Speaker 1: Paul Joshi. It's a week four edition of Fantasy Football Weekly.

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: It's just a bloodbath out there with so many injuries. Man,

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: you have to be nimble. The people are gonna win

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: this year are the people who are staying on top

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: of all of the news, that are responding quickly, that

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: are making changes to their lineups. There's never been a

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: worse year that I can remember to just like have

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: your draft and then just stick with those guys. My

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: co hosts today are Matt Harrison and Thorne Eystrom. Hi, guys,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it is. It is nuts.

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Our pre show meeting was like this guy's injured,

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: and this guy's injured, and this guy's injured, and like

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Raiders game is going to be.

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Just horrible, but yes, and what a what a disaster.

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: As always, we're going to bring you through all of

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: the remaining games on the NFL schedule. We'll answer three

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: tough questions. We'll give you nine players upon whom you

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: can take a chance, and as always premature speculation near

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: the end of the show, we dive in with a

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: game without as much injury drama, I'm happy to say,

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: And for the Bengals, it's been a while since we

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: haven't had any. They come back after a tricky loss

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: against Washington, the Bengals now facing Carolina Panthers. Two weeks ago.

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: This looked like a layup. Now it's a little bit trickier.

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Let's start with Zach Moss. We talked about him as

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: a Bilow candidate a week or two ago. Yeah, and

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: he had a really nice game last week. Do you

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: like Zach Moss here against the Panthers.

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: I think it's funny that you say that the Bengals

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: are healthy at their zero to three one and two Panthers. Yeah,

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Zach Moss is the guy in Cincy right now. He's

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: seen seventy five percent of the snaps and faces of

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: Panthers defense. There really hasn't been good against the run

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: since Jake Delane was in town. Carolina gave up one

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: hundred and ten total yards to Kamara one thirty one

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: to JK. Dobbins, both of them scored. Mos gets an

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: A here and oh, by the way, Chase Brown is

43
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: a desperation C grade because backups Jamal Williams he had

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: fifty one total yards in a score, Gus Edwards fifty

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: nine yards, Alexander Madison forty four in a score. If

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: you're desperate for a running back, Chase Brown, a lot

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: of people are right now. Might be a guy that

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: you can start. Jamar Chase. He gets an A grade.

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: T Higgins gets a B. Higgins was on the field

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: for ninety percent of the snaps. He saw six targets

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: in his first game back. It was encouraging to see

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: him get seventy six air yards on those six targets.

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Burrow was targeting him downfield. Speaking of downfield, this Panthers

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: defense got toasted by Rashid Shaheed in Week one and

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: it's mostly been J. C. Horn getting roasty and toasty.

56
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: He's allowing an average of thirteen yards per catch in

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: his coverage and he and Mike Jackson will take turns

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: with Chase and Higgins. But the Bengals have the advantage

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: in every combo here, so good grades for them. It's

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: not a revenge game for Joe Burrow, but the oh

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: and three Bengals definitely have something to prove. If I

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: liked his receivers, I'm giving Burrow a start. He gets

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: a B grade. It's because the two quarterbacks who have

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: beat the Panthers this year, they've tallied two hundred and

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty yards through the air. That's it,

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: but both they haven't needed to they haven't needed to pass.

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Both Derek Carr and Justin Airbear did manage multiple scores

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: in those games, though, so that's why a B for Burrow.

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: It is a revenge game for his counterpart Andy Dalton.

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: It's actually his fourth crack at the Bengals with his

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: fourth different team. Wow. He saw time against Cincy while

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: in Dallas, Chicago, and New Orleans. He has thrown a

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: touchdown in every game against them when he's played the Bengals,

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: but he's never top two hundred yards in any game

75
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: against his former team. The Bengals were able to hold

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: Mahomes mostly in check in Week two. Jade and Daniels

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: ended up having a good day against them last week,

78
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: but he brings a totally different dimension than the almost

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: thirty seven year old Dalton. It's a good story, but

80
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm leaving him on the bench. Deontay Johnson I will

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: give a C grade too. He's played the Bengals a

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 2: lot in his career since he's figured out how you

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: neutralize him pretty well. He hasn't topped sixty yards or

84
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: scored in six straight outings against them. Game script alone

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: should be in Johnson's favor. So so is the fact

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: that Adam Thielen hit Ir this week with a hamstring injury.

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: And when Johnson goes up against Dax Hill on the

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: left side of the coverage, yeah, he's got a great matchup.

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: Hill has allowed a passer rating of one to twenty

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: one in his coverage so far. And Chewba Hubbard. He

91
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: gets a B grade and was given full belcow usage

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: last week and it paid off. He had twenty six touches,

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty nine total yards and a receiving score.

94
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: Every running back that's had double digit targets or sorry,

95
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: double digit touches against the Bengals this year has either

96
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: topped ninety total yards or scored, so Chuba Hubbard is

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: definitely in play with a B grade here.

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chuba Hubbard we were talking. There was those first

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: two weeks are like I can never ever start you

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: bubb it again. And then all it took was that

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: one Andy Dalton starting me like, okay, well, game back on.

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess all right there, Let's go to

103
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos at the Jets. Bonix coming off. I

104
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: think indisputably his best game. But you're come Sauce Gardner

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: and DJ Reid and on, no way am I starting

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: Bonix here? No, you can't.

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: You mentioned a first decent game in the NFL. Last

108
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: week he finished quarterback twelve in Fantasy and that in

109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: large part because of his rushing output. Terrible matchup here

110
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: against that Jets pass defense that is absolutely awesome. The

111
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: Jets are tied for second fewest passing touchdowns allowed in

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: the NFL this year. The Jets profile to immediately corral

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: Nicks is pattent a quick hitters and checkdowns, so he's

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: gonna have to run for a touchdown to return thee

115
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: value here. I keep him on the bench as well.

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams, I'm gonna give him a great tot. See

117
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: only Jordan Mason has seen more loaded boxes by the

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: numbers this year than mister Javonte Williams.

119
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: And your team's bothering to load the box against Javonte Williams.

120
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: It's a manifestation of a Bonix offense, right.

121
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: You don't have to keep guys deep for that.

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: And because of that, Javante held under seven PPR fantasy

123
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: points for the second time this season against Tampa Bay.

124
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: No touchdowns yet for him, sharing snaps of Julia mclafflin

125
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: and Tyler Baiting.

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Now.

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: In addition to that, the Jets have allowed the eighth

128
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: fewest fantasy points to running backs. Startable if you need to,

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: but of course you have to keep your expectations in check.

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to give Javanti Williams a see Cortland Sutton.

131
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm also going to give him a best game of

132
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: the season last week against the Buccaneers, seven of eleven

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: targets caught for sixty eight yards. But again Bonick's offense,

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: it's the short stuff.

135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: And I worry.

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: I worry about Sauce and DJ Reeve. That's the other thing.

137
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: You know, he will be across from Sauce Gardner and

138
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: so you know a guy in Sutton who had less

139
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: than eight fantasy points in each of the first two games.

140
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: I think he's headed back into that neighborhood. We'll we'll

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: give him a see though. Also going to give a

142
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: seat to Aaron Rodgers in this game flipping over to

143
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: the Jets. Rogers had two hundred and eighty one yards

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 3: with two touchdowns, no interceptions and that win over the

145
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: Patriots last Thursday. But this is a far worst matchup

146
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: for him. The Broncos also have an awesome pass defense,

147
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: and this should be another This should be a low

148
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: scoring game. The Vegas total is under forty. Breece Hall

149
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: going to give him an A. Of course, twenty plus

150
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: touches in a TD in all three games. Talking a

151
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: lot about Brayleen aw and we're gonna be talking more

152
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: about him later because he might take a chance on

153
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: me running back. But Breeseall needs to stay in your lineups.

154
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna downgrade Garrett Wilson to a B in this matchup.

155
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: Hasn't gotten over sixty receiving yards in any game this

156
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: year or finished as a top twenty five fantasy receiver

157
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: in any week this season. This is also not a

158
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: good matchup for a breakout game for him. Patrick Sir

159
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Patrick Sirtan is waiting right across from you. He is

160
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: shut down three straight. Number one outside wide receivers. DK

161
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: Metcalf had three catches for less than thirty yards. George

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Pickens had two catches for less than thirty yards. Mike

163
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: Evans had two catches for less than twenty yards against

164
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: mister Patrick Cirtan, who will be shadowing Wilson in this game.

165
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I actually think your B grade is kind of generous

166
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: for Garrett Wilson, and I love Garrett Wilson.

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that one's almost on principle, right, but I

168
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: mean somewhat. You know, you could say principal the other

169
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: one and downgrade him even more than that, Ellenlizzard. I'm

170
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: gonna give him a C wide receiver eighteen in Fantasy

171
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: so far, seventeen percent target share, one point eight yards

172
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: per route run. Decent matchup for him here against Riley

173
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: Moss and Rogers, of course, maybe looking his way more

174
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: with Patrick Sirtan on the other side of the field.

175
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: Got to keep Mike Williams on the bench, but don't

176
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: cut him quite yet. We just need proof of life

177
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: before we can start him again. But I wouldn't be

178
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: starting him this week and then Tyler Conklin. I'vevacillated between

179
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: an A and a B here, I'm gonna I'm gonna

180
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: go with a B. But I'm super high on Gronklin

181
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: as we call him this week. He had the ninety

182
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: three receiving yards last week. Now ranks as the number

183
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: one tight end in the NFL in route participation, which

184
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: portends well for future fantasy output. Avoiding Patrick Sirtan is

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: going to lead to more looks for Conklin, I think

186
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: from Rogers. Keep in mind this Bucks tight end Kate

187
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: Outon had a twenty four percent target share last week

188
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: against the Broncos, easily the highest of the season because

189
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: the bronc the Buccaneers were avoiding Sir Tan and the

190
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: other thing. Broncos will be without their starting middle linebacker

191
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: Alex Singleton, which I think could also help Conklin in

192
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: this matchup.

193
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him a bee wow. And so

194
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: many people need help at tight end. Yes, Trey McBride

195
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: out all the problems the tight end position has had.

196
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: That is some that's some good, good advice on Conklin.

197
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rams taking on the Bears here,

198
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot to not like. I do like Kyron Williams.

