00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice,

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Now from dante leagues dot com. Here's your host, Paul.

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly, a San Francisco edition. Would you

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: call it a San Francisco Treats? I think I would do,

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, And that might even be

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: the title of the show this week. Those are the

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: voices of Matt Harrison and Scott Fish respectively. It is

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: the title of this show, the San Francisco treat This

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest in season trades with Fantasy

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: ramifications in memory. This is this is gigantic, potentially putting

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey into a position to be the highest scoring

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy player from this point forward. At if it's any

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: indication he went to the place where running backs go

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: to get injured. And that makes me a little nervous.

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: The injury thing is gonna be interesting for me because

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: like it wasn't injured playing on crass and grass in college,

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: wasn't injured the first three years in Carolina playing on grass.

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: They switched the turf injured multiple years in a row.

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: He goes back to grass, but that might get injured

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: all the time. There's so I don't know. Maybe there's

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: a curse. So if you already, if you own Christian McCaffrey,

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: you can name your price right now, right, I mean,

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think the buzz and the optimism right

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: and it it seems to me eight times out of ten,

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: had you made the deal when the buzz was at

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: its fervor to come out on the better side, what

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: would it take to get you to trade away Christian

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: McCaffrey right now? What kind of deal are you looking for?

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor plus another you know is there. I'm just

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: not doing not doing it. I'm just not doing it.

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: I think he has the chance to be potentially RB

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: one coming for the through the end of the season.

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I want that on my roster. I feel like Kyle

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: Shanahan is the type of guy that can scheme plays

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: to make his best players really really good. And he's

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: showing they don't pass their running backs a lot. But

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: that's gonna change. Cam Newton never threw to running backs

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: until they got Christie McCaffrey, So that's gonna change. Kyl

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Shanahan has a way of making his best players effective,

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and he's got a brand new toy. I want that

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: for the ride. So I I show up and I

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: care for you. The second the highest scoring running back

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: today probably say, and I'm gonna throw in an elite

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Jamaar Chase. You're still you're doing that? Yeah,

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's offering that. But how about this?

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: How about this? I mean there's there's always a price

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: for Mark Andrews being that the tight end position. Those

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: two guys are like different, a whole other level ahead

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: of the next wider next tight end, Like zach Ertz

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: is like the number three tight end right now, but

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: it takes two zach Ertz to get to Mark Andrews

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: right now. So like if the Travis Kelsey owners, like,

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I'll take McCaffrey off your hands for Kelsey, I think

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I do it. See I'm not. Yeah, you know, I

57
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: I think I think if you own Christian McCaffrey, I'd

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: find out what's out there, you know, I think I'd

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: find out. I'd find out what be blown away because

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: somebody might do that. So you're gonna you're gonna get

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: an overpay. We already know that it's just will somebody overpay.

62
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Do you think this is a public message board thing

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: in your league or do you reach out privately in

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: d m s to several owners and go, no, I

65
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: want to compete against each other, so I want to.

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: I hit it. I do it across my I do

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: it on the message board I hit the eleven other

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: owners in my league with hey, Christian McCaffrey is available,

69
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: best offers. I'm listening. Sure, why not? And if you

70
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: drafted Christian McCaffrey, he hasn't, you know, fired all that

71
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: well this year, so you're probably in a bad spot

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: right now anyway, and you probably need to get two

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: players for Christian MC for you to maybe bolster your chance.

74
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I think I think you can do it, you know,

75
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: and maybe get somebody who's already had had a bye week.

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: DAMMI Damian Pierce is involved in this deal. Derrick Henry,

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is involved straight up, But honestly, yes, I would,

78
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: honestly I would. All right, let's talk more about what's

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: coming up. Over the course of the show. We're gonna

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: break down all the games as we always do. Uh,

81
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: and that will begin with Bucks and Panthers in just

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: a minute. But we also will answer three tough questions,

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: will take a chance on nine players, and we'll have

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: premature speculation featuring that guy right there. We love and all.

85
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: We got some big names coming up. I'm premature speculation.

86
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about. Let's begin with the Bucks taking

87
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: on the Panthers. Scott. So we've been talked talked a

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: lot about the San Francisco side of this deal. This

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: leaves the Panthers in a really spot. Obviously, you know

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: they're not playing for this year. The presumed starter for

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: the Panthers is going to be down to four A

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: man running back. Yeah, yeah, So I've had the Panthers

93
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: a few times this season, and I'm usually it's usually

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: been start Christian McCaffrey maybe and bench everybody else early

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: in the season, maybe Dgmore. Now it's just bench everybody,

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: just bench the whole Panthers. I put in our little

97
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: show Slack earlier this week. Is any Panther going to

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: get a starting grade for the rest of the season.

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure that even happens. Any Panther.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: There may not be even a C grade for any

101
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Panthers have to be a heck of a matchup, and

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: this isn't a good one, Dallas is. It's it's a

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: pretty tough d on. The Bucks are pretty tough, pretty

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: tough d on both on both fronts. They're only allowing

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: ninety four yards in a score on average in the

106
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: run game, and that's probably gonna get split between Cuba

107
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and Dante. Another thing I saw this week, guess how

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: many times how many plays the Panthers have run inside

109
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: the five this year? You love your inside the five

110
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: nine times? Oh, I can only hope two geez two

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: plays inside the five in six weeks. So even if

112
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: one is a bulldozer at the goal, you're not a

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: guy that they're all on the bench. Let's go over

114
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: to the Buck side. Can't just say they're all in

115
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: you're starting line up? Pretty much? That is that how

116
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: it works. Uh. Brady hasn't been lights out, but he's

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: getting a C grade here. Um uh. This is one

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: where the Bucks should get ahead. So he might not

119
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: have like a B level grade in him, but there

120
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: are ten point five favorites. Brady might get enough on

121
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: the way to that lead. He's averaging um in wins.

122
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: He's averaging about two yards in a score. Sadly, that's

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: that's uh not very good. But the Panthers are allowing

124
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: about two fifty yards and just short shy of two

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: scores per game. I think he'll be a little closer

126
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: to that this week. That's probably C level. He might

127
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: lean into B level. The fact that they'll be leading

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: leads me to leave him around the sea. I have

129
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: a B grade on both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

130
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: as I feel like late in the game in the

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: second half, they're gonna leave on the run here and uh,

132
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: but they'll get up there against the eighth worst d

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: against Fantasy wide receivers, allowing seven players to hit eighty

134
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: yards and or a score in the last four weeks alone.

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: So the one and the two are getting work done

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: against this Carolina Panthers team. And Evans and Godwin get

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: over six of the target share, so they're getting there.

138
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Is Godwin has six catches in three straight, sixty plus

139
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: yards in three straight. He's really really safe. Mike Evans

140
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: gets you most of his touchdowns. It should be noted

141
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: that Mike Evans goes will be going against um Dante Jackson,

142
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: who is considered a shutdown corner, but he let Chris

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Alave go for a hundred plus and two scores just

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. And the last time Evans

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: faced him, Evans went for six and eighty nine and

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: two scores. Alright, So and what is it about six

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: five and five tents? So what have we got a

148
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: seven inch difference there too? That helps ye, that will

149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: help Kate ont And I thought about making this guy

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me player. I have a

151
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: C grade on him. Just a couple of weeks ago,

152
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: when Cameron Brad missed the week, he played of slaps

153
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: snaps and he he ran more routes than any other

154
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: tight end in the NFL that week. He was really

155
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: out there. He has three red zone targets in the

156
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: five quarters he's played without Cameron Brad in the game.

157
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: He went two for twenty three last week when Brad

158
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: went out, he uh he had a seven targets, six catch,

159
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: forty three yard day in the whole game that Bright

160
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: was out. It seems like Brady actually trust him and

161
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: they actually want him running routes. Um, so I have

162
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: him with a C grade. I think he gets it

163
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: done here. If you're in a pinch in a bye week,

164
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: then this is a perfect guy, perfect perfect guy. And

165
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and Brad might be out for a little bit. We

166
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: don't know that neck injury scary, so uh, Leonard Fournett,

167
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I have an A grade on you. I told you

168
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: that the Casey game for for the Casey game for

169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: four net and his three carries was simply game script.

170
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: As me from a few weeks ago, I was I

171
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: was very mad that that was That was all game script,

172
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: only three carries. Since then, he's had a twenty four

173
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: touch and a twenty seven touch game. He actually caught

174
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: at least five passes in four straight games. The volume

175
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: of the past game work, the likely game script of

176
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: being ahead against the Panthers team six worth worst against

177
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the run, that gives a lot, gives up seven running

178
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: back touchdowns over the course of these six games, and

179
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred fifty Comboy yards per game. Sign me up.

180
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't see anyway he doesn't get an A grade here.

181
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I have him ranked as the top six running back.

182
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I do have Rashod White on the bench. However, this

183
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: is a close one though. If the but if you

184
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: do believe the Bucks are going to blow demoralized Carolina team.

185
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: That might be some fourth quarter you know me. I

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: like Rashade White. He was a preseason sleeper. I had

187
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: him on a premature speculation before. I think I might

188
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: have even taken take on him. New is in his

189
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: six for five catch fifty yard week anyway. Uh, he

190
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: could get some late game work. But he's only gained

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: seven to eight touches, and last week he only had

192
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: two touches. It's a three touches. It's a little scary

193
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: for me to, you know, throw him out there with

194
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: how little the volume he is getting. It seems like

195
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: Lenny's getting up into that high twenties and touches. All right,

196
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Jets taking on the Broncos Matt

197
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: On the Jets side, Bruce Hall has turned into a

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: freaking beast, and he's just in my mind almost in

199
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: every week a great here is it Briest mode? How

200
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: about that? Oh I'd like it. That's out there, that's

201
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: out there, that's how I like. Oh man, I just

202
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: came up with that in my brain and it is

203
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: out there. But let's just give you credit for it,

204
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: all right. I have not heard that before, but I

205
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: love it now. The Broncos are good defense, but I

206
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: still love Briefe Hall here. Yeah, I'm giving him. I'm

207
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: giving him an a Here has at least twenty opportunities

208
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: in each of the last three games, clearly leading the

209
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: backfield over Michael Carter, who's now just the change of

210
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: pace back. I will give Carter a playable see here, though,

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: is the Broncos are kind of a strange defense against

212
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: the run. They're allowing four points six yards per carry,

213
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: which is the tenth worst in the league. They're also

214
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most receptions per game, and both Carter

215
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: and Breece are pretty good at catching the ball out

216
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: of the backfield. But they haven't really allowed a big

217
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: day to the running back because they don't allow many scores.

218
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Only three touchdowns allowed to the running backs on the season,

219
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: all on the ground, zero through the air, zero through

220
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: the sea. God no no no aqua touchdowns. Zach Wilson,

221
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, and the disgruntled the Eli Jahmore

222
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: are all on the bench. More has essentially been given

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: a week off to cool down. He'll be inactive this

224
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: week since Geno Smith through for one and two scores

225
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: in Week one. The Broncos are allowing passing yards per

226
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: game and have only allowed one passing touchdown. It's five weeks.

227
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Is fantastic. Yeah, it's pretty good. They've also allowed the

228
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: third fewest wide receiver yards. It's definitely a running back

229
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: game against Denver. On the Denver side, the Jets are

230
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: literally the middle of the pack eist defense in every

231
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: category against every position by Jet standards. That's awesome. Good job, Jets.

