<v Speaker 1>Here's the Fans. Paul charchy in Welcome to a week

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>thirteen version of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Giarchi

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and my co host this week are Scott Fish and

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Matt Harrison. Hello guys, Hello, good morning. Only there was

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>something to talk about, something to sort of take up

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>our usual cadence of matchups and stuff. Nothing, I got nothing.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis scored forty one points against the Miami Heat

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>last night. Yeah. Um. In the span of less than

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours, uh quite a bit less than twenty

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>four hours, Kareem Hunt owners went from empowering into the

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>playoffs into now feeling potentially like they're a first round

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>loss in the playoffs. As kareem Hunt has hit the

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Commissioner's exemption list and released from the chiefs, and now

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>we are, now we are we look ahead. Um, I

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think we do not have the time or the

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>format to do a deep dive into this, the social implications,

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>everything else. It's just not that's not what we do here,

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and we just don't have time for it, especially with

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>no bi weeks and all the matchups. So we need

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to So let's let's just turn our attention

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>this way for kareem Hunt owners and dynasty leagues and

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>empire leagues. You're thinking about future years? Is he somebody

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you're dropping? I'm holding I have him in an Empire league.

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I was lucky enough to be able to pick up

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Spencer wear on the waiver wire yesterday. But I'm going

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to definitely hold. Um. It's not a political issue in

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>my mind, it's just a fantasy issue. It's a guy

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>who makes statistics, and I'm going to wait and see

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>if he's going to make statistics in some other uniform

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>next year. Yeah, I'm probably trading. I I've talked about

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>this in the office before. I you know me, I'm

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the guy that does a lot of charitable stuff. I

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I have a lot of causes, and

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>there are sometimes that like when Adrian Peterson went down,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I traded all my shares and I can still get

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>value for them. It's just the thing for me. And

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 1>there are players who you know, make recompense that that,

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, they become they become better people afterwards, and

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 1>they learn from their mistakes and then I can start

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to acquire them again and have those guys. But I'm

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>just not a guy that ken I would be trading him.

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing there. I believe he will be

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>on an NFL roster on opening day next year. I

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>believe he will. Um. He will uh show appropriate contrition.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>He will do the right things to do effectively what

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixon was able to do and you know, salvaging

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>his draft status and to a great degree and finding

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>himself on a team and being a productive player. And

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you have to answer a lot of tough

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>questions when that team first makes a move to acquire you.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>You have to at the players to have answers ready

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at that point. Um. But fundamentally, we are a forgiving society.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>We like to give people second chances because we want

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>them ourselves. When we make mistakes, and I believe that

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>by the time you know, we're a half year from

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a half year from now or farther. Um, you know,

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>some teams is gonna feel like, um, he's done enough

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and enough time has passed, and somebody will want him

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>because the talent that he has. This is not like

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Ray Rice who was at the bitter end of his

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>career and it was pretty easy to look past his talent.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, and talent, frankly, talent matters

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>from these kinds of situations. What do you think of

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Spencer ware rest of season? Just give me a number

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>on where you think he will finish for as a

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>as a fantasy running back. Spencer where a fourth hot question?

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>There really is a fourth hot question, But because we

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>need to open the show with it, give me a

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>number on where you think he will finish rest of

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>season among running backs? What's what's what's the rest of

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>his schedule? Looking like it's not great? Um, I can

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>tell you Oakland this week, Oakland this week. I think

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna absolutely have a monster game, you would assume,

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>so I know they play Oakland again in weeks seventeen,

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>which doesn't matter. The schedules Baltimore, Chargers, Seattle. Okay, I

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>think he's definitely startable in that Chargers game. The Baltimore

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>game is gonna be tough. He'll probably be a C

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>grade there and uh, Seattle probably a B grade. So

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>see if the number where you think maybe a number

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>where you think he's going to finish among running backs

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>rest of season at this point forward. Yeah, I think

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a little higher. I think it's more like ten.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Hunt may have finished, you know, five four, um, but

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Spencer War is not as good as Kareem Hunt. Yeah,

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>so you know, you know there's that, so you know

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he won't put up Kareem Hunts numbers because he's not

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>as good. There's a reason Kareem Hunt was the start uh.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>In addition to uh, in addition and obviously you know,

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll be breaking down Kareem Hunt's game later in this

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>show and what you can expect this week for those

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>of you that picked him up. Sorry, where's uh, Where's game?

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Kareem Hunt's gotta buy. Kareem Hunt is on permanent by

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>semi permanent by we will get to take a chance

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>on me. We'll talk about three hot questions we are

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>premature speculation is done for the year, but we'll in

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>part because we have to power through all of the

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>remaining matchups, which of which there are many. No by

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks anymore, and that begins with the Browns and the Texans. Scott.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the first difficult matchup for Baker Mayfield in

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a month, and now I think we're gonna find out

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>what we got in Baker. What do you think? I

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>completely agree. I'm really excited to see the Mayfield v.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Watson game, though. That's man, two guys I really like

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>coming on. I mean, someday we might you know, ten

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>years from now, this might feel like a breeze. Brady, Yeah,

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>very well good. I love them both so much. Mayfield's

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>throwing multiple touchball touchdown passes in all three games since

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>he left, but I mean they were easy matchups, as

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>he kind of alluded to there. He also threw multiple

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in the two games before he left. I do

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>admit that the offense has opened up a bit, But

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>where I sit on Mayfield this week, I gave him

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a B grade. I think he's got an okay matchup,

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>but he's gonna have to get it out quick. Clowney

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>and Watt are two of the top five in speed

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to the quarterback, which I think really lays out well

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>for Landry and Duke Johnson this week. So I gave

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys C grades. I'm I'm including Duke

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Johnson in the passing game apparently, um, although he's not

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>much of a factor in the passing game really. Yeah,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Duke Johnson, Yeah, No, he was a couple of weeks

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>ago when he had nine targets. I think last week

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>was more of an anomaly. I think he gets back

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to that this week because I think Mayfield is gonna

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>have to get it out quick. I do only have

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Duke though. They're the worry is there.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>We saw Mario to hit down Lewis seven times last week,

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>so pass catching backs are are catching. It's also why

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm benching Callaway. I don't know that Mayfield is going

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to have the time to get it down to Callaway

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and he drops half of them anyway. So David Njoku,

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the last time I thought, David Nuke, how many times

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>we got a plan for great matchup smash spot And Yeah,

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the Texans have allowed to touchdown in three straight and

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.119
<v Speaker 1>in those three nine receptions, eleven targets and one yards

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>is the average to the tight end. It's a great

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>spot for Nujoku. I'm giving him the A grade, so

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>be prepared for the Goose egg right, A grade, Yes,

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I love it. He had a single eight is David

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and Joko it a single game this year? Whyber one game? Yeah?

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>That was top twelve tight end. Yeah, absolutely, that's not

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Yeah, alright, No, I think you're being bold.

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But okay, I think it is a little bold. That's

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>why I expected goose uh chub. I'm giving a B

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>grade and it's completely on the touches. He's gonna get

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty touch guys have had at least eighty four yards,

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>all of them against the Texans. Only se Kwon Barkley

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>top two hundred total yards against the Texans this year,

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>so I think the upside is pretty limited on the

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Texans side. The passing game, I love this matchup. Browns

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>are terrible against against quarterbacks and watch receivers. So I

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>have eight grades on both Watkins and Hopkins. Um. Even

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Driscoll did okay in the second half of that game. Yeah.

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>The catch on on Watson is he's had no more

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>than twenty five passes now in six straight games. You

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>just it's just that low of volume. It's really hard.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>You look through like four touchdown passes on less than that.

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>It can be. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>know this is not This is not a one time anomaly.

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Six straight games with twenty five or fewer passes is troubling. Yeah.

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I believe in one of those games he'd at five

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.839
<v Speaker 1>touch jowns Deshaun Watson though he did. Yeah, so uh

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and this is this is a team that has thrown,

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>has given up multiple touchdowns with three hundred yards and

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>all but one game this year to the quarterback. So uh.

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>As far as DT, Damarius Thomas and QT, I kind

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of I'm benching them both because I don't know which

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>one is going to come off, right. Uh. DT has

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>got Denzel Award going up against him, and QT really

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>does demand targets when he is in there. He gets

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of targets. So I think they might just

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>monopolize them both. And I don't know which one is

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>going to be the bad one. But uh, Lamar Miller.

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Miller now has a hundred total yards and four of

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>his last five the Browns have allowed a hundred forty

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 1>more or more total yards to seven running backs this year,

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.079
<v Speaker 1>including three of the last four games, five touchdowns in

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that span. I have an rare A grade on Lamar Miller.

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, that is rare. Yeah, let's go to a

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Chargers taking on the Steelers. Chargers had a tough matchup

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>last week, but the passing game came alive anyway. Now

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>they go to to h to Hinz Field, where every

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>game is seemingly a shootout. Yeah, that's true. Um, the

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Steelers are averaging twenty nine points at home, which should

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>force Rivers to pass and pass often as opponents in

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>hines Field are averaging thirty six pass attempts on the season,

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and on the season when Rivers has had at least

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty six pass attempts, he's averaging three fifty eight yards

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and three touchdowns. I believe you came up with that job. Well,

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sticking to it. Yes, that that that is a fact. Um.

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I gave Rivers a B grade. I could see an A,

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>but it just seems like the the Steelers still have

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a very good defense. So I'm just knocking him down

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit. I think a B grades fair there, Uh,

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Keenan Allen, I'm giving a B grade two as well.

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Allen will face off against Mike Hilton, who hasn't allowed

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown this season and hasn't allowed more than nineteen

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>yards in the last seven games. That's a that's a tough,

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>very tough, tough draw for Keenan Allen. Both the Williams brothers,

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Mike and Tyrrell. Mike scored twice last week versus Arizona,

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's finished under sixty yards in eight straight games,

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and Tyrrell was active last week despite a quad injury.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>He was on the field of play for nine times.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not even he had zero targets on

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>those nine plays that he was on the field. So

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys are on your bench. Uh. And

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>then the the interesting guy here, I guess is Austin

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Ekeler because Melvin Gordon is out this week. I'm giving

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Eckler a B grade because Justin Jackson is the other

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.959
<v Speaker 1>running back who should get play in this game. And

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Ekeler has been great. He's had five point eight yards

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>per carry, but he probably won't fall into Gordon's volume. However,

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Christian McCaffrey, Leonard four Nette, and Philip Lindsay have all

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>topped a hundred and ten total yards and scored against

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers in the last three weeks. It's not a

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.439
<v Speaker 1>particularly easy looking match up on paper, but people have

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>got it done in the last couple of weeks against him.

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Austin Ekeler is a better inside runner. People think he's

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Darren Sprowls. He's not. He's a better inside runner than that.

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>And he's stronger and more physical than that, and um,

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>and he still has the opportunity for goal line carriage

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>number one in the NFL, yards per touch number three

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>in elusiveness, unbelievable. Austin Austin Nickler is really really good

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>points or seven point eight yards per touch per touch

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.839
<v Speaker 1>number one in the NFL. The running back on the

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>other side of the field, I'm more interested at him

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>running between the tackles this week because the Chargers will

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>be missing both starting defensive tackles this week, Brandon Mebane.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.599
<v Speaker 1>And what about Jackson owners Is there a start for

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Jackson opens here? Now? You don't think so, not at all? All? Right.

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he's a I think I think

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>he's flexible that's a really deep dart throw. It is

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 1>a it's a bit of a dart throw. James Conner.

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving an a though, because of the aforementioned Chargers

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that will be missing this week, and the Chargers have

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 1>allowed four point three yards per carry and the fourth

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>most receiving yards to opposing backs. Connor's good out of

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>catching catching balls out of the backfield too. Ben Roethlisberger.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving an a grade to Ben is logged at

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>least two hundred fifty yards and mull to pull scores

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in four of the last five games. In the one

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>game where he didn't hit both of those benchmarks, he

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>had four hundred sixty two yards and one touchdown. That

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>was last week against Denver. So the Chargers have faced

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers have been good this year against the past.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>But here's the last handful of quarterbacks they faced. Josh Rosen,

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>case Keenum, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson who actually had a

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>good game, Marcus Mariota, Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr again, c J. Bethard.

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the quarterbacks are making them look a little

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>bit better than they are pass So a grade for

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Ben that means in a grade for Antonio and Juju.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Over the last five weeks, Brown is averaging ten targets

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>per game. Juju is at nine point four, so they're

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>almost equal. Uh, Casey Hayward probably ends up splitting time

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>between these two in the game. Think so, I don't

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>think he'll go in the slot that much. Well, they

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>moved Juju to the outside a ton last week against

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harris, so they started They started flexing these guys

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>back and forth and are moving them around the field.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 1>So I think both of these guys are pretty good

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>plays this week, and we'll we'll probably see equal amounts

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of Casey Hayward. Finally, Vance McDonald. He gets a C grade.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 1>A hip injury cost Hims some on field time last

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>week in Colorado, but he practiced fully this week. Maybe

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 1>he got some meta natural pain relieving substances well. In

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the Rocky Mountains, Chargers have been top ten in most

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>categories against tight end this year. That's why he only

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>gets the C grade. All right, let's go to our

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>final matchup of this segment, Ravens taking on the Falcons.

