Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and
Speaker 1: advice League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchy and my co host today
Speaker 1: are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, let's go
Speaker 1: down charts treatings. We are near the playoffs, nearing the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and that means that every game means that much more. Yes,
Speaker 1: except for the people who are way out of playoff contention.
Speaker 1: They're not listening now, they're out, they're not listening anyway,
Speaker 1: so we're not even talking to them. So just to
Speaker 1: you guys who are listening, our stuff means a lot,
Speaker 1: that's right. You know, if you're a three win operation
Speaker 1: at this stage, you're not listening to this podcast. Maybe maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean they should, And you know, really, that's one
Speaker 1: of the beauties of the Guillotine League. When you get chopped,
Speaker 1: you don't have to pretend you care, like you know,
Speaker 1: you got a three win team right now in December,
Speaker 1: you don't care, but you have to go through the
Speaker 1: charade that you care. I should really make like a
Speaker 1: waiver wire move because I've moved two guys on I
Speaker 1: try to put in a starting line up. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was in two this year. One I'm still in and
Speaker 1: the other one cut in week one. Wow. The truth is,
Speaker 1: you cannot lose in the Gay Team League. I've talked
Speaker 1: about this for to three years? Are you kidding? You
Speaker 1: cannot lose. You either win or you either win the
Speaker 1: guille Team League or you win extra free times. It's
Speaker 1: a bonus win win. You can't lose. I love it.
Speaker 1: Of the course of the show, we're gonna break down
Speaker 1: all the matchups fantasy style with letter grades and all
Speaker 1: the players that matter. Will take a chance on nine
Speaker 1: different players. We'll answer three tough questions, and as we
Speaker 1: usually do in December, we will retire premature speculation. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna fill that time by giving you some of
Speaker 1: our favorite Dynasty Empire League stashes instead. There we go,
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll you'll still get some good data out
Speaker 1: of that. In the final segment of the show, we
Speaker 1: begin with the Cardinals taking on the Bears. Matt and
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray expected to be back at the Helm for
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, it's still a really weird gross game. Though.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins I kind of lump them together.
Speaker 1: Both have been limited in practice, Murray with the ankle,
Speaker 1: Hopkins with the hammy. Both are reported as moving around
Speaker 1: pretty well. Uh, Kyler, like you said, looks like he's
Speaker 1: going to play. Easier for him to overcome an ankle
Speaker 1: injury than a hamstring for DeAndre Hopkins. So I'll give
Speaker 1: Kyler a B grade. Here is Chicago's past defense has
Speaker 1: actually been okay. If for some reason, Kyler does not go,
Speaker 1: we downgrade all of the receivers a full letter grade here. Conversely,
Speaker 1: if DeAndre Hopkins is active, I'm also going to downgrade
Speaker 1: all the wide receivers a full letter grade. So like
Speaker 1: if I gave Christian Kirk a B right now and
Speaker 1: both are and Hopkins was active and Kyler was not,
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk would be on the bench. Here's how we
Speaker 1: do it. Christian Kirk gets a sea after after all that,
Speaker 1: the Bears have bad corners, but the best dish has
Speaker 1: been Xavier Crawford, who operates from the slot. That's where
Speaker 1: Kirk spends three quarters of his time. A J green,
Speaker 1: I'll throw a se on as well, he'll mostly line
Speaker 1: up against Artie Burns, who covered for the injured Duke
Speaker 1: Shelley last week and allowed fifty five yards in a
Speaker 1: score in his coverage. And I think they finally have
Speaker 1: benched Kindle vildor. Yeah, he's a starter, which is too
Speaker 1: bad because we love picking on him every show. I
Speaker 1: think we just love to say Kindle. Oh, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: an open and shut book. And you know we've had
Speaker 1: every every possible I think book reference. Yeah. Uh. A. J.
Speaker 1: Green has seen at least five targets and four of
Speaker 1: his last five games as well. And ron Dale Moore
Speaker 1: he saw eleven targets in Week eleven with Hopkins out,
Speaker 1: but that was kind of the season outlier on him.
Speaker 1: I'll throw a C grade on him, seeing is how
Speaker 1: we can downgrade it to bench if Hopkins place zach Ertz,
Speaker 1: I'll give him a C grade as well. In san
Speaker 1: zach Ertz played against the Bears and had one hundred
Speaker 1: and three yards and a score. In twenty nineteen, Zackert's
Speaker 1: played against the Bears and had one hundred and three
Speaker 1: yards and a score. It is an odd number years,
Speaker 1: so hundred and three yards of the score right here. Uh,
Speaker 1: so the Bears have been They've been okay against the
Speaker 1: tight end there, ranking in top ten interceptions, yards and
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to the tight end, so they've been pretty good. Uh. Finally,
Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds still on i R with the ankle injury.
Speaker 1: James Conner should see at least fifteen carries in this
Speaker 1: game so we can safely put him on a touchdown to.
Speaker 1: Since Week five, the Bears have allowed to touch down
Speaker 1: to every running back who has had at least fifteen
Speaker 1: carries in a game, except for Jamal Williams and Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: last week, so Connor gets a B on the Bear side.
Speaker 1: It's really gross. Justin fields just downgraded to doubtful on Friday,
Speaker 1: meaning that Andy Dalton is going to probably start in
Speaker 1: this one. You should not start him against the Cardinals
Speaker 1: who are only allowing two hundred one yards and one
Speaker 1: touchdown a game to opposing quarterbacks and almost all of
Speaker 1: his wide receivers are hurt. Alan Robinson hasn't practiced this
Speaker 1: week with a hamstrings. Marquis Goodwin didn't practice Wednesday with
Speaker 1: rib and foot injuries. Cole Commett didn't go either with
Speaker 1: a groin injury. Darnell Mooney is the only one you
Speaker 1: can really play. He gets just a C grade. The
Speaker 1: Cards are allowing the fifth fewest receptions and yards to
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers though, so it's just a C grade
Speaker 1: for Mooney. And finally David Montgomery, he gets the Scott
Speaker 1: Fish volume C. Yeah, the only hope for the Bears
Speaker 1: is to hold the time of possession. The good news
Speaker 1: the Cards are allowing four point seven yards per carry
Speaker 1: on the year. The bad news the Cards have only
Speaker 1: allowed four touchdowns all season two runners, and the game
Speaker 1: scripts have not favored runners all years. The Cards are
Speaker 1: only seeing an average of seventeen rushing attempts per game.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Giants taking on the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: This is a brutal game with fel like I feel
Speaker 1: like every one of my matchups, by the way, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh god started until you get the Giants. Dolphins, start
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense, Well, you actually do start defense. Giants
Speaker 1: are gonna be without their starting quarterbacks and two receivers
Speaker 1: in this game. And there's nobody in the passing game
Speaker 1: to play here, absolutely none, absolutely none. If if you
Speaker 1: are really in a penchion, need to take a dart,
Speaker 1: throw it might be Tony because he got thirteen targets
Speaker 1: from Glennon and the last one if he goes. If
Speaker 1: he goes, he's it's not expected to play. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: and Shepherd's not expected to play. He had like Miami's terrible,
Speaker 1: gets a slot and he's not gonna go. Like there
Speaker 1: were options, just it just didn't come together for the Giants.
Speaker 1: Nothing in the passing game. Barkley, I am giving the
Speaker 1: B grade too, though they they leaned on the run
Speaker 1: heavily in that other Glennon game, giving over twenty I
Speaker 1: think it was twenty four touches to the running backs.
Speaker 1: Uh and Glennon only passed it twenty five times in
Speaker 1: that in that first the first Glenning game. So I'm
Speaker 1: giving Barkley a B grade here. He has ten catches
Speaker 1: in a two games back. Um, I saw this. I
Speaker 1: saw the stat the other day. Barkley hasn't topped six
Speaker 1: yards rushing since twenty nineteen, that by the way, and yes,
Speaker 1: seven yards by the way. I tweeted it this week,
Speaker 1: so I thought he hasn't. It's been since Week four
Speaker 1: since he scored a touchdown. It's been since since he's tapped.
Speaker 1: I think with the volume plus the likelihood of four
Speaker 1: to five catches, I gotta be great on him, though.
Speaker 1: That's you're way more optimistic than I am. I am. Actually,
Speaker 1: I OpEd it with I feel better about it with Glennon,
Speaker 1: and then I would have with Daniel Jones. Uh on
Speaker 1: the two on the Miami side. On the two A side,
Speaker 1: I'm given to a C grete. The Giants held out
Speaker 1: Hurts last week, but he was hurt a little. And uh,
Speaker 1: they've they've been more than more like middle of the
Speaker 1: road defense against quarterbacks over the last six two has
Speaker 1: looked really solid. Uh. He's second in the NFL in
Speaker 1: a completion person manage over that span. UM. In those
Speaker 1: six games, he has twelve touchdowns, so two per game,
Speaker 1: averaging about two and fifty yards per game. Uh. If
Speaker 1: Gaskin would stop taking wildcat snaps at the goal line,
Speaker 1: maybe two, it would get a few more points. But
Speaker 1: I gotta c grade on him a grade for Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: it's hard not to give him his due at this point.
Speaker 1: He's on pace to break An Kwon Bolden's rookie record
Speaker 1: for receptions. He's averaging about nine targets, six catches, seventy
Speaker 1: five yards per game. With Parker and Fuller unlikely to
Speaker 1: play as well, he's still going to be just about
Speaker 1: the only guy in town. Uh So, I do have
Speaker 1: an A grade on Waddle. I just think double digit targets.
Speaker 1: Waddle is entering Rookie of the Year conversations right now,
Speaker 1: and Jamaar Chase is handing that five games have not
Speaker 1: been spectacular for Chase. Uh Gasicky, I have a C
Speaker 1: grade on him. He had a quiet day against Carolina
Speaker 1: last week and what should have been a decent spot
Speaker 1: Becausecki basically plays jumper wide receiver a jumble wide receiver
Speaker 1: role and had forty eight plus yard in the five
Speaker 1: previous games to that, Giants just gave up really really
Speaker 1: good days to Gronk and waller Um and they're they're
Speaker 1: mostly average against the position. Obviously grade there. In the
Speaker 1: running game, Philip Lindsay I actually kind of liked this
Speaker 1: week until now he's turned up with an injury and
Speaker 1: he's doubtful to play, So it's gonna be all x.
Speaker 1: Lindsay had twelve carries last week. If he's not there,
Speaker 1: Gaskin is just gonna get more volume. What do you
Speaker 1: think it says about Miles Gaskin on but you know,
Speaker 1: on less than a week with the team, they gave
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay twelve touches. Yeah, the fact that they signed
Speaker 1: him says something, and Lindsay responded with, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a good game on an on an
Speaker 1: even numbered week this time, I'm gonna kick that. Uh.
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on Gaskin. The Giants d
Speaker 1: checks in at fifth worst against fantasy running backs. They've
Speaker 1: allowed over a hundred fifty total yards per game. That's
Speaker 1: good for fourth most, seventh most rushing yards, fourth most
Speaker 1: passing yards. A lot of the position. As we know,
Speaker 1: gasking can catch passes and those wildcat runs at the
Speaker 1: goal line. He's getting a lot of goal line opportunity.
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on him, a much stronger
Speaker 1: than be grade than I do on Barkley. Go good.
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you on that. The time has come.
Speaker 1: Javante Williams is going to be the starting running back
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. Man. I'm glad that you brought this
Speaker 1: up right after Myles Gaskin, because I got a choice
Speaker 1: between those two in the league this week. Chart what
Speaker 1: Charter gonna do. What is the fantasy community gonna do?