232
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: You're up the middle of the perfect. So if you'd

233
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: normally start a Bronco here, you're still going to start them.

234
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: And if you normally wouldn't, you wouldn't. Russ Wilson probably

235
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: a C start in super flex leagues where you have

236
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: to start two quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Matthew

237
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: Stafford and Kirk Cousins all on by this week, Wilson

238
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: would have to be startable in those situations. In single quarterbacks,

239
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: I think you can leave him on the bench. He

240
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: now has a hamstring injury that has him limited in

241
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: practice to go along with the shoulder, and there was

242
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: talk that Brett Rippon might start. Don't He's got Wolverine blood.

243
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: So there we go. But Rogers managed to forty six

244
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and a score last week against the Jets, and that

245
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: sounds about right for us this week. Uh, Courtland Sutton

246
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: and Jerry Judy. I'll give them both C grades, but

247
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. Uh. Sutton was shut

248
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: down by the Chargers last week, only three targets and

249
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: two catches for fourteen yards. But he has seen double

250
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: digit targets and three of the prior or. Jerry Judy

251
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: has fifty three or fifty four yards in each of

252
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: the last three games. Uh, they like him for fifty

253
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: three and a half this week. You know, if they

254
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: gave half yards he'd probably hit that mark, like perfectly.

255
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: The Jets have actually allowed the seventh fewest yards and

256
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: receptions to wide receivers, but the tenth most touchdowns. So

257
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: low yards and a chance at a score is what

258
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: you're looking at here. You can't expect more for the

259
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: averages for these guys. Greg Dulcitch is a name to watch.

260
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: The rookie played his first game last week and caught

261
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: a thirty nine yard touchdown past when he was left

262
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: wide open. Let's see if they ramp up the routes.

263
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: And then finally the running backs. Nathaniel Hackett had some

264
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: sort of sit down heart to heart how wow with

265
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon and they because he was upset about the usage.

266
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: After the summit meeting, they said, Melvin will be more involved,

267
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: but have they touched base with Mike Boone or come

268
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: to Jesus with Latavius Murray. My guest, the Broncos will

269
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: leverage their synergies correctly and all three will be involved,

270
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: which means none of them are start worthy and are

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: all on your bench. I don't want any part of that.

272
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: I hope you on that. Fantasy Football Weekly Returns and Moments,

273
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: including nine players upon whom you can take a chance

274
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: in a tricky bye week. It's the bike Acalypse edition

275
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly. Take

276
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: a chance on me. This is a segment in which

277
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: we unveil nine players upon whom you can take a chance.

278
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: It's a brutal bye week. We haven't even talked about

279
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: this yet. Bill's Rams, Vikings Eagles. These are some of

280
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: the elite offenses in the NFL. You're grambling for players,

281
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: and we're here to help. Beginning at the quarterback position,

282
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Scott Fish. Yeah, I'm going a little deeper this week

283
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: with a little uh well, maybe it's not that deep,

284
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: but Davis Mills versus the Raiders last week was a

285
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: terrible spot for Davis, But this week he gets a

286
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: bottom five pass defense who has allowed multiple touchdowns to

287
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: all five quarterbacks they faced two, sixty, six, to three,

288
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: and twenty yards and each of those as well. Mills

289
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: has really been in the two to two score range,

290
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: but this upcoming game is easily his easiest easiest matchup

291
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: so far. All right, next quarterback, take a chance on me, Matt.

292
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I've got Marcus Mariota, who's currently a top twelve quarterback

293
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: in most formats. He's really doing it with his feet.

294
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: Three games of over fifty rushing yards, three games with

295
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: a rushing score. He hasn't top two or twenty nine

296
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: passing yards all season, and he's facing a Bengals defense

297
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: that's seen one running quarterback this year. That was Lamar Jackson.

298
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: He was able to scamper for fifty eight yards and

299
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: then I dug into a deeper Here's the quarterbacks the

300
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: Bengals have faced this year. Mitch True, Bisky, Cooper, rush,

301
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, Teddy Bridgewater for more than half a game,

302
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton. All five of those are back up quarterbacks.

303
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's a little smoke in mirrors about

304
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: how good this Bengals defenses. And let's see if Marcus

305
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Mariota can put up some numbers and they may have

306
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: to actually finally pass, because only the Bears are are

307
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: passing less than the Falcons are, but they're probably at

308
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: a deficit against a good Bengals offense, and maybe they've

309
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: got to pass a little bit more, which would be helpful.

310
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan quietly is second in the NFL and passing

311
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: yards Berg came behind only Josh Allen. Matt Ryan. His

312
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: two best games of the year are both positive harbingers

313
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: for this week's matchup with Tennessee. Last week, Ryan exploded

314
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: for a most four hundred yards and three scores. That

315
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: was just last week, and his other really good performance

316
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: was against the same team he's playing this week, Tennessee

317
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: three fifty yards and two touchdowns. Titans have allowed multiple

318
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in every game and over three hundred passing

319
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: yards in fourth straight. I love Matt Ryan this week.

320
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Great opportunity. Let's go to the running back position. Scott, Yeah,

321
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: I have a guy here that you're probably not gonna

322
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: find on waivers. But you probably also haven't started him

323
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: most of the time because he just hasn't had good

324
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: games or matchups. But that's Tony Pollard. Lawrence Jackson mentioned

325
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: of NBC Sports mention that his bi weekly huge run

326
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: is the reason that that people think he might be good,

327
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been good so far. Pollard wasn't the

328
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: most efficient last week, but again saw thirteen touches for

329
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: the third time in a row and has at least

330
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: eight touches in every game. This week, he gets a

331
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions team allowing five point five yards per carry,

332
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: second most rushing yards per game, most rushing touchdowns per

333
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: game to running backs, and they're gonna and it's gonna

334
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: probably be a decently high scoring game. That eight to

335
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: thirteen touches at those clips should be pretty good for

336
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard here, all right, you'll take a chance for

337
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: me running back Matt a little gross. I got Sony Walkman.

338
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: Michelle Ashua Kelly was a non participant with a knee

339
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: injury and Wednesday and Thursday's practice, so Sony Michelle is

340
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: the clear number two to Austin Ekeler in the Chargers backfield.

341
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Michelle did tally eight carries and three receptions last week

342
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: against Denver, while Austin Ekeler saw thirty opportunities in that game.

343
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: But they can't use Ekeler like that. They have to

344
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: give him some time off. This week, the Chargers face

345
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: the Seattle defense that is allowing the most combo running

346
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: back yards in the league. Had a hundred and fifty

347
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: eight per game, plus four point six yards per carry

348
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: an eight point one yards per reception. Michelle is gonna

349
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: get ten touches at the minimum, so that's like forty

350
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: to sixty yards pretty easy here if it helps. Forty

351
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: yards never comes easy to Sony Walkman, but the opportunity, sure,

352
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: we'll be there. Josh Kelly is going to be out now,

353
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, might take a chance to be running back

354
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: is Kenyan Drake. He'll be your lead runner with j K.

355
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: Dobbins ruled out and probably expected to miss more than

356
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: a month. Michael on I R, and honestly, I think

357
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, we hope he does go on

358
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: I R so we can stash him. Uh Drake will

359
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: are the load like he did last week. He ripped

360
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: off last week Kenyan Drake to thirty yard runs and

361
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: a twenty yard run. That's not the Kenyan Drake we know.

362
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: The Browns defense is allowing the fifth most rushing yards,

363
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: the second highest yards per carry five and a half,

364
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: and the most touchdowns per game to opposing running backs.

365
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: It's a premost spot for Kenyan Drake. Let's go to

366
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: the receivers and Scott Fish. I am doing a tight

367
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: end for my receiver this week, and it's gonna be

368
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Bellinger, who I keep talking about because I want

369
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: to make him happen. I feel like then you're you're

370
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: to speaking into exist. Yes, it feels like I've been

371
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: talking about him a lot. Uh. Last week he had

372
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: he played percent of the snaps each week. His snaps

373
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: has increased. Last week, he led the team in targets,

374
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: leads the Giants and wide receiver tight end red zone opportunities,

375
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: scored in back to back and scored in three out

376
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: of the last five. Also has a rushing touchdown that

377
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: you can throw on there. This season gets a Jags

378
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: d who has allowed an average of about five for

379
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: fifty five to tight ends over the last three weeks.

380
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: I can see that for Daniel Bellinger this week that

381
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: would be all right. We take that this is the type.

382
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: These five weeks are very tricky for tight ends. That's

383
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: why I did It's a position. I like that your receiver, Matt.

384
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I've got Hayden Hurst in a revenge game. Uh might

385
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: be a little extra revenge for this one, seeing is

386
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: how he was a pretty good tight end for Atlanta

387
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: in his first year there. Then they drafted Kyle Pitts

388
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: and like just cast him aside like an old, moldy

389
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: bag of tangerines. Can I coin a term here? It's

390
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: not only a revenge game, it's a twist the knife game.

391
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: We're going hard for better or worse. He's really angry.

392
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: He has a mental health foundation to uh so. Hurst

393
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: is facing his former defense that doesn't know how to

394
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: cover the tight end position at all. They've allowed the

395
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: second most receptions and the third most yards to tight

396
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: ends this year and they have not faced anyone like

397
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or Mark Andrews. Hurst will go for at

398
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: least seven in the yards and a score this week.

399
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: Mark it down. Jacoby Myers, Nobody nobody has ever excited

400
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: about starting a member of the Patriots passing attack. I know,

401
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm not was back when Terry Glenn was plane. Oh yeah,

402
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: those are those are the good old days when Randy

403
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Moss the coach. Jacoby Myers runs two thirds of his

404
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: place from the slot where he's gonna face Bears rookie

405
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: cornerback Kyler Gordon. What's notable about him? He's allowed the

406
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: most yards in coverage and the second most yards after

407
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: the catch from the slot. That is rare. You have

408
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: to be a special kind of bad to do that. Uh. Myers, meanwhile,

409
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: has been shockingly consistent. He stopped fifty five yards in

410
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: every game he stopped nine yards and two of the

411
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: last three. Let's tepe Bailey's appy keeps starting because there's

412
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: a little there's a little something there. I don't think

413
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I don't think it's gonna happen either.

414
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna I'm miss I think mistakenly go

415
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: back to Mac Jones. Nevertheless, Jacoby Myers and either spot

416
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: a fine play this week. Let's get back to our matchups.

417
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: Brown's taking on the Ravens will start on the Brown side.

418
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is always in a grade, but let me

419
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: note that Baltimore is a good run defense. Over the

420
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: past month, Joe Mixon, s Kwon Barkley, Devin Singletary, ra

421
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: mondre Stevenson have all failed to top seventy eight yards

422
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: and that brings us to Creem Hunt, who goes on

423
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: the bench. It's been a disappointing season for Hunt. I

424
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: had expected that he would be better here. He hasn't

425
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: topped fifty eight rushing yards all year. He hasn't topped

426
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: twenty four receiving yards all year, and the worst party

427
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: is running it four point two yards per carry behind

428
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the same offensive line that is powering Nick Chubb to

429
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. Let me heed the guy who

430
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: asked for a trade in the trade and they should

431
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: have done it. He's he's just like slowing down just

432
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: to spite them. Kareem Hunt is touchdown dependent at this

433
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: point for fantasy owners and the Ravens improved defense. There's

434
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: only a lot of one running back score since Week three,

435
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: so Kareem Hunt is on the bench. Let's go to

436
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: the passing game here. My highest graded receiver for Cleveland

437
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: is their tight end David and Joe Coku. He's got

438
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: fifty five or more receiving yards and each of the

439
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: last four games he's running routes on eight of Cleveland's

440
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: passing plays. That is what Travis Kelsey runs. To give

441
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: you a sense of how often that is. Baltimore has

442
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: allowed touchdowns too tight ends and back to back games.

