Speaker 1: on demand. We always we encourage people to find it.

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: However you can a lot of people went up against

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: and by the way, all the normal stuff that you

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: love about the show take a chance on me. The

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: five Tough questions will break down all the matchups, the

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: premature speculation, the lightning round. I want to open by

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: addressing people who went up against some combination of Ben Roethlisberger,

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Chris Boswell, and or the Pittsburgh defense, because

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: they all put up gigantic games, and in many cases

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: people played against three of that combination. In some cases

28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: those people probably packed it in and aren't even listening

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: right now. If your opponent did that, they are sleeping.

30
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: They are sleeping. Um Still, what is the recommended course

31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: of action when you find yourself down by a bunch? Now,

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: in the case of Antonio Brown, you're probably going to lose,

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: but you might you know, if you only play one

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: of those, you know you might be able to scrap

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: your way back. What's the recommended course of action when

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you're down by a bunch? Well, I think when it's

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the choice between two players, you have to go with

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: the high upside guy. You have to just go for

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: every home run hitter you can. You don't go for

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna get you eight yards and or

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: eight catches and nine yeards. You don't go for Jarvis Landry.

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: You go for a guy who has a chance at

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns later. That's a good example right there. And

44
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: then there's all the Landry has been scoring touchdowns, has

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: been five of the last six games, so that might

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: not have been the best example over traditionally over the

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: course of his career. That's you're right, that's the guy

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you want to avoid. Seven am. The synapses aren't firing,

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, not yet. They The other thing I like

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: to do. I like to put together quarterback wide receiver

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: combos or quarterback tight end combos, so that if that

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: wide receiver hits twice, I also get paid on the

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: quarterback hitting twice. So I try to manufacture that matchup

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: if I can do it as well. Stack as much

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: as possible. Yeah, stack, stack as much as possibly. Throw

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: the kicker into and let's get the extra point on

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: that play. So you know, that's you know, that's that's

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: the angle I think for a special to go for

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: a defense and a guy. If you have Tyreek kill,

60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna start him. But and you have

61
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City obviously do But that's an example, you know,

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: where you go a turner and the defense you can

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: double up there on points for special teams special teams

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: that yeah, but um a lot all the stuffs, that's

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: all you gotta do. That's yeah, it's you're gonna need help,

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: But there are you know, there are handful things that

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: you can do. Let's jump right into the matchups, guys.

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: New England takes on Oakland. New England's offense starting to

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: it's starting to all come together, even without Chris Hogan,

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Danny Am and Dola doing very little. But the New

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: England offense has played very well lately and I don't

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: see a lot here with the Oakland defenses suggests it's

73
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna stop. Well, it's worth noting that this game is

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: being played in Mexico City. Not thank you very much.

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: That is absolutely true. By the way, I'm going to

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: make the rare kicker prediction. I believe goscows he's going

77
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: to kick four field goals in this game. He's got

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the second most field goals on the year. Oakland gives

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: up the second most field goals on the year, and

80
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: they're playing in an altitude that's higher than mile high

81
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: when they're in Mexico City. Gostkowski your ultimate kicker option

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: this week. So it was interesting to note they played

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: in Mile High the Patriots did last week. Yes, and

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: they stayed in Denver to stay acclimated to the altitude.

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, I had not heard that. So smart. So

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: they they've been out there and they're ready. So I

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: also love legal weed too, That's why they stayed out there.

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: That Belijack has been blazing straight to Mexico for him too.

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the conquistador in this game. He gets

90
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the A grade. L Gronk also getting an A grade

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: that the team or the Raiders have allowed four scores

92
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: and the ninth most catches to tight ends this year.

93
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Brandon coasoneros uh. Brandon Cooks he gets an A grad.

94
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: He was target at a season high eleven times last

95
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: week against Denver, which was awesome. Cook Straw is a

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: favorable match up against Sean Smith. He's the league sixty

97
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: four ranked corner according to Pro Football Focus, and we

98
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: probably won't see Chris Hogan this week. Senor Amundola has

99
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: finished with forty or few yards and four consecutive weeks,

100
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: but Raiders corner T. J. Kerry has a lot of

101
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: touchdown to a slot receiver in two of the last

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: three weeks. So he gets a C grade. That's a

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: that's a yes grade. Bye, that's a good point. The

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: C grade takes on all new meaning yes in Mexico City,

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: uh Aribau, Rex Burkhead and Dion Lewis are both getting

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: a B grade. I'm not sure which one of these

107
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: backs will get the Goose Guavo this week, but the

108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Raiders are giving up the fifth most receptions running backs,

109
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the seventh most receiving yards, and are tied for the

110
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: second most receiving touchdowns. That means Burkheads a easy b

111
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: uh Burkheads of the snaps this week. Last week, he's

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: my favorite. The Raiders d has allowed the fourth most

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards in the league and Dion Lewis is suddenly

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: the guy taking over as the every down running back.

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Uh he should be good for fifteen carries as he's

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: averaged the last two weeks, and Lewis took four of

117
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: the team's red zone carries last week. Let's flip on

118
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: over to the geez. This is so weird. It's better

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: than the ticking clocks. It is. Let's flip on over

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: to the side the ticking clock owned you. Marshawn Lynch

121
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: is gonna get a dose Eckys grade, which means he's

122
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: on the bench. The Pats defense has allowed only two

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: backs to go over seventy four yards. They've given up

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: just three touchdowns to running back since the opener. New

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: England does allow a league worst five point yards per carry,

126
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: but Lynch is only averaging eleven carries per game. The

127
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: passing game, however, Derek coach A he gets an A.

128
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Over their last three outings, they have not given up

129
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: more than two three passing yards the Patriots that is

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: or one touchdown. But coach A has gone over three

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards and each of his last three out Eric

132
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: o Jmark Cooper is getting a B and Michael Congrejo

133
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Our Bowl is also getting a B. The Patriots defense

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: is allowed the second most yards and the third most

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: catches too receivers. Cooper seen more time in the slot

136
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: in the last three games. His target his target load

137
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: has gone up to about per game during that stretch,

138
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: which is a lot yeah. And then finally, Uh also

139
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: a co scenaro Jared co scenario, the different kind of cook.

140
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Uh his averaging ninety seven yards in his last three games.

141
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: Going into the matchup with New England. The Patriots haven't

142
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: allowed a tight end to catch more than two passes

143
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, but they were torched for five

144
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: tight end touchdowns in the first six weeks of the season.

145
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: So I still like Cook. He gets a B grade

146
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: as well. Well done Senior Harrison undelay Trobajoick benigned per Lenard. Yeah,

147
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: I spoke German in high school too. Very nice Jaguars

148
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: taking on the Browns and quite the opposite match up here. Uh,

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I gotta believe there's there's gonna be very little to

150
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: like about the Brown side. But so let's start with

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguar side. Like portals fifty one passes last week,

152
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: do you think the aerial attack is maybe emphasized here,

153
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: especially if Leonard Fournette isn't able to go. Yeah, well,

154
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the path of least resistance against Cleveland is through the era.

155
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: They have a very legit run deep. I'm still putting

156
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Bortles on the bench though, even though Cleveland has allowed

157
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdown passes, which is the third most in the league.

158
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Bortles has one or zero passing touchdowns in every game

159
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: but one this year, and the one game he didn't

160
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: was that London game, which is a little flukey, So

161
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: I still love them on the bench because I'm not

162
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: a big fan of his pass catchers. Who will get

163
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: into here, I'll starting with Mark Eastley, who I have

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: on the bench. Might be surprised to hear that because

165
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: he is my boy. We go way back, but he's

166
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: likely to be shadowed by Jason mccordy. Pro Football focuses

167
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: number two ranked cornerback. Quarterbacks have an average rating of

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: fifty four point two when throwing into mccordy's coverage. Remember,

169
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee just cut him and like in the preseason, they

170
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't eat him against Antonio Brown. Certainly not. Yeah, that

171
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: was a that was a tactical blunder. Uh. It doesn't

172
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: get much better at wide receiver. Alan Hearns has been

173
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: ruled out with the knee that brings Keenan Cole into play.

174
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry healing Cole into play. I'm gonna give him

175
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: a desperation. See uh. Cleveland has allowed five wide receiver

176
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the last four games, and Cole has averaged

177
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards over his last three, with a catch

178
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: of twenty plus yards in each game. His targets have

179
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: increased four straight weeks, so he could be a sneaky

180
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: little uh play this week, as could Marcedes Lewis. Uh

181
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: if Schmarrick Schmibron got it done. I didn't say his name,

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: thank you. I do deserve a little peacock here, though,

183
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: because I did say to play him on fan ball

184
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: last week, and if he did, he made out all right.

185
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis. Marcedes Lewis could be another sneaky daily play

186
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: on fan ball this week. It's just against the Browns. Uh,

187
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: That's all you really have to say. A great matchup

188
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: for tight ends. So I'm giving him to see, Yeah,

189
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 1: this is the Browns. Were it not for the Giants,

190
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: we would be talking about how you you deploy every

191
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: tight end against against the Browns. Absolutely. Now, what about

192
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook, which I've had a dozen people ask

193
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: me about this way, he's not a lock to play

194
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: this week the last time. The last I heard, it

195
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: sounds like he will be active for the first time,

196
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: but there's no knowing what the snap count is gonna be, like,

197
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: what his role is going to be. Like I think

198
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're. That's a huge gamble, But don't play him.

199
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: Don't play him this week Probay a bonus premature speculation there.

200
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: And then finally, Leonard for Nett, you mentioned Church. I'll

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: give him a B if he plays with a borderline

202
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: see Um said. It is a very tough defense. Run

203
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: defense for for Cleveland ranked number two against the run

204
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: by Football Outsiders d v o A. Only one running

205
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: back is top sixty rush sixty rushing yards against cit

206
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the Browns. And that was your boy, buck Allan Church.

207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Soh my guy over to Cleveland. This will be quick

208
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: the past you leave that side of it. Only defense

209
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: in the league that is not allowed a one yard

210
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: rusher or a three yard passer Cleveland Browns. Yeah, and

211
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: obviously if for Net does sit, Chris Ivory and even

212
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: Corey Grant becomes so intriguing. But I'm not very compelled

213
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: to start them in a very tough matchup. But Ivory

214
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: sea level player for when it does sit. But don't

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: get excited about his prospects. Cleveland passing bench, the passing game,

216
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious. Even Corey Coleman, who should make his return,

217
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: you don't want to start him. I'll get I say

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: a crow l as see though, even though since the

219
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars have acquired Marcel Darius. They are average, are allowing

220
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: under three yards per carry. The run defense wasn't very

221
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: good before acquiring Darius, but crow Crow is turning back

222
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: to back games with at least ninety five scrimmage yards

223
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. He's averaging five point seven yards per

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: carry over the last two weeks, and Cleveland is gonna

225
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: have to try and run the ball to have any

226
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: hope in this game. And then I'm benching Duke Johnson,

227
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: though that excuse me. The Jaguars are pretty tough against

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: pass catching running backs and Browns or Duke's not can

229
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: get enough carries to warrant to start. As we said

230
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: at the time, all that those touchdowns that Duke Johnson

231
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: was was manufacturing earlier in the season, that wasn't gonna

232
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: keep going. And it hasn't. Nice little player, but he's

233
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: not a touch down score. Final matchup of this segment,

234
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Lions taking on the Bears, will begin with Matthew Stafford.