Speaker 1: If Mike Boon that's the is he might, it would
Speaker 1: be very frustrating. Uh. Javonte Williams Melvin Gordon not expected
Speaker 1: to play in this game. He's officially doubtful. Let's you know,
Speaker 1: and the people who are doubtful do not play. So
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams as the starter. He's been really I Popping
Speaker 1: Lee good to this point. But Melvin Gordon has been
Speaker 1: good enough to make sure that Williams isn't getting requisite
Speaker 1: work to make can a safe start on a weekend
Speaker 1: and week out basis. Until now, catch is this has
Speaker 1: turned into a really good Chiefs run defense. They're allowing
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest rushing yards on the third fewest carries,
Speaker 1: and they haven't given up a touchdown by land Sea
Speaker 1: or Air in seven games to a running back. How
Speaker 1: did they get one by c touchdowns? You're gonna find
Speaker 1: out a Monday night. With the Weather game coming on
Speaker 1: Monday night. I'm excited to talk to you about that
Speaker 1: game when we get there later on. So I've got
Speaker 1: to be grade on Williams. In an easier matchup, I
Speaker 1: would love to give him an A grade. What's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun is think of all of next year's preseason
Speaker 1: prediction articles that are going to talk about Javonte Williams.
Speaker 1: They're all gonna reference this one game as a starter
Speaker 1: that he had, you know, in the one game to six.
Speaker 1: That's right in that one when yards a year, right,
Speaker 1: So be great on Javonte Williams. Hoping for greatness, but
Speaker 1: I'm subduing my expectations a little bit. The entire passing
Speaker 1: games on the bench, Teddy Bridgewater is thrown zero or
Speaker 1: one touchdown in four straight games. The return of Jerry Judy,
Speaker 1: you would think that that would help the passing game,
Speaker 1: but all that's done is take a meager number of
Speaker 1: completions and divide them by another set. It's destroyed everybody,
Speaker 1: including Tim Patrick, who had been as totally bankable, totally
Speaker 1: dried up. Sutton's no good, Judy's killed us. So Judy
Speaker 1: hasn't scored all year, and Grantity missed a bunch of
Speaker 1: the season, but still um Patrick's last two games fourteen
Speaker 1: and twenty six yards no offense has devolved into a
Speaker 1: spot starter and this is not the spot Kansas City
Speaker 1: secondaries red hot over the past six games, Kansas City
Speaker 1: is allowing just two three passing yards and one touchdown
Speaker 1: per game. So that's it for the passing game on
Speaker 1: the bench. Let's go over to Kansas City. I am
Speaker 1: excited for what I believe will be a very big
Speaker 1: game from Clyde Edwards Hilaire. The Brocos are clearly feeling
Speaker 1: the absence of Von Miller and L and A. J. Johnson.
Speaker 1: Over the past four games. They're allowing the most rushing
Speaker 1: yards at a league high five point six yards per
Speaker 1: carry to opposing backs. And it'll get even worse if
Speaker 1: Shelby Harris misses this game. He's Pro Football Focus his
Speaker 1: seventh best run defending interior alignement, and he's questionable to
Speaker 1: go in this one. And remember, in Clyde Edwards Hilayer's
Speaker 1: last three full games, he's averaging one hundred total yards
Speaker 1: and he scored twice in those three games. A grade
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edwards Hilaiyer. I just want to mention he's
Speaker 1: he's had the flu this week. You do not expect
Speaker 1: that to be a problem by Sunday's expected to be
Speaker 1: past that. Just for uh Patrick mahomes Man, I I
Speaker 1: really struggled with the letter grade on Patrick Mahomes. Let's
Speaker 1: talk it through together. Dud games and four of the
Speaker 1: last five games for Mahomes. And when I say dud,
Speaker 1: I mean dud other than that Raiders game with four
Speaker 1: hundred yards and four touchdowns. Going back since Week six,
Speaker 1: October sevente was a long time ago, he's had one
Speaker 1: good game since them. In all the others, Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: is averaging two twenty six yards and half of one
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. God, that's I just traded Mahomes for
Speaker 1: a J. Brown in the league. Man it wow, that's amazing. Um.
Speaker 1: He threw just one touchdown in both of the Denver
Speaker 1: meetings last year, and that was when Denver's defense was
Speaker 1: reeling with injury. Defense is better. Denver hasn't surrendered more
Speaker 1: than two touchdown passes to any quarterback this year. They
Speaker 1: on the second best opponent completion percent. It's just C
Speaker 1: grade on Patrick. Would anybody be surprised if he threw three? No? No,
Speaker 1: it's Patrick Mahomes. But we now have so much data
Speaker 1: on this that you just can't feel like that's something
Speaker 1: that's bankable anymore. Let's talk about his receivers and I
Speaker 1: want to begin with Travis Kelsey. This is a tricky
Speaker 1: matchup Denvers allowing the fourth fewest Fantasy points to tight ends.
Speaker 1: No opposing tight end is finished in the top twelve
Speaker 1: in any game against Denver this year, and that includes
Speaker 1: Darren Waller Mark Andrews. They did not crack the top twelve.
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelsey has dropped six passes in the past
Speaker 1: four games. That is the most over the last four
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. BE grade for Travis Kelsey. If
Speaker 1: you played a different position, it probably a C grade.
Speaker 1: I'm still maintaining an A grade on Tyreek Hill. In
Speaker 1: the last four meetings, He'll scored four times, which is
Speaker 1: pretty good considering Patrick Mahomes has only scored five touchdowns
Speaker 1: in those four games. He'll commanded a league high forty
Speaker 1: eight targets over his last four games. Because that volume
Speaker 1: is there, I'm keeping the A grade on Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: You'll go up against rookie cornerback Patrick Certain for the
Speaker 1: first time. Uh in Certain it's actually stam sur Tan's career.
Speaker 1: But guarding Hill for the first time is a daunting task.
Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna go advantage Tyreek Hill and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep the A grade on him sitting on the bench,
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, because once Clyde Edwards comes back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: see Williams go right back to the low usage he
Speaker 1: had before when Clyde Edwards a layer was healthy earlier
Speaker 1: in the season. It's yet another bye week. You need
Speaker 1: help with a couple of pivotal positions, maybe even the
Speaker 1: tight end. We will tell you nine guides upon whom
Speaker 1: you can take a chance. Many of these players available
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, and at least one tight end
Speaker 1: to give you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me nine players not normally a
Speaker 1: new starting lineup. Any of these guys are available on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. We begin at the quarterback position and
Speaker 1: Scott Fish. I'm going with Carson Wentz. He's had multiple
Speaker 1: touchdowns in seven of his last nine. The two he
Speaker 1: didn't were against the Bills Pasty and the recently really
Speaker 1: really stout Jags past defense. Uh So, the Texans are
Speaker 1: middle of the road against quarterbacks, but went went to
Speaker 1: twenty three and two last time, which kicked off a
Speaker 1: stretch of qbs going for three or more multiple scores
Speaker 1: uh like four times against the Texans after that, So
Speaker 1: Carson wentz al Right, I like it, Matt, you'll take
Speaker 1: a chance to be quarterback. My all might take a
Speaker 1: chance of me. Players will be on the spelling test
Speaker 1: this week. We start with Jimmy Garoppolo two two peas.
Speaker 1: I was surprised when I looked it up. He's only
Speaker 1: thrown three career touchdown passes against the Seahawks in five games.
Speaker 1: Seattle's defense is looking absolutely brutal right now, and Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel is out, So why Jimmy G here? Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: curious about that. The Niners did figure out something in
Speaker 1: the first meeting. Is the combo platter of Jimmy G
Speaker 1: and Trey Lance managed to throw for three, two and
Speaker 1: three against Seattle earlier this year. Garoppolo was injured in
Speaker 1: that game and missed the next two weeks. In the
Speaker 1: six games since returning, Jimmy G has posted to yard
Speaker 1: games and multiple touchdown passes and three of his last four.
Speaker 1: And with Deebo out, I think it forces the Niners
Speaker 1: and to be more of a traditional offense. Run the
Speaker 1: ball with Mitchell, passed the ball with Jimmy. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with him this week, Tyrod Taylor d it depending
Speaker 1: on who you ask. Taylor takes on the Colts and
Speaker 1: while granted they haven't had there buy yet, but the
Speaker 1: Colts are surrendered the most passing touchdowns while allowing opposing
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for multiple touchdowns in eight different games this year.
Speaker 1: So Taylor may help you through the air here, but
Speaker 1: also on the ground. We've seen other comparable mobile quarterbacks
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence average
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry against the Colts. If Taylor is
Speaker 1: gonna get seven yards per carry and he gets seven
Speaker 1: nine eleven carries, you know suddenly we're looking at a
Speaker 1: easy fifty yard game for Taylor. I'm just on the ground.
Speaker 1: So combine that together, there's your starter. It's fun fact
Speaker 1: on Taylor multiple touchdowns in every game he's played this
Speaker 1: year between ground and air. I think not by sea.
Speaker 1: You didn't put the scooping touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, let's
Speaker 1: go to here take a chance, I mean running back
Speaker 1: Scott I'm going with Sony Michelle up against the Jaguars defense.
Speaker 1: It's not the best the matchups. It's the middle of
Speaker 1: the road matchup that's gotten better over over recent weeks.
Speaker 1: But Darryl Henderson is dealing with a hip injury, and
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's a lot of concern he'll play,
Speaker 1: and if he does play, concern that a lot of
Speaker 1: concern he won't play. But if he does go, he
Speaker 1: might be on a little bit of a snap count.
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars are allowing nearly thirty touches per game
Speaker 1: to running backs. This is a game where the Rams
Speaker 1: might get ahead to and run the ball with Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle to run out that clock. I see Sony with
Speaker 1: ten plus touches. Whether whether Henderson goes or not, I
Speaker 1: like see Gray there. Let's go to Matt and you're
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back. The second word
Speaker 1: in the spelling test is use check, as in Kyle
Speaker 1: use check. This is probably my boldest take a chance
Speaker 1: in me call of the year. If he scores once,
Speaker 1: I'm golden in this one. If he scores twice, I
Speaker 1: get to go into the John t V. Take a
Speaker 1: chance on me Hall of Fame. You I don't know,
Speaker 1: yeah from file use check corse four times. You definitely
Speaker 1: catch h Kyle J has caught a pass in every
Speaker 1: game this year. Uh deebo. Samuel will miss this game.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned that vacates about nine targets per game,
Speaker 1: but in a sneaky way, it's also vacating rushing attempts
Speaker 1: as he comes out of the backfield a ton, and
Speaker 1: Samuel's last three games he's ran the ball nineteen times.
Speaker 1: They need to not only replace him as a wide
Speaker 1: receiver but a weapon out of the backfield. So why not, Kyle?
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are allowing the most receptions to running backs,
Speaker 1: the most receiving yards to running backs, and the most
Speaker 1: total touches per game to the position. They can't give
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell thirty two carries again, Kyle use Check is
Speaker 1: gonna get some use in this game. Check that yep,
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders is back, but that doesn't mean Boston South
Speaker 1: suddenly not gonna get carries. And they've give him plenty
Speaker 1: of work even in Sanders games. And they're going up
Speaker 1: against the Jets. They ranked last in rush defense, last
Speaker 1: in rushing touchdowns allowed, twenty six yards per carry, and
Speaker 1: no team is running the ball more than the Eagles
Speaker 1: since Week seven. Granted a lot of that's Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: every time Boston Scott is mentioned on this show. I
Speaker 1: want Scott to do a Boston accent from now on.
