Everybody, It's Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.240 I'm Paul Charchi and co hosts today are Scott Fish 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:32.280 and Matt Harrison. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.280 Hey, guys, Hey, I have barely done any shows with 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:36.080 Fish this year. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.760 I know I did a good job with the schedule. 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.560 Yeah, I think I looked at the calendar. I think 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.480 this is our last show together. It is our last 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.960 show together. You really messed with that calendar. 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.720 Yeah, we'll try to make it as impactful as possible. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:51.160 Yeah. 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.040 I like doing shows with thor better anyway. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:59.200 Yes, Now, we'll go through all of the games as always. 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.440 Take a chance on me, three tough questions, premature speculation, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:03.880 lots of stuff to get to. 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:04.800 Uh. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.600 If you are anything like me, you ha DeVante Adams 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.040 going on Thursday night, you had a little heart failure 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.520 there when he had the very modest game going, got 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.080 knocked out and he came back scored a long touchdown. 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.840 Oh man, you can even get drama on Thursday night 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.640 in fantasy football. Sure, yes, absolutely, we had one. We 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.720 had Catch of the Year on Thursday Night by Garrett Wilson. 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:27.880 That was amazing. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:28.959 We love Garrett Wilson. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.840 Yeah, I mean that that catch was so close it 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.560 turned into a discussion on exactly where does the shin 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.000 end and the me start. I mean, it's a game 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.880 of inches, as they say, lots of games to get through, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.320 including the Chargers taking on Cleveland. Now, Scott, this one 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.120 is fascinating a lot of different ways, most of it 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.600 on the Cleveland side with Jamis Winston and the second 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.600 start and we talk more about that in a second. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:01.480 On the Chargers side, this is JK. Dobbins has been good, right, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.560 DoD Grady came out of the gates awesome, but you know, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.480 just kind of been okay since then. What do you 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:08.679 think in this matchup for JK? 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.960 Down You still got to love his eighteen touches per 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.520 game and you got to love that he you know, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.760 gets several several targets per game and he's coming off 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.880 his highest target share of the year. Saw that's going 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.880 in his favor. He does get that top ten defense 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.520 versus fantasy backs in Cleveland. They've allowed almost nothing through 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.679 the air, just to Poultry twenty four yards per game. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.519 But Jak gets a bit more work there and running 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.360 backs than the other running backs Chargers have played. The 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.639 highest rushing performance against the Browns is just seventy three 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.280 yards and that was Derrick Henry. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:40.920 Wow. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.440 So you need to hope for a score, maybe some catches. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.839 The Browns have given up four scores in the last 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.960 four weeks. I should note the Browns have allowed the 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.840 most twenty plus yard runs, so maybe they're a little 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.400 ben don't break and Dobbins has five twenty plus runs 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.400 on his own. I could see him breaking one here. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.840 I gave him a B grade. But I can see 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.839 I can see going lower, can see it. But yeah, 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.679 I give him a B grade. Here In the passing game, 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.480 justin Herbert, I gave a B grade too. His last 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.359 two weeks have been the best of his year, over 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.000 three hundred yards in each couple scores. Two weeks ago, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.160 the Browns have allowed multiple scores in three straights to Hurts, Burrow, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.919 and Jackson. So some really good quarterbacks ruled out Denzil 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.799 A Ward ruled out just a B grade here, as 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.000 the Chargers do look to slow the player, slow the 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.480 pace usually and run more, and the Browns are only 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.800 allowing too hundred and sixteen passing yards per game, so 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.720 Herbert's going to have to beat that and score to 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.320 get there. But I got a B grade on him. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.640 I have an A grade on his lead guy, Lad McConkie, 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:43.400 who thor is probably happy man smooth out running. He 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.360 leads the team in targets, receptions, in yards, six plus 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.920 targets in five straight, six red zone targets, which is 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.240 triple any other Chargers receiver. If you do the math 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.840 on that, that's two two or less on other receivers. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.840 The Browns have allowed six wide receivers over one hundred 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.680 and or a score and the last three games, so 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.160 you're gonna get one of those here. Probably Cleveland runs 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.520 man defense on third highest rate Ladd McConkie second highest 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.120 yards per route run versus man only second to Justin Jefferson, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.599 So this is where he feasts, so I got an 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.479 A grade on Himkie. He's also rolling out of the 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.960 slot sixty two percent of the time. That's where he 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.560 finds the best matchup against Greg Newsom, who is allowing 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.640 one hundred and twelve point seven passer rating against. Just 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.120 a great spot for Lad McConkie. Here, Quentin Johnson, I 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.479 gave a C grade to more of a big play guy. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.919 Browns have allowed the fourth most twenty plus yards twenty 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960 plus yard completions. That also goes with their runs. Allow 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.960 a ton of too, a lot of big chunk plays 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:48.080 against the Browns. Apparently he's back after a two game absence. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.200 Before that, he was outperforming Josh Palmer in all but 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.400 one game they played together, so I left Palmer on 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.480 the bench. Will Disley I also have on the bench. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.719 He's had two really good games last two games with 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.320 her its best too, but the volume's likely to be lower, 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.240 and the Browns have allowed an average of four for 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.159 forty two yards to tight ends per game and only 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.880 one score on the entire year. Just doesn't even have 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.720 a score. Yeah over On the other side, Jameis Winston 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.599 gave us C grade. Here had three hundred and thirty 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.520 four yards the win last week. Deshaun Watson didn't even 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.799 hit three hundred yards as a Brown. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.400 Yeah, I know, isn't that amazing? Watson is like one 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.040 game exactly one game. Flacco did the same thing last year. Yeah, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.640 Flacco in his six starts, I think five were over 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.400 three hundred yards and Watson couldn't do it. Ever. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.440 Yeah, the Chargers like to slow the game, so that's 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.359 that's part of the reason. And also the quarterbacks they 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.640 have faced that they allow the fourth fewest yards per 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.800 game and just six passing touchdowns in seven games. That's 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.840 third fewest, and that all sounds good. Yeah, you made 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.400 passing reference to the quarterbacks the Chargers have faced. And 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.800 this is what makes me feel like the Chargers could 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.440 be a paper tiger where it looks like it could 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.760 be paper Gardner Minshew opposing quarterbacks Gardner Minshew, Sense benched, 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.960 Bryce Young Sence benched, Justin Fields. Sense benched last week, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.080 Spencer Rattler benched in game. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.280 I just you know, I just you know, it just 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.720 feels like in the Chargers maybe they're great. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.159 Yeah, maybe they're causing people to get benched. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.200 That's it. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.599 I will throw this out there. Mahomes went to forty 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.880 five and one, Kyler Murray one hundred and forty five 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.920 and one and bow Knicks two hundred and sixteen and two. Yeah, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.240 the Saints passers went two seventy eight on them last week. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.960 But I see Jameis going in that, you know, two 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.560 hundred some maybe gets a score. Hope for two. But 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.280 that's why I only have a C grade on him. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.480 Cedric Tillman I got a C grade on If Jamis 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.840 is not getting a ton, Cedric probably is the only 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.640 one I can truly love. Maybe Elijah Moore, but Cedric 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.040 Tillman's seen about a quarter of the targets since Amrio left. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.520 By the way, Cedric Tillman has more Fantasy points in 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.520 two games since Amrio left than Amari did before the 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.640 whole season. But the whole the whole season leading up 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.960 to Yoh that does not surprise me. Had nearly an 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.760 eighteen yard eight out. The Chargers do allow the fewest receptions, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.640 third fewest yards, few oft scores, so there's not a 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.200 lot on of meat on the bone here. But a 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.120 Sante Samuel out, Christian Fulton out another another one with 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.480 a foot injury, so there might be room for Cedric 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.520 Tillman to get a CE And I did have a 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.760 cea on Elijah Moore, who led the team in targets 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.160 with Winston in few snaps and routes than Tilman and Judy, 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.080 but six plus catches and double digit fantasy points in 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.880 each game since. And just here, Taylor missed time last 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.800 week and he's been limited all week with an injury, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.600 and that's that's the best spot for in this defense 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.600 to find a hole. So I gave a se grade 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.880 to Elijah Moore, David and Joku limited all week, miss 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.160 Thursday's practice. Friday, he came back practiced in fall, so 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.440 he's ready to go A grade. Maybe a little load 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.360 management there. Chargers haven't allowed a tight end score yet, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.280 but they do allow six for fifty six yards on 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.240 average to the position, which has a lot, and Joku 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.400 has twenty eight targets in just last three three games. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.400 I have an A grade there. And then finally Nick Chubb, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.800 I'm giving a C grade too. Everything is stepping up 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.160 for Nick Chubb. Snaps touches, he had sixteen last week. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.640 He had his highest good route participation, but only two targets. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.800 You have to be efficient against the Chargers because you 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.880 don't get a lot of touches. But they are allowing 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.239 four point eight yards per carry, which is the seventh 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.560 highest JA great, So I think Nick Chubb can get 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:20.360 a C grade here. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.160 All right, man, let's go over to Dallas taking on Atlanta. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.800 For Dallas, the problems here on offense have been decided. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.800 It's no running game to speak of, and that makes 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.880 them predictable. The passing game has been very inconsistent. What 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.080 do you think about Let's just start. Let's just start 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:36.840 with the passing game. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.120 Let's start with the passing game. Because Cede Lambs and 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.240 obvious a grade. He's had thirty one targets in his 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.839 last two games. I think Dak Prescott's in a grade 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.800 here too. The Falcons have allowed the fourth most completions, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.400 the seventh most passing scores, and if he were to 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.480 take off running, the Falcons have allowed almost thirty two 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.920 rushing yards per game to oppose in quarterbacks. That's the 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.040 third most in the league. Jake Ferguson has had seven 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.319 or more targets in four of his last five, so 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.400 I got a solid B on him here. Kate Otton 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.720 scored twice last week against this Falcons d although those 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.000 were the first two scores Atlanta had allowed to a 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.000 tight end this season. Now you might think about starting 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.480 Jalen Tolbert, but I'd leave him on the bench this week. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.200 The last two games he's totaled forty three and forty 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.520 four yards disappointing, and his matchups against AJ Tarrell and 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.200 Mike Hughes are not super favorable for him. And then 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.079 you talked a little bit about the running game. Rico 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.520 Dowdell sat out last week with an illness. He's off 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:28.319 the injury report. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.160 By the way, He's so sick that he just was 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.760 standing on the sideline the whole game. I mean, if 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.520 you're so sick you can't play, should you be around 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.720 the rest of the team. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.200 I think that every time there's illnesses on teams and 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.880 then they stay, they stay either play or they're on 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:43.240 the zone. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.000 It's possible he could have just had explosive output. That 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:46.760 is possible. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.360 Yeah, which case I wouldn't want to be on the sideline. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.040 Yeah, he might need to run to the locker room 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.840 real quick. He's off the injury report. He's ready to 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.840 start this week. Dowdell, he's the best of the pass 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.440 catching backs in Dallas and Atlanta. Has allowed the fourth 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.160 most receptions to opposing back. So I'll give him a 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.520 see in a game that should feature a lot of passing. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.320 They sent Dalvin Cook back to the practice squad. Zeke's 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.280 not just good or just not good, I should say, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.240 But do you know who is good? 