235
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Bears ranked top ten and passing yards allowed and in

236
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: the top five and passing touchdowns allowed. I don't love

237
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: this matchup. Stafford barely crossed two hundred yards passing last

238
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: time he played in Chicago. Didn't throw any touchdowns in

239
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: that game, and that marked the second time in the

240
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: last three seasons that he's failed to throw any touchdowns

241
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: in Chicago. This has been a tough spot for him,

242
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: so I'm nervous about Stafford, but he's been so hot.

243
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm still giving him a B grade here, but he'd

244
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: be closer to a scene than in a UH Staying

245
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: with the passing game, Golden take gets a C grade.

246
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Despite his one hundred yard game in Green Bay two

247
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He's been bad outdoors. Not one of his

248
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns since coming to Detroit has come in an

249
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: outdoor stadium, and in three games in Chicago, he's totaled

250
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. That's it gross. Bears have only allowed

251
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: one yard receiver all season, and that was Antonio Brown

252
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: in Week three. Golden Tate's good, He's not Antonio Brown good.

253
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: It goes back to last year, the Bears stifling number

254
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: one wide receivers. They shut him down. They do UH

255
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: C grade on on Golden Tate C grade and Marvin

256
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Jones hyper inconsistent. It's it feels like an exploitable match

257
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: up with Chicago corner Kyle Fuller, who has ranked eighty

258
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: nine by Pro Football Focus in two games of Chicago

259
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: last year, though he posted sixty seven yards and seventy

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: four yards, didn't score. I feel like that's about what

261
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from Marvin Jones this week. That puts

262
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: him in the C grade as well. Eric Ebron, I

263
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: feel like I have to mention because he scored last week.

264
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Chicago is an elite tight end defense. Do not chase

265
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: last week's flukey touchdown. Kenny Golladay only eleven snaps last week.

266
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: You can't start him until we start seeing more consistency

267
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: in playing time. Let's talk about Amerabdula go to the

268
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: running game suddenly getting gold line touches. Amir Abdula rushing

269
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in consecutive games. Bears run defense very middle of

270
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: the pack their fift in yards allowed. They're averaging ten

271
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, but they're likely without their run

272
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: stuffing linebacker Danny Trevathan in this game and the return

273
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: of Detroit's left tackle Taylor Decker definitely helps. Chicago's allowed

274
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns via the ground tied for the second most,

275
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: including three in just the last two weeks. So I

276
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: like a Mirrorbdullah be grade on a mirrorb dula this week.

277
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Let to go to the Chicago side because this won't

278
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: take long. There's only one startable player and that's Jordan Howard.

279
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: Get this. He has not scored a touchdown since Mitch

280
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: Trobinski took over. None and even John Fox, though, it's

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: gotta know that his team's best chance to win goes

282
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: through Jordan Howard. So I expect a lot of carries.

283
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Chicago's three wins of all cam and games that were

284
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: big Howard carry games, and Fox's job is dangling by

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: a threat. He has to manufacture wins, and all of

286
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: his wins comes in games are he pounds Jordan how Ward.

287
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened much, but they haven't won when the

288
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Bears have been favored, right, they don't have a win

289
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: never with John Fox's tenure in Chicago, they're owen six

290
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: in games in which they've been favored. By the way,

291
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: they've only been favored six times. As I meant by

292
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: not happening, I think seven because last week they were

293
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: favored to um against. You're right, you may be right

294
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: that now they're owen seventh. That could be uh Detroit

295
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: top ten run defense that that hasn't followed, that has

296
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: not stopped the Lions from giving up ten rushing touchdowns,

297
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: tied for second most in the league. So I think

298
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard does get a touchdown here and finds the

299
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: end zone again. He um. He did not score against

300
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Detroit in his rookie year, but he did rush for

301
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: almost two hundred yards in the two games against the lines,

302
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: the average five yards per carry. He gets an A

303
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: grade in this game, and you're benching the entire Chicago

304
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: passing game. Rabinsky has thrown one touchdown in his past

305
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: three games. He's failed the top one hundred sixty four

306
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: yards and all but one of his NFL starts. And

307
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about looking at don trelle Inman because

308
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: he's emerging as the go to receiver, yeah, well he

309
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: gets Darius Slay and he's on the sleigh ride, so

310
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: he's out to so nobody to go to their whatsoever.

311
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, nine players you can pick up

312
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: off of the waiver wire. We call it take a

313
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: chance on me on Fantasy Football Weekly. When we return. Ye, yes, yeah,

314
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: we're maintaining our lavor. I love it. You can salta

315
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: your way to the victory this week with these nine players,

316
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: many of them are available on the waiver wire. Let's

317
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: hear who we got for take a chance on me,

318
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: beginning with our quarterback position and Brian Johnson, I got

319
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: blame Gabert, who is now on the Arizona Cardinals if

320
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: you were wondering they are at Houston. The Texans have

321
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: allowed a league worst twenty one total touchdowns to quarterbacks.

322
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: They have also surrendered three yards passing and multiple touchdowns

323
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: to five of the last seven quarterbacks they have faced.

324
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: The Texans also allowing five point five yards per carry

325
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. And Gabett does have some wheels. And I

326
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: know his resume is not stellar by any means, but

327
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: please remember that he played for the Jaguars, the Jaguars

328
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: back in the dark ages and the forty Niners last

329
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: year who had no weapons whatsoever. He does have Larry Fitzgerald. Now,

330
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: so Gabritte has a shot on Sunday, all right, Actually

331
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that, all right, Matt,

332
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: This kind of sounds stupid, but I'm gonna take Andy

333
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: Dalton going against the Denver broncos Man. We only have

334
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: two hours. If you're gonna preface all of your statements

335
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: with this may sound stupid, then if we're look, we're

336
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna ride anyway. Denver is allowed a touchdown pass in

337
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: every game this season, and multiple touchdowns to three of

338
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: the last four quarterbacks they faced. They've also allowed the

339
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: fourth most touchdown passes in the league this season, but

340
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: the fourth least amount of receiving yard or passing yardage,

341
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: So it's likely a low yardage game. But there's a

342
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: good chance Dalton throw us two red zone touchdowns. So

343
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: if you're in a two quarterback league, plug him in.

344
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna get to When we hear more about this matchup,

345
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: I bet you're gonna tell me, like Tyler Croft, we'll

346
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: find out I've got it's not it's not a fantasy

347
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: football weekly season. If I haven't at least once gone

348
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: to bat for my guy stew Beard. Yes, you mean

349
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: ste Barba, Stu Barba. He's He's not. He's not playing

350
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. I'm just feeling it, right, I can

351
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: tell stew Beard. Brian Fitzpatrick has at least one touchdown

352
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: thrown in each of the three games that he has

353
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: played in for the Buccaneers. The Dolphins are surrendering the

354
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: sixth most passing touchdowns and four quarterbacks have thrown multiple

355
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns against them. The wildly inconsistent Cam Newton last week

356
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes against the Dolphins. I only need stew

357
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Beard to be half as good as new He can

358
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: do that now. Fitzpatrick's note first turnovers, but the Miami

359
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: passing ded has only had three interceptions all season. That's brutal,

360
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: So maybe it doesn't even hurt you with any negatives

361
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: here Stu Beard against Miami. Let's go to the running

362
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: back position, Brian, I have Seattle's J. D. Mckissic at

363
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: home against the Falcons. Mckissic is the clear cut pass

364
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: catching back with C. J. Pro Stice back on I R,

365
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: but he also appeared to take over is they featured

366
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: back in the second half last week when Thomas rowlves

367
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: only got one carry in the game that was still

368
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: very much in question. Mckissic looked good, average more than

369
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: five yards per touch on nine touches in Atlanta. It's

370
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: all about the pass catching here though. For mckissic. Atlanta

371
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: allows over six catches over eight targets per game to

372
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: running back, So Mkissic is a nice of the lad agreed.

373
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I've got Austin Ekeler, and this is all about the

374
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: Bill's defense just being terrible since Marcel Darius left. They're

375
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: averaging over six yards per carry in those two games

376
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: and giving up four seventy five rushing yards and seven

377
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in those twos. Unbelievable. It's it's insane. Ekeler

378
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: had a season high fifteen touches last week. His snap

379
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: percentage has gone up every week from the last in

380
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, from eleven percent to thirty three

381
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: percent last week. And Melvin Gordon has been pretty inefficient,

382
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: to say the least over the last couple of weeks.

383
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: He's also battling knee and foot issues, so they could

384
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: spell Gordon a little bit, give Eckler a little bit

385
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: more time on the field. Kenyan Drake goes up against

386
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and he's looked far better than Damian Williams.

387
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: They say that they're going to do it continue and

388
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: almost even time share, but you know, even if they do,

389
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Drake has been pretty good even in the time share.

390
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: But I think in the reality and sooner or later,

391
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: the cream rises to the top team. Coaches want to

392
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: win their games, and they put their best guy in

393
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: the field, and that's gonna be Kenyan Drake. He goes

394
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: up against a Bucks defense that's allowed one hundred plus

395
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: yards to opposing running backs in four of the last

396
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: six games. Let's go to the wide receiver position and

397
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: and or tight end of position. You could do either one, Bryan,

398
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: I usually go tight end, but I'm gonna go wide

399
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: receiver this week. Houston's Bruce Ellington at home versus Arizona.

400
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: More specifically, Ellington's at home versus not Patrick Peterson coverage

401
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: who he will likely or surely shadow DeAndre Hopkins in

402
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: this game. Seven will be ten wide receiver touchdowns allowed

403
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: by Arizona have come from number two wide receivers. Ellington

404
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: stepped up last week with Will Fuller banged up. Will

405
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: like the MRS game as well, caught four passes for

406
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: forty one yards on eight targets. So I'm like an Ellington. Okay.

407
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be a fantasy football weekly if Charched didn't

408
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: have Stu Beard, and it wouldn't be a fantasy football

409
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: weekly if I didn't pick on the Giants defense versus

410
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: a tight end. But Travis Kelsey is too easy. It

411
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: is too easy. So let's go Demetrius Harris tight end

412
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: against the Giants. I like the Giants have allowed top

413
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: five totals in targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns to tight ends.

414
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: They've allowed at least one tight end touchdown in every

415
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: game dating back to Week seventeen of last year. There's

416
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: enough for everybody to go around in this game. Demetrius

417
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: Harris is gonna starre touchdown. It's gonna be great. What

418
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: we talked on the podcast this day on Fanball, you

419
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: can play three tight ends. You might play boys will

420
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: play all three tight ends from our final take chance

421
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: to be player is former Minnesota Viking now Raven Mike Wallace.

422
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: Healthy for the first time and well basically all year

423
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: uh running most of his place from the left side

424
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: of the field. He's got a very winnable matchup against

425
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: Green based corner Devon House, who ranks as cornerback by

426
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. Packers secondary can be beaten a wide

427
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: variety of ways, but downfield speed guys in particular hammering them.