Speaker 1: Can you say Chowder? Okay, let's go. Let's let's go
Speaker 1: over to the receivers that could be wide receivers and
Speaker 1: or tight ends. Scott, who you got chowder? Russell Gauge
Speaker 1: going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which was an
Speaker 1: easier matchup earlier in the year, but they're still not
Speaker 1: great against wide receivers. Over the less two weeks, Gage
Speaker 1: has fifteen targets, leading the team the leading the team's
Speaker 1: wide receivers in targets, catches, and yards. I say wide
Speaker 1: receivers because Cordil Patterson I'm kind of running back for
Speaker 1: this specific statistic. Um. He's had five to six cards,
Speaker 1: catches and fifties and sixty plus yards in four of
Speaker 1: his last five games with and he's scored in a
Speaker 1: couple of them. Still, uh, it's it's just good matchups
Speaker 1: grade on him too. All right, Matt, you're a receiver. Well,
Speaker 1: I happen to know it's a tight end. Well. The
Speaker 1: final guy in the spelling test is c j Uzoma,
Speaker 1: and the US has popped off for a few big
Speaker 1: days this year, they've all come against porous tight end defenses,
Speaker 1: and the Chargers fit that bill this week. Last week,
Speaker 1: the Broncos tight end Eric Salbert scored Albert. The week
Speaker 1: before Eric Ebron and Pat friar Muth each scored for
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and the week before that, Tyler Conklin scored
Speaker 1: twice for the Vikings. Against the Chargers. They're averaging almost
Speaker 1: one tight end score per game and have allowed the
Speaker 1: second most scores in the league to the position. Foster
Speaker 1: Moreau is probably the best backup tight end of the league.
Speaker 1: And you may recall in the preseason we said if
Speaker 1: there's one tight end you're gonna hand come we've talked
Speaker 1: about for a couple of years. We are. We're big
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau. Fans uh. That was your handcuff to have
Speaker 1: Moreau filled in for Darren Waller once earlier this year.
Speaker 1: And here's what happened in that game. Moreau was on
Speaker 1: the field for every single snap. He ran routes on
Speaker 1: thirty two of thirty seven passing plays. They targeted him
Speaker 1: six times. He caught all six passes for sixty yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. And every tight end who's been targeted
Speaker 1: five or more times against Washington has hit at least
Speaker 1: fifty yards and or scored a touchdown. Foster Moreau. Let's
Speaker 1: go to another matchup, Chargers taking on the Bengals, Matt
Speaker 1: this has been an inconsistent Chargers passing game. What do
Speaker 1: you think about Justin Herbert as he takes on a
Speaker 1: surprisingly good Cincinnati past. I have no idea who Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert is, but their quarterback Air Bear. He's not scared
Speaker 1: to go up against the Bengals, certainly not. Air Bear
Speaker 1: is thrown for multiple scores and four of his last
Speaker 1: five and for over three hundred and three of his
Speaker 1: last five. Both Mike White and Baker Mayfield through for
Speaker 1: multiple scores against this defense in the last month, but
Speaker 1: they did hold Derek Carr and Big Ben in check
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. Should we give him an
Speaker 1: A grade for Air or a B grade for Bear?
Speaker 1: Or maybe we split the difference and give him something
Speaker 1: in between those two bad like an A B grade.
Speaker 1: I'll just give him a B and thank you. Mike
Speaker 1: Williams will face Eli Apple most often in this one.
Speaker 1: He's the bengals worst cover corner according to Pro Football
Speaker 1: folk US It's tough to feel a lot of faith
Speaker 1: in Williams right now, after hitting double digit PPR points
Speaker 1: only once in his last six games, after accomplishing that
Speaker 1: feat in four of his first five this year. Last
Speaker 1: week in Denver, he didn't score, but did have eight targets,
Speaker 1: his highest mark since Week five. So I'll take a
Speaker 1: stand and I'm gonna throw a hopeful B grade on
Speaker 1: Mike Williams this this week. It's that that is not
Speaker 1: panned out more often than not. It's a hopeful B grade,
Speaker 1: which is something like the grade alright, Keenan Allen gets
Speaker 1: a solid B grade. Uh, slot corner known as a
Speaker 1: B grade. How's interrupting me? Chart? Geez? Uh slot corner.
Speaker 1: Mike Hilton has been very good this year, but Allen
Speaker 1: has been to ten or more targets in five straight
Speaker 1: games and double digit PPR points in every game this season,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Uh. Jared Cook and the rest of
Speaker 1: the tight ends are on the bench. Somehow, They're now
Speaker 1: targeting four tight ends in this offense. And while Cook
Speaker 1: leads the team and looks at four or five targets
Speaker 1: per game, you need to score and Parum gets as
Speaker 1: many red zone targets is just gross. Austin Ekeler. He
Speaker 1: does get an A grade though. The Bengals have been
Speaker 1: decent against the run game, but their bottom five in
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards allowed to opposing running backs. That
Speaker 1: an average of seven catches and fifty five yards per game.
Speaker 1: That's right Neckler's wheelhouse over to the other side. Chart.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you get a button ready because Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon he gets this week's fantasy art Vark. Joe Mixon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty one touches per game since the bye week, dang uh,
Speaker 1: and the Chargers have allowed the most rushing yards and
Speaker 1: the second most touchdowns to the running back position. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big Joe Mason. I think he's my
Speaker 1: number one ranked running back this week. Well, that's that's
Speaker 1: how you get an art Vark rading uh c j
Speaker 1: Uzoma was might take a chance on the receiver Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: I'm only giving a C grade two. He hasn't topped
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and four straight, has thrown two touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in his last three games. And you don't pass
Speaker 1: on the Chargers, you run on the Chargers, which is
Speaker 1: why the Chargers are top five and passing attempts, completions,
Speaker 1: and yards As a defense only allowing two eighteen yards
Speaker 1: per game plus tackle. Riley Reef is not a percent
Speaker 1: and may not go with an ankle injury. Jamaar Chase
Speaker 1: and Tee Higgins gets c grades in this one. Chase
Speaker 1: hasn't topped fifty yards in five weeks, Higgins has scored
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points than three of their last four. Both
Speaker 1: get a little break though, as Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.
Speaker 1: Is looking like he's gonna miss this week with concussion. Still,
Speaker 1: Michael Davis and Tavon Campbell have been very capable this year,
Speaker 1: and as I said, people just run on the Chargers,
Speaker 1: so I think it's pretty low volume here. By the way,
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd is on the bench, he draws Chris Harris
Speaker 1: from the slot. That's a that's the worst matchup and
Speaker 1: he's the worst of the three wide receivers. We're not
Speaker 1: normally starting Tyler Boyd anyway, so that's okay. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we will dive into more matchups, including Colts
Speaker 1: versus Texans. Sure Jonathan Taylor is an obvious start here.
Speaker 1: We know that Scott Fish likes Carson Wentz so hot.
Speaker 1: Which of the re sievers is gonna get beyond the
Speaker 1: receiving end of all of those scores. I think you
Speaker 1: promised four touchdowns for Carson Wentz a personal guarantee. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we come back. In
Speaker 1: addition to breaking down the backup running backs between the
Speaker 1: Vikings and Lions, both of whom are in key roles
Speaker 1: this week, all of that and more Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: returns in moments. This is the final segment of our
Speaker 1: number one of our two hour journey into Fantasy football
Speaker 1: and Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charge and Scott Fish and
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison with you if you want to follow Scott
Speaker 1: Fish on Twitter at Scott Fish twenty four. Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: is at explosive output and I am at Paul Charge.
Speaker 1: In Boom Colts take on the Texans, Scott Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: goes without saying he's an obvious start, and uh, there's
Speaker 1: no scenario under which you would not start him. But
Speaker 1: more about the passing game, sure, Uh, Carson Wentz obviously
Speaker 1: was my take a chance on me quarterback. So in
Speaker 1: the passing game, you'd think I'd like a lot more
Speaker 1: players than. Yes, I would, but I have a B
Speaker 1: grade on Michael Pittman. He held was held down a
Speaker 1: little bit by the Bucks last week because the touchdowns
Speaker 1: some for some reason went to Hilton, t Y Hilton,
Speaker 1: and Ashton Dolon. Uh a Dynasty Metrics favorite from a
Speaker 1: couple of years. Okay, yeah he was yeah writing that. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's still crushed in target share though he's getting over
Speaker 1: eight per game. The top receiver usually goes for seventy
Speaker 1: five plus on the Texans. Texans and usually scores. So
Speaker 1: I got that from Michael Pittman. As for the others,
Speaker 1: I'm just not trusting it. With Hilton, he scored, but
Speaker 1: he hasn't top thirty yards in his last four games.
Speaker 1: All the rest are super inconsistent. It's gonna be Pittman,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Hinds getting some catches. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: Taylor getting some catches Whenzi'll get there. But we don't
Speaker 1: know exactly where it's gonna go. You mentioned Taylor was
Speaker 1: the obvious a his last three lines against the Texans.
Speaker 1: I just want to put these out there, five and
Speaker 1: one and one and two. Geez, those are honestly he's
Speaker 1: better now than he was then. On the other side
Speaker 1: of the ball, Taylor was he was. So you think
Speaker 1: I'd like a lot of the wide receivers of it,
Speaker 1: one of them because a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: the reason I like Taylor was first rushing, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: He gets you two to three points rushing every week.
Speaker 1: No matter what, you'll get more than that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do like do like Cooks. I got a C grade
Speaker 1: on him. He scored last week to save his fantasy
Speaker 1: day because his targets had dried up a little bit.
Speaker 1: With Taylor only throwing at twenty four and twenty six
Speaker 1: times in the last two weeks, which is gonna tank
Speaker 1: tank them. But Cooks over the season and especially recently
Speaker 1: end up until that two game stretch, had been getting
Speaker 1: eight to ten targets. I figure him to come back
Speaker 1: a little more in that range. With them falling behind
Speaker 1: the Colts in this one. Uh see, great on Cook's
Speaker 1: I have a bench grade on Collins. He got the
Speaker 1: first two targets and catches of the game last week
Speaker 1: and then the last target of the day and nothing
Speaker 1: to between. I can't trust that into the running game.
Speaker 1: I have them both on the bench. It becomes a
Speaker 1: little more interesting. If David Johnson doesn't go bad become
Speaker 1: absolutely plausible. Plug in. Yeah, the last two weeks, rex
Speaker 1: Burke had went eighteen carries for forty yards and twelve
Speaker 1: for I believe twenty two yards or twelve or twenty eight.
Speaker 1: So if you want twenty carries for maybe fifty or
Speaker 1: sixty yards, Burke head bike and to see but two
Speaker 1: yards per carries? What if Johnson doesn't go rex Burke
Speaker 1: had doesn't even get my volume. See I'm that low
Speaker 1: on Burke hand. Wow, Bikings take on the Lions. Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison will be your starting running back. He was a
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy running back in the two full games
Speaker 1: he's already played in place of Dalvin Cook, and he's
Speaker 1: averaged in those two games. He averaged thirty two touches
Speaker 1: per game, and one of them was against the Lions.
Speaker 1: Earlier the Lions, it was good for hundred fifty three yards.
Speaker 1: In a grade on Alexander Madison in this one. Let's
Speaker 1: go over to the passing game or justin Jefferson is
Speaker 1: an obvious a over one hundred yards in his last
Speaker 1: two match ups with Detroit, including one twenty four yards
Speaker 1: in the earlier meeting. He's become one of Fantasy Football's
Speaker 1: safest wide receiver plays. A grade for Jefferson, B great
Speaker 1: for Adam Theelan in a far trickier start than Jefferson's.
Speaker 1: Over his last four games against Detroit, Theland's averaging just
Speaker 1: forty yards and only one score in those four games,
Speaker 1: including the one earlier this year, which was just two
Speaker 1: catches of for forty yards. That's not good. Uh fortunately,
Speaker 1: does come into this game hot at least five catches
Speaker 1: and a seventy one yard average over his last three games.
Speaker 1: He's also found the end zone in five of the
Speaker 1: last six, which is great and touchdowns obviously always helped.
Speaker 1: But oddly enough, the Lions do a good job at
Speaker 1: keeping receivers out of the end zone, allowing just one
Speaker 1: touchdown to wide receivers in the last month Detroit. And
Speaker 1: that brings us to Kirk Cousins and you can probably
Speaker 1: see this coming a little bit a B grade here.