443
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: B grade on even and Joeku. C grade on Amari Cooper.

444
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: He's been a boomer bust player all year long, career

445
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: long right about that. Actually, I lean on the bus

446
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: side and that's why only the C grade here. Baltimore

447
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: secondary has improved a lot since a horrible start of

448
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: the season when everybody was hurt. Over the past three weeks,

449
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore ranks ninth best and yards allowed wide receivers. They've

450
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: stymied stuff on Diggs in Jamaar. Chase Cooper lines up

451
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: primarily on the right side of the field. He'll face

452
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: veteran cornerback Marcus Peters, who gives up forty seven yards

453
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: per game and has not given up a score since

454
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Week one. So just the C grade on a Marii Cooper.

455
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Baltimore side. Mark Andrews is

456
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: a big question Mark did not practice Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday,

457
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: came in with a limb it did practice on Friday,

458
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: and told reporters he feels good. That doesn't necessarily mean anything.

459
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: You want to watch this closely. If he plays, you

460
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: have to start him because he's Mark Andrews. If he

461
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: does not play, your pivot could very well be to

462
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: his backup rookie Isaiah Likely, who are very excited about

463
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: based on some of the dazzling preseason where that we

464
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: saw from Isaiah Likely. So you could pick up Likely now,

465
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: wait till Sunday morning, and then make the change if

466
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: you need to. If Andrews is in fact held out

467
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: of this game, the rest of the passing game is

468
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: a little more mundane here. For Lamar Jackson, We're gonna

469
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: watch his hip injury, which could limit his mobility. He

470
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: will play in this game. Jackson throwing exactly one touchdown

471
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: in three straight games. But he gets Rashad Bateman back

472
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: hopefully that helps. He's topped the meager milestone of just

473
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: two eighteen yards one time all year. That's it for

474
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I mean, all the people that get worried

475
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson's passing. It's kind of unfolding that way

476
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: right now. Again, this is not uncommon for him. Cleveland's

477
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: played the softest set of opposing quarterbacks I think in

478
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: the league. Although you made a very good case for

479
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: um who's facing Cincinnati? Was it Cincinnati? I think that

480
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: has played the softest that it might be Cincinnati. Yet

481
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: they still right the middle of the pack in most

482
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: defensive metrics, including twenty and past coverage by Pro Football

483
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Focus B grade on Lamar Jackson, Hopefully he'll be able

484
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: to run you two a little bit more than the

485
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: arm is provided. I mentioned Rochad Baten's back last year

486
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: is only one yard game as a rookie came against

487
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: these same Cleveland Browns, and as I mentioned before, the

488
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: ground Browns have played a very soft set of opponents.

489
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: But there's still bottom ten in past defense by yards

490
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: and Pro Football Focus grade. We're gonna monitor the concussion

491
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: status of Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward when he's out. That

492
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: is a sizeable loss there, and Bateman should face a

493
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: combination of Greedy Williams who allowed to score and backup

494
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: duty last week, and rookie Martin Emerson, who gave up

495
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: eighty one yards last week, so some good opportunities for

496
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: Bateman and a B grade on him. And as I

497
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: mentioned last earlier in this segment, Kenyan Drake might take

498
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: a chance on me running back, Scott, can you work

499
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: in Lions Cowboys in three minutes or less? Let's try it. Okay,

500
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: turbo time. I don't know if it's turbot time, but

501
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: let's start on the passing game on the Lions side.

502
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff I have on the bench. He's had a

503
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: couple of really good games early in the season, but

504
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: this is not a plus matchup. Those were really good matchups.

505
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: For five of the six quarterbacks to face the Cowboys

506
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: were held under ten yards passing. Only one quarterback had

507
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: multipule touchdowns and that was Jalen Hurts, which you probably

508
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: expected from him. Uh Alman Ross Brown, I have a

509
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: B grade. You could talk me into an A grade.

510
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: But this past defense for the Cowboys have only allowed

511
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: four wide receiver scores um and those were but those

512
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: were in the last two weeks. They did say this

513
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: week they're gonna get all the targets he can handle,

514
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: which really, really it sounds tantalizing. And you know what

515
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: when they say that they can do it because they've

516
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: they have target He was averaging eight catches for eighty

517
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: five yards and to score pre injury. You know what

518
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna give him an an

519
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: A honest a minus. That's that's the grade here, t J. Hockenson,

520
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm giving How did you get that by? I don't know,

521
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson. I've given a C grade to I

522
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: will say, the best tight end game that the Cowboys

523
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: have allowed his forty six yards and they haven't allowed

524
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: a tight end touchdown. But Craig Reynolds is probably not

525
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna go. DJ Tark is probably not gonna go. Yeah,

526
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: DJ Chark is not good. They basically are not going

527
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: to have anyone but Sat Brown and Hockinson in that

528
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: receiving game. So I've bumped him up to a C

529
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: grade even though even though it's a really terrible matchup.

530
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: He's only had one good game this season. But they're

531
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna probably need him here. Uh. In the running game,

532
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, I have a B grade on It seems

533
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: like he's gonna go at this point. How is he

534
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: still not healthy? I know, I know it's rough. He's

535
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: been limited, but he wants to play. He's pushing to play.

536
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Gotta be and they need wins. They need wins if

537
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: they like, they really want to win. So B grade

538
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: on Swift c great on Williams, who gets all the

539
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: goal line work. It should be noted DeAndre Swift was

540
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: averaging eight point six yards per carry pre injury. I

541
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: don't know if he I don't think he can do that.

542
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: That's not sustainable. But this is a dallastye that has

543
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: only allowed a few respectable games to running backs, and

544
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: it took fifteen plus touches to get there. But the

545
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: blueprint is a guy like say Kwon Barkley, who had

546
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, about a dozen carries for eight plus yards

547
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: and then four forty five on the ground in the air.

548
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: That's what Swift can get you. On the other side,

549
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: I have a bree B grade on Dak Prescott. The

550
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: lines of allowed three hundred plus total yards and or

551
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: multiple scores to everyone whose last name is not Zappy,

552
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: mostly due to the high score and shootouts that they

553
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: get in. I can kind of expect that here as

554
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: the second highest game total on the week. So I

555
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: have a B grade on Prescott in his return I

556
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: have a B grade on Ceedee Lamb. He's likely gonna

557
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: get the Occuda treatment. But DK meck the first three

558
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: weeks that was great. DK metcalf blew up against him

559
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: and said he's getting help over the top. Last Jacobe

560
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: Myers didn't care about it and he went off for

561
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: for over a hundred yards on the score and he

562
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: got PF graded Okuda as his worst grade in his career.

563
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: Let's last week. Yeah, well it's it's only been about

564
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: a dozen games total. Michael Gallup I got a C

565
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: grade on he gets a good matchup here in what

566
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: might be a high scoring game. His best game so

567
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: far is four, but the secondary options are averaging fifteen

568
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards and four to five catches. I think

569
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: that's fair for Gallup here. Tony Pollard was my take

570
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: a chance on me player. Oh I forgot Dalton Schultz,

571
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: who's coming back. He practice in full all week. He

572
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: was a huge target getter last year. In Week one

573
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: with Dak he had nine targets seven for sixty two.

574
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: That's B level stuff, if not a if he can

575
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: get in the end zone. Uh. Zekiel Elliott A grade

576
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: this week he gets Detroit Lions team. I didn't think

577
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: it would happen this year. A Detroit Lions team allowing

578
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: almost five point five yards per second, most rushing yards

579
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: per game, most rushing touchdowns per game. I mentioned in

580
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: to take a chance on me segment. Dallas is seven

581
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: point favorites. They're likely going to run the ball a

582
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: lot late in the game, and he gets all the

583
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: goal line work, almost everything inside the five. So I

584
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: expect to score. If not too, I agree, well, dust

585
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: them off, Dust them off. You said a lot of

586
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: mean things about Zeke. This is this chance to prove

587
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: us wrong, the very favorable matchup when we come back

588
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: cold steak on the Titans. Jonathan Taylor expected to be

589
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: back for this game. Obviously you're gonna start him, but

590
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: what do you expect to get? Find out? When we

591
00:30:34,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: returned Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul

592
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: Church and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you. If

593
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: you have not yet tried a Guillotine league, you can

594
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: still join one even now season long play can be

595
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: joined midway through the season. League size is now twelve

596
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: teams and is always the lowest scoring team gets chopped.

597
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: All those players go to the waiver wire where it's

598
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: pandemonium for the rest of us. All you have to

599
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: do is not finished last to play in a Guillotine league.

600
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: And if you never finished last, you won the whole league.

601
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: That's it. That's I have never finished last. Building superstar rosters.

602
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: As the season progresses, we encourage you to check that

603
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: out Guillotine Leagues dot com. Matt Colts and Titans already

604
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: played each other once before. What do you think we're

605
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna get out of Jonathan Taylor on the Colt side, Man,

606
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: his languishing owners could really use a signature game here,

607
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: they could, right. Uh, he's not on the injury report.

608
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Nihim Hinz still is, but was listed as a full

609
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: participant in practice on Thursday. Oh, by the way, Dion

610
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Jackson has a bit of a quad injury, so he

611
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: popped up on the injury reports. So what do you do?

612
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you start Taylor with a B grade and

613
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: you bench the rest Why a B grade? The Titans

614
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: are allowing the third fewest combo yards per game to

615
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: the running back position, and only one at only one

616
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: fourteen on average, and they've allowed only one total touchdown

617
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: to a running back ball season. Matt Ryan was charges

618
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: take a chance on me pass her and I gave

619
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: him an A grade before you even throw that in there,

620
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: the second in the league in passing, behind only Josh Allen.

621
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman also gets an A grade. Alec Pierce gets

622
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: a B grade in this one. Look what Alec Pierce

623
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: is turning into. He's good right now. The Titans are

624
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: allowing two D seven wide receiver yards per game and

625
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: I've already given up eight touchdowns to the position through

626
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: five games. This might be the last chance before this

627
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: Sunday to acquire some Colts wide receivers on the cheap.

628
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: The schedules absolutely cake coming up getting Matt Ryan, Alec Pierce,

629
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, I think this is the time you want

630
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: to do it. Um. If you listen to the show

631
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, we mentioned Alec Pierce with I have

632
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: a feeling that you're going to mention one of the

633
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: tight ends for the Colts and premature speculation. I might

634
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: disagree with you on this. I think that I think

635
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: the tight end position is an absolute mess there and

636
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: you should completely stay away from it. Last week, Moli Cox,

637
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Kylan Grandson, and Gilanni Woods had thirty one and thirty

638
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: one snaps. It's almost like it's third grade football, and

639
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: Frank Reich is doing equal playing time for everybody and

640
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: a juice box when they come off the field. There's

641
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: only two instances this year where a Colts tight end

642
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: has had more than four targets per game. I just won't.