428
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: Josh Bellamy got loose deep for a touchdown against the

429
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: Packers last week. Week before that, the speedy Marvin Jones

430
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards in two touchdowns. Week before that, Ted

431
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Gin hundred forty one yards. Speed guys burn the Packers.

432
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: We know all about Mike Wallace. He's just cheap speed.

433
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's see if that can all come together. We'll take

434
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. More matchups, including Chiefs

435
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: versus the Giants. Are there any Chiefs to play other

436
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: than their three tight ends? Find out when we come back.

437
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: Fantaist see Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back to

438
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: the show. It is Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan.

439
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison with you. Matt.

440
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Let's dive right into your matchup. Chiefs take on the Giants.

441
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: We know we love all of our tight ends. It's

442
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: the matchup of a millennia for Travis Kelsey. He could live.

443
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: He's on pace for potentially a Hall of Fame career.

444
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: He could play ten more years from now, get enshrined

445
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 1: in Canton. He will never ever have a game that

446
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: looks better on paper with higher expectations going into a

447
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: game than Travis Kelsey has for this one. Yeah, he's

448
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: uh the top receiver on fanball this week to the

449
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: top the most expensive, most expensive receiver on and it

450
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, um, you can start Travis Kelsey, obviously,

451
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: you can start Demetrius Harris. Frankly, you can start Ross

452
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: Travis the third string tight end. We've got two targets

453
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: last week. How about this, Let's pull Tony Gonzalez out

454
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: of retirement and maybe Keith Cash and Walter White start

455
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: them to Tyree Hill. He gets an A grade. The

456
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Giants last two games, they've allowed twenty three yards to

457
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: per reception to rams wide receivers and twenty six yards

458
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: per catch to forty wide receivers. And that's three yards

459
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns on just sixteen completions, and Tyree Hill

460
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: averages twenty two point seven yards per catch, So he's

461
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: an easy A grade. Alex Smith getting an A grade.

462
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: Giants defense has allowed nine passing scores in the last

463
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: three games and uh multiple touchdown efforts in every road

464
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: game this year for Alex Smith, so he gets the A.

465
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt I'm getting in the bounce back game. I'm

466
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: making him a time no shot, Yeah, sorry, go ahead,

467
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: no Sean moreno moreno never mind, just keep going, Just

468
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: ignore me. Hunt, it's no Snacks Harrison. That's what I

469
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: was trying to go with. I was waiting. There was

470
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: not even close. No Snacks Harrison. Who's the run stuffing

471
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: the run stuffing lineman for the Giants in this game?

472
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: And that's gonna make things a lot easier in Kareem Hunt. Yeah,

473
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: Hunt hasn't hasn't done well. Really, he hasn't seen the

474
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: end zone since week three and and he's it's been

475
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: held under a hundred yards since Week seven. But he

476
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: did lock twenty two and twenty five touches over the

477
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: last two games. In the Giants defense is ranking twenty

478
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: eight and rushing yards per game four different running backs

479
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: have topped fifty yards and they've given up three running

480
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: back touchdowns in the last two games. So everybody's an

481
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: A on Kansas City. Let's go over to the Giant

482
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: side where I do have some starters. Orleans dark Well

483
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. He's averaging five point one yards

484
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: per carry. He's had seventeen touches per week over the

485
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: last four weeks. The Chiefs run defen ranks dead last

486
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: in d v O A, so this is kind of

487
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: only see. I think he's more like a B, don't you.

488
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a five yard per carry

489
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: guy against the dead last run defense and just worried

490
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: that the game flow manages him out of it and

491
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: then he can only get get maybe fifteen carries in

492
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: this I was just gonna say, you should have called

493
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: them Kansas City. What you gave him all took me

494
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: a while, Eli Manning, I'm giving a B. The Chiefs

495
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: ranked twenty eight and passing yards allowed, and since the

496
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: open or five different quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns. They've

497
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: also allowed twenty seven or more points than seven of

498
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: their last eight away games. So he gets to be

499
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: sterling Shepherd. He's a B, maybe even close to an A.

500
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: He's coming off a season high thirteen targets last week.

501
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: He gets a great matchup against Pro Football Focus is

502
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: lowest rated cornerback Philip Gaines, and the other corner that

503
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: rotates into the slot, who's Stephen Nelson. Got beat for

504
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: both of Cole Beasley's touchdowns before the I, so Shepard

505
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: won't see Marcus Peters at all. He's got a B too,

506
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: and a grade I got him a strong. He's my

507
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: number nine wide receiver this week. I love Sterling Shepherd, Well,

508
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: thank you, um Evan Ingraham, I'm giving a C grade two.

509
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: He's had touchdowns in four straight games. That could be

510
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: in jeopardy this week against the Chiefs, who have only

511
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: allowed one tight end touchdown all season, But they did

512
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: allow Jared Cook to top a hundred yards just two

513
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So I still got Evan Ingraham as a CEE.

514
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: He's the second best pass catcher that they have. This week. Agreed,

515
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals take on the Texans. Brian uh, It's been hot

516
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: and cold games for Adrian Peterson. Is this the explosively

517
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: good or explosively bad game for Adrian? We might be

518
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: looking at a replica of his twenty one kerry twenty

519
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: nine yard performance against Seattle last week. This matchup against

520
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: the Texans is almost equally as tough for um A p.

521
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: Houston ranks sixth against the run by Football Outsiders, and

522
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: the Texans have allowed just one rushing touchdown all year,

523
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: and that was the Wonard four net in Week one.

524
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: So Peterson gets a C this week over the passing game.

525
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: I love Larry Fitzgerald's gonna give him an a Houston

526
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: slot corner. Cream Jackson has allowed the most yards and

527
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: slot coverage despite being twenty in cover snaps. That means

528
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: he gives up big plays. Uh. He also owns a

529
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: hundred twenty nine point five quarterback raining rating when thrown

530
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: into his coverage, So you gotta like fits who has

531
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: seen plenty of volume even without Carson. Palmer has twenty

532
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty three targets over the last two weeks. UM. Now

533
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: to the other receivers, it's a great matchup on paper.

534
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: The Texans have allowed back to back a hundred and

535
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: seventy yard receivers and four one hundred yard receivers in

536
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, so I don't let's break him down.

537
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Starting with John Brown very questionable with a back injury

538
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: this week. I had him on the bench for that reason.

539
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: He can't be trusted. Geron Brown is really the play here, man.

540
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: I hate talking about John Brown and jern Brown. I

541
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: need nothing worse. Geron Brown is the play here, especially

542
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: if John Brown is ruled out. Geron averages twice as

543
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: many targets without John, so he gets the sea here

544
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: and I'm benching J. J. Nelson hasn't topped to catch

545
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: is or forty yards since Week five. Another pass catcher.

546
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: That's I'm liking Mori's Jermaine Gresham. I'm gonna give him

547
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a CE. Over the last two weeks, Gresham leads all

548
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: tight ends and red zone targets with five and has

549
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: scored in back to back games. The Texans are one

550
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: of six teams that have allowed at least fifty receptions

551
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: to tight ends this year. Uh. Blaine gabrat Was might

552
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback, and that is it

553
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: for Arizona going over to Houston. DeAndre Hopkins just to

554
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: be here usually an auto a, but he will draw

555
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Pat Pete, who has allowed just twelve catches all season.

556
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: That's one catch per every thirty cover snapsack. So Hopkins

557
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: can still get it done, but it's gonna be a tough, tough,

558
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: tough day for him. Uh. For that reason, Bruce Ellen

559
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: to who's might take a chance to me? Wide receiver

560
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: number two is I've had a lot of success against

561
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I also like c. J. Fedorowitz. I gonna

562
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: give him a C. He's averaging nearly eight targets in

563
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: the three and a half games with Tom Savage at quarterback,

564
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are allowing about five catches and fifty

565
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: yards per game to tight ends. That's double digit PPR points,

566
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: So that's a C grade for me. I am not

567
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: starting Tom Savage though I'm not snapping into the slim Jim.

568
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: I won't do the impersonation. Don't want he's on the bench.

569
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Even though I do think there's potential for his pass catchers,

570
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: They're not all going to have a good game in

571
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: this one, and Lamar Miller probably not gonna have a

572
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: good game either. Was averaging nineteen and a half touches

573
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: per game until the last two games. He's down to

574
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: twelve and a half touches over that span in Arizona.

575
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: Tough matchup. Ranked ninth against the run by Football Outsider. Yeah,

576
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: he was a guy that was best suited when there

577
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: was a quarterback to take some heat off him, and

578
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is not that guy. Vikings take on the Rams.

579
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the ram side of this first. Todd

580
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Gurley straight up awesome this year, but that's been in

581
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: no small part because of his pass catching prowess. But

582
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: the Vikings can stop him both ways, on the ground

583
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: and via the air. Vikings defense ranks number two in

584
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards per carry at only three point for their

585
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: number three and rushing yards allowed at only seventy two,

586
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: and the Vikings has seen a steady diet of elite

587
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: pass catching backs, none of them have done anything. So

588
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: I think this is a tough match for Todd Gurley

589
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: with the one catch, I don't think. I don't think

590
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: enders Todejo is gonna go. And we have seen some

591
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: lapses from the Vikings run defense in games when Sendejo

592
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: doesn't go, So that is the one asteris on what

593
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: is otherwise a B grade for Todd Gurley. If Sandeo

594
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: doesn't go, you could probably move him up to and

595
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: eight grade. Let's go to the passing game where Jared

596
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: Goff just gets a sea here. He's been great in

597
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: four games with three hundred passing yards. Those four games

598
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: we're against bottom six pass defenses, and that's not the Vikings.

599
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: Vikings are top ten and passing yards allowed, they're averaging

600
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: just one passing touchdown per game, and they haven't allowed

601
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: multiple passing touchdowns in a game since way back in

602
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: Week three. Four of the prior five Vikings opposing quarterbacks

603
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: failed to even throw it for two hundred ten yards.

604
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: So I don't like golf, and part of the reason

605
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: I like him is not like his matchups for his receivers.

606
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Robert Woods very likely is going to end up getting

607
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: Xavier Roads in this one, and Xavier Rhads might be

608
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: the best shutdown corner in the NFL right now. He

609
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: has meant the statistical death of virtually every opposing receiver.

610
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't like Robert Woods much at all, but I'm

611
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade just based on how good

612
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: he's been the last few weeks. Sammy Watkins probably gets

613
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: inferior coverage from Trey Wayne's, but frankly, Trey Waynes has

614
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better over the course of this season,

615
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: and the Vikings has only given up six wide receiver

616
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns all year, and only one wide out his top

617
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: sixty yards since Week three. So I don't even love

618
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins here, just a C grade for him. Cooper

619
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: Cups on the bench, He's second on the team and targets.

620
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: He's second in the NFL in red zone targets, which

621
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: is good, but it doesn't translate into fantasy points because

622
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: he scored only one time in the last five weeks.

623
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: The Vikings have only allowed one slot receiver over thirty

624
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: yards over the past six weeks, and they've shut down

625
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: guys like Golden Tate and Randall Cobb and Juju Smith Schuster.