Speaker 1: The Lions are shockingly competent against the past. The last
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks to face the Lions are averaging just two
Speaker 1: hundred twelve yards and zero point eight touchdowns. The Lions
Speaker 1: granted Cousins is way better than any of the guys
Speaker 1: that they faced in that last month. But in the
Speaker 1: Week five matchup, Cousins was good for a very modest
Speaker 1: two yards in one score. That was it. Still Jefferson
Speaker 1: and Theland dramatically better than anybody they'll face in the
Speaker 1: Lions secondary, and they should on paper do well here,
Speaker 1: so I'm keeping a B grade on Kirk Cousins. Let's
Speaker 1: go over to the Detroit side of this game. Another
Speaker 1: backup running back, Jamal Williams, will get virtually all of
Speaker 1: the work here. You got almost every touch on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: after DeAndre Swift went down. The Vikings just got hammered
Speaker 1: by Elijah Chill. They're giving up the most yards per
Speaker 1: carry in the NFL, but they do get both of
Speaker 1: their starting defensive tackles back, including key runs stuffer Michael Pierce,
Speaker 1: who's missed two months of time. He'll he is expected
Speaker 1: to play in this game. Minnesota's allowed of rushing touchdown
Speaker 1: in seven of the past eight games, and I think
Speaker 1: Williams does find the end zone here and a B
Speaker 1: grade on him. The only part of the passing game
Speaker 1: that I'm giving a starting grade two is t J
Speaker 1: Hockenson and it's a bit's it's a seed that I
Speaker 1: had as a bench for a long time. Only there
Speaker 1: is something less than a sea. But there's not a
Speaker 1: letter between C and bench. I mean it's there a
Speaker 1: Harpoons kind of a Vikings fantastic against tight ends, allowing
Speaker 1: one touchdown to the position all year. Nobody's top forty
Speaker 1: four yards since Week three, and athletic linebacker Anthony Barr
Speaker 1: likely plays in this game and he'll get a lot
Speaker 1: of the Hockinson assignments. Hockinson only managed two catches for
Speaker 1: twenty two yards and no touchdown in the first match.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm moving to the bench. That's it,
Speaker 1: and the whole arrest of the passing games on the bench,
Speaker 1: I don't even have to talk about golf and Cliff
Speaker 1: Raymond and I'm on ross A Brown and Josh Reynolds,
Speaker 1: including Josh Reynolds. I know we had three catches for
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Last name, did you see the goff record
Speaker 1: without Sean McVeigh. Uh? Is it like two wins or something?
Speaker 1: Two career wins zero sixteen and one? Oh man, when
Speaker 1: did he have? What were the other So he's oh
Speaker 1: ten and one now, right, So where were these other
Speaker 1: six losses when Jeff Fisher was oh, back in the
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher days, right right? Wow, That says plenty and
Speaker 1: maybe more about Sean McVeigh than anything else. Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: got Jared Goff to a super Bowl. It's amazing. That
Speaker 1: is amazing. Let's go to one more matchup in this segment,
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Jets. Matt I I talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about about Boston Scott, but let's talk about
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Jalen Hurts may very well not go
Speaker 1: in this one. He's got the bad foot, so even
Speaker 1: if he does play, you might not get the rushing
Speaker 1: out of him that you desperate need. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: practicing this week game time decision nursing an ankle injury.
Speaker 1: Probably not a good thing for running quarterback. Going against
Speaker 1: the defense that hasn't allowed anything to running quarterback, It's
Speaker 1: really easy to run against the Jets as a running back.
Speaker 1: In the game. Scripts haven't forced quarterbacks to run much
Speaker 1: this year. The Jets have only allowed one touchdown on
Speaker 1: the ground to a quarterback this year, in an average
Speaker 1: of eight rushing yards per game. Add add in Hurts injury,
Speaker 1: and I think they'll try to keep the alley's off Hurts.
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna keep him in the pockets, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give him just a C grade. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw. That's not his best trade. But the Jets
Speaker 1: are allowing two seventy seven passing yards per game. UM
Speaker 1: As far as other receivers, I'll give Davanta Smith a C.
Speaker 1: But the rest are on the bench. Everyone hates Jalen
Speaker 1: Reagor by the way, yeah they should after the two
Speaker 1: drop passes at the end of that game. Really h
Speaker 1: Smith is only top seventy yards once in the last
Speaker 1: seven weeks, but has scored thrice in the last four weeks,
Speaker 1: so that's why he gets the sea. Dallas Goddart was obsent, absent,
Speaker 1: absent last week against the Giants, one catch for zero
Speaker 1: yards on three targets. But I'll give him a see though,
Speaker 1: as he was able to top sixty yards and three
Speaker 1: of the prior five games, and the Jets are allowing
Speaker 1: sixty yards per game two tight ends. That's the seventh most.
Speaker 1: The running backs are just an absolute disaster. Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: didn't play the second half of last week's game, which
Speaker 1: led to many believe that he wouldn't play this week
Speaker 1: because he was injured. But no, he practiced in full
Speaker 1: on Thursday, so now it looks like he's going to
Speaker 1: play now. But ankles are tricky. Just asks Scott fish Um.
Speaker 1: Lots of people pivoted to Boston. Scott and Charge talked
Speaker 1: about him a little bit. He's missed every practice this
Speaker 1: week with a non COVID illness. Jordan Howard also missed
Speaker 1: practice with a knee injury. He looks more doubtful than questionable.
Speaker 1: And Nick Sirianni won't give Kenny Gainewell more than three
Speaker 1: touches per game. They faced the worst run defense in
Speaker 1: the league their bottom seven and every statistical category against
Speaker 1: the run, including dead last and touchdowns, with twenty one
Speaker 1: total to running backs almost two game. Sanders, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give a B. If Scott is active, he gets to
Speaker 1: see I don't think Howard goes, but if he does,
Speaker 1: he gets yeah, okay, And and if Scott and Howard
Speaker 1: are both inactive for this game, Miles Sanders vaults to A.
Speaker 1: Maybe Miles Sanders goes to an A. But then Kenny
Speaker 1: Gainwell gets a harpoon in this one. Oh, I like
Speaker 1: the sound of that. On the other side, it's the
Speaker 1: Jets harpoon. You can't start a running back on the Jets.
Speaker 1: We all thought Ty Johnson would get some usage with
Speaker 1: Michael Carter out, but he was third in the pecking
Speaker 1: order last week, behind Tevin Coleman and Austin Walter. Austin
Speaker 1: Walter scored the short touchdown and Tevin, who is not good,
Speaker 1: ended up with eighteen touches. If you have to start one,
Speaker 1: it's probably Coleman, who saw the most targets last week,
Speaker 1: as the Eagles have allowed the third most receptions to
Speaker 1: running back but are good everywhere else against the run,
Speaker 1: and you can't start anyone in the passing game either.
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson was able to beat the Texans last week
Speaker 1: on one d and forty five passing yards. He's only
Speaker 1: top the two hundred yard mark once in his last
Speaker 1: five games. In seven total games, he's thrown four total
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. That takes out all the wide receivers. If
Speaker 1: you do start one, it's Elijah Moore, who saw eight
Speaker 1: targets last week from Wilson but could only manage four
Speaker 1: forty six. But the deepest dart throw of them all
Speaker 1: is Jets tight end Ryan Griffin. Griffin leads the Jets
Speaker 1: and red zone targets with five on the season. Jets
Speaker 1: tight end, the Jets tight ends right, thank you. The
Speaker 1: Eagles are dead last in the league against the tight end,
Speaker 1: the most receptions and yards and the second most touchdowns allowed. Griffin,
Speaker 1: that's like a sixteen team tight end premium level start
Speaker 1: right here for Ryan Griffin. If you absolutely Chris Chris
Speaker 1: my Ark for the Giants tight end scored on the
Speaker 1: Eagles last week, if he could do it right, uh
Speaker 1: An Tonio Brown's gonna miss three games. I've reason to
Speaker 1: believe that brings him back Week sixteen. That is the
Speaker 1: reason semi final week for most fantasy leagues. So he'd
Speaker 1: be there for two of your three, you know, two
Speaker 1: of potentially two of your three playoff games if you're
Speaker 1: alive to that point. But do you burn a roster
Speaker 1: spot in Antonio Brown and hold him all this time
Speaker 1: waiting for him to come back? What do you guys
Speaker 1: think I am in this situation in a couple of leagues,
Speaker 1: I was, as we remember from the preseason, I thought
Speaker 1: he was going to be the best Bucks receiver and
Speaker 1: through six weeks you were right there. So I'm in
Speaker 1: this situation in quite a few leagues. Uh, those those games,
Speaker 1: I believe are the Panthers and Jets. I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: a real quick, Yes, I'm pretty sure it's Panthers and Jets.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that Jets matchup. Panthers matchup not
Speaker 1: as great, but there's a lot of weapons for the Panthers,
Speaker 1: but they're really decent on the back end. Um, he
Speaker 1: was wide receiver six in points per game Fantasy points
Speaker 1: per games through six weeks. If he comes back at
Speaker 1: full health, he was gonna miss a couple of games anyway,
Speaker 1: I think he's worth it on a championship Austar at
Speaker 1: the back of your batch. I'm going to hold him.
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to hold him as well, because I think
Speaker 1: he is. He's just he was so good before and
Speaker 1: he should be healthy at that point, and Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: was so good. Yeah, I wouldn't hold him. The Panthers
Speaker 1: are actually a very good the Jets, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a week seven team game. They'll have already locked up
Speaker 1: the NFC South. There's not going to be much of
Speaker 1: a reason to get Antonio Brown. They're not gonna be
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. But it's also a hey, run the ball.
Speaker 1: It's the Jets, you don't have to. That's that's Tom
Speaker 1: Ray always it's terrible. But by the way, the Bucks
Speaker 1: they're there. Their pass rates, even when they're blowing teams out,
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. They just keep passing. So if Calvin Ridley
Speaker 1: has been dropped, are you picking him up? You know
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, I mean, it's he can come back any day.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm that minute true. Now he could decide
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be bad. Falcons are not out of
Speaker 1: the playoff race. It's not It doesn't look great, but
Speaker 1: they're not out of it. It really depends on your team.
Speaker 1: I have a team where he's on waivers and I
Speaker 1: have not picked him up, So I guess answer in
Speaker 1: that league, no, But there are other leagues where I
Speaker 1: definitely would, So I think it's a little roster dependent,
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, that's what do you think about
Speaker 1: trading for him in a dynasty league? We're at the
Speaker 1: right now, this training deadline, a lot of weeks right here.
Speaker 1: What do you think about trading for Calvin Ridley for
Speaker 1: next year? At what might possibly be the lowest. I
Speaker 1: actually did trade for him last week in one of
Speaker 1: my dynasty leagues where I'm not really competing this year.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a savvy move. I believe
Speaker 1: he is back with Atlanta next year, but beyond that
Speaker 1: he's not, so I believe it. This is his last
Speaker 1: year with the Falcons under contract, so makes it kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. One second dynasty trade I saw this week
Speaker 1: in one of my league's Austin Nuckler for Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey. Damn, wow, it's come. It's come to
Speaker 1: this for christ whim now for you know, two future assets,
Speaker 1: and that is that is a that's a win. That's
Speaker 1: that's that is a win now trade, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: One of the playoffs. As the playoffs are approaching for
Speaker 1: those people that uh for league's average league has got
Speaker 1: six teams that go to the playoffs. Right of the six,
Speaker 1: I believe that that six teams should get in on
Speaker 1: points score. It should not go just by record, because
Speaker 1: so often times a very high scoring team has just
Speaker 1: had some bad luck on who they've played. Are you
Speaker 1: guys with me on this? Totally with you? This is
Speaker 1: what I've done for twenty years. We have a team
Speaker 1: in in my my home league that's four and eight
Speaker 1: right now, but they're the third highest scoring team in
Speaker 1: the league and they deserve to be in. They deserve
Speaker 1: to be in. And the way you know, the way
Speaker 1: you know it's this is this is the right way
Speaker 1: to go. If you're that one seed, who would you
Speaker 1: rather face the sixth best record or the highest scoring
Speaker 1: remaining teams? Right, you'd always want to play the sixth
Speaker 1: best record. That's the worst tad. By the way, you
Speaker 1: should let your teams with the higher seed to pick
Speaker 1: their pick their opponent on the playoffs, pick your poison.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I don't know, but I love it.