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>My guy, Lamar Jackson with another A grade. You already

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>know what his legs can do, and he can drive

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you to a top ten quarterback finish UH. And you

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>know with light with with quarterback rushing, it's always something

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of a dart throw. But boy, what's not to like

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred ninety rushing yards in two games from

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback? And now if Jackson could do something even

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>remotely close to that on the ground, this is a

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>juicy matchup through the air opposed. Nine of ten opposing

0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns top three ards or done

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>both against the Falcons, So you could be sitting on

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the potential of another explosive game for Lamar Jackson A grade.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Gus Edwards also an A grade UH. Teams are frightened

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that Jackson's gonna pull the ball down on these read

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>options and they're not capable of focusing on Gus Edwards

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and that run option UH is giving defenses a lot

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>of problems and it's opening up things for Gus Edwards.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>It's something that is underrated in fantasy football that the

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>running back with a running quarterback is always very good.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>It is. It's very underrated and and because intuitively you

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>tend to think, well, there's only so many rushing yards

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to go around, and if the quarterbacks is gonna get

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>all these rushing yargins gotta come out of the running back,

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of time it doesn't. It comes out

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of the passing game mostly, that is true. Uh. The

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Falcons terrible at stopping opposing running backs. Nick chub Ezekiel

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Elliott each game more than two hundred total yards within

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the last three weeks against the Falcons. Uh. The receivers.

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, while we're talking running backs for a moment,

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Time Montgomery and nice sneaky play here. The Falcons have

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>allowed the most running back receptions, the second most running

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>back receiving yards, and just two games ago, Zeke put

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>up eighty yards through the air against Atlanta. Montgomery, who

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of action last week as a receiving back,

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>is a PPR flyer. If only somebody would have prematurely

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>speculated on Time Montgomery last weekend. Oh wait, that was

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's what you do? That what do you know?

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, they faced Kansas City next week,

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and Kansas City almost as bad against pass catching running

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>backs as Atlanta is. Time Montgomery, you might want to

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>see if he is available in your league. The only

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>receiver I've got a starting grade on is Willie Snead.

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 1>All the wide receivers, though, have good matchups, but in

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta is allowed the second most wide receiver touchdowns. But

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>snee is the only one who's getting consistent production under Jackson.

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>So I've got a starting grade on him. You could

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>throw darts on John Brown. I wouldn't really on crabt

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>he who has really done nothing under Jackson. But Sneet

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>is the safe play out of that group. Let's go

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Atlanta side. Matt Ryan. It's a B grade.

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>He's top three hundred thirty yards in five of the

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>last six games. But here's the problem with three thirty yards.

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens have given up three or thirty yards one

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>time all year. That's it. What's more, no quarterback has

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>top two touchdowns against the Ravens since Week two. I

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't much like his wide receiver matchups one on one.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>You'll hear about that in a minute as well. So

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous about Matt Ryan. And the B grade is

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>actually closer to a seat. Yeah, I was gonna say it.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>B is very generous. B is a little bit generous here,

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>especially considering he's my number twenty one quarterback. This week.

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Let's go to the receivers, Julio Jones.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens have have seated just four touchdowns to receivers

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 1>since Jimmy Smith returned from suspension Week five. That's it,

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>just four. Julio Jones will primarily be covered by Jimmy Smith.

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.959
<v Speaker 1>He's held opposing receivers to thirty total yards and coverage

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>over his last two games. Brutal matchup for Julio Jones,

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 1>who gets a B grade on reputation mostly in past accomplishments.

0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Mostly all the rest of the receivers are on the

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>bench because of the difficulty of this matchup that I've

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>just described. But Austin Hooper startable. Ravens have only allowed

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 1>four tight ends to reach the end zone on the season.

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 1>All four have come in the past five games though,

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 1>so four tight end touchdowns in the last five games.

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Austin Hooper's seen at least eight targets in four of

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the past seven games. By tight end standards, you're pretty

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>much gotta start him. Unfortunately, in a difficult matchup. Last

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 1>guy to mention is Tevin Coleman. Unfortunately, the Ravens have

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed the third fewest rushing yards, the third fewest rushing

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns over the last five games, and the Ravens have

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 1>given up a touchdown to the position in each of

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>their past five games to the lead back, which bodes well.

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>And dual threat guys like Christian McAffrey and James Conner

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 1>each found the end zone through the air over the

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>last five games, So there's an angle here for Tevin

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Coleman to get it done through the air more so

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 1>than on the ground, and that's why he gets a

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>B grade. Generous B grades that are trending mostly to

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>see for most most most of those Falcons. By the way,

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 1>in this game, Alex Collins just put on I r oh.

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that, yeah, and Kenneth Dixon activated courtesy

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of Brian Johnson. Well, that's who's helping us from helping

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 1>us from afar. He's he's frankly, he's more helped to

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>us out of the studio. Studio when we come back,

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>your starting lineup will tell you who you can start

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>when we come back. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>my Green Bell Premium on the Fan. Welcome back to

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the show. Fantasy Football Weekly. It's winning. You're in addition,

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>week number thirteen. For many of you, you have to

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 1>have a victory this week. We will do our best.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>You might have to hit the waiver wire. It's not

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst thing in the world. You don't have to

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 1>go with the guys who got you there. Let's find

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 1>some quarterbacks running back to some god receivers who can

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>help you out in a pinch. Beginning with Scott Fish.

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>How about poor man's Lamar Jackson. I'm just kidding my guys.

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen whose second in rushing and over the two

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks with a twenty rushing yards standard touchdown. He's got

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>four touchdown rushing touchdowns on the year, so there's been

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a floor there. He's got a

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of fourty and six yard games. Um. The Dolphins

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of multiple touchdowns and five the last

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>six the third most passing touchdowns the last five weeks.

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen's always looking to make a play. I think

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>this is a week where he makes a few plays. Okay,

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 1>I got a poor man's Josh Allen. How about that?

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Jeff Driskell Santy Bengals. Uh, He's literally the fastest

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Jeff You know, he's six four to forty and he

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>ran a four five forty at the two thousand six

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>NFL combine In the last five years, among quarterbacks who

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have started at least one NFL game, only Marcus Mariota

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>ran a faster forward than Jeff driscoll. He's taken snaps

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in three games this year. He scored rushing touchdowns in two.

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>He had a decent preseason. Two. He completed sixty six

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 1>percent of his throws. He wasn't embarrassing last week in relief.

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was good. One passing touchdown, one rushing touchdown. Mahomes, Wilson,

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and Watson each had solid days as will threat quarterbacks

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>against Denver this year, I like Driskell, Colt McCoy, faces

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>an absolutely devastated Eagles secondary. Avante Mattock, Sidney Jones, Jalen

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Mills all may not play in this one. Not to

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>mention all the players have already put on I R

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed passing touchdowns in nine of ten games and

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>at least two hundred sixty nine passing yards and eight

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>straight games. I would take touchdowns and at least six

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>two hundred sixty nine passing yards from Colt McCoy. I

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:28.399
<v Speaker 1>thought he looked pretty good. He just he just threw

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns against a far better secondary Dallas last week.

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.399
<v Speaker 1>And he is also fleet of foot. Could run one

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>in for you as wells go to the running back position, Scott,

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He's no Jeff Driskell. Come Jeff clearly, Uh Jeff Driscoll

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>for more number one recruit uh quarterback position anyway, my guys,

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>t J yelden uh. Mostly because the cultiv allowed the

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.640
<v Speaker 1>second most receptions and fourth most receiving yards per game

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to running backs this year, and four different running backs

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>in the last four games fifty yards each. I think

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>this game script plays out well for yelled in to

0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.919
<v Speaker 1>get a decent amount of pass catching work with four

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 1>that out. Okay, I actually wish I could use Jeff

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Driscoll as my running back to he'd by the way

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>fanball this week. It's crazy. Yeah, Um, I got Isaiah

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Crowl and I don't like this at all. He touched

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball nine times in each of the last two weeks,

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 1>nine times, nine time. He touched the ball fourteen times

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 1>each of the prior two weeks with Sam Donald at

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the Helm and Donald looks like he's coming back to

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>hand the ball off again this week. The once mighty

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Titans run game has given up five point one yards

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 1>per carry over their last four games and allowed touchdowns

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to James Devlin, Marlon Mack, Jordan Wilkins, and Lamar Miller

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in the last three weeks. Isaiah Crowell gross gross also gross,

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Like Garrett Blunt, yuck. We we shouldn't have even done

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>the running by No, it's I don't like him, but

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>he's coming off his best game as a lie eighty

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>eight yards and two touchdowns against an excellent Bears run defense.

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Now he gets a far easier matchup. In each of

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the past four weeks, the Rams have given up over

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>eighties six total yards on six yards per carry and

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown to opposing backs. That's your Rams run defense

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 1>right there. Obviously, the Lions are gonna want to be

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>able to keep the keep the Rams offense off the

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>field as much as they can. They're gonna try to run.

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Rams are giving up over five yards per carry on

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the season. Garrett Blunt, Let's see if we can get

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>him in. Let's see if we can get the ball

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>inside the three, get a sneaky touchdown, get seventy five

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards before they have to turn to the passing

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 1>game exclusively. In that one Scott receiver, I'm gonna go

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>with Robert Foster, a guy that everybody in the office

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 1>thinks I like way more than I actually do. It's

0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>your nude pictures, that's that's an exact tasteful nudes. Uh No,

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>he was a highly recruited recruit, that highly recruited recruited

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 1>UH four fourth speed that matches perfectly with Josh Allen's arm.

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>In the last two games, he has a hundred ninety

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 1>nine yards and a touchdown, include a forty seven yard

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and a seventy five yard er. Uh He's He's a

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>great deep threat for a guy Josh Allen who has

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>eighteen percent of his passes go for over twenty yards. Okay,

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Robert Foster sounds just a touch faster than Jeff Driskell.

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 1>But I have Adam Humphries this week. Humphries is scored

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>in three of his last four games and had at

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>least fifty yards in five straight. This week, he faces

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 1>off against Captain Munnerlin in the slot, and he's been

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 1>getting torched. Last week Tyler Lockett ran half of his

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>routes out of the slot and finished with a hundred

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and seven yards in a touchdown. The week before that,

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Golladay ran a ton of routes out of the slot.

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>He finished with a hundred and thirteen and one. The

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>week before that Juju at nine one and the week

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.120
<v Speaker 1>before that, Adam Humphries faced these Panthers eight catches, eighty

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>two yards and two touchdowns. Like Humphries again. Courtland Sutton

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>is a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos going up

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>against Cincinnati, maybe the worst secondary in the NFL. They've

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 1>slumped badly. Emmanuel Sanders is my number two wide receiver

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on the week. Courtland Sutton can be awfully good as well.

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging fifty yards per game since the Damerius Thomas

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 1>trade and this is the easiest defense he's seen by

0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 1>a mile. Bengals cornerback William Jackson is primarily he will

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.959
<v Speaker 1>be covering him, and he's surrendering almost fourteen yards per

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>catching a passer rating of one hundred eight. Let's get

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 1>back to the matchups Bills taking on Dolphins. Scott, you've

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>already talked about every Bill that i'd want to have.

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>But I like Shaun McCoy and he is a super

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>sneaky play, and I bet he's cheap on fan ball.

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we can pull up what is Matt. Yeah, I'm

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 1>working on working on that, thank you. I bet he's

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>undervalued considering how good this. He might be a part

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of the fan Ball four play on fan ball this week.

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 1>It might be I do have I have a B

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>grade on him, but I don't love the B grade

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>as much as you do. Probably, But eleven different running

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>backs have topped eighty total yards against Miami. I like

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that part. And uh, in the last eight weeks, UH,

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.399
<v Speaker 1>six of seven or seven have topped the hundred ton

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 1>total yards. Six of seven have scored. It's it's a

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>good spot. But McCoy is only getting fourteen touches a game.

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna need a lot more than that. And I

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>think that the game script might get a little behind

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>him here because the Dolphins are known for running up big.

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>You just told me half, you know, five minutes ago

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 1>about how I'm supposed to start Josh Allen. I like

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the passing him a little bit more. I think I

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 1>think that the Bills are going to fall behind the Dolphins.

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I truly do. I think you just have some unnatural

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>hate for Lashawn McCoy that that he touched you in

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 1>appropriately as a child. He's got to choose which Bills?

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you really? Do you really want me to give

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it an A grade to Leshaw McCoy if you think

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 1>he's earned it. I don't think I've got to think

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I have a B grade on him. But you know

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I have a B grade on him. If you know,

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>if he gets twenty plus touches, sure, but I don't.

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't see that it hasn't that doesn't happen. But

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it's the Dolphins and it can absolutely happen here. It can.

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:53.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the game that Lamar Miller got that A

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 1>grade for me a long time ago, and he did

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 1>have a huge day. Still you're still bragging about that one.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Definitely not Oddly, I do not like the passing game

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Dolphins. Tannehill is probably gonna have an okay game,

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>but the Bills are really good, really good against the

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>against the past. Tannehill just doesn't have starter material here

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 1>and the Bills wide receivers against the Bills are just terrible. Uh,

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 1>there's no wide receivers I like for the Dolphins. I

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>do have se grades to both Gore and Drake. Now

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>though I had I did have them on the bench,

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 1>but I am moving them to see grades because the

0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bills have allowed eight touchdowns to running backs in

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the last five games and the third most touchdowns ruin

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>backs and in this season. I think both have an

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunity here if they both get over ten touches. Drake

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 1>is off the injury report and he's always a threat

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>for a big play. So I've seen grades on them.

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins giving up the fourth most rushing attempts in the

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:53.960
<v Speaker 1>league twenty nine per game. Now you've assured me that

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 1>he's not that we're not going to get enough rushes.

0:27:56.920 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Sean McCoy does change the grade. Is Josh Allen gonna

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>get twenty He's gonna get probably eight or nine. Okay,

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>so so now I'm looking at twenty rushes. Still a

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>B grade doesn't change anything, all right. This is a

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:13.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of back and forth, and we both

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>have a B grade on Let's go, um, let's go

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Panthers taking on the Bucks. Matt Actually, let's not.

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a break when we come back Panthers taking

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on the Bucks. We'll tell you what to expect from

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Jamis Winston. Can you have another in consecutive solid performance

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>his best game of the year last week? You might?