199
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: On the Rams side, the way to beat the Bears

200
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: is on the ground, as Jonathan Taylor proved last week,

201
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: Chicago giving up four point six yards per carry. They

202
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: rank ninth worst in yards before contact at one point

203
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: eight yards. Williams is getting a whopping eighty seven percent

204
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: of the running back snaps from Los Angeles, seventy nine

205
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: percent of the carries, and seventy percent of the routes

206
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: run amongst running backs. So just the heavy usage here

207
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: and the way to beat the Bears is on the ground.

208
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: A grade for Kyron Williams. Let's go to the passing game,

209
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot to like. My only letter

210
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: grade is on Colby Parkinson. On paper, the Bears look

211
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: great against tight ends, but they've not played anybody better

212
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: than Dalton Schultz, who they held to twenty one yards.

213
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Parkinson averaging a healthy thirty one routes per game but

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: still only seeing four targets per game and only at

215
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: a depth of four point eight yards. I've got a

216
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: desperation C grade in a brutal week for tight ends.

217
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: For Colby Parkinson, you can give him a D grade.

218
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: That's fine, I really can't because there is no such

219
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: thing as a D grade on this show. Let's go

220
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: to the rest of the passing offense here, DeMarcus Robinson.

221
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: He's the de facto number one wide receiver for the Rams,

222
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: which normally would be good, but against Chicago that means

223
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: you get Jalen Johnson, and that's bad. He's awesome. Currently

224
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Pro Football focuses eleventh ranked cornerback, allowing per game averages

225
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: of just two catches, twenty five yards and no touchdowns.

226
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Robinson dominating the routes run. He leads the team in

227
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: targets as well. But just the tough matchup here. I've

228
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: got Robinson on the bench, I've got two two out

229
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: Well and Tyler Johnson on the bench as well. Now,

230
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: last week, two weeks ago, it was Tyler Johnson over

231
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: two to at Well. Last week it was two to

232
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: at Well over Tyler Johnson in terms of targets, routes, run,

233
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: and receptions. I don't they could flip flop back Atwell

234
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: looked looked like he fit in the offense a little

235
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: bit better last week either way, kind of a neutral

236
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: matchup against Tyreek Stevenson He's a good, not great cornerback.

237
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: He's giving up a fifty nine percent catch rate, which

238
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: is above average. He's given up one touchdown so far.

239
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: But to me, I just don't trust this passing offense.

240
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: And I've got both Atwell and Johnson on the bench.

241
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: Why isn't two two Atwell's number twenty two?

242
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Two to two? Yeah, great question.

243
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: He's number five. What is he doing?

244
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: Is is twenty two of valid wide receiver number?

245
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do that. I think that's Rashid Shaheed's number.

246
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: That's they got to make that change. That's a great question.

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: It's a great question. Lastly, Matthew Stafford on the bench.

248
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Bear's pass defense very good. They ranked top ten in

249
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: completions allowed, yards allowed, touchdowns allowed. Obviously, Pukinuku is out,

250
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Cooper cups out, tricky matchups for the wide outs. I

251
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: just I can't get behind Matthew Stafford. Your offensive line problems,

252
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: et cetera. Let's go to the Bear side. A lot

253
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: of moving parts here. I'm optimistic about the Bears in

254
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: this game. Rams defense all beat up. DJ Moore and

255
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: Rome Adunza have a nice opportunity. The Rams secondary has

256
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: four guys on injured reserve, so I particularly like well.

257
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: I like both cornerback to Davius White has allowed a

258
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: league worst four touchdowns in his coverage already with an

259
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: approaching perfect passer rating against him, but one hundred and

260
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: forty seven. The other cornerback is Kobe Durant, who ranks

261
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: as cornerback eighty six by Pro Football Focus. A Donsay

262
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: sparked to life last week with a big game eleven targets,

263
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: six catches, one hundred and twelve yards. I like both

264
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: A Dunza and DJ Moore at B level grades in

265
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: this game. Now for that to happen, I need Caleb

266
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Williams to come around a little bit. If it's not

267
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: too much trouble, he might take a chance on me quarterback,

268
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you about him in just a couple

269
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: of minutes. Cole Kamett, after two weeks of splitting duty

270
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: with Gerald Everett, Camet got almost all the work last week,

271
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: and he rewarded the Bear confidence in him with a

272
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: very big game. Comet's got a nice opportunity against Los Angeles.

273
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: They've allowed forty or more yards to an opposing tight

274
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: end in every game, including a backup Eric Saubert last week,

275
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: so Cole kamet back on the radar. He is a

276
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: C grade in this game. Keenan Allen, they're hoping he's

277
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to play. He's going to come

278
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: into Sunday's game questionable. He runs mostly from the slot,

279
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: where he's got a neutral matchup against cornerback Quinton Lake,

280
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: who's allowing a sixty nine percent catch rate, has not

281
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: given up a touchdown yet this year. Hopefully Keenan Allen

282
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: can come back here and I kind of like him.

283
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is dead to us.

284
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: M hmm.

285
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: He is last in rushing yards over expectation at negative

286
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: two point four yards. That means he's leaving two and

287
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: a half yards on the table every time he gets

288
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: the ball.

289
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Well, when you go backwards ten yards on a fourth

290
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 2: and goal rush, it's not that's not not a hell thing.

291
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: His first down run rate is two percent, his yards

292
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: after contact dead last amongst starters. DeAndre Sift's avoided tackle

293
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: rate is second to last among starters, and importantly, he

294
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: got pulled from the game at the end of last

295
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: week's game for Rochan Johnson, a favorite of a favorite

296
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: of thorn Eystrums.

297
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have to change DeAndre Swift's last name.

298
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: That could be the case. Taylor runs like Taylor Rochon Johnson,

299
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a dart throw. If you're buying into

300
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: the notion and some of the media reports out of

301
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Chicago that Rochan Johnson's going to be the starter this week,

302
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: that they're going to bench DeAndre Swift and his three year,

303
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar contract, then Rochan Johnson hopefully can get

304
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: a little something done here. The Bears offensive line has

305
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: not been good, but the Rams defense has been bad,

306
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing runners. All

307
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: three lead backs LA has faced have topped seventy seven

308
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: rushing yards, and the Rams rank thirty first in one

309
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: defense success rate. LA ranks thirty first in yards after

310
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: contact allowed. There's a lot to like about the North

311
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: South power running of Roshan Johnson, potentially in this game.

312
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: How would you feel about a Roshan Johnson breakout.

313
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: I'd feel good, especially with all the injuries we have

314
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: this week.

315
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take it. Let's get the Bears a running

316
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: game again too. Wouldn't that be nice? It's been a while,

317
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: been a while we would take that. Yeah, when we

318
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: come back, take a chance on me. We've already alluded

319
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: to some of the players we're going to refer to here.

320
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Stay tuned

321
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to fight out who the other seven are when we

322
00:15:35,960 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Take a chance on me.

323
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Many of

324
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: these guys available on the waiver wire right now. Let's

325
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: find out who they are. Beginning with Matt Harrison, you got, I.

326
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: Got Trevor Lawrence. The last time Lawrence faced this Texans team,

327
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: tally three hundred and sixty four yards, a touchdown through

328
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: the air, and one on the ground. And I found

329
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: out some interesting stuff about the Texans defense. In three games,

330
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: they have allowed six touchdown passes and they've all come

331
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: in situations where a linebacker or a safety has been

332
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: in coverage. In Week one against the Dolphins, Trevor Lawrence

333
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: went after linebackers in safeties eleven times, including his only

334
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: passing score in the game. In Week two the Browns,

335
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: he targeted non corner sixteen times. In Week three against

336
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: the Bills, it was twenty three times, and Bill's safety

337
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: Cam Lewis was burned for nine catches in ninety nine yards.

338
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: So the Jags are putting in the effort to create

339
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: the mismatches nine and those mismatches are in their favor

340
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: when the Texans play in zone. So if Lawrence attacks

341
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: the linebackers and safeties in zone coverage, I think he's

342
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: gonna have a good day.

343
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Let's go to thorn Eistrom. Your

344
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: take a chance at me quarterback justin fields like it

345
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: at the Colts starting him in a bunch of leagues.

346
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: Nineteen point four fantasy points last week, and I think

347
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: more big games are coming here. Despite the of course

348
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: modest one hundred and seventy two passing yards per game

349
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: that he's putting up so far, Fields his top five

350
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: among quarterbacks in design, run attempt share, and scramble rate.

351
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: He's averaging right now eight point three rushing attempts per game.

352
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 3: That that's a huge fantasy floor for him. In addition,

353
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: in this coming matchup, the Colts have allowed the second

354
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 3: most rushing yards per game. There rushing defense stinks, and

355
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: their pass defense is allowing thirty four more passing yards

356
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: to opposing quarterbacks than the average opponent. I like Field

357
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: a lot this week as a start.

358
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: If only somebody had told us in the preseason that

359
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields would get and hold the job. Matt Harrison, Yeah.

360
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 2: I did say that a few times.

361
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: You did.

362
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is bad at quarterbacks, so and Justin Fields

363
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: is not as bad.

364
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: The Bears fans Speaking of Bears fans, who I you know?

365
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: Right now? There's a lot of consternation at Chicago about

366
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback? Did they pick? Should they have picked Jalen

367
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels? Should should they have kept Justin Fields? There's

368
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: a lot of questions going on.

369
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: Could they have just traded out?

370
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: They could have traded out, and they've just done it

371
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: again right to who knows a lot of options here,

372
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: But Caleb Williams might take a chance to be quarterback

373
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: this week because it's the Rams. Now. He's coming off

374
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a three hundred yarder with two touchdowns. The Rams have,

375
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: as I mentioned last segment, four members of their secondary

376
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: are on injured reserve. They've allowed the second most passing touchdowns,

377
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: including back to back three touchdown games. They've allowed the

378
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: fifth most passing yards. And even though he's not running

379
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot now, nearly as much as I wanted Kayla

380
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Williams to run. The Rams have allowed the fifth most

381
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: rushing yards to quarterback. Let's go to the running back position, Matt.

382
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: I've got Tony Pollard. A backfield we weren't so sure

383
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: about at the beginning of the year is pretty clear now.

