00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: here's your host, Paul Jarge.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Charchy, my co host today Scott Fish and

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show. Guys, we missed you.

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: It's good to be back. It's only about a couple

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: of weeks, but it's good to be back. I love

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: doing the show.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's nice to be here, and it's nice to

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 4: not have weird football this week, like a europe game.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: You're no kidding, no kidding on behalf of somebody who

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: has done pregame shows at five point thirty in the morning.

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: I am really glad that.

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: We do not have European football, but we've got it

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: coming down the pike, right. I think next week of

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: the week after, we've got a Euroball coming, so we'll

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: be back to talking about some of those early starts.

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: And maybe we need a European correspondent.

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 4: I know we have had a Spanish correspondent named Matteo

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 4: last year.

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: Yes, that didn't join us, so we we'll have to

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: track down Mateo.

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Uh, maybe Mateo's out on bail at

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: this stage, and you know, we'll see we'll see what

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: his availability looks like coming up later on this show.

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: We'll give you nine players upon whom you can take

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: a chance. We'll answer three tough questions. Premature speculation has

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: got one of the best names in football, and we'll

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: break down all the games. It's the bipocalypse, so we've

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: got a couple of fewer games to get to than usual.

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: But we start here with the Bills taking on the Panthers.

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: Scott On paper, this feels like a slam dunk, but

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: the Panthers secondary has been sneaky good.

36
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: Can we start with the Bills passing game?

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 5: Yeah?

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: I think we're still starting Josh Allen with a gray.

39
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: The Panthers d has has allowed three scores teach of

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: the last three QBS they faced before that Jets mass

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: mess last year or last week the yards of down.

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: But they're still allowing a bunch of scores, and of

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: course the Jets didn't do much against them last week,

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: So an a grade on Josh Allen. Khalil Shaki is

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: the only one I would consider starting, but I do

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: have a bench grade on him. He's the most consistent producer,

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: but he never explodes. It's like sixty four yards, forty

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: five yards, forty five yards, thirty three yards, sixty yards.

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: You know it's they never explode. And as you prefaced,

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: Carolina is the fifth stingiest to opposing Fantasy wide receivers,

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: allowing the seventh fewest receptions, sixth fewest receiving yards, and

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: just four scores to receivers. Obviously with the quarterbacks that

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 3: they allow him to other positions, but yes, the secondary

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: is holding down, So I have Shakir and Keon Coleman

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: on the bench. Now, Dalton kin Kana is questionable. He

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: is likely to go. He of course missed a game

57
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: then had the bye week. He's been practicing limited all week,

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: but he's supposed to return this week. He's got a

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: top five tight end matchup the Panthers, allowing the ninth

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: most receptions and fourth most yards. Two tight ends also

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: bottom ten in scores allowed, much like the QB for

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: the Panthers. Tight ends have scored in three straight versus

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: the Panthers prior to that Jets game. So a good

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: spot for Dalton Kincaid, who I have a C grade

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: on if he does not go, I might be willing

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: to give a C grade to Khalil Shakir, bump him

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: up on that, but otherwise C grade for Kincaid, bench

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: grades for Shakir and Coleman. I have an A grade

69
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: on James Cook three. Hasn't scored or even caught a

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: pass in the last two games, but he still saw

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: fifty Yeah, it's very unlike him. Still saw fifteen plus carries.

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: He shouldn't have trouble finding that volume.

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 6: Again.

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: The Panthers allow the seventh most receptions to Bax to Bax,

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: so that should come back. They've been have been stingy

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: since that Week one a rushing yard explosion from Travis Etn.

77
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: Only Bijon Robinson topped fifty yards against the Panthers since

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: Week one. But between the volume, the extra passwork, and

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: the fact that he scores in almost every game these

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: last two games quite nonomenally, and the game script of

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: the Bills being famered by more than a touchdown, I'm

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: still gonna give Cook an a over to the Carolina side.

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: I have Andy Dalton on the bench. The Bills top

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: five pass d ranking, top five in attempts completions, and

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: yards allowed to quarterbacks. They allow the fourth fewest explosive plays.

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: Dalton played four full games last year. He did have

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: multiple scores in three of them and two hundred and

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: twenty plus yards in three of those as well, but

89
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: they were much easier matchups than this one. Here in

90
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: his past game, I'm still giving Tetrooe mcmill in the

91
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: A grade. The last two lead receivers against the Bills

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 3: had ten plus catches in one hundred and forty plus yards.

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: They've been torched by lead receivers this year, lead receivers

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: averaging one hundred and nine point two yards and point

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: six touchdowns against the Against the Buffalo Bills, Tetro gets

96
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: that level of volume. He averages over to eight targets

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: of games. So uh A grade on Tedoro McMillan. I

98
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: got a SE grade on Exavier Legett had a huge

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: game last week while TEDAROA McMillan was being shadowed by

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: Sas Gardner. He scored twice in the last three three games,

101
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: and he's led the team in red zone targets in

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: the last three games. Andy Dalton came in and targeted

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: him three times for thirty nine yards on the final

104
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: drive and last year when Dalton and Lagett were together

105
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: for five full games. Lagett scored in three of those

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: five games with Andy Dalton. Okay, I'm throwing a C

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: grade on Xavier Legett got Jatavian Sanders on the bench.

108
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: Don't need to talk about him. But for the running backs,

109
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: C grades for both of them based on last week.

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: It is just a fifty to fifty splatch. It's Chuber

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: got more snaps than raw. Chuber got more targets and catches.

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: Rico got more touches, but all of those were within one,

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: two three of each other.

114
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 6: Like the it was.

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: You could not get more of a split. Jon Robinson

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: went for two thirty eight in a score against this

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: team week Algier also had thirty eight in a score.

118
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: Eight Chan had ninety one. Olie Gordon had thirty eight

119
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: in a score. Against the Bills, Kamara had seventy two.

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: His teammate Kendre Miller had sixty five in a score.

121
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: There are multiple examples this year of two backs being

122
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: able to do it against the Bills, and with a

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: complete split here, I think they can both find their

124
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: way to ST grades.

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: And probably only C grades and that's the yes, yea.

126
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: This frustrating Carolina backfield. Now it was it was great

127
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: for two weeks with Rico Daudo, and now we're looking

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: at guys that it might be a coin flip on

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: either one, potentially helping.

130
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 5: Us on four.

131
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: We have sixteams on by they get C grades, Yes,

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: they do get C grades. Here, Matt, the Giants take

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: on the Eagles, And for Jackson dark what I find

134
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: fascinating about this matchup. This is the first time that

135
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: he will play an opponent for the second time.

136
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: And so the.

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Eagles come in, They've already seen him once, right, They've

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: got film on him, They've got first hand knowledge of

139
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: how he works. And I wonder if if the Eagles

140
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: aren't able to shut down Jackson Dart in a way

141
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: that others have not to this point, let's hear what

142
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you have to say.

143
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: I don't know how you shut him down. He just

144
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: keeps putting up fantasy points. I'm giving him a B

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: grade if you combine rushing and passing scores. He's had

146
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: multiple touchdowns and all four of his starts he ran

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: for a touchdown. In three games, he's top fifty rushing

148
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: yards and three of his four. That includes the game

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: against the Eagles two weeks ago, which I'm going to

150
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: reference a few times in this matchup. He ran for

151
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: fifty eight yards in a score in that one and

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: added one to ninety five and one through the air.

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: So B grade for Dart. Wandale Robinson is Dart's go

154
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: to guy. Target totals of seven to seven and twelve

155
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: in the last three weeks, six catches eighty four and

156
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: a score in the Week six meeting with the Eagles,

157
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: six for ninety five last week against Denver, which is

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: actually really impressive. This has allowed these sixth most wide

159
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: receiver receptions and the fourth most yards to the position,

160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: and Wandale was one of only four wide receivers to

161
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: score a touchdown against them this year. So should be

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: a high vardage total and I think Wandale can do it.

163
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: Worth noting Darius Slayton has been limited all week with

164
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury. I got a B grade on Wandale.

165
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: Theo Johnson scored last week, but only caught three of

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: his seven targets.

167
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: I think I'd leave him on the bench this week.

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: Is Philly's defense versus the tight end has been stellar

169
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: all year, only Evan Ingram scored a touchdown on the

170
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: Eagles and only Travis Kelcey has topped forty four yards

171
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: against them, So that's pretty tough. Cam Scatibo is and

172
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: the running game is what I'll reference next here. He's

173
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: the running back everybody wants to play, and I'm still

174
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: gonna give him a B start in this one, mostly

175
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: off of his one hundred and ten combo yards and

176
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: three scores against the Eagles two weeks ago. However, Tyrone

177
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: Tracy's health meter continues to grow, and in his first

178
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 4: game back in Week six against Philly, he only saw

179
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: four touches. Last week he had nine carries, forty six

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: yards and a touchdown, and Scatabo saw a slight decrease

181
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 4: in touches last week, and I think this still turns

182
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: into more of a time split than people want, so

183
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 4: Tyrone Tracy's kind of a bonus take a chance on

184
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: me style runner with a C grade. The Eagles have

185
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: allowed the eighth most combo yards and the fourth most

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 4: touchdowns to the running back position, so I think Scatabo

187
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: is in play over on the Eagles side. Jalen Hurts

188
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: he finds a way to do it every week. He's

189
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: still in A grade. DeVonta Smith had a career day

190
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: against the Vikings last week eleven targets, nine catches, one

191
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty three yards, and a score, and AJ

192
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: Brown has already been ruled out for this game. So

193
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: the problem with the Eagles receivers has been it's just

194
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 4: been a roller coaster of consistency for them prior to

195
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: last week. Between AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, each had

196
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: only scored one time prior to last week, and each

197
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: had only topped eighty yards once on the season.

198
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: And the Giants have been.

199
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: Horrible against wide receivers the most yards and second most

200
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: receptions allowed. And maybe this is closer to an A

201
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 4: grade for Smith because he's the only big time wide

202
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: receiver they have, and he'll be a little bit more

203
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 4: of a focal point, but I'm just gonna give him

204
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: a bee because of the inconsistent nat of the Eagles

205
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: pass game. Dallas Goddard gets an A grade though week six,

206
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: he went bananas against New York nine catches, one hundred

207
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: and ten yards in a score. He's already tied a

208
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: career high with five touchdown receptions in a season and

209
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: He's tied for fifth in the NFL and touchdown receptions

210
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: this year, not just tight ends all the positions, so

211
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: Dallas Goddard is up there. But the toughest call this week,

212
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: and I saved him for last, that's Saquon Barkley. It's

213
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: a half decent matchup for him. But something's not right

214
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: with Saquon. And maybe it's that Derrick Henry thing where

215
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: both of them had over three hundred and fifty touches

216
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: last year and both of them are just dead tired

217
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: right now. Saquon's only averaging three point three yards per carry.

218
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 4: He's scored only four times in seven games. He's been

219
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: kept to sixty or fewer rushing yards in six of

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: his seven games this season. Last year, he was kept

221
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: to sixty or fewer rushing yards in Week six and

222
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. That's so the Giants defense allowing five

223
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 4: point three yards per carry, but they held Saquon to

224
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 4: sixty seven conbo yards on fourteen touches in the prior meeting.

225
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna roll out a B grade for Saquon

226
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: because the matchup is good. It's the Giants revenge game,

227
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: and no one's seriously benching him in a six team

228
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: by week.

229
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley's one of the big mysteries.