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 1>You might. We'll find out when we come back. This

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 1>is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by green Bill Premium on

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the Fan. Welcome back to the show. It is Fantasy

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly on the Fan. Always nice. We have people

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 1>out state that are on hold waiting to talk to us.

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 1>We've got college from Ontario, Portland, Toronto. I hope you'll

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>continue to hold. Let's dive back into the matchups. As

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned before, we went into break. Panthers taking on

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks. Matt Um, Let's start on the Let's start

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>on the Buck side because I find Jamis Winston to

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>be fascinating. Uh. And whether or not you think this

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>is a an opportunity for a second solid game. He

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>just just played his best game of the season. No

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 1>interceptions for Jamis, which is a very big deal. Yeah. Um,

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I gave him a B grade. It was only five

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago when Ryan Fitzpatrick through for four touchdowns against Carolina.

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 1>The following week, Big Ben topped three hundred yards and

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>through five touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers. Russell Wilson had

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>over three two last week, and Jamis Winston has thrown

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>for over three hundred yards in every game that he

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>started and finished this year. That's all three of them.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>So Winston I got as a B grade. Mike Evans

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I like as well. He's also a B uh. Evans

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 1>is topped nine yards or scored in four of his

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>last five games against the Panthers, but he has never

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>accomplished both of those feats at the same time in

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 1>his eight career game against Carolina, so in Week nine

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it was that weird game where Evans had ten targets

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.800
<v Speaker 1>caught one ball for sixteen yards. So he looks to

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>get revenge on James Bradberry this week. Bradberry has allowed

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>two or fifty five yards in his coverage over the

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks, and Evans is coming off back to

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>back hundred yard outing, so he's closer to an A

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:22.240
<v Speaker 1>for me than a b um. DeShawn Jackson has been

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>ruled out with an injury, and Adam Humphreys was might

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me wide receiver, and Cameron Braids

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving a B grade two as well. As far

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>as tight ends go, Braids has about as good a

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>chance of any tight end at getting a touchdown. He

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>had to end his own targets last week one touchdown

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>out of that. Carolina has allowed the most tight ends,

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>uh touchdowns this year. So why is he A being

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>not an A because he only got four targets last

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 1>week and you got he has to basically convert two

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in my mind to get an A grade out

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of this? All right? Maybe? All right? Uh? In my

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in my mind, a touchdown from a tight end is

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a grade this year. That's all takes. I guess, I

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>guess I reserve my A grades for Kelsey Kittle and

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Earth's I think. I think that's it. As we discussed

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>on this show last week and five three tough questions,

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>three hot questions. Excuse me, um, I think he's a

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 1>top five guy the rest of the year, and I

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>think most of the most of the time, he's going

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a grade requisite. I'm I'm on the I'm

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>on the camera, Brad Bandwagon. Can we revisit the plus

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and minuses? Can we for tight ends only? No? Speaking

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 1>of A grades, Christian McCaffrey gets an A grade after

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 1>coming off a fifty point week at Fanball. Cam Newton's

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>getting a B grade. He's not topped three hundred yards

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>against the Bucks since two thousand twelve, and his last

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>five games against Tampa he's been under two hundred passing

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>yards three times, which is shocking con sering how bad

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that defense is. And by the way, Brent Grimes may

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>not play in this game, which would be a huge

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>difference the silver lining. He's topped forty rushing yards or

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>scored a rushing touchdown in seven of his last eight

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 1>against Tampa. D J. Moore, I'm giving a C grade.

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Samue on Devin Funchius around the bench, though more

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>has led wide receivers and targets and receiving yards in

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 1>each of the last two weeks. Impressive games out of him.

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>But Funcas, who sat the last couple of weeks with

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the back injury, is back at practice and ready to play.

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>That's just gonna muddy the waters for the Carolina wide receivers.

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Greg Olsen gets a B grade. Tampa's getting killed by

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. Vance McDonald, Ertz, Burton Hooper and Joku and

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Greg Olsen have all either tops ninety yards or scored

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>against Tampa this year, many of those names did both.

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Greg Olsen was one of those names already, so yeah,

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I like him as a b Bears nick gon the Giants,

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and I like the Bears running game a lot since

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the Giants foolishly dispatched Snacks Harrison for nothing. Might I

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>add to the Lions, they're giving up one hundred thirty

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 1>four rushing yards per game, five yards per carry, and

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown and a half to opposing running backs. That

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>brings Jordan Howard right into play. And I know it's

0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>been a brutal season for his owners, but don't make

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the mistake of leaving him on your bench. And this one,

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade on Jordan Howard. I think

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the Bears get up ahead and they pound Howard a

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>lot in this game. Tariko and also startable here, although

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>it looks like straight ahead power runners have done more

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 1>damage to the Giants than speedback so I actually prefer

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Howard over Cohen, but both absolutely startable. I've technically got

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Cohen, but in PPR leagues lifted

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>up to a B grade. And for the passing game,

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous Chase Daniels I thought played pretty well against

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the Lions and Thanksgiving, but he's startable only in really

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>easy matchups. And since the Eli Apple trade, opposing quarterbacks

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>are averaging just two hundred six yards and one touchdown

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>pass against the Giants. That is the definition of addition

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>by subtraction. Giants are a better secondary without Eli Apple

0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of running coming in this game. I've

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 1>got a bench grade on Chase Daniel. I've got a

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Anthony Miller, who was very touchdown dependent.

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>He draws undrafted rookie cornerback Grant Haley, who was allowing

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a passer rating of one nine. I like that part

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of it. He's scored in five different games, but he's

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 1>only top forty nine yards one time. So it's all

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>about the touchdowns for Anthony Miller, and he's got a

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.360
<v Speaker 1>chance here, so he gets a starting grade. Taylor Gabriel

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 1>has been the bears most targeted receiver over the past

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. He gets cornerback Generis Jenkins um more often

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.879
<v Speaker 1>than not. Jenkins was really shaky for the first part

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 1>of the season, but as allowed just one touchdown over

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 1>his last four games. C grade on Taylor Gabriel as well,

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and then Trey Burton and epic and colossal disappointment so

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>far this year over the past five games, averaging just

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>three receptions for twenty five yards. Yuck. And the Giants

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 1>are keeping tight ends out of the end zone. Zach

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Ertz is the only tight end to score touchdown against

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:52.759
<v Speaker 1>the Giants this season. I know, um the Giants. Uh.

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Ideally Trey Burton would be a bench grade, but because

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of the dearth of talent at the position, I've I

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 1>have very liberally given him a C grade. Graciously given

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 1>him a C grade, but think twice if you've got

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 1>other options. Let's go to the Giants side. St Kwon

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Barkley gets an A grade. Pat Shermer under great scrutiny

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.360
<v Speaker 1>for last week's loss, in which set Kwon Barkley marching

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>up and down all over the field. They absolutely had

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>they were dominating the game, and then despite having a lead,

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 1>he went away from Sat Kwon Barkley in the entire

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>second half and ended up losing the game. So I

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>think we'll see plenty of Sa Kwon Barkley in a

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.800
<v Speaker 1>rebound here, but he'll likely struggle on the ground against

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a good Bears defense, although they did just give up

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns little Garrett Blunt. The Bears give up six

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>receptions per game to the receiver position, which is ninth most,

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and obviously s Kwan can help you that way. Odell

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Beckham slumps to a B grade here. In fact, let

0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:50.440
<v Speaker 1>me just talk more broadly about the Giants passing game.

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Why I don't like it. Terrible offensive line against the

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:56.839
<v Speaker 1>team that generates the most pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Eli

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Manning is gonna be under siege constantly. He's gonna have

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 1>no time to throw the ball. He's gonna be doing

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.839
<v Speaker 1>all of those inaccurate dump off passes that he does

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 1>when he gets in trouble. I hate this game for

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 1>the whole passing game, and Odell Beckham is only a

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>B because that's it. There's nothing really to like here,

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.720
<v Speaker 1>although he will see a lot of Bears corner Kyle Fuller,

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>who has allowed sixteen receptions in the past two weeks,

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 1>So maybe that's your angle for Odell Beckham. But again,

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I worry about Eli Manning having an absolutely dreadful performance,

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 1>which I think he's capable of, and all the rest

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of the receivers are on the bench. Next matchup, Colts

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Jaguars. Scott, I think this is the

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>game where Andrew Lux streak, of which I believe is

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>now at eight straight games with three or more three

0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:46.319
<v Speaker 1>or more touchdowns. I believe it comes to an end

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>right here. Wait, come on, yo, I think this is it.

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I think this is it. What do you think? You do?

0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Realize the Jags have allowed this. There's third most Fantasy

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>points to quarterbacks our last five weeks. Well that's because A. J.

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Bouyer was out for several of those games. He is back,

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>and the difference in the with and without Booyer is

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 1>jaw dropping. In fact, would you like to hear more

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 1>about it? Sure, we really don't have time for it.

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'm gonna tell you anyway. So if I'm gonna

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:13.879
<v Speaker 1>bother to look this stuff up, then I'm gonna bother

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to mention it out here. In games with a J.

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Boullier on the field, Jacksonville averages two hundred four passing

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:28.319
<v Speaker 1>yards allowed and one touchdown per game. That's it. That's nothing. Nothing. Wow,

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You've almost convinced me to drop Andrew Luck to a

0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 1>B grade. But I'm not going to do it. Okay,

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving him an A grade. You have three

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns against them in WEEKEDN again without without I think

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Luck can transcend that. I still give him an

0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 1>A grade. He charge can't be happy with any grade

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>we give Andrew Luck. I know, well if you do,

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>remember he said before the season that we were wrong

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and he should drop. We should drop Andrew I honestly thought.

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I honestly thought Andrew Luck's arm problem was going to

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>keep it. I thought now he would be good. I

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 1>really thought he was going to struggle with arms strength

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 1>based on everything we saw in the preseason, that it

0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>was gonna take six weeks for when you get his

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 1>arm strength back. I'm i'm I mentioned this in the break.

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one in Fantasy football training camp that said

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Luck is my quarterback three And at the same time,

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 1>how do we do this? The trombone and peacock interesting

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 1>because because of that I do I do like Hilton.

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I only have a B grade on Hilton. I think

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.120
<v Speaker 1>where they're gonna really attack them is the tight end.

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Lux throwing eighteen of his touchdowns to tight ends. Moiley

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Cox is out. Eric Swoop just popped up now is

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>questionable instead of likely to play, So it might just

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 1>be Eric Ebron out there. He had two touchdowns and

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine yards in the in the previous match up

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>with them. Uh In the Jags will out six touchdowns

0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 1>to tight ends in just the last four games. I

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>love Ebron here, I gave a grade to him. I

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:56.359
<v Speaker 1>am now, however, with the likelihood that Mac is going

0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to play, He's got one step left to clear protocol.

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>He's like, you're gonna play now. So that makes both

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of the running backs against a very good Jags run

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>defense benchable for me, I think the Colts are going

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to have to pass. Uh Also for me, that a

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:13.399
<v Speaker 1>grade I'm giving luck on the Jag side. I think

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:15.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm benching everyone but yelled in now. I think

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the game script favors yelled in for for some passing

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>game work. That's great in PPR leagues, But I'm not

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:24.560
<v Speaker 1>taking a Kessler run pass offense. And I think game

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:26.319
<v Speaker 1>script would go away from hide a little bit. If

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Cody Castler were any good, he'd have been the starting

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in Week five. The Millennium Falcon once did the

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Kessler run right, that's um that if for the Jaguars,

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 1>you've set it up, I like the sound of that.

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's sneak in one more matchup, Matt Cardinals taking on

0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the Packers. This is a this might be a rare.

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a pretty good grade on. I have

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 1>starting grade on on Josh Rosen. I like him in

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 1>this one. Why I do? Have you seen? Have you

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>seen the secondary that that that they're rolling out for

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the Green Bay Packers. He was almost your take home too.

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 1>He was almost at one point he was gonna be

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:03.320
<v Speaker 1>might take a chance on me. So if if you

0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>can knock like Deshaun Watson for only getting twenty five

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:08.799
<v Speaker 1>passes in a game, why do you like the guy

0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 1>who has thrown nineteen and twenty passes in his last

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:15.320
<v Speaker 1>two games. One of those games they lost to the Raiders,

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the other they were way behind on the Chargers, and

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.400
<v Speaker 1>game script favored him throwing the ball a ton and

0:40:20.520 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 1>he didn't. They just it's it's all David Johnson all

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the time. And that's when Rosen had a three touchdown

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 1>game two games ago. Yeah, but he's only throwing nineteen

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.759
<v Speaker 1>and twenty passes. That's not enough volume to give a

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Josh Rosen guy a starting grade plus. Guess what the

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>matchup just got better for David Johnson because Packers defensive

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 1>tackle Mike Daniels is out for the year. He's a

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 1>big portion of the run stuffing defense, and the last

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.320
<v Speaker 1>five weeks the Packers have given up big receiving days

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to Todd Gurley, James White, and Dalvin Cook. So that's

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 1>why David Johnson gets an A grade. I only gave

0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Larry Fitzgerald to see because he's only had six targets

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in the last two week and he's turned in a

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 1>weird STA line over those two games of four catches,

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:07.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty three yards and three touchdowns. So Josh Rosen is

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.279
<v Speaker 1>not throwing the ball often, but when he does throw,

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's going for touchdowns. So Fitzgerald's got a

0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:14.839
<v Speaker 1>decent shot at getting another one. Christian Kirk and Ricky

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Seals Jones around the bench though. Over on the other side,

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I wish we had some birthday music queued up because

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:23.399
<v Speaker 1>we got some birthday boys in this game, and their

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:26.439
<v Speaker 1>names begin with a A, and that's Aaron Jones, who's

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>celebrating his twenty four birthday tomorrow. UH Cards are allowing

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 1>over a hundred and eighty total yards per game to

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 1>running backs Both Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler were top

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 1>twelve running backs just last week against the Cardinals. So

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones gets a double A grade on his birthday

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh the other double a Aaron Rodgers. I'm giving

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>him a double B grade on his thirty fifth birthday.