384
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: Pollard is getting about two thirds of the snaps, Spears

385
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: is getting the other third, and lead backs against the

386
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins have all had good days so far. Travis etn

387
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: fifty nine total yards and a score, and he almost

388
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: had a second score which he did not get into

389
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: the end zone in and fumbled. In week one. James

390
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: Cook did have two scores though, and ninety seven total yards.

391
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: And oh by the way, Zach sharbonet last week he

392
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: had two scores one hundred and seven total yards. So

393
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: two scorers guaranteed for Tony Pollard this week.

394
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: Now, it would be nice. He has got tons of usage.

395
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: It's not really We thought it might be like evenly

396
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: split between Pollard and Tase Sharp. Not close right now,

397
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: You take a chance with me running back Thorn Eistro.

398
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 3: Going with Brailan Allen here host The Jets are hosting

399
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: the Broncos last week Allen had one more rushing yard

400
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: than Brees Hall on five fewer carries in that run

401
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: heavy game script, and the blowout went over the Patriots.

402
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Last Thursday, Allan threw his first three games in the

403
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: NFL one hundred and forty one yards from scrimmage and

404
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, and he scored at least nine point eight

405
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: PPR point fantasy points in each of the last two games.

406
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: This is, of course, a very decent matchup against a

407
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: mediocre run defense. Broncos are seventh worst in the NFL

408
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: in miss tackle rate. Jets also likely to open up

409
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 3: a double digit second half lead that'll flip the game

410
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: script to Brailan Allen touches. He's got to be in

411
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: fantasy lineups this week as a flex if nothing else.

412
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: Right after the draft, you and I talked about how

413
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: much you like Braylan Allen and disliked the landing spot

414
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: that he found himself in behind Breeze Hall, one of

415
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: the best runners in league. Off the top of your head,

416
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: how many teams would Braylan Allen start on right now?

417
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: Are we talking about in a vacuum? Were we talk

418
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: about this week when everyone's in that right Definitely be

419
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: Lord than half the NFL this Yeah, I mean eight

420
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: to ten probably at least.

421
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like half the league. I think

422
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, we're getting close. He's really good. You know,

423
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: else is pretty good. Bucky Irving pretty aren't good going

424
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: up against Philadelphia this week. Rashod White, by the way,

425
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: not good so far. Two point one yards per carry.

426
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: That's horrible, bottom five in rushing yards over expectation at

427
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: negative one point five. Rashod White and his struggles are

428
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: even more obvious when Bucky Irving is crushing with six

429
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry in the same offense. Last week,

430
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving broke nine tackles nine tackles nine on the season,

431
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: He's got an avoided tackle rate of thirty two percent.

432
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: So slippery, so slippery, so slippery, and especially for kind

433
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: of a north south runner, where you'd think you could

434
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: get better angles on him, but it doesn't work out

435
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: that way. Meanwhile, Rashot White's broken tackle rate twelve percent.

436
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: That's it. I just he's the better runner. The switch

437
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: is coming. At some point. Rashad White is going to

438
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: turn into third down past catching guy, and it could

439
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: be this week against an Eagle's defense. That ranks twenty

440
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: eighth in yards allowed at one hundred and twenty two

441
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, their twelfth in run defense success rate,

442
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: their twentieth and rushing yards after contact, and Bucky Irving

443
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: brings the contact baby, so I like him this week.

444
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: Love it. Let's go to our receivers, Matt.

445
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: I've got Jahan Dotson because no one in Philly is healthy,

446
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: so it's Dotson's time to shine. AJ Brown isn't practiced

447
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: in two weeks, DeVonta Smith is out with a concussion.

448
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Next man up is newcomer Dotson, who's been on the

449
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: field for eighty one percent of the snaps in week two,

450
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: eighty seven percent of the snaps in Week three. Andy

451
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: gets Jamel Dean this week, who's allowed to pass the

452
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: rating of one to oh three that's in his coverage

453
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: this year.

454
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to thorneiserm your receiver.

455
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: I'm going with Jackson, Smith and jigbut at the Lions

456
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: in this game, I think a big bounce back is

457
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: coming for JSN after a quiet Week three, despite the

458
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: Week three passing script going away from him, he led

459
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: all Seahawk receivers in both snaps and routes in that game.

460
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna get peppered with safe targets in

461
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: this game and what is an expected shootout on Detroit's

462
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 3: fast track. Keep in mind, the lines have allowed the

463
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: fourth most yards to opposing slots this year on the

464
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 3: second most targets, so the slots are getting a lot

465
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 3: of targets. And don't forget JSN was pepper with sixteen

466
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: targets for twelve catch in one hundred and seventeen yards

467
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: as recently as Week two.

468
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: So I think a big game is coming for JSN here.

469
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: I like it. I've got Michael Wilson against the Commanders

470
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: because I want any carbon based life form who is

471
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: starting against the Commanders. Yeah, they've allowed nine wide receiver

472
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: touchdowns in three games. Think about that. How bad is

473
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: nine wide receiver touchdowns in three games. That's more than

474
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: eleven NFL teams combined. They've also allowed the third most

475
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: receiving yards to opposing touchdowns. Michael Wilson's gonna line up

476
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: most often against Washington cornerback Noah igbin A Ganay. You

477
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: made that name nice right as all focus is ninety

478
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: nine ranked cornerback. So I like Michael Wilson in this game.

479
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: Charge by the way, I've got to Take a Chance

498
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: the app again, Fanball Winners.

499
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Matt Yeah, Jacksonville taking on Houston. You already told us

500
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: how you feel about Trevor Lawrence, So if you like him,

501
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: then some of the receivers have to be in play here,

502
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: and I gotta believe Brian Thomas is your favorite of

503
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: the group.

504
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mentioned before that attacking zone coverage was key

505
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: for the Jags. The Jags have played against or sorry,

506
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: the Texans have played in zone coverage for defense sixty

507
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: seven percent of the time this year. Brian Thomas Junior,

508
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: by the way, has not caught a single ball in

509
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: man coverage this year. All of his all of his

510
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: receptions have all been in zone. Christian Kirk is the

511
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: only guy that Trevor Lawrence looks for in man coverage. Okay,

512
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: so that being said, this is it. Yeah, Thomas, I'm

513
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: going to give him a C grade. I'm leaving Kirk

514
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: on the bench. The Texans are going to stay close

515
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: to their tendency. It should be more of a Thomas

516
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: than a Kirk game. It is worth noting that Evan

517
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Ingram's still out with a hamstring injury. It's possible that

518
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby is contractually obligated to only do stuff in

519
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: Week one because Travis etn is back as the bell

520
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: cow whoa. He out snapped Bigsby forty nine to seven

521
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: last week, and even Deernest Johnson got more time in

522
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: mop up duty. The Texans did allow Jonathan Taylor to

523
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: score in Week one and let Aaron Jones go off

524
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty eight total yards and a

525
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: receiving touchdown last week. The Bears horrible stable of runners

526
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: were the only team that couldn't get anything going on

527
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 2: the ground. Etn gets a B grade on sheer volume

528
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: in a decent matchup. On the other side, the Texans

529
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: running back Dujure looks like Cam and it looks like

530
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Cam Akers, who saw eighty two percent

531
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: of the carries for the Texans last week. With both

532
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: Mixon and Pierce out. All the Texans really said about

533
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: Mixon was that he was present at practice on Friday's good.

534
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: That's not good at all. He didn't go Wednesday or Thursday.

535
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he goes, which means it's Cam Akers again.

536
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: He only had twenty nine yards on ten touches last week,

537
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: but he did score through the air. The Jags haven't

538
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: allowed to run her to top sixty four yards on

539
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: the ground this year, but they have allowed four touchdowns

540
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: to the position and a bunch of receiving yards to

541
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: posing back acres is worth a sea start if Mixing

542
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: is out. If mix and Miraculous miraculously returns, he gets

543
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: the C instead. Speaking of c's, it's C J. Stroud.

544
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen just torched the Jags for two sixty three

545
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: and four. That was almost all in the first half

546
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: of that game, to a put up three thirty eight

547
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 2: and a score. Stroud is an A grade here in

548
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: a big bounce back week. Nico Collins also getting an A.

549
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: So is Stefan Diggs. Yeah, who's primarily been running from

550
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: the slot this year, which puts him in the best

551
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: matchup against Jerry and Jones. But it doesn't even matter.

552
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: The three Jaguars corners with more than fifty coverage snaps

553
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: have allowed pass the ratings of one O eight, one

554
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: thirteen and one thirty three. Well, that's not good at all.

555
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 2: Tank Dell, he's out with a rib injury. Oh my god.

556
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: It's a tank versus tank game. Tanks for it never happens. Well,

557
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: actually it happens twice a year.

558
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want to play either of them. Uh.

559
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: Tank Dell out and Dalton Schultz top mark this year

560
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: three catches for sixteen yards and I think we need

561
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: to see some explosive output before we throw him in

562
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: your lineup.

563
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Saints taking on the Falcons Store and

564
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: Chris Alave on Friday suffered a hamstring injury. I don't

565
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: like Friday injuries. That always worries me. The short time

566
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: table to return. Don't know what his status is gonna be.

567
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to watch that one very closely going

568
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: up to Sunday.

569
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he plays, I'm gonna give him a be

570
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: But that's again something that you have to monitor very closely.

571
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: He's being reported as day to day officially questionable for Sunday.

572
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: Of course, not the best news forty eight hours before kickoff,

573
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: but Olave does have eighty plus receiving guard get each

574
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: of the last two weeks. The Falcons pass defense. Meanwhile,

575
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: on the other side, it's been good so far. Anticipate

576
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: a close game script would lead to a bunch of

577
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: targets for a Lave if he's able to play, and

578
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: the Falcons have allowed the ninth most PPR points to

579
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: opposing perimeter wide receivers this season. Derek Carr with some

580
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: of this stuff up in the air, giving him a

581
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: c crash back down to earth with only one hundred

582
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: and forty two passing yards and five point six yards

583
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: per attempt against the Eagles last week. In that game,

584
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: the reason why he came back to earth he was

585
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: pressured at the fifth highest rate in the NFL. Last week,

586
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: Philly provided the recipe to the rest of the NFL

587
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: on how you defend this Saints team. Carr is not

588
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: going to face as much pressure this week against the Falcons. However,

589
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 3: The Saints love to use that play action game to

590
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: get their easy looks, and the Falcons they have seen

591
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: more play action than any defense in the NFL this season,

592
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: and they've allowed the eighth fewest yards per attempt on

593
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: play action attempts. For all those reasons, I'm keeping Car

594
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 3: out a sea. Elvin Kamara. He's listed with two injury

595
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: Everyone listed with injuries this week, ribs and a hit

596
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 3: pointer listed as questionable. If Kamara plays, we expect him

597
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: to will. I'm giving him an a in this game.