230
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: If you'd told me he was going to play all

231
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: these games healthy and that there's no reason for him

232
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: to have a massive drop off. He's at fifty percent

233
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: of his fantasy points from last year, you wouldn't know

234
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: what was coming. It's been remarkable Brown's taken on the Pats.

235
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: I want to start with quinch On Judkins, who was

236
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: great last week, as predicted in a bad weather game.

237
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: We knew he's going to get the ball a lot.

238
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: This is a tricky matchup against the Patriots, and I

239
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: know we don't think of the Patriots as a great defense.

240
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Their run defense has been really good. Here's some data

241
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: behind it. They're seeing the fourth fewest rushing plays. They're

242
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to runners. They've got

243
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: the fifth best run defense EPA and the third best

244
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: yards before contact. No runners topped forty nine yards against

245
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots for almost a mid season. We're talking about

246
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: no runner topping forty nine yards against New England Patriots

247
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: seven point favorites. If you think this is going to

248
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: be a one sided game, there is real downside for

249
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Judkins if the game script tilts away from the running

250
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: game in parks. He doesn't catch zero or one catches

251
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,119
Speaker 1: in every game, but won this year for winch on Judkins.

252
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, the Browns fell behind early to Pittsburgh

253
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: and Judkins had a scoreless thirty six yard game.

254
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: That's your downside here.

255
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: Still a B grade for Judkins, but he is not

256
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: the slam dunk play that he was last week. Moving

257
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: over to the passing game for the Browns, I want

258
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: to start with Harold Fanning. Last week with David an

259
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: jok who out he was great and he's posted career

260
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: highs and routes, run and target share. This week, we

261
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: think Jokho's gonna come back from his knee injury. The

262
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Patriots have allowed big games to pretty much every team

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: that's focused on their tight ends. Tight Ends with five

264
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: or more targets are averaging a very healthy seventy two

265
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: yards against the Patriots. But the question is if in

266
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: joke who's back, does Fanning get that kind of usage. Again,

267
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: it's averaging six targets a game, so maybe he does.

268
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Assuming in Djoku plays C grade on Harold Fannin and

269
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: for in Djoku because he does come in with the

270
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: knee injury. Even if he plays, I'd prefer to go

271
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: another way, just you know, you don't have to play

272
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: him here against a middle of the pack tight end defense.

273
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: We'll keep him on the bench.

274
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jerry Judy, one of the biggest disappointments

275
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: of this season. Last week's bad weather game was a

276
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: contributing factor to a bad season. But Judy is the

277
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: clear go to wide receiver on this team, and the

278
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Browns have simply got to start manufacturing a downfield passing

279
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: attack of some kind. The Patriots secondary has been a

280
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: lot better since Christian Gonzalez returned from as the cornerback

281
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: in Week four. He has yet to allow a score.

282
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Judy runs from all parts of the field. He can

283
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: get easier coverage on the side of the field of

284
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Gonzalz does not play, but he's been so bad I

285
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: still I think they got to get the ball to

286
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: him some. So I've got a C grade on Jerry

287
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: Judy in a bye week. I don't like him though,

288
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: and Dylan Gabriel not even considering playing here. He brings

289
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: the league's shortest dight out. It's just five yards per pass.

290
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: He gets a bench grade even in a sixteen bye week.

291
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Patriots side. Let's start with

292
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Romandre Stevenson, who's getting all the work. Patriots offensive line

293
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: still struggling. Romandre tends to do as well as his

294
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: offensive line allows. And against the brown that's gonna be Browns,

295
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be very very little. Almost every metric has

296
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: the Browns as the league's best run defense. They're number

297
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: one in ESPN's run stuff win rate, they're number one

298
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: in PFF's run defense rankings. They're number one in fantasy

299
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: points allowed to running backs. I can only go see

300
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: grade on Stevenson. We're hoping for some short yardage touchdown

301
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: love for Stevenson, which seems likely. Going over to Trevon

302
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: Henderson coming off season lows in everything last week, really

303
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: bad news. You know, not to start Traveon Henderson. The

304
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: tougher question is do you drop him? Stay tuned for that.

305
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the passing game. Drake May Because

306
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: of the Browns great run defense, the way you beat

307
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland is through the air. Only Ta last week in

308
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: the rain has failed to score against the Browns. Whether

309
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: it's passing or rushing, May always finds his way to

310
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: a great game. The Browns pass rush remains very, very good,

311
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and there is a scenario where Miles Garrett and Malie

312
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Collins simply overwhelmed the Patriots offensive line and put Drake

313
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: d on a bad game. And that's why I'm putting

314
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: him down to a B grade here. But most likely

315
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: Drake May is gonna be fine in this game, like

316
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: he has all the rest this year. Stefan Diggs is

317
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: still looking for his first touchdown of the year. Fortunately,

318
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: his usage just climbed a lot over the last month.

319
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just him coming off that acl and

320
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: getting more confident. Dig helps from every position. The Browns

321
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are just league average guy. They do have that

322
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: excellent pass rush, though, and that might mean fewer downfield

323
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: passes for Stefan Diggs as Drake May has to get

324
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quickly.

325
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: Just a se grade on him. Kaishan Booty hit, He's

326
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: just a dart throw here.

327
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: It's a league average secondari as I mentioned, But Booty

328
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: still leads Stefan Diggs and the whole team in snaps

329
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: and routes run in every game. But one he's gonna

330
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: He's getting a decent amount of action on the field.

331
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: He just isn't getting targeted very much.

332
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: Just a se grade on Kaishan Booty and honestly, I

333
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: hope you don't have.

334
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: To use him here.

335
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: His usage is frustratingly low. He's really just touchdown dependent

336
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: at this stage. And when he doesn't score, Hunter Henry

337
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: is tight end twenty nine. That is a whin elle.

338
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Almost every week starting on tight end twenty nine. Weirdly,

339
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: the Browns have allowed four tight end touchdowns, all of

340
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: them to backup tight ends, which is weird and maybe

341
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: bad for Hunter Henry. Maybe it's Austin Hooper time here,

342
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: but that seems unlikely to UH to play itself out

343
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: for very very long. When we come back to Fantasy

344
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, take a chance on me.

345
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: It's a six team five apocalypse. You need some players

346
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: to pick up off the waiver wire.

347
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: We are here to help. Take a chance on me.

348
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Comes back after this.

349
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 7: And take a chance, make a chance on me.

350
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Not players would not only start in this my apocalypse.

351
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: You need find some guys off the waiver wire. We

352
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: are here to help. Let's begin at the quarterback position

353
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish. Who is you take a chance on

354
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: me quarterback this week?

355
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

356
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: I'm going with Michael PENNOCKX, junior quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons.

357
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 6: This week.

358
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: He's at home versus a Dolphins team that is seemingly

359
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: giving up on the season and really everything. They've allowed

360
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: multiple scores to six of the seven quarterbacks they've faced,

361
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: with only Dylan Gabriel failing to do that as he

362
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: threw the ball just eighteen times in a complete blowout

363
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: where Judkins was doing all the scoring. Pennix at home

364
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: are pedicks on the road. In three games on the road,

365
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: averages one hundred and eighty two yards and he only

366
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: has one passing score. At home, where he'll be playing

367
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: this week, he averages two hundred and eighty seven yards,

368
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: and he has four passing scores and one rushing score,

369
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: so he averages over one hundred yards more at home.

370
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: If Kirk Cousins needs to be the starting quarterback, would

371
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: you plug Kirk Cousins in as an emergency starter?

372
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 6: I will I would.

373
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: I was gonna mention it next segment. But if Pennix

374
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: somehow doesn't go, Pennick says he expects to fully go

375
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: but if he doesn't, Kirk Cousins will still be in

376
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: command of that offense with that same matchup.

377
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: See, I don't think they need Pennix for this one.

378
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: I think Kirky. I think there's a better chance that

379
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: Kirk starts than other people are saying.

380
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 6: And Kirk think it for free. Everyone.

381
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: You can get him for free off the way for

382
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: a wire right now, Matt, you take a chance on me.

383
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: Quarterback?

384
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 4: Is Joe Flacco forty seven pass attempts last week? Forty

385
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: five the week before, the Bengals are like, the season's

386
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 4: not going well, We're just going to pass our way

387
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: out of this. So this week it's the Jets. They've

388
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 4: actually been better against the pass recently, but it's still

389
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 4: the same team that gave up four touchdown passes to

390
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: another forty year old quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. They also gave

391
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 4: up four touchdown passes to Dak Prescott this year. Those

392
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: guys like to pass the ball too, and so does

393
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco.

394
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: I take a chance with me, quarterback. Honestly, I think

395
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: I like a lot less than yours.

396
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 2: But that's okay, okay.

397
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: I like whichever Jets starter is going to be the

398
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Tyrod Taylor, Justin Field.

399
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Field. I don't know. Aaron

400
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: Glenn is keeping it a secret.

401
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: Oh you, you can't let the Bengals prepare for that.

402
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, we never root for injury on the show.

403
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: But the best case scenario is that Tyrod Taylor gets

404
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: ruled out with his knee injury, because then Fields can't

405
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: get benched. If that happens, Justin Fields becomes a plausible starter.

406
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: Remember in Fields his four full games, He's been a

407
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: top seven fantasy quarterback in three of those four games,

408
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: and the Bengals have allowed the most passing touchdowns in

409
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: the fourth most passing yard So even Justin Fields could

410
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: get it done. In a contrarian angle, let's go to

411
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: the running back position, Scott Fish, you're take a chance.

412
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: On me runner?

413
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: Apparently I like players who have been slightly limited in

414
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: practice this week, I might.

415
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 6: Take a chance on me.

416
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: Runner is Tyler Alder, who popped up with a slight injury,

417
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: also expected to play, But we'll have other options for you.

418
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 3: If the Dolphins have allowed a league most ten runs

419
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: over twenty plus yards and a league most four runs

420
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: over forty plus yards, Rico Dado, Kamani Vadal Quinchhawn Judkins

421
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: all just destroyed Miami. Atlanta is eight point favorite, so

422
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: it might be a lot of Algier late if he's

423
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: good to go and playing.

424
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: All right, we have.

425
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Algier's done nothing this year, but this is his best

426
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: opportunity of the season.

427
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: Matt, you'll take a chance on me runner.

428
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: Well I mentioned that the Bengals are going to try

429
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: to pass their way out of things. On the other

430
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: side of the ball, the Jets are going to try

431
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: to run their way out of things because the Bengals

432
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 4: are the worst run defense in football and it's not close.

433
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 4: Breis Hall's dinged up. The bye week is coming. They're

434
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 4: seasons in disarray. The quarterback situation is awful. They're going

435
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: to try to win by running it. And it's Isaiah

436
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: Davis who's might take a chance on me runner. He

437
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: had forty eight percent of the running back snaps for

438
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: the Jets last week. The Bengals are bottom ten in

439
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: every stat category against the run, but I'll highlight that

440
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: they're allowing thirty running back touches per game, most in

441
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: the league, one hundred and sixty seven combo yards per game,

442
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: second most in the league, and they've allowed ten running

443
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: back touchdowns this year. That's also second most in the league.

444
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 4: So you can fire up by Isaiah Davis this week.

445
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: Wow, that is some deep stuff right there. I don't

446
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: know if you. I don't know how many Jets you

447
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: want to add, but I've given a jet, You've given

448
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: a Jetwo.

449
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why we're back in the Jets right now,

450
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: but we are. You want to give one more, don't you?

451
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 5: I do.

452
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: It might just happen in a minute, but not right here.