0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Rogers is only top to the three hundred yard mark

0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>three times this year. He's thrown for more than two

0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns only twice, and the Cardinals are giving up the

0:41:56.520 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 1>fourth fewest passing yards and the second fewest passing touchdowns

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 1>per game. So Rogers just get to be and it's

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>probably closer to a seed. But he's at home and

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:07.959
<v Speaker 1>it's his birthday, so I'm gonna give him a little

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>bump there, Isn't that nice. Davante Adams is still in

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:18.399
<v Speaker 1>a grade. Wow, that's really nice, so super soft, happy birthday. Yeah,

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, Davante Adams is getting an A grade. He

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 1>will score a touchdown. Adams has only been held out

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of the end zone in three games this year. In

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 1>those three games, ten for one sixty five for eighty

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.399
<v Speaker 1>one in the games he didn't score, and he's beat

0:42:34.680 --> 0:42:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Rhodes, Darius Slay, Xavian Howard and Stephan Gilmour for

0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:42.320
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns this year. Patrick Peterson shouldn't scare him, Well he should,

0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:45.439
<v Speaker 1>but he keeps He always gets John Adams always gets

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the best corner you got and he almost always ends

0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 1>up winning at least one matchup. It might be time

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 1>for us to start talking about Davante Adams is the

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 1>best wide receiver in the league. Well, he's talking about it.

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>This week he said he was the best receiver in

0:42:57.920 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the league statistically. It's getting there, right, It's in the conversation.

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:03.959
<v Speaker 1>The rest of the passing game is on the bench.

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>The Cards have only allowed a hundred and forty yards

0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 1>per game to opposing wide receivers, and they all may

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>go through Adams and Jimmy Graham's still nursing the finger injury.

0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Cards are top ten and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to the tight end position, so they're all on the bench.

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Buddha Baker's the star quarterback hybrid safety that the Cardinals have.

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Without him. Last week, Philip Rivers set an NFL record

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 1>completing twenty six passes Without Buddha Baker, He's questionable and

0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 1>probably a game time decision in this one. I think

0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:35.759
<v Speaker 1>he moves Aaron Rodgers a full letter grade up and

0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:38.239
<v Speaker 1>down based on his available from the double B to

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a double A. Potentially, okay, potentially, all right, let's let's

0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>take a break when we come back. Three hot questions

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 1>for a panel of experts. I'm tempted to try to

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 1>work in a call, but I we don't have time yet.

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Three three hot questions for a panel of experts. Play along,

0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>So if you can go three and oh with our

0:43:56.160 --> 0:44:17.640
<v Speaker 1>guys after this presented by Denis on the Man, our

0:44:17.760 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>number two Fantasy Football weekly on the Fan, Paul Church

<v Speaker 1>and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you. The Crushed

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Church Challenge winner from last week is Matt. Mom. I

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>thought it was gonna be you for a second. Yeah

0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it was Mom, Harrison. That's not how you pronounced my

0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.279
<v Speaker 1>last name. I'm guessing it's mom. I'll find out in

<v Speaker 1>against my roster. Now. Fortunately for me, I don't use

0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Thursday Night Player, so I didn't get baited into I

0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:12.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't get baited into taking any Saints, which you know, somebody,

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:16.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody absolutely could have. And now now you're kind of stuck.

<v Speaker 1>winning lineup against mine. Totally free to play. Go to

0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:31.560
<v Speaker 1>grain belt dot com. Okay, let's begin here. Question number one?

0:45:32.000 --> 0:45:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Can I just drop golden tape? Scott? If you're looking

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>at me, I'm generally too positive. Every time you do

0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>one of these, I say no. I I try to

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 1>get a reason why you shouldn't this time. Yeah, sure,

0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:50.240
<v Speaker 1>drop him? What the hell? Recently a Phillies b reporter

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:53.520
<v Speaker 1>was talking about how they're force feeding him and it's

0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:55.719
<v Speaker 1>just not clicking with their offense, and they're gonna go back.

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.359
<v Speaker 1>They might be going back to more twalled personnel. Um,

0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's gonna be force fed. Is eight

0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:04.800
<v Speaker 1>targets a game anymore? And he's he's got some I

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>got some tough matchups coming on the rams. One might

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 1>be okay in week fifteen, but Dallas and Houston have

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:11.920
<v Speaker 1>been really good decently, and even the Rams are getting

0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to lead back. You know what, sabotage, drop him on

0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Monday for waivers, if you're going to do it. Scott

0:46:19.440 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 1>used a lot of the points I was going to use,

0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:25.319
<v Speaker 1>but he came up with a different answer. I said,

0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:29.320
<v Speaker 1>not yet, because he's getting eight targets per game, and

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought the schedule was pretty decent. Washington this week

0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is a good matchup. This one's fine. The Rams in

0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:37.719
<v Speaker 1>week fifteen, I think is a good matchup. The Cowboys

0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in week fourteen. By the way, he's already played the

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys twice this year. He knows the Cowboys better than

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:47.600
<v Speaker 1>anybody that's not on Dallas Cowboys coaching step and Houston

0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:50.080
<v Speaker 1>weeks sixteen. That might be a must win for Philly.

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that I'm dropping him yet. I looked

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>at it somewhere differently than all of you guys. I

0:46:56.120 --> 0:46:58.520
<v Speaker 1>think I've got him as a sea grade this week

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>next week. As again, Dallas Golden Tate is a bench grade.

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Look at what they just did to Michael Thomas for

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Pete's sake. The following week at Los Angeles, I think

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Golden Tate's a see the next week after that against Houston,

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a bench. So I got two season and to

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:13.959
<v Speaker 1>two bench grades coming up pretty much where that's that's

0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I can find guys like that at the seven eleven.

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I know Mike Zimmerken. That is a drop right there.

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging three and a half receptions and thirty one

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:25.719
<v Speaker 1>scoreless yards since he joined the Eagles. I thought it

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 1>would be better than this. I was wrong, and I

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 1>don't love his matchups enough. You can go find more

0:47:31.200 --> 0:47:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and better help off the waiver wire. Correct answer question

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>number two. I don't know that I like agreeing with

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 1>you on that. Yeah, every time Church said that he's

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna drop somebody, every always goes the wrong way every time.

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Every can I just dropped Sammy Watkins. No, not again, Matt, Yeah,

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm dropping Sammy Watkins. He's out again this week with

0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a foot injury. Uh toughest remaining schedule out there, maybe

0:47:58.239 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 1>second toughest at Oakland. Not good for wide receivers. Baltimore

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Clippers and uh Seattle Chargers not Clippers. Um, so yeah,

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm dropping Sammy Watkins. Okay, sure, I'm gonna stay negative

0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:20.719
<v Speaker 1>for dark. It's evil, Scott. It feels I don't I

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 1>feel even you're wearing all black today. That was a

0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 1>really weird choice. Is charcoal gray? My friend? Uh? Sure,

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs have the toughest fantasy wide receiver player schedule against

0:48:31.320 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers with the Ravens, Chargers, and Seahawks, who over

0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:37.279
<v Speaker 1>the last five weeks ranked number two, number one, number

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:40.080
<v Speaker 1>ten respectively. And it worries the crap out of me

0:48:40.160 --> 0:48:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that he couldn't get healthy over the over the bye

0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 1>week either, So sure drop him reoccurring foot issues that

0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:49.160
<v Speaker 1>have plagued his entire NFL career. I think there's a

0:48:49.280 --> 0:48:51.480
<v Speaker 1>decent chance they just shut him down for the playoffs

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:53.400
<v Speaker 1>at one point in here anyway, and just try to

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:55.360
<v Speaker 1>get him healthy so he's ready to go in January.

0:48:57.000 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Christ maybe Chris Connelly is the way to go. But

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you can drop Sammy Watkins. When I went through the schedule,

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 1>it looks like three benches and a C grade coming up.

0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I can find guys like that at fred Alone's Ace Hardware.

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's drop him outright, Sammy Watkins. Some really athletic guys

0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:17.879
<v Speaker 1>that hot. Question number three is Aaron Rodgers and every

0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:20.920
<v Speaker 1>week starter Scott. This is funny. I was mentioning this

0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to Matt. I have a super flex league where I

0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 1>haven't started him in weeks. Wow, so I already you're

0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:29.399
<v Speaker 1>already saying no, So yeah, it's it's uh yeah, it's

0:49:29.480 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it's an interesting one. I have luckin Watkins in that

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>or Watson. So are we considering this a one quarterback league?

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Considering this a one quarterback league with twelve team But

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I still think he's never really started. I think that

0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:43.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's maybe a matchup or two. They're gonna

0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:45.720
<v Speaker 1>be tough, but he's gonna be right around that twelve boarder.

0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 1>He's at eight team plus fantasy points in all but

0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:50.200
<v Speaker 1>two games. I know his body language says he's kind

0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of giving up, and he's like the twelfth best quarterback

0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:55.320
<v Speaker 1>in the league this year. But he's got a dreadful

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta defense, a gross Jets defense, and arrival will be

0:49:58.239 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 1>match up against the Bears. That's a team he's throwing

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 1>three or more touchdowns against three of the last four

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.839
<v Speaker 1>games and multiple touchdowns of five of the last six

0:50:05.920 --> 0:50:08.879
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago. Uh, you know what, I think they're okay,

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:12.040
<v Speaker 1>matchups enough I think he's startable, all right, So yes,

0:50:12.160 --> 0:50:15.880
<v Speaker 1>every week, every week start Yes, Okay, so he is

0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:19.279
<v Speaker 1>not an every week starter, but I would start him

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:22.239
<v Speaker 1>every week the rest of the way. How about that? Uh,

0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>just like Scott said, this week, he gets his birthday

0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:28.200
<v Speaker 1>game at home against the Cards Atlanta second worst past

0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:31.400
<v Speaker 1>defense Chicago where he always does something magical on the Jets.

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.200
<v Speaker 1>All startable grades there? All right? Yeah, I've got a

0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:35.920
<v Speaker 1>m B grades for Aaron Rodgers the rest of the

0:50:36.000 --> 0:50:38.919
<v Speaker 1>way as well. And that means that, you know, even

0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 1>though he's roughly quarterback thirteen in your league, I think

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:45.560
<v Speaker 1>he's awfully hard to bench. What's really killed him? He's

0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:50.560
<v Speaker 1>had one explosive game all year one. Normally he's you know,

0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:54.600
<v Speaker 1>every third game is an explosive game with four new

0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:57.839
<v Speaker 1>yards and three touchdowns. But whatever. Interesting to see how

0:50:58.000 --> 0:51:01.799
<v Speaker 1>we rank Aaron Rodgers going into next season when we're

0:51:01.840 --> 0:51:07.560
<v Speaker 1>doing these shows before Fantasy football training camp. Won't Football weekly,

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:10.840
<v Speaker 1>That's right, the silver anniversary we won't be talking about.

0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm confident we will not be talking about him as

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:17.560
<v Speaker 1>our number one quarterback. I don't think, uh, you know,

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:20.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe they get you know, who knows, maybe something changes,

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know we have some renewed optimism in the

0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 1>off season, but I don't think so. Let's go back

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to the matchups. Vikings taking on the Patriots afternoon game.

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the Patriots side gronks and a grade

0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:34.520
<v Speaker 1>start here. Now, the Vikings were really bad against tight

0:51:34.600 --> 0:51:36.399
<v Speaker 1>ends earlier in the season, but they've gotten a lot

0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:39.240
<v Speaker 1>better over the last four games. They've allowed just twenty

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:42.720
<v Speaker 1>three scoreless yards to tight ends. But it's a fully

0:51:42.800 --> 0:51:44.680
<v Speaker 1>healthy gronk, And how do you not give him an

0:51:44.719 --> 0:51:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a grade and start him for sure? A grade there?

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's go stay with the passing game. Let's move to

0:51:49.520 --> 0:51:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady. Arguably the toughest matchup of the year for Brady,

0:51:52.680 --> 0:51:55.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly of Savior roads goes. Over the past five weeks,

0:51:55.880 --> 0:52:00.279
<v Speaker 1>the average passing game against the Vikings one hundred eighty

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:06.799
<v Speaker 1>one yards and zero point eight passing touchdowns. That's um

0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's not like Brady's on fire either. Over his

0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:13.080
<v Speaker 1>last month of play, including games against some really wobbly secondaries,

0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:16.200
<v Speaker 1>He's only average two eight yards and zero point eight

0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:20.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns himself. So I'm I don't love Brady in this matchup.

0:52:20.600 --> 0:52:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm afraid I've got still gotta be grade out of

0:52:23.080 --> 0:52:25.760
<v Speaker 1>respect for him, and because we don't know about Xavier Rhodes.

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 1>If Rhodes plays, you could knock Brady down to a

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:31.719
<v Speaker 1>C grade in this one. Let's go to uh these receivers.

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Josh Gordon moves to an A grade. If Xavier Rhodes

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is out, He's a B grade as it stands right now,

0:52:36.400 --> 0:52:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and we don't know Rhodes is allowed. Hasn't allowed more

0:52:39.760 --> 0:52:42.279
<v Speaker 1>than thirty six yards in his coverage over the last

0:52:42.360 --> 0:52:45.080
<v Speaker 1>five games, giving up just one score over those last

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>five games. Gordon has been in a groove thout, getting

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.320
<v Speaker 1>at least seventy yards and three straight games. But you know,

0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if Rhodes is good enough to be healthy and healthy

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:56.400
<v Speaker 1>enough to play well, then he is. There is some

0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:59.680
<v Speaker 1>danger here. So the B grade on Josh Gordon right now, Julian,

0:52:59.719 --> 0:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't sorry, go ahead. Rhodes did return to practice

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:05.200
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, and Zimmer gave him a decent chance to go.