643
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: I won't play any Colts. That's my deal. On the

644
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee side, Derrick Henry is an a grade back to

645
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: one hundred yard outings. Prior to the Week six by

646
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: he scored in four straight and over his last five

647
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: games against the Colts, he's averaging one two rushing yards. Uh.

648
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Some will be forced to start Ryan Tannehill in this

649
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: bye week bonanza. It's okay, you can do that. I'll

650
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: give him a sea here. He managed three touchdown passes

651
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: and both starts against the Colts last year. The Colts

652
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: have allowed about two hundred twenty yards per game through

653
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: the air and one point three passing scores. That's about

654
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: in line with what Tannehill averages. But the angle would

655
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: be the rushing scores is the Colts allowed two rushing

656
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: scores last week to Trevor Lawrence and Tannehill is one

657
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: to keep the ball and run in for a score.

658
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is the only Titans receiver you could consider starting,

659
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: and he gets just a C grade here. He's the

660
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: only Titans wide receiver to score this year. He's the

661
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: only one who's top seventy yards this year, and he's

662
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: topped seventy yards or scored in three straight games. So

663
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: there's that Robert Woods. Only guy. I'm I'd hoped for

664
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: a little more out of Robert Woods so far. Yeah,

665
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: it's been pedestrian to this stage of the season. Packers

666
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: take on the Commanders. Packers doesn't get well. Spot for

667
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: this Packers offense. If they can't do it here, it's

668
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: major panic time. Let's start with Aaron Rodgers, who has

669
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: throwing little shoten freud to hear from the Minnesota booth. No, no,

670
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: we want, we want good things for Aaron Rodgers and

671
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: his owners will Well, let's talk it through. He's throwing

672
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: exactly two touchdowns in four of the past five games.

673
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Um hasn't been blank since the opener,

674
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: and Washington is allowed the second most passing touchdowns. Touchdowns

675
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: are coming in this game. Rogers offensive line, by the way,

676
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: really oddly shaky so far, the Commanders still have some

677
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: talent upfront to pressure opposing quarterbacks. Washington ranks ninth in

678
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: pass rush by Pro Football Focus. So I don't think

679
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an easy game for Aaron Rodgers, but

680
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: I do expect at least the two touchdowns he's been scoring,

681
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: and that brings us to his receivers. Alan Lazard gets

682
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: an A grade in this game. The Washing defense allowing

683
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: the third most touchdowns per game to opposing whiteouts and

684
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: also giving up the highest average depth of target almost

685
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: ten yards her target, and the seventh most air yards

686
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: per game, the six most yards per game to opposing receivers.

687
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: All of these trends very favorable to Alan Lazard. He'll

688
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of the outside cornerbacks. That's Kendall Fuller

689
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: and Ben st Juice. Fuller is allowed the second most

690
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: receiving yards in the league. St Juice is moving from

691
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: his normal position in the slot to the outside. Both

692
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: are favorable for Alan Lazard. How about Romeo Dubbs his

693
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: most favorable matchup as an entire career. Already told you

694
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: about Kendall Fuller Ben st Juice. He gets all those

695
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: same matchups on the outside here. No Christian Watson who's

696
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: out this week. He's gonna get a lot of snaps.

697
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: He's blossoming into an every down player and he's coming

698
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: off career highs and targets and routes run Romeo Dubbs.

699
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: Dobbs sitting on nine nine potential. Yeah not, let's call

700
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: it nine catches in this game, nine time. And lastly,

701
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: from the receiving game, Robert Tounnan C grade a season

702
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: high in targets, receptions, and yards last week against the Jets.

703
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: Randall Cobbs out, so I think he gets a few

704
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: more looks across the middle of the field. But I'll

705
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: mention the Commanders have been very good against the tight

706
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: end position, and I'm only giving him a C grade

707
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: because of the bye week. And lastly, this Aaron Jones

708
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon. Things got to end. Jones is averaging

709
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: six yards per carry and A J. Dillon getting four

710
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: yards per carry, leads the team and rushes. It's a

711
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: disgrace for an offense that has been struggling. They've got

712
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: to give their best player the ball and that's Aaron Jones.

713
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully correction coming here. The Commanders started the years of

714
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: dominant run defense, but the past two weeks they've surrendered

715
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: one d twenty two rushing yards and a touchdown per

716
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs. For A j. Dillon out

717
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: by the way, B grade on Aaron Jones, hopefully in

718
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: a grade if they get this thing started out for

719
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: Dylan hasn't scored since Week one. He's averaging two yards

720
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: per carry, fewer than Aaron Jones has already mentioned. And

721
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, the Commanders have surrendered at

722
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: least sixty seven rushing yards of three different running backs.

723
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Dylan gets in that range, but that's it. And

724
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. It's killing me. Dylan's gotten all

725
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: the carries inside the five. Why because he's big. That's it,

726
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: all right. Last thing, Washington on the Washington side, just

727
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: a couple of guys to talk about. And I've only

728
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: got two c grades here. Brian Robinson seven h seven

729
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: running backs of top seventy total yards against Green Bay

730
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: as they allow the fourth most rushing yards on five

731
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry. What's more, in the past

732
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: three weeks, they've given up four rushing touchdowns and they've

733
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: seen the six most carries over that time. Frame. Robinson's

734
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: getting has gotten every carry inside the five since he's

735
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: been active, and I like him to score a touchdown

736
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: in this game. And that's why I've got a C

737
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: grade on Brian Robinson. The only other player you can

738
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: potentially start is Terry McLaurin. Terry mcclauren with Taylor Heineke

739
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: under center, McLaurin posted one of his best games of

740
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: his season against the Packers last year. He went to

741
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: seven for twelve with a d twenty two yards and

742
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown in this meeting last year. Heineke's arm is

743
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: considerably weaker than wentz is, which will limit mclaurin's downfield

744
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: abilities here, but hopefully he can get a little something

745
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: done with some short receiving work. And I don't know

746
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: it's he could see him cobbling together like six catches

747
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: for fifty sixty yards. Terry the Cobbler. Cobbler, I think

748
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: cobblers traditionally our shoemakers, right, yes, correct, I think that

749
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: makes sense. Everybody else is on the bench for reasons.

750
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't even think we need to get into with Gibson, mckissic, Dotson,

751
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas has been ruled out I'll mention this about

752
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: Gibson declining snap counts every week of the season, down

753
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: to fifteen snaps last week, so he's dead to us.

754
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: All right, Now, you gotta figure out if you can

755
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: do Giants and Jags in three minutes, and this time

756
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: you have no wiggle room? Is that a yes or no? Yes?

757
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: But it also looks like we have about five minutes

758
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: I think so, all right, Yeah, I got a little

759
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: time er here alright. Anyway, Daniel Jones, I barely have

760
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: a C grade on, probably because Hurts and Cousins and

761
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: Allen and Stafford are on by, and he's getting six

762
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: rush attempts per game, and the Jags are a team

763
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: who forced pressure on the quarterback nearly a third of

764
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: the time. He might have to on a on a

765
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: third of dropbacks, so he might have to run a

766
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: few more times here. Uh. It was a good defense,

767
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: top ten defense up until last week, where when he

768
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: got towards the Jags got torched by Matt Ryan. So

769
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: I think there might be two hundred plus yards and

770
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: maybe some rushing to get you to a C grade

771
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: out of Daniel Jones. However, his wide receivers are all

772
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: either injured or super ineffective. So they're all on the bench.

773
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: In the last three games, only one wide receiver his

774
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: top three catches. That was Slayton and it was book

775
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: ended on either side by a one catch game, so

776
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: there's no trust there. Daniel Bellinger was might take a

777
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: chance on me player. Uh, guy keep mentioning him. Uh,

778
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley, Art Vark. I'm giving him the art

779
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Vark here fantasy. Ardvark, I thought was my thing. Dion

780
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: Jackson last week, Deon Jackson against this Jags defense caught

781
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: ten passes on his way to a twenty eight point

782
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: PPR day. Incomes si Quon Barkley, averaging over twenty three

783
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: touches per game with fewer competitions for targets than Dion

784
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: Jackson had last week. Ard Vark for se kwon Bark

785
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: Matt and I think you can then take Brian's fantasy.

786
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: Can this because because Brian got mad when I used

787
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: the Fonzie one. He's not here. We're we're in open show.

788
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: We like to swap a little alright, alright, Uh, Trevor

789
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: Lawrence is on the bench. He's averaging about two thirty

790
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: two yards and just over just under a two scores

791
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: per game, but the Giants have allowed the fourth fewest

792
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: passing yards, fourth fewest completions, only seven passing touchdowns in

793
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: six games. Is just isn't a good spot for him

794
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: or most of his passing game. I have a grade

795
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: of C on Christian Kirk. The first three first four

796
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: weeks were really hot. Six plus catches, six sixty plus

797
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: yards in every game, including three scores. Last three not

798
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: so much, but one was game script. One was kind

799
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: of a hurricane. Um, the wide receiver one is averaging

800
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: five for sixty nine against the against the Giants, so

801
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: I think he gets that here, Um Marvin Jones, A

802
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: Jones and apparently a guy named Tim Jones who is

803
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: a wide receiver for the Jacks who scored three Jones

804
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: is they're all on the bench, They've all been pretty effective. Yeah,

805
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: fin google Tim Jones. I'm sure he'll pop right up.

806
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will only be one of them too.

807
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure yea Evan Ingram in the revenge game against

808
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: the Giants. I gotta be grade. The Giants have not

809
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: been tested except for him against Mark Andrews, but this

810
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: year tight ends so bad. Nobody's been tested, really if

811
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: you think about it, Giants are seeding five and five

812
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: point eight catches two tight ends weekly. Evan Ingram has

813
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: thirty two of the jacks forty targets. He gets everything

814
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: for the tight end work, so I have a B

815
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: grade on him. In the running game, Travis C t N,

816
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: I got a B grade on James Robinson, I have

817
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: a C grade on I'm kind of iffy on that,

818
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: but it's a it's a good It's as good as

819
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: the Giants past. He is. The have been allowing five

820
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: point four eight yards per carry ten point eight yards

821
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: per reception to backs where E t n makes them work.

822
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: He gets a few catches a game. Uh et N

823
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: has seen increased snaps and touches over Robinson for four

824
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: straight weeks. He's going to get the be over the

825
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: C grade for Robinson here. Yeah, totally. Robinson's fading unfortunate. Yeah,

826
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: it's even that I gave some thoughts to Snoop Connor

827
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: as a pick up in deep leagues in case this

828
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Robinson thing goes totally off the rails, and because he

829
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: has not looked good and they may have to find

830
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: somebody else. The secondary back against the Giants has been

831
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: getting like sixty nine yards seventy five like they're having

832
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: legit games. That's the only reason I game the scene nice.

833
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: When we come back, three Tough Questions play along with

Speaker 1: assistant coach in my teammate state s T M A Nights.

848
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: Congrats boys this edition of Three Tough Questions. It's quarterback themed.

849
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: It is a massively down year for the position. Let's

850
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: talk through some of the trickiest quarterbacks in the league,

851
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: Tough Chusan number one. Well. Dak Prescott finished the year

852
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: as a top five, top ten, top fifteen or worse

853
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback. Scott, I'm going to top fifteen. I think

854
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: the top five or so will be very difficult to

855
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: crack with Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Jalen hurds

856
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: uh Patrick Mahomes, those types that are probably gonna, you know,

857
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: stay in that range for the rest of the year.