453
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: Might take a chance to be running back. Is Chicago

454
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Bear running back Kyle Maung Guy fifteen touches last week

455
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: in a thirty nine percent rush share that outpaces anything

456
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: we've seen from a young guy until a prior to now.

457
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: He looks like David Montgomery in a Ben Johnson offense.

458
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Manan Guy looks good, and with DeAndre Swift nursing a

459
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: groin injury, Manan Guy's going to continue to see the

460
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: meaningful usage that we saw last week, and if Swift

461
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: gets ruled out entirely, Manan Guy shoots into like top

462
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: ten running back territory for this matchup. The Ravens run

463
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: defense has been awful, giving up the second most fantasy

464
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: points to opposing runners, and the Ravens ongoing loss of

465
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Namdi Madebike suggests that is not going to

466
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: change for the Ravens. Kylemanungai might take a chance on

467
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: me running. All right, Let's go to the receivers on

468
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: the slate, beginning with Scott Fish.

469
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: Who you got?

470
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: I am going with Jalen Noel, a slot receiver for

471
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: the wide for the Houston Texans. Last week, Noel was

472
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: the main beneficiary of Nico Collins going out and Christian

473
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: Kirk being heard. He takes the place of Christian Kirk

474
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: in the slot. Went four for seventy seven on seven

475
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: targets last week. Four of his seven targets came after

476
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: the Nico injury, catching two of them for forty three yards,

477
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: and three of those four targets were twenty plus yard

478
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: deep targets. The forty nine ers are middle of the

479
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: pack against wide receivers. They've allowed fifteen different wide receivers

480
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: over forty plus yards. They allow them to spread it around,

481
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: and he'll be going up against fellow rookie up in

482
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: Stout ranked one hundred and eight among cornerbacks PFF with

483
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: an abysmal thirty nine point one coverage grade. Who's dealing

484
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: with an ankle injury, so back pedaling and cutting trying

485
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 3: to keep up with speedy Noel might be a problem.

486
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: Jalen Noel, Take a chance on me, wide receiver.

487
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: That's probably our deepest group of take a chance with

488
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: me players all year. All right, man, your take a

489
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: chance on yeah. Oh, that'll do it. Matt your take

490
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: a chance on me player.

491
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: I've got Troy Franklin, and I'm gonna plant my flag here.

492
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: He will score a touchdown in this game. He had

493
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: ten targets last week. He only caught three of them,

494
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: but he scored in last week's game. Four of those

495
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 4: targets were in the red zone, and in fact, Troy

496
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 4: Franklin leads all Denver wide receivers with ten red zone

497
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 4: targets this year. He's averaging almost seven regular targets per game.

498
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: And it's Dallas this week. They've allowed the most touchdowns

499
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: to the wide receiver position in the league this year,

500
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: twelve so far. Troy Franklin's gonna score one, maybe two.

501
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: Courland Sutton should be the big body to Courtland Sutton

502
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: he should be the end zone, red zone guy that

503
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: they target more often.

504
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that. I like him here too.

505
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm going to give you a tight end to

506
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: use in the bipocalypse. Also unfortunately questionable the quad injury.

507
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: But Mason Taylor of the Jets. And yet we have

508
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: three Jets in this and unfortunately on the Jets. Yes,

509
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: if we could change that, we would. But here's the thing.

510
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: The Bengals are the opponents of the worst tight end

511
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: defense by a mile. They rank thirty first in tight

512
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: end receptions. They rank thirty second in tight end yards allowed,

513
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: thirty second in tight end touchdowns allowed. They've already given

514
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: up nine tight end touchdowns on the season. That's crazy

515
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: nine times nine times some years. Garrett Wilson not expected

516
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: to play, Josh Reynolds is hurt.

517
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 2: There's just nobody left to.

518
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Catch a pass except Mason Taylor, assuming the quad injury

519
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: lets him play. All right, let's get back to our matchups.

520
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins take making on the Falcons. Dolphins look like they've

521
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: packed it in. In my mind, Scott, there's only one

522
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Dolphin I feel good about starting, and that's Debonni Right, you're.

523
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 3: Probably right on that I have a bench grade on

524
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: to a tongue of ioloa against the Falcons pass defense

525
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: allowing the second fewest completions, second fewest attempts, second fewest

526
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 3: passing scores, the fewest yards, and the second fewest passing

527
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: points are fantasy points to quarterbacks like the passing game

528
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: should should all be on the bench. But I do

529
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: have c grades on Jalen Wattle and Malik Washington. Somehow,

530
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: the Falcons don't allow many explosive plays. They allow the

531
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: fewest yards after the catch. Where does it come from? Well, well,

532
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: they've allowed a couple big games to the lead receiver,

533
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: which Jalen Wattle will be, and Jalen Wattle gets the

534
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: target volume that has made Hay on the Falcons. Malik

535
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Washington set a season high in last week in Cleveland

536
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: and snaps targets, catches, yards, everything. Notably though he was

537
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: only five for thirty thirty total yards with Hill and

538
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: now Waller on ir and the Falcons will be without

539
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: their slot corner Billy Bowman, who's missed the past two games.

540
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: And also the Falcons allow the second most, oh actually

541
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: the second most fantasy points to this lot. It might

542
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: be an okay spot for Malik Washington, so I have

543
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 3: sea grades there. Devin h Chan, I have an A

544
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: grade on season one snaps last week, but still sixteen

545
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: touches for ninety eight yards. Dolphins are missing two of

546
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: their front seven on defense. Devin h Chan has ninety

547
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: plus yards and or a score in every single game

548
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: this year. Double digit fantasy points in every single game

549
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 3: this year for BPR. Even though the Falcons are top

550
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: six in almost every category, the offense kind of has

551
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: to run through him. He still fifteen to twenty touches.

552
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: A grade on Devin eight Chan over to the Atlanta

553
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: Falcon side Michael Pennix or potentially Kirk Cousins. I guess

554
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: is might take a chance on me. Quarterback Bjeon Robinson

555
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: is an automatic A grade. Every lead back has ninety

556
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: eight or more yards against this Miami Dolphins team and

557
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: they average one hundred and thirty two yards then the

558
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: lead backs to so it could be a big game there.

559
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: Tyler al Jeer, he's might take a chance on my

560
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 3: player in he had ten plus touches and a score

561
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: in three of the four games prior to last week.

562
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: The game he didn't play the game, he came out

563
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: of Nathan Carter came in and was trusted to the

564
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: tune of seven carries for forty six yards in that

565
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: mop up duty. So if Algier doesn't go, he might

566
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: be worth it, but only if Algier doesn't go. B

567
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: grade on Drake London. He had a forty two percent

568
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: target share in games without Darnell Mooney. With Mooney, it

569
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: dropped to twenty two percent. He was having assive games

570
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 3: without Moody and it's pulled back. He's likely gonna get

571
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: shadowed treatment from Razul Douglas. Razull Douglas did hold Garrett

572
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: Wilson and Ted McMillan under twenty five yards in there

573
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: on his coverage, but they slipped away from him and

574
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 3: both had six plus catches and seventy plus yards. We

575
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: can hope for that for Drake London. So I got

576
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: a B grade there. I'm keeping Darnell Mooney on the bench,

577
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: who has been injured all week. They've been managing that

578
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: soft tissue hamstring injury and is in his four healthy games,

579
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: he hasn't topped ten PPR points in he's only top

580
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: He hasn't top ten PPR points at all, and he

581
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: has just one game with more than four five targets.

582
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts Senior is getting a B grade here. Pitts

583
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: is coming off ten targets seven for sixty two game

584
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: day that Brian and Brian Johnson is probably being about

585
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: that somewhere he has. He's been averaging six targets and

586
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: about fifty yards per game. And he gets a Dolphins

587
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: defense allowing the eighth most receptions and fifth most yards

588
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: to tight ends. All four tight ends with five plus

589
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: targets against the Dolphins, all four of them went for

590
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: sixty plus yards. And that's what Pitts is getting.

591
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: It has turned to in his fifth year, Kyle Pitts

592
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: is finally turning into a semi reliable fantasy.

593
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: Asset at the tight end position.

594
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, Baker Mayfield coming off his worst

595
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: game of the year by a mile, is a bounce

596
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: back coming find out when we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly.

597
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Churchi and Scott Fish

598
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you.

599
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: We've got a block of man here.

600
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: Three different games to break down FFW style, beginning with

601
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks taking on the Saints. Matt Rashad White has

602
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: been a pretty solid fill in for Bucky Irving, and

603
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: he's going to need to start this one as well.

604
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bucky Irving's still out this week. I got an

605
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: A grade on Rashad White at least fourteen touches in

606
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: each of the last three weeks. Out snapped Sean Tucker

607
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: sixty two to seven last week, and the Saints are

608
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: allowing one hundred and thirty two combo yards per game

609
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 4: that almost all goes to White in this case. Baker

610
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: Mayfield still in a grade as well, even with all

611
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: the injuries to his receivers. Even without all those receivers,

612
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: last week, he threw the ball fifty times, and he's

613
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: throwing multiple touchdown passes in five of seven.

614
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: The matchup is good too.

615
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 4: The Saints are allowing multiple touchdown passes to every quarterback

616
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: they've faced, except for Caleb Williams, who they played last week.

617
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: The injuries are something though, Mike Evans on IR he's

618
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: droppable in any redraft format with no IR spots, Chris

619
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: Godwin not going to play in Week eight, and Ameca

620
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 4: Agbuka been limited all week with a hamstring injury. He

621
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 4: was able to gut it out last week. And he's

622
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 4: gonna go this week too. I'm gonna give him a

623
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 4: B grade after seeing twelve targets. He hasn't actually missed

624
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 4: a game yet this season, but the last two weeks

625
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: were definitely down weeks with his injury. The Saints haven't

626
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 4: yet allowed one hundred yard game to a wide receiver

627
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: this season. But the game script actually might not be

628
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: an Egbuka's favor to receive twelve targets again, but the

629
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: Saints and Bucks games are always weird and never normal,

630
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: so this could be one of those eighty point shootout

631
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: games for no reason. Ted Johnson worthy of a C grade,

632
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: and so is Sterling Sharp in PPR only, though Tes

633
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: has scored in two straight and had nine targets last

634
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: week in Detroit. Shepard caught all seven of his targets

635
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: last week, but for a really low yardage total of

636
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: twenty five yards. These are Florida grades, though just barely

637
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 4: a C level. It get it here we go, cade Atten,

638
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: he's startable too. This is from Fantasy Football Almost Dailies.

639
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: Trevor Jones, and I urge you to, you know, listen

640
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: and subscribe to that show. It's got me on it.

641
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 4: It's got fishing its great Yeah. Last week without Evans

642
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 4: and Godwin, Aughten led the team in catches and receiving yards.

643
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 4: And in twenty twenty four there was a three game

644
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: stretch where Mike Evans got hurt in the first half

645
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 4: of one game. And this is how that three game

646
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 4: stretch went with no Godwin or Evans, eight for one

647
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: hundred and one, nine for eighty one and two eight

648
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: for seventy seven to one. Jetton is focused on when

649
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 4: there's a lot of injuries, and he was last week too.

650
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about the Saints running backs. Charge,

651
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: can't use Kendre Miller as has take a.

652
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: Chance on me anymore. There's a beetlejuice rule.

653
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: If you use a running back as to take a

654
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 4: chance on make me player three times in a row,

655
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: he'll tear his a one.

656
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: So it's the beetlejuice rule. Charge, you can't do it.

