. The Steelers, Yeah, might be ready

1604
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: to win too. I think they're gonna be in the

1605
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson sweep Steaks along with potentially Philadelphia and the

1606
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson sweep Steaks. But yes, that is another possible

1607
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: landing spot. Here's another one, maybe Josh Palmer. This actually

1608
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 1: helps Palm to Mike Williams contract is up, but I

1609
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: don't see him resigning there. They have an out on

1610
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: Keenan all and but I don't think they take that.

1611
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, how about the box. Chris Godwin was franchise tag.

1612
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: He'll be a free agent again. Antonio Brown be a

1613
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 1: free agent. Maybe Tyler Johnson or jal They hate Tyler Johnson,

1614
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: is what I've concluded over the past month. It's it's

1615
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:11,640
Speaker 1: ain't don't like him, but he's playing to him. If

1616
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 1: you're on the field all the time, and Tom Brady,

1617
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 1: what if Godwin's gone? Though? But Brown has been gone

1618
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: and he's been running all these reps and it doesn't matter.

1619
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: It's Brown and God What do you think it? Deshaun Watson?

1620
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe okay Man playing for next year. Thanks for listening