626
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: Who are I think we're all at least as good

627
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: as Cooper Cup. Let's go to the Viking side. Start

628
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: with the running game. I've got S grades on Jerick

629
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: McKinnon and Latavia's Murray here. Um. Now, the Rams do

630
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: rank twenty nine and rushing yards allowed, which is great news.

631
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: The bulk that has come against excuse me, straight ahead

632
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: power rushers like Carlos Hyde and Zeke and Leonard four Nette.

633
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: That's not Jerk McKinnon's kind of game. He's not a

634
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: straight ahead power rusher, so maybe that means they're gonna

635
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: get more of the mundane stylings of Loatavius Murray, who's

636
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: averaging eighteen carries in his last three weeks. McKinnon is

637
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: still averaging fourteen carries though five targets the last five weeks,

638
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: so he gets his chances as well. If um, the

639
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: matchup is well suited for them, but because they split

640
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: everything pretty much down the middle, they both get C

641
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: grades here, and that is it. Let's go to the

642
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: passing game case Keenum gets a C grade in this one. Um,

643
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm cautious about his receivers. In fact, let me start

644
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: with the receivers so that will help better explain why

645
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: we've got to see in case, Adam Theeland is the

646
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: only player in the league's at least five receptions in

647
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: every game. But he goes up against ram slot corner

648
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Nicol Roby Coleman, who's allowed two touchdowns. The slot receivers

649
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: all season they held in check Jamison Crowder and Doug

650
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: Baldwin and Alan Hearns and Larry Fitzgerald. Only Sterling Shepherd

651
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: has broken the fifty yard mark from the slot against

652
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Roby Coleman all year. I think we owe him an apology.

653
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: I think we used to rag on him. There's ironically

654
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: named well and he just wasn't very good, but he

655
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: certainly has better. Not definitely funny what Wade Phillips will

656
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: do for a career. Wasn't just Roby before? Maybe I

657
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe he added a last name, maybe helped

658
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: him out. Maybe he married a fine woman with the

659
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: last name of Coleman and decided to take her name

660
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: and hyphenate. Could not rule that out. Uh so, uh,

661
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman is a little He's a little on the

662
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: slow side, and Adam Finland's game is all about burst

663
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: and quickness, so he does have an opportunity here, and

664
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: I still have be grade out him all right, Diggs

665
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Converging trends for Stefon Diggs, He's been awesome in the

666
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: three home games yards hundred seventy three yards and ninety

667
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: yards in the three he's played, um to two and

668
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns in those three games, but he draws excellent

669
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: cornerback Trumaine Johnson on the left side of the defense,

670
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: where he most often lines up, and fanball writer John

671
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Hollerd notes that Johnson has given up no touchdowns and

672
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: an average of three catches per game. That's it so,

673
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: and Diggs runs two thirds of his routes on his

674
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: side of the field, So I've only got a C

675
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: grade on Stefan Digs here. C grade. And Kyle Rudolph,

676
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: who has caught at least five passes in five straight games,

677
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: but hasn't gone over forty seven yards during that span,

678
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: and he's not scoring. He's unlikely to start stretching the

679
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: field against the Rams, who have shut down the likes

680
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Graham and Jordan Reed and Jason Witten here.

681
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: So just to see grade on Kyle Rudolph's That lastly

682
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: brings us to case Keenum with another C grade. That's

683
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: the overwhelming grade I've got on his receiving options. I'm

684
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to give a strong recommendation here they've got.

685
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: The Rams have posted twenty eight sacks on the season,

686
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: which is a lot, but case Keenum has only been

687
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: zack five times, which is amazing. The Rams secondary is

688
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: tough to Only three quarterbacks have thrown for more than

689
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: two d twenty five yards against a the ninth ranked

690
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: pass defense. Of the Rams, six quarterbacks have thrown zero

691
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: or one touchdown pass and that is usually what you

692
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: get in case Keen in most games, zero one touchdown pass.

693
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: I am not chasing last week's four touchdown performance. Let's

694
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: see if we can work in a phone caller too,

695
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Hello, Hello, Hi Aaron, Hey, how is it going good?

696
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: Thanks your patience. I appreciate it. A couple of questions here.

697
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: First one, quarterbacks, would you play car or Wilson this weekend?

698
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: That's a that's a tough, tough call, and on paper,

699
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: New England looks like the easier to match up, but

700
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: that defense is starting to turn things around a little bit.

701
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: I just Patriots a past defense over the last five

702
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: weeks is tenth best in the NFL. So there's If

703
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: you look at the season long rankings, they still look

704
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: like they're dead last, but if you shorten it to

705
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: the last ten weeks, they're actually quite good. Yeah, and uh,

706
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this game later, but I think it's

707
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: fixing to be a shootout, and I think Wilson will

708
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: be Uh. It was these teams met last year and

709
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: it was a shootout, so I'm expecting to repeat performance.

710
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: So I'll go with the dual threat quarterback here and

711
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: say Wilson all right, and then run backs Birkhead, Abdullah

712
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: or Collins from Baltimore. I still don't trust anything in

713
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: the New England backfield when you think you have it pegged.

714
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: And that's Birkhead this week, it Belichick flip flops on you.

715
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Abdulla, who charge to give a

716
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: feed right on? I'm gonna go. I'm gonna agree with

717
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: charge there and all right on Wood's Cooper or Sanders.

718
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: I know what you said, Woods, is probably gonna get

719
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Roads closed. So it's for sure Cooper and Sanders. That's

720
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. Yeah, guessing, yeah, I would go in Manuel Sanders.

721
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: I will get the most volume. I would think not

722
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: a great matchup. For you gave Sander's a starting grade.

723
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: I got him as a C. It's not a great matchup,

724
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: but I would still I like his chances better than

725
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: any Rams receiver this week. Yeah, I from the Vikings. Yeah,

726
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: thank you Aaron from the Vikings. I think we just

727
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: set his whole lineup. If from the Vikings, I shot

728
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: down Robert Woods, and I take my chances of Sammy Watkins. Ben, Hello,

729
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: thank you for your patients almost an hour on hold him.

730
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: Good morning guys. Let me do something really quick. Would

731
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: you trade and try to trade Robert Woods for tree

732
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: kill at all? Yeah, that's that's easy. Yes, absolutely, Uh,

733
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: he's hot right now, and you you trade a guy

734
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: while he's at his peak value. And I think Robert

735
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: Woods is at his peak value right now, and your

736
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: two cents medically standing, let's do Ryan or Hogan and Patriots.

737
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of should I drop the guy

738
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: to get Chargers defense. I have Seattle. I like Hogan

739
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: quite a bit when he when he does return, and

740
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: I think he's getting closer and closer. I'm not a

741
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: real doctor, but I have consulted online doctors and I

742
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: believe he will be back in a few weeks. Okay, thanks,

743
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Ben, We'll take a break when we come back.

744
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,640

760

761

Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Football Weekly guys should come meet steak

762

Speaker 1: I as well. Well, yeah, what's not to like? I mean,

764
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: you guys have notable local celebrities as well. Yeah, absolutely absolutely,

Speaker 1: be there, Dan Dan Giuliano will Dan absolutely really but

00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: Week ten winner Dan Giuliano will be there, and that

768
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: that'll be an exciting moment for all of us. We

Speaker 1: get a list of all the winners, so Matt and

770
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: I can start a petition and have them sign it.

771
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: But now Dan Giuliano, they can bring a guest. They

772
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: have the option to bring guest. Is our angle to

00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: Dan Giuliano any of the Charts Challenge winners? That's right,

774
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: find find me Twitter explosive out putting Brian's at bt

775
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: x J. That's right, we will be your dates for sure.

776
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: Hot question number one, who is the best way for

777
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: wire quarterback for the playoff run? Now, let me explain

778
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: playoff run and waiver wire playoff run his week's fourteen,

779
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen. If you play in week seventeen, you're doing

780
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: it wrong and you're not gonna get support from the show.

781
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: If and by waiver wire, this guy's got to be

782
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: available in half of my fantasy league leagues. So again

783
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: question number one, who is the best waiver wire quarterback

784
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: for the playoffs? Brian, I'm going deep here and I'm

785
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna go Uh. Denver's Paxton Lynch, who won't be starting

786
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: this week, but he is inching closer to starting, and

787
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: uh starting week twelve. He has a great schedule. It's

788
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: at Oakland in week twelve. I'm sorry, we're going only

789
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: week fourteen. Week fourteen is the Jets and then at

790
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: Indie and then at Washington. Those are all neutral, if

791
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: not plus matchups. Or Lynch who is very mobile or

792
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: was in college, so he has some excitement there. And hey,

793
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: he's got two great receivers into Mary's Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

794
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: So I do think he will start by the playoffs

795
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: for sure, and he does have some entasting matchup. Yeah,

796
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: I've got Blake Bortles. Yeah, Blake Bortles right there. Huh.

797
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs against Houston, San Francisco, and Tennessee, all three

798
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: of which are bottom ten past defense. As we just

799
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: saw Tennessee get lit up on Thursday Night. Dude through

800
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: fifty one times last week. And it's worth noting that

801
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles has never once lost a playoff game or

802
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Sounds like there was more to that

803
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: has never lost a Super Bowl. Blake portals very nice.

804
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: The correct answer is Jake Cutler owned and only of

805
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: leagues very improved, averaging two and a quarter touchdowns per

806
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: game over his last month of play and his two

807
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: main targets Jervis Landry Davante Parker healthy now and three

808
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: favorable matchups in the playoffs. New England currently the bottom

809
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: ranked past defense on the season. Buffalo the defense that's

810
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: getting worse by the week. They recently gave up three

811
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: straight three yard passing games, and Kansas City they ranked

812
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: past defense on the season. Correct answer, Jay Cutler. Question

813
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: number two, who is the best waiver wire running back

814
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: for the playoffs? This was the hardest one. Oh, by

815
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: the way, let me mention this, do you think you're

816
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna end up starting Jay Cutler? Well, hopefully not, but

817
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: you know if you're added to the playoffs, anything bad

818
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: could happen to your quarterback, and now you you need

819
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: somebody serviceable. If you're powering your way into the playoffs,

820
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that whatever starter is getting

821
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: you there. If anything happens that guy, you've got a backup.

822
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Or maybe that guy runs into the Jaguars in the playoffs,

823
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: You've got somebody else you can scramble to. That's why

824
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: we do this exercise. Who is the best waiver wire

825
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: running back for the playoffs? Matt, I have Kenyan Drake

826
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: like Like you said, the schedule for the Dolphins is

827
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: very favorable in the playoffs, New England, Buffalo, Kansas City.

828
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: And if your league go goes to Week seventeen, which

829
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: we don't recommend, they get Buffalo again. So that's just

830
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: fun times. Uh. Seven catches for eight two yards in

831
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown or seven runs for a t yards and

832
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, fifteen total touches and a hundred and

833
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 1: four yards the week before. He looks like the best

834
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: runner there. And that offense is really flowing a lot

835
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: better since ja ja I left and Kenyan Drake showed up. Uh,

836
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: he was my mature speculation last week on to go

837
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: with Houston's Danta Foreman, who um his carry's have been

838
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: going up in the last few games seen double digit

839
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: carries as Lamara Miller's touches are going down. Foreman's basically

840
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: a Miller injury away from being a fantasy factor. And uh,

841
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Miller got hurt last year. And starting in week fourteen,

842
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: he has San Francisco that could be a that could

843
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: be a very good matchup performan if you gets significant touches.