657
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Camara and Devin Neil has topped fifty rushing yards

658
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: once in his last five games and hasn't scored since

659
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 4: Week one, and the Bucks allowed the third fewest rushing

660
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: yards to opposing backs.

661
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Kamara also nursing an angle injury.

662
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: He's on the bench, so is Devin wow Chris Olave

663
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: startable with a B grade in this one. He's had

664
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 4: double digit PPR points in every game this year, ninety

665
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: eight yards in both of the last two weeks, and

666
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 4: he scored twice against the Bears last week as well.

667
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: He's averaging ten targets per game, and players who've seen

668
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: at least ten targets against the Bucks this year have

669
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: averaged nineteen point five PPR points, so Olave in a

670
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 4: pretty good spot here. Rashid Shaheed has had exactly four

671
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: receptions and six straight games, but with wildly varying results.

672
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 4: Fifty two or fewer yards in five of those games,

673
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: and then he went over one hundred and scored in

674
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 4: the other one, so he's touchdown dependent. But the Bucks

675
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 4: have only allowed five touchdown receptions to wide receivers this year.

676
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: The lowest possible C grade for Shahid. Juwan Johnson had

677
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: five for seventy nine last week, but he hasn't scored

678
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 4: since Week two, and he has had more than four

679
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: targets only once in his last four games. I'm gonna

680
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: leave him on the bench as Jack Stole and Foster

681
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 4: Moreau and Taysom Hill are eating into his snaps now,

682
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 4: and he was also practicing with an no on contact

683
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 4: jersey this week, So he's on the bench. Spencer Rattler's

684
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 4: on your bench too, only in a super flex league

685
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: where you're in the bipocalypse?

686
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: Can you start him?

687
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: Two hundred and thirty three yards is his top performance

688
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: this year, and he's only thrown for multiple scores twice

689
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 4: through seven games.

690
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler had played pretty decent ball and then last

691
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: week just disaster. Great stuff from Spencer Ratler, maybe a

692
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: bounce back here, but not good enough to start Agreed Bears.

693
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: Taking on the Ravens Roma Dunze feels like a slam

694
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: dunk here against the defense that's allowed these second most

695
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver points. But the Ravens secondary is entirely healthy

696
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: for the first time all year, and it's going to

697
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: be better now than it was before. The Dunday remains

698
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: the most bad think of the Chicago receivers by mile.

699
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: He's fallen below a twenty percent target rate just once

700
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: all year. Top ten and end zone looks B grade

701
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: for Roma Dunes eight. The other side of that is

702
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, with an ultra disappointing season, just one touchdown,

703
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: and DJ Moore hasn't topped forty six yards since Week one.

704
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: He's a utility player, can run from anywhere on the

705
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: field and exploits the best matchup available. But the Ravens

706
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: secondary again back to full health, so there might not

707
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: be a dominating matchup four more in this one. He's

708
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: had exactly five targets in every game, but one and

709
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: five targets isn't enough to fill a box score C

710
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: grade for DJ Moore.

711
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Staying with a passing game, Cole Comet ruled out.

712
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: Maybe this is Colston Loveland's first meaningful fantasy game left.

713
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I think it might be with Commeet left. Last week's game.

714
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Early Loveland saw career highs in snaps and targets. Pretty

715
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: Much every opposing team's wide tight end room has posted

716
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: good games against Baltimore, including Tyler Higbee in the most

717
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: Ravens game. C grade for Colston Loveland, I think he

718
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: kind of hits the map here with a decent showing.

719
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: Let's go to.

720
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, who remains very much a work in process here.

721
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Some baffling miscues, some great plays. I've got BC and

722
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: C grades for his receivers. Ravens look bad on paper,

723
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: but again and keeps saying this, their whole secondary coming

724
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: back healthy, They're gonna be better than they were. Williams

725
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: probably doesn't scramble from any fantasy points, which he can do,

726
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think he does here. The Ravens were

727
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: only giving up thirteen quarterback rushing yards per game, and

728
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: again they're healthier now.

729
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: So just the C grade. I'm Caleb Williams, and that

730
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 2: brings us to the running game.

731
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: Kyle mcnunguy was going to take a chance on me

732
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: running for DeAndre Swift, and he, by the way, C

733
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: grade on him. DeAndre Swift has got this groin injury

734
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: that I mentioned earlier, but he's looked great the past

735
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and the Bears offensive line is opening

736
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: massive holes for DeAndre Swift. As I discussed in the

737
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: Kyle mcnunguy take a Chance I meet, the Ravens run

738
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: defense has been awful at full strength. If DeAndre Swift

739
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: was fully healthy, I'd give him an A grade, but

740
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: factoring in the groin injury and knowing how easily those

741
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: can aggravate, we dropped DeAndre Swift to a B grade

742
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: in this matchup over to the Ravens side. Just a

743
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: couple of guys. We're talking about Derrick Henry. The Bears

744
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: run defense has looked much better lately since coming out

745
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: of their Week five by. They've Stammied Stemied, Jacorey krossky Merritt,

746
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: and Alvin Kamara and back to back weeks. But Derek

747
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: Henry is way better than those guys, and before last

748
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: week's by, Henry saw a massive workload and ran at

749
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: five yards per carry. I'd like to think we're getting

750
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: the old Derrick Henry back. The Ravens always want to

751
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: get him going. I think he's gonna get plenty of

752
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: carries here, but they do tend to forget about Henry

753
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: for stretches if they fall behind. I don't think that's

754
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen. B grade on Derrick Henry in this one.

755
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: The passing game's fascinating, obviously. Lamar Jackson is an A grade.

756
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: But this is an especially good opportunity because the Bears

757
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: are going to be missing all three starting cornerbacks. Kyler

758
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: Murray sorry, Kyler Gordon, Tyreek Stevenson and Jalen Johnson all

759
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: ruled out of this game. Zave Flowers goes all the

760
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: way up to an A grade. Chicago's allowed four wide

761
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: receiver scores in their last two games. Flowers was basically

762
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: unusable during the Cooper Rush era, but this is a

763
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: great opportunity for him.

764
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 2: Rashad Bateman even hits the mark.

765
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: If you're going to try to find that one time

766
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: a month Rashad Bateman game, this looks like it. With

767
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: all three of the Bear's cornerbacks out. Chicago ranks thirtieth

768
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: in deep ball completion percentage allowed and they've allowed the

769
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: second most deep ball touchdowns. And that's what Rashad Bateman's

770
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: game is all about. Our deep balls. He comes in

771
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: with a C grade. And then lastly, Mark Andrews has

772
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: been worse than you think. He's had only one game

773
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: with over thirty yards, and if you take away his

774
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: two touchdown game, Andrews is averaging out as tight end

775
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight. There's only thirty two NFL teams, so that

776
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: means on average, Andrews performing as badly as sixteen backup

777
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: tight ends. And even in the Lamar Jackson games he

778
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: wasn't doing very well. Only two tight ends of top

779
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: forty six yards against the Bears. Mark Andrews is on

780
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: the bench. All right, let's go over to our final

781
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: matchup of this segment, Scott. It's the Titans taking on

782
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: the Colts. Oh, this Titan offense just looking breadful.

783
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 3: As far as Kem Ward's concerned. He's had three games

784
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: in the mid two fifties for yards, but just four

785
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: passing scores all year. It's a friendly matchup, but Ward

786
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: couldn't even find garbage time stats in blowouts in other games.

787
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: Why should he get them here if he's not done

788
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 3: it yet.

789
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 2: Elk io'manor.

790
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 3: As much as we all like him on this show,

791
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: and he continues to be the target leader, he hasn't

792
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: top thirty yards in three weeks and we thought last

793
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 3: week was gonna be the week at least Thordan with

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: to take a chance on me, so I have him

795
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: on the bench. Tamire Dkay is an interesting Darth throw.

796
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: I have a bench grade on him. But the Colts

797
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 3: have been susceptible to big pass plays, allowing twenty four

798
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: pass plays of twenty plus yards, tied for fourth most.

799
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: The Colts allow the most receptions, second most yards, and

800
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: seventh most scores to wide receivers. Because teams have been

801
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 3: playing catch up to the Colts. So if you really

802
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: need a deep dart throw, Chamira dk might be worthy.

803
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 6: This week.

804
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 3: I didn't give him the starting grade, but Darth throw

805
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 3: there gunner Helm, I'm given a C grade too. A

806
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: few weeks ago I mentioned on the show how the

807
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: coaching staff was trying to get him more involved. When

808
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: I said you needed a bench Chicka Konku because they

809
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 3: were trying to ramp this guy up. They actually did.

810
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: They've ramped him up over the last three weeks. And

811
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 3: the Colts defense just allowed one hundred and sixty four

812
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: in a score to Gadston, one hundred and six and

813
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: escore to mcbradon Higgins and they're the fourth best matchup

814
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: for opposing tight ends. I have Tony Pollard and Spears

815
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: on the bench. They have taken Pollard's sixteen to twenty

816
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 3: touches and basically split them in their flip flopping.

817
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 6: If you do have to choose.

818
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: One, well, by the way, the Colts. The only players

819
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: they have done well against the Colts gotten up to

820
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: fifty five yards had thirteen plus touches. Neither are getting this.

821
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 3: If you have to choose one, though, it's Pollard who's

822
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: been getting more work on the other side. A grade

823
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: for Jonathan Taylor. I got a B grade for Daniel Jones.

824
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 3: He's basically must start now. He averages two hundred and

825
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 3: fifty five passing yards and he has two touchdowns in

826
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 3: every single game. Michael Pittman's getting a B grade. Top

827
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: ten in red zone targets, caught four four scores.

828
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 6: He's scored in five of his seven games.

829
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 3: Titans are middle of the pack, but that shouldn't slow

830
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman. Tyler Warren is getting an A grade. He's

831
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 3: really entered must star category at this point, and Alec

832
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 3: Pierce is giving a C grade despite Josh Bounce coming back.

833
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: Titans are bottom ten in receptions, receiving yards, and explosive

834
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 3: plays allowed to wide receivers, and I think he can

835
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: get a deep one in this one. He's had a

836
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 3: deep one in three of his last four games.

Speaker 1: Football Weekly coming up in moments. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,

844
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: our number two. This is a game we call three

845
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: tough questions, and predictably we start here.

846
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 5: Tough question number one.

847
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: Is Alvin Kamara cooked or merely medium? Well, we just

848
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: talked about him last segment. We'll try to expand on

849
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: that right here. We begin with Scott Fish. Is Alvin

850
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Kamara cooked? Promirely me him well?

851
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: Kamara is second worst this season in rush yards over expectation,

852
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: behind only Traveon Henderson, who we might talk about next.

853
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 3: He hasn't had more than eleven rush attempts since Week four,

854
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: and Kendrey Miller was really digging in. The catches have

855
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: still been there, but he's averaging a career worst three

856
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 3: point six yards per carry and a career worst by

857
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 3: a mile four point nine yards per reception. He joked

858
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 3: about retiring if they try to trade him. I don't

859
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: think anyone's desperate enough to trade for him, and he's

860
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: half retired out there on the field already. He's making

861
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: fantasy days viable on volume season PPR catches. But other

862
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: than that, he seems pretty cooked.

863
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 2: So is that a yes cooked or is that a yeah? Okay,

864
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: you said pretty cooked. I just want to.

865
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 6: Nice in there.

866
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: No, you didn't say anything die in there, which is

867
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: hard for you to do.

868
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: By the way, describe a player ten different ways negative

869
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison.