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:07.879
<v Speaker 1>He sounded very optimistic, but I'm sure this is gonna

0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:09.759
<v Speaker 1>be one of those you know, we'll warm up the

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>hamstring in the pregame and you know you're not gonna

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:16.400
<v Speaker 1>know until Unfortunately, one thirty Central Time. About with the

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:20.239
<v Speaker 1>status of Xavier Rhodes. On this one, Julian Edelman is

0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:23.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna see Minnesota's slot cornerback McKenzie Alexander, who has improved

0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot in coverage, but still this is a positive

0:53:25.960 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 1>matchup for Edelman. Over the past five games, Alexander's only

0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:32.400
<v Speaker 1>allowed an average of twelve scoreless yards per game. But

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Edelman's a focal point of a passing attack and Alexander

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:38.040
<v Speaker 1>has not been tested very thoroughly. A B grade for

0:53:38.120 --> 0:53:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Julian Edelman. And let's move to the running backs. Sony

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Michelle might need to attack through the air because he's well,

0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:48.239
<v Speaker 1>he can't attack through the air. He he might want to,

0:53:48.400 --> 0:53:50.680
<v Speaker 1>but he only has six receptions on the season, so

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's gonna work. And then here comes

0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings, no back his top eighty three rushing yards

0:53:55.560 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 1>against Minnesota, the Vikings giving up just three point six

0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:00.960
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry. That's third best. They've allowed just three

0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:04.040
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns all season long. And then muddying up the

0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:07.239
<v Speaker 1>waters for Sony Michelle, here comes Rex Burkhead and he

0:54:07.360 --> 0:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>got who knows, I mean, Rex hits you know with

0:54:09.719 --> 0:54:11.759
<v Speaker 1>with fresh legs. He's been practicing for a couple of weeks.

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:15.840
<v Speaker 1>He's fine. Um, this thing could be really dicey for

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Sony Michelle and I've only got a C grade on

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Sony Michelle and this one C grade and James White

0:54:20.800 --> 0:54:23.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. Minnesota's allowed three running backs to gain sixty

0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:26.960
<v Speaker 1>nine or more receiving yards against them this season. Um

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and other really good receiving backs have generally got it done.

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's the only way James White's gonna help. You're

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get anything on the ground. And Rex Burkhead

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:37.840
<v Speaker 1>could be a problem here too because Rex catches balls

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:40.439
<v Speaker 1>out of the backfield. So I'm showing costin on James White,

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and I've just got a C grade on him too.

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:44.560
<v Speaker 1>With all this talks of Rex Burkhead, do you start him?

0:54:44.840 --> 0:54:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, because who knows. He's a total X factor

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'd like to see what happens to one game.

0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Viking side. I've got an A

0:54:52.680 --> 0:54:56.680
<v Speaker 1>grade on Kirk Cousins because when he's not pressured, his

0:54:56.760 --> 0:55:00.719
<v Speaker 1>quarterback rating is one eleven. And Pro Football focuses that

0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots have just the twenty three best pass rush

0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and they've generated just seventeen sacks on the season, that's

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 1>third lowest in the NFL. So I think Cousins gonna

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:13.200
<v Speaker 1>be comfortable enough. And in those situations he's been good.

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And every good passer to face the Patriots has walked

0:55:15.680 --> 0:55:18.800
<v Speaker 1>away with multiple touchdowns and only Derrick Anderson has failed

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to score against the Patriots. So I like Cousins in

0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:24.920
<v Speaker 1>this matchup, and I particularly like Adam thealand an absolute

0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:28.879
<v Speaker 1>a going here against inconsistent slot corner Jonathan Jones, who's

0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed to touchdown catching three of his past five games.

0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:35.920
<v Speaker 1>For Stefan Diggs, it's a Stephan versus Stephen game as

0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:39.320
<v Speaker 1>he goes up against Stefan Gilmore and who was the

0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:43.120
<v Speaker 1>best of the cornerbacks, he shadows the opposing team's best receiver.

0:55:43.360 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I do expect Digs to play uh in this one

0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:50.600
<v Speaker 1>after missing some practice this week. Maybe volume will help UH.

0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:53.120
<v Speaker 1>No receivers seen more targets over the past month than

0:55:53.160 --> 0:55:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Stefon Diggs, and the five receivers to get double digit

0:55:56.760 --> 0:56:00.279
<v Speaker 1>targets against New England averaged almost one hundred yards and

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the five receivers caught five touchdowns, So maybe it'll work

0:56:03.600 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 1>out well for him. That way a couple more guys

0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to. Staying with the passing game, Kyle Rudolph,

0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in six of the past seven games for New England

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to tight end has gained at least fifty yards and

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:15.680
<v Speaker 1>or scored a touchdown against them. Kyle Rudolph saw his

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:18.279
<v Speaker 1>usage tick upwards last week for the first time in

0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a long time. I've got a C grade on Kyle Rudolph.

0:56:20.880 --> 0:56:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Was some optimism there and then uh. The running game.

0:56:24.440 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook. His performance on the ground has so far

0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 1>been man but and the Patriots having allowed an eight

0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:34.800
<v Speaker 1>yard rusher since Week three. Unfortunately, since his return to injury,

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Cook has caught all ten of his targets, and the

0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Patriots give up the seventh most receiving yards per game

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:41.319
<v Speaker 1>to opposing running backs. So, man, I really hope they

0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 1>used Dalvin Cook in the in the uh in the

0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:46.800
<v Speaker 1>air game here, and hopefully they will. And that brings

0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:48.880
<v Speaker 1>me to a C grade on Dalvin Cook. I've got

0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Latavius Murray on the bench. He needs a goal line

0:56:51.920 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 1>run for fantasy relevancy, and only three runners have scored

0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:59.040
<v Speaker 1>on the Patriots all year. We'll take a break when

0:56:59.080 --> 0:57:02.400
<v Speaker 1>we come back. Rams taking on the Lions. You notice

0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:04.800
<v Speaker 1>start most or almost all of your Rams, but the

0:57:04.880 --> 0:57:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Lions side's a lot more interesting. What do you do

0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:09.880
<v Speaker 1>with Matthew Stafford? What do you do with Kenny Golladay?

0:57:09.920 --> 0:57:12.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll tell you and we come back. This is Fantasy

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly, presented by green Bell Premium on the Fan.

0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly. We're gonna

0:57:35.080 --> 0:57:38.080
<v Speaker 1>dive right back into the matchups. Scott Fish Matt Harrison

0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:41.800
<v Speaker 1>with US Scott Rams taking on the Lions. I know

0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to start all my Rams or even any even questions

0:57:44.360 --> 0:57:46.400
<v Speaker 1>here job. By the way, Josh Reynolds had great, a

0:57:46.520 --> 0:57:49.400
<v Speaker 1>great opportunity in this matchup too. I have Josh Reynolds

0:57:49.440 --> 0:57:51.760
<v Speaker 1>as a B start, but he's still gonna have a

0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:55.960
<v Speaker 1>good day. He's gonna face Mike Ford, who's a second start,

0:57:56.240 --> 0:57:59.919
<v Speaker 1>undrafted free agent rookie. Yeah, and I like his chance.

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:02.280
<v Speaker 1>The Rams have three wide receivers, their big three on

0:58:02.360 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the field. All the time Reynolds had percent snaps played,

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I would almost I'm still gonna leave him in a B.

0:58:11.400 --> 0:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>But Man Woods is an A. You know, four or

0:58:14.360 --> 0:58:18.240
<v Speaker 1>seventy minimum intense straight games. Cooks is an A. He's

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:21.000
<v Speaker 1>leved the team and targets four straight weeks, averaging ten

0:58:21.040 --> 0:58:23.840
<v Speaker 1>per game. Golf is an a multiple touchdowns and five

0:58:24.000 --> 0:58:26.280
<v Speaker 1>straight lines of a lot of multiple touchdowns in all

0:58:26.320 --> 0:58:29.440
<v Speaker 1>but one game this year. Uh did the tight ends

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:31.680
<v Speaker 1>though before before the Chiefs game, No, none of the

0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:33.320
<v Speaker 1>tight ends had had more than three catches. I have

0:58:33.440 --> 0:58:36.760
<v Speaker 1>them on the bench and Girly's name obviously so over

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:39.640
<v Speaker 1>over to the over the Lions side though. I think

0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:41.840
<v Speaker 1>they will be playing catch up. So that's great for

0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Pad Stafford, who is great with garbage town numbers. Uh. So,

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I do have a pretty solid B grade on Stafford here.

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:52.480
<v Speaker 1>He has multiple touchdowns in sixth straight earlier this year

0:58:52.840 --> 0:58:56.280
<v Speaker 1>since train away Golden Tate it uh, he's only had one.

0:58:56.560 --> 0:58:58.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think he's gonna be playing catch up and

0:58:58.200 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the Rams have been lit up for three or more

0:58:59.600 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdown is five times this year. I think I can

0:59:01.520 --> 0:59:04.600
<v Speaker 1>see that happening. Kenny Golladay, I have a very strong

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:08.360
<v Speaker 1>EG grade on you can't help yourself. His worst game

0:59:08.440 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 1>since Tate left is five for ninety and that's really

0:59:11.440 --> 0:59:14.960
<v Speaker 1>his floor, honestly, uh, And I'm gonna read off his numbers.

0:59:15.000 --> 0:59:17.040
<v Speaker 1>He has nine career games with at least five targets.

0:59:17.360 --> 0:59:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Nine games of five targets, five for ninety eight a touch,

0:59:21.680 --> 0:59:24.560
<v Speaker 1>six for seventy eight in a touch, seven for one fourteen,

0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:28.040
<v Speaker 1>six for eighty nine in a touch in a touch

0:59:29.720 --> 0:59:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that's yeah, four for sixty nine and two touches for

0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:35.439
<v Speaker 1>six for fifty three in a touch. Those are games

0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in which he got nine five, five receptions, five targets, targets,

0:59:40.640 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that's yeah. Those are games where he gets over five targets.

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Is getting five targets in this game exactly. All right.

0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:48.480
<v Speaker 1>So we're starting Kenny Golladay, who I've got inside my

0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:50.960
<v Speaker 1>top ten, and you're be rating me because I don't

0:59:50.960 --> 0:59:52.640
<v Speaker 1>have him high enough. I've got him at seven if

0:59:52.680 --> 0:59:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you watched him against James Bradberry and I had a

0:59:55.040 --> 0:59:57.479
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Singing Bloom about this earlier this week. CB

0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the CB one doesn't matter. Stafford will throw because it

1:00:00.680 --> 1:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>keeps leave comes back. I had Holiday up at number

1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>five and then on the t Lead News I nudged

1:00:05.800 --> 1:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>him down to seven. I think that was that was

1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a slap in your face, in my face, I have

1:00:10.440 --> 1:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>an A grade on God. I have a C grade

1:00:12.080 --> 1:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on Ellington because of the garbage time, second most targets

1:00:15.000 --> 1:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>last week. He's kind of taking over the tape roll.

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>It's it's really PPR leaves. I'm probably I'm benching him

1:00:19.960 --> 1:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in standard, but in PPR leagues I'm giving him a

1:00:21.960 --> 1:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>C grade because I think he will get a decent

1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>amount of receptions. Blunt was your take, com and for me,

1:00:26.480 --> 1:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Riddick again that game script. I think it's the highest

1:00:29.440 --> 1:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>over under the week. I think he's going to be

1:00:31.120 --> 1:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>out on the field a lot when they're behind and

1:00:33.080 --> 1:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>catching passes. I gave him a C grade, so you're startable, startable.

1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I've got to see grade on him too, and they're

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>they're a handful of guys i'd play him over. But

1:00:42.520 --> 1:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it is a nice opportunity for sure. All right, let's

1:00:45.320 --> 1:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>let's move to our next matchup, Broncos taking on the Bengals.

1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>For the Broncos, this feels like a great opportunity. We've

1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>already listed a couple of a couple of take a

1:00:53.600 --> 1:00:57.439
<v Speaker 1>chance on me players from this matchup on the Broncos side,

1:00:57.560 --> 1:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>let alone Philip Lindsay, who I adore. Yeah, I was

1:01:00.600 --> 1:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna use case keenum As might take a chance on

1:01:02.600 --> 1:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>any quarterback. But then Jeff Driskell was dropped out of

1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the clouds too. You saw the light. He ran around

1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>really fast and I was like, oh, look at that guy.

1:01:10.600 --> 1:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Still giving case Keenum a B grade. Every quarterback except

1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for Ryan Tannehill has had an above average game against

1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals this year. And if you take out Lamar Jackson,

1:01:19.680 --> 1:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>who didn't pass at all against the Bengals, the last

1:01:23.040 --> 1:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>four quarterbacks to face Cincinnati have averaged three hundred thirty

1:01:27.320 --> 1:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>eight yards and three and a half touchdowns. It's just

1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>a great um. Philip Lindsay, he's getting an A grade.

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>In their last three games, the Bengals are allowing two

1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred three total yards per game to opposing running backs.

1:01:39.600 --> 1:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>They were the ones who started the gust bus. They've

1:01:42.040 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>also allowed the eighth most receiving yards and the most

1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>receiving touchdowns to opposing backs. Lindsay is a great, great

1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>play this week. He's my number three running back. Yeah,

1:01:51.520 --> 1:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders, I'm giving him an A grade as well.