858
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was a top three quarterback for a few

859
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: years when he was running six touchdowns a year in.

860
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: He was QP seven last year, but he doesn't get

861
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: those rushing yards rushing as much anymore. UM. I just

862
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: feel with the tenth toughest schedule left for the Dallas Cowboys,

863
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: I feel like top ten or top five is gonna

864
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: be really tough. He might get to top ten, but

865
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: it's I'm putting fifteen, Okay, Matt rest of season will

866
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott finished the year is the top five, top ten,

867
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: top fifteen, or worse fantasy quarterback. Last year, Doc average

868
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: seventy eight passing yards and two point three passing scores

869
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: per game the year before three seventy one and one

870
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: point eight in nineteen three oh six and one point eight.

871
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 1: If he just maintains those passing stats and we don't

872
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: include the running at all right now, on a points

873
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: per game basis, he's quarterback number five, ahead of Joe Burrow.

874
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: So it was a six to eight week thumb injury,

875
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: sat for six weeks. It's not an injury that's likely

876
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: to recur. I will say missing Amari Cooper might hurt

877
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: him a bit enough to knock some rustoff. But he's

878
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: still top ten fantasy quarterback. Yeah. I couldn't quite get

879
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: to ten. I was counting up the guys that the quarterbacks.

880
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: You think Carson Wentz will stay in the top ten

881
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: for sure, no doubt about it. Absolutely, there's I ended

882
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: up at eleven. There were eleven players I refused them

883
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: with the DOC like, okay, that puts doc at twelve.

884
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: The Dallas remaining strength of schedules exactly middle of the

885
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: pack per Rhoda wire Um, and I just a little

886
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: bit of worried. The hand injury on a quarterback is

887
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: like a leg injury on a running back and hand

888
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: and it's just throwing hand, and I'm like, yeah, jeez,

889
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: and we don't know what's kind of who needs thumb?

890
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: Super weird? Uh? Is Michael Gallup and Noah Brown? Are they?

891
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Can they power really power somebody to a top ten

892
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: passing off? All right? I couldn't quite do it correct

893
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: answer Top fifteen tough question number two? Will to A

894
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: tonguo Via Looa finished the year as a top five,

895
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen or worse fantasy quarterback? Matt I

896
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: think the thing we got to think about first is

897
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: can we guarantee that Toa does not get another concussion

898
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: this year? That's what it boils down to. Concussions are

899
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: likely to recur and with increased severity. And to A

900
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: had exactly one good game this year. The four hundred

901
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards and six touchdowns against Baltimore was an

902
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: awesome game. But didn't Mike White do the same thing

903
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: last year? Outside of that, He's only topped two hundred

904
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: seventy yards once in his last twelve games. To me,

905
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: the most likely outcome is that to Have finishes somewhere

906
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: in the late teens or early twenties. So I think

907
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: he's worse than the top fifteen Scott is to Tongo Violoa.

908
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: Going to finish the year from this point forward, Top five,

909
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: Top ten, top fifteen, or worst fantasy quarterback. I do

910
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: feel like going out of that Buffalo game and coming

911
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: back in having a hundred eighties six yards on eighteen attempts,

912
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. You know, who knows who knows what

913
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: it could have possibly been. Um. I had a buddy

914
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: say that on a podcast earlier this week, and I'm like, man,

915
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: that is a really good point I have In this

916
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: top ten I mentioned the guy top five six seven,

917
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: I just I just don't see many people getting past.

918
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: But Miami is second in the NFL in passing yards

919
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: this year. If you combine all of the guys, you know,

920
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: so if they keep up that and two is the

921
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: main benefit, the main thrower of that for the rest

922
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: of the season. Um, well over, I think six to

923
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: ten range is pretty pretty possible. They do have a

924
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: fairly I have them ranked as the fifth toughest remaining schedule.

925
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: I didn't use the wire, so I don't know what

926
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: yours says, but it's the tougher schedule. But I think

927
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: given what he's shown, his ceiling could be and the

928
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: weapons he has. We're looking at what the Miami team

929
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: as a whole has done. I have him just just

930
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: cracking the top ten even without two up. So in

931
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: the games two has missed. This Miami offense was so

932
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: potent with backups. They've had passing game and a four

933
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: hundred yard passed that second BAP team And you know,

934
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: Matt gave you some stats. Go on the way back

935
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: to last year. The difference is Mike mc daniels legit

936
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: this and this offense has got Tyreek killed. This is

937
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: a totally different offense. Miami is throwing at the fourth

938
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: highest rate and that volume is indispensable for fantasy use.

939
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: And the Miami defense is pretty bad. There's gonna be

940
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: a lot of shootouts. Game script is gonna be favoring

941
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: the passing game. And okay, he can't too, can't break

942
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: into the territory of Hurts and Alan and Jackson in

943
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: those duel rushing passing threats. But his upside with the

944
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: combination volume plus Hill and Waddle is comfortably inside the

945
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: top ten. Tough question number three, it's Matthew Stafford's by.

946
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: You've got Matthew Stafford on your team, you need you

947
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: need to pick somebody else up. You're just dropping Stafford

948
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: to make that pick up Scott. I already did it

949
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: in the league. We're in together charge and nobody's picked

950
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: him up. Right. Uh yeah, I'm absolutely doing it. He

951
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: has it by this week, then he has uh San

952
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: Francisco that he's got Tampa Bay Um. His playoff schedule

953
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: is the number one most difficult playoff schedule at the

954
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: as currently stands versus the week's fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen

955
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: against number one and number two, So I don't see

956
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: any point to have him. I actually think I'll take

957
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: a chance on the quarterbacks, not necessarily this week, but

958
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: if you add them together each week, they're outperforming Stafford.

959
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: So far on the year, he's droppable. Okay, uh Man,

960
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: Is Matthew Stafford drop drop a bull for whoever you

961
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: need to pick up and start this week and a

962
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: super flex or two quarterback league, the answer is no.

963
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: But in a single quarterback league, I think you can.

964
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: He's currently the twenty seven ranked quarterback and Fantasy points

965
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: per game. That's behind Daniel Jones, Jacobi Bursette, Russell Wilson,

966
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Mac Jones, Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton, Jamis Winston,

967
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, and those guys are all on the waiver

968
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: wire right right, so uh in single quarterback leagues, almost

969
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: all those players they're pick up a bull. And Stafford

970
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: has eight interceptions to six touchdown passes, so he probably

971
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: should be too. The offensive line is a massive problem,

972
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: and the loss of their left tackle Joe note Boom

973
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: is a lethal blow. That line is not going to

974
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: get much better over the course of the season. Right now,

975
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: the Rams have one starter on their offensive line healthy

976
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: at this moment, getting no help from the running game,

977
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: and no wide receiver two has emerged at all for

978
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: the Rams. It's not really Stafford's fault. This is a

979
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: case of everything around him has become a disaster scenario.

980
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: And you can find to the point you both made,

981
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: you can find somebody else who's gonna give you whatever,

982
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's gonna give you the rest of the way.

983
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: Everything went right last year, everything went wrong this year.

984
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: Falcons taking on the Bengals, matt and you already told

985
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: us that there's at least one Falcon player that you

986
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: like a lot. Talk to me about the rest of

987
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: the Yeah, that was Marcus Mariotta, who's might take a

988
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: chance on me quarterback? Got a couple starting grades. Drake

989
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: London just a C grade though. It seems like Colin

990
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: mccockney should really do the Drake London matchups. Maybe we

991
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: could see if he's available again sometime soon. Uh. Since

992
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: Week two he had twelve We're sorry. In Week two

993
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: he had twelve targets, eight catches, eighty six yards in

994
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Then defenses started keying off on London. In

995
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: the four games since then, he's averaging six targets, three catches,

996
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: thirty six and a half yards per game and only

997
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: has one touchdown in four games. And he faces a

998
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: very competent Bengals secondary this year. I'm not sure I

999
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: like his chances all that much. So just to see.

1000
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts was on everyone's bench last week and he

1001
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: finally scored his first NFL touchdown in America on American soil.

1002
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: He was mostly on everybody's bench. Yeah, first t d

1003
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: in the United States of America in the NFL for

1004
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts last week. Uh, his second touchdown in twenty

1005
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: two career games. So you know what's gonna happen? Everybody

1006
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: who drafted Pits finally benched him last week, and now

1007
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: all those people are gonna put Pitts back in the

1008
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: starting lineup and he won't score for the rest of

1009
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: the year. For sure, he's done. You heard me highlight

1010
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst and might take a chance on me matchup.

1011
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: I have him graded higher than Pitts. Who gets to

1012
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: see here? Um, let's go on to the Falcons running game,

1013
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: where it's split pretty evenly between Caleb Huntley and Tyler

1014
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: l Geer, who had sixteen and fifteen carries last week.

1015
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: They finished with fifty nine and fifty one scoreless yards.

1016
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter which one had. What this is.

1017
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: If this was one running back, he's startable. Since it's

1018
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: two there on the bench, Scott, Is Tyler l Gere

1019
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: starting himself this week? I think not. Boy, don't wait

1020
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: for an answer, just keep going and all answer. Over

1021
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: on the angles side, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, te Higgins

1022
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: all easy A grades. Higgins was healthy enough to garner

1023
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: ten targets last week, so I have no fear there.

1024
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Chase was limited this week with a hip injury, but

1025
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: that might be more general soreness than anything. The Falcons

1026
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: have allowed the most passing yards in the league at

1027
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: two per game, and the most receptions to wide receivers

1028
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: at fifteen per contest. They just placed starting corner Casey

1029
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: Hayward on I R for that reason. Tyler Boyd is

1030
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: getting a starting grade two, but it's only a Sea

1031
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: Boy runs from the slot where he'll face the toughest

1032
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: corner Atlanta has in Isaiah Oliver, but that's not saying much.

1033
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, he gets a B grade and was might

1034
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: take a chance on me tight end. And then Joe

1035
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: Mixon he's the last guy here. He gets a B grade.

1036
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: The numbers haven't been eye popping for mixing this season.

1037
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: He's been kind of league average, but he's still seeing

1038
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: about twenty two opportunities per game, So uh, that's pretty good.

1039
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Leonard four Nett each went over a

1040
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty total yards and scored against the Falcons

1041
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks. So I feel like this

1042
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: would be an a if Mixon just looked better, but

1043
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: he just hasn't looked good recently. Yeah, just not passing

1044
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: the eye test. You don't see the usual, um, I

1045
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: don't know, expressiveness Yeah, do you feel like this this

1046
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: is this is the time maybe in dynasty to sell

1047
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. Yeah, could be the beginning of I like

1048
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: that call. By the way, Tyler Elder is starting himself,

1049
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: but it's over Antonio Gibson. I think that does problem.