870
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: Is Alvin Kamara cooked or merely medium? Well, he is cooked.

871
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 4: I mentioned some stats about him in my matchup where

872
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: I gave him a bench grade, but I'll add that

873
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 4: he's scored two touchdowns in his last fifteen games. He's

874
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 4: had two one hundred yard games in his last fifteen games,

875
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 4: and he's had eight games of fifty rushing yards or

876
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 4: fewer in that span. He's really cooked, not just regular cook.

877
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not going to shovel dirt on Kamara's grave,

878
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: but he's cooked. You guys have already hit a bunch

879
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: of the stats that I was going to hit on,

880
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: as in top seventy rushing yards this year. You know,

881
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: Kendrey Miller was eating into his his workload in a

882
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: big way, and I think at some pointy Kendrey Miller

883
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: was going to take that job. Now, Devin Neil has

884
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to do that, and we're going to

885
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about him down the road,

886
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: rock Chuck Tough.

887
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 5: Question number two, Should.

888
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: Listeners drop New England running back Travion Henderson? Scott, you

889
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: just alluded to this, but you don't get to go first,

890
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison. Should listeners drop Traveon Henderson?

891
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 4: No, I've got a couple of reasons. First, Mike Vrabel

892
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 4: has a track record of not giving up on guys

893
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 4: Enter Stevenson Comma Remandre, who fumbled twice on the goal

894
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 4: line against the Steelers this year, Vrabel went back to Remandre. Second,

895
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 4: The stretch slash fantasy playoff run for the Patriots running

896
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 4: backs is so juicy since he in Week twelve, the

897
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 4: Giantston thirteen. They got a buy in week fourteen, but

898
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 4: then they have the Bills in week fifteen, their tenth

899
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 4: easiest against the run, Baltimore in Week sixteen, their fiftiesiest

900
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 4: against the run, and the Jets in week seventeen. They're

901
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: middle of the pack, but they might have just completely

902
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 4: given up at that point. If Ramandre gets hurt or

903
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 4: fumbles one more time, Henderson might be a late season hero, all.

904
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: Right, Scott Fish should listeners drop New England running Henderson.

905
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: At first, when I read this, this question confused me

906
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: and it's phrasing and should they drop Henderson? I wasn't

907
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 3: sure how to answer it because the way you worded

908
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 3: it makes it sound like people still have them on

909
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 3: their rosters, are currently debated dropping him off the roster,

910
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: that they somehow still have him on.

911
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 6: But I guess if you yeah so.

912
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: McDaniels has said for weeks on end that he was

913
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 3: going to get Henderson more involved, more involved, and he

914
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: hasn't done it, and the coaching staff continues to say, well,

915
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: Stevenson's running well later in the season with those great matchups.

916
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 3: What if Stevenson is still running well in those great matchups,

917
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 3: they might just keep it with him. This is a

918
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: long roundabout way to actually say. I probably the offense

919
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: is pretty good, Trivion Henderson will be the next man up.

920
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 3: Those are good matchups, and running backs are a mess

921
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: this year. You might be starting guys like Woody Marx.

922
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: A lot of weeks are Tony Paul and guys like that.

923
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 3: Travion Henderson probably should be on a roster. I know

924
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: I made a joke at the top, but I don't

925
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 3: think they. They probably shouldn't be dropping him just yet.

926
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: All right, so you're a hold on. We have a

927
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 2: hold in a hold.

928
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: The only reasons to roster Travon Henderson is hoping that

929
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: Rmandri Stevenson fumbles away the starting job or gets hurt.

930
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: So he's really just a handcuff. And here's the thing,

931
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: He's not even a good handcuff. Travan Henderson is dead

932
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: last in Pro Football Focus is running back rankings as

933
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: a runner. He's also dead last in Pro Football Focuses

934
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: past blocking rankings as a runner. I mean, those are hard.

935
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to get on the field. I'm not saying

936
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: Travan Henderson will never be good. I am saying he

937
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: hasn't been good. His past blocking is terrible. And there's

938
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: so many handcuffs that are better than Travian Henderson.

939
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: The versions of Travion Henderson.

940
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 1: We've seen Ray Davis, Oli Gordon, Jerome Ford, Kenneth Gainwell,

941
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: Base Shelton, TYJ. Spears, Woody Marks, Tyrone, Tracy will Shipley,

942
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby, Chris Rodriguez, Emanuel Wilson, Blake Or and Brian

943
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Robinson all better running backs. And what we've seen that

944
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: are all handcuffs. I don't need to be tied to

945
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: Trevon Henderson reliving his preseason That was a bad read.

946
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: He's not ready yet and I'm not just rostering a

947
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: handcuff for the sake of rostering a handcuff.

948
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 6: I did drop him in the league this week.

949
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: There you go.

950
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: I think you answered your own question better than you

951
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: answered your own questions Scott.

952
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 5: Tough question number three.

953
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: Are you buy and low on Isaiah Pacheco or are

954
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: you just glad you don't have him? And we may

955
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: have actually asked a version of this question earlier in

956
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: the season. I believe we're gonna circle back to it

957
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: now with Scott Fish.

958
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 6: Yeah.

959
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 3: I took down what you said, and I'm just going

960
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: to recite it verbatim now, Okay, No, I'll be short

961
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: and quick. Probably just glad I don't have him. Britchard

962
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 3: Smith had a bunch of touches at the end of

963
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 3: a blow, so I don't really think he's fully working in,

964
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: but they want to work him in a bit more.

965
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 3: They don't seem to love or trust their run game

966
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 3: at all. They're having mahomes throw a ton more this

967
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: year than last year, especially when they get down near

968
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 3: the goal line and having Mahomes run it in at

969
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 3: the goal line instead instead of having a running back.

970
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 3: Pachecko has failed the top sixty yards this whole year

971
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 3: and he does just two scores. I'm just glad I

972
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 3: don't have him at this point.

973
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: Matt Isaiah Pachecko. Are you buy and low on Pachecko?

974
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: Are you just glad you don't have him?

975
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 4: If I can get Pachecko for basically nothing and use

976
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 4: him as a bench player as a depth piece, I

977
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 4: think that I'll acquire him right now. Fifteen carries last

978
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 4: week his first rushing score since Week one of twenty

979
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 4: twenty four. There's a handful of games coming up that

980
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 4: he's going to get starting grades too. Dallas in week thirteen,

981
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 4: Chargers in week fifteen, and Titans in week sixteen stick

982
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 4: out as very startable games. So if you're not having

983
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: to start him and he's just a bench guy, I

984
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 4: don't mind grabbing him and using him in a few spots.

985
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: That is the correct answer for what you have to

986
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: pay to get Isaiah Pachecko. I'm buying and part of

987
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: its eye test watching Pachecko, he is running with the

988
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: vigor that we saw pre injury that he did not

989
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: show for the first four or five games of this year.

990
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: Box scores don't tell the whole story, but he's getting

991
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: He's coming off his two games with the most attempts.

992
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: That looks like they're starting to finally realize that Kareem

993
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: Hunt shouldn't be carrying the ball, that he's awful, which

994
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: he is at this stage of his career. And yes,

995
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: Richard Smith is working into the back more, but that's

996
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: primarily as a receiver, which has never been Pacheco's game anyway.

997
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: So right now, for what it'll cost me to go

998
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: get Pichecko, I think he is a flex guy through

999
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: these remaining bye weeks, of which we still have I

1000
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: don't know whatever five weeks left with bye weeks. Pachecko's

1001
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: the kind of guy to be happy to flex in

1002
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: those situations, and I think it's the time to buy low.

1003
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to our final matchup of this segment,

1004
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: and that is Jets taking on the Bengals Matt Harrison.

1005
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: Somehow we managed to use three Jets in our take

1006
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: a chance on me segment, and that doesn't really leave

1007
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: I think anybody left Josh Reynolds is hurt. I can't

1008
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: believe there's anybody left even to talk about on the Jets.

1009
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 4: Well, I think that there's somebody we need to talk about,

1010
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 4: and that's Todd Heap, because it's time for the Jets

1011
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 4: version of the Todd Heap Memorial injury report. Barrett Wilson

1012
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 4: is out this week. Mason Taylor didn't practice on Thursday

1013
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 4: with a quad injury. His backup Stone Smart didn't practice either.

1014
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 4: Tyrod Taylor might be the starter, but he's limited with

1015
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 4: a knee injury. Breis Hall also limited with a knee injury,

1016
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: but it looks like he'll play. Sauce Gardner didn't practice

1017
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 4: with concussion. So basically all of their best and most

1018
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: important players are injured heading into the last game before

1019
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 4: a bye week in a lost season. So of course

1020
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 4: we put three take a chance on me. He's on

1021
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 4: the Jets, Taylor, whoever the Jets quarterback is, and Isaiah

1022
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 4: Davis will all take a chance on me. Guys, Breece

1023
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 4: Hall is the only other guy you can talk about

1024
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 4: on the Jets. He's startable with a C grade. Hall

1025
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 4: had thirteen touches last week against the Panthers, in a

1026
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 4: game that was close, so that's a little disappointing. He

1027
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 4: should have done much more than fifty two combo yards.

1028
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 4: But the Jets just have diseased vibes right now. The

1029
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 4: only way to get out of it is to run

1030
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 4: the ball against the worst running defense in the league.

1031
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 4: And I tackled some of the Sinci stats in the

1032
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 4: take a chance on Me segment. But if Breece Hall

1033
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 4: can't get it done today, he's going to be in

1034
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 4: three tough questions. Is he drop a bawle next week?

1035
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco was might take a chance on me quarterback,

1036
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 4: so I must love his receivers. Of course, we love

1037
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase. He's seen thirty five Joe Flacco targets in

1038
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 4: the last two weeks. That's more targets on the season

1039
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 4: than DJ Moore, Jamison Williams, Calvin Ridley, Khalil Shakir, and

1040
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 4: Kean Coleman in two weeks worth. Noting Sauce Gardner probably

1041
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 4: not gonna play, but even if he does play, Chase

1042
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: and saus had one matchup against each other in their career.

1043
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 4: Chase went for six catches and he did score, but

1044
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 4: only had twenty nine yards a grade for Chase Still,

1045
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 4: Brandon Stevens figures to be on T Higgins, and he's

1046
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 4: allowed three touchdowns in his coverage in a passer rating

1047
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 4: of one twenty. By the way, Higgins has seen eighteen

1048
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 4: targets in the last two weeks, so Higgins gets a beat.

1049
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 4: Noah Fant saw one hundred percent of the tight end

1050
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 4: targets for the Bengals in their win over Pittsburgh last week,

1051
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 4: caught all four of them for forty four in a score.

1052
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 4: Flacco has thrown a tight end touchdown in both of

1053
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 4: his games as a Bengal, and the Jets have allowed

1054
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 4: the second most tight end touchdowns in the league this year,

1055
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 4: with six against them in seven games. If the volume

1056
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 4: was higher, this would be a B grade, but we'll

1057
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 4: stay with a C here and Chase Brown he gets

1058
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: just a C grade. The Jets have actually done a

1059
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 4: decent job against opposing runners in the last two weeks.

1060
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 4: They basically stuffed the Broncos run game, and Rico Dowdell

1061
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 4: and Chewba Hubbard piled up some yards but didn't score

1062
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 4: last week. Brown hasn't scored since Week one, but he

1063
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 4: did put up one hundred and eight rushing yards last week,

1064
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 4: which was the first time he topped the fifty yard

1065
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 4: mark on the year.