598
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: They have to give him a billion touches year, especially

599
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: in lieu of the Olave injury. Kamara RB one and

600
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: Fantasy twenty seven point two Fantasy points per game number

601
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: eight in rush here number two in target share as

602
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: a receiver. The Falcons their defense surrendering more than one

603
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty rushing yards per game, and the Falcons

604
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: have a poor front seven that projects poorly against that

605
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: wide zone system that the Saints like to use. So

606
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: expect to see Kamara out on that edge and ripping

607
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: off gashing yards there. Rashid shahied I'm going I upgraded

608
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: him to a bee when we got the old Lave

609
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: news here. Of course, he went zero for five on

610
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: targets last week. But despite that, Rashid Shaheed our boy,

611
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: still wide receiver twenty seven and fantasy points per game.

612
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: Solid match up here to get back on track. Falcons

613
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 3: run the sixth highest rate of single high in the

614
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: entire NFL. Of course, Shaheed is better against single high.

615
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: You get the pre delineated one on one looks that

616
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: he feasts on. You're gonna need that bomb here to

617
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: return the fantasy value. But he's going to get those looks,

618
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: in particular if Chris Olave is not playing, so I'm

619
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 3: gonna give him a bee. Taysom Hill, stop me if

620
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: you've heard this one before. Injury surrounding that, but Hill's

621
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: going to be back after he missed last week with

622
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: a chest injury. We'll assuredly see more looks if indeed

623
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: Chris o'lave is out in this game. For that reason,

624
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: I gave him a sea. I wouldn't have game him

625
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: or I wouldn't gamble on him if Olave was indeed playing.

626
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 3: But in the games where Taysom Hill has been healthy

627
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 3: averaging five touches, twenty seven and a half total yards,

628
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: well healthy flipping over to the falcon side, Kirk Cousin's

629
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: gonna give him a see in this game. QB twenty

630
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: seven and fantasy points per game. Not a great week

631
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: for a statistical bonanza there. Saints have a great passing

632
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: defensive allowed only one passing touchdown this year. Bjon Robinson

633
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: is a must start, of course, Tyler Lger. I would

634
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: keep him on the bench in this matchup. Drake London

635
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: another must start. He's returned to himself after the quiet

636
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: week one that he had in Cousins' debut under speed

637
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: wide receiver one there of course Darnell Mooney.

638
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: I think Mooney's looked really good. He has looked really.

639
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: Good and he might be the wide receiver two there,

640
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: the pass catcher number two over Pitts.

641
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: Even there, I'm gonna give him a see.

642
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: He has, like you know that being what it is,

643
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: twenty three percent target share and the Saints have given

644
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: up the fifth most receiving yards per game. Kyle Pitt's

645
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: gonna give him a see. This might be the last

646
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 3: week where I give him a seed. He only hit

647
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: Church get this seven point four percent first read share.

648
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: They're not even looking at them. And even if there's

649
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: a tertiary option there, Cousins isn't getting down to him

650
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: on the progression chart there, and Pits start to lose

651
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: snaps last week. In addition, this is though a solid

652
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: matchup if you can stomach it. The Saints have allowed

653
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: the fourth most receptions and third most receiving yards to

654
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: opposing tight ends this year, so we're gonna give Pitts

655
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: a tentative seat.

656
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown taken away from him last week,

657
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: which he deserved. He that, so give him credit for that.

658
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: But he took advantage of a really struggling Chiefs defense

659
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: last week. This is another opportunity for Pits. But man,

660
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: it's never easy with Kyle Pitts. Now, you know what

661

Speaker 1: When we return a big block of matchups on Fantasy

675
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, Paul Jarchi and Matt Harrison throw an ice

676
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: room with you. Vikings go to Green Bay. Justin Jefferson

677
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: obviously a great every week. But let me note this.

678
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: JayR Alexander may not play the superstar cornerback. He's got

679
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: quad and groin injuries and enough fear injuries, and Andy's

680
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: scared he's wetting them at the prospect of facing Justin Jefferson.

681
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

682
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Note that depth cornerback Carrington Valentine, also not expected to go.

683
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson might be the best play of the week.

684
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: If this thing pans out without those two players.

685
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: Sounds like a fantasy ardvark.

686
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: You know what it does, sound like a fantasy ardvark

687
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: right there, Yeah, fantasy ardvark on Justin Jefferson. Let's stay

688
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: with the passing game. Sam Donald leads the NFL in

689
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. It feels weird to say, at multiple touchdowns

690
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: in every game. We want our fantasy passers to be

691
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: able to deliver downfield, and that's what Sam Donald is doing.

692
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: In total opposition to everything we ever saw about Sam

693
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: Donald before he got to Minnesota, he actually leads the

694
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: NFL in completion percentage on passes over fifteen yards. Green

695
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Bay's pass defense looks suspect, and obviously if jy R.

696
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: Alexander doesn't go, or if he's playing in a limited fashion,

697
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: it looks even better for him. Then. Even though green

698
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: Bay faced almost non functional passers and Will Levis and

699
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, they still rank twenty fourth in passing yards

700
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: allowed and twenty fourth in pass touchdowns allowed, and twenty

701
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: second in opposer passer rating. Sam Darnold's a B right now,

702
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: and it moves up to an A if JayR Alexander

703
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: can't go. This also brings into play Jordan Addison, who's

704
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: completely off the injury report as a Friday. He's gonna

705
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: start in this game, and I think Jalen Naylor is

706
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: also potentially startable. He has been so good. I think

707
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a lot of eleven personnel to get Addison, Naylor,

708
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: and Jefferson on the field at the same time. It'll

709
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: also press Eric Stokes into x extra coverage and he

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: was awful last year and he doesn't look any different

711
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: this year. Just gave up a touchdown to the undead

712
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: corpse of DeAndre Hopkins last week. Addison and Naylor come

713
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: in with C grades. Aaron Jones it's a revenge game,

714
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: of course, when he comes up against a run defense

715
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: that ranks twenty fourth in yards per carry allowed and

716
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: the other metrics all look roughly middle of the pack

717
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. Two of three opposing teams

718
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: have run for over one hundred yards against Green Bay.

719
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna flirt with the one hundred yard

720
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: mark here himself and I've got an A grade on

721
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Let's go over to the Packers. If it's

722
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: a Molik Willis start, then the only starting grade I

723
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: can give you is Josh Jacobs. If it's a Jordan

724
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: Love start, I can only get you to a SEA

725
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: on Jordan Love because I'm worried that his knee will

726
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: not be one hundred percent. It'll take away some of

727
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: his mobility. He's going to be a stationary figure for

728
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: Brian Flores to attack. Minnesota is the only team over

729
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: the last twenty years to have five or more sacks

730
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: in each of the first three games. Wow, that's a stat.

731
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: That's a stat right there. This defense is absolutely swarming.

732
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: And if Love doesn't have some of the mobility that

733
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: he uses to extend plays, I'd be worried about him here.

734
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: If Love does go, I can get you to C

735
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: grades on Jayden Reid as a run pass combo Romeo Dobbs.

736
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: Maybe they've been the only two Green Bay receivers who

737
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: are getting consistent playing time and routes. I don't see

738
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: a lot of upside for these guys, and that's why

739
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 1: I'm only giving C grades here. And if Reid gets

740
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: about half of the slot use, which he normally does.

741
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: It's not a great situation because Minnesota does a fantastic

742
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: job against slot receivers in general, Dobbs is going to

743
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: have better options against the outside cornerbacks Stefan Gilmour and

744
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: Shack Griffin, who are giving up a seventy one percent

745
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: catch rate. But again, if it's Malik Willis, then the

746
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: whole passing game is on the bench, and that leaves

747
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: us with Josh Jacobs tough matchup against an elite run defense.

748
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota ranks number one in run defense by Pro Football Focus.

749
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: They're number seven in tackling, their number five in run

750
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: defense success rate. They're number three in yards per carry

751
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: allowed at just three point six. Two of three opposing

752
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: teams against Minnesota have failed to top forty five rushing

753
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: yards as a team. It's that bad. With Jordan Love

754
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: at the helm, Minnesota should provide a somewhat looser box,

755
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: which can help Jacobs reverse declining yards per carry in

756
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: every game, which has been the case so far. And

757
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: don't start, but let's just let's just note Emmanuel Wilson

758
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: looks pretty darn good. Keep your eye on that cat.

759
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: I liked I like what I've seen so far.

760
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian had him as take a chance on me

761
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: last week and he.

762
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: Scored pretty good.

763
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

764
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: Did he score the time you.

765
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: Scored a touchdown?

766
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: Scott?

767
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 2: Not three times? Not like you did?

768
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh? Why? Thanks?

769
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: Oh it?

770
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: Juwan Jenny Nings last week.

771
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Take a Chance on Me Hall of

772
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: Fame Hall charch In. Thank you very John Tuvy.

773
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: John Tuvy's our raining chasing Yeah, he's our raigning champion

774
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: with a four touchdown take a chance on Me performance

775
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: about ten years ago, and we'll never forget it. Philadelphia

776
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

777
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: Matt Yeah. Saquon Barkley is an A grade. He's on

778
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 2: the field for eighty five percent of his team snaps

779
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: his cow bell rings the loudest. Jalen Hurts gets an

780
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: A grade too, even with all of his wide receivers

781
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: dinged up. Hurts faces the Bucks that have allowed one

782
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: hundred and forty rushing yards and three scores on the

783
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: ground two opposing quarterbacks in the first three weeks. That's

784
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 2: second most in yards in the most touchdowns. Dallas Goddard

785
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: should be heavily involved again. He had ten catches and

786
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy yards last week. Probably could have

787
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: scored on a long catch and run, but I think

788
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: he got tired the last ten yards. The Bucks have

789
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: done a good job keeping the tight end off the

790
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 2: board so far. Zach Ertz and Sam Laporta didn't do much,

791
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: but they won't receive the volume that Goddard will see

792
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: in this game. So Goddard gets a B. Johan Dotson

793
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: was might take a chance on me wide receiver I

794
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: mentioned aj Brown and DeVonta Smith, both unlikely to go.