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:12.960 Yell? 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.440 The Atlanta running backs Bijean Robinson and Tyler Algier. They're 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.679 both good. Bijon obvious a grade, but Algier he's a 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.680 sea dart, which I think is a harpoon in just 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.880 about any game, he's averaging almost ten touches per game. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160 The Cowboys aren't great as a run defense, but in 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.320 backup duty last week, Isaac Garndo ended up with one 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.680 hundred and two total yards in a score, and he 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.199 could have had another touchdown at the end of the game, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.840 but he took a knee there. So the Detroit tandem 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.760 of backs also had a good day against the Cowboys 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.599 in Week six as well. So I like both the 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.280 running backs here, Kirk Cousins and somewhat of a revenge 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.040 game against Mike Zimmer. Of course, the tour together in Minnesota, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.440 and it's come out recently that Zimmer never wanted the 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.160 team to sign Cousins, so I expect it's. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:56.839 A revenge game. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.720 Yeah, Kirk's gonna put a little extra mustard on it 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.440 this week, I'll throw an A grade at Kirk. Basically, 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.880 the only quarterback to not have an excellent day against 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.120 the Cowboys was Danny Dimes, and even he had two 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.360 hundred eighty one yards in that game. I like both 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.400 Drake London and Darnell Mooney in this one too. Bab 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.480 London gets an A because he'll most often match up 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.000 on the right side of the field with backup corner 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.280 Kaylin Carson, who's given up a passive rating of one 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.920 nineteen in his coverage. On the other side, Mooney will 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.840 draw uh to Von Diggs most often. Diggs coverage grades 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.240 are not great on CFF. He's teetering toward the orange grades, 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.040 which is just above red, and red is bad. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.520 But I like how you put that. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.880 He's all boom or bust as a corner. Either he's 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.520 gonna pick you off, but he's gonna give up big 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:42.040 plays too. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.559 And you know, Mooney's really fast, He's a four to 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:45.240 three speed. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:46.280 He's a big play guy. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.880 And Diggs has got the is coming off the ACL 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.760 and you know, I'm dre he's mostly recovered from that. 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.240 But he's also dinged up and on the injury report 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:54.760 this week. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.040 I wonder if Mooney doesn't zoom past him. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.360 Probably Kyle Pitts has had four straight games games with 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.720 double digit PPR points. He's tight end four on the season. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.840 That includes his ninety one yards and two scores last week, 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.480 although one of them he totally dropped the ball at 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.720 the one yard line and they gave him the touchdown. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.280 And then Malachi Corley did the exact same thing, Maliki, 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.760 thank you. Malachi did the exact same thing. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.560 Our friend Andrew Cooper tweeted that Pitts is one of 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.280 four tight ends who's had three catches of forty plus 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:28.600 yards in a season over the last five years. Only 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.880 four tight ends have done it in the last five years. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.319 Three catches of forty yards and more. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.240 That's a really big play though, So. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.200 Pitts gets an A grade as well. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:41.800 And I mean, he's not me. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.200 What are you doing? 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.439 Full start? Robby's like the fantasy Pazzi Weber Now Geez. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.679 Denver takes on Baltimore. We're gonna zip through this one 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.800 pretty fast. Bon Nix is up to quarterback nine on 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:59.679 the season, ahead of c. J. Stroud, Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.880 your relative's fantasy Stalwarts. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.920 He's quarterback force this week four. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.760 Fine and Dak dak. And it's totally because he started 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.439 slowly right. His first four games were a disaster through 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.360 the air, the last four been good. And because he's 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.400 throwing down field now. Baltimore allowing the most passing yards, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.000 the most passing touchdowns working against Knicks, though the Ravens 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:23.280 have held other mobile quarterbacks in check. Josh Allen, Jaden Daniels, 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.040 Baker Mayfield all failed the top twenty two scoreless rushing yards. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.360 Got a B grade on bow Nicks in this game. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.680 Courtland Sutton went from zero catches to a one hundred 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.320 yard game in back to back weeks. And if you 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:41.240 noticed last week, physical receiver Cedric Tillman dominated the Ravens 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:46.600 injury ravage secondary. Here's courtlandt Sutton, big physical receiver. Maybe 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.560 we get similar output here. He has scored or topped 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.720 one hundred yards in three of the past four games. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.640 And we'll want to watch the injury status of quarnerbacks 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.920 Nate Wiggans and Marlon Humphrey. Those guys missed last week's game. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.200 That was a big part of why they're at The 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.240 Browns had so much success if they can't go, I 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.520 like Scotland Sutton up to a bee. If they do go, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.280 we'll put Court and Sutton at a C grade. All 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.160 the other wide receivers and tight ends are on the bench. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.880 I think somebody else here probably has a good game 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.360 out of this, the Denver group, but good luck picking. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:20.360 Troy Franklin, Jordan will Jordan, Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mimms, Lucas 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.920 Crawl whatever. Let's just talk for a moment about Javonte Williams. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.400 He's only scored in one game all year. This is 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.320 a brutal matchup. As bad as the Ravens are against 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.360 the pass, they're that good against the run. They're number 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.960 one in rushing yards per game, number one in rushing 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.680 yards per carry, number four in run defense success rate. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.120 The only silver lining for Williams is that Baltimore has 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.440 allowed six rushing touchdowns on the year, and so you're 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.280 really just hoping Devanta Williams as gets a goal line 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.640 and that keeps him at a sea level. Not a 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.600 lot to talk about with Baltimore because most of these 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.520 guys are very obvious plays. Lamar Jackson is an obvious 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.160 even if against a very good defense, and so it's 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.960 Derrick Henry. Tricky for both, but you can't obviously bench 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.360 Jackson or Henry. I'm just gonna mention this. No quarterback 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.400 has thrown for more than two hundred and twenty five 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.400 yards against Denver. The Broncos have only seen one runner 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.280 hit the one hundred yard mark. Still eight grades for them. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.120 Zay Flowers comes in with a C grade. The only 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.080 real concern for Flowers that is will he draw a 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.800 lot of Patrick Surtan, And if he does, that is tough. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.600 One of only a few true shutdown cornerbacks on average, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.160 Cirtan giving up one and a half catches for sixteen 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.880 yards in his coverage. That's it. Flowers could shake Sirtan 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.800 by lining up in the slot, which he normally does 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.880 on thirty five percent of his plays. Maybe that goes 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.520 up to like fifty percent here. When Flowers move to 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.880 the slot, he's got a better matchup, but still not 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.480 an easy one. He'd faced off against cornerback Jakwan McMillan, 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.040 who is not allowed a score this year. So have 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.880 only got the C grade on Zay Flowers. You might 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.040 be wondering about Deontay Johnson in his first game. Well, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.360 let's look at what happened with Amari Koop and DeAndre 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.800 Hopkins in their first games in a totally new offense. 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:14.200 They averaged three targets, two receptions, sixteen yards and no touchdowns. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.480 And that's why Deontay Johnson is on the bench in 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:17.960 his first game in Baltimore. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.200 Don't you think you have to keep Deontay Johnson on 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.680 the bench until he has a decent game in Baltimore? 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:25.360 Probably? 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:25.720 Yes. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:30.200 I mean Jay Flowers is totally inconsistent and he's better, yeah, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:31.240 and he knows the whole offense. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:31.880 Yeah. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.640 So I felt like in totality, this is a bad 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.520 move for Deontay Johnson fantasy wise. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:36.880 Sure. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.400 Last thing, Mark Andrews, I think I've gotten this wrong. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.280 I don't know, six weeks out of seven or something. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.600 So do the opposite charge, do the opposite of the 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.120 segrad I've got on him. He remains very high risk 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.720 due to his low volume over the past month. Andrews 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.360 is averaging just twenty four routes per game, just three 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.880 and a half targets. Could see extra volume in this 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.040 matchup because the Broncos cornerbacks are so good. Some teams 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.960 pivot to the tight end to avoid Patrick Sutan. Brock 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.959 Bauer saw twelve targets against Denver, and on the season 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.320 they're seeing the ninth most tight end targets. So I'm 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.480 keeping a C grade on Mark Andrews when we come back. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.280 Nine players upon whom you can take a chance. Find 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.200 out who they are when we return Fantasy Football Weekly, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.840 Tata James, I mean nine players you would not normally start. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.159 Many of these guys are available on the waiver wire. 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.439 I believe two of my three are waiver wire guys 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:21.160 right now. 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.160 Or league, I think three of my three are. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.520 Okay, All right, Scott, let's fight out if your quarterbacks 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:27.440 on the waiver wire. 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.120 He might be. That would be Derek Carr, coming back 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.160 from injury, gets a matchup this week that bo Nicks 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.040 had last week and absolutely destroyed in the Panthers, who 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.399 are the fifth easiest matchup for quarterbacks. They've allowed multiple 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.720 scores in four or five six of the eight games 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.880 this season. As well, they've allowed the third most passing scores. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.240 Carr had multiple scores in three of five, but no 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.600 game's over two fifty. But this is the same Week 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.480 one matchup where he went for three scores. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.920 All right, I like it. I like car a lot 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.960 as a sleeper this week. Yeah, all right, Matt, you're 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.200 taking chance with me quarterback. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.880 It's November, so you got to go with Gardner Minsh. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.879 Here my concern with Minshew. He doesn't throw a lot 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.240 of touchdowns. He's had. He had two last week against 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.719 the Chiefs, but his previous nine games he didn't hit 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.600 two touchdown passes in any of his games. But what's good. 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.240 The Bengals defense is not good at all. Their pass 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.359 rush is real bad. Fourth fewest sacks in the league, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.520 with only twelve through eight games. They're averaging only two 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.560 quarterback hurries per game, so Minshew should have tons of time. 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.200 They allowed Andy Dalton to throw for two to twenty 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.480 and two. They allowed a combo of three Browns quarterbacks 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.960 to throw for two hundred and seventy seven yards multiple 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.560 touchdown passes to four of the last six to start 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.520 and to finish a game. Gardner Minshew, fireman. 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.600 Minshew, I'm I'm taking a quarterback who may out even 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.359 play Malik Willis. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:42.520 I thought about that. 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.359 Jordan loves shaping up as a game time decision with 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.520 his grond injury. But the next week is a bye week, 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.840 so it could make sense. And if they were playing 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.040 anybody else except the Lions, I'd be like, nah, they're 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.359 definitely resting him. Yeah, But the problem is it's the 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.360 division rival Lions. You don't want to take a loss here, 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.560 which could have playoff seeding ram for US as So 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.320 don't know about Jordan Love, but in Willis's two full games, 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.440 he was quarterback twenty the first week, quarterback six the 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.760 next week. We all know that rushing really going to 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.199 much to a great degree, defines fantasy success for a 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.160 lot of quarterbacks. His rushings potentially, you know, he could 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.000 be the best rusher of the week. In his last 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.760 start he ran for seventy three yards. Last week, playing 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.879 about one quarter he ran for twenty three yards. So 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.680 you get that from Willis, you get the occasional deep bomb. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.200 If those connect. Willis puts up a good day against 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:33.640 de Drop. Let's go to the running backs. 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.240 Scott I have raheem mostered. He gets bills defense that 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.159 is bottom ten in running back touches conboy yards and 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:43.280 scores allowed, and he looks like he's back in his 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.680 old row role on the team. Thirteen plus touches last 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.440 week inside the ten yard line. Last week, Mostard had 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.600 five carries devon a Chan zero and Mostard scored on 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:54.040 two of them. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.359 Look, I'm telling you Hen is best when he's not 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.520 a workhoorse. They just need to get most back doing 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.480 to what he was doing. Get eight Chan back at 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.720 what he did last week, nine carries. That's that's where 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.160 his that's his sweet spot. All right, Matt, you're taking 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:09.280 chance on me running back? 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:09.680 Uh. 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.680 Julius Chestnut, who sounds like a drink I purchased at 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.800 the mall during the holiday season. Tony Pollard took Thursday's 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.200 practice off with a foot injury. Ty J. Spears already 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.119 out this week with a hamstring injury. By the way, 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:28.879 Julius Chestnut on the Titans, Yeah, it might help some people. 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.200 They're playing against the Patriots, who are allowing four point 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.920 seven yards per carry, the fourth most rushing yards, the 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.199 third most rushing touchdowns. They're allowing one hundred and fifty 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.800 one combo yards and a score and a half per game. Now, 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.080 if Tony Pollard goes, he's in good shape, he's probably 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.159 going to be in a grade. But I think it 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.840 might be Julius chestnut season here. He might get twenty 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.359 touches in this game. You can pick him up and 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:55.080 start him. 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.800 Orange Julius Chestnut smoothie. 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:02.200 Yeah, that's the chestnuts going to roast over your opponents. 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:03.679 Is something like that. 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:05.199 Yeah, we'll figure it out that one. 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:06.639 It's going to be the title of the show. 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:11.560 Eventually, it should be. Roachean Johnson is my Chicago running back. 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.600 Roshan Johnson's to take a chance of me last week 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:19.480 against Arizona, so he's playing against Arizona. Last week against Arizona, 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:21.640 Devon a champ ran up and down the field where 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.160 he moster scored the goal line touchdowns. And we could 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:28.080 see a similar situation against Arizona this week with Chicago 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.520 Swift running up and down the field, Johnson getting paid 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.440 at the stripe. As a team, Chicago's run the ball 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.920 the fifth most times from inside the five yard line, 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.240 and Johnson's turned into a legit goal line vulture. He's 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:47.040 converting eighty percent of his carries inside the five to touchdowns. 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:52.840 Roshan Johnson. DeAndre Swift thirty three percent conversion rate to touchdowns. 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.320 Johnson's just better. If you're looking for a goal line plunge. 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:56.080 He might be your guy. 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:57.040 Okay, let's go to. 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:57.840 The wide receivers. 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.800 Yeah, I have Jacksonville Jaguars Ker Washington, who's Christian Kirk's 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.600 replacement in the slot. The game script should be in 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.359 favor of Washington here with off to pass. Brian Thomas, 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.320 Travis at ETN, and Gabe Davis are all game time decisions, 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.680 so there might be some open available targets in that one. 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.440 And after Kirk's injury last week, on the final three drives, 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.760 Parker Washington had three targets, finished with a three for 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.639 forty six stat line. Might be some room for Washington 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:27.600 this week. He might be a good Brian Thomas junior 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.760 pivot if you lose him in that game. It's a 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:31.680 late afternoon game, so I need a pivot. Now. 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.679 Thomas may not go, Gabe Davis may not go. Christian 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.840 Kirk got knocked out of the is done seasons over exactly, 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:40.840 all right, Matt, let's go to your take a chance 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:41.399 with your receiver. 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:43.960 I've got Noah Brown. Of course, he was on the 0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:46.240 receiving end of that hail Mary throw that won the 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.240 game for the Commanders. Last week. He had one hundred 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.080 and twenty air yards in that game. Half of them 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.280 came on that play. Yeah, but it's also worth noting 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:58.880 that he's turned into the legit wide receiver two in Washington. 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.000 He ran more routes than Terry McLaurin last week. His 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.560 average depth of targets a pretty good twelve point eight 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.280 yards downfield. He's had fifteen targets in his last three games. 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.720 His Fantasy Life utilization score has been trending upward to 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.439 a pretty decent six point eight last week, and he 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.480 faces the Giant's pair of disasters at outside corners. Deontay 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:20.520 Banks has a passer rating of one twenty eight in 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:23.440 his coverage and has already allowed four touchdowns this year. 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.880 Nick McCleod said, hold my beer. He's allowing a pass 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:29.639 the rating of one forty nine and is giving up 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.680 eighteen point nine yards per catch. 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.480 Geez, all right, you kind of sold me on No. 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.320 One Brown, which I did not see coming. My wide 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.440 receiver has probably already taken in most leagues. Josh Downs 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:43.440 is yeah, could potentially wreck the Minnesota Vikings. He's emerged. 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.320 He by the way, he's Indy's best receiver. It's Josh Downs. 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:46.760 Yeah. 0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:47.159 I loved that. 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.640 Last week. I was like, he never performs with Anthony Richardson, 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:52.840 and then he does it. Finally, finally did it, and 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:53.880 he always does. 0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.560 That was for the best, honestly. Last week Downs scored 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.560 once and he nearly scored twice. Ye Downs has the 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:05.080 league's most favorable slot matchup this week, Minnesota. Minnesota gives 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.560 up the second most Fantasy points to the slot, almost 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.400 twenty per game, and the Vikings have been roasted by 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.840 slot receivers this year, including Cooper Cup, I'm on Ross, 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.440 Saint Brown, jayde and Reed Deebo Samuel, all of whom 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:18.760 scored or top one hundred and ten yards. And granted 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.960 those are all really really really good receivers, but Josh 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.960 Down's sitting on a nice game here. Let's go to 0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:28.800 our next set of matchups, which is Scott New Orleans 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.439 at Carolina. You already told us that Derek Cars you 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.720 take a chance. Totally on board with that, yep. How 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:39.160 about his receivers Chris o'lave and maybe even Mason Tipsy. 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.000 Yeah yeah, I got an A grade on Chris Lave 0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:45.240 played his first game without rashidja heat on Sunday, missed 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.359 some of it while being evaluated in blue tent, but 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.480 he still had a thirty thirty seven percent target share 0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:54.480 fourteen targets in that one. The lead target getter against 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.800 the Panthers in every week eight for one hundred, six 0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.080 for ninety eight, six for seventy four in a score, 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.159 five for one, five five and two scores, three for 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.199 eighty five in a score, seven for ninety six in 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.680 a score, five for fifty one, and two scores three 0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:07.880 for seventy three in a score. They don't miss, they 0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:11.520 don't miss, So a grade for Chris alave C grade 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.440 on Mason Tipton. The Panthers are allowing the fourth most 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.359 fantasy points to the perimeter. In fact, seventy percent of 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.439 fantasy points scored on Carolina come out wide in the 0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:25.080 passing game. Cedric Wilson above means not practicing to hip 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:28.120 an ankle injuries might make Tipton the wide receiver two 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.000 this week. He was second in a team in targets 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.920 and receptions in each of the last two weeks, nearly 0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:36.560 a thirteen yard average depth of target. If those guys 0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:37.399 are out, he might. 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.000 Be got ruled out on. 0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:41.600 Okay, there you guys out, I'm telling you Mason Tipton. 0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.520 Mason Tipton sitting on a really good game, see grade. 0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:46.919 He might he might become cars new Shaheed. He's four 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:47.920 to three to three speedster. 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.440 That's right, he runs the Shaheed routes. 0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:50.560 Ye. 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.520 Now we got a quarterback who can get him the ball? 0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.320 Yep at tight end, Mason Tipton at tight end. I 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.560 don't know what to do because they all this is 0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.800 a great matchup against tight ends, but it's Jawan Johnson, 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.159 Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill splitting it up. I can 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.840 see a dart throw on Johnson or Hill, but I 0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.399 have him on the bench just because of split. I 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.520 will say three different games, two different tight ends scored 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:15.000 against the Panthers, including this Saints team in Week one 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:18.000 where Johnson and Moro did on the Carolina side. I 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.200 have Bryce Young on the bench. Despite his best fantasy 0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.800 day this season, He's still averaging like one hundred yards 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:26.960 per game and the Saints have only allowed seven scores 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:30.760 to in eight games to passers. I have sea grades 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.200 on Xavier Lagette and Jalen Cocher. Lagett's the big fast, 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:38.560 a led athletic, large catch radius first round pick. Jags 0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.119 have allowed the second most twenty plus yard completions and 0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:45.399 the most forty plus yard completions, seventh most receptions, fifth 0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.439 most yards wide receivers. It's a good spot. Lattimore out 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.080 Lagette did pop up with a toe injury, so keep 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:53.959 an eye on that. But I have a C grade there, 0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.800 and I have C grade on Jalen Cocher. The highly 0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:00.040 talked about undrafted rookie out of Holy Cross, ran the 0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:02.800 second most routes for the Panthers last week. Plays the 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.320 slot eighty percent slot rate. The Saints allowed the highest 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:09.919 percentage of passes and fourth most fantasy points to the slot. 0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.720 The only super annoying factor is if Adam Thielen walks 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:16.720 in and MUCKs it up with the keen pins of 0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:21.399 Adam Felen with some slot roll. C grade on Cuba 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:25.560 Hubbard ninety four percent of the rush rushes last week. 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.000 Saints allowed the second most twenty plus yard runs. They 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:31.000 allow five point two yards per carry, which is second highest. 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:34.960 They're also bottom ten in yards and scores. I will 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.240 say Tuba has been very inefficient with his touches over 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.240 the last few weeks, and he's not getting a whole 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:42.720 lot of catches, but it's just a great spot even 0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:44.720 if he is inefficient. So a SEA grade there. 0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:48.240 I'm playing Mason Tipton in my scott Fish Bowl league. 0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.360 Just while you were chatting, I picked him up and 0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.240 I'm putting him in my starting lineup right now. I'm all, 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:55.640 I'm I'm. 0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.040 Mason in crazy Mason tipped in. 0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.680 Yes, Yes, Matt, let's go to Vegas taking on Cincinnati 0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.280 for the Las Vegas. You already mentioned Gardner, Minshew, m hm. 0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:06.520 You like the November flow? 0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:06.880 Yep. 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.120 What about Jakobe Myers, who we kind of forgot about. 0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.800 Jacoby Myers re emerged last week, scored a touchdown. 0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:16.760 Yeah, dude's really good. He's the one question number one 0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.720 wide receiver in Vegas. Was able to battle through an 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.800 injury last week, rewarded as fantasy managers with six catches 0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:25.959 fifty two yards in a score. He gets six catches 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.680 per game basically every game. He's done that in the 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:31.640 past four games. Okay, you're gonna get double digit PPR 0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.240 points in almost every game you get with Jacoby Myers. 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.640 He's a B grade. Brock Bauers, he's an A. In 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.560 the last four games, Bowers has forty one targets, thirty 0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.480 two catches, three games above seventy yards in a score. 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:44.640 He's not scoring enough. He's only got one on. 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:45.920 The year coming around. 0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.160 He's the most targeted tight end in the league, and 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.920 the Bengals are bottom eight in receptions, yards and touchdowns 0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:51.719 allowed to the tight end. 0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:52.280 I saw the. 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.280 Stat go by my Twitter feetut if it's true or not, 0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:59.320 brock Bowers is on pace to set the recept the 0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:01.320 rookie rec exception record. 0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:04.720 Like from Puka from Puca last year. It last year. 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:08.040 Brock Bower's on pace to beat it. And nobody talking 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:10.720 about brock Bauers as a potential Rookie of the Year 0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:12.440 because quarterbacks, you know. 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:12.760 We didn't. 0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:15.880 Jada Daniels is running away with it, but he's quietly 0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:19.600 having a year that's as good as Jayden Daniels, but 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:21.000 at a position nobody cares about. 0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:23.840 Brock Bowers on a team that nobody cares about. By 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:27.240 the way, that is true too, speaking of a player 0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:30.800 nobody cares about. Alexander Madison has had nineteen or more 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:34.160 touches in three straight games. Man's a mere white. Just 0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.840 blew it here. Oh, Madison gets a volume C grade 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.920 against a Bengals defense that's allowing one hundred and twenty 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.600 combo yards to backs every game. So there's just enough 0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.320 with the volume here on the Bengals side, I'm gonna 0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:49.360 start with T Higgins here, who did not practice on Friday. 