1066
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: So there's a glimmer of hope. But it's just a

1067
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 2: C grade for Chase Brown.

1068
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: What do you think about buy and low on Chase

1069
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: Brown right now? He looked resurgent.

1070
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 2: Man only in Dynasty.

1071
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 4: I think I think that offensive line is so diseased

1072
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 4: right now that we gotta wait till next year for

1073
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 4: Chase Brown to bounce back.

1074
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 1: I'll take the other side of it. I think I'm

1075
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: buying low on Chase Brown. Pennies on the dollar. I

1076
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: loved him going into the season. I overranked him, didn't

1077
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 1: think the offensive line would be as bad.

1078
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: As it is.

1079
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: But Joe Bolflaco bringing competency to the quarterback position might

1080
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: just unlock some productivity and Chase Brown we have not

1081
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: seen to this point. When we come back Bo Nicks

1082
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: coming off the best game of any quarterback all year

1083
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, can he go back to back when he

1084
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: takes on the Cowboys this week? Find out when we

1085
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1086
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: This is a block of matchups and a lot of

1087
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: letter grades coming, Beginning with the Cowboys taking on the Broncos.

1088
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 6: Let's go to the.

1089
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys side first. I don't know if you guys have

1090
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: heard this stat you probably already have. The Cowboys have

1091
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: the number one offense by yards allowed, the number two

1092
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. Is whoever's playing the Cowboys.

1093
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: Yes, unbelievable stat.

1094
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the Cowboys passing game and George Pickens.

1095
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, even with Ceede Lamb returning last week, Pickens

1096
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: remained heavily involved in the offense as an outside runner.

1097
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: He's got a brutal matchup against Patrick Sirtan and Riley Moss.

1098
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: Sir Tan, you know, is awesome. Riley Moss, you probably

1099
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: don't know, has the lowest catch percentage in his coverage

1100
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: of any cornerback in the NFL. This is the best

1101
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 1: secondary in the NFL. The Broncos have allowed just one

1102
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown all year, and they're giving up the

1103
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,479
Speaker 1: fourth few s yards of the position. Pickens can always

1104
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: win on contested catches, but other big bodied receivers have

1105
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: struggled against Denver, and I'm including like Michael Pittman. AJ

1106
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: Brown did very little, so I've only got a rare

1107
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: C grade on the otherwise, very good George Pickens ceedee lamb.

1108
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm keeping him with an A grade because he can

1109
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: run from the slot.

1110
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: Now. In fairness, he's only running.

1111
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: About one third of his routes from the slot, but

1112
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: he can run from the slot a lot, and I

1113
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: think they're going to run him there so they can

1114
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: avoid Patrick Sartan and Riley Moss. Those guys don't travel

1115
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: to the slot very often. A grade on CD lamp

1116
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: ah ah. A grade on CD lamb.

1117
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 6: Wow, how's that?

1118
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 5: Not?

1119
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 3: Very convinced? If you had a plus or minus? Would

1120
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: you throw it on there?

1121
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is. What do you mean?

1122
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 4: You don't know what pluses and minuses are never heard

1123
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 4: of it? You never did like rudimentary math and school.

1124
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: They held me back in kindergarten. Okay, thirteen years That's

1125
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Jake Ferguson is Dak Prescott's best route

1126
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: to passing success.

1127
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 2: Last week, Giants tight.

1128
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: Ends combined for one hundred and fifty four yards against Denver.

1129
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: Every opposing tight end with a pulse has posted a

1130
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant game against the Broncos, and Ferguson leads all

1131
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: tight ends in receptions and he has scored a whopping

1132
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in the last four games. Get this, Broncos

1133
00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: are seeing the deepest average tight end pass against them yards.

1134
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: That would be great for Jake Ferguson, A grade for him.

1135
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: How about Dak Prescott. Tough game against the defense that's

1136
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest passing touchdowns, but still think there's some

1137
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: opportunity here. Jackson Dart and Jalen Hurts have thrown five

1138
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the past two weeks against Denver. Daniel Jones

1139
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert top three hundred yards against Denver. So we're

1140
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna keep Dak Prescott in our lineups with a B grade.

1141
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: For the running game, it's all about Javonte Williams. The

1142
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys would love to simply run the ball for most

1143
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: of this game. It's a pass of least resistance against

1144
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and Williams have been great just one dead

1145
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: game all year, touchdowns in five of seven games. He's

1146
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: averaging five point three yards per carry that is second

1147
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: only to Bijon Robinson. The Broncos are a good run defense,

1148
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: but they're not elite. Three different runners have topped fifty

1149
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: receiving yards against the Broncos, and Javanti Williams can catch

1150
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, not a lot. He can catch a

1151
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: little bit. He might chip in a few receptions for

1152
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: you as well. We'll go be grade on Javonte Williams

1153
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: in this matchup over to the Broncos side. Troy Franklin

1154
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: was Matt's take a chance on me wide receiver. I've

1155
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: got a B grade on him. I like him that much,

1156
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: I alluded to Courtland Sutton. Everybody's feasting on this Dallas secondary,

1157
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: but in particular, physical body control receivers have killed this

1158
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Dallas secondary.

1159
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: That includes Ted McMillan.

1160
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, we called his first ever touchdown on

1161
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: this show, and he actually rang the bell twice with

1162
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: that one. So I'd love to know what's going on

1163
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: with Dallas cornerback Trayvon Diggs. They said he had something

1164
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: happen at home and he's in the concussion protocol, but

1165
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: he's not like practicing and he's not with the team

1166
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: this very There's something weird happening with Trayvon Diggs. Some

1167
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: people think that this is a soft benching that he

1168
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: has not accepted, and they've told him to stay home.

1169
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 2: We don't know what's going on there.

1170
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton's going to feast on this defense with without well,

1171
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be without Treyvon Diags. Reminder, Dallas has allowed

1172
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: the most wide receiver touchdowns, fourth most wide receiver yards.

1173
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: As you were told to take a chance on me.

1174
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: A grade for Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims even checking in

1175
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: here is a deep dark throw for all the same

1176
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: reasons that Matt gave for Troy Franklin.

1177
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 2: You could use Mims. He sees less time on the

1178
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 2: field than Sutton or Franklin, but still usable here because

1179
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 2: the Dallas secondary is so bad. Evan Ingram getting on

1180
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: the field plenty. He's actually getting targeted plenty. But here's

1181
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 2: where Evan Ingram is killing fantasy managers. It's all short receptions.

1182
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 2: He ranks fortieth among tight ends in depth of target

1183
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: at just three yards. You just can't fill a box

1184
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: score on three yard catches. Dallas is an average tight

1185
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 2: end defense. Ingram's lack of upside limits him to a

1186
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: C grade in this matchup. And staying with the passing game,

1187
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 2: let's go to Boonix. As I mentioned earlier, biggest game

1188
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 2: of any quarterback all year for bon Nicks was last

1189
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: week and it came on one.

1190
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Quarter for a touchdown game to rushing to receiving. He

1191
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: faces a Dallas defense that ranks dead last and passing

1192
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: yards allowed, dead last in passing touchdowns allowed, dead last

1193
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: in quarterback rushing yards allowed, and dead last in quarterback

1194
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns allowed.

1195
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: That is an astounding level of ineptitude against quarterbacks.

1196
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: And Scott Fish has got a little bit more detail

1197
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: on bon Nix.

1198
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 6: I like that throw.

1199
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: I was simply gonna mention that when at home like

1200
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 3: he is this week, bon Nicks is averaging over two

1201
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 3: point eight touchdowns per game. That's that's passing plus rushing combined,

1202
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 3: but nearly three touchdowns a game at home. That's that's

1203
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 3: an incredible amount.

1204
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: That is a fantastic for bon Nicks and an a

1205
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 2: grade for Bone.

1206
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 3: If you take out his first two games as a rookie,

1207
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 3: it's over three per game since.

1208
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: And you know he was just getting acclimated in the

1209
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: league at that point. Yeah, jk Do is the last

1210
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Bronco to talk about. He's rushing at five yards per

1211
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: carry and he's absolutely pinned r J. Harvey to the bench. Also,

1212
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have allowed the second most running back receptions

1213
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: and the second most receiving yards and Dobbins he doesn't

1214
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: catch a ton, but he could chip in a little

1215
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: more help through the air.

1216
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 2: Here for you as well, B grade on J. K.

1217
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Dobbins, Scott, let's go over to the forty nine ers

1218
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 1: where Brock Purdy has been ruled out again. We've got

1219
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: another mac Jones start on our hands.

1220
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mac Jones starting this game as one of the

1221
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 3: lower over unders of the week. Mac Jones has had

1222
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: a couple of decent games, but last week when he

1223
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 3: faced Atlanta, who is the second toughest against fantasy passers,

1224
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 3: they held mac Jones to one hundred and fifty two

1225
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 3: yards and no scores. The Texans are the only team

1226
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 3: ranked above those Falcons that they just played Houston, allowing

1227
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 3: the fewest completions, attempts, passing scores, and second fewest passing

1228
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 3: yards to opposing quarterbacks. I have Mac Jones on the bench.

1229
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 3: He's going to be without Ricky Piersall as well, which

1230
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 3: isn't gonna help his case. Kendrick Bourne and Juwan Jennings,

1231
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I also have them on the bench. Kendrick Bourne had

1232
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 3: those two monster games. Then last week in the tough matchup,

1233
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: followed it up with a complete two target dud. Juwan Jennings,

1234
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 3: who's dealing with five broken ribs, a high ankle sprain

1235
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 3: in a low ankle sprayed at shoulder injuries. It play

1236
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 3: eighty five percent of the staffs a thirty percent target

1237
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: chair last week, but he's been under thirty five total

1238
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 3: yards in all but one game. He's just not getting

1239
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 3: the yards, even though he's running a done of routes

1240
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 3: out there, so he's on the bench. George Kittle last

1241
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 3: week was the first time in his career that he

1242
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 3: was fully healthy for a full game and went catchless.

1243
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 3: He apologized to fantasy owners. Maybe there's a bounce back coming.

1244
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: It's a tough matchup. The Texans have allowed the third

1245
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 3: fewest receptions and yards to tight ends and have only

1246
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 3: allowed one score to the position, and that was all

1247
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 3: the way back in Week one. If there is upside here,

1248
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 3: Kittle is light years better than any tight end the

1249
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: text to have faced this year, and the two tight

1250
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 3: ends that had five or more targets, which Kittle generally gets,

1251
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 3: went four for forty two and six for sixty one,

1252
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 3: which I'll take on six bye weeks from the tight

1253
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 3: end position. So I'm gonna give a B grade to

1254
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 3: George Kittle here. He might be the lone bright spot

1255
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,959
Speaker 3: in that pass game other than the past game work

1256
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 3: that Christian McCaffrey does. Because the offense basically runs through him.

1257
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 3: They're giving him I should look it up. I think

1258
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 3: they're giving him about forty seven touches per game at

1259
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 3: least that's what it feels like when I watch the games.

1260
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 6: It's constant to him.

1261
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 3: The Texans aren't allowing much through the air, allowing eighteen

1262
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 3: yards per game through the air to bas but no

1263
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: one they faces anywhere near McCaffrey's pass catching level, though.

1264
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,959
Speaker 3: But you should temper expectations because this is a tough

1265
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 3: matchup here. It is an automata that I'm giving him.

1266
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 3: But only Bucky Irving top seventy rushing yards and he's

1267
01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 3: the only one also to top seventy five Comboy yards. Again,

1268
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 3: McCaffrey better than all the other running backs the Texans

1269
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 3: have faced so far on the Houston side c J.