Speaker 1: When we come back Fantasy Football Weekly, we will answer
Speaker 1: three tough questions. Play along, see if you can go
Speaker 1: three and note with our panel experts. When we return.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly is our number two Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: Paul charchy In, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison brought to
Speaker 1: you by Guillotine leagues dot com. All my player rankings
Speaker 1: available for free Guillotine leagues dot com. This is a
Speaker 1: segment we like to call three tough questions and we
Speaker 1: traditionally start right here, tough question number one. We'll take
Speaker 1: some Hill finishes a top ten quarterback eleven through fifteen
Speaker 1: or sixteen or worse from this point forward, Scott, I'm
Speaker 1: doing it man, top ten. I'm going top ten. The
Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks are avaging like nineteen or more fantasy
Speaker 1: points per game. Taysom Hill just dropped, depending on your scoring,
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty eight fantasy points in a game.
Speaker 1: He looked terrible most of the game through four interceptions,
Speaker 1: including a pick six, but his rushing gets got him there. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you know me, Even if the rushing comes down, the
Speaker 1: interceptions are probably gonna come down as well. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have a lot of twenty point games. He did last time,
Speaker 1: and he didn't get a rushing touchdown this He had
Speaker 1: like five rushing touchdowns in his four full starts last
Speaker 1: year or something four and four. Yeah, so I haven't
Speaker 1: been in top ten, all right, Matt will Tastom Hill
Speaker 1: finishes a top ten quarterback eleven through fifteen or sixteenth
Speaker 1: or worse. So he did run for a hundred yards
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. There's only been two other quarterback one
Speaker 1: hundred yard rushing games this year LaMarche accident in week two,
Speaker 1: justin fields in week eight, Nope, just once. Rushing scores
Speaker 1: are even more important. By the way, Sam Donald is
Speaker 1: still quarterback twenty five based solely on his five rushing scores.
Speaker 1: Tannehill also has five. He's quarterback thirteen in total points.
Speaker 1: So even if Hill is a below average passer, if
Speaker 1: he can keep up what he does on the ground
Speaker 1: and score a few along the way, he's going to
Speaker 1: finish out the season in the eleven to fifteen range. Secretly,
Speaker 1: this question actually is will take him He'll keep the
Speaker 1: starting job because if he does, he almost can't fall
Speaker 1: out of the top ten. This is uh, this is
Speaker 1: has spent especially thorny question that way because his passing
Speaker 1: is bad enough to get him benched. He'll finish is
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback in three of four games last year.
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it this week, making it four out
Speaker 1: of five. And you think you won't have another four
Speaker 1: interception game, which would help. But it's just so plausible
Speaker 1: for him to get to a top ten ranking every week.
Speaker 1: The problem is is Trevor Simeon was already benched for
Speaker 1: his passing. I know, but Here's the thing. Simeon is
Speaker 1: not good, but he's a better pastor than Taysom Hill is.
Speaker 1: Here's what Taysom Hill has to average to get safely
Speaker 1: in the top ten every week. Just two d passing
Speaker 1: yards which is nothing, one passing touchdown, fifty rushing yards
Speaker 1: he averages in the five starts so far, he averages
Speaker 1: sixty three and half a rushing touchdown. He's going to
Speaker 1: do that easily most weeks. The only question you really
Speaker 1: have to ask is will he keep the starting job?
Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes. Tough question number two?
Speaker 1: Who will finish as the lead back for the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Matt Now, does the lead back mean who's going to
Speaker 1: have more touches this year? Yes? It does. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't care who gets the first touch of the game.
Speaker 1: So just to clarify, I don't care about necessarily the start.
Speaker 1: Penny game in the first does not lead back. It's
Speaker 1: still Zeke. Then he had fifteen touches on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: to Pollard's nine. There's only been one game this year
Speaker 1: where Pollard has had more. That was Thanksgiving where Zeke
Speaker 1: bruised his knee, and in that game, Pollard only led
Speaker 1: fifteen to fourteen. Now we all see it. Pollard is
Speaker 1: a better back. He's a better back. The other thing
Speaker 1: we all see is Jerry Jones paid Zeke a bazillion
Speaker 1: dollars and Mike McCarthy is an idiot who just keeps
Speaker 1: feeding the ball to Zeke. So Zeke's gonna see more
Speaker 1: touches down the stretch. He's still the lead back. No
Speaker 1: matter how much we beg and play Scott. I have
Speaker 1: the same thing and virtually the same stuff, It's still
Speaker 1: going to be Zeke. For some reason. Jerry Jones runs
Speaker 1: this team. He he is limping on the field, He
Speaker 1: is noticeably limping and and just lumbering on the field,
Speaker 1: and they just keep dead boys, gonna be dead boys,
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna keep riding Zeke for some reason. Yes,
Speaker 1: I have almost all your talking points as well, but
Speaker 1: I'll mention this one of the other things that's gonna
Speaker 1: make it hard for Pollard, who's unquestionably the better back.
Speaker 1: Zeke's a far better past blocker. Pro Football Focus ranks
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard as the league's one hundred twelve best past
Speaker 1: blocking rock back. I did not see that one coming.
Speaker 1: Bad stuff about Pollard yeah, so, I mean I think
Speaker 1: that's gonna factor into this as well. We want this
Speaker 1: change to come more than the team seems to want
Speaker 1: it to come. It ought to. If they want to
Speaker 1: give themselves the best chance to win, they should make
Speaker 1: that change. But I don't trust three. What is the
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts? Is it none?
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott.
Speaker 1: I mean he's hurt right now, which that that should
Speaker 1: mean some, I guess, but I'm thinking long term for
Speaker 1: the whole rest of the season. Here. He gets the
Speaker 1: Jets twice, he gets Washington twice, he gets the Giants
Speaker 1: in the five fantasy relevant games he's about to play,
Speaker 1: those are all very positive matchups. He was progressing as
Speaker 1: a passer up until he got hurt. Um, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be that concerned about the injury. I really
Speaker 1: feel like his rushing plus his passing progressing and those matchups,
Speaker 1: I don't have much concern. Okay, So none, Okay, all right, Matt.
Speaker 1: Is the appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts? None?
Speaker 1: Some or bload? Uh. He's at at least fifty rushing
Speaker 1: yards in five straight. In fact, during that Spanni's averaging
Speaker 1: sixty six point four just under a rushing score per game,
Speaker 1: you can basically bank on ten fantasy points per game
Speaker 1: from just a rushing standpoint. But the passing is still
Speaker 1: really bad. Under two hundred yards and seven of his
Speaker 1: last eight prior to that in games where he was
Speaker 1: forced to throw against Dallas in Kansas City, he was
Speaker 1: able to eclipse the three yard mark in both. But
Speaker 1: after the Jets this week, probably the best thing for
Speaker 1: him is he gets a buy next week and he
Speaker 1: can heal up a little bit. Then he gets football
Speaker 1: team Giants and football team again in your fantasy playoffs,
Speaker 1: and football team has allowed the fifth most rushing yards
Speaker 1: per game to opposing quarterbacks. They're also bottom eight in
Speaker 1: passing yards and passing scores allowed. The Eagles are still
Speaker 1: in playoff contention in the NFC two. I don't think
Speaker 1: they make a change. I have no concern about Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: As you know, he's been salvaging his box scores with
Speaker 1: his running, which has been consistently good all season long,
Speaker 1: although not as many touchdowns as you probably think. He's
Speaker 1: only scored rushing touchdowns in four games. Yeah, but but
Speaker 1: he has eight in those games. But sooner or later,
Speaker 1: your quarterback has to be able to pass the ball.
Speaker 1: And he hasn't topped the meager threshold of one hundred
Speaker 1: seventy eight passing yards in five weeks, and going back
Speaker 1: to week five, Hurts is averaging less than one less
Speaker 1: than one passing touchdown per game. You know what he needs,
Speaker 1: He needs to get right type of schedule with really
Speaker 1: easy matchups to Well, here's the funny thing. His backup
Speaker 1: maybe getting the get right opponent this week, Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: What if he starts this game and looks good against
Speaker 1: the Jets. He always looks right. Then the door opens,
Speaker 1: so and then they're heading into the bye week. They
Speaker 1: can prep up Minshew to be ready the week after that.
Speaker 1: There's a scenario here, a not impossible maybe it's implausible,
Speaker 1: but not impossible scenario where Gardner Minshew challenges Hurts for
Speaker 1: the job as early as a few days from now.
Speaker 1: Final I'll pick up Minshew and the Eagles are right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the playoff hunt, and they won't
Speaker 1: play Hurts just to get him reps. If he's not
Speaker 1: the best quarterback. They have to play the best quarterback,
Speaker 1: and your quarterbacks have to be able to pass at
Speaker 1: some point, and Hurts his passing isn't there yet. The
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Jalen Hurts is some Our
Speaker 1: next matchup is the Bucks taking on the Falcons Scott.
Speaker 1: But the Bucks Leonard Fournet with a big game last week,
Speaker 1: what do you think about He's I canna score four times?
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Leonard four Nett this
Speaker 1: week in this matchup with the Falcons. I have him
Speaker 1: scoring five times. No, no, no, no no no. I am
Speaker 1: a B grade on Leonard Fournett, mostly because he's a
Speaker 1: lock for fifteen plus touches weekly. I know, I know
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is getting in there. He's he's but he
Speaker 1: hasn't had more than ten touches in any game this year.
Speaker 1: He's just scored a couple of times. You can't trust that.
Speaker 1: It's a little flukey. So I have Jones on the bench.
Speaker 1: But with four net he had seventy six yards in
Speaker 1: the first meeting, a three score blowout, meaning he got
Speaker 1: he got some work at the He got enough work
Speaker 1: in a three score blowout to get seventy six yards.
Speaker 1: The Bucks keep passing when they are up. That's a
Speaker 1: problem for him, but he still managed that in that game.
Speaker 1: The but the uh, sorry, excuse me, the Falcons are
Speaker 1: allowing the eighth most yards to running backs. So I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get enough to to lock in a
Speaker 1: B grade here. Uh in the passing game, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: I have an A grade on as a member of
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I've tweeted out some of these stats. These
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. With Brady and Godwin against against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: Three games Brady has played the Falcons as a member
Speaker 1: of the Bucks. Three yards, two touchdowns, three yards, four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: two seventy six yards, five touchdowns. It's he's just destroying
Speaker 1: the Falcons. A grade there. Godwin also in A grade.
Speaker 1: He's played six games against the Bucks. He's topped a
Speaker 1: hundred yards four of them, and he scored nine times
Speaker 1: nine times in those six games. Not just nine times,
Speaker 1: he scored in every game. He scored twice in three
Speaker 1: of them. It's yeah, I have a B grade on Evans.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get the same volume as Godwin, but he
Speaker 1: can explode on a dime and he scores a ton more.
Speaker 1: Evans buggaboo. Early in his career, doesn't score touchdowns. He
Speaker 1: has twenty three touchdowns in two years with Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Not bad. He's got ten this Year's become consistent with it.
Speaker 1: B grade on Evans uh Gronk I got an A
Speaker 1: grade on him. Thirteen catches for nearly two hundred yards
Speaker 1: since he's come back from injury. Uh. He was tight
Speaker 1: end two before he got injured. He's tight end four
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. Right back to him, Right
Speaker 1: back to him now that he's healthy. On the other side,
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's on the bench. He's only finished as a
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback twice this year. He's barely startable. He
Speaker 1: has one touchdown and five picks over the last three games.
Speaker 1: It's a good matchup, but he doesn't have really he's
Speaker 1: the offensive matchup. The Tampa Bay secondaries getting about Carl
Speaker 1: Davis coming back, and we talked about this earlier in
Speaker 1: the year that they were injured. That's why their secondary
Speaker 1: was bad early and this is turning into a good
Speaker 1: secondary again. Russell gauge I, I, he was gonna take
Speaker 1: a chance on me player. Uh. Dyle pits Man, what
Speaker 1: do you do with Kyle pits Like if he had
Speaker 1: two more touchdowns, he would be tight end three on
Speaker 1: the year. That's how ridiculous it is. He's got so many,
Speaker 1: but he's not. And he's got scored in one game
Speaker 1: this year, over over the last over the last month.