0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:51.239 Does not look like he's gonna go. I believe he's 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:55.440 doubtful now it If he did go, I don't think 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.800 i'd start him on the soft tissue injury. But let's 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.600 talk about Jamar Chase. Yeah, in the fire games where T. 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:04.040 Higgins has played this year, Chase is averaging six catches 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.840 one hundred and five yards and he has six touchdowns 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:07.680 in those five games. 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:09.840 That's pretty good, but that's when TA Higgins plays. 0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:12.440 Yeah, in the three games Higgins missed, he's averaging six 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.400 catches same fifty yards and he's only had one touchdown 0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:18.800 in those three games. So it's a pretty big drop off. 0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:22.040 Raiders pass defense looks good on paper, but it's probably 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.760 a product of poor run defense. Chase will probably be 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.040 downgraded to a BEE because I don't think Higgins is 0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.320 gonna go. If Higgins hobbles out there, I'll bump Chase 0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.200 up to an A, but I won't go as far 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:37.040 as starting entre Joshawash or Trenton Irwin. The McAuley Culkin 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.920 look alike. Joe Burrow has struggled in the last few weeks, 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:41.960 held under two hundred and fifty yards in each of 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.640 his last three games, only three touchdown passes in those three. 0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:47.960 I'm still giving Burrow a bee here. I like his 0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:50.440 talent over the Raiders defense too. It just feels like 0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:53.280 a get right game for him. And then Chase Brown. 0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:56.440 He's taken the Bengals share of the rushload and we'll 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.760 definitely get more work than Zach Moss, who's now doubtful. 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.640 The Raiders are allowing almost twenty seven running back touches 0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:06.959 a game, and they're allowing four point seven yards per 0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.840 carry to opposing backs, the ninth most running back scores 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:15.640 on the season with nine in eight games. Nine times 0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:17.160 Chase Brown gets an A grade. 0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:20.240 And wow, it's come to this, Chase Brown, He's head 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:24.000 in the right direction. Yep, Like we like the improvements 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.480 we've seen so far in Chase Brown. And this might 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.719 be is would this be his first crack at just 0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:31.760 like a starting role, work horseback scenario. 0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:34.400 They don't have another running back that's taking a snap. 0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.360 This year, it's just been Brown and Moss. 0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:39.400 All right, all right, we might get a statement game 0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.160 out of Chase Brown right here. Maybe it's your last 0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.880 chance to buy low who knows well, not even low 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:48.240 five medium on Chase Brown. When we come back. More 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:51.680 matchups including Chicago at Arizona. What do you want to 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.600 do with the Chicago passing game? Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, 0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:58.360 Roma Dunsa. A lot of inconsistency there any opportunities to 0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:00.200 exploit will tell you when we come back. 0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:35.200 Fantasy Football League. 0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.640 Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

Matt is at Explosive Output and 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.560 new Guillotine leagues being formed every day. You can play 0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.760 for prizes, you can play for free. There's still ten 0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:41.320 weeks of hot chopping action left Church. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.640 I'm in one Guillantine league this year. Yeah, and I 0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:47.280 drafted Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry and I remember telling 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.360 you what are you And you were like, what are 0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:49.720 you doing? 0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:50.120 Going out? 0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.720 These two guys say they're that just the top where 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:53.200 the team. 0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:56.800 That's right, exactly, They're the high two highest scoring players 0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:58.480 in fantasy football are on the same team. 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:00.400 I was kind of wondering as I was driving in, 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:03.480 how many times have Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry been 0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.840 even cut this year from a team in Leakes? 0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.640 To get this, Henry was on the most chopped player 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:10.399 last week? 0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:11.280 What yes? 0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:12.080 Crazy? 0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:14.360 Yeah, seventy three scoreless yards right. 0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:18.080 Something like that? Yeah, which is which was nuts? Oh no, 0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.480 he got I got touched on like seventy three yards, 0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:22.520 but it wasn't enough because I think that Henry. The 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:27.360 speculation was Derrick Henry. Owners are so confident they haven't 0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:29.920 built up good teams. They haven't spent money because they 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.759 haven't needed I didn't have the right because they hadn't 0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:35.319 built up the lasters that And so when Henry gives 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.520 you just a mortal day, your your team gets chopped. 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:40.880 And Henry ended up taking down like I don't know, 0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:45.759 like seventeen percent of his leagues interesting chopped last week. Yeah, 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.839 Guillotine's so much fun. If you're not playing, you still 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:49.759 can't play. And if you're like, hey, I'll play next year. 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.000 Just dip your toe in the water this year so 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:53.640 you know what the hell you're doing and you'll light 0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:56.560 up super fun the rest of the league. Chicago takes 0:34:56.560 --> 0:35:00.279 on Arizona. Let's start with DeAndre Swift. He gets an 0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.960 A grade here. First three games of the season were disaster. 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:05.640 He was running back thirty eight, averaging two yards per carry. 0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:09.440 The last four games for DeAndre Swift running back five 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:12.640 averaging five and a half yards per carry, a touchdown 0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:16.480 in all four games, and a nice matchup against Arizona. 0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.840 Almost every opponent has run well against the Cardinals, including 0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:22.840 last week when two different Dolphins were major fantasy factors. 0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:25.040 I also talked about Roshan Johnson as might take a 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:27.560 chance on me running back. Four of the past six 0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:31.840 opposing team, guys, this is nuts. Four of the past 0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:36.440 six opposing teams against Arizona have topped one hundred and 0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:38.319 eighty four rushing yard. 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:39.880 Yes. 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:44.080 Wow, the first place Arizona Cardinals, by. 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.799 The way, Wow, I didn't realize that they must be 0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.719 tied for first. Unbelievable. Let's go to the passing game, 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:53.960 where things are much murkier and Arizona sneaky good against 0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.000 the pass Let's start with DJ Moore. He runs sixty 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:58.759 percent of his routes from the left side of the field, 0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:02.359 where he'll match up against startling Thomas, a cornerback who 0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:06.840 is shockingly capable. He's allowed an excellent fifty three percent 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.440 completion rate and just twenty eight yards per game in 0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:12.640 his coverage, and Morris posted back to back dud games, 0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:16.160 even in more promising matchups than this one. And part 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:18.480 of the reason is that Caleb Williams is now getting 0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:22.440 to become good and confident enough that he's now distributing 0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:26.000 the ball to his other receivers and not just DJ Moore. 0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:28.879 So I can only get you to a C grade 0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.000 on DJ Moore in this one. So I just said 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.120 that Caleb Williams is distributing the ball Moore and his 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:36.040 other receivers. So what does that mean for Keenan Allen. 0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:40.120 Allen runs mostly from the slot, where he'll face Garrett Williams, 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:44.040 another shockingly competent Arizona cornerback. The average game in his 0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:46.200 coverage is only two catches for twenty two yards, and 0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:47.920 he's only given up one score this year. So I 0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:51.760 only have a C grade on Keenan Allen Roma Dunsa 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:55.800 gets the easiest of the cornerback matchups, either Sean Murphy 0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:58.480 Bunting if his neck injury allows him to return, or 0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:03.120 his replacement Maximelllton. You're almost hoping Murphy Bunting does play 0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:07.120 because he ranks his Pro Football focus is cornerback one 0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:11.200 hundred and eleven, Max Melton cornerback one hundred and thirteen. 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:13.440 So duneesay, this is the only reason he's got a 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:16.520 letter grade at all is because of these easy matchups. 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:20.440 Murphy Bunting allows an eighty percent completion rate, Melton and 0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:24.400 eighty nine percent rate. The problem is Rome isn't getting 0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.080 that many balls, and it's all these short passes. Over 0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:31.480 the past month, Roma Dunzey has had one completion deeper 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:33.359 than twelve yards. That's all. 0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:33.960 Wow. 0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:39.320 Cole Comet Romo Dunza this year is Jackson Smith and Jigba. 0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.880 Yeah maybe maybe you know different positions. 0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:45.680 But the same offensive coordinators. 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:48.680 Yeah, that could be the case. I have I don't 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:50.400 know where I put my notes, don't. I don't do 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:51.600 this very often. I don't know where I put my 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:54.400 notes on Cole Comet. I recall him being a B grade, 0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:56.000 but I don't. I don't have my notes for him. 0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:56.279 Ken. 0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:59.200 I might circle back on Cole Comet in a future segment. 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:03.600 We'll see. Caleb Williams didn't last week, did not go 0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:05.839 very well, and this matchup with Arizona isn't quite as 0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:08.080 easy as it sounds. For the past five quarterbacks to 0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:12.040 face Arizona have thrown zero or one touchdown, and Williams receivers. 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:13.960 As I mentioned, they're all C grades right now except 0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.960 Cold Comedo's got a B grade last week. I want 0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:20.320 to note this is an important possible development for Caleb Williams. 0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:26.160 Shane Waldron dialed up nine designed runs, nine for Williams 0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:29.520 nine times. I love that and I hope that continues. 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.160 If we can get nine design runs out of Caleb Williams, 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:35.840 that would materially change his fantasy outlook. But as it 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:37.640 stands right now, without knowing if that was just a 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:40.200 one time occurrence, se grade on him. All right, let's 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:42.840 go to Let's go to the Arizona side. Speaking of 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:46.759 tight ends, Trey McBride a grade. He's Fantasy football's most 0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:49.359 dependable tight end. The Bears have been smoked by Zach 0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.960 Ertz and Evan Ingram. The past two weeks, those guys 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.920 combined for seventeen catches and one hundred and seventy two yards. 0:38:56.920 --> 0:38:59.719 Let's go to Marvin Harrison. It's feasts or famine for 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:04.360 Harry with fantasy finishes. Here's here's Harrison's weekly fantasy finishes, 0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:08.680 beginning with week one, Wide receiver eighty two, Wide receiver one, 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:13.520 wide receiver nineteen, Wide receiver twenty four, Wide receiver fifty, 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:18.840 Wide receiver eighty three, All wide receiver forty seven, and 0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:22.600 then last week wide receiver five. Sure, it's just totally 0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:25.800 feaster famine. This game is more likely a famine game. 0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:30.760 If Matt Eberflus corrects his key mistake from last week 0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:33.920 where he did not put Jalen Johnson on Terry McLaurin, 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:37.040 that should be the case here. He's got Jalen Johnson 0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:40.880 at his disposal. He's awesome. He should staple him to Harrison. 0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:43.880 Hopefully that will be well. If he's smart, that'll be 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:47.399 the case. If of of mclaurin's one hundred and twenty 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.440 five yards last week, thirteen of them came against Johnson. 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:54.120 On average, Johnson gives up one and a half catches 0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.080 for twenty yards and That's why I can only give 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.000 you a C grade on Marvin Harrison, because I gotta 0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:01.440 believe eber Flus is gonna correct last week mistake. Michael 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.880 Wilson gets a C grade. He's the most dependable Arizona receiver. 0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:08.480 And if Johnson's on Harrison, that puts Tyrek Stevenson on Wilson. 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.640 And now we all know who Tyrek Stevenson was. Nobody 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.960 any idea who he was before last week. Now we 0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:19.719 all know Tyrek Stevenson. Does last week's mental blunder by 0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.040 Stevenson get in his head for this one? 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:23.600 That could be the case. 0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:26.480 Michael Wilson C grade and Greg George gets a C 0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.439 grade because Kyler Gordon is likely to miss another game 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.439 and that's their normal slot guy. That would put Dortch 0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:36.080 up against backup Josh Blackwell, who's barely played in three 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:40.279 NFL seasons. He could be a sneaky start for your team. 0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:44.640 Then that leaves us with Kyler Murray. His receivers have 0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:46.960 got three C grades, his tight ends in a grade. 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:49.000 This is a tricky matchup against a defense that has 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:52.160 allowed zero or one touchdown passes in every game but one. 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:54.680 Murray's rushing is gonna help. But no quarterback has a 0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:58.560 rushing touchdown against Chicago, and other mobile quarterbacks have only 0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:01.279 fared okay against Chicago, so I've only got a B 0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:06.160 grade on him. Scott, Let's go to Miami taking on Buffalo. 