1270
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 6: Stroud.

1271
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 3: Teams have been able to get to Stroud disrupt his game,

1272
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 3: and he's had a lot of game out bad games

1273
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 3: because of that. But the forty nine Ers have the

1274
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 3: lowest pressure rate in the league, fewest QB knockdowns, fifth

1275
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 3: lowest hurry rate, second lowest splitz rate, and second fewest sacks.

1276
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 3: They're getting no pressure on the quarterback and they just

1277
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 3: lost Fred Warner. That Texans o line is terrible, and

1278
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 3: they're so bad that the forty nine Ers might accidentally

1279
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 3: stumble into some pressure.

1280
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 6: But c J.

1281
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Stroud has been mid two hundreds for over the for

1282
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 3: the last three games. He has seven scores in that span. Similarly,

1283
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 3: in the last three games, the forty nine Ers have

1284
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 3: allowed an average of two hundred and ninety five passing

1285
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 3: yards and two scores per game over the last three.

1286
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna give c. J. Stroud a C grade,

1287
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 3: even though he's missing his top two receivers. I think

1288
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 3: he'll spread it around just enough to get some work done.

1289
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 3: Xavier Hutchinson, I'm throwing on the bench. He doesn't have

1290
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 3: more than four targets in any game. He's playing a

1291
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 3: ton of stamps, but he gets the tougher matchup against

1292
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 3: Diamadoor Lenore Jenden Higgins also on the bench. He's getting

1293
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 3: that Ronaldo Green matchup. One of them might hit Hutchinson,

1294
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 3: might get a touchdown. I think there's some points to

1295
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 3: be had here. I just don't know where it's gonna

1296
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 3: come from. Jalen Noel is my top pick. He was

1297
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 3: might take a chance on me. Player Dalton Schultz has

1298
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 3: been limited in practice all week. They think he's gonna go.

1299
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 3: He played hurt last week. Five of his ten targets

1300
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 3: came after Nico left. He caught nine of his ten

1301
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 3: targets last week. He has at least five catches in

1302
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 3: four straight but hasn't scored all year. Tatum Bethune, who

1303
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 3: is replacing Fred Warner in the middle of that defense.

1304
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 3: That linebacker when he covers, when he covers apponysing tight ends,

1305
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 3: He's allowed to catch on every single target this year.

1306
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 6: Wow, Dalton yep.

1307
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 3: But Tatum Bethune is very good against the run, bad

1308
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 3: against the so there might be room for Ted. Dalton

1309
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 3: Schultz C grade there, and finally a C grade on

1310
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 3: Woody Marx. I'm keeping Chubb on the bench. Marx has

1311
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 3: led the backfield to the last three weeks, and the

1312
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 3: one he didn't was that thirty point blow where Chubb

1313
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 3: got more work and just was super inefficient with it.

1314
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 3: He also gets more receiving work. Forty nine Ers middle

1315
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 3: of the pack, middle of the pack against running backs,

1316
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 3: but again lost Fred Warner and their bottom five against

1317
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 3: receiving backs. And that's more of Marx's game than Chubbs.

1318
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 3: So if they look to exploit the running game, it's

1319
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 3: gonna be through Mark. So just barely a C grade there.

1320
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: Final matchup of this segment is Packers taking on the Steelers.

1321
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Matt.

1322
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, we rolled into the season hoping that we'd

1323
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,839
Speaker 1: have a little more clarity on the Packers wide receiver situation,

1324
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: like somebody would emerge as the go to receiver. That

1325
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: really hasn't happened this year, and once again it feels

1326
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: like the most reliable Packers receiver is their tight end

1327
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: by a fair margin right now.

1328
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tucker Craft is getting an A grade in this

1329
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 4: one for me. Pittsburgh allowing the eighth most receiving yards

1330
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 4: to tight ends and they've allowed four different tight ends

1331
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 4: to top ten PPR points and that includes Hunter Henry

1332
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 4: having a massive eight catch, ninety yard two touchdown game.

1333
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 4: That seems like a legit ceiling for Craft in this one.

1334
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 4: The other a grade. On the Packer's side, Josh Jacobs

1335
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 4: was limited with a calf injury all week. They expect

1336
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 4: him to go. He scored twice in three straight weeks

1337
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 4: and has scored a touchdown in fourteen of his last

1338
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 4: fifteen games. It's a tougher test this week against the Steelers,

1339
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 4: but Pittsburgh is allowing four point five yards per carry,

1340
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 4: so Jacobs is still an a. Let's talk those wide

1341
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 4: receivers now. Matthew Golden and Romeo Dobbs are the guys

1342
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 4: you want to play. Christian Watson told reporters that he

1343
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 4: plans to play Sunday night, though, and he'll just replace

1344
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 4: Dontavian Wicks, who will not play on Sunday Night. The

1345
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 4: Steelers have allowed the fifth most receptions in the eighth

1346
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 4: most yards to wide receivers, so how does this shake out.

1347
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 4: Dobbs has been and the clear wide receiver won this season,

1348
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 4: and he's led the wide receiver room in targets each

1349
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 4: of the last three weeks. But I got a gut

1350
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 4: feeling here. We haven't seen the Matthew Golden game yet.

1351
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 4: He hasn't scored yet. He catches almost everything thrown at him,

1352
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 4: and he's seen eight designed runs in the last five games.

1353
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 4: Plus wouldn't it be cosmically correct for Golden, the first

1354
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 4: round wide receiver draft pick which Aaron Rodgers sorely wanted

1355
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 4: to have his coming out party against Rogers on Sunday

1356
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 4: Night Football.

1357
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna give Dobbs a B.

1358
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,759
Speaker 4: Golden gets a seed, but I've got a good feeling

1359
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 4: about him. Now, let's talk the two quarterbacks, which is

1360
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 4: really the story of this game. Jordan Love has his

1361
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 4: first matchup against Aaron Rodgers, and I got to think

1362
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur and the whole organization are keenly aware that

1363
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 4: it's pretty important for Love to look dominant in this one,

1364
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 4: because frankly, Rodgers has looked pretty good this year. Love

1365
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 4: hasn't thrown a ton this year, though four of his

1366
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 4: six games have seen him throw twenty nine or fewer passes.

1367
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 4: The two games he's thrown thirty or more passes have

1368
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 4: turned out very well for him two ninety two and two,

1369
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 4: three point thirty seven and three. The matchup, forer Love

1370
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 4: is good. It's easier to pass on the Steelers than run.

1371
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh opponents average thirty nine pass attempts per game and

1372
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 4: two hundred ety two yards, So it's an A grade

1373
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 4: for Jordan Love. Now the other side, Aaron Rodgers. He's

1374
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 4: totally a guy who wouldn't want any kind of revenge

1375
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 4: on this team that let him walk, even though he

1376
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 4: stated earlier this week that he intends to sign a

1377
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 4: one day contract at the end of his career and

1378
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 4: retire a Packer. But he's had this game circled all year.

1379
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 4: I mentioned Rogers has been good. Only Matthew Stafford has

1380
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 4: more touchdown passes per game this year than Aaron Rodgers.

1381
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 4: A lot of his passes have been the short variety, though,

1382
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 4: but that works pretty well against green Bay. The Packers

1383
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 4: have seen the eighth most passing attempts and the sixth

1384
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 4: most completions against them this year, and they only have

1385
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 4: two picks. It's a lot of short, dink and dunk stuff.

1386
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 4: Five of the last six quarterbacks to face Green Bay

1387
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 4: have had multiple touchdown passes. It's an A grade for

1388
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers too. Dk Metcalf gets an A grade as well.

1389
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 4: He's had double digit PPR points in every game but

1390
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 4: won this year, and have scored a touchdown in four

1391
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 4: or five and Alpha wide receivers have done well against

1392
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 4: Green Bay. Jamar Chase Pickens without CD Debo without Terry

1393
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 4: all had huge games. By the way, Calvin Austin was

1394
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,879
Speaker 4: seen practicing this week and he might play. I wouldn't

1395
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 4: start him, though, It's gonna be tough in a night

1396
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 4: game to trust that.

1397
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 5: Now.

1398
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 4: The tight end position, Darnell Washington, John new Smith, and

1399
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 4: pat Tyermuth all get C grades.

1400
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 2: Oh, Howard Board, I'm not a coward. They're almost equal.

1401
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 4: The Steelers play the fourth most twelve personnel in the league.

1402
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 4: That's two tight ends, and they play the most thirteen personnel.

1403
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 4: Sixteen percent of the players have all three of their

1404
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 4: tight ends on the field. Each of these guys had

1405
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 4: at least sixty three percent of the snaps last week,

1406
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 4: and each was targeted five or six times.

1407
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: Each scored a touchdown.

1408
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 4: Friarmuth was the one with a huge day, but Washington

1409
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 4: has led the tight end room in Fantasy points in

1410
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 4: the prior two weeks, and John who did the prior

1411
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 4: three weeks before that, laporta Ertz, Ferguson McBride all put

1412
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 4: up great days against this defense in a six team

1413
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 4: bye week with a bunch of good tight ends out.

1414
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 4: I feel like you can throw a dart at any

1415
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 4: of the tight ends. Here's how I like him though,

1416
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 4: Friarmuth first, Washington, next, John U.

1417
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,839
Speaker 6: Last, what grade did you give to Connor Hayward?

1418
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 4: He did not get one. But we do have to

1419
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 4: talk about the Pittsburgh running backs. This is a thorny matchup.

1420
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren gets to see Kenny Gainwells on the bench.

1421
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 4: Warren was a belcow last week with twenty touches, and

1422
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 4: the Packers have been tough against the run this year,

1423
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 4: but running backs who've had at least nineteen touches against

1424
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 4: them have gone pretty well. Judkins had ninety five combo

1425
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 4: yards in a score. Javante had one hundred combo yards

1426
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 4: in a score. End of list. So if Warren gets

1427
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 4: the volume, he's a pretty decent play in this game.

1428
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: I think Warren has looked really, really good.

1429
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been shocked at his level play, really solid

1430
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 1: output from.

1431
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 2: Him so far.

1432
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Darnold Washington is my new move over John new Smith.

1433
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: Darnold Washington is so much fun. Brumbleedrodd six foot seven

1434
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: three and forty pounds.

1435
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,759
Speaker 2: Oh man, he is a blast to watch. Love that guy.

1436
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: When we come back, we've only got one matchup left,

1437
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: Commander's taking on the Chiefs on Monday Night Football, but

1438
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: will also give you three players premature speculation. Will jump

Speaker 1: Let's jump into the Fantasy Football Weekly.

1457
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 5: From the.

1458
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: We'll identify three players you should pick up now that

1459
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: other people will be trying to pick up later, but

1460
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: they're already on your team.

1461
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 2: We begin with Scott Fish.

1462
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Devin Neil. Can do everything, pass, catch,

1463
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 3: pass block. He was a real well rounded pat prospect

1464
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 3: coming out. Immediately jumps into that backup role. With Kendrey

1465
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 3: Miller's injury, coaching staff said they do want to work

1466
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 3: him in, get him some get him some more work.

1467
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 3: Miller had touched. Kendre Miller had touchcounts of nine to eleven,

1468
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 3: eleven and nine in the four games prior to his injury.

1469
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 3: There has been room for a second back as Kamaras

1470
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,520
Speaker 3: load has gotten lighter, as he's been really, really inefficient

1471
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 3: and just pretty much bad this year. It wouldn't shock

1472
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 3: me if Devin Neil starts to work into that ten

1473
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 3: plus touch role here at the end of the season.