1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:57.919
<v Speaker 1>From the slot, Sanders should face Darky's Dinard. Who's getting

1:01:57.960 --> 1:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>hard Dennard? Are you sure? Yeah? I want to say,

1:02:02.000 --> 1:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because it's weird, and so everybody corrected me. When I

1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>had that's me with Mark Quez Valdez. I can't even know,

1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I said Marquez for a while and it's Marquez. Yeah. Okay,

1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:20.439
<v Speaker 1>so dark queasy deaner who's given up a passer rating

1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>of a hundred and fifteen this season. So that meins

1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Sanders is in a good spot and Courtland Sutton was

1:02:26.360 --> 1:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>charged just take a chance on me. Wide receiver Jeff

1:02:29.160 --> 1:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Heyerman is on I R. By the way, Matt Lacos

1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>is his replacement. If you're in a two tight end

1:02:34.480 --> 1:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>mandatory league or one that requires you to use a

1:02:37.040 --> 1:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Denver Broncos tight end. On the other side, Jeff driscoll

1:02:41.280 --> 1:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>was might take a chance on the quarterback, of course,

1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixon. I'm giving him a B grade. Over the

1:02:46.680 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>last month, Denver's defense has been really good against runners

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>only three point three yards per carry. They held James

1:02:52.960 --> 1:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Connard only nine yards, kept Melvin Gordon out of the

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>end zone. Uh Lamar Miller only at forty eight yards,

1:02:59.280 --> 1:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Cream hunt On he had fifty yards on the ground,

1:03:01.240 --> 1:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but did score touchdown through the air. A running quarterback

1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>is usually good for running backs, though, and that's why

1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I like Joe Mixon here plus A J. Green is returning,

1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>which should help him out a lot. It should make

1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the field a little bit more open for Joe Mixon.

1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:16.959
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, A J. Green returning, he gets

1:03:17.320 --> 1:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a B grade and it's almost an A grade. Um,

1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a good matchup for perimeter wide receivers. Uh. Frankly,

1:03:24.960 --> 1:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>all wide receivers Juju, Robbie Anderson, Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins,

1:03:29.200 --> 1:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and DeAndre Hopkins all topped one yards. Only Woods among

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that group didn't score. Bradley Roby will end up on

1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Green as Tremaine Brock has been ruled out. Yeah, okay,

1:03:39.880 --> 1:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Brock had played pretty well lately. Yeah, Brock has been

1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>all right, but he's out this week. So Roby has

1:03:44.920 --> 1:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>been bad. He's been just torched down the field and

1:03:48.600 --> 1:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that might be the end for him. And so Tyler

1:03:50.400 --> 1:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Boyd will match up with Chris Harris in the slot,

1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:54.439
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not vibing him as much. He just gets

1:03:54.480 --> 1:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a C grade in this matchup. Finally, c j Uzoma,

1:03:57.800 --> 1:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Driskell and Uzoma our second team mates, their old buds

1:04:01.640 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>from the second team offense. The Broncos have also allowed

1:04:04.720 --> 1:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the eighth most receiving yards and touchdowns to the tight

1:04:07.600 --> 1:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>end position. They gave up ten targets, eight catches and

1:04:11.320 --> 1:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>eighty five yards to the Pittsburgh tight ends last week,

1:04:13.640 --> 1:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>so it was almost kind of a sneaky little play

1:04:15.560 --> 1:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're desperate, all right, I'm not that desperate. I'm

1:04:18.440 --> 1:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>having UM. That's because you invest in tight ends. Because

1:04:21.920 --> 1:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you do the opposite, I do the opposite. You're right,

1:04:23.800 --> 1:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>so I am invested in tight ends almost everywhere Chiefs

1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>take on the Raiders. Speaking of desperation, here's your Raiders. UM,

1:04:30.040 --> 1:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>let's start with Spencer, where you're new starting running back

1:04:32.440 --> 1:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>for the Chiefs. We talked about it the beat at

1:04:34.120 --> 1:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the outset of the show. You can hear the podcast

1:04:36.320 --> 1:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>when we posted shortly after the show. Over the last

1:04:39.280 --> 1:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, Oakland has allowed Melvin Gordon, David Johnson and

1:04:42.600 --> 1:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Gus Edwards to gain one eighteen or more yards from scrimmage,

1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:48.919
<v Speaker 1>and for the season, the Raiders are allowing five yards

1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>per carry to running backs, worse than the league. Where

1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>not nearly as good a runners hunt, but he can

1:04:53.840 --> 1:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>still be very effective in a very easy matchup um

1:04:57.120 --> 1:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>every other chief Here is an obvious eight grade. I

1:04:59.400 --> 1:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>have number one positional rankings for Mahomes for Hill, for

1:05:02.880 --> 1:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and even Harrison butt Car. So absolutely start all

1:05:07.320 --> 1:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>those guys, and we don't even need to talk about

1:05:09.080 --> 1:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Sam has been ruled out. Yes, we mentioned to kick

1:05:11.800 --> 1:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>around this show, but it's the rare number one across

1:05:14.520 --> 1:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the across the boards, and it was number one, was

1:05:17.400 --> 1:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>number one. Hunt was my number one running back? Where

1:05:20.120 --> 1:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is not? But he's still in a grade. Let's go

1:05:22.880 --> 1:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Raiders side, when I only I've got, I

1:05:24.800 --> 1:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>actually have starting grades on on a handful of players here.

1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the running backs. Jalen Rochard gets a

1:05:29.600 --> 1:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>C grade because the Raiders will likely be playing from

1:05:32.080 --> 1:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>behind throughout the game and the game script will favor Richard.

1:05:35.880 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs have been susceptible to pass catching running backs.

1:05:39.080 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Both David and Duke Johnson no relation gained over seventy

1:05:42.640 --> 1:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>five yards receiving over the last three weeks alone. Chiefs

1:05:45.760 --> 1:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have been bad against running backs of the air all

1:05:47.920 --> 1:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>year long. Jalen Rochard's a nice sneaky play here. Uh.

1:05:51.160 --> 1:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Doug Martin hasn't been half bad, but the game script

1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is terrible for him and as they probably go working

1:05:56.880 --> 1:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the opposite direction from Jalen Richard. I don't know how

1:05:59.240 --> 1:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>long they're gonna be able to run in this one,

1:06:01.080 --> 1:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's super touchdown dependent, averaging only sixty yards per

1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:07.439
<v Speaker 1>game as the starter. Um, I've got a bench grade

1:06:07.440 --> 1:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on Doug Martin, but I could see a C grade

1:06:09.440 --> 1:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>in the hopes that they they run it enough in

1:06:11.800 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the first half to help him be viable. And then

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the guy kind of like is Jared Cook. He leads

1:06:17.800 --> 1:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders and targets, he leads the Raiders in receiving yards,

1:06:20.440 --> 1:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>he leads the Raiders and receiving touchdowns. To be fair,

1:06:23.400 --> 1:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>there's nobody else there. There is nobody else there. He

1:06:26.240 --> 1:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>has scored one. Uh. He has scored in each of

1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the past two games. Casey's allowed nine yards per attempt

1:06:33.160 --> 1:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to tight ends. That's third most in the league. Cook

1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>has had two of his most successful career games against

1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs last season. So Jared Cook would be great.

1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>You think there's going to be some carbage time this week.

1:06:43.840 --> 1:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I think there might be some carbage time. I could

1:06:46.160 --> 1:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>see it happen. Uh, let's see what's working. One more matchup.

1:06:49.400 --> 1:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Forty Niner is taking on the Seahawks. Scott Matt Brita

1:06:53.480 --> 1:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>has been a fantasy find. Do you like the running

1:06:57.200 --> 1:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>game against a surprisingly tough Seahawk Runde, I actually really

1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>like Brady this week. They've allowed four straight running backs

1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to top a hundred total yards, and each of them scored.

1:07:09.120 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>The last two scored twice. Brada himself has top two

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty plus total yards and two straight in

1:07:14.520 --> 1:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the last four Seattle is allowing six point six yards

1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>per carry in the last two, grade is averaging six

1:07:19.680 --> 1:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>point six yards per carry. I think it's a great

1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>spot for him. I actually have an A grade on him.

1:07:24.760 --> 1:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I have an A grade on Kittle because it's George Kittle.

1:07:28.080 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I honestly not and yeah, I really can't. He's like

1:07:33.960 --> 1:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Galladay to me. I just can't. Um. But I'm benching

1:07:36.520 --> 1:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the passing game. A quick note, Marquis

1:07:38.840 --> 1:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Goodwin is out but right, but I just want to

1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>sew Dante Pattis, who stepped up big last week. He

1:07:46.040 --> 1:07:47.919
<v Speaker 1>led the Actually, wow, I do have a C grade

1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>on him. I missed that he led the team in

1:07:49.880 --> 1:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>targets last week and has thirteen in the last two weeks.

1:07:53.080 --> 1:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>H And with those players out, Yeah, he's he's got

1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>barely started about grade. I just want to say on

1:07:57.360 --> 1:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Marquis Goodwin, it's I want to wish him the best.

1:07:59.480 --> 1:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I know he's not listening, but it's great that he's

1:08:01.120 --> 1:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>speaking out about his depression and anxiety, especially after losing

1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>his kid last year. UM, if you do need help there,

1:08:08.200 --> 1:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>reach out to someone, keep the lines of communication open

1:08:10.680 --> 1:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>with with your family members and whatnot. Very very good

1:08:14.320 --> 1:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>on him speaking out and I wish him the best. UM.

1:08:17.320 --> 1:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>On the Seattle side, I have Wilson with an A

1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>grade with that that rushing ticking up. I know it's

1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>been a little down the last couple of weeks, but

1:08:24.439 --> 1:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he had seventy seven yards and rushing in the first

1:08:26.280 --> 1:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>seven games. He has a hundred and fifty four in

1:08:28.640 --> 1:08:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the last four and multiple touchdowns in ten of eleven games,

1:08:31.800 --> 1:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>including seven straight. The four Nighters allowed multiple touchdown passes

1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>in big games to Josh Rosen, Eli Manning and Jamis Winson.

1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I think Wilson's going to eat here. I have him

1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>as an A grade. It's not not like number one

1:08:44.760 --> 1:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>A grade, but he's still in A grade. San Francisco

1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>also lost safety Jimmy Ward to a broken form and

1:08:50.680 --> 1:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>just just Coarski Tart. That guy may not play with

1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a shoulder injury. He's good too, pretty good. Yeah, lock

1:08:58.680 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>touchdown machine. I mean he he has eight touchdown He

1:09:03.160 --> 1:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>has touchdowns in eight of eleven games, in fifty or

1:09:05.400 --> 1:09:08.599
<v Speaker 1>more yards, also in eight of eleven games. Just always

1:09:08.800 --> 1:09:11.759
<v Speaker 1>a great start. A grade now for him. Uh, Baldwin

1:09:11.920 --> 1:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>is a B for me. He's he's back, He's off

1:09:14.040 --> 1:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the injury report. He he has led the team in

1:09:16.320 --> 1:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>targets the last three weeks, but it wasn't super fantasy

1:09:19.320 --> 1:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>relevant in that but slot slot guys like Tad and

1:09:21.640 --> 1:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Theeeling and Fits and even Adam Humphreys had great games

1:09:24.120 --> 1:09:26.599
<v Speaker 1>against San Francisco, So I give him a B grade here.

1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>David Moore I liked earlier in the season. We got

1:09:29.720 --> 1:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a ton of red zone targets. He's not getting them anymore,

1:09:32.360 --> 1:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>even though he had a big game last week. I'm

1:09:34.400 --> 1:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>just I'm gonna fade him here and bench him. Chris

1:09:37.280 --> 1:09:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Carson is getting a C grade, just just barely a

1:09:39.520 --> 1:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>see grade. The four Niars have allowed the second fewest

1:09:42.040 --> 1:09:45.479
<v Speaker 1>fantasy points to running backs. Yeah, and and a hundred

1:09:45.640 --> 1:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>ten total yards by se Kwon Barkley was the best

1:09:48.479 --> 1:09:53.759
<v Speaker 1>day nobody else's top seventy total yards. Uh. It's basically

1:09:53.840 --> 1:09:55.599
<v Speaker 1>a volume play because when he's out there, he does

1:09:55.680 --> 1:09:57.479
<v Speaker 1>get a ton of volumes. I'm barely given a ce,

1:09:57.880 --> 1:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm listening to that. Uh. And you know

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Arson also has got two other backs that are ready

1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to walk in. And that's especially with the reports this week.

1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>They want to get Penny more touches this week. I

1:10:06.120 --> 1:10:08.439
<v Speaker 1>know that we don't want Penny to get more. We

1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hate when the waters get muddied. I'm moving to Carson down.

1:10:11.160 --> 1:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I just moved him down three spots just from your

1:10:13.680 --> 1:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>just from hearing you talk that through. We'll take a

1:10:16.760 --> 1:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>break when we come back. Final segment, our last two

1:10:19.120 --> 1:10:21.799
<v Speaker 1>matchups and Lightning Round will take plenty of your calls

1:10:21.920 --> 1:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>as well. Final segment, Fantasy Football Weekly. It's a win

1:10:25.520 --> 1:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and in addition, fantasy playoffs start next week. This is

1:10:29.840 --> 1:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Weekly, presented by devanes on Man. Final segment

1:10:43.439 --> 1:10:49.439
<v Speaker 1>of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul In, Matt Fishy, Matt fish

1:10:50.760 --> 1:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Fish Matt Harrison. You know that's what happens when I

1:10:53.960 --> 1:10:56.559
<v Speaker 1>start by looking at Scott and by the time I'm done,

1:10:56.600 --> 1:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Matt and then that's it my brain.

1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>It's over two final matchups to get to and then

1:11:01.840 --> 1:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll take your calls for lightning round. We begin with

1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Matt Jets take on the Titans. You already told us

1:11:07.560 --> 1:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you like Isaiah Crow. Well kind of. I don't take

1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a chance at me running back. It was a it

1:11:13.840 --> 1:11:17.479
<v Speaker 1>was a very wobbly recommendation. I was forced into taking

1:11:17.520 --> 1:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a take a chance on me running back this weekend.