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.719 The Miami rushing attack came to life with Tua at 0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:10.280 the helm. 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:10.640 Yep. 0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.239 And I'm curious what you think about Devon a Chan 0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:14.160 in this one. 0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:16.680 Yeah, we can start there because rowheem Moster was my 0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:18.400 take a chance on me a player. I still have 0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:21.320 an A grade on a Chan sixteen pluses touch plus 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.440 touches per game average. But in the two full games, 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:28.160 the two full Tua games one hundred plus total yards 0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:30.760 in both, scored in both, twenty three plus fantasy points 0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:33.279 in both. He had seven targets in that week one game, 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:36.120 eight targets last week at least six catches in each. 0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:38.160 He gets so much done through the air, and the 0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.480 Bills have allowed the second most receptions and the most 0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:44.000 yards to backs. He's still gonna get his, and he's 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:45.640 gonna get it mostly through the air. If he's not 0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:48.600 getting those goal lines anymore, love it in the past game. 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.560 I have a C grade on Tua It's a tough 0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:53.719 spot when only two quarterbacks of top two hundred and 0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:55.760 fifteen yards on the bills and only two at multi 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.040 score games. But those both of those took a lot 0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:01.759 of attempts into his full games thirty seven attempts and 0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.240 thirty eight, which is a top five per game average. 0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.640 So if he gets there, he might be one of 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:08.439 the one. And we saw it three hundred and thirty 0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:09.840 eight and a score two hundred and thirty four in 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:12.479 a score, So he got there in those other two games. 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.560 So I am giving him a C grade Tyreek Hill, 0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:18.600 a grade I would target it on. 0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.640 Board even the last week. It didn't really work out 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:21.320 as I expect. 0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:25.320 Yes, but he's his floor is basically the nine target 0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:27.960 seventy plus yard game, and this one figures to be 0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.319 a high scoring game based on the over under and 0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:34.400 the projected score. One hundred and thirty yards and seventy 0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.520 two yards in those two TUA games. Jalen Waddle one 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.880 hundred and five yards and forty five yards in those, 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:43.239 but no end zone targets for TUA, which tracks to 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.680 his zero zero scores. I only have a C grade 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:50.960 on Wattle. He also gets Razil Douglas who's passering in 0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.200 his coverage is is not that good, but just a 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:58.000 fifty two percent catch rate two for twenty three per 0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:02.319 game against him. The few touchdowns is what has led 0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:03.799 that passer rating against. 0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:05.200 To be hot and scored this year. 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.360 By the way, Yeah, that's what I just mentioned. No scores, 0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:08.280 no end zone targets. 0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:10.959 I know what Rasul Douglas allowed had not allowed to score? 0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.840 Got you no, No, Razul. His passer rating against is 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:17.520 poor because he's allowed a few scores. He only sees 0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.120 about four targets per game in his coverage. He'll see 0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:24.040 more or Waddle will run around and get his there. 0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:28.040 On the Buffalo side, Josh Allen got a B grade here. 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:30.560 I mentioned last week the Miami pass defensive rank has 0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:33.120 a little nuance to it. They were, you know, barely 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:36.200 scoring ten points a game. Teams didn't have to. Last week. 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:39.120 I gave a starting grade on Kyler, who showed up. 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:43.920 They gave up three hundred Di Gino, Lawrence, Rudolph Brissett, Richardson. 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.000 They're the ones that did poor. Josh Allen had one 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:48.279 hundred and seventy nine and a score in this matchup before, 0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:50.040 but that's because Cook went for over one hundred and 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:52.960 three scores. He'll probably get more. Allen will probably get 0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:54.799 more this week. But I still do have an A 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.720 grade on James Cook middle of the pack defense against runners, 0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:02.080 but he's scored in five of the last six. There's 0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:04.040 just not enough meat on the bone for Ay Davis though. 0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:06.000 He just didn't get it even in a good game 0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:09.240 script last week in the in the of the wide receivers, 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:12.360 Khalil Shakira and is getting a B grade. Kean Coleman 0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:15.720 a C. Shakiro allows the fifth fewest points to the slot, 0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:18.920 but also seventh fewest to the perimeter. But Shaquille scored 0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:22.000 ten plus PPR points in all but one game this year, 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.200 sixth in targets per route run. He catches everything. He 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:28.040 even said an NFL record for most consecutive catches earlier 0:44:28.040 --> 0:44:30.239 this year. Yeah, Keon Coleman love. 0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:31.720 I love Shakira in this offense. 0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:34.399 Now I do too. Keon Coleman's seven targets and back 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:36.240 to back one hundred and twenty five and no score 0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.520 seventy and one score. He's just getting major volume. It 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:41.680 should be a C grade. It's just the side of 0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:44.959 the field that they don't allow as much and Dalton 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.880 Kinkaid and finally, Dalton Kinkaid c grade six plus targets 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:51.640 in five straights, five straight games. He hasn't topped fifty 0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.640 two yards. He's basically a thirty to fifty yard guy. 0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:58.200 You need the score. Miami has an allowed one. However, 0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.120 last week they allowed eleven for a hundred and thirty seven, 0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:03.560 So there's some room for Kinkaid to get some here. 0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:06.160 Oh, charge, I can be your hero and do this 0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:07.000 in one minute. 0:45:07.160 --> 0:45:09.440 You'd have to be literally a one minute to do it. 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:11.360 Oh no, no, no, no. 0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:13.279 No, no, come on, no, no, I want to do it. Oh, 0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:13.759 let's save it. 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:14.279 Let's say it. 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:15.520 Oh, let's say. 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:17.480 C J. 0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:21.080 Stroud has one touchdown pass in his last three games. 0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:24.000 Two of the three have been epic disasters right now, 0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:29.680 but Nico Collins presumably his return looming. Yeah, what is 0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:31.640 your level of concern on CJ. Stroud? 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:36.920 Well, sophomore slump here for sure, but they've definitely committed 0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:39.000 to the running game more this year with Joe Mixon 0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.280 than they did in years past when they just didn't 0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:42.479 have the horses there. 0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.080 I want to think Nico Collins is going to fix 0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:49.879 what's wrong in this offense, and I'm sure will get better. 0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:51.560 I just hope it's good enough. 0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:53.400 But by the way, I have a Mari Cooper on 0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:55.600 the bench after that done, and he's still playing under 0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:57.279 half the snaps. I want to see him be a 0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:58.279 full time player right now. 0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:01.040 That's been frustrating, hasn't it? Yeah? For sure. When we 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:03.160 came back our number two three Tough Questions, see if 0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:05.319 you can play along and go three and oh with 0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:29.200 our panel of experts, our number two Fantasy Football Weekly, 0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:31.640 Paul Charge and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you. 0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:35.560 This is a game we like to call three tough question. 0:46:35.760 --> 0:46:37.680 Tough question number one. 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:41.759 Who is Atlanta's alpha receiver? Is it Drake London? Is 0:46:41.760 --> 0:46:45.279 it Darnell Mooney or is it neither? We'll begin with 0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:45.839 Scott Fish. 0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:46.439 Yeah. 0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:48.640 So I went through and I looked at their stats 0:46:48.640 --> 0:46:51.279 side by side as much as I possibly could, because 0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:53.239 I was trying to Mooney had the much better game 0:46:53.320 --> 0:46:55.960 last week, and I was trying to cook the recency bias. 0:46:56.440 --> 0:46:59.239 Mooney's had a better Fantasy Day only twice, and one 0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:02.239 was by less than half a point. Last week. The 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:06.000 outliar Mooney's out targeted London just once this year. Mooney 0:47:06.160 --> 0:47:10.839 doesn't have any red zone targets or has has had 0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.160 more red zone targets zero times compared to Drake London. 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.479 Almost everything from end zone targets, miss tackles, first downs, 0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:21.400 target share, everything except for a dot air yards, Mooney 0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:25.560 is behind London. But almost all those stats are really close. 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.640 Almost every one of those is really close. It's very 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:32.040 much an one A one B situation. So I think 0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:34.200 what you're going for here is for me to say neither, 0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.200 because there isn't like a traditional alpha. Drake Lindon's London 0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:41.800 is very clearly the one A. But they're so close, 0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:42.800 I'm gonna go with neither. 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:46.080 Okay, not a true alpha. Who is Atlanta's alpha receiver? 0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:48.840 Is it Drake London, Is it Darnell Mooney or is 0:47:48.880 --> 0:47:49.279 it neither? 0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:51.160 If Brian were here, he'd say Kyle. 0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.080 Pitts, Yes, he would, Yeah, you would. 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.279 I think Scott hit the nail on the head and 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.080 the demand that we call him a receiver not it, 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:01.520 That's right. I don't think it matters who the alpha is. 0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:03.520 And Scott used a lot of the stats that I 0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:05.800 was going to pull, but the additions of Cousins and 0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:08.919 Mooney have just helped the entire offense look good. I mean, 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:12.000 Drake London has had six or more receptions in six 0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:14.719 of his last seven games. That's fantastic. This is just 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:15.680 a good offense now. 0:48:16.600 --> 0:48:20.040 So your answer was it doesn't matter neither. Okay, all right, 0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:22.960 maybe it's just not a good question, which it was 0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:25.880 an easy question if you tighten the scope to the 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:29.799 last four games, and you know Kirk, it took took 0:48:29.880 --> 0:48:32.160 Kirk a couple of games to really sort of get 0:48:32.200 --> 0:48:32.960 into rhythm. 0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:36.640 I think the achilles is still kind of healing. To 0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:41.040 trust him last week. I think he's good now. 0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:43.120 I think he's in a good spot. If we tighten 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:46.560 the scope to the last four games, London averaging eleven 0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:49.320 more yards per game, but they're effectively tied in targets, 0:48:49.360 --> 0:48:52.240 They're tied in touchdowns. London has a very slight advantage 0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:55.880 in routes run London only averages one more catch. Mooney 0:48:55.920 --> 0:48:59.640 averaging sixteen more air yards, and his four to three speed, 0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:02.040 as wed to earlier in the show, makes him the 0:49:02.080 --> 0:49:05.239 bigger downfield threat. The answer really to me is neither, 0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:07.839 and they're both getting fed and I don't think there's 0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:08.560 a true alphin this. 0:49:08.640 --> 0:49:10.640 The question is is it neither or neither? 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:12.120 Oh? That is a question. 0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:14.360 Oh that might be the tough Are you neither neither? 0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:14.640 Guy? 0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:16.839 I think I used both. I'm not sure. I think 0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:17.439 I used both. 0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:19.000 Neither neither. 0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:25.080 We don't have any royalty here, neither, madam. I'm glad 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:25.399 we don't. 0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:27.279 Tough Question number two. 0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:31.480 TJ. Hockinson will make his twenty twenty four debut on 0:49:31.560 --> 0:49:35.880 Sunday night. Most often, will Hockinson be a top five 0:49:35.960 --> 0:49:39.160 tight end, a top ten tight end, a top fifteen 0:49:39.280 --> 0:49:43.120 tight end, or worse? Rest of the season, We'll begin 0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:43.839 with this one with. 0:49:43.840 --> 0:49:49.400 Matt Last year, only Evan Ingram had more receptions than TJ. Hockinson, 0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:51.319 and he missed a few games at the tail end 0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:53.760 of the year. With that acl he was also fourth 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.520 and tight end yardage with nine or sixty. In twenty 0:49:56.520 --> 0:49:59.000 twenty two, only Travis Kelsey had more receptions, and he 0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:01.359 was second and and Hawk was second in the league 0:50:01.360 --> 0:50:03.759 in yardage. He's sure handed, he gets open. He's a 0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.320 mismatch for defense. But all that happened with Kirk Cousins. 0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:08.399 We don't know for sure if we'll have the same 0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:11.560 chemistry with Sam Darnold. With that said, I think he's 0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:13.879 a top ten tight end. I think he's better than 0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:17.800 current top ten tight ends cad Otton, Cole Komet, Isaiah 0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:20.960 Likely Dalton Kinkaid. Hockinson's better than all those guys. So 0:50:21.200 --> 0:50:23.320 I think he's going to be around tight end six 0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:24.160 the rest of the way. 0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:25.799 Right on the edge, all right. So, but you're gonna 0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:28.840 put him into isay top top ten? Official answer yep Scott. 0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:32.239 Most often will TJ. Hockinson be a top five, top ten, 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:34.359 top fifteen or worse tight end. 0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:37.200 So the average at the cusp of the top five 0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.719 is about eleven PPR points per game, which is like 0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:44.600 a five for sixty average. Over the last three years 0:50:45.040 --> 0:50:49.480 TJ Hockinson four years, TJ. Hockinson has averaged eleven, eleven 0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:51.600 point nine to twelve point six and fourteen point seven. 