Speaker 1: Guess how many red zone targets he has. I think
Speaker 1: to target him a bunch, just one zone target in
Speaker 1: the last so he doesn't he doesn't get you scores.
Speaker 1: You gotta hope for yards, which is what the Bucks
Speaker 1: are giving up to tight ends. So I gotta c
Speaker 1: grade on him because you're starting him. But it feels
Speaker 1: gross to start him sometimes. Uh. Cordarrel Patterson running back,
Speaker 1: Cordarrel Patterson A grade. Actually he's hybrid hybrid. My thing
Speaker 1: with Cordarrel Patterson is he's completely game script immune. They
Speaker 1: get behind, they pass it to him, they jump ahead,
Speaker 1: they run it with him, and he gets both no
Speaker 1: matter what. He gets at least fifteen touches in every
Speaker 1: game he plays, at least nine. Then in the snaps
Speaker 1: in his nine full games, he scored nine times. What
Speaker 1: so he basically every generally general score three times against
Speaker 1: the Bucks generally. No, that was the he scored three
Speaker 1: times in the overseas game against what was the Jags.
Speaker 1: I believe, um uh, generally you don't play running backs
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. So I'm gonna play Patterson the wide
Speaker 1: receiver against the Bucks. I hear what you're saying. I
Speaker 1: just I worry about the rushing yards simply not developing.
Speaker 1: And he runs for like twenty three yards, okay, and
Speaker 1: he gets sixty receiving and maybe a score. I mean,
Speaker 1: then you're up to in the score. Alright, a few receptions.
Speaker 1: I want to believe your reichs. I've got Patterson in
Speaker 1: a couple of leaks, and I've currently got him on
Speaker 1: the bench in two guillotine leagues. So maybe I have
Speaker 1: to rethink that a little bit. When we come back,
Speaker 1: Ravens take on the Steelers. We haven't had a good
Speaker 1: game from Lamar Jackson in a long time. Is this
Speaker 1: going to be the one? We'll tell you when we
Speaker 1: return Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. We've
Speaker 1: got a block of matchups for you. Letter grades on
Speaker 1: all the salient players, beginning with the Ravens taking on
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Let's begin with a running game. A C
Speaker 1: grade on DeVonta Freeman as mundane as he has been
Speaker 1: his volume and opportunity remains so high that he stays
Speaker 1: startable here. He's averaging seventeen touches per game over the
Speaker 1: last month for Baltimore, and it's seventeen touches pretty much
Speaker 1: anybody is startable. That volume should be helpful against the
Speaker 1: Steelers defense allowing the most rushing yards and touchdowns over
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. Go figure DeVonta Freeman C grade.
Speaker 1: Considered giving him a B grade here just because of
Speaker 1: how much the Steel's defense has slumped. And t J.
Speaker 1: Watt not expected to go here. And for all to
Speaker 1: talk about t J Watt, his excellence is a pass rusher.
Speaker 1: He's also a very good run stopper. They won't have
Speaker 1: him there. Let's go to the passing game. I want
Speaker 1: to begin with the receivers and Marcus Brown, who gets
Speaker 1: an A grade. Steelers pass defenses struggle lately, and cornerback
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden will miss this game and that will help Brown,
Speaker 1: who scored a scored in both of last year's matchups
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Steelers have allowed consecutive one hundred yard
Speaker 1: receiving performances and if there's gonna be a third, Brown
Speaker 1: is by far the most likely Ravens receiver to continue
Speaker 1: that trend. Rashade Bateman, though, I'm putting on the bench soon.
Speaker 1: We keep saying like this is the week that Rashod
Speaker 1: Bateman is gonna break out, But for once, I don't
Speaker 1: think this is the week he's gonna break out. It
Speaker 1: has materialized yet, despite plenty of targets positive matchups, and
Speaker 1: this is just a neutral matchup. He's averaging just forty
Speaker 1: eight scoreless yards per game over the last month. So
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Bateman on the bench at this point. Be
Speaker 1: great on Mark Andrews, averaging a whopping nine targets per
Speaker 1: game since the bye week. He leads the team in
Speaker 1: red zone targets. The Steelers have allowed almost sixty yards
Speaker 1: per game to tight ends since Week eight, but none
Speaker 1: of them have scored. And Andrews has never scored against
Speaker 1: the Steelers, so this might be a yardage game and
Speaker 1: not a touchdown game for Andrews. Roll all that together
Speaker 1: and we've got to be grade on Lamar Jackson. I
Speaker 1: think he's coming off a bad game. I think he
Speaker 1: rebounds to a great degree here. Steelers are middle of
Speaker 1: the road past defense. They're giving up two passing yards
Speaker 1: and one and a half passing touchdowns per game. That said,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow just ran for a touchdown against them. Week
Speaker 1: before that, justin air there ran for nine yards on
Speaker 1: the Steelers. So back to back good rushing weeks by quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and here comes Lamar Jackson, now at full health. I
Speaker 1: think he gets plenty done on the ground here. Again
Speaker 1: be grade for him. Let's over to the Steelers side.
Speaker 1: We'll begin with the running game here and Naji Harris
Speaker 1: with just the C grade. The broader Steelers woes here
Speaker 1: are affecting Harris a great deal, coming off his worst
Speaker 1: fantasy game of the year after his team fell behind
Speaker 1: very early last week, averaging a dismal three point three
Speaker 1: yards per carry over the past six games. That's brutal
Speaker 1: for Naji Harris. Steeler's offensive line is major hindrance for him.
Speaker 1: Only one back is crap Has has cracked sixty rushing
Speaker 1: yards against Baltimore and only three of topped one hundred
Speaker 1: total yards, so I don't think Harris is going to
Speaker 1: get near that. Normally, Harris is receiving gives him a
Speaker 1: safe floor, but the Bravens have been awesome against receiving backs.
Speaker 1: No backs top three catches or twenty seven yards since
Speaker 1: way back in Week six. So there's just nothing to
Speaker 1: like about Harris's game here other than volume and usage.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receivers. Deonte Johnson gets a B grade,
Speaker 1: and you know the deal on Johnson. Lots of targets,
Speaker 1: lots of catches, lots of yards, and no touchdowns. That
Speaker 1: is the likely scenario this week as well. Ravens give
Speaker 1: up a lot of receiving yards to whiteouts and very
Speaker 1: few touchdowns. Your glimmer of hope for the end zone
Speaker 1: for Deonte Johnson is this. He will face Marlon Humphrey
Speaker 1: most often on the outside, and he's given up four
Speaker 1: scores on the season, which is as many as he
Speaker 1: gave up all of last year. So glimmer of hope
Speaker 1: for Johnson. But I don't think he scores here. And
Speaker 1: it's another heavy volume and yardage game for a B grade.
Speaker 1: You know, giving up that many touchdowns, we can call
Speaker 1: that the Gettysburg four scores. I like that the Gettysburg
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool has commanded at least eight targets in two
Speaker 1: straight games, volume he hadn't seen since in back to
Speaker 1: back weeks. Since Week two, and three, and we'll hope
Speaker 1: it continues here because it led to eighty plus yards
Speaker 1: in back to back games. Weirdly, for Claypool, who has
Speaker 1: built four touchdowns, he has not scored in five straight games,
Speaker 1: and that is sadly. I'm probably going to continue because
Speaker 1: he will most often face Anthony Averett, who has given
Speaker 1: up just two touchdowns all season long. Pat Friarmouth has
Speaker 1: been a great breakout story here and especially with Eric
Speaker 1: Ebron on I r um. You know we're bemoaning the
Speaker 1: lack of scoring for Johnson Claypole. We'll it's all going
Speaker 1: to Pat friar Muth for Pete's sake. Since his bye week,
Speaker 1: Friarmouth leads the team in red zone targets and has
Speaker 1: scored five touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Ravens have allowed three scores
Speaker 1: of tight ends in their last five games. They're also
Speaker 1: giving up sixty four yards per game to the position.
Speaker 1: That is a lot. So Friarmouth B grade. So if
Speaker 1: I roll all of those receivers, if Johnson, Claypool and
Speaker 1: Friarmouth all have a B grade, I guess I kind
Speaker 1: of have to give Ben Roethlisberger a B grade right now.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him grade um. You know the drill here,
Speaker 1: lots of passing, low efficiency, not enough scoring. But Baltimore
Speaker 1: gives him a lot of upside. Among teams that have
Speaker 1: had their by Baltimore surrendered the most passing yards to
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks, and I think the yards are gonna come
Speaker 1: here even if I don't have an explosive game on
Speaker 1: the docket for Ben Roethlisberger. Some of his ex teammates
Speaker 1: have come out and former players have come on, so
Speaker 1: they should bench Ben Roethlisberger. But I don't think they
Speaker 1: know who's on the depth chart, apparently because there's nobody
Speaker 1: to turn to here. Dwayne Haskins to Boskins, right, Matt
Speaker 1: forty Niners taking on the Seahawks. Forty Niners. Elijah Mitchell
Speaker 1: coming off of back to back twenty seven carry games.
Speaker 1: How do you like him this week against the Seahawks
Speaker 1: thirty two total touches last week against the Vikings hundred
Speaker 1: and six yards and a scoring that one he gets
Speaker 1: an A grade. He faces the awful Seahawks run d
Speaker 1: which already highlighted a bit and take a chance on me.
Speaker 1: But I will add that they saw a similar bell
Speaker 1: cow workload from Antonio Gibson last week, who had thirty
Speaker 1: six touches and a hundred and forty six yards. I
Speaker 1: did use Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle use check in to
Speaker 1: take a chance on me segment. Both of them get
Speaker 1: a C grade. Deebo Samuel we mentioned will miss this
Speaker 1: week with a growing strain, So I'm gonna give Brandon
Speaker 1: Auk a B grade here. Eighty five or more yards
Speaker 1: in three of his last four, scored in two of
Speaker 1: those four. He's back in the good graces of Shanahan.
Speaker 1: But we're not going to go as far on the
Speaker 1: wide receivers to reach for John Jennings or Trent Sherfield here.
Speaker 1: George Kittle was a big disappointment last week after scoring
Speaker 1: in the three previous games. I'm going right back to him,
Speaker 1: though he gets an A grade this week. The Seahawks
Speaker 1: have allowed the eighth most receptions to the tight end position,
Speaker 1: and they allowed a huge day to Zechert two weeks
Speaker 1: ago where he had eight catches and scored twice. Plus
Speaker 1: the Niners targeted Kittle eleven times in the first meeting
Speaker 1: with Seattle this year on the Seahawks side, on on
Speaker 1: our like internal slack. I jokingly asked if Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: was take a chance on me worthy, it's if he's
Speaker 1: even on a roster at this stage. Roster still. He
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown for three yards since Week two. Uh, he
Speaker 1: doesn't run the ball that much anymore. He's only averaging
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing yards per game in his last six games.
Speaker 1: He's hit the two touchdown mark only twice. And his
Speaker 1: high water mark for yardage in twenty career games against
Speaker 1: the fort Can you guess what it is? Apparently it's
Speaker 1: not that high the way you've set it up, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess like two yards two hundred sixty one
Speaker 1: yard games. Plus, the Niners defense has been really good
Speaker 1: the last month or so. No quarterback has topped two
Speaker 1: D fifty passing yards since Week three. Only three quarterbacks
Speaker 1: have hit the double digit or the double touchdown mark
Speaker 1: in the last eight games, but one of them was
Speaker 1: russ So I'll give him a courtesy C grade here.