844
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: And then in week fifteen he has Jacksonville. In week

845
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: sixteen he has Pittsburgh. Those aren't great matchups, but those

846
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: are certainly matchups where the Texans will be forced to

847
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: run more than they aren't to pass. So I will

848
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: go to Anta Foreman. Uh yeah, I like the duck

849
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: anta Foreman angle as well, But that is not the

850
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: correct answer. The correct answer is DeVante Booker. By the playoffs,

851
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: Denver is gonna buy the playoffs. Denver will be out

852
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: of the real life playoff hunt by the time the

853
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs roll around. In it they that could be too.

854
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: They may well want to give their rookie runner a

855
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: long look to see if he's the answer for next

856
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: year or not, and they they face a bunch of

857
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: mediocre run defenses in the playoffs. The Jets, the Colts,

858
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: and the Redskins all teams that are just sort of

859
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: middle to pack run defenses. They all give up four

860
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: or four point one yards per carry. DeVante Booker owned

861
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: in of Fantasy league. See, I think Kenyan Drake is

862
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: not even in I. I gotta believe Kenyan Drake's owned

863
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: by way more than half of Fantasy league. So I

864
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's even eligible for this. Because if you were,

865
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: I think I would have taken Kenyan Drake. But I

866
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's eligible. Zanki's rostered everywhere at this point.

867
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: Devanny's hot question number three, Who is the best waiver

868
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: wire wide receiver for the playoffs? Brian real Quick. Booker

869
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: isn't really eligible either because he was my premature speculation

870
00:45:55,120 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. So they all are listeners already

871
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: have already, but he is. He is forty nine and

872
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: change percent owned in my Fantasy league leagues. All right,

873
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah, let's go to my New York Giants

874
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: and to Varus, you weren't doing your savage thing this week?

875
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 1: That was that wasn't That was awfully savage right there. Savage. Yeah,

876
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: uh no, that's like the stomaching. I'm not trying to,

877
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, up chuck here when I talk about the Giants.

878
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, Tavarus King clearly as the clear cut number

879
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: two receiver for the Giants. Opposing defenses will focus on

880
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd and Evan Ingram most likely. I'm gonna throw

881
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: in a bonus Week thirteen matchup at Oakland, one of

882
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: the sorry secondaries in the NFL. But in Week fourteen

883
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: it goes Dallas Philly than at Arizona. Uh Patrick Peterson

884
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: will certainly be on Sterling Shepherd in that Arizona matchup.

885
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: So I let's go to Varus King because he is

886
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: the second wide receiver on that team. Okay, I've got

887
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: Mark Tavis Bryant because he's been just dropped outright in

888
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot of different places. And I didn't check the

889
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: ownership percentage on you sprung this ownership per edge on

890
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: me like late in this five tough questions things. So

891
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: I got Martevis Bryant. He gets Baltimore, New England, and

892
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: Houston in the last three weeks, New England and Houston

893
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: are super plus matchups for for the Steelers, and frankly Martevis,

894
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: Bryant's gotta get his head together and gotta get back

895
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: in good graces with the Steelers coaching staff because this

896
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: is really his maybe last shot in the league. He's

897
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: already been suspended for a full season. He's got to

898
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: get back in good graces so he can go into

899
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs and and be a difference maker for the Steelers.

900
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: Correct answer is markis Goodwin owned and only forty three

901
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: percent of leagues he will be. Now if if part

902
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: of Brian's rationality he liked the number two receiver that

903
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: you can go get, how about a number one receiver

904
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: for a team. Now, granted it's not a good offense,

905
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: but by the time the fantasy playoffs roll around, who's

906
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: his quarterback going to be? Jimmy Garoppolo. That will be

907
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: a massive upgrade quarterback. The first two weeks of the

908
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: playoffs are delicious, Houston ranking twenty and passing yards allowed

909
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: to receivers in passing touchdowns allowed to receivers. Tennessee is

910
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: the week after that. No team has allowed more wide

911
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: receivers scores than the Tennessee Titans. For those first two weeks,

912
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Marquis Goodwin genuinely startable and you watched they'll be he'll

913
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: be take a chance on me guy. In those weeks.

914
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: His nickname is Marquise to the Castle, by the Way

915
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: to the Castle. It was also a premature speculation of

916
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 1: mine a few weeks before Davante Booker, should Fantasy owners

917
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: drop James White? Matt So in the last three weeks,

918
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: his touch counts have gone from nine to seven to five.

919
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: His snap percentage has gone from thirty one to twenty

920
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: three to sixteen. That's all since Rex Burkhead came back.

921
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead took over that job. And really, if you're

922
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: playing fantasy, it's best not to have Patriots running backs

923
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: and try to deal with that scenario Tony given time. So, yeah,

924
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: I think you can dropped James White. Okay, that's where

925
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: I was leaning. But well, obviously non PPR leagues, you

926
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: can drop James Waite. He's totally worthless there. But in

927
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: PPR I'm holding he's always always The overarching always assumption

928
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: for the show is half point PPR. So every listener

929
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: knows that, well, you should, but time clarifying every now

930
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: and again we do that, okay, Anyway, he is a

931
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: lot for four to five catches the game. Still, I

932
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: think even with burke Head back in the mix, White

933
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: is second among running backs and red zone targets, and

934
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: over the last four weeks, Waite has seen more than

935
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: of New England's red zone targets. That is a healthy share.

936
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: So that's something I can't give up. I'm not saying

937
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: you have to start him every week, but I am

938
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 1: still holding onto James Waite. Correct answer is we're gonna

939
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: kick him to the curb. He has scored in two

940
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: of the last three weeks, but James White touchdowns are,

941
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: let's face it, very flukey. And to Matt's point, he's

942
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: down to five and a half touches per game over

943
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Find you just can't be fantasy

944
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: relevant on five and a half touches per aime Lewis

945
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: is a better runner. Burkeheads a better runner for sure,

946
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: um and the schedule only as one opponent in the

947
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: bottom third. I went back. I went looked at the

948
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: entire rest of the New England Patriots schedule against running

949
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: backs through the air, and they only have one compelling

950
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: matchup left this season For the rest of the way,

951
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: and it's Oakland and it's Sunday. So if you don't

952
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: play him here at Oakland, you're never gonna start. James

953
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: White cue the Mariatchi music. Yeah, we should have exactly,

954
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: We just referenced it. Yes, so we will drop James.

955
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: Watch Hot question number five, which is the real Leonard Fournette,

956
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: the consistent workhorse we saw in the first portion of

957
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: the season or the flaky, injured and suspended version we've

958
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: seen in the last month. Brian, Uh, I don't know

959
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: if you recall about five or six weeks ago, you

960
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: asked a hot question about Leo Fournette if you could

961
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: sustain his ridiculous touchdown pre game pace. Back then, I

962
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: was a little worried about his durability and I said no,

963
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: because at that point in the season he was on

964
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: pace for three plus carries. In his last year at

965
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: l s U, we only had a hundred and twenty

966
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: nine carries, So I was worried he you would hit

967
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: the wall. He kind of has injury wise, with this

968
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: ankle issue that won't go away, and now he appears

969
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: to be a bit of a knucklehead breaking all these

970
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: team rules. So right now, the real Leonard Fournett is

971
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: the injured flakey version. I don't hopefully he's not that

972
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: in the long term, but right now, people who just

973
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: care about this year, so I will say injured slash flakey. Okay, yeah,

974
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: Brian hit all of my salient points there. It just

975
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: looks bad because of how Foreignet is already on the

976
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: injury report again this week. I don't want to deal

977
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: with it right now. Letting Fournet has been a workhorse

978
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: back throughout his time at l s U. He's a

979
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 1: free kish talent. We've already seen it. He's a three

980
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: down back. We've seen that high first round pick. Those

981
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: guys get every benefit of the doubt to stay on

982
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: the field even when they do dumb stuff. He's a

983
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: young kid who will probably not make the same mistakes

984
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: that he's making now, in part because he's getting the

985
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: discipline that he deserves. He is. He's in the middle

986
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: of an utterly Monday an ankle injury that we will

987
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: never remember. In a couple of weeks, he will be

988
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: a top five ranked running back in everybody's preseason rankings

989
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: next year, and we will never remember this bump in

990
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: the road. Bonus question the rare six hot question from

991
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: email or Tony who wants to know Tar tar Nowski?

992
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: Who wants to know where is in the zone? Because

993
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: this show sucks. Mattuh Gophers having a eleven AM start today,

994
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: which means we go early, change the station, bro Bills

995
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers. Bills take out the Chargers. Matt

996
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: and for the Bills, Leshawn McCoy. Awesome games, terrible games.

997
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: You don't always know when they're coming. But this is

998
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: a Charger's run defense that's been pretty bad for most

999
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: of the year. What do you think about Lashawn McCoy

1000
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: this week? So I gave him a B grade. He's

1001
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: one of just five players averaging at least twenty two

1002
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: touches per game. Unfortunately, he's only averaging two points sven

1003
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry on the road, and the Charger defense

1004
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: has allowed just one rushing touchdown and one one yard

1005
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: rusher in the last five weeks. And a lot of

1006
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: that coincides with Denzel Perriman, who came back from I R.

1007
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: He's a good run stuffer. Uh. The Chargers held the

1008
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars running backs to twenty one carries for forty five

1009
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: yards when you exclude Corey Grant's fifty two yard fake

1010
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: punt gain. So it was it was it was two

1011
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry last week. So uh, that's why he

1012
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: gets knocked down to a B. The the load of

1013
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: carries is still going to be there though. The passing game,

1014
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: on the other hand, Uh, everything changed because Nathan Peterman

1015
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: is now the starter. He and the rest of the

1016
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: passing game, including Calvin Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, and Charles Clay

1017
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: are on the bench. The Chargers have the number six

1018
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: d v O A pass rated defense and they ranked

1019
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: second in the NFL and sacks with twenty nine. Peterman

1020
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: is going to be under durest this whole game. Calvin

1021
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: Benjamin also has to deal with Casey Hayward. Chargers defense

1022
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: has only allowed opposing receivers to score one touchdown in

1023
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: their last three games, and they've only allowed one touchdown

1024
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends all year, yet to allow a

1025
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards of the position. So Clays on the bench too.

1026
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: Over on the San Diego it's not San Diego anymore,

1027
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: it's Los Angeles the Chargers side. Uh, Melvin Gordon's getting

1028
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: an a. New Orleans has twenty four straight second half.

1029
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans last week had twenty four straight second half

1030
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: rush running plans. They scored six touchdowns on the ground

1031
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: against the Bills last week, and I mentioned a lot

1032
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: of the Marcel Darius stats when I when I talked

1033
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: about Austin Eckler, who might take a chance on me runner.

1034
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: That's why Melvin Gordon's getting in a There's enough to

1035
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: go around here. The passing game, however, it's not as

1036
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: easy Philip Rivers is getting to see. The Bills have

1037
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: only allowed one multiple touchdown game, and the rush defense

1038
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: is just so bad that nobody's throwing on them at all.