0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:54.279 So he's right on the cusp, if not above it. 0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:59.360 With multiple different quarterbacks last last few years between the 0:50:59.360 --> 0:51:03.400 Lions and Vitans, the list is really Kittles Bowers McBride 0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:06.120 and then it's pretty open after that. Hawk has proven 0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:08.440 to be on the upper end. He's got six games 0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:11.880 against teams that are bottom third against tight ends. His 0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:14.719 toughest matchup is Week eighteen, so we don't even care 0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:18.080 about that one. I'm I'm gonna push it and go 0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:18.759 tough five. 0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:21.360 All right, this is you, guys hit almost all my 0:51:21.400 --> 0:51:24.640 talking points. The Vikings had the easiest remaining strength of 0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:27.040 schedule for tight ends the rest of the way. Scott 0:51:27.120 --> 0:51:31.080 hit on this already no negative opponents, two neutral opponents, 0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:35.480 and seven easy opponents against tight ends, and this offense 0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:36.480 gets hard to defend. 0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:37.040 You know. 0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:42.040 Now we're looking at Jefferson Addison, Aaron Jones, TJ. Hockinson. 0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:45.360 He's gonna have some opportunities here. And if the Vikings 0:51:45.360 --> 0:51:50.960 defense continues its current current trajectory, this team's gonna be 0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.399 playing from behind a lot and they're passing a lot more. 0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:56.040 This had been a very balanced offense. They may more 0:51:56.080 --> 0:52:00.399 go unbalanced, which is what Kevin O'Connell usually does. And 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:03.879 Scott hit on the history with Hockinson right around tight 0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:09.759 end five the last couple of years, because we're right 0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:11.840 on the edge of tight end five. But because of 0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:14.879 the injury, I'm gonna knock him down into that six 0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:17.600 to throe n range. Just because of the injury and 0:52:17.640 --> 0:52:20.640 the unknowns on that leg. We will go top ten 0:52:20.880 --> 0:52:21.920 for TJ. Hockinson. 0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:24.120 Tough question number three. 0:52:24.400 --> 0:52:26.759 It's been found money for Kareem Hunt since you picked 0:52:26.800 --> 0:52:29.799 him up off the waiver wire. Should you sell now, 0:52:30.320 --> 0:52:30.919 Scott Fish? 0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:35.000 So as you as you send us this question over here. 0:52:35.280 --> 0:52:37.080 He went on the trade block in three of my 0:52:37.160 --> 0:52:41.080 leagues this week. So okay, I was I was wondering. 0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:43.439 I was wondering if that's just a trend out there. 0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:46.480 Andy Reid did say Pachecko is closer to a return, 0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:48.920 and that might have been what spurred that. But for me, 0:52:49.040 --> 0:52:50.440 they are not a feed a team who wants to 0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:52.680 win a Super Bowl. I think they let Pachecko get 0:52:52.760 --> 0:52:57.880 fully fully rel ready. I don't think they want to 0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:00.719 rush it. So you got four of his five games 0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:04.320 are against bottom ten defenses against fantasy running backs weeks 0:53:04.320 --> 0:53:07.520 fourteenth through seventeen. Our defense is ranked third, ninth, sixth, 0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:11.759 and fifteenth fourteenth through seventeen, So some pretty tough ones there. 0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:14.600 I might wait a little closer to the trade deadline 0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:17.919 in your league. I say, no, So you're not, not, Matt. 0:53:18.000 --> 0:53:20.000 It's been found money with Kareem Hunt since you picked 0:53:20.040 --> 0:53:22.680 him up on the waiver wire. Should you sell now? 0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:23.320 Yeah? 0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.839 This is sneakily and Isaiah Pacheco question, like Scott sussed out, 0:53:27.160 --> 0:53:29.239 Andy Reid said he's doing fantastic. 0:53:29.440 --> 0:53:31.960 Yeah, doing fantastic, but not ready to practice. 0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:36.120 Yes, that means he's several weeks away from playing. And 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:40.120 like Scott said, this team has aspirations to win the 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:43.520 Super Bowl yet again. Pachiko got hurt in weeks fourteen 0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:45.919 and fifteen, missed a couple of games at the tail 0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:48.000 end of last season. They need him healthy for a 0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:49.959 playoff run where they're going to feed him twenty touches 0:53:50.000 --> 0:53:53.560 a game. They don't care if he's healthy until Week 0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:55.319 one of the playoffs for them. 0:53:55.840 --> 0:54:00.600 Kareem Hunt has been succeeding on volume only among thirty 0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:05.760 three qualifying starting running backs. Here is where Kareem Hunt ranks. 0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:09.879 Yards per carry thirtieth out of thirty three, yards after 0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:14.200 contact twenty nine out of thirty three, PFF's elusiveness grade 0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:19.879 twenty seventh, PFF's overall grade for running backs thirtieth out 0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:22.560 of thirty three. Hunt is not doing much of any 0:54:22.719 --> 0:54:24.120 three point seven yards per carry. 0:54:24.320 --> 0:54:25.879 There's a reason he was a free agent. 0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:28.880 He said he was a free agent. They're going to 0:54:29.000 --> 0:54:31.120 need to replace him, I think sooner than. 0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:31.480 You guys do. 0:54:31.760 --> 0:54:35.920 But his return timetable to practice looks like mid November. 0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:39.360 That puts him on the field late November, but not 0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:42.920 a full time role until probably December. I think you 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:46.000 guys are kind of right about that part. But if 0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:49.040 I can trade Kareem Hunt now at sort of the 0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:52.160 what should be the zenith of his value, because once 0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:55.680 Pataco starts practicing your cook you're not gonna get anything 0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:57.960 for Hunt. You still have to trade him. Well, he's 0:54:57.960 --> 0:55:00.520 got he's got some value to the acquir team. 0:55:00.680 --> 0:55:01.879 Yeah, I can right now. 0:55:01.920 --> 0:55:05.279 I see that trade Hunt for another good starting running back, 0:55:05.600 --> 0:55:07.480 and I'd like to make that swap to somebody. 0:55:07.239 --> 0:55:09.280 Who's okay, that's fair, fair point. 0:55:10.360 --> 0:55:13.600 Let's move on back to our matchups. Matt New England 0:55:13.680 --> 0:55:17.919 taking on Tennessee. Well, last hour, last hour, you said 0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:19.200 you could do this in one minute. You don't have 0:55:19.239 --> 0:55:19.759 to race through that. 0:55:19.840 --> 0:55:21.680 I won't, but I'm gonna go real slow. 0:55:22.080 --> 0:55:24.760 Ramandre Stevenson's the one Patriot that we care about. 0:55:24.880 --> 0:55:27.480 Yeah, he's an enigma, and so is this matchup for him. 0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:31.120 He had twenty three touches last week. Only managed sixty 0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:34.080 five yards on those touches, but scored twice, saving your 0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:36.879 hide there. But the prior four games you are more 0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:41.120 likely to get single digit touches than a touchdown for Remandre. 0:55:41.719 --> 0:55:44.239 Antonio Gibson limited all week with a turf toe injury. 0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:47.120 I don't think he's gonna go, so it's probably all 0:55:47.120 --> 0:55:49.919 Remandre against the Titans. Problem is Titans are the third 0:55:49.960 --> 0:55:52.680 best unit against runners in the league, allowing only one 0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:55.080 hundred and eight combo yards per game, but they have 0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:59.000 allowed running backs to score nine times this year, which 0:55:59.040 --> 0:56:02.839 is the ninth throw that all in a blender, Mix 0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:06.520 it up, pour it into a glass. It's a C grade. 0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:09.360 The passing game on the bench, Drake may or Jacoby 0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:13.879 Brissett may limited on Friday with concussion. The easy thing 0:56:13.920 --> 0:56:16.759 to do is just to not start anybody here. The 0:56:16.800 --> 0:56:19.120 Titans against Tennessee. Yeah, the Titans have given up the 0:56:19.160 --> 0:56:23.160 fewest completions and passing yards this year. They're top ten 0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:26.120 in every category against wide receivers and tight ends as well. 0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:29.320 Nothing to see here. On the other side, DeAndre Hopkins 0:56:29.400 --> 0:56:33.200 was really stifling Calvin Ridley's growth. Obviously, the minute Hopkins 0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:36.800 leaves Ridley sees fifteen targets, ten catches in one hundred 0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:39.520 and forty three yards, but the passing script was in 0:56:39.600 --> 0:56:42.040 play because the Titans trailed the Lions by like one 0:56:42.120 --> 0:56:45.319 hundred and eighty five points at halftime. This one's gonna 0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:47.799 be a little bit closer, and we don't know if 0:56:47.840 --> 0:56:50.680 it's gonna be Will Levis or Mason Rudolph starting this week. 0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:54.000 Rudolph started the past two games. The Titans lost in 0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:57.600 spectacular fashion in both of those. They're talking about Levis 0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:00.520 starting again this week, but he's got a shoulder injury. 0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:04.160 I'm benching the whole passing game, even Ridley. The Pats 0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.720 are a run funnel. This game might break the record 0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:08.000 for rushing attempts in a game. 0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:10.160 Really might get the christianansaw shadow too. 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:13.239 Yeah. Probably, And if Tony Pollard does go, he's a 0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:15.960 B grade for many of the reasons I liked Julius 0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:18.480 Chestnut as might take a chance on me runner. I'm 0:57:18.520 --> 0:57:21.080 worried about the foot, and I'm not talking about Shredder's 0:57:21.160 --> 0:57:22.200 gang of street tufts. 0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:27.960 It's well done, well done, teenage Mutan Naja Turtles. It's 0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:30.400 how Tampa Bay takes on Kansas City. All right, so 0:57:30.840 --> 0:57:34.200 you know how Aaron Rodgers is a rog and DeAndre 0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:36.960 Hopkins is d hop All right, what do you think 0:57:37.000 --> 0:57:37.160 of this? 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:38.200 Uh? 0:57:38.200 --> 0:57:44.880 Oh, see otton Cotton? No, so bold strategy Cotton pays 0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:45.640 off for him. 0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:49.000 I think we could call Kate otton cotton. Why can't we? 0:57:50.000 --> 0:57:51.440 If an. 0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:56.040 It would be, it would be do I need to pull? 0:57:56.040 --> 0:57:57.840 It would be Joe. 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:02.240 I don't know who that is. 0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:08.280 Joe, Yeah, you come from I never heard that song. 0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:10.080 I would like to believe I've never heard that. 0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:12.960 Wow, there's no way. 0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:14.840 Charge wasn't clubbing back then? 0:58:15.000 --> 0:58:17.760 I guess not. You guys make it sound like you 0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:19.760 would river dance to that song. I don't know what 0:58:20.120 --> 0:58:21.040 A lot of sporting. 0:58:20.720 --> 0:58:22.960 Events and now the title needs to be Cotton Eye 0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:25.800 Joe themed. I think changing it. 0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:27.840 Okay, But what if I just want to play so 0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:30.920 bold strategy cotton and then I was all that all 0:58:30.960 --> 0:58:31.400 the time. 0:58:32.720 --> 0:58:36.280 But we have all but your formula means we would 0:58:36.280 --> 0:58:37.280 be calling him set. 0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:40.840 So the reason you want to do this is not 0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:43.000 because you think it's a good nickname. It's because you 0:58:43.040 --> 0:58:44.120 want to play a sounder. 0:58:45.520 --> 0:58:47.439 By the way, that's what we do all the time here. 0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:51.040 I know, but here you found the song. I think 0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.680 you found the sounder first, and then you're like. 0:58:57.120 --> 0:58:58.320 What actually happened? 0:58:58.880 --> 0:59:00.880 Now do your matchup while we listen to this. 0:59:01.120 --> 0:59:04.600 Ye, no way, we can't play this game. No, I 0:59:04.640 --> 0:59:05.720 don't think we can play this. 0:59:05.960 --> 0:59:12.400 It's gonna take a little star Rosenhouse back. So let's 0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:13.640 talk about Cotton. 0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:16.000 He's starting to look like one of the best tight 0:59:16.120 --> 0:59:19.000 ends in the league. Cotton hasn't been below a seventeen 0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:22.400 percent targets yere since Week two, and over those six games, 0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:25.400 he's averaging seven and a half targets per game, third 0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:28.120 most among tight ends. And here comes Kansas City, the 0:59:28.160 --> 0:59:31.240 team allowing the most yards and the most receptions to 0:59:31.280 --> 0:59:36.360 tight ends. Cotton gets in a grade Bucky Irving may 0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:38.240 not play in this game, which is a bummer. Got 0:59:38.360 --> 0:59:40.720 he had a great game last week, the box sort 0:59:40.720 --> 0:59:43.000 didn't show it. He looks so good on the season. 0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:46.120 He ranks third in PFF's elusiveness rankings, and he ranks 0:59:46.160 --> 0:59:49.160 third and avoided tackle rate. It's a brutal matchup, though, 0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:51.720 against the team allowing the fewest rushing yards per game 0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:54.560 just fifty yards per game for Kansas City and no 0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:57.480 back has scored against the Chiefs since Week three. So 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:01.520 I'm with the injury. I can't I can't tell you 1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:03.680 to start Bucky Irving even if he's able to go. 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:07.160 Rashad White also on the bench. He regains his spots 1:00:07.200 --> 1:00:09.640 Tampa's lead back, but he's not running nearly as well 1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:11.720 as Irving, and more importantly, the Chiefs are just great 1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:14.240 at stopping the run, as I already outlined. So I've 1:00:14.240 --> 1:00:16.200 only got I've got Rashad White on the bench. Now 1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:18.120 you could say, well, Rashod White's gonna catch a few 1:00:18.160 --> 1:00:21.640 passes here, but really, no back has scored via the 1:00:21.640 --> 1:00:24.200 air against Kansas City all year either, and no back 1:00:24.240 --> 1:00:26.680 has top forty yards through the air against them since 1:00:26.720 --> 1:00:29.160 the opener, So I can't even I don't even like 1:00:29.200 --> 1:00:32.720 White that way, But if Irving doesn't go, I could 1:00:32.720 --> 1:00:34.480 get you to a C grade on White just through 1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:37.880 volume alone. I'll let's go back to the passing game. 1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:42.120 I mentioned my cotton grade already. Let's go to the receivers. 1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:45.720 Jaden McMillan with Evans and Godwin out, there were no 1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:49.120 real winners of that last week, but McMillan led Tampa's 1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:51.840 receivers and snaps and targets, but this matchup's a bad. 1:00:52.320 --> 1:00:56.080 He's going to go a lot against star cornerback Trent McDuffie. 1:00:56.280 --> 1:00:59.320 McDuffie's only allowing two catches for twenty five yards per 1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:02.080 game in his coverage, and nobody has scored against McDuffie 1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:05.480 this year. So Jalen McMillan also on the bench. Sterling 1:01:05.520 --> 1:01:08.400 Shepherd not expected to play in this game. All right, 1:01:08.520 --> 1:01:11.120 let's go over to uh oh, what about Baker Mayfield then, 1:01:11.160 --> 1:01:14.720 so Evanden's and Godwin out. Everybody was bracing for the 1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:17.960 flop game. Last week didn't come, but this week it's coming. 1:01:18.320 --> 1:01:21.120 Other than Kaydon, I don't like any of the receivers here. 1:01:21.280 --> 1:01:23.000 I can only get you to a C grade on 1:01:23.080 --> 1:01:27.320 Baker Mayfield against a very good defense, and even then, 1:01:27.400 --> 1:01:29.120 I think you're looking at like two hundred and thirty 1:01:29.200 --> 1:01:31.680 yards in one touchdown. Tons of respect for what Baker 1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:34.240 has done this year, but I hate this matchup. All right, 1:01:34.280 --> 1:01:37.200 Let's go to Kansas City and I'm gonna start with 1:01:37.240 --> 1:01:41.720 Patrick Mahomes enters this game as quarterback sixteen in passing 1:01:41.800 --> 1:01:46.280 yards and quarterback sixteen in passing touchdowns. That's it. Most 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:48.800 weeks in your twelve team league, you'd have been best 1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:53.600 off benching Patrick Mahomes, but not this week. It's all 1:01:54.000 --> 1:01:57.840 together against the Bucks. Tampa ranks bottom five and quarterback 1:01:57.880 --> 1:02:02.040 fantasy points allowed, passing yards allowed, passing touchdowns allowed, quarterback 1:02:02.120 --> 1:02:06.160 rushing yards allowed, and quarterback rushing touchdowns allowed. Three of 1:02:06.200 --> 1:02:10.080 the past four quarterbacks to face Tampa have scored four 1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:15.480 or five touchdowns. He gets an A grade in this game. 1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:18.600 Travis kelce In the four games since Rashi Rice went down, 1:02:18.680 --> 1:02:21.640 Kelsey's had three big games with no less than nine targets. 1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:24.360 The Bucks allow the fourth most fantasy points to tight ends, 1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:27.040 including allowing Kyle Pitts to score his first ever two 1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:30.520 touchdown game last week. Travis Kelcey gets an A grade. 1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:33.240 DeAndre Hopkins comes in with a C grade. You know, 1:02:33.280 --> 1:02:36.720 we've seen from Amari Cooper and DeVante Adams that it 1:02:36.800 --> 1:02:39.800 takes a couple of weeks to start getting fully immersed. 