1050
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: How about Antonio Gibson? Is he starting himself? Have any

1051
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: way to know that? We don't? Unfortunately, all right, when

1052
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: we come back, Chiefs taking on the forty niners. Christian McCaffrey,

1053
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? Do you put him

1054
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 1: in the lineup if he's active? What can you expect

1055
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: from Christian McCaffrey when you go If he's let's find

1056
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: out if he's playing himself. He landed in San Francisco

1057
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: on Fridays, two days enough time to am in some

1058
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: some plays. We'll see. We'll talk about Christian McCaffrey when

1059
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

1060
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Churchy and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison

1061
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: with you back to some matchups. Chiefs take on the

1062
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: forty nine. This is It was already a fascinating game,

1063
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: and now it's become even more so with the addition

1064
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: of Christian McCaffrey. We'll talk about him in just a minute,

1065
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: but let's start on the chief side, which you really

1066
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: want to to watch is the defense. Cornerback Emmanuel Molesley

1067
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: just one on injured reserve chart, Various Ward, cornerback left

1068
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: last week's game of the groin injury. Safety Jimmy Ward

1069
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: just had hand surgery. Meanwhile, the defensive line is dealing

1070
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: with injuries to Javon Kinlaw, Eric Armstead, and Nick Posa.

1071
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: That's half the defense. It is there in a tough

1072
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: spot for San Francisco. You'll want to track the status

1073
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: of those guys to get a sense of whether or

1074
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: not the players you might not otherwise play are playable

1075
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: this week. Obviously, Mahomes and Kelsey are automatic starts that

1076
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: goes without saying their automatic eight grades almost every week,

1077
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: including this one. This would have been a different story,

1078
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: potentially if those guys are all healthy, because the defense

1079
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: was awesome before they all got hurt. But the fringe guys,

1080
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about Juju Smith. Schuster finally paid off his

1081
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: loyalists last week. This was the last time I've given

1082
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: him a starting grade and it finally paid off. He listens, Yes,

1083
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: he does listen, and I motivated him. Injuries in the

1084
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: nine Ers secondary should be able to help his cause here.

1085
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: Second year slat cornerback Domadore Lenore. No, No, that's a

1086
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: made up name. I think so. I was a catch

1087
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: rate and a passer rating of over one over his

1088
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: last three games, and in those three games, the leading

1089
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: receiver against the Niners have all been slot receivers. That's

1090
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: Judo Smith Schuster. I used to play asteroids on a

1091
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: Domadore Lenoris, remember those absolutely three bit Domadore Lemore uh

1092
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: C grade jud Smith Schuster. Clyde Edwards a layer uh.

1093
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: The last two weeks exemplify the downside in Clyde Edwards

1094
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: a layer. Nine carries in both games, fifteen rushing yards,

1095
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: thirty five rushing yards, and he doesn't chip in much

1096
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: through the air, just two and a half receptions twenty

1097
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: three yards per game over the season. That's itt Ers

1098
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: allowing the third fewest total yards per game to opposing

1099
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: running backs and the second lowest yards per carry. If

1100
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: most of those guys are out in a bye week,

1101
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Clyde Edwards lacy. If most of those

1102
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: injured players are back, then on the Niners defense, and

1103
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: I you just you can't start them. Unfortunately, Sell I

1104
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: would say this for two weeks, sell high on. This

1105
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: is the third straight sell hi on Clyde Edwards everyway,

1106
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: it's only going the wrong direction. Get out while you can.

1107
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the San Francisco side. I'm

1108
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna start with Deebo. Samuel has an obvious A grade.

1109
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: But then let's go to Brandon Ayuk. I'm not just

1110
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: chasing last week's box score. This is another strong opportunity

1111
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: for Ayouk. Kansas City allowing the fifth most receptions, the

1112
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: seventh most yards, and the most touchdowns per game to

1113
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: opposing receivers. The Chiefs allow the second most yards after

1114
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: the catch, and they've missed the fourth most tackles per game.

1115
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: So you put all that together with Ayu's playmaking abilities

1116
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: and he could have another big game, just like last week.

1117
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Aiyuk be grade George Kittle was not a coincidence

1118
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: that we finally got the big game from George Kittle

1119
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: last week with his team trailing throughout the game against

1120
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Forty Niners probably trailing throughout

1121
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: much of this game. So I like the game script

1122
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: for Kittle in this one repeat coming the the opposing

1123
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: tight ends averaging five catches nearly fifty yards per game

1124
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. They've also allowed the third most touchdowns

1125
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to the position. So a B grade for George Kittle.

1126
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: And if I like Deebo Samuel with an A, and

1127
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: I like A with a B and Kittle with a B,

1128
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: I gotta like Jimmy Garoppolo logs in with a B

1129
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: grade here. The Chiefs have allowed the most passing touchdowns,

1130
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: They've given up multiple scores in every game. And the

1131
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Chief's terrific run defense, so we'll talk about in a minute,

1132
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: is funneling opposition to the past. They're seeing the most

1133
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: pass attempts per game, forty one per game, and they're

1134
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: seeing the highest opponent passing play percentage. Sixty of plays

1135
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: run against the Chiefs are through the air. So Jimmy

1136
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Garoppolo shockingly safe pivot in this a tricky bye week

1137
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: B grade. Jimmy Garoppolo now the running backs for the

1138
01:00:55,040 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners, beginning with Jeff Wilson, who's now

1139
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: on the bench. I just mentioned teams don't run on

1140
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to begin with, and then when they do,

1141
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: they're getting smoked. A brutal matchup for Jeff Wilson. The

1142
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs have allowed the second fewest rushing yards per game

1143
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: and the second fewest rushing attempts and Chris Jones. Their

1144
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackle is profoo ball focuses top ranked interior defensive lineman.

1145
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Your only hope for Jeff Wilson is a kerry inside

1146
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: the three yard line and touchdown plunge. That is it,

1147
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: and that brings us to Christian McCaffrey roster, meaning he's

1148
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: three in your cart? Got it all right? So you

1149
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: can't run on on the Chiefs. They're great run defense.

1150
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Here's where Christian McCaffrey and I expect, by the way,

1151
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: eight to ten touches for Christian McCaffrey in you know,

1152
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: designed plays that they've set up for him that end

1153
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: up in resulting in the ball in his hand. Where

1154
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be held full is through the air.

1155
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: If you're in a PPR league C grade on Christian McCaffrey.

1156
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have surrendered over ten targets per game two

1157
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: running backs and that and they've given up the most

1158
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: receptions and the most receiving yards to running backs. Obviously,

1159
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey an elite pass catching running back. I think

1160
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: he clocks in here with a good five ish receptions

1161
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: and he could turn that into something special. Fifty yards

1162
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: and a receiving touch show. So we're gonna go c

1163
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: grade in the first game for Christian McAffrey. And plus,

1164
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: it's Christie McCaffrey. He's on your team. You can really

1165
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: get a bench Christian McCaffrey. He can't, can you? But

1166
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: I can't on tenne touches. I can't give him more

1167
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: than a secret. I am a little bit fearful that

1168
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: just in the short time frame window, every time McCaffrey's

1169
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: on the field, the defenses are just gonna go, oh,

1170
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna hand to him, or they're gonna pass to

1171
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: him this time. So we're just gonna double up McCaffrey

1172
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: every time he go teams thought that every time he

1173
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: touched the ball with CAROLINEX. You no other threats to me.

1174
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Now you have to defend Deebo, Samuel and Brandon I

1175
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: who can George Kittle. It's gonna open up things in

1176
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: a big way. Question McCaffrey. All right, let's go to

1177
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: our next matchup, which is not quite as exciting. What

1178
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: except for those of us who pray at the altar

1179
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: of Damien Piers, talk to me about Texans Raiders, Scott Well,

1180
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: I can start with Davis Wills, who was gonna take

1181
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a chance on me? Player? But we'll get to the

1182
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: passing game in just a minute, because I want to

1183
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: start with some Damian Pierce porn for charge. Oh God,

1184
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be good. Last week against the Jaguars,

1185
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce forced seven team miss tackles, according to p

1186
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: F p F that is the most miss tackles PF

1187
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: has credited a player in a single game, not this

1188
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: season ever, history of Pro Football focus more broken tackles

1189
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: in one game for Damian was like six or seven?

1190
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: He was there were that play was unbelievable. What what

1191
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: is that for yourself? Don't know? That sounded like paths

1192
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: flight off. It sounded like a lot of things. Um

1193
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: all that said, I actually only have a B grade

1194
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: here as this Raiders d lets it up in the

1195
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: air and not really on the ground. Of their running backs,

1196
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: it took Derrick Henry twenty five touches to be the

1197
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: only back to top seventy five combo yards against them.

1198
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: They're actually a pretty stout run their top five in

1199
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: rushing yards allowed, rushing touchdowns allowed, yards per carry it

1200
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: just three point nine per touch per carry. It's tough

1201
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: spot for Pierce, but he's a beast, lots of talent.

1202
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B grade on talented volume

1203
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I have C grades on both

1204
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Nico Collins and Brandon Cooks. Davis Mills obviously I like

1205
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: him this week, so I like his receivers. UH. Cooks

1206
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: has been banged up and and practice has been limited

1207
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: with achilles and sorry Collins banged up with limited practices,

1208
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: but then at the end of the week finally practicing

1209
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: in full and back off the UH the injury reports.

1210
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: I trust him, trust Cooks. UH. Cooks was good in

1211
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: the opener, UH but but there but hasn't been as

1212
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: good lately. UH. Nico cons has actually led the team

1213
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,959
Speaker 1: in targets and UH targets over the last three games.

1214
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Excuse me, sorry, UH Cook's has four plus catches in

1215
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: all but one game, fifty plus yards in three games.

1216
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Nico is averaging over sixty yards per game since that opener,

1217
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: So it's pretty much sea level floor turning into a

1218
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: contributor here. Yeah, yeah, sea level floors there. He's been

1219
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: more productive than than Brandon Cooks has since the opener. Uh.

1220
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything with the tight ends. I thought

1221
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: that it was a great spot for a possible tight end.

1222
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Then I realized that Travis Kelsey scored four touchdowns against

1223
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and and that's why they actually drop about

1224
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: a dozen spots in the rankings. When Uh, Derek Carr

1225
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: on the other side, I have a B grade on

1226
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: I actually started the week with an A grade on Car.

1227
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Then I moved him to a B grade learning that

1228
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Darren Waller was out. Now it looks like to renfro

1229
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: might not play as well. He might be a grade. Yeah,

1230
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: he might be a sea grade by the end of

1231
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: the end of me talking right here. Uh, Derek Carr

1232
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: has multiple scores in four the last five. The lone

1233
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: one he didn't was against the number two past defense

1234
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Uh. Texans aren't far off that ranking eleventh,

1235
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: having allowed it allowed only four passing touchdowns in the

1236
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: last five games. That's pretty good. Uh. Their rank is

1237
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: buoyed a bit by playing fields and Wilson, who are

1238
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: statistically two of the worst eying quarterbacks in the NFL.

1239
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: UH those two combined for three twenty five yards. The

1240
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: other three quarterbacks they faced averaged three twenty six yards.

1241
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr is closer to that. Plus it's

1242
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: an avenge game he's playing. The Texans game kind of

1243
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: ruined his brother there. They did ruin him. Remember the

1244
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: years he would he would absorb like seventy five sacks. Yes,

1245
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. I have a feeling Justin Field's son

1246
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: is going to have some games against the Bears. Listen,

1247
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: listen to Derek Carr stats again, avenging his brother two

1248
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: five yards and three scores, two yards and three scores,

1249
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: two and sixty three yards in one score. But he

1250
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: added fifty eight on the ground, So that helps you.