1039
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Derek Carr, and Drew Brees combined for one

1040
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass against the Bills. They don't need to They

1041
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: don't need to throw. That's why Keenan Allen's only getting

1042
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: a c He's had with just one fifty yard showing

1043
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. Hasn't scored a touchdown since

1044
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: Week one. The Bills have allowed just four receiving touchdowns

1045
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 1: all year, but they've given up a couple of big

1046
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: games to wide receivers A J. Green, Michael Thomas, de

1047
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, and Mike Evans all had great games. That's

1048
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: why Allen's frankly not on the bench right here, and

1049
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: he's still getting a C. Hunter Henry is on the

1050
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: bench though. Two targets in consecutive games so frustrating, and

1051
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: the matchups just not there. So Hunter Henry's on the bench.

1052
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: It's so hard to know when the Hunter Henry good

1053
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: game is coming, very difficult to decide for that fucking

1054
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: Here's take on the Dolphins, Brian I I had Ryan Fitzpatrick,

1055
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: Stu Beard has might take a chance and the quarterback

1056
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: he gets Mike Evans back. What do you think of

1057
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: their elements of the passing game here? Like DeShawn Jackson, Yeah,

1058
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: Evans will give him an easy he's pretty angry too,

1059
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: so I kind of like that factor. Deshaun Jackson, though,

1060
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: still is a boomer bus candidate. Give him a C

1061
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: grade with a potential though, that's boomer bust right there right.

1062
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: Miamis allowed seven wide receiver touch hounds in their last

1063
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: five games. Hey, if Johnny Holton and Marvin Hall can

1064
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: score on Miami, why not Deshan jockson Johnson Jackson? Uh,

1065
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: can you guess what teams Johnny Holton and Marvin Hall

1066
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: play for by the way, no question seven Oakland in Atlanta.

1067
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: There you go. We all learned something today. Ms Jockson

1068
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: already miss Jockson Cameron break and give him a c

1069
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: to uh just one catch in each of his last

1070
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: few games. But my Miami has allowed these second most

1071
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: catches and tenth most yards to tight ends. I cannot

1072
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: talk today. And Matt you did you did? Didn't you

1073
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: have some great great stat last week? When McCown throws

1074
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: the tight ends, he's like better than Uncle Rico throwing

1075
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: that football over the mountain. It was it was Fitzpatrick

1076
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: throwing too tight ends. He had just this insane look.

1077
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: Uh hopefully propefully does that break and charges take a

1078
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: chance on the quarterback. Was Fitzpatrick, as he said, I'll

1079
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: give over the running game. Give Doug Martin to be

1080
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: averaging a solid fifteen and a half carries per game.

1081
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: Not posting great numbers, but that's kind of auto start

1082
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: volume for me. Muscle hamster has gone catchless and each

1083
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: of the last two games he's been a bad Hamster

1084
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: in that regard. But the good news is at Miami's

1085
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: bottom ten in rushing yards allowed and has given up

1086
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: the third most rushing touchdown, so Martin is startable over

1087
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: to Miami chart. You're gonna hate this, but I'm giving

1088
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry and a plus in PPR and an A

1089
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: minus and standard a lot. Now this is justified. You

1090
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: can't go the plus and minus park in PPR. You

1091
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: can't because Landry, aside from Antonio Brown, already played this week,

1092
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: so he has an extra game. And actually Andry has

1093
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: two less games in Brown. But Landry's first and catches

1094
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: among wide receivers thirty third in yards. That's hard to

1095
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: think about, and you should see the players above him.

1096
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty ugly, but he has touchdowns in five of

1097
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: six and uh five of his last six, and Tampa

1098
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: is just getting shredded by wide receivers. That's why I'm

1099
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: also giving Davante Parker and a The Bucks have surrendered

1100
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: at least one wide received wide receiver touchdown in seven

1101
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: of nine games. And Parker is very consistent when healthy,

1102
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: as he pretty much is right now and has a

1103
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: very high ceiling. Kenny Stills, I didn't give him a

1104
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: CEE basically a bonus take a chance on me player

1105
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: averaging nearly eight targets per game over the last four

1106
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: has at least five catches and sixty five yards and

1107
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: three of those four games, and there have been six

1108
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: secondary outside wide receivers who have at least ninety five

1109
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: yards or score a touchdown against Tampa Bay this year.

1110
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: So Stills is startable. Julius Thomas, she's just barely out

1111
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: of ce territory for me. Has scored in back to

1112
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: back weeks, but just two catches last week. Opposing tight

1113
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: ends are averaging less than four catches and forty five

1114
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: yards per game against the Bucks, so I have Thomas

1115
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: on the bench. Jay Cutler is startable, though he gets

1116
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: a C. Does certainly as be potential in this matchup,

1117
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: averaging two plus touchdowns over his last four starts. Tampa

1118
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: Bay has given up at least two hundred sixty passing

1119
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: yards and one touchdown in eight of nine games this year.

1120
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: That's probably a safe floor for Cutler and Damian Williams.

1121
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: I will give a C because he's technically of the starter.

1122
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: Has seen ten plus touches and two games post j

1123
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: j I E, but has been far less productive than

1124
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. You're take a chance to be running back charge.

1125
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: I agree, he is much better play all right. When

1126
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll continue with our matchups, including Redskins

1127
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: at the Saints. Any of you picked up Soma J.

1128
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: P Ryan, will you start him right off the back

1129
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: this week? We'll tell you when we come back. Your

1130
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Welcome back

1131
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: to the show is Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan.

1132
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: They get a segment filled with matchups coming right now,

1133
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: but next segment premature Speculation and Lightning Round with a

1134
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: special a special dedication in Lightning Round, Let's jump into

1135
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: the matchups, beginning with Redskins taking on the Saints. Start

1136
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: with the Redskin side in the running game, Chris Thompson

1137
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: to be here. He will get a few more carries

1138
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: with Rob Kelly now and I are, but the bulk

1139
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: of his value will still come through the air like always.

1140
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Thompson averaging five receptions and the Saints owned bottom ten

1141
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: rankings in completions, receptions and receiving yards to running backs

1142
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Kirkhuz Kirkhovs Cousins averaging thirty eight pass attempts in the

1143
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: last five weeks, and the Saints should stick with the

1144
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: pass as they try to keep pace with the Saints.

1145
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: So I like Thompson here. Staying with the running game,

1146
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: what about Somer g p Ride. Many people were scrambling

1147
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire to go get him this week.

1148
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Only a C start here though, Yeah, he will get

1149
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: the majority of the carries with Rob Kelly on I

1150
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: R last week average four yards per carry against Minnesota,

1151
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: which doesn't sound good, But the Vikings only give up

1152
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: three point four yards per carry, so we actually outperformed

1153
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: what most runners do against the Vikings. Um. I can

1154
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: see Washington just giving up on running the ball game.

1155
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Flow is definitely working against Perryn for sure in this one,

1156
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: and and I alluded to that earlier with the Cousins

1157
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight pass attempts. Now, the Saints shut down La

1158
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy last week. They shut down Doug Martin the

1159
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: week before that. Prior to that, they were gouged though

1160
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: by Jordan Howard and Aaron Jones, straight ahead power runners

1161
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: like Parne. So maybe maybe there's an angle here, but

1162
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: only a C grade and you're hoping for a touchdown

1163
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: out of paren Let's go to the passing game. Kirk

1164
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Cousins only a see. I do think he throws a

1165
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: lot here. Um, but Washington's Saints. The Saints have a

1166
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: really good past defense, their number one over during their

1167
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: seven game winning streak, They've got the number one ranked

1168
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: past defense, only giving up one hundred sixties seven passing

1169
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's it. But they haven't played anybody

1170
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford was the only one they played that

1171
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: was any good, zero or one touchdown passes in six

1172
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: of the seven games that they have played during the

1173
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: seven game winning streaks. So I Scott say Cousins with

1174
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: the sea here and part of it, because you know,

1175
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: try to find whose great target is. I mean, who's

1176
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: the target that's gonna blow up with the big game.

1177
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I told you I like Chris Thompson through the air,

1178
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's going to be explosive.

1179
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder maybe over the past two weeks he's averaged

1180
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: eight catches in one yards per game, but over the

1181
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: past five games, New Orleans owns top five rankings and catches, targets,

1182
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and touchdowns allowed to opposing whiteouts. Crowder does

1183
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: draw the easiest cornerback matchup though, slock eyed P. J. Williams,

1184
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: and so he gets a startable grade here. Uh. Jordan

1185
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: reads out. But Vernon Davis is on the bench anyway.

1186
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Because the Saints have yielded the fewest catches and receiving

1187
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: yards to opposing tight ends among all teams this season,

1188
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: he's out. Josh Dockson's volume remains too low. We can't

1189
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: trust him either, and he probably hooks up with Rookie

1190
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: of the Year candidate Marshawn Lattimore. Pro Football focuses highest

1191
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: rated cornerback, so a bench grade for Josh Dockson as well.

1192
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Let's go to the New Orleans side. Uh, Mark Ingram

1193
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: has become a guy that we can just now say

1194
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: obvious a start and move on to because he's become

1195
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: that good in that bankable. Alvin Kamara meanwhile, leads the

1196
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: NFL and yards per carry at six and a half

1197
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: and a ppr juggernaut averaging six receptions for fifty yards

1198
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: through the air since week number three. We're getting close

1199
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to giving him an obviously, he is getting close, right,

1200
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: So the six catches for fifty yards, you're getting ted

1201
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: gain for free with Alvin Camara's receiving yards, and then

1202
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: all those rushing yards is on top of that. At

1203
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: by the way, six and a half yards per carry

1204
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: for Kimara. This one stat from the rb Scout on

1205
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Twitter of Alvin Kamara's touches the resulting a gain of

1206
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: ten or more yards. It's ridiculous. He's so good, it

1207
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: really is. He faces a Washington defense that's allowed the

1208
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: fourth most running back receptions and the sixth most running

1209
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: back yards through the air. So an a grade for

1210
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Camara as well a grade. And as we turn to

1211
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the passing game for Michael Thomas, he runs uh less

1212
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: than his routes from the right hand side. That means

1213
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: he's mostly gonna avoid Josh Norman, and that's the key

1214
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: anytime you can avoid Norman. And really, actually the Vikings

1215
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: went at Norman and had plenty of success, but avoiding

1216
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: him makes it even easier. He's mostly going to see

1217
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: but Shot Brelan Profo Ball focuses one ranked cornerback. Over

1218
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: the past five weeks, no team has allowed more wide

1219
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns than the Redskins have. Thomas a grade. Ted

1220
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Gin gets a C grade. He lines up on the um.

1221
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: He lines up on the side for Josh Norman, so

1222
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: I think he's got a much tougher draw here, but

1223
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: they've started shifting him into the slot, and that means

1224
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: he could draw Kendall Fuller affair amount and Fuller just

1225
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: got roasted by Adam Feeling, who is a a speed

1226
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: guy of sorts as well a quickness guy, and so

1227
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Gain could have some success from the slot that way.

1228
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: Drew Breese gets a B grade thanks the league's best

1229
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: rushing attack. Drew Brees languishing in terms of passing attempts.