1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:42.479 Juju Smith Schuster is not gonna play in this one, 1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:45.560 and so I think with him out, Hopkins is on 1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:48.120 the field enough you could dart throw against the Tampa 1:02:48.160 --> 1:02:51.800 secondary that is bottom eight in receptions, yards and touchdowns 1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:54.480 allowed to receivers and Xavier Worthy yard you know what, 1:02:54.520 --> 1:02:57.160 the deal isn't Worthy, you get low relatively low volume, 1:02:57.600 --> 1:02:59.120 and then you're just hoping for the big game. But 1:02:59.280 --> 1:03:02.640 let me note this, he's really trending up in targets. 1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:05.920 In October he averaged seven targets per game after averaging 1:03:06.040 --> 1:03:10.000 just three targets in September. But it hasn't translated into 1:03:10.000 --> 1:03:13.160 big box scores yet. But I like this opportunity and speed. 1:03:13.200 --> 1:03:17.520 Guys have had success against Tampa Jamison Williams, Darnell Mooney 1:03:17.600 --> 1:03:20.720 with big games, So I'm gonna try Xavier Worthy at 1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:23.720 a C grade level here, and then Kareem Hunt, who 1:03:23.720 --> 1:03:27.440 we mentioned earlier, three straight starts, three straight games with 1:03:27.480 --> 1:03:30.520 at least twenty one carries and a touchdown, and just 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:32.920 through sheer volume. He's a good start again here, even 1:03:33.200 --> 1:03:36.960 against a decent but not great Tampa run defense. Runners 1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:39.320 are killing the Bucks through the air and Hunt does 1:03:39.400 --> 1:03:42.400 chip in a few receptions every game. Samaji p Runt 1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:44.000 could be a desperation play through the air, but I 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:45.640 don't think you want to go there, and he is 1:03:45.680 --> 1:03:47.560 on the bench, And if I didn't say it's specifically 1:03:47.640 --> 1:03:50.520 be great at Kareem Hunt in this matchup? 1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:55.040 Is Juju Smith Schuster a sneaky pickup right now? If 1:03:55.080 --> 1:03:57.560 you could return to that role, he's zero percent roster 1:03:57.680 --> 1:03:59.240 or he's twenty two percent rostered. 1:03:58.960 --> 1:04:01.280 Again, Yeah, he might very well be. And we saw 1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:03.880 the one game where he came back before he got hurt. Yeah, 1:04:03.880 --> 1:04:05.840 that was a big game running from the slot. Yeah, 1:04:05.880 --> 1:04:08.040 so yeah, he might be a sneaky pickup in leagues. 1:04:08.160 --> 1:04:10.960 Planning for next exactly, you know, hopefully we'll have a whole. 1:04:10.840 --> 1:04:12.880 Segment, Yeah, we do. 1:04:13.200 --> 1:04:15.720 Maybe we should talk about him there. When we come back, 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.360 Scott Fish will tell you if Evan Ingram is a 1:04:18.440 --> 1:04:22.960 smash starter with all these injured Jaguars players. Stay tuned 1:04:23.000 --> 1:04:50.080 Fantasy Football Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly. 1:04:50.200 --> 1:04:52.040 We've got a block of matchups for you, beginning with 1:04:52.120 --> 1:04:55.640 Jacksonville at Philadelphia. Scott, going into the break, I highlighted 1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:58.680 Evan Ingram in his matchup. You have all the hurt 1:04:58.680 --> 1:05:01.880 wide receivers for just so yep, we think the offense 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:04.320 is gonna largely passing OFFENSI funnel through Evan Ingram, but 1:05:04.360 --> 1:05:05.840 the Eagles know that. What do you think? 1:05:06.080 --> 1:05:06.240 You know? 1:05:06.280 --> 1:05:09.280 What Christian Kirk has Evan Ingram has done with Christian 1:05:09.360 --> 1:05:13.560 Kirk out average ten over ten targets per game like historically. 1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:17.160 Yeah wow, yeah, So I have an A grade on 1:05:17.200 --> 1:05:19.840 Evan Ingram. He's got twenty targets in the last three games, 1:05:19.880 --> 1:05:23.120 catching nineteen of those twenty targets for one hundred and 1:05:23.160 --> 1:05:26.440 seventy three yards. Competition for targets is decreased. We already 1:05:26.440 --> 1:05:29.520 mentioned we got a bunch of players who are maybe 1:05:29.560 --> 1:05:33.360 unlikely to go some game time decisions. All three tight 1:05:33.440 --> 1:05:35.720 ends with at least five targets against the Eagles had 1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:39.120 double digit Fantasy points. So eight grade for Evan Ingram. 1:05:39.160 --> 1:05:39.440 Okay. 1:05:40.680 --> 1:05:44.680 Also to just start off with Trevor Lawrence here bench grade. 1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:49.120 Eagles rank top ten in attempts, completion's, yard scores, and 1:05:49.240 --> 1:05:54.360 rushing touchdowns and rushing yards allowed two quarterbacks, So definitely 1:05:54.360 --> 1:05:55.400 a tough matchup here. 1:05:55.480 --> 1:05:59.200 Rosman's offseason. You know, mandate was fixed the second area 1:05:59.400 --> 1:06:00.400 and he's largely done it. 1:06:00.520 --> 1:06:05.480 Yep, yep. Overall, third toughest matchup for opposing passers wide 1:06:05.480 --> 1:06:08.040 receiver group is dinged up. Lawrence is coming off his 1:06:08.120 --> 1:06:10.400 best game and has multiple scores in four of the 1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:14.000 last six, but the matchup's just too tough. I do 1:06:14.120 --> 1:06:16.880 have a C grade on Brian Thomas Junior. If he goes, 1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:19.160 He's a game time decision. I've already mentioned. Might take 1:06:19.200 --> 1:06:22.160 a chance on me wide receiver as Parker Washington as 1:06:22.160 --> 1:06:25.120 being your pivot from Brian Thomas in that afternoon game. 1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:29.120 But the Eagles have given up. Gave up seven scores 1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:33.080 in the first four games and just into wide receivers 1:06:33.120 --> 1:06:35.400 and just one in the last three. That was Jamar 1:06:35.520 --> 1:06:37.880 Chase and it took eleven targets to get there. But 1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:39.880 I think it could be Brian Thomas. He saved his 1:06:39.960 --> 1:06:42.320 day last week with a big score and he does 1:06:42.320 --> 1:06:45.560 score a decent amount, So C grade on Brian Thomas. 1:06:45.560 --> 1:06:47.920 I've Gabe Davis on the bench. He is one of 1:06:47.960 --> 1:06:50.520 the game time decisions. Didn't have a target before he 1:06:50.640 --> 1:06:54.800 left last week. Too risky to start here. Over to 1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:58.040 the running game, Tank Bigsby. 1:06:59.040 --> 1:07:00.000 This is hard, isn't it? 1:07:00.120 --> 1:07:03.880 Both Tank and ETN are coming in with injuries. Etn 1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:07.040 there's word out there that Etn will retake his starter role, 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:10.520 which is gross. He's the guy that gets the pass 1:07:10.600 --> 1:07:15.280 catching work, but Travistn that every time man Travis. ETN 1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:19.040 is a game time decision. If somehow Bigsby doesn't go, 1:07:19.200 --> 1:07:21.680 then ETN might get a C grade if Big. If 1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:24.080 ETN and Bigsby are both in, I have a C 1:07:24.240 --> 1:07:27.360 grade on Bigsby and a bench on ETN, but I 1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:29.360 don't love it. They haven't a lot, the Eagles having 1:07:29.400 --> 1:07:31.680 a lot of back over fifty yards since Week three 1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:35.280 and that took Alvin Kamara twenty six aries to get 1:07:35.280 --> 1:07:39.280 there to fifty three yards to fifty third Uh yeah, 1:07:39.320 --> 1:07:41.840 to get over fifty yards. I don't remember what it was. 1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:43.880 I think it was some like eighties or something. But 1:07:45.000 --> 1:07:48.600 charges is espoused tanks metrics over and over, so I 1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:49.920 won't walk over on that. 1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:51.080 It's a brutal matchup. 1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:53.760 Yeah, the two games without ETN, so if ETN doesn't go, 1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:57.280 Tank had twenty and twenty six touches, so there's there's 1:07:57.320 --> 1:07:59.440 a lot of room there, but C grade for the 1:07:59.560 --> 1:08:02.480 tank Big. On the Philly side, I just have four 1:08:02.480 --> 1:08:04.560 grades and they're all going to be a's. Okay, that's 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:06.920 just where it is. Jalen hurts. I really don't need 1:08:07.000 --> 1:08:08.880 to go too deep, but I'll note the Jags are 1:08:08.880 --> 1:08:12.320 the second easiest matchup for fantasy quarterbacks, allowing multiple scores 1:08:12.360 --> 1:08:15.280 in five of their last six sixteen scores total in 1:08:15.320 --> 1:08:18.240 that stretch. By the way, Jalen hurts five rushing touchdowns 1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:19.800 in just the last two weeks. 1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:21.000 The touch pushes back. 1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:24.240 Yeah, that's unreal. AJ Brown gets an A. The Jags 1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:26.799 have allowed the second most twenty plus yard completions, second 1:08:26.800 --> 1:08:30.320 most forty plus yard completions, bottom five in yards and 1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:34.799 receptions allowed to wide receivers, allowing the third most yards 1:08:34.840 --> 1:08:38.240 to the fantasy points to the perimeter. AJ Brown five 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:40.920 plus catches in all games, eighty four plus in all 1:08:40.960 --> 1:08:44.080 but in all games, in all three of the four 1:08:44.120 --> 1:08:45.760 and only in all four of his games, and he 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:48.960 scored in three of his four games. DeVonta Smith led 1:08:48.960 --> 1:08:51.439 the Eagles and targets last week nearly a forty percent 1:08:51.520 --> 1:08:53.720 target share. We've I've gone over for a couple of 1:08:53.760 --> 1:08:55.880 years now what he does with Goddard out, And I'm 1:08:55.920 --> 1:08:58.880 gonna ignore the Barkley revenge game where he had a dud. 1:08:58.960 --> 1:09:02.360 I think part in part because of that and sequon 1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:05.280 Barkley's an auto a averaging twenty one touches for one 1:09:05.320 --> 1:09:07.840 hundred and twenty four yards against a bottom three Rundy 1:09:07.920 --> 1:09:10.080 that's allowed ten scores to running backs. 1:09:10.280 --> 1:09:12.559 Obviously, you know Barkley. I think Barkley's my number one 1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:15.280 player overall for the week. Yeah, all right, Matt, let's 1:09:15.280 --> 1:09:20.360 go to Washington taking on the Giants. Jayden Daniels back 1:09:20.479 --> 1:09:22.720 and on automatic start here, I assume. 1:09:22.479 --> 1:09:26.000 Yeah, obviously his prayers are being answered by the football gods. 1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:28.600 We can't get in the way of that. Terry McLaurin 1:09:28.720 --> 1:09:32.240 gets a B grade. Terry has double digit PPR points 1:09:32.240 --> 1:09:34.400 in five of his last six games. The one he 1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:37.920 did not get to double digit PPR points, he had 1:09:38.040 --> 1:09:41.240 nine point eight PPR points, So he's right there. And 1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:43.920 I spouted off some stats about how terrible the Giants 1:09:44.000 --> 1:09:46.760 corners were when I talked about Noah Brown as might 1:09:46.760 --> 1:09:49.160 take a chance on me wide receiver. So like the 1:09:49.200 --> 1:09:53.040 passing game here, including Zach Ertz, the best two tight 1:09:53.160 --> 1:09:56.280 ends the Giants have faced this year, Jake Ferguson and 1:09:56.640 --> 1:10:00.000 zech Ertz. Both of them managed double digit PPR points, 1:10:00.320 --> 1:10:02.679 but really they faced no one else, which is why 1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:05.240 they haven't allowed a tight end touchdown this year. I 1:10:05.240 --> 1:10:09.000 think Ertz changes that this week. He's coming off eleven targets, 1:10:09.040 --> 1:10:11.600 seven catches seventy seven yards. Last week, I got a 1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:14.920 B grade on zach ertz Ok. Brian Robinson gets a 1:10:14.960 --> 1:10:18.080 B grade. I'm gonna give Austin Eckler a C. The 1:10:18.120 --> 1:10:21.400 Giants are allowing five point four yards per carry. That's 1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:23.800 the worst mark in the league, and that's great for 1:10:23.880 --> 1:10:26.960 both of them. They're allowing the eighth most receptions and 1:10:27.040 --> 1:10:29.639 the sixth most receiving yards to opposing backs, and that's 1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:32.040 why Eckler's in play too. But why not A and 1:10:32.120 --> 1:10:35.720 B grades. Giants have only allowed four total touchdowns to 1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:38.960 the running back position all year. They're a very classic bend, 1:10:39.000 --> 1:10:42.519 but don't break defense. On the other side, it's Tyrone 1:10:42.560 --> 1:10:46.479 Tracy's team now, Bye bye Devin Singletary. Tracy ran the 1:10:46.520 --> 1:10:48.840 ball twenty times for one hundred and forty five yards 1:10:48.840 --> 1:10:51.720 in a score last week. He looked good too. He's 1:10:51.760 --> 1:10:54.680 still available in about a third of leagues and the 1:10:54.720 --> 1:10:57.280 matchup is pretty good. This week. The Commanders are allowing 1:10:57.640 --> 1:11:01.640 these second most yards per attempted five point three, and 1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:03.840 they're giving up the sixth most rushing yards and the 1:11:03.880 --> 1:11:06.879 seventh most rushing score. So a B grade for Tracy. 1:11:07.640 --> 1:11:10.720 The last time Danny Dimes threw a touchdown pass in 1:11:10.800 --> 1:11:16.480 MetLife Stadium was January first, twenty twenty three. That's exactly 1:11:16.560 --> 1:11:19.599 twenty two months ago. Why since he threw a touchdown 1:11:19.640 --> 1:11:21.080 pass at his home stadium. 1:11:21.120 --> 1:11:23.680 And the thing is, we think like last year, like 1:11:23.720 --> 1:11:29.080 missed the whole season. He played six games last year. Yeah, wow, terrible. 1:11:29.120 --> 1:11:32.400 He also hasn't thrown a touchdown in three straight games 1:11:32.400 --> 1:11:36.040 of real time. The Commanders have given up exactly three 1:11:36.200 --> 1:11:40.200 touchdown passes in their last five games. They held Kyler 1:11:40.320 --> 1:11:43.519 Watson and Lamar to one passing score apiece. They held 1:11:43.560 --> 1:11:46.519 Caleb Williams two one hundred and thirty one passing yards 1:11:46.680 --> 1:11:50.080 and no scores last week. Daniel Jones gets a bench grade. 1:11:50.120 --> 1:11:52.600 And it's making it very difficult to start some of 1:11:52.640 --> 1:11:54.679 these wide receivers. And the wide receivers have been good. 1:11:54.800 --> 1:11:57.000 Is Drew Locke a pick up in deep like you know, 1:11:57.000 --> 1:11:58.560 two quarterback leagues superflex? 1:11:59.000 --> 1:12:01.040 I think they're gonna stick with Dimes the rest of 1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:02.559 the year. If they were going to do something to 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:04.360 get Drew Locke in, they would have done it by now. 1:12:05.400 --> 1:12:07.760 Malik Neighbors, I'm still giving him a B grade. He's 1:12:07.760 --> 1:12:10.839 seen double digit targets in four of his six career games. 1:12:11.240 --> 1:12:15.920 He gets the easiest matchup against Benjamin Saint, just Darius 1:12:16.000 --> 1:12:18.400 Slayton coming off a one hundred and eight yard game 1:12:19.160 --> 1:12:21.919 but a week removed from a one catch for eleven 1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:26.960 yard game. Andy gets the toughest matchup against Mike Seine Restill, 1:12:27.400 --> 1:12:30.599 so he's on the bench, and Wandale Robinson's matchup again 1:12:30.720 --> 1:12:37.639 in the slot against Noah Igbogany. I'm gonna go with that. Yes, 1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:40.240 it's right in the middle. Considering he's at at least 1:12:40.240 --> 1:12:43.200 five receptions in six straight games, I think he's worthy 1:12:43.200 --> 1:12:46.160 of a volume C in PPR leagues, but you're absolutely 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:48.120 lucky if one of them finds the end zone. 1:12:48.240 --> 1:12:51.519 Indianapolis takes on Minnesota, there's some nice opportunities on the 1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:54.800 Colts side. I'm gonna start with Joe Flacco is a 1:12:54.800 --> 1:12:58.000 great opportunity. Viking's ring thirty first in passing yards allowed, 1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:01.439 they're twenty seventh in passing touchdowns, and it's gotten worse lately. 1:13:01.960 --> 1:13:05.880 Four straight quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns against Minnesota, and 1:13:06.040 --> 1:13:09.439 when Flaco faced the similarly bad Jaguars defense in Week five, 1:13:10.040 --> 1:13:12.559 he threw for three hundred and sixty yards and three scores. 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:17.280 So Joe Flacco A grade in this one. Josh downs 1:13:17.280 --> 1:13:19.160 was might take a chance to be wide receiver. I 1:13:19.200 --> 1:13:22.639 love him here, Jo, but let's go to Michael Pittman, 1:13:22.680 --> 1:13:29.160 who also very startable here. Under Anthony Richardson, Michael Pittman 1:13:29.320 --> 1:13:34.000 is wide receiver fifty one, that's Van Jefferson. In the 1:13:34.040 --> 1:13:38.160 Flacco starts, Pittman goes to wide receiver twenty one, that's 1:13:38.160 --> 1:13:41.800 steph On Diggs. Vikings are allowing the second most yards 1:13:41.800 --> 1:13:44.920 to wide receivers, third most touchdowns to wide receivers. He'll 1:13:44.920 --> 1:13:47.960 match up with Stephan Gilmore most often. His past two 1:13:47.960 --> 1:13:50.439 games have been bad, with touchdowns allowed in both games, 1:13:50.479 --> 1:13:53.439 and nine of eleven targets have been caught against Stephan Gilmore. 1:13:53.720 --> 1:13:56.479 Michael Pittman B grade in this one. You might be 1:13:56.520 --> 1:13:58.400 thinking you want to throw a dart at Alec Pierce 1:13:58.520 --> 1:14:01.479 or Donny Mitchell. I wouldn't blame you. I can't get you. 1:14:01.520 --> 1:14:03.680 Their volume is so low. I can't get you to 1:14:03.720 --> 1:14:06.960 a C grade. But if you want to, the metrics 1:14:07.000 --> 1:14:09.639 would suggest the Vikings could get beat on this, So okay, 1:14:09.880 --> 1:14:11.600 I could see it but I can't get it to 1:14:11.680 --> 1:14:14.759 a letter grade on those guys. Jonathan Taylor A grade. 1:14:14.800 --> 1:14:18.559 The Vikings run defense had been awesome all year until 1:14:18.640 --> 1:14:21.479 they lost middle linebacker Blake Cashman a few weeks ago, 1:14:21.800 --> 1:14:24.559 and then since then the whole thing's disintegrated. The past 1:14:24.560 --> 1:14:27.280 two lead backs to face the Vikings, Jimi or Gibbs 1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:31.040 Hyan Williams, have posted big games. Gibbs scored twice and 1:14:31.080 --> 1:14:33.519 rolled up one hundred and fifty yards. Williams scored once 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:35.760 put up one hundred and sixteen yards. Jonathan Taylor A 1:14:35.920 --> 1:14:38.920 grade on the Vikings side, Justin Jefferson's and obvious A. 1:14:39.120 --> 1:14:42.720 But you can start Justin Addison at a sea level now. 1:14:42.760 --> 1:14:45.519 The cold secondary is improved lately. Over the past three games, 1:14:45.560 --> 1:14:48.639 they're the sixth best fantasy defense against wideouts, and over 1:14:48.640 --> 1:14:51.400 those three games, only one receiver scored. Nobody's topped eighty 1:14:51.439 --> 1:14:54.799 one yards. Addison runs from all parts of the field equally. 1:14:55.000 --> 1:14:57.880 He'll see all three of Indie's starting cornerbacks and they're 1:14:57.920 --> 1:15:01.400 all good. More Womack Jones. I'll have top twenty four 1:15:01.400 --> 1:15:04.599 cornerback grades. In fact, I'm moving. I'm moving, Justin I'm 1:15:04.600 --> 1:15:05.719 moving Justin ats Jordan. 1:15:05.920 --> 1:15:07.160 Let's call him Jordan. 1:15:07.479 --> 1:15:11.160 You called him justin three times nine times? 1:15:11.320 --> 1:15:14.439 You know what I think after the three three thing? 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:17.360 This is a squeaky greasy wheel cheese game. 1:15:17.479 --> 1:15:19.519 It could be that, right, Yeah, it's a cheese game. 1:15:20.040 --> 1:15:21.599 Well, squeaky squeaky wheel. 1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:24.920 I just like calling it the cheese squabr squeaky wheel. 1:15:25.000 --> 1:15:27.320 By the way, it was horrible and I'm glad it's gone. 1:15:27.360 --> 1:15:32.040 You hate it, Yeah, it's now Cotton. It's a cotton, 1:15:32.320 --> 1:15:33.639 bold strategy, Cotton. 1:15:33.680 --> 1:15:36.280 Let's see off a new sound on the board. 1:15:37.320 --> 1:15:37.599 TJ. 1:15:37.680 --> 1:15:39.479 Hockinson. You might be wondering if you can start him 1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:41.720 in his first game back. I originally had him as 1:15:41.720 --> 1:15:44.000 a bench and then you know, I think he's going 1:15:44.040 --> 1:15:47.040 to get half to three quarters of the snaps and 1:15:47.400 --> 1:15:49.240 I'm kind of I'm kind of starting to think maybe 1:15:49.320 --> 1:15:51.959 you could get Hockinson in at a sea grade. 