1:11:19.760 --> 1:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>They're just none. I like, all right, I kind of

1:11:22.479 --> 1:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>give Isaiah roll bench grade anyway. That's terrible. Yeah, I know.

1:11:27.840 --> 1:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Alijah McGuire, he's on the bench to exactly six carries

1:11:31.240 --> 1:11:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in each of his three games this year. The change

1:11:33.840 --> 1:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>of pace back in New York always gets six carries.

1:11:36.720 --> 1:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Trendon Cannon got six carries the week before McGuire came off.

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I r I remember when that guy was a thing

1:11:42.040 --> 1:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>for a week. Yeah. Uh, Josh McCown or Sam Donald

1:11:46.000 --> 1:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and Donald may return in this game. Um, they're both

1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>on the bench because there's thirty two quarterbacks playing this weekend,

1:11:52.160 --> 1:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and you've got one that's not a Jets quarterback on

1:11:54.439 --> 1:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>your roster. The Jets offense has scored ten, six and

1:11:58.880 --> 1:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>ten points in their past four games, so everybody's on

1:12:02.439 --> 1:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the bench, and the one bright spot on their offense

1:12:04.479 --> 1:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>this year has been Chris Herndon. He scored three weeks

1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:09.479
<v Speaker 1>in a row a month ago, and now he hasn't

1:12:09.479 --> 1:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>scored in three straight. And now he plays the Titans

1:12:12.000 --> 1:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>who haven't allowed a tight end touchdown all year, and

1:12:15.000 --> 1:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they're only allowing thirty five yards per game to the

1:12:17.400 --> 1:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>position on the Titan side. I got a C grade

1:12:20.920 --> 1:12:23.639
<v Speaker 1>for Dion Lewis and a bench grade for Derrick Henry,

1:12:24.040 --> 1:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>and I dropped Derrick Henry after he was might take

1:12:26.600 --> 1:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a chance on me running back last week. I'm just

1:12:29.320 --> 1:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>done with him. I dropped him into Empire leagues, washing

1:12:34.120 --> 1:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>our hands, picked up Dante Pettis your premature speculation, and

1:12:38.920 --> 1:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna work out. It is gonna work out. Lewis

1:12:41.360 --> 1:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>hasn't scored a rushing touchdown since Week one, though he

1:12:43.960 --> 1:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>only has two total touchdowns on the season. He had

1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>seven carries for eight yards last week, but he gets

1:12:49.240 --> 1:12:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the starting grade because the Jets have been brutal against

1:12:51.640 --> 1:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the run lately. A hundred and thirty three and one

1:12:54.040 --> 1:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to Sony Michelle last week, one and two to La

1:12:57.000 --> 1:13:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Shawn McCoy the week before. Uh, they're almost splitting snaps

1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Lewis and Henry, but Lewis still leads by about a

1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty forty five margins, so Louis gets the nod. Marcus

1:13:07.200 --> 1:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Mariotta gets a B grade. Multiple touchdown passes in each

1:13:10.040 --> 1:13:12.519
<v Speaker 1>of his last three games he started and finished. He's

1:13:12.560 --> 1:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the only quarterback in the league faster than Jeff Driscoll.

1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Jets a multiple touchdown passes in seven

1:13:19.200 --> 1:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of their last eight games. That includes fantasy studs like

1:13:22.560 --> 1:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Matt Barkley, Blake Bortles, and case Keenum torching this defense.

1:13:26.960 --> 1:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>The one who didn't get multiple touchdown passes brock Osweiler.

1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll go figure, yeah, Uh, Corey Davis, I'm getting a

1:13:33.560 --> 1:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>C grade. Two. Jets cornerback Morris Clayborne has been the

1:13:36.840 --> 1:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>best part of their shaky defense, allowing three or fewer

1:13:40.000 --> 1:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>receptions in four straight games, and Davis hasn't had two

1:13:43.240 --> 1:13:46.519
<v Speaker 1>straight decent games this season. His average stat line in

1:13:46.640 --> 1:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>games after scoring a touchdown, and he scored last week

1:13:50.439 --> 1:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>three catches for forty yards. It's just absolutely every other thing. No,

1:13:55.920 --> 1:13:58.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not at every other thing. It's just he's not consistent.

1:13:58.840 --> 1:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>He's wildly inconsiderton. You never know what you're gonna get.

1:14:01.520 --> 1:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like a Marie Cooper on the Raiders. That's a

1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>good point, or a Marie Cooper on the Cowboys. Might

1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I add John U. Smith he's worth mentioning he's on

1:14:11.240 --> 1:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the bench this week. The Jets have allowed the fewest

1:14:13.120 --> 1:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>receptions and yards to tight ends this year, only four

1:14:16.120 --> 1:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns on the season. I sabotage dropped John Smith, which

1:14:19.920 --> 1:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>is a mini Sabina really has sabotaged a little a

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:25.679
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Did they spend some money? That's the key point.

1:14:25.880 --> 1:14:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I dropped him in. Uh might have been our league anyway,

1:14:29.840 --> 1:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>but you know people are so they're so hungry for

1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:35.439
<v Speaker 1>any anything that resembles a plausible tight end. People still

1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>bid on it. Uh. Redskins Eagles our final matchup of

1:14:38.880 --> 1:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>this show, and then we'll go to lightning round. But

1:14:40.800 --> 1:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>it looks it's shaping up like a long lightning round,

1:14:42.840 --> 1:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>which I love because there's not a lot to talk

1:14:44.320 --> 1:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>about on the Redskin side. We can talk about all

1:14:46.960 --> 1:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>day longer if you want me to. I'd like you

1:14:49.120 --> 1:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to keep your pants on, is what I'd like. Colton

1:14:51.200 --> 1:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>McCoy's might take a chance on the quarterback, and I've

1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>got a C grade on him. He'll be throwing to

1:14:55.400 --> 1:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Read with a C grade, and Jordan Read's first

1:14:58.120 --> 1:15:00.559
<v Speaker 1>game about Alex Smith. He continued to lead the Redskins,

1:15:00.640 --> 1:15:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and Um continued to lead the Redskins for past attempts

1:15:06.680 --> 1:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to pass receptions. But Philadelphia ranks fourth against tight ends,

1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>allowing only two touchdowns to the position. So I don't

1:15:13.400 --> 1:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>love Read here, and he's always highly inconsistent. Let's go

1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to the running back Adrian Peterson. Coinciding with the destruction

1:15:20.520 --> 1:15:23.439
<v Speaker 1>of the Redskins offensive line four weeks ago, Peterson has

1:15:23.479 --> 1:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>dipped down to three yards per carry. He's only getting

1:15:26.080 --> 1:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball fourteen times per game. The Eagles were an

1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>elite run defense for most of the year, but they've

1:15:31.120 --> 1:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>been trampled by opposing running backs on the ground to

1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:37.519
<v Speaker 1>pass three weeks Ezekiel Elliott, both of the Saints backs,

1:15:37.800 --> 1:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>say Kwon Barkley. They're giving a hundred forty two rushing

1:15:41.160 --> 1:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>yards per game on seven yards per carry over the

1:15:45.000 --> 1:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>last three games. So maybe there's a chance here for

1:15:47.600 --> 1:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Adrian to get a little something back. He used to

1:15:49.760 --> 1:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>C grade Capri Bibs and Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson is

1:15:52.960 --> 1:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>now back, so that whole that whole thing gets super

1:15:55.000 --> 1:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>ugly and you want to avoid both of those guys. Uh.

1:15:57.240 --> 1:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>The only other thing I want to mention about the receivers.

1:15:59.160 --> 1:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't start any of him, but keep watching rookie

1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>tray Quinn. He had this amazing preseason that he got hurt.

1:16:06.360 --> 1:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>They put him on i R, they took him off IR.

1:16:08.400 --> 1:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>He had a really good game last week. He was

1:16:10.880 --> 1:16:13.439
<v Speaker 1>He was arguably better than Courtland Sutton and ms U

1:16:13.520 --> 1:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>last year. Yes, there's a watch tray Quinn. If you're

1:16:17.160 --> 1:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in a deeper dynasty or Empire league and you're carrying

1:16:19.920 --> 1:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>over players for next year, I think tray Quinn has

1:16:23.280 --> 1:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a better than fifty fifty percent chance chance of being

1:16:28.280 --> 1:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the starting wide receiver for the Redskins next year. Scott,

1:16:33.040 --> 1:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you think that's crazy. No, I don't think. I don't

1:16:35.360 --> 1:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's I don't think it's crazy at all. I

1:16:37.880 --> 1:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>will mention Josh Jockson had ten targets from Cole McCoy

1:16:41.240 --> 1:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>last week too. There's some interest there too. Yeah. Oh,

1:16:43.800 --> 1:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Jamison Crowder last year of his contracts,

1:16:47.800 --> 1:16:50.160
<v Speaker 1>so I think he's done. Tray Quinn, just keep your

1:16:50.439 --> 1:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>keep a guide to dash statue if you're in a

1:16:53.280 --> 1:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>deeper Fantasy league, dynasty league. All right, let's go to

1:16:56.080 --> 1:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles side. Anybody seems to care about right now

1:16:58.760 --> 1:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>is Josh Adams, who carried the ball twenty two times

1:17:00.960 --> 1:17:04.360
<v Speaker 1>last week against the Giants. Get this, those twenty two

1:17:04.400 --> 1:17:08.439
<v Speaker 1>carries the most carries by an Eagle since Ryan Matthews

1:17:08.600 --> 1:17:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in September of ten, and he had exactly twenty two

1:17:12.600 --> 1:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>To get to more than twenty two, you have to

1:17:14.240 --> 1:17:17.479
<v Speaker 1>back up another two years. Before that, the Redskins had

1:17:17.479 --> 1:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>given up an average of twenty three carries for four

1:17:19.760 --> 1:17:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and a half yards per carry to lead backs Lamar

1:17:22.720 --> 1:17:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Miller and Ezekiel Elliott. The past two weeks, Redskins run

1:17:25.640 --> 1:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>defense was really good, but also a little bit like

1:17:27.880 --> 1:17:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles slumping a bit lately. So Josh Adams has

1:17:30.720 --> 1:17:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a B grade here, and let's hope he continues to

1:17:32.560 --> 1:17:35.160
<v Speaker 1>get the majority of the work. That's it. Darren Sproles

1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>comes back and that might factor in a little bit here.

1:17:39.400 --> 1:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Going to the passing game, Carson Wentz gets a B grade. Unfortunately,

1:17:42.760 --> 1:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Golden Tate has not been at all impactful as we discussed,

1:17:45.320 --> 1:17:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and take a chance on me, where we all recommended

1:17:47.400 --> 1:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>dropping him or two or the three of us did

1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Nelson Aguilars move outside has been an even bigger disaster.

1:17:53.080 --> 1:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>And get this, Nelson aguilar is getting more of a

1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:58.640
<v Speaker 1>snap counting Golden Tate in the last two weeks. He

1:17:58.680 --> 1:18:04.320
<v Speaker 1>has one catch for twelve yards. Why ah, so frustrating.

1:18:04.960 --> 1:18:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a disaster. All Sean Jeffrey. By the way,

1:18:07.720 --> 1:18:10.120
<v Speaker 1>since the Tape trade, here's what all Sean Jeffrey is

1:18:10.160 --> 1:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>giving you four catches for a scoreless forty yards since

1:18:14.080 --> 1:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the since the Golden Tate acquisition, all of that trade

1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>did was mess up everybody, everybody. That's what makes me

1:18:21.000 --> 1:18:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that when you had a when you had Golden Tate

1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:26.519
<v Speaker 1>as a Lion on your fantasy team, you had a

1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:29.360
<v Speaker 1>basically an every week starter. He was. He was the

1:18:29.439 --> 1:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>best restart best, he was the most reliable fantasy receiver

1:18:32.040 --> 1:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on the Lions. Butter disaster and steaming over here, right, No,

1:18:36.040 --> 1:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>he's not wrong. He's not wrong anyway. Complicating matters further,

1:18:39.960 --> 1:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>WinCE his best weapons Zacher. It's faces a defense that

1:18:42.280 --> 1:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>hasn't allowed any tight ends to top forty eight yards

1:18:44.840 --> 1:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>and they've only given up one score to the position

1:18:46.680 --> 1:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>since Week five. I'm Keith Carson, and it all sounds

1:18:49.800 --> 1:18:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like I'm saying bench Carson Wentz. I'm not. I still

1:18:51.920 --> 1:18:54.200
<v Speaker 1>think he's a B level start. I just got I

1:18:54.320 --> 1:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>have to believe things get better because there's too much talent.

1:18:57.080 --> 1:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>All Sean Jeffrey's great, Golden Tate's great. I gotta think

1:18:59.680 --> 1:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>they're unlock it sooner or later. Maybe it's this week,

1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and Carson Wentz is still a fantastic quarterback, so I

1:19:04.479 --> 1:19:07.880
<v Speaker 1>still have BE grade on him among others we should.

1:19:08.040 --> 1:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about Golden Tate a lot in this matchup,

1:19:10.320 --> 1:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>but let me just let me just mention this. He

1:19:12.000 --> 1:19:14.679
<v Speaker 1>goes up against Redskins slack corner Fabian Moreau, who's given

1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>up over one dred receiving yards twice in the last

1:19:17.040 --> 1:19:19.799
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. So maybe this is the week that Golden

1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Tate becomes relevant again. I would love to think. So

1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I've got a C grade on him here, maybe that's

1:19:24.600 --> 1:19:26.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. I've got a C grade on all Sean Jeffrey,

1:19:27.160 --> 1:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned, slumping badly lately, making matters worse. His

1:19:30.439 --> 1:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>last two meetings, Jeffrey get held the thirty seven and

1:19:33.160 --> 1:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight yards by the Washington Redskins. I think that

1:19:36.760 --> 1:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>wraps up that one. Let's take your calls and god,

1:19:40.360 --> 1:19:42.479
<v Speaker 1>we had a lot of time. Got ten minutes. We

1:19:42.600 --> 1:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>never have ten minutes. We motored through all of these matchups,

1:19:46.840 --> 1:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>no bye weeks awfully impressive motoring. Because I'm here, maybe

1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>it is um. Ryan has been on hold for two

1:19:55.800 --> 1:19:58.519
<v Speaker 1>hours and I'm not exaggerating. Thank you, Ryan, I appreciate

1:19:58.840 --> 1:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we could let Ryan have two questions if he wanted.