795
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: Paris Campbell, by the way, will serve as wide receiver

796
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: two in a juicy matchup against the Bucks. Campbell manned

797
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: the slot last week where Britton Covey got hurt and

798
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: the Bucks secondary allowed eleven catches for one hundred and

799
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: nineteen yards to Detroit slot wide receiver a mon Ross

800
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 2: Saint Brown last week. Now, Paris Campbell's not a mon

801
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: Ross Saint Brown. But yeah, you know the other slot

802
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: receiver on the other side, Chris Godwin. He gets an A.

803
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: He's seen thirty three percent of his team's targets so

804
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: far this season. He's caught every ball thrown his way

805
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: but three, and he scored a touchdown in each of

806
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: his first three weeks, and from the slot he gets

807
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: a lot of Avante Maddox, who gave up a touchdown

808
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: in Week one to a similarly talented slot receiver, Jaden Reid,

809
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: who had four catches for one hundred and thirty eight

810
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: yards in that one. Mike Evans dealing with a knee injury.

811
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: He's been limited Wednesday and Thursday. He might not go

812
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 2: in this one. If he does, he deserves at least

813
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: a C grade. But Jalen McMillan does too. It's been free.

814
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: Darius Sleigh rides all over town that year as Slaves,

815
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: given up a passer rating of one forty one in

816
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: his coverage.

817
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Wow, I do it's bad, and I think it was

818
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: that bad.

819
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: It's real bad.

820
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: We used to have a slay bells on our button barble.

821
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, not anymore. We don't anymore. It's we're not very

822
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: Christmasy over here. Baker Mayfield gets a solid B in

823
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: all of this. Kirk Cousins and Jordan Love cobbled together

824
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: some decent days against this defense. In twelve of the

825
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: last twenty quarterbacks who faced the Eagles d if thrown

826
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 2: for multiple touchdown passes lastly Rashadway and Bucky Irving. Obviously,

827
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: Irving was charged to take a chance on me running back.

828
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: I will note that he did sit out Thursday's practice

829
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: with a hamstring injury, but he did return to practice

830
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: on Friday. We think he'll be good to go. The

831
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 2: snapshare still favors White two to one, but as Charge mentioned,

832
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: the touch totals tell a different story. What I will

833
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: mention in Tampa's most dominant win, White touched the ball

834
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: twenty one times and he's definitely been more involved in

835
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: the passing game than Bucky. But it's just a C

836
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: grade because I don't trust the workload thor.

837
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: We got to be quick on this one. But and

838
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe that's all we have to do, because the Cleveland

839
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Browns are areck right now. They're going to be missing

840
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: three offensive linemen in this game against the Raider, sure.

841
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: Are Yeah, you got to keep Deshaun Watson on the bench,

842
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: and this one despite it being a decent matchup here

843
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 3: against that Colts defense, But keep him on the bench.

844
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 3: Jerome Ford, Listen, it's questionable here. He did return to

845
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: practice in limited capacity on Thursday. He has that knee issue.

846
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: If he plays. I'm giving him a seat if he doesn't,

847
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 3: because Pierre Strong has already ruled up for this game

848
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 3: with the hamstring. Deontay Foreman, I would give the Sea too,

849
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: so we'll see how that goes. Amari Cooper, I'm gonna

850
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: give him a b. The opportunities finally turned into production

851
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 3: last week. Seven catches for eighty six yards, two touchdowns

852
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: against the Giants on twelve targets, and the Raiders have

853
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 3: allowed the fourth most Fantasy points per game. Two wide

854
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: receivers over expectation have to temper expectation because of the

855
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 3: quarterback play. But the matchup is there, and in particular

856
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: because David and Joke who's not going to play. So

857
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 3: when the balls in the air, it is going to

858
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 3: Cooper going to the Raiders side. Gardner Minshew is a

859
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: bench and his leash is not long. Zamir White. I

860
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 3: would also keep Zamir White on the bench in this week.

861
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: Disappointment.

862
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: Only played twenty two percent of snaps last week. Yeah

863
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: ten ten carries for thirty four yards and the loss

864
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 3: of the Panthers. He needs positive game scripts to get

865
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: production whatsoever. Because he's the early down guy. The passing

866
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: scripts aren't going to work for him. DeVante Adams ruled

867
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 3: out he had the hamstring injury. He's not playing in

868
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 3: this game, which makes brock Bauers really the only guy

869
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: that you want to start in this Jim.

870
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: Kobe Myers too.

871
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: I guess with with Adams being out, you could put Myers.

872
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: As a sort of a desperation.

873
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 3: See brock Bauers, he is the mus star fifteen catches

874
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 3: last two game and is going to get a ludicrous

875
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: amount of targets in this game.

876
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on all of that. You know,

877
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: we like to peacock the things we got right. This

878
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: is us eating pro right here on Zamir White, and

879
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Matt and I. We spent the preseason

880
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: talking of Zamir White as somebody who was gonna get

881
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: a ton of carries in this offense. We thought that

882
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Zamir White was what we saw in December was productivity.

883
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was running, you know, twenty times

884
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: a game for one hundred and ten total yards a game.

885
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: Are like, okay, I extrapolate that over sixteen weeks he

886
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: was a He was one of those guys that I

887
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: targeted and might do the opposite drafts in round seven,

888
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: Zamir White. I'm contemplating dropping him all together. Yeah, based

889
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: on that's getting closer White we've seen.

890
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 2: I think this week's gonna be the week. I'm still believing.

891
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 2: I still believe there's so many raiders out it's gonna

892
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 2: be this week.

893
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: When Antonio Pierce said that he's he's the people that

894
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: made business decisions on the field, we're gonna get bench.

895
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought of was Zamir White. Yeah,

896
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll find out. What's what Hey. Paid

Speaker 1: thor Ku. Yeah, Rock Chalk at Rock chalk, babe. This

907
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: is a game we call three tough questions.

908
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: Tough question number one, what's.

909
00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: The appropriate level of concern over Patrick Mahomes? Is it none?

910
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: Is it some? Or is it a bowel loosening level

911
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: of existential dread? We begin with Matt Harrison.

912
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: I was confused when I saw this question. It was

913
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: three confusing questions. I'm trying to come up with. Wide

914
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 2: be concerned. I know he hasn't thrown for three hundred

915
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: yards yet, but he has had at least two hundred

916
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 2: and ninety one yards or multiple scores in every game,

917
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: and he played three good defenses so far in Baltimore, Sincy,

918
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: and Atlanta. The schedule isn't easy, but the matchups he

919
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: has left, He's got the Saints two at the Raiders,

920
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: the Bucks, the Panthers, the Texans that are suddenly terrible

921
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: at defense. He's not going to break fantasy. He won't

922
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: be the number one scoring quarterback, but he's gonna get

923
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: you reliable fantasy points every week. And nobody was drafting

924
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: him like he was going to break fantasy this year.

925
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: So I'm not concerned at all.

926
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: Zero concern for you, all right, Thorp, what's the appropriate

927
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: level of concern over Patrick Mahomes. None, some or blowed

928
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: that was well sept by Matt.

929
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 3: You know, as long as he was being viewed as

930
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 3: a sort of neighborhood to tier two type fantasy quarterback.

931
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: In that context, I don't have any about him. There

932
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: was always going to be some sort of acclamation process

933
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 3: with adding Xavier Worth the end of the offense, and

934
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 3: then of course the unexpected loss of Hollywood Brown while

935
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 3: you were trying to acclimate him in. If the expectations

936
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: were realistic, you're not disappointed right now. You're only disappointed

937
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: if the expectations weren't.

938
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: I think most people did not see him as a

939
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: quarterback two. I don't think he was conviewed as a

940
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: second tier quarterback. He went off the board his quarterback

941
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 1: five in fantasy drafts. He was viewed as an extremely safe,

942
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: every week starter, but the data does not back that up. Now,

943
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's part of the problem. He's tight end twenty

944
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: seven right now. It's been bad behind Nick Vannette and

945
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: Johnny Munt. What are we even talking about here? I

946
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: know some people are suggesting that Travis Kelce is suffering

947
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: from a Super Bowl hangover. That he's spent his whole

948
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: off season partying with Taylor Swift and sipping Dom Perignon,

949
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: and that he's not in football shape. But let me

950
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: be clear, if I had spent an entire off season

951
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: dating Taylor Swift, my cardio would be outstanding right now.

952
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 3: As we've discussed earlier in the episode, Swift is not

953
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 3: good for offenses.

954
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: No, Swift is not good for offenses. I could go

955
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: hit the seventh stage of the Tour de France if

956
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: I had been dating Taylor Swift all offseason. So I

957
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: don't think that's the problem. But I will tell you

958
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: what's killing Patrick Mahomes. We think of Patrick Mahomes and

959
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: these legendary deep passes, ideally to Tyreek Hill in the

960
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: old day. Since Tyreek has left, those have dried up.

961
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: But listened to this on passes of over fifteen yards,

962
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: and we think of Patrick Mahomes like forty yards downfield,

963
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: there's only fifteen yards. Mahomes ranks twenty seventh in attempts

964
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: and fifteenth in completions. That's it. And these deep balls

965
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: are what unlocks all these big fantasy games gains where

966
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: you get one completion and you get you know, sixty yards.

967
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: None of that's none of that's happened. You mentioned Xavier Worthy.

968
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: He has not helped yet and that might come down

969
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: the road. And that's fair to say that Xavier Worthy

970
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: could turn into the deep threat that he hasn't had yet.

