WEBVTT - The San Francisco Treat! 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:09.799 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio, 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.600 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice, 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:21.120 Now from dante leagues dot com. Here's your host, Paul. 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:27.960 It's Fantasy Football Weekly, a San Francisco edition. Would you 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.280 call it a San Francisco Treats? I think I would do, 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.600 as a matter of fact, And that might even be 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.240 the title of the show this week. Those are the 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.280 voices of Matt Harrison and Scott Fish respectively. It is 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.360 the title of this show, the San Francisco treat This 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.199 is one of the biggest in season trades with Fantasy 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:51.640 ramifications in memory. This is this is gigantic, potentially putting 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.400 Christian McCaffrey into a position to be the highest scoring 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:01.160 Fantasy player from this point forward. At if it's any 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.640 indication he went to the place where running backs go 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.880 to get injured. And that makes me a little nervous. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.360 The injury thing is gonna be interesting for me because 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.759 like it wasn't injured playing on crass and grass in college, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.240 wasn't injured the first three years in Carolina playing on grass. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.800 They switched the turf injured multiple years in a row. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.600 He goes back to grass, but that might get injured 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.720 all the time. There's so I don't know. Maybe there's 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.720 a curse. So if you already, if you own Christian McCaffrey, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.080 you can name your price right now, right, I mean, 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.840 you know, I think the buzz and the optimism right 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.199 and it it seems to me eight times out of ten, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.960 had you made the deal when the buzz was at 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.920 its fervor to come out on the better side, what 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.240 would it take to get you to trade away Christian 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.640 McCaffrey right now? What kind of deal are you looking for? 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.760 Jonathan Taylor plus another you know is there. I'm just 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.600 not doing not doing it. I'm just not doing it. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.360 I think he has the chance to be potentially RB 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.040 one coming for the through the end of the season. 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.840 I want that on my roster. I feel like Kyle 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.080 Shanahan is the type of guy that can scheme plays 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.760 to make his best players really really good. And he's 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.959 showing they don't pass their running backs a lot. But 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.079 that's gonna change. Cam Newton never threw to running backs 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.560 until they got Christie McCaffrey, So that's gonna change. Kyl 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.720 Shanahan has a way of making his best players effective, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.240 and he's got a brand new toy. I want that 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.280 for the ride. So I I show up and I 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.440 care for you. The second the highest scoring running back 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:35.160 today probably say, and I'm gonna throw in an elite 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.240 wide receiver, Jamaar Chase. You're still you're doing that? Yeah, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.840 I mean, no one's offering that. But how about this? 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.840 How about this? I mean there's there's always a price 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.440 for Mark Andrews being that the tight end position. Those 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.520 two guys are like different, a whole other level ahead 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.320 of the next wider next tight end, Like zach Ertz 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.160 is like the number three tight end right now, but 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.040 it takes two zach Ertz to get to Mark Andrews 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.400 right now. So like if the Travis Kelsey owners, like, 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.160 I'll take McCaffrey off your hands for Kelsey, I think 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.560 I do it. See I'm not. Yeah, you know, I 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.359 I think I think if you own Christian McCaffrey, I'd 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.760 find out what's out there, you know, I think I'd 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.200 find out. I'd find out what be blown away because 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.840 somebody might do that. So you're gonna you're gonna get 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.639 an overpay. We already know that it's just will somebody overpay. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.480 Do you think this is a public message board thing 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.360 in your league or do you reach out privately in 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.320 d m s to several owners and go, no, I 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.040 want to compete against each other, so I want to. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.800 I hit it. I do it across my I do 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.920 it on the message board I hit the eleven other 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.360 owners in my league with hey, Christian McCaffrey is available, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.200 best offers. I'm listening. Sure, why not? And if you 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.360 drafted Christian McCaffrey, he hasn't, you know, fired all that 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.280 well this year, so you're probably in a bad spot 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.920 right now anyway, and you probably need to get two 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.440 players for Christian MC for you to maybe bolster your chance. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.960 I think I think you can do it, you know, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.400 and maybe get somebody who's already had had a bye week. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.240 DAMMI Damian Pierce is involved in this deal. Derrick Henry, 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:16.280 Derrick Henry is involved straight up, But honestly, yes, I would, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.680 honestly I would. All right, let's talk more about what's 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.040 coming up. Over the course of the show. We're gonna 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.840 break down all the games as we always do. Uh, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.920 and that will begin with Bucks and Panthers in just 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.600 a minute. But we also will answer three tough questions, 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.560 will take a chance on nine players, and we'll have 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:39.000 premature speculation featuring that guy right there. We love and all. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.880 We got some big names coming up. I'm premature speculation. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.920 I'm very excited about. Let's begin with the Bucks taking 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.480 on the Panthers. Scott. So we've been talked talked a 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.920 lot about the San Francisco side of this deal. This 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.280 leaves the Panthers in a really spot. Obviously, you know 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.440 they're not playing for this year. The presumed starter for 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.040 the Panthers is going to be down to four A 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.360 man running back. Yeah, yeah, So I've had the Panthers 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.760 a few times this season, and I'm usually it's usually 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.400 been start Christian McCaffrey maybe and bench everybody else early 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.520 in the season, maybe Dgmore. Now it's just bench everybody, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.440 just bench the whole Panthers. I put in our little 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.640 show Slack earlier this week. Is any Panther going to 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.280 get a starting grade for the rest of the season. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.839 I'm not sure. I'm not sure that even happens. Any Panther. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.440 There may not be even a C grade for any 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.520 Panthers have to be a heck of a matchup, and 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.360 this isn't a good one, Dallas is. It's it's a 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.440 pretty tough d on. The Bucks are pretty tough, pretty 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.920 tough d on both on both fronts. They're only allowing 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.640 ninety four yards in a score on average in the 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.440 run game, and that's probably gonna get split between Cuba 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.760 and Dante. Another thing I saw this week, guess how 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.880 many times how many plays the Panthers have run inside 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.839 the five this year? You love your inside the five 0:05:55.120 --> 0:06:00.320 nine times? Oh, I can only hope two geez two 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.680 plays inside the five in six weeks. So even if 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.600 one is a bulldozer at the goal, you're not a 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.440 guy that they're all on the bench. Let's go over 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.280 to the Buck side. Can't just say they're all in 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.960 you're starting line up? Pretty much? That is that how 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.040 it works. Uh. Brady hasn't been lights out, but he's 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.800 getting a C grade here. Um uh. This is one 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.560 where the Bucks should get ahead. So he might not 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.159 have like a B level grade in him, but there 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.479 are ten point five favorites. Brady might get enough on 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.760 the way to that lead. He's averaging um in wins. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.000 He's averaging about two yards in a score. Sadly, that's 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.000 that's uh not very good. But the Panthers are allowing 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.960 about two fifty yards and just short shy of two 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.960 scores per game. I think he'll be a little closer 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.000 to that this week. That's probably C level. He might 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.080 lean into B level. The fact that they'll be leading 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.320 leads me to leave him around the sea. I have 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.000 a B grade on both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.919 as I feel like late in the game in the 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.640 second half, they're gonna leave on the run here and uh, 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.279 but they'll get up there against the eighth worst d 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.600 against Fantasy wide receivers, allowing seven players to hit eighty 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.760 yards and or a score in the last four weeks alone. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.679 So the one and the two are getting work done 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.360 against this Carolina Panthers team. And Evans and Godwin get 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.160 over six of the target share, so they're getting there. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.840 Is Godwin has six catches in three straight, sixty plus 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.560 yards in three straight. He's really really safe. Mike Evans 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.679 gets you most of his touchdowns. It should be noted 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.040 that Mike Evans goes will be going against um Dante Jackson, 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.400 who is considered a shutdown corner, but he let Chris 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.320 Alave go for a hundred plus and two scores just 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.640 a couple of weeks ago. And the last time Evans 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.280 faced him, Evans went for six and eighty nine and 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.320 two scores. Alright, So and what is it about six 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.080 five and five tents? So what have we got a 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040 seven inch difference there too? That helps ye, that will 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.680 help Kate ont And I thought about making this guy 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.360 might take a chance on me player. I have a 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.800 C grade on him. Just a couple of weeks ago, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.000 when Cameron Brad missed the week, he played of slaps 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.640 snaps and he he ran more routes than any other 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.239 tight end in the NFL that week. He was really 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.680 out there. He has three red zone targets in the 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.400 five quarters he's played without Cameron Brad in the game. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.840 He went two for twenty three last week when Brad 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.239 went out, he uh he had a seven targets, six catch, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.960 forty three yard day in the whole game that Bright 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.880 was out. It seems like Brady actually trust him and 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.160 they actually want him running routes. Um, so I have 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.000 him with a C grade. I think he gets it 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.560 done here. If you're in a pinch in a bye week, 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.840 then this is a perfect guy, perfect perfect guy. And 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.800 and Brad might be out for a little bit. We 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.520 don't know that neck injury scary, so uh, Leonard Fournett, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.240 I have an A grade on you. I told you 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.040 that the Casey game for for the Casey game for 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.959 four net and his three carries was simply game script. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.320 As me from a few weeks ago, I was I 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.120 was very mad that that was That was all game script, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.079 only three carries. Since then, he's had a twenty four 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.720 touch and a twenty seven touch game. He actually caught 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.080 at least five passes in four straight games. The volume 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.360 of the past game work, the likely game script of 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.960 being ahead against the Panthers team six worth worst against 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.920 the run, that gives a lot, gives up seven running 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.840 back touchdowns over the course of these six games, and 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.320 nearly a hundred fifty Comboy yards per game. Sign me up. 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.520 I don't see anyway he doesn't get an A grade here. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.480 I have him ranked as the top six running back. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.200 I do have Rashod White on the bench. However, this 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:32.600 is a close one though. If the but if you 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.920 do believe the Bucks are going to blow demoralized Carolina team. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.840 That might be some fourth quarter you know me. I 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.400 like Rashade White. He was a preseason sleeper. I had 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.280 him on a premature speculation before. I think I might 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.600 have even taken take on him. New is in his 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.959 six for five catch fifty yard week anyway. Uh, he 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.480 could get some late game work. But he's only gained 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.240 seven to eight touches, and last week he only had 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.720 two touches. It's a three touches. It's a little scary 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.160 for me to, you know, throw him out there with 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.920 how little the volume he is getting. It seems like 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.880 Lenny's getting up into that high twenties and touches. All right, 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.520 Let's go to the Jets taking on the Broncos Matt 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.440 On the Jets side, Bruce Hall has turned into a 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.360 freaking beast, and he's just in my mind almost in 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.640 every week a great here is it Briest mode? How 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.680 about that? Oh I'd like it. That's out there, that's 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.640 out there, that's how I like. Oh man, I just 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.679 came up with that in my brain and it is 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.439 out there. But let's just give you credit for it, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.480 all right. I have not heard that before, but I 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.880 love it now. The Broncos are good defense, but I 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.360 still love Briefe Hall here. Yeah, I'm giving him. I'm 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.280 giving him an a Here has at least twenty opportunities 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.679 in each of the last three games, clearly leading the 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.040 backfield over Michael Carter, who's now just the change of 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.640 pace back. I will give Carter a playable see here, though, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.920 is the Broncos are kind of a strange defense against 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.079 the run. They're allowing four points six yards per carry, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.320 which is the tenth worst in the league. They're also 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.439 allowing the fourth most receptions per game, and both Carter 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.600 and Breece are pretty good at catching the ball out 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.000 of the backfield. But they haven't really allowed a big 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.120 day to the running back because they don't allow many scores. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.760 Only three touchdowns allowed to the running backs on the season, 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.000 all on the ground, zero through the air, zero through 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:25.720 the sea. God no no no aqua touchdowns. Zach Wilson, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.880 Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, and the disgruntled the Eli Jahmore 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.440 are all on the bench. More has essentially been given 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.679 a week off to cool down. He'll be inactive this 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.760 week since Geno Smith through for one and two scores 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.000 in Week one. The Broncos are allowing passing yards per 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.200 game and have only allowed one passing touchdown. It's five weeks. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.880 Is fantastic. Yeah, it's pretty good. They've also allowed the 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.200 third fewest wide receiver yards. It's definitely a running back 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.760 game against Denver. On the Denver side, the Jets are 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.600 literally the middle of the pack eist defense in every 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:08.240 category against every position by Jet standards. That's awesome. Good job, Jets. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.560 You're up the middle of the perfect. So if you'd 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.160 normally start a Bronco here, you're still going to start them. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.520 And if you normally wouldn't, you wouldn't. Russ Wilson probably 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.760 a C start in super flex leagues where you have 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.079 to start two quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Matthew 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.200 Stafford and Kirk Cousins all on by this week, Wilson 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.040 would have to be startable in those situations. In single quarterbacks, 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.559 I think you can leave him on the bench. He 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.559 now has a hamstring injury that has him limited in 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.880 practice to go along with the shoulder, and there was 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.640 talk that Brett Rippon might start. Don't He's got Wolverine blood. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.559 So there we go. But Rogers managed to forty six 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.240 and a score last week against the Jets, and that 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.679 sounds about right for us this week. Uh, Courtland Sutton 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.439 and Jerry Judy. I'll give them both C grades, but 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.880 I don't feel great about it. Uh. Sutton was shut 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.599 down by the Chargers last week, only three targets and 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.200 two catches for fourteen yards. But he has seen double 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.640 digit targets and three of the prior or. Jerry Judy 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.679 has fifty three or fifty four yards in each of 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.520 the last three games. Uh, they like him for fifty 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.120 three and a half this week. You know, if they 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.120 gave half yards he'd probably hit that mark, like perfectly. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.120 The Jets have actually allowed the seventh fewest yards and 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.000 receptions to wide receivers, but the tenth most touchdowns. So 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.160 low yards and a chance at a score is what 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.079 you're looking at here. You can't expect more for the 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.400 averages for these guys. Greg Dulcitch is a name to watch. 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.880 The rookie played his first game last week and caught 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.480 a thirty nine yard touchdown past when he was left 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.960 wide open. Let's see if they ramp up the routes. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.839 And then finally the running backs. Nathaniel Hackett had some 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.120 sort of sit down heart to heart how wow with 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.640 Melvin Gordon and they because he was upset about the usage. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.000 After the summit meeting, they said, Melvin will be more involved, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.800 but have they touched base with Mike Boone or come 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.280 to Jesus with Latavius Murray. My guest, the Broncos will 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.960 leverage their synergies correctly and all three will be involved, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.120 which means none of them are start worthy and are 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.880 all on your bench. I don't want any part of that. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.040 I hope you on that. Fantasy Football Weekly Returns and Moments, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.120 including nine players upon whom you can take a chance 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.199 in a tricky bye week. It's the bike Acalypse edition 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:46.720 of Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly. Take 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.040 a chance on me. This is a segment in which 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.920 we unveil nine players upon whom you can take a chance. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.840 It's a brutal bye week. We haven't even talked about 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.600 this yet. Bill's Rams, Vikings Eagles. These are some of 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.760 the elite offenses in the NFL. You're grambling for players, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.160 and we're here to help. Beginning at the quarterback position, 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.520 Scott Fish. Yeah, I'm going a little deeper this week 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.000 with a little uh well, maybe it's not that deep, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.480 but Davis Mills versus the Raiders last week was a 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.680 terrible spot for Davis, But this week he gets a 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.520 bottom five pass defense who has allowed multiple touchdowns to 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.400 all five quarterbacks they faced two, sixty, six, to three, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.280 and twenty yards and each of those as well. Mills 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.840 has really been in the two to two score range, 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.400 but this upcoming game is easily his easiest easiest matchup 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.080 so far. All right, next quarterback, take a chance on me, Matt. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.840 I've got Marcus Mariota, who's currently a top twelve quarterback 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.880 in most formats. He's really doing it with his feet. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.040 Three games of over fifty rushing yards, three games with 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.560 a rushing score. He hasn't top two or twenty nine 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.520 passing yards all season, and he's facing a Bengals defense 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.440 that's seen one running quarterback this year. That was Lamar Jackson. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.000 He was able to scamper for fifty eight yards and 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.720 then I dug into a deeper Here's the quarterbacks the 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.320 Bengals have faced this year. Mitch True, Bisky, Cooper, rush, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.520 Joe Flacco, Teddy Bridgewater for more than half a game, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.920 and Andy Dalton. All five of those are back up quarterbacks. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.600 So I think it's a little smoke in mirrors about 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.680 how good this Bengals defenses. And let's see if Marcus 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.480 Mariota can put up some numbers and they may have 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.480 to actually finally pass, because only the Bears are are 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.000 passing less than the Falcons are, but they're probably at 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.440 a deficit against a good Bengals offense, and maybe they've 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.600 got to pass a little bit more, which would be helpful. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.360 Matt Ryan quietly is second in the NFL and passing 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.280 yards Berg came behind only Josh Allen. Matt Ryan. His 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.440 two best games of the year are both positive harbingers 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.160 for this week's matchup with Tennessee. Last week, Ryan exploded 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.360 for a most four hundred yards and three scores. That 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.640 was just last week, and his other really good performance 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.800 was against the same team he's playing this week, Tennessee 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.840 three fifty yards and two touchdowns. Titans have allowed multiple 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.840 passing touchdowns in every game and over three hundred passing 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.600 yards in fourth straight. I love Matt Ryan this week. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.240 Great opportunity. Let's go to the running back position. Scott, Yeah, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.120 I have a guy here that you're probably not gonna 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.840 find on waivers. But you probably also haven't started him 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.280 most of the time because he just hasn't had good 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.879 games or matchups. But that's Tony Pollard. Lawrence Jackson mentioned 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.280 of NBC Sports mention that his bi weekly huge run 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.440 is the reason that that people think he might be good, 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.760 but he hasn't been good so far. Pollard wasn't the 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.800 most efficient last week, but again saw thirteen touches for 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.480 the third time in a row and has at least 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.440 eight touches in every game. This week, he gets a 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.520 Detroit Lions team allowing five point five yards per carry, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.159 second most rushing yards per game, most rushing touchdowns per 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.600 game to running backs, and they're gonna and it's gonna 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.879 probably be a decently high scoring game. That eight to 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.800 thirteen touches at those clips should be pretty good for 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.680 Tony Pollard here, all right, you'll take a chance for 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.440 me running back Matt a little gross. I got Sony Walkman. 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:02.000 Michelle Ashua Kelly was a non participant with a knee 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.480 injury and Wednesday and Thursday's practice, so Sony Michelle is 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.240 the clear number two to Austin Ekeler in the Chargers backfield. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:11.240 Michelle did tally eight carries and three receptions last week 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.280 against Denver, while Austin Ekeler saw thirty opportunities in that game. 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.800 But they can't use Ekeler like that. They have to 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.360 give him some time off. This week, the Chargers face 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.480 the Seattle defense that is allowing the most combo running 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.760 back yards in the league. Had a hundred and fifty 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.639 eight per game, plus four point six yards per carry 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.960 an eight point one yards per reception. Michelle is gonna 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.240 get ten touches at the minimum, so that's like forty 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.400 to sixty yards pretty easy here if it helps. Forty 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:42.280 yards never comes easy to Sony Walkman, but the opportunity, sure, 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.399 we'll be there. Josh Kelly is going to be out now, 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.840 so yeah, might take a chance to be running back 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.359 is Kenyan Drake. He'll be your lead runner with j K. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.199 Dobbins ruled out and probably expected to miss more than 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.919 a month. Michael on I R, and honestly, I think 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.960 from a fantasy perspective, we hope he does go on 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.600 I R so we can stash him. Uh Drake will 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.160 are the load like he did last week. He ripped 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:06.520 off last week Kenyan Drake to thirty yard runs and 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.840 a twenty yard run. That's not the Kenyan Drake we know. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.080 The Browns defense is allowing the fifth most rushing yards, 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.840 the second highest yards per carry five and a half, 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.720 and the most touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:22.399 It's a premost spot for Kenyan Drake. Let's go to 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.600 the receivers and Scott Fish. I am doing a tight 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.879 end for my receiver this week, and it's gonna be 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.480 Daniel Bellinger, who I keep talking about because I want 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.360 to make him happen. I feel like then you're you're 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.720 to speaking into exist. Yes, it feels like I've been 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.399 talking about him a lot. Uh. Last week he had 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.240 he played percent of the snaps each week. His snaps 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.440 has increased. Last week, he led the team in targets, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.840 leads the Giants and wide receiver tight end red zone opportunities, 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.199 scored in back to back and scored in three out 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.280 of the last five. Also has a rushing touchdown that 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.359 you can throw on there. This season gets a Jags 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.040 d who has allowed an average of about five for 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.680 fifty five to tight ends over the last three weeks. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.720 I can see that for Daniel Bellinger this week that 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.480 would be all right. We take that this is the type. 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.479 These five weeks are very tricky for tight ends. That's 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.760 why I did It's a position. I like that your receiver, Matt. 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.040 I've got Hayden Hurst in a revenge game. Uh might 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.399 be a little extra revenge for this one, seeing is 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.920 how he was a pretty good tight end for Atlanta 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.560 in his first year there. Then they drafted Kyle Pitts 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.159 and like just cast him aside like an old, moldy 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.400 bag of tangerines. Can I coin a term here? It's 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.920 not only a revenge game, it's a twist the knife game. 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.040 We're going hard for better or worse. He's really angry. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:45.800 He has a mental health foundation to uh so. Hurst 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.440 is facing his former defense that doesn't know how to 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:50.920 cover the tight end position at all. They've allowed the 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.560 second most receptions and the third most yards to tight 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.960 ends this year and they have not faced anyone like 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.320 Travis Kelsey or Mark Andrews. Hurst will go for at 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.920 least seven in the yards and a score this week. 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:06.840 Mark it down. Jacoby Myers, Nobody nobody has ever excited 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.639 about starting a member of the Patriots passing attack. I know, 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.160