1230
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: To get this guy's over the last three games, He's

1231
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: thrown and twenty five passes, and I was thinking to myself, man,

1232
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: that's crazy low output for Drew Brees. So I went

1233
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: back through his all of his career game logs. It's

1234
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: been thirteen years since he went three games without topping

1235
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: twenty eight pass attempts. A what a guess per Due, Yeah, well,

1236
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: well I had to go to two thousand five. It's

1237
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: been that long, and that will probably be the case

1238
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: here as well. As we continue to love uh Ingram

1239
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: and camera. All right, let's move on to our next matchup,

1240
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: and that is Baltimore taking on the Green Bay. Bob

1241
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore is gonna win this game. By the way, This

1242
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: is going Baltimore defense. Very unexciting game for reality fantasy.

1243
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Let's start here. I want to hear your thoughts on

1244
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead week number one of availability. By the way,

1245
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: they're expected to activate him today, so technically he hasn't

1246
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: even been activated, but we'll find out. So it's your

1247
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: last chance at a premature speculation of Danny Woodhead. Uh.

1248
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: He's going to return. Terence West is also going to return.

1249
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: We still have Buck Allen, and we still have Alex Collins.

1250
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: This backfield is just muddy. I don't want any part

1251
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: of it. This week, the Packers have actually allowed the

1252
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: ninth fewest receiving yards to opposing running backs. So I

1253
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: have Wouldhead, Allen, and West on the bench. I'm giving

1254
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Alex Collins just a tepid ce. Uh. West looks like

1255
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: he's returning. Collins averages two yards more per carry than

1256
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: West does, and six backs have gone over a hundred

1257
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: yards or scored a touchdown against the Packers this season.

1258
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, I'm giving a C minus minus minus. Uh.

1259
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: He hasn't passed for two D seventy yards all year.

1260
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: He only hit the two touchdown mark once, but his

1261
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: top two receivers, Mike Wallace and Jeremy Macklin are both

1262
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: going to be healthy and on the field at the

1263
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: same time. And prior to the gimme last week at Chicago,

1264
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: green Bay's defense had allowed an average of three nine

1265
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: passing yards over the last three games. Charch already talked

1266
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: about how he liked Mike Wallace. As they take a

1267
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: chance on a wide receiver, I go. I gave Jeremy

1268
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Maclin a C as well. Maclin's shoulder is as healthy

1269
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: as it's been since the beginning of the year, and

1270
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: the two games prior to the bye, he scored in

1271
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: one and hit ninety eight yards and the other. The

1272
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: past defense for green Bay's bad. They've allowed the fourth

1273
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: most receptions and six most yards to wide receivers and

1274
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: slot corner to Marius Randall should be facing Macklin. He's

1275
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: Pro football focuses one covers grade among hundred and sixteen cornerbacks.

1276
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: So Macklin gets a CE, maybe even a b um.

1277
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Packers side where Jamal Williams I'm

1278
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. Aaron Jones is out. It

1279
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: looks like Ty Montgomery is trending that way as well.

1280
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: But the Ravens run defense is really good. And they've

1281
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: been dominating us since Brandon Williams returned to defensive tackle.

1282
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: In two games prior to the by, Baltimore allowed forty

1283
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: five rushing yards and forty five rushing yards to the

1284
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Titans running backs combine. But Jamal Williams is

1285
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,439
Speaker 1: going to get all the work because there's just nobody else,

1286
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: So uh, he gets a C grade. Brett Hunley is

1287
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: on the bench. Though the Ravens have held seven of

1288
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: nine quarterbacks they faced to one touchdown or less and

1289
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: seven of nine to twenty passing yards are less. Brett

1290
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Huntley has got a growing injury that he's been kind

1291
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: of limping through this week as well, and Baltimore has

1292
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: more interceptions thirteen than touchdowns allowed this year. That kind

1293
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: of works into Brett Hunley's game right there. That does.

1294
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: That's perfect. Uh. Davante Adams is the only receiver I

1295
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: can give a C grade seed I wouldn't start anybody else.

1296
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,919
Speaker 1: He faces Jimmy Smith, who doesn't leave the right size.

1297
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: Adams plays roughly half of his snaps from that position,

1298
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: but he has thirty three targets to Jordy's twenty four

1299
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: from Hunley this season. That's why Jordy's on the bench.

1300
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: His average game without Aaron Rodgers two point six catches

1301
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards. You no touchdowns? Gross? That is gross.

1302
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: We'll take a break when we come back. Falcons take

1303
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks in a game in which the Seahawks

1304
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be very, very shorthanded offensively and defensively. We'll

1305
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: talk about that matchup plus lightning round in premature speculation

1306
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: when we return Distinct Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan

1307
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. We're gonna dive right into the matchups

1308
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: because we are behind time right now. Falcons take on

1309
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Brian the Seahawks deeply shorthanded on defense. Cam

1310
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: Chancellor just went on, I are. Richard Sherman on I

1311
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: are and what I mean? I'm just went on I

1312
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: are like an hour ago. Luke Joke Will not expected

1313
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: to go from their offensive line. Dwayne Brown not expected

1314
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: to go from their offensive line. Seattle comes into this

1315
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: game deeply shorthanded. I like a lot of Falcons. What

1316
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: do you how about you? Yeah, you gotta like the

1317
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Falcons pass game. Uh. They actually thrived last year with

1318
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: a healthy Seattle secondary when they played in Seattle. I'll

1319
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: start with Matt Ryan. He had three thirty five yards

1320
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in that meeting last year. Seattle secondary

1321
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: is obviously ailing. As you just mentioned. Ryan has thrown

1322
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: for multiple scores and three straight games. Also been very

1323
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: good on the road, averaging two eighty seven passing yards

1324
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: and throwing for two touchdowns and every away game this year.

1325
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: So I had him as a BE but I'm bumping

1326
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: up to an A with this leacred secondary even though safe.

1327
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: You're earl Thomas might make his return, but he's not

1328
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: at a hundred percent if he does by any means um.

1329
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, Julio Jones, who I had as a b U.

1330
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: He had a good game last year in this matchup,

1331
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: seven catches for a hundred three nine yards in a touchdown,

1332
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: and if you recall, he was jobbed on a non

1333
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: pass interference call late in the game that cost him

1334
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 1: to win where he had Sherman beat for another big game,

1335
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: So he was pushing two hundred yards in that game.

1336
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: So I'm bumping him up from a B D and

1337
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: A now now with this banged up secondary, So you're

1338
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: obviously starting Julio. You can start Muhammed Sanu as well,

1339
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: UH and giving him a C. Sanno runs mainly from

1340
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 1: the slot, which should put him in justin Coleman's territory.

1341
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: He was plus and coverage. But without Sherman they might

1342
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: kick Coleman to the outside now, so who knows? Who

1343
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: knows how that secondary is gonna shake up? So Snow

1344
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: is startable with the C grade. UH, so is Austin Hooper. Uh.

1345
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: Seattle has allowed four the last five tight ends they

1346
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: faced to catch at least four passes and and hit

1347
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: sixty yards. So I like Hooper in this matchup too.

1348
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: And you gotta like Tepn Coleman with no Davante Freeman

1349
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: who's at with a concussion, and give Coleman a B.

1350
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: He's in for an expanded role here. It is a

1351
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: tough matchup. The Seahawks are allowing just one d one

1352
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game and have allowed the second fewest

1353
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 1: receptions to run backs, but they have allowed eight total

1354
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: touchdowns to the position, including five in the past three games.

1355
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: So Coleman is a pretty solid start over to the Seattle.

1356
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: You mentioned the woes on the offensive line. That's causing

1357
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: me to to bump a few of these guys down.

1358
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: I had Russell Wilson as an A. I'm gonna put

1359
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: him down to a B. And that caller who I

1360
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: told told to start Wilson over car I'm kind of

1361
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: flip flopping there with this old line revelation. So yeah,

1362
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: it's bad. And other than Aaron Rodgers, no quarterback has

1363
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: topped two and sixty five yards against Atlanta or two

1364
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. They have given up good numbers on the ground.

1365
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Two guys like Cam Newton and Dak Prescott both scored.

1366
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: So Wilson's definitely startable, but he's gonna be running for

1367
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: his life in this one. Um, Doug Baldwin, he did

1368
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: not have a good game when these teams met last year.

1369
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonnave him just to be he's a borderline. See

1370
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta has allowed just one one dred yard game to

1371
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: wider a wide receiver, and uh only one wide receiver

1372
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,839
Speaker 1: as scored multiple touchdowns against against them. This year, Baldwin

1373
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: will see a heavy dose of Brian Pool though, who

1374
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: is the second who allows the second highest catch percentage

1375
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: among quarterbacks per Pro Football Focus. So you're still starting him.

1376
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm Benjing, Tyler Lockett, and Paul Richardson, though, uh, Jimmy Graham,

1377
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C. I had him as

1378
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: a B. But he might be doing a lot of

1379
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: blocking in this game. That's the worry. Six touchdowns in

1380
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: his last five games, though multiple touchdowns in two of

1381
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 1: his last three. Gotta start him. But he's going to

1382
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,440
Speaker 1: be in line for some old line duty in this one, unfortunately.

1383
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: And Thomas Rawls I have on the bench with this

1384
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: this banged up old line. Only one carry in the

1385
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: second half last last week, so he is certainly on

1386
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: the decline. I don't think he was ever on the

1387
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: incline this season, so that is why J. D. McKissick

1388
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me running back. He

1389
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: should get a lot done through the air, and he

1390
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: was basically the featured back last week in the second half.

1391
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Injuries play a big factor in the Eagles at Cowboys

1392
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 1: as well, because Dak Prescott once again will be without

1393
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: his left tackle, Tyron Smith. Prescott sacked eight times last

1394
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: week without him there six from that side, and Smith

1395
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: is gonna miss another game, and that means Eagles defense.

1396
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Event Vinny Curry gets to just tee off on him,

1397
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: and Curry is way better. Uh than was it Clayborn? Yeah,

1398
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: it's Claiborne who notch the the six sacks last week.

1399
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: So Curry Currier ranks sixteenth the month defensive ends by

1400
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 1: Profo Ball Focus. So I'm nervous about Dak. He's all

1401
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the way down to a C grade here because of

1402
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: this matter and seeing how it all worked out last week.

1403
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: After a shaky start to the season, the Eagles secondary

1404
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: has improved dramatically over the last month, the Eagles giving

1405
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: up two nine passing yards and barely one touchdown pass

1406
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: per game. So Dad's just a C grade here. Dez

1407
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: Bryant just a C grade as well. He hasn't top

1408
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: fifty yards in three games, and I worry about Dak

1409
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: having enough time in the pocket to find downfield. The

1410
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: good news, you're your glimmer hope for Dez Brian is

1411
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: that big bodied receivers have tended to do the best

1412
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, and obviously Dez is a big, physical receiver.