1251
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on Car four. Now, Davante

1252
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: Adams is an otto A. He's not an art vark

1253
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: because he might be the only guy out there and

1254
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: they might have four players covering him on any given play.

1255
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: It's a stingy Houston pasty that has allowed just one

1256
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown and UH only four wide receivers over

1257
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: forty yards. Those are like Mike Williams, Michael Pittman, Corland

1258
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Sun and guys who went for one. Davante Adams could

1259
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: have that in him. If Renfro goes, I still have

1260
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Number two wide receivers against the

1261
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Texans are only averaging two catches for thirty one yards.

1262
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: It sounds like he might rent for himself. Only has

1263
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: one game over twenty five yards, which I was surprised

1264
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: to find out this and it hasn't. This season has

1265
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: been deeply disappointing for Hunter. Renfro. Yeah, but if he

1266
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: doesn't go, Collins had an eight for one and a

1267
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 1: score game. Uh win. Renfro was out before. With Waller

1268
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: and renf Out, Hollins might see a bunch of targets.

1269
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that kind of game. He's also nearly

1270
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: nursing a heal injury. But I'll give Hollins a C

1271
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 1: grade if Renfro does not go. Otherwise he's on the bench.

1272
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs has gained an A grade and it's pure volume.

1273
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,799
Speaker 1: He's top five in almost every usage category, snaps touches

1274
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: inside the five, work red zone work. His early games

1275
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: were a lot of volume without much production. We kind

1276
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: of railed on that, but then it boomed, then it hit.

1277
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: He's top two hundred seventy five total yards and scored

1278
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: in each of the last two weeks. The lead back

1279
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: the last three weeks against this Texans team hundred fourteen yards,

1280
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: hundred nine yards in a score, hundred sixty seven yards

1281
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: and two scores. Texans allowing a hundred and seventy six

1282
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: combo yards two running backs per game. Jacobs gets everything.

1283
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: He gets twenty two plus touches a game. I have

1284
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 1: an A grade on Jacobs alright. Final matchup of this

1285
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: seg mad Seahawks taking on the Chargers. Seahawks didn't really

1286
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: perform in a pretty good opportunity last week, but this

1287
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Chargers defense has been bad. What do you What do

1288
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: you like about the Seahawks offense? Well, I like Ken

1289
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Walker three. He's in a grade in this one. As

1290
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: expected with Rashad penny Down, Walker saw eight teen carries

1291
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: last week and essentially became the bell cow. This week,

1292
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: he gets a Chargers team that is allowing five point

1293
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: eight yards per carrying. That's laughable. They've allowed three of

1294
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: the past four lead runners they faced to go for

1295
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: at least a hundred and fifteen Combo yards easy A

1296
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: for Ken Walker. UH. Gino Smith he gets a B grade.

1297
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Came back to earth a little bit last week versus Arizona,

1298
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: but still helped by his fantasy numbers. With forty eight

1299
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Gino has had multiple touchdown passes

1300
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: and three of his last four, and he faces a

1301
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Chargers defense that is allowing almost two passing scores per game. Uh.

1302
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,799
Speaker 1: The matchup is strong for both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

1303
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: I'll give a B to Metcalf, but we have a

1304
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: game time decision on Tyler Lockett, who's nursing a hamstring injury,

1305
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: so just to see for him. UH. J C. Jackson

1306
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: has been an absolute disaster for the Chargers this year.

1307
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Of the corner, well of the corners who have played

1308
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,919
Speaker 1: at least half the snaps this year. He's Pro Football

1309
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Focus his worst corner in the league and his deal

1310
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: was like that supposed to be the Yeah. He's allowing

1311
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: the eighth most passing yards in his coverage at three

1312
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: thirty one. On the other side, Sante Samuel hasn't been

1313
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: much better. He's allowing the fourteenth most passing yards in

1314
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: his coverage at two nine, So Lockett and Metcalf probably

1315
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: do for a bounce back this week after last week's disappointment.

1316
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: In fact, if if Lockett doesn't play, Metcalf probably goes

1317
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: up to an A grade. Uh. It seems like Noah

1318
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Fant is taking over the tight end position in Seattle,

1319
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 1: which I correctly pointed out last week. He's about even

1320
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: for snaps with Will Disley, but they're sending Fant on

1321
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the route tree while keeping disleyan for protection. Fant sauce

1322
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: seven targets last week to just one for Disley, and

1323
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Fant also got the loan tight end target in the

1324
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: red zone. The Chargers have allowed the sixth most yards

1325
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: against the tight end of this season. So just like Ludacrous,

1326
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give give Noah Fant a Cee Brian would

1327
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: appreciate that one. I know Austin Ekeler, well, I can't

1328
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: give him the art Vark now, but I guess I'll

1329
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: give him up. I want to give him a Fonzie

1330
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: and an art Vark, because good Lord, Austin Ekeler is

1331
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,959
Speaker 1: going to have a great game. I kind of highlighted

1332
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: it with Sony Michelle as might take a chance on

1333
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: me runner just an air bear. He's also an A grade.

1334
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm going through all the sound effects in this one charge.

1335
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Where's my bear? Come on? There is? Uh. Seahawks are

1336
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: allowing the seventh most passing yards per game at two

1337
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: fifty six. Keenan Allen still limited with the hamstring injury.

1338
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you can think about starting him right

1339
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: now because he's a late game and Mike william Is.

1340
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade, A seed to Josh Palmer.

1341
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: Palmer saw twelve targets last week against Denver. If Alan

1342
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: doesn't go, Palmer flexes into the slot a lot more,

1343
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,879
Speaker 1: where you'd see the best corner matchup of Justin Coleman.

1344
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: This week, it's a similarly tough matchup to last week

1345
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: against Denver. Seattle's fifth round rookie Tarik Woolen has an

1346
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,799
Speaker 1: awesome start to his career. Uh He's only allowed fifteen

1347
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: catches through six games. He'll mostly see Williams hence to

1348
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: be finally Gerald Everett. He gets a C grade here.

1349
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Everett saw seven targets last week and went five catches

1350
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: for twenty nine yards. Donald Parham seems to be the

1351
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 1: deep threat caught all three of his targets for fifty three.

1352
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: But I had another concussion last week. There might be

1353
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: a career for Donald. I'm just so nervous about him.

1354
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: It's too bad. When we come back, premature speculation. Nine players,

1355
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: not sorry, three players, actually four. You're gonna get four

1356
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: players that you can pick up this week that everybody

1357
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: else will be trying to pick up next week. Speculation.

1358
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's the final segment of Fantasy

1359
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Gearchi and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison

1360
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: with you. If you have not yet joined a guillotine league,

1361
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: there are still leagues forming all the time. Basically, if

1362
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: there's not a game playing actively NFL game playing, you know,

1363
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: there can be an NBA game playing, it doesn't matter.

1364
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 1: Then we're forming new leagues at Guillotine leagues dot com.

1365
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: You can still get into a season long guillotine style

1366
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: league even today. This is a segment we call premature speculation.

1367
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: The premise is we're gonna give you three right before

1368
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: that you can pick up this week that everybody else

1369
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: will be trying to pick up next week. Why is

1370
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: it that all of our time machines stopped suddenly? But

1371
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: that's when they've reached its death. The nation time time

1372
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: to right now. I like that we have multiple time issues.

1373
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: All of our machines always just stop making noise. They

1374
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 1: don't like fade out anything. Let's begin with Scott Fish,

1375
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player or players. Yeah. See, I like

1376
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: helping people with the tight ends. I know people are

1377
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: have a lot of issues. Gave you Kad Dot and

1378
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,560
Speaker 1: earlier Daniel Bellinger. Now I'm going to Greg Dulcich. Some

1379
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: of these stats are from my good friend Andrew Cooper

1380
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Alarm, so I want to give him some credit.

1381
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: But he did. He played almost He played eighty one

1382
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: percent of snaps, sixty one cent from wide receiver position,

1383
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: zero snaps pass blocking. Dulcich twelve yard average depth of target,

1384
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: so he's getting down field for these. He did have

1385
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: two catches for three yards scored a touchdown in his

1386
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: first game. They had Albert a queb and i'm uh

1387
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: inactive a healthy scratch. They didn't draft Albert. They drafted

1388
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Dulctch this regime um and his loan target they didn't

1389
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: catch was an end zone target. So a lot of

1390
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 1: great usage and the reason I mentioned him is because

1391
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 1: if he does become a thing, you want to get

1392
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: him now before he becomes a thing. He might be

1393
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: a streamer guy. You can drop him. If he's not

1394
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: get him now. He did have a thirty nine yard

1395
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: touchdown last that was sweet to all right, let's go

1396
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: to the next premature speculation player man Uh Kirra and Williams.

1397
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: The news came out that the Rams are attempting to

1398
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: move on from cam Acres, not attempting. That's that ship

1399
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: sailed my mind. Well Acres hasn't like sailed out of

1400
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: l A as far as I know yet, but there's

1401
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: gonna be open touches in the Rams backfield. Kiren Williams

1402
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: currently eligible to come off I are where he landed

1403
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: after Week one and after having ankle surgery. The Rams

1404
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 1: are on a bye this week. In week eight fits

1405
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: the timeline for Williams's return. The Rams have also been

1406
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: a backfield by committee since Todd Gurley left. They've seen

1407
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: their runners wear down as the season goes on. It

1408
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: happened to Darrell Henderson last year. I can't imagine they're

1409
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna let him get twenty touches per week for the

1410
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: next twelve weeks. So somebody's gonna have to fill in,

1411
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be kyr and Williams

1412
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: totally agree. Henderson doesn't look good and Acres is dead

1413
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: to them, so they did mention they want Karen Williams

1414
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: to have a big role when he comes back. Absolutely,

1415
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: I think this is this is the this is the

1416
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: best of the premature speculations. I'm gonna give you two.

1417
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: One that Matt Harrison hates. Johnnie Woods is a freak

1418
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: athlete tight end on a team that throws the tight

1419
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: end all the time. Now he's got it. At some

1420
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: point get a bigger time share than what he's getting

1421
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: in a mixed time share with the Colts. But the

1422
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Colts have of the ability to feed tight ends. And

1423
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: if Johnny Woods is as good as he can be,

1424
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: I think at some point he outpaces mo Ali Cox

1425
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: and others. If it's not, it may not even happen

1426
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: this year, maybe it's next year, or maybe he just

1427
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 1: gets better throughout the course of the season as a rookie.

1428
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: I like Jollnnie Woods. The other guy I want to

1429
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 1: mention Matt's premature a sorry take a chance on me

1430
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:01,560
Speaker 1: running back was Sony Michelle it was any good. No,

1431
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: he's not. Isaiah Spillers. He's gonna be active for the

1432
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 1: first time this week. Now. We would have loved it

1433
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: had he been so good that he would have taken

1434
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: command of the number two job. But you know what

1435
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: it's he was a rookie. Sometimes it just takes a

1436
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: while to get the pass blocking and everything else going.

1437
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 1: If Spillers flashes something here, he may end up having

1438
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 1: the the number two job to himself with Josh Kelly out.

1439
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: Because Sony Michelle's no threat, I have another one for you.

1440
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: Charges premature speculation right back, Kenny Drake, is he any good?

1441
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Justice Hill overtook him until he was injured. He's coming back.

1442
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins is up. Maybe go grab him? What

1443
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: about Gus Edwards about premature speculation? Got m last week?