971
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: But this is not a new problem for Mahomes. Let's

972
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: go back to Week eight of last year and the

973
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: eleven regular season games since then, Thor and Matt In

974
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: the last eleven Patrick Mahomes regular season games. You want

975
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: to guess how many times Patrick Mahomes has been a

976
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback Fantasy quarterback and points score. I'll go too, yeah, two, one, Oh,

977
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: we're really close his jo, his average Patrick Mahomes average start,

978
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: going back to the middle last season, quarterback sixteen more

979
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: often than not. If you had another viable alternative, you

980
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: probably would have outscored Patrick Mahomes. You need to have

981
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: some concern about this outBut he's not hurting you. But

982
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: he's not Patrick Mahomes and you either. I just question

983
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: his name. How I did that? Are you buying low

984
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: and Mark Andrews? Are you just glad you don't have

985
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: him for We'll be in this one with Thor.

986
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 3: I'm happy that I do not have him. I do

987
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: not have him in one league, the Ravens. They have

988
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 3: more aerial options now in the offense is always going

989
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: to be run leaning as far as you know, as

990
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 3: long as Lamar Jackson is running it, Andrews always should

991
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: have been viewed, in my opinion, as a situation specific

992
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 3: fantasy played this year, and I think that's what he's

993
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 3: going to continue to be. I fully believe he's going

994
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 3: to have a couple of big games this year, but

995
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 3: that's going to be on the owner in advance to

996
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: suss out those matchups that facilitate those looks. I don't

997
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 3: own him, and I would only buy low if the

998
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 3: price was pretty dang low.

999
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, are you buying low on Mark Andrews

1000
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: or are you just glad you don't have him.

1001
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 2: I think everybody's trying to remember what happened two years

1002
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: ago and three years ago when it was Lamar Jackson

1003
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: running and all of his passes went to Andrews, and

1004
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: those days are over. The addition of Derrick Henry that

1005
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: might be the thing that's killing him, or the emergence

1006
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 2: of Isaiah Likely, or the fact that Zay Flowers was

1007
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 2: drafted last year and he doesn't suck. There's also Lamar

1008
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: being able to run. Still I don't want him. I

1009
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: am glad I don't have him.

1010
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: There's part of me that rationally feel like you can

1011
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 1: get him for almost free right now, and so why

1012
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: not roll the dice. But the numbers just don't back

1013
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: it up. Get this, For the three games this year,

1014
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews has declining snaps, routes, and targets in all

1015
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: three games now. In fairness, last week the Ravens got

1016
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: way out ahead of the Cowboys. They's ram the ball

1017
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, so I mean, you know,

1018
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: the game script turned very much against all the receivers,

1019
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: so maybe that was part of it. But also Isaiah

1020
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: Likely's emergence means that they're just splitting opportunities and there

1021
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: just weren't enough opportunities to go around to begin with

1022
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: correct and Likely's really good, and so even though Andrews

1023
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: might still be a good tight end, there's just not

1024
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: enough opportunity. And we've sent it for a million times

1025
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: over the thirty years of this show. Opportunity is more

1026
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: important than talent for fantasy use, yes, and we just

1027
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: don't have it with Mark Andrews correct answer, be glad

1028
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: you don't have them tough. Question number three, Is Malik

1029
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: Neighbors already the number one dynasty wide out?

1030
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: Matt speaking of opportunity and talent? I mean he's pretty good, right.

1031
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: Yes, that that is the X and Y axis coming

1032
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 1: together right here.

1033
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: It really is. But my answer is no, he's not

1034
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: the number one dynasty wide out because Daniel Jones is

1035
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: still so bad. He threw a pass to Neighbors that

1036
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: got him concussed on Thursday night. It was a pass

1037
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: that it just it toasted him. You think that won't

1038
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: happen again with Danny Dimes at the Helm, No, it's

1039
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: gonna happen again. Neighbors is probably in the top five though.

1040
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 2: If it's me, I have Jefferson, Chase, Lamb, and Harrison

1041
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: above Malik Neighbors. But that's it.

1042
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: That's it, Okay, Foor. Is Malik Neighbors already the number

1043
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: one dynasty wideout?

1044
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 3: He's not, But I'm so dang impressed with him. Even

1045
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: that ball where he got concussed. He did that Chris

1046
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 3: Carter thing where his body went lamp in order to

1047
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: get the feet behind him in and if he had

1048
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: held onto that ball. He would have have been a

1049
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 3: catch because he got those feed him. But that's why

1050
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 3: his head bunked off the ground. Justin Jefferson's ahead of

1051
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 3: him for sure, Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase. It's hard

1052
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 3: to sort of gauge their value here based on acclimating

1053
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 3: back early in the season.

1054
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: Love neighbors, absolutely love him.

1055
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 3: But contextually you think about Dynasty, They're going to have

1056
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 3: a different quarterback in the future. I think they're also

1057
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 3: going to have a different coaching staff in the future.

1058
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 3: Then there's going to be an acclamation process of that

1059
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 3: young quarterback that they draft ostensibly in the top five

1060
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 3: to six this coming year. That could hurt neighbors. And

1061
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 3: then also when you get more weapons around him. One

1062
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 3: Dale look decent on the Thursday night football game, but

1063
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 3: they need other weapons around him. Once they do, those

1064
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 3: guys will get the balls as well. Some neighbors. He's

1065
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 3: moven up there, but I can't call wide receiver one

1066
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: in Dynasty.

1067
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: For receivers, I'd rather have neighbors than almost everybody, but

1068
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: not quite everybody. And the criteria is I need any

1069
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: other receivers gotta be young, and I put the cut

1070
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: off at twenty five. Gotta be twenty five or younger,

1071
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: and you have to have a stable, good quarterback throwing

1072
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: you the ball. So my list is not that different

1073
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: than yours. Justin Jefferson, I think is in whether it's

1074
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold in the future or it's JJ McCarthy in

1075
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: the future. Ceedee Lamb is in. Dak Prescott's got a

1076
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: fat new long contract, he's set. Jamar Chase is in

1077
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow. He's only twenty four. Jamar Chase I

1078
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: also had. I'm on Ross Saint Brown in he's only twenty,

1079
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: that's true. And Jared Goff's great, He's not great. I'm

1080
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: on Ross great. Jared Goff's good enough. I don't have

1081
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: Harrison in mind quite yet, but I've got the Leak

1082
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: Neighbors number five. Those are the only four receivers that

1083
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: I would say no to on a trade for the

1084
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: Lak Neighbors and the list. That's it, just the four guys. Hey,

1085
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: let's get back to the matchups coming up next. Hey,

1086
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: it's me New England Patriots taking on the forty nine ers.

1087
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: There is not a lot to talk about with the

1088
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: Patriots side. Ramondre Stevenson. When I went into this matchup, Matt,

1089
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: I thought Ramondre Stevenson was going to be a bench guy.

1090
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: But then I started digging into the data.

1091
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: But we all wish we left him on the bench last.

1092
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: Week, and boy, oh god, I survived a couple of

1093
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: guillotine leagues by the skin of my teeth Romondre because

1094
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: I got him in a lot of leagues forty nine ers.

1095
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: Run defense is just okay. They're giving up four point

1096
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: four yards per carry. They've given up the eleventh most

1097
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing runners. They ranked twenty fifth in

1098
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: run defense success rate. They're dead last in rushing yards

1099
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: before contact at two point three. They've allowed the second

1100
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: fewest missed tackles, and Stevenson's been great with miss tackles,

1101
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: so they're tackling well. I'm also a little bit worried

1102
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: about the Patriots offensive line, which is decimated by injury

1103
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: right now, but I think Stevenson gets enough use here.

1104
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: If the Patriots have any prayer of pulling the upset here,

1105
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: they've got to run the ball and run well, and

1106
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: they got to hope that Romandri does some special things.

1107
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: So I just think through sheer volume. They're gonna that

1108
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: romondre Stevenson is gonna be a play here. C grade

1109
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: on rimondre Stevenson. The entire passing games on the bench

1110
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: for the Patriots.

1111
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: Do you think it is the Drake may Real getting

1112
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: into this game.

1113
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: I hope not, because they're doing the right thing by

1114
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: not putting him in these terrible positions behind a bad

1115
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: offensive line that's all banged up. Let's hope that we

1116
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: don't see Drake may here. The whole passing game on

1117
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: the bench, including Hunter Henry, which I think would be

1118
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: the guy you'd be most inclined to play here. Forty

1119
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: nine ers rank number one in tight end defense, allowing

1120
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: the fewest receptions, the fewest yards, and the fewest touchdowns

1121
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: zero to opposing tight ends. So this is not and

1122
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: by the way, they were the six bet tight best

1123
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: tight end defense last year by Fantasy points. It's the

1124
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: whole thing's dead, including Pop Douglas. You might be tempted

1125
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: to start, We're not going to go there either. So

1126
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: all the passing game out for the Patriots. Let's go

1127
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: to the niner side. A grade on Jordan Mason. He

1128
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: leads the league in rushing attempts, and why not. He's

1129
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: averaging almost five yards per carry. He's posted the sixth

1130
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: best avoided tackle rate. He's got the fourth highest rushing

1131
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: yards over expectation. Patriots are not a bad run defense,

1132
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: to be clear, but they've allowed rushing touchdowns in every game.

1133
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: They're not a good They're not dominating run defense. The

1134
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason just too much volume. He's too good a grade.

1135
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: With the news that Christian McCaffrey is going to Germany

1136
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 2: to get his achilles looked at, does this make Jordan

1137
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 2: Mason League winner a top five runner the rest of

1138
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 2: the year.

1139
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it absolutely does. Absolutely does. Does anybody

1140
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: ever go to like some foreign country to have some

1141
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: procedure that's an illegal in America and come away better

1142
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: for it? I mean it's like such a desperation dart throw.

1143
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't ever seem like it works, like you're going

1144
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: to some shirpa in a yurt in Mongolia because you

1145
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: found some guy who's willing to give you the procedure.

1146
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know, man, I figure like the German

1147
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: embassy would be like something you could go to instead.

1148
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be me. Yeah, I think absolutely Horse placentis.

1149
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: Let's go Robby, let's go with the past. Let's go

1150
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: with the passing game. And I'll start with Brock Party,

1151
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 1: who has look great currently. Pro football focuses quarterback two

1152
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: overall seventy two percent completion rate that he's throwing the

1153
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: ball deep down field. He's still completing a ton of passes.