Speaker 1: But he's teetering near the sabotage drop cliff. The last
Speaker 1: week on the show, we said sabotage drop him. Well,
Speaker 1: then you already pushed him over u DK Metcalf and
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett they might be there too. Uh. They both
Speaker 1: get C grades in this one. DK has scored four
Speaker 1: times in his last four meetings with San Francisco, Lockett
Speaker 1: three three times in the same span, and actually DK
Speaker 1: and Freddie Swain scored in the earlier meeting this year.
Speaker 1: Metcalf didn't catch a ball last week until the final minute,
Speaker 1: and Locket is so reliant on the big splash play
Speaker 1: but he only gets like three four catches a game.
Speaker 1: The Niners have only allowed two touchdown passes to a
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the last five weeks, and both went
Speaker 1: to Adam Feeling last week. So if I had to
Speaker 1: bet on a touchdown for a wide receiver in this one,
Speaker 1: I'd give it to lock It, who should face a
Speaker 1: healthy dose of Emmanuel Moseley, who gave up the scores
Speaker 1: last week. But it's gross Gerald Everett. He's on the bench,
Speaker 1: by the way. And then the Seattle running game is
Speaker 1: on a rock. I got one running game that I
Speaker 1: think is worse in this league. That'll that that I'll
Speaker 1: that I'll put out in the final. Alex Collins and
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas and maybe Adrian Peterson are all on the bench.
Speaker 1: Uh Collins is still working through an abdomen injury and
Speaker 1: was limited in practiced this week. D Dallas is limited too.
Speaker 1: They don't trust him that much either, because they made
Speaker 1: him split the word workload with an injured Collins last week,
Speaker 1: and they signed Peterson to the practice squad because Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch was not available this weekend. There are media reports
Speaker 1: saying they're gonna elevate Peterson over the weekend. Didn't play
Speaker 1: him in this game now. And then there's the defense.
Speaker 1: Dalvin and Madison combined for seventeen carries and only sixty
Speaker 1: yards on the ground last week. The Niners held James
Speaker 1: Robinson twenty nine yards the week before and Darryl Henderson
Speaker 1: was held to thirty one yards the week before. So
Speaker 1: there's no way you can start anything that was that
Speaker 1: was a minute and a half on. Don't start any
Speaker 1: of those, you know, you know what, don't don't have
Speaker 1: Seattle backs on your Russell drop out Collins is. You
Speaker 1: give him ten carries, he'll get you forty yards. You
Speaker 1: give him twenty carries, he'll get you forty yards. Like
Speaker 1: the Leroy Horde of modern day. Speaking at James Robinson,
Speaker 1: he's the only Jaguar worth mentioning as we turn our
Speaker 1: attention to Jags taking on the Rams, Scott nobody no
Speaker 1: other part of the Jaguars offense. You don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be big. He led the team in targets and
Speaker 1: receiving yards last week did for our first rounder. Robinson's
Speaker 1: got the foot injury, and just when I watched him play,
Speaker 1: he's just you can tell that's what is bothering him.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the limited practice all When he's limited
Speaker 1: all week and there's not a great matchup, I'm nervous
Speaker 1: about James Robinson here. What do you think I still
Speaker 1: have a C grade on him? Because despite being limited
Speaker 1: all week, this is a guy who plays hurt. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if for sure, I wonder if it's that's
Speaker 1: undrafted nature in him. He's like, I gotta stay on
Speaker 1: this team. They drafted a first round running back. I
Speaker 1: gotta prove my worth. Uh. The Rams have allowed only
Speaker 1: allowed three backs over fifty yards this season. UH, and
Speaker 1: only James Connor and DeAndre Swift logged RB one weeks.
Speaker 1: Because Connor scored twice in DeAndre Swift caught like eight balls. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's it's a volume C grade. He's scored in almost
Speaker 1: He scored in almost every full game he's played. He's
Speaker 1: played seven full games. He's scored in six of them.
Speaker 1: So I like the chip. I like the odds that
Speaker 1: if they can get down there, they like him. At
Speaker 1: the stripe, he might get a touchdown. He might get
Speaker 1: you forty to fifty yards, maybe a little more. He
Speaker 1: does catch passes. I have a volume SEE on him
Speaker 1: or yeah. On the other side, Matthew Stafford B grade,
Speaker 1: once an obvious weekly A grade starts for the first
Speaker 1: few weeks of the season. Now I have a B
Speaker 1: grade on him. With this offense floundering a bit over
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. However, his worst game on the
Speaker 1: year is two forty three yards in the score. It's
Speaker 1: like his floor is a C grade pretty much. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Jags Basty, as we mentioned earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: has been sneaky good lately, holding four of the last
Speaker 1: five qbs under two hundred yards. Those five qbs totaled
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. But it's really just his floor is way
Speaker 1: too seefe safe. He's better than those five quarterbacks, and
Speaker 1: he's got better weapons than all those quarterbacks. I'm still
Speaker 1: giving him a B grade because even last week he
Speaker 1: had three hundred and a couple of scores and didn't
Speaker 1: honestly didn't even play all that well and be a
Speaker 1: good matchup in a really good matchup. Tough matchup. Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham expected to play in this game Cooper Cup. I
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Cooper Cup though just obvious a
Speaker 1: like his last week with O b J coming on,
Speaker 1: he had his worst game of the year, seven catches
Speaker 1: for ninety six yards. O b J expected to play.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him and Van Jefferson C grades. I like
Speaker 1: O b J went healthy a little bit more based
Speaker 1: on last week. A lot of the early passes Stafford
Speaker 1: had O b J didn't connect, kept going to him
Speaker 1: in the second half. I love seeing that Van Jefferson
Speaker 1: did exactly what he's done all season. A bunch of
Speaker 1: but like seven and six to nine targets. He only
Speaker 1: catches a few of them, but he usually catches a
Speaker 1: big one. He's done that four times, caught a big
Speaker 1: one that made his fantasy day. Otherwise he doesn't have
Speaker 1: a great fantasy day. So I have C grades on
Speaker 1: both of them. I trust O b J a little
Speaker 1: bit more I have Tyler Higbee on the bench just way,
Speaker 1: way too inconsistent, especially with O, B J and Jefferson
Speaker 1: taking so much production last week. Darrel Henderson B C grade.
Speaker 1: I would have had a B grade if he was healthy,
Speaker 1: But now I'm giving him and Michelle C grades because
Speaker 1: i think just with that, if he doesn't go, that's
Speaker 1: an obvious choice. But as we mentioned, to take a
Speaker 1: chance on me segment, I got Michelle with ten, ten, twelve,
Speaker 1: fourteen touches. I think Henderson does that. I think they
Speaker 1: split it up pretty well, and Henderson catches the ball
Speaker 1: a lot more. If Henderson doesn't go, Where do you
Speaker 1: put Sony Michelle in A grade? I had a secret Yeah,
Speaker 1: but does that without without Henderson? Either way, Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: is just so much less efficient because he's not very good.
Speaker 1: Yes you, by the way, let's let's get that straight.
Speaker 1: I'd hate to have the Sony Walkman nickname get just
Speaker 1: not get used and end up being forgotten out of
Speaker 1: the ether. That's no good when we come back. Some
Speaker 1: Dynasty stashes you'll want to make at the end of
Speaker 1: this year to set you up for next season, plus
Speaker 1: our final two matchups including Washington taking on the Raiders
Speaker 1: will tell you what to expect from a surging Antonio Gibson.
Speaker 1: When we returned Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of our
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchy and Scott Fish
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you. Up to this point of
Speaker 1: the season, we've been using premature speculation in this spot,
Speaker 1: but now that we're so late into the season, we
Speaker 1: usually retire it at some point. We're going to do
Speaker 1: that now. This is kind of dynasty premature speculation because
Speaker 1: this is the time in a lot of leagues ther
Speaker 1: roster lock is coming up for the playoffs, and so
Speaker 1: if you're in a dynasty league and you're thinking about
Speaker 1: stashes for next year, you need to make those moves
Speaker 1: sooner than later. So we're here to help you with
Speaker 1: some of the players we think can be savvy dynasty
Speaker 1: stashes that are available to pick up. That's not easy
Speaker 1: to do, or just go try to Accordred. Okay, that
Speaker 1: works for me, Scott, Do you want to go first? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The first guy I'm gonna start with. You got more
Speaker 1: than one awesome welcome back to you. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: several several points we can go. The first guy I'm
Speaker 1: going to start with this guy who I think is
Speaker 1: going to get paid in this offseason, and that is
Speaker 1: that number three wide receiver whose contract is up for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Gallup. Yeah, he looked just looked
Speaker 1: really good the last two week. He has looked really
Speaker 1: good the last two years. Uh, it's it's likely he's
Speaker 1: gonna hit free agency. It's likely he's going to one
Speaker 1: of the Yeah, I mean his contracts up, he's gonna
Speaker 1: and they're not signing can resign. He will be. He
Speaker 1: will be are one of the top wide receivers signed
Speaker 1: out there. He's gonna make like number one, number two
Speaker 1: wide receiver money for whatever team he goes to. I
Speaker 1: don't know where he's going, but he could be really
Speaker 1: good next year. Matt, give me a dynasty stash. You know,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are going there already ten million over the
Speaker 1: cap next year and they're going to have to cut
Speaker 1: money here and there. So I think they're gonna cut
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, who makes one point two mill but only
Speaker 1: a two. It's not Dalvin Cook. I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 1: not Dalvin Cook. So Cannogo is the guy that i'd
Speaker 1: like to pick up. Dalvin Cook cannot stay healthy for
Speaker 1: a full year, and the Vikings do love to run
Speaker 1: the ball. I think Cannuang Goo fills that Alex Madison
Speaker 1: role next year. But you seem to think that Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook might be on the short. You gotta make up
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. You never know. That's it's possible.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Um. By the way I learned today,
Speaker 1: can a Wong Woo? It's Wong wou wong wo. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't look at the letters because you'll never come
Speaker 1: up with that. He just take take the end of
Speaker 1: voice of the Vikings told me it's Wong woo, and
Speaker 1: he would know because he's got to call it correctly.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Can a Wong Woo Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: running back. Here's my guy, my dynasty stash Chargers tight
Speaker 1: end Donald on the list. Scratch that, Steven Anderson and
Speaker 1: Jared Cook our free agents. Parm is the only tight
Speaker 1: end under contract for the Chargers next year. And get this,
Speaker 1: justin Herbert is throwing thirty of his passes to the
Speaker 1: tight end position and Parm is a freaking beast. He's
Speaker 1: six foot eight, two hundred forty pounds. Dude is an
Speaker 1: NBA power forward with that size and if he, if
Speaker 1: he evolves his game a bit, Donald param could be
Speaker 1: scary good. It's uh, I like that param angle. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We have time at the end of
Speaker 1: the show and come back to some more of your
Speaker 1: Dynasty stashes, Scott. But let's make sure we can get
Speaker 1: in our two matchups. I don't think Scott wants to
Speaker 1: do him anymore. Maybe not. Let's Donald Palm off the table,
Speaker 1: Superstar off the board. I've done Washington's taking on the Raiders. Uh,
Speaker 1: Let's start with Antonio Gibson. In three games since Washington's
Speaker 1: Week nine, by all wins, Gibson's average twenty four carries
Speaker 1: for ninety yards and he has scored twice. Vegas is
Speaker 1: much easier to run upon than pass upon, so I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get plenty of work here. Raiders are
Speaker 1: twenty nine and touchdowns allowed to running backs with thirteen
Speaker 1: of them, and they give up over one rushing yards
Speaker 1: per game. Um, and we know that J. D. McKissick
Speaker 1: has been ruled out of this game, So maybe a
Speaker 1: couple of extra pass catches from Antonio Gibson when Dell
Speaker 1: Smallwood will factor into the j D mckiss. Yes, great,
Speaker 1: let's go to the passing game here. I've got a
Speaker 1: bench grade on Taylor Heineke. As I mentioned just mentioned,
Speaker 1: Raiders are hard to pass upon and just one touchdown
Speaker 1: pass in five of the past six games for Heineke
Speaker 1: um he doesn't provide much upside in any matchup, but
Speaker 1: especially not this one. Aside from elite passers Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Justin air Bear, Las Vegas is only
Speaker 1: a allowing two passing yards and one point two passing
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game. So where does this leave us with
Speaker 1: his receivers. It's not great, but I do have a
Speaker 1: B grade on Logan Thomas in his first game back
Speaker 1: last week nearly scored. He was on the field for
Speaker 1: of the snaps last week and that number probably vaults
Speaker 1: to which. By the way, pre injury, Logan Thomas didn't
Speaker 1: miss a snap this year, on the field for every
Speaker 1: single offensive play. Thomas has a plus matchup this week,
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game
Speaker 1: two tight ends. What's more, over the last six games,
Speaker 1: they've allowed five tight ends to finish inside the top
Speaker 1: nine at the position, so be great on Logan Thomas
Speaker 1: and Terry mclauren is one of the trickiest starts of
Speaker 1: the week. Mclauden. He'll get shadow coverage from Casey Hayward
Speaker 1: and elite cornerback allowing a passer rating of just fifty
Speaker 1: three in his coverage and zero touchdowns. A loud and
Speaker 1: for McLaurin, who in previous seasons had been pretty much
Speaker 1: matchup proof, he's been very boom er bust this year,
Speaker 1: and this feels like a bust game. Only two teams
Speaker 1: have managed a one yard receiver against the Raiders. I
Speaker 1: don't like McLaurin here. It's a respect for his abilities.