1413
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Jason Witten just to see here as well. Um a

1414
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: little bit like Jimmy Graham worried he's gonna have to

1415
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time blocking unfortunately, and that may

1416
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: be the case for Jason Witten as well. We're gonna

1417
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: keep the whole running game on the bench, though. Alfred

1418
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: Morris difficult task this week. He goes up against the

1419
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: number one ranked run defense in the NFL, Philadelphia, giving

1420
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: up just sixties six rushing yards per game and an

1421
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: NFL low twenty nine first downs on the ground. Morris

1422
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: is also going to be on the wrong side of

1423
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: a game script in which probably the Eagles get ahead

1424
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: in this game and then the they need to throw,

1425
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: and alf doesn't catch passes, and so I don't think

1426
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: that works in his favor either. So let's keep him

1427
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: on the bench. Now. If they're gonna throw a lot

1428
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: of passes, potentially to running backs Rod Smith, maybe we

1429
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: know that his deal is going to be your change

1430
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: of pace back, you're passing down back. But I just

1431
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 1: don't know he gets he cobbles together enough work here

1432
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: to make him a reliable starter. So I've got him

1433
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 1: on the bench as well. Now let's talk about the

1434
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Eagle side. Carson Wentz obvious a start, we don't even

1435
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: need to elaborate. Same with Zach Ertz, who has been

1436
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: an ELEAD Fantasy tight end all year long, and a

1437
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,839
Speaker 1: nice matchup here, let's spend more time on all Sean Jeffrey,

1438
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: who was nursing an ankle injury but should play. But

1439
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: let's note the risk here that he really is a

1440
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: game time decision for all Sean Jeffrey. Um, he's been

1441
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: read out of late. But Dallas secondary has only a

1442
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: lot two receivers the top eighty yards all year, and

1443
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: Jefferies scored a touchdown two of his last three meetings

1444
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, so would be great for him. Nelson Aguilar,

1445
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 1: you may remember that five seconds ago I said that

1446
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: only two receivers of top to eighty yards against the Cowboys.

1447
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: Both of those receivers ran from the slot. And that's

1448
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: why I still like Nelson Algar. In this game, I

1449
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: thought you can say both were Nelson No, not actually yes,

1450
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: although it could have been. He goes up against Orlando Scander,

1451
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,799
Speaker 1: who ranks his quarterback sixty three by Pro Football Focus

1452
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: ce grad and al All right, now, the backfield, and

1453
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: we touched on this last week during their bye week.

1454
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: This thing is always going to be confounding between a

1455
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: giant and Blunt and Clement and to a lesser extent

1456
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: um what smallwood, thank you, Dallas has been a good

1457
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: run defense. Remember they just held Kareem Hunt to thirty

1458
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: seven rushing yards two weeks ago, but now they're without

1459
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee, and without him last week they let the

1460
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Falcons are all hundred seventeen rushing yards. Sean No Sean Lee,

1461
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: No Sean Lee. I like that Blunt and a Giant

1462
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: likely to share carries almost evenly. But Clement got the

1463
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: most carries two weeks ago, so I think probably two

1464
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: out of the three get paid in some fashion here

1465
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: between a Giant, Blunt and Clement, and good luck figuring

1466
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 1: out which one is because I don't think I don't

1467
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: even know that the Eagles could tell you who it's

1468
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: going to be right now. Um, I got C grades

1469
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,799
Speaker 1: on them all because I think they're gonna split carries

1470
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 1: almost three ways, and that's gonna mean something in the

1471
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: ballpark of eight nine ten touches, eight nine ten touches,

1472
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: eight nine ten touches, hopefully a couple of them turn

1473
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: into touchdowns. I'm calling fifteen carries for a giant. I

1474
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: know you love you love that bit. I'm not as

1475
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: confident that a Giant is just going to turn into

1476
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,919
Speaker 1: a workhorse as others are Bengals take on the Broncos.

1477
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: That will be our final matchup of this of the show.

1478
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can zip through this one quickly.

1479
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Matt Yeah, Andy Dalton was might take a chance on

1480
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He gets a C grade. A J. Green.

1481
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm giving a B too knock down from an A.

1482
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: A usual A for a J. Green because he's going

1483
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: up against Key to Leave and Chris Harris both rank

1484
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: them on the top fifteen corners in the league by

1485
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. But there's a lot of touchdown potential

1486
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: there because the Broncos are giving up touchdowns to the

1487
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. So like a J. Green in the

1488
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: red zone. Tyler Craft, I'm gonna give a C grade

1489
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. Past defense ranks bottom three and catches, targets,

1490
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: receiving yards and touchdowns allowed to tight ends. They're almost

1491
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: like the Giants West right now to tight ends league

1492
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: high seven forty six yards to the position. So that's

1493
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot. That is a lot. Joe Mixing, he's getting

1494
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: a C grade, scoring two straight, but Mixing has total

1495
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: seventy yards from scrimmage only twice this year. Denver's run

1496
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: defense had a great start to the season, but over

1497
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 1: the last three weeks they're giving up four yards per carry.

1498
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: They've also given up four running back touchdowns in that span.

1499
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: So mixing gets the Sea Broncos side running game on

1500
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: the bench Anderson and Booker. Anderson barely seeing over ten

1501
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: carries per game in his last five outings and uh

1502
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: the split on the snaps last week was thirty eight

1503
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:02,839
Speaker 1: percent for c J thirty eight percent for Booker. For Charles,

1504
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: this is gross. Let's just stay out of it. And

1505
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: and frankly, since he's got a good run defense as well,

1506
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: Brick Osweilers on the bench, only Aaron Rodgers is top

1507
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: two sixty four yards passing or two total touchdowns against

1508
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: the Bengals this year. Just c grades for Damarius Thomas

1509
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders, despite some good play in the last

1510
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: few weeks. Thomas has caught seven touchdown passes in ten

1511
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,679
Speaker 1: career games with Osweidler. Sanders is top ninety nine yards

1512
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: and half of his career games with Osweiler, but just

1513
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,560
Speaker 1: one opposing wide receiver and that was Marquis Lee his

1514
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: top sixty five yards against Cincinnati since Week three. I

1515
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: don't like the matchup all that much, so it's just

1516
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: c grades for those Broncos wide receivers. Alright, premature speculation.

1517
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 1: We only have a few minutes here, so let's be

1518
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: be super brief on these guys. Brian, who you got.

1519
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm going back to Paxston Lynch. I mentioned his week

1520
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: fourteen through sixteen schedule. Let me start with next week

1521
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: where he could or should make his debut at Oakland

1522
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: at Miami Jets, Colts, Redskins, all very good matchups. He

1523
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 1: could be an exciting town. Okay, I've got Corey Coleman

1524
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: who's returning from i R this week. He had a

1525
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: hand injury just like he did last year. Uh coming back.

1526
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: He's the Brown's number one wide receiver easily and by talent.

1527
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: For pick up a number one wide receiver this late

1528
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: in the season, you do it, especially for Dynasty and

1529
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Empire League ers. Mac Hollands is the rookie fourth round

1530
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: receiver from the Eagles whose snap count keeps going up

1531
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: week after week. Tori Smith sucks and mac Hollins is

1532
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: going to take his job. If not this year, then

1533
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: definitely next year. Mac Hollins, you're starting wide. They're gonna

1534
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: kick Tory Smith to the curb. In the offseason. Mac

1535
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: hollins is your starting wide receiver and a Carson Wentz

1536
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: offense for the foreseeable future. He is a great Dynasty

1537
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: and Empire league stash. I bet in Canada they call

1538
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 1: him Sory Smith. Yeah, I gotta chuckle at him. Thank you.

1539
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: Don't forget that. Al Shan also a free agent after

1540
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: this year, so they don't They just signed him on

1541
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 1: his big deal. It wasn't a one year deal. It

1542
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: was a one year deal. Are you sure. I don't

1543
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: know about that. I'm not saying you're wrong, but that

1544
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: doesn't jive with my memory. But that'd be mcollins is

1545
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: number one maybe go to receiver at that point. UH

1546
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: memorial moment for a c d C founder Malcolm Young

1547
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the t the band has just announced his passing. He

1548
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: has been battling cancer, I believe for like three years, unfortunately,

1549
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: and has finally succumb We've been playing lightning round here

1550
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: for the over ten years. UM, so a moment we'll

1551
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: we'll both dispense fantasy advice and keep Malcolm Young's UH

1552
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: family in mind as we go to the phones, and

1553
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: we begin with Craig Hi. Craig all right, Paul tell

1554
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: wonder why you don't rank defenses and you take Collins

1555
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: or Jamal Williams this week, Sure you can take the

1556
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,799
Speaker 1: I'll go with Jamal Williams. Baltimore's backfield way too crowded

1557
01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: for me right now. And we just don't have time,

1558
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: is the answer. On kickers and defense. We just we

1559
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: just don't have time in two hours. Andy, you're next

1560
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: full point PPR J. D mckissic or Danny Woodhead. Uh.

1561
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: Mckissic is the guy who's got a starting grade for

1562
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: many of us this week, So I'd stick with him.

1563
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: By the way, I like, I actually like what had

1564
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: Bean one year? Nine point five outstanding? Mac Hall. I'm

1565
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: telling you, Empire leaguers, Dynasty leaguers, Mac Collins, Rich your next,

1566
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder or Doug Martin. Crowder or Martin. Yeah, I'll

1567
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: take Martin with the guaranteed touches. I think I will um, Well,

1568
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm going Crowder, he's been he's averaged

1569
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 1: eight catches a game the last two weeks. And we

1570
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 1: think they're gonna throw, they think they're gonna we think

1571
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw through that whole game. I'm switching it

1572
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: to Crowder Jason, you're next, Hey, guys, Fitzgerald or Shepherd. Wow, man,

1573
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: I would almost bench anyone else other than those two,

1574
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: but I I gotta go Fits, gotta go Fits. Look

1575
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: at the quarterback DIFFERNI I know Kareem Jackson just gets

1576
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 1: roasted from the slot. I don't know. Fits is just

1577
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: Fits is the man Shepherds. Stirling Shepherd's matchup is awesome

1578
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know. I'm going with the Hall

1579
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: of Famer. All right, Ben, you're next, Hey, guys, um

1580
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: sitting good automatically playoffs and change for five week And

1581
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: now with Seattle's conundrum, I'm thinking dropping them. Would you

1582
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: drop them for like a Chargers or Bears defense or

1583
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: some hot ten If you're gonna drop them, I just

1584
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: say you play the matchups the rest of the way out.

1585
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: See who's playing Cleveland everywhere in Houston. Stream that stream

1586
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: against the bad quarterbacks, and I would drop the Seattle defense. Yeah,

1587
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a good move. Bryan, you're next on

1588
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: the fan. Yeah, Marshawn Lynch for Birkhead pr because it's PPR.

1589
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna take Birkhead. Pete you are next, Kenyan Drake

1590
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: or p Ryan, Alright, I gotta go Drake. Charges take

1591
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back like Drake this week. Mark,

1592
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: you're on the fan, Yeah for Net can't go Chris

1593
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: Thompson or Sterling Shepherd again, Sterling Shepherd, Folks, this is

1594
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: a number wide receiver and absolutely love him. Our final

1595
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: call of the day will be Grover. Hello, Grover, good morning,

1596
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 1: great program guys, PPR, Kevin Coleman or Mike Evans. Mike Evans,

1597
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean we can't bench Evans. I realized Coleman is

1598
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: going to get the vast majority of the work and

1599
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: that counts for something. But no, we can't. We can't

1600
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 1: go that far. Gophers versus Northwestern. I think it's Northwestern