1474
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Devin Neil.

1475
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I talked about him in the preseason because I thought

1476
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 1: he was going to bypass Kendrey Miller and he was

1477
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: going to be the number two. Turned out, Kendry Miller

1478
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: was putting together a career year. Devin Neil the footwork,

1479
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: he's slippery, he can catch, He might be better than

1480
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara right now, based on what we were talking

1481
01:16:58,160 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: about earlier in this show about Alvin.

1482
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 2: Kamer cooked status.

1483
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to Matt Harrison, your premature

1484
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 1: speculation player.

1485
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 4: My guy might have been dropped, but you might have

1486
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 4: to trade for him. I don't think it's gonna cost

1487
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 4: you very much to get him, though. It's Kyle Pitts.

1488
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 4: He's tight end number eighteen right now. I don't think

1489
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 4: there's very many true believers in Kyle Pitts left. He's

1490
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 4: only scored once this year. He did get targeted ten

1491
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,520
Speaker 4: times last week seven for sixty two against San Francisco.

1492
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 4: But I want you to pick him up because the

1493
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 4: next six weeks Kyle Pitts plays a bottom eleven tight

1494
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 4: end defense six times jeez. After that he's got two

1495
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 4: neutral matchups, and then in your fantasy semi finals in

1496
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 4: week sixteen, he gets a terrible Arizona tight end defense.

1497
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 4: So seven bottom eleven tight end matchups in the next

1498
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 4: nine weeks. The matchups are just groovy for him. So

1499
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 4: I think you should go try to get Kyle Pitts

1500
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 4: right now.

1501
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: The beauty about trading for Kyle Pitts right now is

1502
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,719
Speaker 1: half of the league's already been burned and burned badly

1503
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 1: on Kyle Pitts and want nothing to do with him,

1504
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 1: vowed to never roster him again, so there's never an

1505
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: expensive market on Kyle Pitts. Yeah, I'm also giving a

1506
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: premature speculation.

1507
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 2: Tight end.

1508
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: My guy was mentioned earlier and I was surprised. He

1509
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: even came up tip of the hat to Scott Fish

1510
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: gunner Helm. Who is gunner Helm that you're asking? He

1511
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 1: is the tight end for Tennessee. This is probably a

1512
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: dynasty stash play. Really, I think this is somebody you're

1513
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: gonna have to be patient with. This is the rookie

1514
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: tight end Titans. He will grow into this role with

1515
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback cam Ward. His playing time is starting to

1516
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: pull even with chigakonk Wu. Over the past three weeks,

1517
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: gunner Helm is within ten percent of Chiggs playing time.

1518
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: He's coming off a game with career highs in targets,

1519
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,879
Speaker 1: catches in yards like that little gunner action in the background,

1520
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: and since week five, gunner Helm is sixth among all

1521
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: tight ends in targets per route run and he's fourteenth

1522
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: and eight out. They're using him downfield Plus, gunner Helm's

1523
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: got the best NFL name since Mac Strong for him,

1524
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Lynn Dickey, this is a it's a great I just

1525
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: want I just want gunner Helm, a guy named gunner

1526
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 1: Helm on my Dynasty team.

1527
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll consider him. All right.

1528
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,440
Speaker 1: We've got one matchup left, and that is the Commander's

1529
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: taking on the Chiefs. This is the Monday Night game.

1530
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk it through. There's some moving parts here we'll

1531
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: have to work with, as mondays, we'll have some time.

1532
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: Let's start with to Corey Krofsky Merit. I think this

1533
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 1: game script turns against Bill really quickly. He doesn't catch

1534
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 1: and if the Commanders are down early JA Cory Krofsky

1535
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: Merritt could have a serious volume problem. And we've seen

1536
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: this happen a lot in recent weeks. Ashton genty just

1537
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: six carries against the Chiefs, Travis Etn just twelve carries,

1538
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry just eight carries. Cam Scattabu just ten carries

1539
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. None of them scored. If there weren't

1540
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: six teams on buy, I'd be giving Bill a bench grade.

1541
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: But as it stands with the six teams on by,

1542
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a seat in the hope that

1543
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: he's productive early in the game before the Chiefs run

1544
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: away with this one, or that maybe Bill gets a

1545
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: goal line carry, although Chris Rodriguez got a goal line

1546
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: carry last week, so we don't know for sure that

1547
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: he'd even get that goal line carry. C grade on

1548
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: Jacorey Krossky Merrit. Let's go over to the passing game.

1549
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: No Jaden Daniels. Unfortunately, it's gonna be Marcus Mariota. In

1550
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 1: Mariota's two full games, he's been quarterback six, which is good,

1551
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: quarterback seventeen not bad, and he gets a C grade

1552
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: here even with a dearth of healthy receivers because he

1553
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: can run. In those two earlier starts, Mariota ran the

1554
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 1: ball sixteen times for one hundred yards and a touchdown.

1555
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: I expect him to have very little success to the Frankly,

1556
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs just obliterated Geno Smith and the average quarterback

1557
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: output against Kansas City since Week two, average game horrible.

1558
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty eight passing yards and zero point

1559
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns against Kansas City. This defense is rounding.

1560
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,799
Speaker 2: Into super Bowl form. That is nothing.

1561
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 1: So Mariota's got to run a little bit. He probably

1562
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: will C grade for him. All right, Let's go to

1563
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: the receivers, beginning at the tight end position and zach Ertz.

1564
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: He has scored in consecutive games, undoubtedly aided by the

1565
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: fact that Washington's out of these wide receiver injuries. But

1566
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: I think Deebo, Samuel and Terry McLaurin are gonna come back.

1567
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: And Ertz is really not all that productive for the

1568
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: past five weeks, averaging just twenty eight passing yards. Kansas

1569
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: City's a really good tight end defense. Only one is scored,

1570
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: none of top fifty five yards, barely a C grade

1571
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: for zach Ertz in this game. Let's go to Deebo Samuel,

1572
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,919
Speaker 1: expected to play through his heel injury. If you're counting

1573
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 1: on Samuel, pick up Chris Moore is your emergency pivot

1574
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Eamiel might get some shadow coverage from Trent McDuffie, who's

1575
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: one of the few cornerbacks who travels left, right and slot.

1576
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: Almost nobody does that. Trent McDuffie does, and he's really good.

1577
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: He's allowing an average of just three catches for twenty

1578
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 1: three yards per game in his coverage. If he's going

1579
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: to pick up Deebo Samuel, which is exactly how I

1580
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: would use him, by the way, that would be trouble

1581
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: for Samuel. Just a C grade with Marcus Mariota throwing

1582
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 1: him the ball. Terry McLaurin should return from his month

1583
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: long quad injury. He runs more than any one player.

1584
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: He runs on one side of the field, the left side.

1585
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: He faces an excellent cornerback there that goes on the

1586
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: right side of the Kansas City defense. That's Jalen Watson,

1587
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: who hasn't allowed a touchdown all year, and he only

1588
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 1: gave up one all last year. Watson's giving up a

1589
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: tiny fifty six percent catch rate in his coverage. The

1590
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: commander is going to have to pass a lot because

1591
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: they're going to be trailing in this game, and volume

1592
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: can help McLaurin. But I can only give you a

1593
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: C grade with Marcus Mariota at the helm. All right,

1594
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,759
Speaker 1: let's go over to the lee side. As mentioned, possible

1595
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: slaughter incoming here. Kansas City's a twelve and a half

1596
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: point favorite. I'll note that they will probably be without

1597
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: left tackle Josh Simmons, who's expected to miss this game

1598
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: due to a family issue. Jalen Moore is the fill in.

1599
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: He did find last week in that role. I want

1600
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 1: to start with the running game and Isaiah Pacheco. We

1601
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: talked about him earlier in the show. I said he

1602
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: was a bi low candidate. Still think that here we

1603
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: are an hour later. Still agree with myself. He's been

1604
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: playing a lot later, including scoring his first rushing touchdown

1605
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 1: of the season last week. He's back to running with

1606
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:35,640
Speaker 1: his trademark aggressiveness, which is hard to quantify metrically, but

1607
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: just eye test, he looks really good and he's getting volume.

1608
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: His two highest volume games have been the last two weeks.

1609
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: The last two runners to face Washington, Javonte Williams and

1610
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, both had huge games. Isaiah Pacheco be great.

1611
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I this is the most confidence I've had on him

1612
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: all year.

1613
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 6: So you're gonna have to buy him low now.

1614
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 2: You might want to buy that's right immediately, Do not wait.

1615
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 6: On y We have it there too.

1616
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:03,839
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1617
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,799
Speaker 1: Burshard Smith saw a huge uptick in usage last week,

1618
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: but it's unclear how much that was because Kareem Hunt

1619
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: got injured in that game, but hopefully it's going to

1620
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: continue to get playing time and if this is a slaughter,

1621
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, think there's some garbage time

1622
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: prospects for Smith. He caught five passes last week. That's

1623
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 1: a career high. He has notched at least three catches

1624
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: in four straight games and Bershard Smith gets a C

1625
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: grade in this game. Rasie Rice, as hoped last week,

1626
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: right back to being the focal point of the Chiefs offense.

1627
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: I see no reason to believe that's going to change.

1628
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: He is an easy A grade. Xavier Worthy with Rice

1629
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: back last week, saw a small box score. It was

1630
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: likely because of the Chiefs blowout over the Raiders, and

1631
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: this could be a blowout too, and so there's a

1632
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: little bit of concern for that with Worthy. But know this,

1633
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: even with Rice back, Worthy did not see any downtick

1634
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: in terms of snaps or usage starting him, especially against

1635
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: a very inconsistent Washington secondary E grade for him. As

1636
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: for Juju Smith, Schuster, and Hollywood Brown, they are drop candidates.

1637
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Those two are the guys that suffered from Rashee Rice

1638
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: coming back last week. Their snaps routes were basically cut

1639
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: in half. They both have bench grades here. And then

1640
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: there's Travis Kelcey. In the past two years, Kelsey and

1641
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice have played four games together. And here's what's

1642
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: happened to Kelsey. Three catches thirty four yards, no touchdowns.

1643
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: That's a first game. Second game, one catch, five yards,

1644
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. Third game for Kelsey four catches thirty yards,

1645
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. And then Kelsey re catches fifty four yards,

1646
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. Kelsey gets court by Rashie Rice vacuuming up

1647
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: all those high value middle of the field receptions that

1648
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey normally gets.

1649
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,719
Speaker 2: That was good in this game.

1650
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: And then Patrick mall is my highest graded passer out

1651
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: of the entire slate this week, obvious A grade.

1652
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: I love him here, as I mentioned, I like all

1653
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 2: of his receivers quite a bit. All right, guys.

1654
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: That leaves us with this as with just about one

1655
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: minute left, Jordan Mason three absolute clunker games with Aaron Jones.

1656
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: How do you feel, Scott fish about his prospects Jordan

1657
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: Mason with Aaron Jones in this duelback.

1658
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 3: I'm not liking either of those backs prospects. The way

1659
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 3: the offensive line is banged up and injured right now

1660
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 3: and the way the team is playing, I think they're

1661
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 3: gonna be at best flex plays for the remainder of

1662
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 3: the season until things shape back.

1663
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 7: Up at best.

1664
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at a lot of C grades

1665
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: for Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones, and maybe even convention

1666
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: grades sprinkled in there as well.

1667
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.

1668
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,200