1154
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: He's got the third and longest average depth of target,

1155
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: and those big downfield plays have unlocked gobs of fantasy points.

1156
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: Patriots have struggled against Geno Smith and Aaron Rodgers and

1157
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: back to back games, and this looks like their toughest

1158
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: test yet. I've got a solid B borderline A grade

1159
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: on Brock Purty. Juwan Jennings. Now, we got to watch

1160
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel's status for this game. Now, if Deebo goes

1161
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: in this game, he only gets a C grade because

1162
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm worried that he's not going to be one hundred percent.

1163
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: But if Deebo's out, Juwan Jennings back to being a

1164
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: solid play like he was last week. Jennings get the

1165
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: big uptick in usage and routes, run and plays last week.

1166
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: He's a big body, he's athletic. He wins contested catches.

1167
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: Jenny runs about half his place from the slot, where

1168
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: he would match up against cornerback Marcus Jones, who's allowing

1169
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: a seventy three percent catch rate. Again, if Debo comes back,

1170
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,479
Speaker 1: then Deebo runs from the slot and they'll kick Jwan

1171
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: Jennings outside. That would drop Jennings to a crade in

1172
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: this game. How about Brandon Ayuk. I get the feeling

1173
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: if the Niners could do it again, they would not

1174
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: pay Ayuk the money they just paid him. Because Juwan

1175
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: Jennings looks every bit is good and he's practically free,

1176
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lot of coverage from the Patriots'

1177
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: best cornerback, Jonathan Jones, who often shadows opponents' best outside receiver.

1178
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: Jones was great last year, allowing only a single touchdown,

1179
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: and Jones hasn't allowed a touchdown this year so far.

1180
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: He's been similarly didn't allow a touchdown last year and

1181
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: this year he's giving up just two catches for twenty

1182
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: nine yards per game in his coverage. I can only

1183
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: get you to a C grade on Ayuk. Ayuk looked

1184
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: like the smash spot last week ended up being Juwan Jennings.

1185
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: He's looks like George Kittle's gonna go, which is great.

1186
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: Excited for him to go. If he can't, you could

1187
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: throw Eric Sauberd in again, but.

1188
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 2: He is off the injury report.

1189
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,919
Speaker 1: Now, very positive news there. Patriots have allowed the six

1190
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: most tight end receiving yards, including getting hammered by Tyler

1191
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: Konklin last week. So Kittle goes, be great on Kittle,

1192
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: game on and hopefully that will be the case in

1193
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: this game. One final matchup for this segment, and that's you,

1194
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: Matt Okay Washington Commanders at Arizona Cardinals, and we got

1195
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: to a stage with Jayden Daniels in game number four.

1196
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: We just go, well, he's an obvious A and we

1197
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: just move on with the rest of our matchup.

1198
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. He's completed eighty percent of his

1199
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: passes this season. He's twenty third in the league in

1200
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: passes attempted, but he's been super efficient, sixth in the

1201
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 2: league in yards per attempt at eight point seven yards.

1202
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: He's also scored the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback

1203
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 2: and second in the league in rushing yards by a quarterback,

1204
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: behind only Lamar Jackson. He's an auto A grade unless

1205
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 2: he plays a heavy hitter of a defense. This Cardinals unit,

1206
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: ain't it. Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaurin, he's fifth in the

1207
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: league in average depth of target at sixteen point four yards.

1208
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: That means he's sixteen yards downfield from the line of

1209
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 2: scrimmage when targets get to him. That's a long way

1210
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 2: is a long way. Problem is he's only had eighteen

1211
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: targets in his first three weeks, and I don't know

1212
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 2: if I expect a huge target load this week. It's

1213
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: been so easy to run again sins the Cards. Hardly

1214
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 2: any receivers have done anything. Son God managed seventy five

1215
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: in a score last week, but that's really the only

1216
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: notable game thus far for wide receivers. They're not even

1217
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 2: really getting targeted against Arizona. So I'll give Terry a C.

1218
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: But I don't feel super enthusiastic about it. And you're

1219
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: not starting Diami Brown, who's eating into Luke McCaffrey snaps,

1220
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm sad about that. Zach Ertz is getting you four

1221
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 2: or five targets a game, which means he'll get you

1222
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 2: four or five receptions per game, and that's a lot

1223
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 2: in this tight end class really is. It's a revenge

1224
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: game for him too. But it's the same problem I

1225
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: have with McLaurin. No one's passing against the Cards. I'll

1226
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 2: throw a cee here for PPR leagues because he will

1227
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 2: get you four catches, so you got four points plus

1228
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: the ardage For the Runners. Austin Eckler is out with

1229
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 2: a concussion, so Brian Robinson is in line for bell

1230
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Cow usage. He had fifty two percent of the team's

1231
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 2: rushing attempts last week while Eckler was still healthy. Bell

1232
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 2: Cow's James Cook and Kyron Williams had decent fantasy days

1233
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 2: against the Cards, but the combo of David Montgomery and

1234
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 2: Jamior Bibbs both had a field day against Zona last week.

1235
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Both over one hundred total yards, both scored. It's worth

1236
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 2: noting they combined for thirty nine carries. That's so many.

1237
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 2: B is for bell Cow and B is for Brian.

1238
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: On the other side, Kyler Murray, he's getting an A

1239
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 2: grade opposing quarterbacks if thrown a touchdown pass against the

1240
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Commanders nine times this year, most in the league by

1241
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 2: a bunch through three weeks. Even Danny Dimes had a

1242
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 2: relevant game against this defense, Michael Wilson was charges take

1243
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 2: a chance on me wide receiver and Marvin Harrison an

1244
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 2: obvious A grade. I mentioned mclaurin's average depth of sixteen

1245
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 2: point four. Well, Marvin is at sixteen point one. That's

1246
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 2: sixth best in the league. All nine of the receiving

1247
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 2: touchdowns the Commanders have allowed, they've all gone to wide receivers.

1248
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Top wide receivers have not failed yet against Washington, Mike Evans,

1249
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Chris Godwin, Malik Neighbors, Jamar Chase. They all managed at

1250
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 2: least twenty PPR points. And Trey McBride is out with

1251
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 2: a concussion this week, so it's all going Harrison's way.

1252
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Trey McBride's backup, Elijah.

1253
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should know this. Yeah, we're I'm not going there.

1254
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: I had I.

1255
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Needed to pivot to him in one of my I'm

1256
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: desperate in some of my boke I've had a pivot

1257
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to him against Thank you, Elijah Higgins. He was heavily

1258
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: used last week after McBride went out. Look, if you

1259
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: are desperate, this is a plausible start against Washington, Okay,

1260
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Elijah Hidgen Higgins.

1261
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Uh, if it's so easy to pass against Washington as

1262
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: James Connor doomed. No, he gets an A grade two.

1263
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 2: Rashad White, Devin Singletary, Zach moss All had at least

1264
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 2: ninety total yards against the Commanders. Connor should bounce back

1265
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 2: after a dismal week against a good Lions d He's

1266
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 2: ready to go. Give him an A.

1267
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: All right, we need to wrap up for this segment

1268
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: when we come back. Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts. This

1269
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson has become one of the trickiest starts. So

1270
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: this week he's facing probably the best defense in the

1271
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: NFL and he has played badly. We will find out

1272
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: if you dare put Anthony Richardson in your lineup when

1273
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

1274
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Jarchi and Matt Harrison, Thor and Einstrom

1275
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: with you. Steelers take on the Colts. We already talked

1276
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: a little bit on the passing game of the Steelers. Thor,

1277
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about the running game. Naji Harris looks like

1278
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: he's sitting on a big workload here. With Jalen Warren

1279
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: ruled out of this game, he.

1280
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 3: For sure is and it looks like Harris will play.

1281
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 3: He had his own injury, the right arm injury, but

1282
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 3: withheld him from practice on Wednesday, but he came back

1283
01:03:59,000 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 3: on Thursday.

1284
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Looks like he's gonna play.

1285
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 3: And Harris is averaging twenty plus touches per game had

1286
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 3: a season high thirteen point six PPR points against the Chargers.

1287
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 3: This is a very good matchup against a bad Colts defense,

1288
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 3: in particular with Jalen Warren out of the game. And

1289
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 3: could that last development there lead to more playing time

1290
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 3: for Cordero Patterson. I think that's what ESPN Steelers beat

1291
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,959
Speaker 3: reporter believes reporting on Friday the Patterson will likely play

1292
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 3: more in this game. Patterson had four carries for thirty

1293
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 3: three yards against the Chargers and three catches on five

1294
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 3: targets for fifteen additional yards. So someone to keep an

1295
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 3: eye on if your roster is injury decimated like most

1296
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 3: of ours.

1297
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: And it helps that the Colts are giving up the

1298
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: second most rushing yards, including two different one hundred and

1299
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: fifty yard rushing performances against them. Correct, I think Cordaryl

1300
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Patterson dart throw CE.

1301
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 3: Dart throw. C. We're giving him at dart throw. See

1302
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 3: of course, justin Fields might take a chance at me.

1303
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 3: Quarterback George Pickens his top wide receiver really his only

1304
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver there he gets an a wide receiver fifty

1305
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 3: and fantasy points per game. But the underlying metrics to

1306
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 3: just that a breakout game is imminent for George Pickens,

1307
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 3: and why not against this terrible Colts defense. Pickens is

1308
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 3: number ten in separation rate and route win rate. He

1309
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 3: has a bonkers two point nine yards per route run

1310
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 3: against single high coverage as you will see throughout this

1311
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 3: game against a Colts defense that loves to run it.

1312
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 3: Pat Fryermouth given him a B tight end fourteen and

1313
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 3: fantasy points per game, but he's number three and route

1314
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 3: win rate, and this is another good matchup for him.

1315
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 3: Indy is allowing the seventh most fantasy points per game

1316
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 3: to tight ends anyone playing against the Colts defense.

1317
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: It's a good matchup.

1318
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 3: Moving over to the Colt side, I do believe that

1319
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is startable. I'm not giving up on Anthony

1320
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 3: Richsons okay, and in particular sort of the paradigm that

1321
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: we find ourselves in this week, he might even be

1322
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 3: an attractive start for you, depending on the rest of

1323
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 3: your ross. I'm giving him a bee this week, mister Richardson. Now,

1324
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 3: of course he's been QB twenty one and QB thirty

1325
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 3: one in Fantasy the last two weeks.