1:15:52.080 --> 1:15:54.560 Now that's a bold strategy, Cotton. 1:15:54.520 --> 1:15:57.479 Yeah, so bold Cotton. 1:15:57.520 --> 1:15:59.960 Let's see of decent tight ends are having big games 1:16:00.080 --> 1:16:04.360 against Indianapolis. John new Smith, Cole kmet Patrick, Firemouth all scored. 1:16:04.439 --> 1:16:09.120 They're good, not great, and really the Colts have been 1:16:09.120 --> 1:16:11.720 a yielding tight end defense they haven't played any they 1:16:11.720 --> 1:16:14.160 haven't played a single tight end as good as Hockinson 1:16:14.240 --> 1:16:16.360 is when healthy, so I've got a C grade on him. 1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:19.720 Last couple of guys, Sam Donald singing with the passing game. 1:16:19.960 --> 1:16:22.439 Colts looked improve against the pass lately, but their last 1:16:22.439 --> 1:16:25.599 three games were against backup grade quarterbacks like Will Levis, 1:16:25.640 --> 1:16:29.200 Tyler Huntley, and then last week CJ. Stroud missing Snicocllins 1:16:29.200 --> 1:16:32.240 and Stefan Diggs. So prior to that they've been giving 1:16:32.320 --> 1:16:35.280 up over three hundred and twelve yards and just three 1:16:35.360 --> 1:16:37.920 straight passers. So I'm optimistic that Donald's going to do 1:16:37.960 --> 1:16:41.599 well here, even though they lost left tackle Christian Darisow, 1:16:41.680 --> 1:16:45.120 big loss, but the Vikings traded for tackle Cam Robinson 1:16:45.120 --> 1:16:47.800 on Tuesday. Hopefully can play a few snaps here and 1:16:47.880 --> 1:16:51.280 keep Sam Donald up right long enough to people ap grade. 1:16:51.640 --> 1:16:53.519 They're gonna start him. He's gonna play the whole game. 1:16:53.680 --> 1:16:58.120 Yeah, maybe, I don't know, that could be the case. Lastly, 1:16:58.160 --> 1:17:01.240 Aaron Jones, Colts run defense isn't that bad if you 1:17:01.360 --> 1:17:05.559 take out workhorsebacks with twenty five or more carries, which 1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:07.599 is a lot, and Aaron Jones never gets near that. 1:17:08.200 --> 1:17:11.320 Only two runners have posted meaningful fantasy days against Indy 1:17:11.439 --> 1:17:15.760 that was Tank bigs B and Tony Pollard. Because Minnesota's 1:17:15.800 --> 1:17:18.439 missing Christian darris On. As they're left tackled, they might 1:17:18.760 --> 1:17:23.200 run more often as to not expose Sam Donald's blind 1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:26.599 side to a bunch of attacks. So I like Jones 1:17:26.640 --> 1:17:28.639 here at a B grade level. 1:17:28.720 --> 1:17:31.320 When talking about TJ. Hockinson, you said the Colts haven't 1:17:31.320 --> 1:17:34.040 faced any tight ends. They played John U two weeks ago. 1:17:34.200 --> 1:17:36.439 I know, and he did great seven for nice at 1:17:36.520 --> 1:17:39.800 hockets level, but it felt like shots fired John. Why 1:17:39.800 --> 1:17:40.479 would I do that? 1:17:40.920 --> 1:17:41.560 Why would I do? 1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:42.840 You're upset with him? 1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:46.360 When we come back the Fantasy Football Weekly Time Machine 1:17:47.120 --> 1:17:49.920 premature speculation, Guys, you want to bring up now that 1:17:50.000 --> 1:18:12.400 other people will try to pick up next week? Final 1:18:12.439 --> 1:18:15.519 segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Chargi and Scott Fish 1:18:15.600 --> 1:18:18.639 and Matt Harrison with you. It's time to jump into 1:18:18.640 --> 1:18:22.640 the Fantasy Football Weekly Time is she Es. Guys who 1:18:22.680 --> 1:18:24.240 want to pick a mount that other people will try 1:18:24.240 --> 1:18:25.880 to pick up later in the week. We begin with 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:26.479 Scott Fish. 1:18:26.560 --> 1:18:29.679 Yeah, I'm going with the Norland Saints. Mason Tipton maybe 1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:32.559 four through three. Speedster, You're you're picking him up, hoping 1:18:32.600 --> 1:18:36.519 that he takes the car's new Rashid Shahid role. UH 1:18:36.800 --> 1:18:40.240 eighty percent snaps last two weeks, led targets two weeks ago, 1:18:40.320 --> 1:18:43.160 as second in targets last week. UH could be could 1:18:43.200 --> 1:18:43.920 be a good pick up. 1:18:44.080 --> 1:18:46.960 I'm starting him over Romandra Stevenson in your in your league. 1:18:46.960 --> 1:18:49.000 That's how I feel about Mason Tipton. We'll see if 1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:51.320 it pays off. Matt your premature speculation player. 1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:53.519 My guy already played on Thursday, so this is kind 1:18:53.520 --> 1:18:56.479 of a next week. It's Braylen Allen and the people 1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:58.519 are gonna probably be dropping him because he ran the 1:18:58.520 --> 1:19:00.559 ball four times for nine yards. But prior to that, 1:19:00.600 --> 1:19:03.240 as snap counts, we're climbing. He saw his first inside 1:19:03.240 --> 1:19:05.479 the five snap in Week eight and he scored on it. 1:19:06.040 --> 1:19:10.000 And the upcoming schedule is fantastic for the Jets too, Arizona, Indie, 1:19:10.080 --> 1:19:13.120 Seattle and then dates with Miami, Jacksonville and Buffalo down 1:19:13.160 --> 1:19:14.920 the stretch round. This is the time of the year 1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:17.000 that you acquire backup running backs that have a lot 1:19:17.000 --> 1:19:19.400 of talent and a good schedule. He fits the bill. 1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:24.599 My premature speculation player is Carolina wide receiver Jalen Cocher. Yes, 1:19:24.680 --> 1:19:28.160 probably not up to speed on your holy Cross wide receivers. 1:19:28.240 --> 1:19:31.280 Now the Deantae Johnson's out, we've seen a huge spike 1:19:31.320 --> 1:19:34.840 in usage from Jalen Cocher. I asked Thor about him 1:19:34.880 --> 1:19:37.960 because Thor knows, Hey, well, this Holy Cross receiver. Yea, 1:19:38.200 --> 1:19:41.240 so here's what he said. Coker went undrafted because he 1:19:41.280 --> 1:19:43.840 comes from an FCF school, doesn't have high end speed, 1:19:43.840 --> 1:19:47.639 but he has ball skills. Coker has late hands, preventing 1:19:47.720 --> 1:19:50.120 dbi's from playing the ball, and he doesn't drop anything. 1:19:50.479 --> 1:19:53.320 He extends his catch radius by spearing the ball outside 1:19:53.400 --> 1:19:56.920 his frame. He's been Carolina's highest graded Pro Football Focus 1:19:56.960 --> 1:20:00.960 wide receiver on the year, Jalen Cocher. All three games 1:20:01.240 --> 1:20:03.800 he's played a factor in, which is Week five, Week seven, 1:20:03.840 --> 1:20:07.599 a Week eight, Poker played seventy nine percent or more 1:20:07.680 --> 1:20:11.080 of the snaps in the slot and he and even 1:20:11.120 --> 1:20:14.360 if Thelan comes back, he's more of a natural outside receiver, 1:20:14.520 --> 1:20:17.680 so they could just flip him outside when theland returns. 1:20:18.320 --> 1:20:20.719 Let's get to our final two matchups, Scott. We begin 1:20:20.800 --> 1:20:23.600 with the Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks. 1:20:24.000 --> 1:20:26.760 Yeah, I'm starting with Matthew Stafford off here with a 1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:31.200 B grade. With Cooper Cup and Poka Nakua back, it 1:20:31.280 --> 1:20:33.800 seems like he's back. He had four scores last week, 1:20:34.000 --> 1:20:37.080 albeit a very easy defense for him. He only had 1:20:37.120 --> 1:20:40.000 four passing scores on the season prior to that. Seattle 1:20:40.120 --> 1:20:43.040 on that side started off the year holding down early 1:20:43.080 --> 1:20:46.280 season Week one version of bon Nicks and then Brissett, 1:20:46.320 --> 1:20:49.920 Skylar Thompson, etc. The last five weeks they've allowed Goff, Jones, 1:20:49.960 --> 1:20:53.320 Perty Cousins, Josh Allen to average two hundred and sixty 1:20:53.320 --> 1:20:56.960 three yards and two scores, including multiple scores to four 1:20:57.000 --> 1:20:58.920 of them. I have a B grade here. You could 1:20:58.920 --> 1:21:01.040 talk me into an A. But the pooka nakoua thing. 1:21:01.400 --> 1:21:01.799 Yeah. 1:21:01.840 --> 1:21:05.439 If if he is limited or doesn't go, That's why 1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:09.000 I'm dropping Matthew down to a B. Puka nakua. If 1:21:09.000 --> 1:21:12.360 he does go, if you start him, he's he's not 1:21:12.439 --> 1:21:15.680 gonna go off. If you don't start him, please, if 1:21:15.680 --> 1:21:18.080 you if you bench him, he's absolutely going off. But 1:21:18.240 --> 1:21:19.720 we will see if he does go. I do it. 1:21:19.760 --> 1:21:21.479 I do still have an A grade. Even with that 1:21:21.560 --> 1:21:25.200 knee injury. He only ran twenty two routes against the Vikings, 1:21:25.720 --> 1:21:28.200 but he cut seven of them for one hundred and 1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:32.200 six yards. Real yeah, so so so I do like 1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:34.599 him if he goes. The Seahawks have allowed eight wide 1:21:34.640 --> 1:21:37.639 receivers wide receivers to top one hundred and or score 1:21:37.680 --> 1:21:40.360 in just the last five games, So I'm given an 1:21:40.400 --> 1:21:43.479 A grade also to Cooper Cup. He's gonna get the 1:21:43.479 --> 1:21:47.240 tough matchup with Devin Witherspoon. Body does move around a lot, 1:21:47.439 --> 1:21:49.920 and the Seahawks do allow the fewest points to the 1:21:49.960 --> 1:21:52.800 slot because that bit's Cooper Cup. So A grade there. 1:21:53.479 --> 1:21:58.000 If Puka doesn't go, Jordan Whittington's an interesting interesting play here. 1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:01.679 Bench grade. But if Pook doesn't go, the two games 1:22:01.720 --> 1:22:04.880 prior to Whittington's injury, six for sixty two and seven 1:22:05.360 --> 1:22:08.240 for eighty nine on eighteen targets, he was getting the targets, 1:22:08.280 --> 1:22:11.000 not Robinson, who will only add three targets last week, 1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:13.519 but two were touchdowns. I have Robinson on the bench 1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:17.040 in the running game, Blake Korn's not getting anything anymore, 1:22:17.360 --> 1:22:20.599 that's all. So it's just all. Karen Williams, averaging twenty 1:22:20.600 --> 1:22:23.439 two touches for eighty nine yards, has scored in every 1:22:23.479 --> 1:22:26.600 game this year. In fact, ten ten total scores, but 1:22:26.680 --> 1:22:29.120 he scored in ten regular season games dating back to 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:33.160 last year, ten straight. Seattle's allowed the most rushing yards, 1:22:33.160 --> 1:22:35.080 most combo yards. I can go on, but it's an 1:22:35.120 --> 1:22:37.679 A grade because it's just just a really good spot 1:22:37.680 --> 1:22:40.240 for him. Over on the Seattle side, I only have 1:22:40.280 --> 1:22:42.920 a C grade on Gino. Smith failed to throw a 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:45.240 touchdown pass for the first time this season last week. 1:22:45.520 --> 1:22:47.479 He's only got one multi score game, though he usually 1:22:47.520 --> 1:22:49.280 only throws one touchdown. 1:22:49.160 --> 1:22:52.120 And he's the NFL leader in yard yards, passing yardage, 1:22:52.479 --> 1:22:54.200 air yards. Everything's getting in the end. 1:22:54.160 --> 1:22:58.160 Zone exactly exactly. He averages forty five fewer yards in 1:22:58.200 --> 1:23:00.519 games with Kenneth Walker, but that's still two hundred and 1:23:00.520 --> 1:23:03.759 sixty three yards a game. The Rams boast the second 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:08.080 highest pressure rate, but our bottom ten in Saxon knockdowns. 1:23:08.400 --> 1:23:12.439 They're pressuring, they're just not getting into the quarterback. In 1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:15.240 the three games last year against the Rams, Gino failed 1:23:15.240 --> 1:23:17.320 to top two hundred and thirty three yards had just 1:23:17.479 --> 1:23:20.280 one score in each, So that two sixty three and 1:23:20.320 --> 1:23:23.840 one sounds pretty fair here against the Rams top ten 1:23:24.200 --> 1:23:27.200 pass defense against passers allowing two hundred and twenty eight 1:23:27.280 --> 1:23:29.960 yards per game, so C grade on Gino Smith, d 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:33.080 Gay Metcalf has been ruled out, so I got starting 1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:37.400 grades on Jackson Smith, Injigba, and Tyler Lockett. Here, six 1:23:37.439 --> 1:23:40.599 wide receivers have had eight or more targets against the Rams. 1:23:40.880 --> 1:23:42.920 They averaged one hundred and four yards in a score. 1:23:42.960 --> 1:23:45.240 I think the more likely target for that is Jackson 1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:47.720 Smith and Jigba, who has six plus targets in five 1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:51.120 straight and he's led the team in snaps six of 1:23:51.200 --> 1:23:54.920 the last seven with Metcalf sideline. Last week he had 1:23:54.920 --> 1:23:57.800 a twenty six percent target chair, so I like him 1:23:57.800 --> 1:23:59.799 with a C grade here, and I like Tyler Lockett 1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:03.439 because the Rams allowed the sixth most fantasy points to 1:24:03.520 --> 1:24:07.640 perimeter wide receivers even though I was targeted by JSN 1:24:07.640 --> 1:24:10.000 and with Metcalf out last week he had a bad week. 1:24:10.200 --> 1:24:12.080 This is a little bit better spot for him and 1:24:12.120 --> 1:24:14.680 he's going to have to step up. His four for 1:24:14.800 --> 1:24:17.040 fifty average is going to come into play a little 1:24:17.120 --> 1:24:23.040 higher with the kout potentially Kenneth Walker, Yeah, unreal. This 1:24:23.120 --> 1:24:25.880 year he is leading running backs in fantasy points per 1:24:25.920 --> 1:24:28.200 game because he missed a couple leading running backs in 1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:32.400 points per game second in miss tackles forced per touch 1:24:32.439 --> 1:24:35.639 behind James Connor, who is shaky. He's just shook three 1:24:35.680 --> 1:24:38.439 tackles as I was talking. It's unreal what he's doing, 1:24:39.040 --> 1:24:41.920 averaging seventeen touches, but four and a half are catches, 1:24:41.960 --> 1:24:45.920 which just gives him insane production. He scored seven times 1:24:45.960 --> 1:24:49.080 in six games, and every lead back against the ram 1:24:49.520 --> 1:24:52.639 Rams has had eighty eight plus total yards. Every single 1:24:52.680 --> 1:24:54.479 one that his face. Lead back that has faced the 1:24:54.560 --> 1:24:58.000 Rams cell a grade for Kenneth Walker. There. I would 1:24:58.120 --> 1:24:59.719 have a dart throw on Noah Fan, but he hasn't 1:24:59.720 --> 1:25:02.160 been just seemed to end the week, So I'm gonnayeah mention. 1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:03.639 Yeah, Walker so good? 1:25:03.800 --> 1:25:04.680 Yeah, I'm so good. 1:25:04.720 --> 1:25:08.120 I love Kennth Walker. I love Kenneth Walker. All Right, 1:25:08.160 --> 1:25:10.720 Matt Detroit takes on Green Bay. You have not yet 1:25:10.760 --> 1:25:13.080 doled out a fantasy fonsie yet. Are we going to 1:25:13.120 --> 1:25:14.240 get one out of this matchup? 1:25:14.320 --> 1:25:16.679 We might here, Let's start on the Green Bay side 1:25:16.680 --> 1:25:19.880 because this one's a little thornier. Josh Jacobs limited all 1:25:19.920 --> 1:25:22.000 week with an ankle injury. It seems like he's trending 1:25:22.000 --> 1:25:24.280 toward going in this one, but keep an eye. It's 1:25:24.280 --> 1:25:27.800 a terrible matchup, though the Lion's top five in rush yards, receptions, 1:25:27.840 --> 1:25:31.360 receiving yards, combo yards. Just a C grade for Jacobs 1:25:31.400 --> 1:25:33.920 if he goes. If he's unable to go, it's Emmanuel 1:25:33.960 --> 1:25:37.120 Wilson or Chris Brooks who might pop into some full 1:25:37.120 --> 1:25:39.040 time duties. That's gross. You don't want to do that. 1:25:39.600 --> 1:25:43.000 Jordan Love also limited this week with the grand injury 1:25:43.000 --> 1:25:45.360 that knocked him out of last week's game. He did 1:25:45.400 --> 1:25:48.679 throw on Thursday and Friday, so it seems fairly likely 1:25:48.760 --> 1:25:54.000 that he's the starter question mark if not Malik Willis, 1:25:54.040 --> 1:25:56.680 and that changes everything. So if Love goes, he's got 1:25:56.680 --> 1:25:59.120 the declining pressure rate that the Lions have been experiencing 1:25:59.200 --> 1:26:02.120 since losing eight. Hutchinson going in his direction, and I'll 1:26:02.160 --> 1:26:04.519 give him a B grade then, because I think he'll 1:26:04.560 --> 1:26:06.200 dink and dunk his way down the field on this 1:26:06.280 --> 1:26:10.160 Lions defense. If it's Willis, Willis gets a C grade, 1:26:10.160 --> 1:26:12.240 mostly because of his rushing ability. He was charged to 1:26:12.280 --> 1:26:14.160 take a chance on me guy, but he's a good 1:26:14.160 --> 1:26:17.799 helper in the run game. The wide receivers. If it's Willis, 1:26:17.840 --> 1:26:20.439 you bench them all. In the two games that Willis 1:26:20.439 --> 1:26:23.679 started and finished, only one wide receiver touchdown. Only one 1:26:23.680 --> 1:26:26.400 wide receiver got to four receptions, and no wide receiver 1:26:26.479 --> 1:26:29.759 top seventy yards. If it's love, I think Romeo Dubbs 1:26:29.840 --> 1:26:32.840 and Jayden Reid are both worth B starts. I'd even 1:26:32.840 --> 1:26:35.320 throw a C grade at Christian Watson. All three of 1:26:35.360 --> 1:26:38.840 the Lions starting corners opposing passer rating of either one 1:26:38.880 --> 1:26:42.200 oh three or one oh four. Finally, Tucker Kraft, who's 1:26:42.200 --> 1:26:44.280 emerged as a tight end savior this year. He's a 1:26:44.320 --> 1:26:48.800 C grade for both quarterbacks. Actually, he did catch Willis's 1:26:48.800 --> 1:26:51.320 only touchdown pass last week, but the Lions have been 1:26:51.360 --> 1:26:53.720 the best tight end defense in the league. No tight 1:26:53.800 --> 1:26:57.000 end is top fifty yards this season. Only aj Barner 1:26:57.040 --> 1:26:59.559 has scored. They haven't played a ton of great tight ends, 1:26:59.560 --> 1:27:02.160 but they held Trey McBride to twenty five yards and 1:27:02.240 --> 1:27:05.800 Jake Fergus into eleven yards. So it's it's tough just 1:27:05.840 --> 1:27:09.320 to C grade now. On the other side, there's a 1:27:09.360 --> 1:27:11.200 lot of A grades here. I bet there are at 1:27:12.680 --> 1:27:15.320 Jared Goff. I don't remember ever seeing a passing line 1:27:15.360 --> 1:27:17.640 of eighty five yards and three touchdowns, but that's what 1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:20.439 Goff did last week. By the way, in his last 1:27:20.439 --> 1:27:26.160 four games, ten touchdown passes, thirteen incompletions. That's nuts, that's insane. 1:27:26.600 --> 1:27:28.719 It should be in the MVP conversation where. 1:27:28.560 --> 1:27:30.680 He should be. I don't know how you can't give 1:27:30.760 --> 1:27:32.960 him an A grade. The fact that he's almost as 1:27:33.040 --> 1:27:36.360 likely to throw a touchdown as an incomplete pass from 1:27:36.400 --> 1:27:38.439 the slot A moon Ross Saint Brown is about to 1:27:38.479 --> 1:27:41.640 make some grilled cheese of Keyshawn Nixon. He's allowed a 1:27:41.680 --> 1:27:44.200 passer rating of one eleven in his coverage. Son god 1:27:44.240 --> 1:27:47.120 gets an A grade. Laporta scored in two of his 1:27:47.200 --> 1:27:49.760 last three weeks, but last week was his first really 1:27:49.760 --> 1:27:51.320 good game of the season. He caught all six of 1:27:51.360 --> 1:27:53.960 his targets for forty eight in a score. The Packers 1:27:54.000 --> 1:27:56.719 have allowed the fourth most receptions in fifth most yards 1:27:56.760 --> 1:27:59.360 to opposing tight ends this season, and they have not 1:27:59.360 --> 1:28:01.479 played good time tight ends. These are the tight ends 1:28:01.520 --> 1:28:04.000 with eight or more PPR Fantasy points against Green Bay 1:28:04.000 --> 1:28:09.280 this year. Nick Vennette, Josh Wiley, Josh Oliver, Colby, Parkinson, 1:28:09.439 --> 1:28:14.360 Trey McBride, Evan Ingram, Brenton Strange. Five of those guys 1:28:14.400 --> 1:28:17.000 you'd never start. Laport is an A grade and it's 1:28:17.040 --> 1:28:20.160 been ridiculously easy for the run game so far this year. 1:28:20.200 --> 1:28:25.760 I'm giving Jamier Gibbs the fantasy Ardvark he gets. Wait 1:28:26.120 --> 1:28:29.280 he or a fantasy FONSI too, Sure, well they both get. 1:28:29.360 --> 1:28:31.720 He gets an A grade. David Montgomery comes in with 1:28:31.800 --> 1:28:34.280 a B. Five different runners have hit one hundred combo 1:28:34.360 --> 1:28:36.880 yards against the Packers this year. They've allowed the seventh 1:28:36.880 --> 1:28:39.439 most receiving yards to the running back position too, so 1:28:39.520 --> 1:28:41.919 whoever they flex in is going to get good yardage. 1:28:42.240 --> 1:28:45.360 The Packers have been good against runners in the scoring department, though, 1:28:45.360 --> 1:28:48.280 only allowing six touchdowns to the position this year. But 1:28:48.400 --> 1:28:51.040 it doesn't feel like you can stop the Lions momentum 1:28:51.040 --> 1:28:53.439 of this offense right now, especially the running game. 1:28:54.640 --> 1:28:55.559 All right, do we. 1:28:55.560 --> 1:28:57.040 Need a sonic and knuckle sounder? 1:28:57.439 --> 1:28:57.599 Oh? 1:28:57.840 --> 1:28:58.760 What would it sound like? 1:28:58.840 --> 1:28:59.599 I don't know rings? 1:29:00.320 --> 1:29:02.479 I mean you can you know the dingding names hinging, 1:29:03.040 --> 1:29:03.639 you could do that. 1:29:03.680 --> 1:29:09.000 Maybe going good doing our second show together this year. 1:29:09.120 --> 1:29:11.920 Yeah, that's it's over for you too. 1:29:11.800 --> 1:29:12.559 Yeah, it's over. 1:29:12.600 --> 1:29:15.439 It's been sad.