Speaker 1: See grade for Terry McLaurin. Let's go over to the
Speaker 1: Raiders side of this game. I want to start with
Speaker 1: a lot of caution on Josh Jacobs. He saw a
Speaker 1: huge spike in usage last week, but that was an
Speaker 1: anomaly on the full season where he's been averaging a
Speaker 1: mundane eleven carries per game before last week. Washington much
Speaker 1: tougher opponent to run upon than pass upon, and I
Speaker 1: don't see Jacob's getting a lot of volume here. Opponents
Speaker 1: averaging just thirteen running back rush attempts per game against
Speaker 1: Washington over the last five weeks. That is the league's
Speaker 1: lowest figure. So volume working heavily against Jacobs here. They're
Speaker 1: also going up the second fewest rushing yards and they've
Speaker 1: only allowed one score to backs over the last five weeks.
Speaker 1: So I don't like Jacobs here much at all. And
Speaker 1: just to see great I oh, I nearly had him
Speaker 1: on the bench. I keep him to see his his
Speaker 1: passing volume. I think he has like six year seventeen
Speaker 1: targets in the last three games. It's gone. It's gone
Speaker 1: up a lot, and that does that could get you
Speaker 1: the CE. I like the way you put that. Frank
Speaker 1: Moreau's may take a chance on me tight end this week,
Speaker 1: and he's got a B grade here, Hunter, Renfro, you
Speaker 1: call him Frank, I did call him. I think I
Speaker 1: don't know who's Frank Moreau. I don't know. I don't either,
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau. You did with Brian earlier this week too,
Speaker 1: I think I did. On the top you called Brian Frank.
Speaker 1: I did. Renfro has commanded at least nine targets in
Speaker 1: three of the last four games since Henry Rugg's arrest,
Speaker 1: and with Darren Waller out. It's hard to believe he's
Speaker 1: not going to continue to get heavy, heavy volume here.
Speaker 1: He's tallied one yards and or a score in three
Speaker 1: games since the Rugs arrest football team. Secondary ranks third
Speaker 1: in yards per game allowed and fourth and touchdowns allowed
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers. That is great. Washington is using a
Speaker 1: new guy in the slot, guy named Danny Johnson, generically
Speaker 1: named Danny Johnson. Sure his name is not Frank, Sure,
Speaker 1: Frank Johnson, But we don't have a lot of data
Speaker 1: on him because he's pretty much new and advantage Renfro
Speaker 1: on that particular matchup, and um so for Derek Carr.
Speaker 1: Coinciding with the loss of Henry Ruggs, Cars scored just
Speaker 1: one touchdown in three of the last four games, which
Speaker 1: is worrisome. But Washington is a bona fide slumpbuster. They've
Speaker 1: allowed a the most passing touchdowns, be the most passing
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game this year, and see multiple passing
Speaker 1: touchdowns in eight of the last nine. But I gotta
Speaker 1: go only give a B grade to Derek Carr here
Speaker 1: because of the dearth of receiving talent on this team.
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to go to any of
Speaker 1: the depth guys like Brian Edwards or z Jones or
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson in this one final matchup Jackson's interesting church.
Speaker 1: Could you queue this one up with a few sleigh
Speaker 1: bells for us? Maybe I would be honored to like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like that. I keep that going. It's sleigh bells
Speaker 1: because we've got a weather game coming on Monday night.
Speaker 1: If you believe the podcast, we are going to have
Speaker 1: what happened that's the rate. So that's the funny thing
Speaker 1: is it's going to be a combination of precipitation right
Speaker 1: at the freezing line. We could have rain, we could
Speaker 1: have snow, we could have sleet or even sneat on
Speaker 1: Monday night. We get up Monday night sneak game, and
Speaker 1: blustery conditions thirty mile in our winds expected in this game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I did look at it right before the show.
Speaker 1: The precipitation models have eased up a little bit, which
Speaker 1: I'm a little bummed about because I want to see
Speaker 1: the gross weather. Um. But the real story is the
Speaker 1: sustained wins with gusts into the mid thirties. Uh. That
Speaker 1: affects a game quite a bit more than the precipitation
Speaker 1: more than the precipitation um. And this game features the
Speaker 1: defense that's allowed the fewest yards the Bills at two
Speaker 1: d seventy five yards a game, and the fourth fewest
Speaker 1: yards the Patriots at three sixteen, and the top two
Speaker 1: scoring defenses. The Pats have allowed fifteen point eight yards
Speaker 1: per two points per game and the Bills have allowed
Speaker 1: sixteen point five points per game. So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a low scoring game here. Who can you start
Speaker 1: in this one? Damien Harris? He gets a C grade
Speaker 1: and I'll throw a harpoon at Ramandre Stevenson too. Harris
Speaker 1: did see a slightly higher snap count and touch total
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, but it's almost split evenly
Speaker 1: now and it's a brutal matchup, as the Bills allow
Speaker 1: only twenty four touches per game and a total of
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten total combo yards per game to
Speaker 1: opposing runners. Those are both top five marks. Although Harris
Speaker 1: was able to hit the hundred yard mark against the
Speaker 1: Bills last year in his only meeting against them, that
Speaker 1: was last year. That was last year. They have not
Speaker 1: played yet this year. Mac Jones was able to hit
Speaker 1: passing yards against the terrible Titans passive fence, but he
Speaker 1: gets Buffalo, the best past defense in the league and
Speaker 1: windy and wet conditions. For that reason, Mac in the
Speaker 1: entire receiving game, they're all on the bench. The Bills
Speaker 1: allow the fewest receiving yards to wide receivers, the fifth
Speaker 1: fewest to tight ends. They've only allowed eight total passing
Speaker 1: scores on the year. So Hunter, Henry, Jacoby Myers, Kendrick Born,
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones are all on your bench. Now you're
Speaker 1: not worried about the loss of trade devious White. That's
Speaker 1: a massive loss to this secondary in my mind, and
Speaker 1: he could open up somebody to have a big game,
Speaker 1: not in the wet and blustery conditions of this one.
Speaker 1: And Mac Jones is not a guy who just throws up.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a strong armor ball through the wind
Speaker 1: because that's not his game. You know who does have
Speaker 1: a strong arm who could throw it through the wind.
Speaker 1: That's Josh Hellen. I'm gonna give him a B grade.
Speaker 1: He's ran for at least twenty five yards and four
Speaker 1: of his five career meetings with the Patriots, and did
Speaker 1: crack the code against them last December. Ended up with
Speaker 1: three twenty yards and four passing scores in that one.
Speaker 1: But that Pat's defense was not as good as this one.
Speaker 1: Uh they trail only the bills and passing scores allowed
Speaker 1: with only four on the year, and they've intercepted the
Speaker 1: most balls in the league. But I'm still giving Alan
Speaker 1: the B. I'm gonna give Stephan Digs a B grade
Speaker 1: as well. He should go up against Jalen Mills both
Speaker 1: the most of the time. He's their weakest corner and
Speaker 1: has allowed a passer rating of one twelve in his
Speaker 1: coverage as well as five touchdowns scored against him so
Speaker 1: far this year, and Diggs was on the receiving end
Speaker 1: of three of those four Josh Allen touchdowns last December.
Speaker 1: He's just downgraded a little bit because of the weather.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Cole Beasley a C start. He'll be
Speaker 1: on the slot against Miles Bryant, who hasn't allowed a
Speaker 1: score this year, but seventy of the balls and his
Speaker 1: coverage are caught, and with the windy conditions, you gotta
Speaker 1: think lower distance, high percentage throws are more likely. So
Speaker 1: that brings Cole Beasley in. That doesn't put Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: and he's on the bench. The target load hasn't been there.
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox will get a C grade for much of
Speaker 1: the same reason Cole Beasley does. Short and intermediate passes
Speaker 1: will be key. Plus, Knox scored twice last week and
Speaker 1: had a third touchdown wiped from the board by a penalty. Finally,
Speaker 1: the best matchup in this game would be a pager
Speaker 1: a Bill's runner, a Bill's runner going against the Patriots
Speaker 1: run defense, but there are none. Zack Moss was a
Speaker 1: healthy scratch last week. You can't start him right now.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't roster him right now either. Devin Singletary managed
Speaker 1: fifteen carries last week and had two point nine yards
Speaker 1: per carry. The same can be said about Matt Brita,
Speaker 1: who had nine carries and ended up with two point
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. Spackfield is probably the worst in
Speaker 1: the league. It's tougher to forecast the Monday night weather
Speaker 1: than to start the right Bills running back. The Pats
Speaker 1: have allowed four point six yards per carry on the season.
Speaker 1: That's the fifth most in the league. They've allowed the
Speaker 1: fourth most total rushing yards, but they've only given up
Speaker 1: four scores to the running back position all year. Kettysburg.
Speaker 1: That's best in the league. Do you think with the
Speaker 1: weather there's just gonna be a lot more running in
Speaker 1: this game. I think Josh Allen just is going to
Speaker 1: have to keep doing it by himself because those runners
Speaker 1: are so bad they can't get any thing done on
Speaker 1: it's finding his way to the end zone whatever that's worth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not against the Patriots. Not give up no touchdowns to
Speaker 1: running back. So they're all on your bench. I don't
Speaker 1: think any of them should be on your roster either.
Speaker 1: A right, let's go back to dynasty statues. You've got
Speaker 1: a couple more for us in our final moments, sure
Speaker 1: sure does. First off, maybe Broncos players, they might get
Speaker 1: an what I would do to that offense? Tim Patrick
Speaker 1: even just try to He just resigned from about another
Speaker 1: sneaky Aaron Rodgers team. The Steelers, Yeah, might be ready
Speaker 1: to win too. I think they're gonna be in the
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson sweep Steaks along with potentially Philadelphia and the
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson sweep Steaks. But yes, that is another possible
Speaker 1: landing spot. Here's another one, maybe Josh Palmer. This actually
Speaker 1: helps Palm to Mike Williams contract is up, but I
Speaker 1: don't see him resigning there. They have an out on
Speaker 1: Keenan all and but I don't think they take that.
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, how about the box. Chris Godwin was franchise tag.
Speaker 1: He'll be a free agent again. Antonio Brown be a
Speaker 1: free agent. Maybe Tyler Johnson or jal They hate Tyler Johnson,
Speaker 1: is what I've concluded over the past month. It's it's
Speaker 1: ain't don't like him, but he's playing to him. If
Speaker 1: you're on the field all the time, and Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: what if Godwin's gone? Though? But Brown has been gone
Speaker 1: and he's been running all these reps and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's Brown and God What do you think it? Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 1: Maybe okay Man playing for next year. Thanks for listening