1:20:01.760 --> 1:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, maybe Hi Ryan, Hi? Um? I need uh

1:20:07.720 --> 1:20:12.640
<v Speaker 1>three if to be all mine? Um? Well, basically just

1:20:12.760 --> 1:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>O b j R. Brandon Cooks or Tyree Kill and

1:20:15.920 --> 1:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Man of Sanders. Yeah. Well there you have literally my

1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>number one and number two ranked receivers and those two guys.

1:20:22.000 --> 1:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's O b j Or who Brandon Cooks Man.

1:20:26.760 --> 1:20:29.479
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna do Cooks. I think has a

1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>much tougher matchup. I'm nervous. I'm super nervous about Oh

1:20:32.240 --> 1:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>b j in this matchup, Brian, because you held for

1:20:35.080 --> 1:20:37.360
<v Speaker 1>two hours. If there's something else you need, we're here,

1:20:37.439 --> 1:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>for you. I have Aaron Jones if my number two

1:20:41.439 --> 1:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>RP and Sony Michels in their pants has got a

1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>good move. Yeah, I keep Aaron Jones on. He got

1:20:46.880 --> 1:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the double A grade for his birthday game against the

1:20:49.200 --> 1:20:51.719
<v Speaker 1>terrible Cardinals this week. Yeah, and I gave Sony Michelle

1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. Absolutely, you got it right. Thank you

1:20:53.960 --> 1:20:57.439
<v Speaker 1>for checking in from Portland, Ryan, I appreciate it. Regular

1:20:57.520 --> 1:21:01.360
<v Speaker 1>caller Ben Hi Ben, Hey, guys, thanks again. I'll be

1:21:01.479 --> 1:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>strang to this point. Uh, touchdown heavy. Let's just do

1:21:05.640 --> 1:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it this way. If you had to, who would you

1:21:08.400 --> 1:21:15.360
<v Speaker 1>start for the rest of the year. Rogers? I think

1:21:15.600 --> 1:21:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's Rogers has a better schedule. Yeah, the schedule I think,

1:21:20.920 --> 1:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>not way better, but it's better. Yeah. I think the

1:21:22.760 --> 1:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>schedule favors Aaron Rodgers. Carolina is Cleveland, New Orleans, Atlanta.

1:21:28.920 --> 1:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess maybe switching I'm going to Cam. Yeah, alright,

1:21:32.360 --> 1:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe this Cam. Joe in Toronto. Hello Joe, thanks for

1:21:35.760 --> 1:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>your patients too, Ramsey, Is that would you go Hilton

1:21:40.000 --> 1:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Ova Beckham? Yes, I would almost either way. I probably would,

1:21:44.200 --> 1:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, Joe. Thank you for the column. Thank

1:21:46.280 --> 1:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you for your patients. To also in almost almost two

1:21:48.280 --> 1:21:50.719
<v Speaker 1>hours on hold, which is great. Imagine these two teams

1:21:50.760 --> 1:21:54.879
<v Speaker 1>are benching. I know, well, look it's a terrible matchup

1:21:55.880 --> 1:21:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, special and anything could happen, right, I

1:21:58.640 --> 1:22:00.679
<v Speaker 1>mean would I'd be surprised me at the twenty yards

1:22:00.680 --> 1:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and two no sounds no, because he's Odell Beckham. But

1:22:03.080 --> 1:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>the matchup is it's their rosters are that good. There's

1:22:07.680 --> 1:22:10.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good wide receivers in the league now, Jordan,

1:22:10.560 --> 1:22:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Hello Brady or golf Brady or golf golf way higher.

1:22:16.920 --> 1:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I do too, Yeah, absolutely, thank you. Jordan's uh

1:22:20.680 --> 1:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Jesse your next. Yeah, Packers are rammed. It's two points

1:22:25.360 --> 1:22:28.280
<v Speaker 1>per Shack bought his points were holding opposing team to

1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>low points in yardage. I think it's definitely the Packers

1:22:32.160 --> 1:22:35.560
<v Speaker 1>at home against a rookie quarterback, for sure. Could I

1:22:35.640 --> 1:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>do one more? No, I'm afraid you can't. The way

1:22:37.800 --> 1:22:40.559
<v Speaker 1>this way this You can call in again, I mean,

1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:43.360
<v Speaker 1>like anybody can, Jesse, just que back up. We got

1:22:43.360 --> 1:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot. We still got like seven more minutes a

1:22:45.240 --> 1:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>lightning round, so feel free to call back. So you

1:22:48.120 --> 1:22:51.760
<v Speaker 1>know how this works. It's one question players, I didn't

1:22:51.760 --> 1:22:54.439
<v Speaker 1>actually say it this time, so you should retract your

1:22:54.439 --> 1:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>packers answer, Nate, you are next. He would have got

1:22:58.800 --> 1:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the second question. Uh, I gotta I need a flex

1:23:03.200 --> 1:23:07.920
<v Speaker 1>for a standard Sony Michelle or Dalvin Cook. Um, I'm

1:23:07.960 --> 1:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>really down on Michelle in this one. I would start

1:23:10.040 --> 1:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to Alvin Cook for reasons. I I think Belichick tries

1:23:14.760 --> 1:23:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to take away the lands. I think so too, and

1:23:17.439 --> 1:23:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to get a running game going and they

1:23:20.400 --> 1:23:24.519
<v Speaker 1>should be able to pass to Cook too. Brian, Hello, Yeah,

1:23:24.560 --> 1:23:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta. It's a quick one for you. Either theo

1:23:26.840 --> 1:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>ritic or it was ridd Or Whore Bret Okay, it

1:23:33.479 --> 1:23:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was it breat or Drake. Oh, I don't know. I

1:23:36.320 --> 1:23:38.160
<v Speaker 1>love him go because that's how that's a lightning round.

1:23:38.600 --> 1:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You listen to the answer. You know, I'll just I'll

1:23:40.960 --> 1:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>just take Riddick then, all right, if it's bright, I

1:23:44.040 --> 1:23:46.720
<v Speaker 1>would start, I would start, Yeah, I like, yeah, I'll

1:23:46.760 --> 1:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>go break Riddick Drake in that order. Stephen, your next,

1:23:50.600 --> 1:23:57.559
<v Speaker 1>good job, Uh, standard scoring quarterback Deshaun Watson or Kirk Cousins.

1:23:59.760 --> 1:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm to take DeShawn Watson in this game. I think

1:24:01.960 --> 1:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that the Cleveland defense is pretty weak. Like the matchup

1:24:05.200 --> 1:24:08.519
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better. Dan, Welcome to the fan. This week.

1:24:09.120 --> 1:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanna know PPR black Jordan Howard or Gallady Kenny Golladay.

1:24:16.960 --> 1:24:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I like Jordan Howard a lot in this match I

1:24:18.760 --> 1:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>actually do too. I like how I never like Howard,

1:24:20.800 --> 1:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I like him in this like him in this matchup

1:24:22.280 --> 1:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot. But they'll take Kenny Golladay and what feels

1:24:24.840 --> 1:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>like a terrific matchup? Nick, you're next. Yes, I'm looking

1:24:29.280 --> 1:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>at a PPR league flex position. Neither Spencer where or

1:24:33.960 --> 1:24:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook? Is it me where? I have where? Probably

1:24:37.680 --> 1:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is a top five back when I when I get

1:24:39.320 --> 1:24:41.360
<v Speaker 1>done with it this week, Um, I've got him, I

1:24:41.400 --> 1:24:46.559
<v Speaker 1>think sitting around ten right now. But that's it's He's

1:24:46.560 --> 1:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna can score so many ways though too. Yeah that's

1:24:49.320 --> 1:24:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bob. Your next HI standards scoring quarterback Roethlisberger or

1:24:55.160 --> 1:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Luck Roethlisberger finally next year. So that's really tough in

1:25:02.200 --> 1:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a tougher matchup. But yeah, Luke, you're next, alright, PPR

1:25:07.320 --> 1:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>league Stills or Parker. Yeah, you know you have a

1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Miami receiver rule in your league. You have to start

1:25:15.760 --> 1:25:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a Miami a FC East only league. Uh, Parker, I

1:25:23.479 --> 1:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>do not. I think it's still still I think it's

1:25:26.920 --> 1:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>still I'm gonna go Stills, and we'll hope for one

1:25:29.040 --> 1:25:31.479
<v Speaker 1>of those long times and long touchdowns that we were

1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:34.120
<v Speaker 1>getting in weeks two and three that we haven't seen since.

1:25:34.280 --> 1:25:37.040
<v Speaker 1>What Tannehill is back now? The Miami Dolphins on Twitter,

1:25:37.080 --> 1:25:39.080
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to get Kenny Stills into the Pro Bowl.

1:25:39.680 --> 1:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>What they're trying to get people to vote Kenny Stills.

1:25:43.479 --> 1:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I saw, I saw a I saw a quote from

1:25:46.120 --> 1:25:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Stills yesterday saying I can't throw the ball to

1:25:48.960 --> 1:25:54.000
<v Speaker 1>myself and right sometimes squeaky will squeaky will get you know,

1:25:54.160 --> 1:25:59.600

<v Speaker 1>Carson just off a pure volume. Tom you are next

1:27:08.720 --> 1:27:12.120
<v Speaker 1>on the fan, Shawn Watson or a little Lamar Jackson.

1:27:13.120 --> 1:27:17.799
<v Speaker 1>M m oh come on, oh come on, it's actually

1:27:17.800 --> 1:27:21.880
<v Speaker 1>they're close. Yeah yeah Watson for me. I love Lamar Jackson.

1:27:22.080 --> 1:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I know that you do. Man. I'm still man. I

1:27:24.439 --> 1:27:26.120
<v Speaker 1>have a Lucky I have a league with Luck Mahomes

1:27:26.200 --> 1:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and Lamar Jackson. I can't can't get him in the roster.

1:27:28.920 --> 1:27:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing about Lamar Jackson. It's so much fun

1:27:31.680 --> 1:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to watch him come watching every time. Every time he

1:27:35.400 --> 1:27:37.439
<v Speaker 1>tucks and runs and wick it could be fifty yards.

1:27:38.080 --> 1:27:40.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just so much fun. And at some point fantasy

1:27:40.960 --> 1:27:44.599
<v Speaker 1>football should be fun. Lamar Jackson is fine, and you've

1:27:44.640 --> 1:27:49.120
<v Speaker 1>convinced that people should play super flex. All right, Mark,

1:27:49.160 --> 1:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you're next. Hello, you're up? Yeah? Um halfpoint PPR. I'm

1:27:55.960 --> 1:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna Guillotine League. So with Antonio Brown and Tyree locked in,

1:27:59.400 --> 1:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>do I go didn't cook their Austin Ekeler? Who? Um?

1:28:04.320 --> 1:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I would go Brandon cooks even with the tougher matchup

1:28:07.000 --> 1:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>on against Darius Slay Eckler, I think it's going to

1:28:09.800 --> 1:28:12.200
<v Speaker 1>be in a fifty fifty time share. I don't think

1:28:13.680 --> 1:28:17.160
<v Speaker 1>enough to cooks enough. I'm leaning, Yeah, I lean cooks.

1:28:17.200 --> 1:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I think gets touches. And congratulations to get into this

1:28:20.360 --> 1:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>stage of the of the Guillotine League. You out survived me.

1:28:23.360 --> 1:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll survive Fish, although Matt Harrison is still alive. By

1:28:25.840 --> 1:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the way, the last time Gordon, the last time Gordon missed,

1:28:29.120 --> 1:28:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Ekeler played snaps. He's Brilli in there. Okay, I like that.

1:28:34.439 --> 1:28:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that stat. That's a good stat. Uh. Mark,

1:28:38.200 --> 1:28:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you are next, and our final call standard league Watson

1:28:42.600 --> 1:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>or will uh Winston. I've got Watson a couple of

1:28:49.960 --> 1:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>spots ahead. Um, I've Winston's got a nice matchup, but

1:28:53.760 --> 1:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, Watson has been very good and if this

1:28:56.080 --> 1:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>turns into a game, will they actually let him throw

1:28:57.840 --> 1:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>more than twenty five times? Then? What if it's a

1:29:00.000 --> 1:29:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's crazy beside passing yardage heavy? Well maybe yeah,

1:29:05.160 --> 1:29:08.879
<v Speaker 1>he said standard, but depending on his version of standard,

1:29:09.040 --> 1:29:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, what standard actually means is up for debate. Um,

1:29:12.520 --> 1:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to all the Cream Hunt owners, I'm sorry that you

1:29:15.160 --> 1:29:17.120
<v Speaker 1>deserve a better faith than this. It's sad that this

1:29:17.400 --> 1:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it worked out this way in a deeply unfortunate situation.

1:29:20.439 --> 1:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully you can cobble together some playoff wins anyway. Um,

1:29:24.400 --> 1:29:27.799
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully you had you hopefully you had Spencer wear anyway,

1:29:27.800 --> 1:29:29.519
<v Speaker 1>which would have been which would have been the right

1:29:29.560 --> 1:29:31.799
<v Speaker 1>thing to do to begin with, to secure your handcuff

1:29:31.960 --> 1:29:34.160