1444
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: What about don't use any Ravens running backs? What about

1445
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Jamis Jamison Williams Lions wide receiver. He'll be coming back

1446
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. Go pick him up. We're just

1447
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,560
Speaker 1: throwing him off. All the names in fantasy at the

1448
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: rest of the roster the NFL, is this come up? Oh?

1449
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,919
Speaker 1: This is off? The Rails Bears take on the Patriots

1450
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Um, let's talk this one through. By

1451
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: the way, you may not know the Patriots starting quarterback

1452
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: is until closer to Monday. They have not made any

1453
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,600
Speaker 1: announcement as we have gone on the air here, But

1454
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,600
Speaker 1: there's only a couple of Bears players to start on

1455
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: their side of the ball, beginning with David Montgomery with

1456
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: just a C grade. Patriots run defense has played well

1457
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: this year, including holding Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to

1458
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: a combined sixty eight yards last week. Only one opponent

1459
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: has topped sixty rushing yards all year against New England. UM.

1460
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: Patriots the league's only team that has a lot of

1461
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: running back touchdown, ground or air. Zero touchdowns allowed. So

1462
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: I can't love Montgomery here, but let me mention the

1463
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: Patriots are not a totally impenetrable run defense. But you're

1464
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: upside here from Monty's probably eight scoreless combo yards and

1465
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: that's a C grade for Montgomery. Have they allowed any

1466
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns by sea? No, uh, nor by space or by time?

1467
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: You know, the fourth dimension is time, so none of

1468
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 1: those places and pretty good Montgomery is only a C.

1469
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: That means is only one third of the snaps of Montgomery,

1470
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: so we can't go to him either, he's on the bench.

1471
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney is the only other receivers with a C grade.

1472
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: Three straight matchups with over fifty yards for Darnell Mooney,

1473
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: I like that part, whopping twelve targets last week by

1474
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: far as big as total of the year. Tricky matchup

1475
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: though against a good Patriots secondary. Mooney runs predominantly from

1476
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: the slot, and that matches him up against Miles Bryant

1477
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: and inconsistent cornerback who allowed to touchdown last week. New

1478
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: England's secondary has been dominant overall, though the last couple

1479
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,600
Speaker 1: of games. Last week's opponent, Cleveland, had all three of

1480
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: its top pass catchers finished in the bottom fourteen and separation.

1481
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: So I don't love Mooney here just to see grade.

1482
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: Nobody else is startable on the Bears. Well, let's spend

1483
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: a minute talking about Cole Comet. Can we okay? A

1484
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: whole minute? One minute? He's on the field for of

1485
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: the the snaps and yet he never gets any targets

1486
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: or receptions because he's their best offensive lineman. Well, you

1487
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: would think that that's that they must be keeping him

1488
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: back to block, which is what I thought No, he's

1489
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: running routes on the passing plays and he gets one

1490
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: and a half targets per game. He's the ultimate decoy.

1491
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: Yes he is. He's been targeted on eleven of the

1492
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: team's passing plays. He should stop running down the field

1493
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: yelling hey, justin pass it to me, pass it to me.

1494
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Even in a bye week, commits one catch average makes

1495
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: him too deep to be considered a Oh God, I

1496
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: got I had to break out the dark thread. I'm sorry. Uh,

1497
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: nobody else is starting that side. Let's go to the

1498
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: New England Patriots side. I'm gonna start with the running

1499
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: game here. There's a chance Damien Harris plays in this game. UM,

1500
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: so we'll first We'll start here. Romandre Stevenson is an

1501
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 1: auto A. If Damien Harris does not play, will downgrade

1502
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: him to a bee. If Harris does play, he's averaging

1503
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty five touches without Harris and fourteen with Harris if

1504
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: he will face a Bears defense that's allowed the fourth

1505
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,560
Speaker 1: most total yards per game to opposing running backs. The

1506
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: last five starters to face the Bears have averaged one

1507
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: twenty three total yards and one point two touchdowns per game.

1508
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: Those are mouth watering numbers. Hopefully, honestly, hopefully Harris does

1509
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: not go, so Stevenson can just be a have a

1510
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: great play here and um don't know the quarterback situation,

1511
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: but they're both on the bench. So whether you want

1512
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: Matt Jones or Bailey's Appy, we're not gonna go with

1513
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: either one of them in this game, although Zappy honestly

1514
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: has looked a little bit better. Damien Harris, if he

1515
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 1: plays just a C grade, put in a full practice

1516
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: on Thursday, suggesting you will be able to go UM,

1517
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: but he's got an ankle injury. There's the prospect of

1518
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: re injury here. Stevenson might be the starter because he's

1519
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: the healthier the two. Harris only available, only startable in

1520
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: a pinch. Uh, Jacoby Meyers was gonna take a chance

1521
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 1: to me wide receiver. He gets a B grade from

1522
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: me here. You might be tempted to go with Hunter

1523
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: Henry if your back to back solid games, but one

1524
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: of those came with John and John who out injured,

1525
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: and the Bears have been an elite tight end defense,

1526
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: allowing Chicago to Chicago, allowing um is let me back up.

1527
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 1: Chicago is top eight in tight end receptions. Tight end

1528
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: yards and tight end touchdowns, so we are not going

1529
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 1: to start any of them. Hunter Henry is on the bench.

1530
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: Final matchup is Steelers taking on the Dolphins. Scott, Yes,

1531
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: who's our Who's our Steelers quarterback for this game? It's

1532
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna be Kenny Pickett. Alright, it's gonna be he cleared

1533
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. He's gonna be the starter, and I got

1534
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: a C grade on him. I finally get to maybe

1535
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: start Kenny Pickett in a in a in a league,

1536
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: maybe this week. The Dolphins d has allowed multiple scores

1537
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: in four the last five and at least one touchdown

1538
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: to every quarterback. They're also allowing two d and sixty

1539
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: seven yards per game. That's a fairly sea level floor

1540
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: if you're looking to sixty plus and one to two

1541
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 1: scores minimum. Uh and pick It's also a capable runner

1542
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:01,679
Speaker 1: who had a couple of touchdown runs just a couple

1543
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I think this could be a game

1544
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: where they're you know, touchdown dogs, where he threw fifty

1545
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: two times just a couple of weeks ago, you know,

1546
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: as a trailing team. I think he could unload for

1547
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,560
Speaker 1: forty to fifty attempts again in this one. Uh C

1548
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 1: grade for Kenny Pickett. As for the past catchers, this

1549
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: one's really annoying. Uh, Deonti Johnson, I do have a

1550
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: B grade on UM. In the loan full game that

1551
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett played, all three had five to six catches

1552
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,679
Speaker 1: fifty eight five yards. But Deonte Johnson has at least

1553
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: five in in five of the six games he has caught.

1554
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: Let's see here, he has caught at least five passes

1555
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: in each in each of those games, UM with pick

1556
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: it in. Uh, let's see, let's go over to Kenny Pickens.

1557
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Uh wow, I'm having trouble now, George Pickens. George Pickens

1558
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: is gonna get to see he has eleven catches on

1559
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,879
Speaker 1: a hundreds for a hundred seventy two yards on seventeen

1560
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: targets with Kenny Pickett in Chase Claypool, eight for seventy

1561
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: eight yards on twelve targets, a lot less volume for

1562
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool with Kenny with Kenny Pickett in the game,

1563
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 1: So Pickens is going to get to see. Last week,

1564
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: pick It only targeted Claypool twice. All that all the

1565
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Claypool stats came from Trabinsky, right, Yeah, yeah, pick It

1566
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 1: only targeted Claypool twice. Trabinsky only targeted Pickens twice. It

1567
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: seems like those two flipped depending on who the starter is.

1568
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,839
Speaker 1: Pat Fiarmouth, I gotta bree b grade on. Before the concussion,

1569
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: he was averaging nearly five catches for fifty six yards

1570
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: per game. Uh. The Miami Dolphins allow on average six

1571
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: catches for fifty six yards to tight ends. That feels

1572
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: like you might get there. Uh, and including scores and

1573
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: half their games, So be great on Pat Firemouth Nag Harris. Yeah,

1574
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: we begged you to trade him three episodes again. Uh,

1575
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: this this one I hate doing like I want to

1576
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: mention him. I want to. But given the bye week,

1577
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: and given the fact he gets fourteen to seventeen touches

1578
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 1: weekly does nothing with them, but he gets you two

1579
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: to five catches, he's gonna get a volume. See for me,

1580
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: He's not explosive, Like his best day is eighty nine

1581
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: total yards. He's been sub fifty yards and back to

1582
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: back the Dolphins are allowing the tenth fewest combo yards

1583
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: three point six nine yards per carry. It's a bad

1584
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: spot too. The only thing he's got going for him,

1585
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 1: and he's volume and Jalen Warren only got two touches

1586
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: last week. He gets everything, so he's going to get

1587
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the C grade on fifteen plus touches and we'll hope

1588
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 1: he can do something with it. Over on the other

1589
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: side to ah To, I'm given an A grade too.

1590
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: It's it's it's the start of that top ten finish.

1591
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: The charge and I both had in in three tough questions.

1592
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: This Steelers defense is allowing two nine yards and two

1593
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: scores per game, about two hundred nine yards and two

1594
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: scores per game, and they have a ton of injury.

1595
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: He's in their defensive backfield. They have allowed multiple touchdowns

1596
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: and three or six. I don't need to keep going.

1597
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: We saw what Too has done, what that Miami offense

1598
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: has done. We've talked about it. A grade for two.

1599
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 1: He's gonna get those yards and scores this week. Tyreek

1600
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: Kill and Jalen Waddle, I feel are automatic a's. The

1601
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: volume is concentrated to those guys. I know Waddle is

1602
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a little banged up and he had too a couple

1603
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: of dods this season, but his upside is a hundred

1604
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: and fifty plus yards in a score. You can't bench him.

1605
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: And this is a pretty decent matchup against his secondary

1606
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: that's that banged up and has allowed eight different writer

1607
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: receivers to top a hundred yards and or a score

1608
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: this season. Mike Kasecki C grade. He's about as hit

1609
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: and missus you get there, gonna showcase him first grade.

1610
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: I'd feel exactly, I'd feel better better if Wattle wasn't going.

1611
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: But he has four games the thirty or fewer. But

1612
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: he's got forty one yards or a score, forty one

1613
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: yards in a score in sixty nine and two scores. Uh.

1614
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: If Waddle doesn't go, upgrade him to a B where

1615
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: he mostard B grade lead the team in touches in

1616
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 1: five straight games, fifteen plus touches in three straight. He's

1617
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 1: getting all the work most most of It's gained four

1618
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: catches in each of the last four games. Fifteen touch

1619
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: guys generally get over eighty five total yards on the Steelers.

1620
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: That's B grade level. If he's getting a few catches

1621
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: in eighty five plus yards, that's that sounds about right. Yeah,

1622
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: James Conner, you know, Benjamin the rest of the year,

1623
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 1: what do you think. I think it's still James Connor.

1624
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: I think it's neither just a week ago, we saw

1625
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin go fifteen carries for thirty seven yards.

1626
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like, do you guys not cross off offenses

1627
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: or backfields? Like I think I'm always the one crossing

1628
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: off I do, but charge forced the question. So all right,

1629
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm team you know. I don't love him, but I

1630
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 1: thought I prefer you know too. But all right. If