1326
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: The struggles through the air.

1327
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 3: Go without saying, he's not even completing fifty percent of

1328
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 3: his passes. And of course you mentioned the Steelers how

1329
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 3: good that their defense is. They also have the NFL's

1330
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 3: number two run defense. However, again in lieu of the

1331
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 3: context of this thing, I was looking at advanced metrics

1332
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 3: on this where the Colts do have an advantage on

1333
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 3: the deep passes in this game that is obviously Richardson's game,

1334
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 3: and I think he's going to break a runner two

1335
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 3: I think in this game against the Steelers on scrambles.

1336
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him a be.

1337
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 3: Again in the context that we're existing and now Jonathan

1338
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 3: Taylor's an obvious mus start gets an a Michael Pittman,

1339
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 3: he's the one.

1340
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: That really really suffers.

1341
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, because of the Richardson passings, I'm gonna give

1342
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 3: him a C. It's bordering on I'm closer to bench

1343
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 3: than I am to be for Pittman. Anthony richards inconsistency

1344
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 3: short and intermediate is killing Pittman's production, and Pittman overall

1345
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 3: does not seem like a good.

1346
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Fit for Richardson's game. I agree, just as.

1347
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 3: A general sort of comment there, Pittman had four catches.

1348
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, has not had more than four catches nor

1349
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 3: thirty six receiving yards in any game this year, zero

1350
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: touchdowns so far in this game. Of course, he's going

1351
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 3: to be shadowed by Joey Porter Junior. The not great

1352
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 3: likely needs a touchdown to be to return value in fantasy,

1353
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 3: but I'll give him a seat. I'm gonna keep Josh

1354
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 3: Downs on the bench here. He's been richardson sort of

1355
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,919
Speaker 3: accuracy helper. And you know in his first game Downs

1356
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,919
Speaker 3: his first game back, had forty percent design target rate,

1357
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 3: but only one point eight a dot. It's right near

1358
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. This is not a good matchup

1359
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 3: for Downs. Steelers have all of the tenth fewest receiving

1360
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 3: yards per game to opposing slots. If you're super duper desperate,

1361
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 3: you could try Alec Pierce here again because of the

1362
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 3: thing of the deep balls with the Colts, and if

1363
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,439
Speaker 3: your your roster is decimated, I could see you starting

1364
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 3: him in deep league, standard leagues. I think you have

1365
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 3: to keep Pierce on the bench, but keep in mind

1366
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 3: the possibility of a bomb there, and of course he's

1367
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 3: gonna return the value if he does. Twenty five point

1368
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 3: two A dot for Alec Pierce so far they year,

1369
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 3: you're saying, yeah, it's it's pray for the home run

1370
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 3: proposition with him here, No Colts tight end is startable.

1371
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 1: So that's all we got for that matchup. Kansas City

1372
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: takes on the Chargers. Let's start with Travis kelce I

1373
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: can only get you to a C grade, and honestly,

1374
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: it's only because he's running a ton of snaps, tons

1375
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: of routes run. He's on the field so much you

1376
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: feel like he's gotta get rolling at some point, hopefully.

1377
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Sunday Chargers have been a middle of the pack tight

1378
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: end defense so far. The most capable tight end the

1379
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: Chargers have faced so far. Brock Bauers six catches, fifty

1380
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 1: eight yards, got it right now. I would love that

1381
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: from Travis Kelsey. It's like his whole season right now.

1382
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: I've got to be sorry. C grade on Travis Kelcey,

1383
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: C grade on Xavier Worthy. Our worst fears have been

1384
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: realized it's very low volume and nothing to show for it.

1385
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: When Xavier Worthy doesn't catch a long bomb like he

1386
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: did in week one, it's basically he's mvs all over again.

1387
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: All you know, you could your total total dart throw stuff.

1388
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Really hard to figure out when when these things could

1389
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: come together. And after two dud games, I still give

1390
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: him a C grade here because he's running a lot

1391
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: of routes second only to Rashi Rice on this team,

1392
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: and the Chargers secondary has only faced Gardner Minshew, Bryce

1393
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: Young and and Justin Fields and they're gonna be without

1394
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: safety Derwin James, so maybe without their starting safety in

1395
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 1: this game, that does unlock a deep catch for Xavier Worthy.

1396
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: So I'm throwing a dart throw sea on Xavier Worthy

1397
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: in this game. That's it for the receiving portion. Oh,

1398
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice every week A grade. I'm Arashi Rice. We're

1399
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: at this point now where it's just obviously every week

1400
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: unless something strange happens. Love Rashee Rice every week. The

1401
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: six yard slant that he turns into twelve yard games

1402
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: over and over again all game. We love it for

1403
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice. Let's go to the running game. Carson Steel

1404
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: seventeen carries even even thousands of miles separated from Krocky Jay.

1405
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1406
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: Man of Steel, Man of Steel. Uh. He got two

1407
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: thirds of the workload last week and he ran even

1408
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: ran more routes than samajip Ran. Was shocked me. I

1409
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: did not expect that Steel would be really involved in

1410
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: the receiving game at all. He is a bruising, vertical runner,

1411
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: just a battery ram, and if there's a rushing touchdown

1412
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: to be had, which is not always the case with

1413
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, He's probably going to be the guy to

1414
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: get it. The Chargers haven't allowed a rushing touchdown yet,

1415
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,879
Speaker 1: but they've also played three to totally anemic rushing attacks.

1416
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: They're giving him four and a half yards per carry,

1417
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: middle of the pack. It's an opportunity for a C

1418
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: grade on Carson Steele. Kareem Hunt's going to be active

1419
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: in this game, and I think he eats directly into

1420
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: samaj pe Rand's role because they're very similar. They're pass

1421
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: catching backs, third down backs. I don't think you can

1422
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: start either one here. P Rand looked got enough use

1423
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: that you could cobble together a start from him last week,

1424
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: but Hunt, I think daggers him here and they're both

1425
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: on the bench. Patrick Mahomes just the C grade I've

1426
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: only got you. I can only get you that far.

1427
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: We already talked about him extensively in this show, so

1428
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a lot more time on

1429
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: it here. But as again Derwin James out, there's gonna

1430
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: be some opportunities for Mahomes, but I don't love him

1431
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: here in this matchup. Let's go to the Charger side. JK.

1432
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: Dobbins with a tough matchup. He's been great seven and

1433
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: a half yards per Carrie. What are we talking about

1434
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: for JK. Dobbins? But this is a tough matchup because

1435
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: a good Kansas City run defense that ranks fifth best

1436
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: in run defense sixs rate, no opposing runner has topped

1437
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: forty six yards against the Chiefs. They've allowed the fourth

1438
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards. So I can only get you to

1439
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: a B grade on JK. Dobbins, who's been honestly the

1440
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: Cinderella story at the running back position so far this year.

1441
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: And then for the Chargers the entire passing games on

1442
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: the bench justin Herbert hopes to play through his ankle injury,

1443
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: but there's warning signs everywhere. Volume a big problem. Chargers

1444
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: ranked thirty first in pass passing plays. Herbert's three games

1445
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: have been painfully low on volume and yards. Here's air

1446
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Bear's average game. Fourteen completions for one hundred and thirty

1447
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: three yards. That's it. Kansas City's a good pass defense,

1448
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: and no opposition wide receiver has topped even sixty seven yards.

1449
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: Elite cornerback Trent McDuffie probably locks up Quinton Johnston because

1450
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: he looks like the best of the receivers so far,

1451
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: and that's a death sentence for Quint Johnson. And who's

1452
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: going to lose that battle? Nine times out of ten,

1453
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: I would not chase Johnson's recent success in a much

1454
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: tougher matchup. All right, final matchup of this segment. We

1455
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: go to a Monday night game, one of our two

1456
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Monday night games. If we've got two Monday night games,

1457
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: is it Monday Night feetball?

1458
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 2: No?

1459
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: No, let's never do that again. Tennessee takes on the

1460
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins.

1461
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 2: Matt will Levis is startable in a thirty two team

1462
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 2: league with a mandatory quarterback starter, but he's not startable

1463
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 2: in most other leagues. He's thrown six touchdown passes this year,

1464
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 2: two of them went to the other team. He has

1465
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 2: eight turnovers through three games, and Mason Rudolph could be looming.

1466
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 2: If that keeps up. Miami much easier to run against

1467
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 2: than pass. If you like playing with fire, maybe start

1468
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. On one hand, one of

1469
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 2: them will end up with seventy of yards in a

1470
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 2: score in all likelihood. It's happened to both of them

1471
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 2: once in the last two weeks. But what happened to

1472
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 2: the other one? In both cases they had one for

1473
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 2: nine yards. Wow, So you're playing with fire. Ridley had

1474
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 2: the stinker last week. He figures to line up with

1475
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey most often this week. The best wide receiver matchup,

1476
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 2: by the way, is Tyler Boyd in the slot against

1477
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 2: Cater Koho. But I wouldn't start any piece of this

1478
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: passing game at all. Tony Pollard was might take a

1479
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 2: chance on me runner. Ty J. Spears is a real

1480
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 2: live person, but he's on the bench. He's getting two

1481
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 2: to six touches per game and that's not enough. On

1482
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 2: the Dolphins side, who is the quarterback? Skyler dealing with

1483
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 2: a rib injury that knocked him out of last week's game,

1484
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 2: Tim Boyle came in and completed about half of his throws.

1485
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 2: Then there's Tyler Huntley, who they signed off the Ravens

1486
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,480
Speaker 2: practice squad a week ago. Huntley is the most intriguing

1487
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 2: if you have to start a Dolphins quarterback because he

1488
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 2: can run a little just because of the rushing upside,

1489
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 2: but he SAPs the value I think of everyone else

1490
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 2: at this moment, I can't advise starting any of these guys,

1491
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 2: which also means you are benching Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle.

1492
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm with the Waddle. All I need Hill to do

1493
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: is catch a bubble screen, break a tackle, and run.

1494
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm keeping Hill in my lineups. But

1495
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you on Waddle.

1496
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 2: The problem is he managed only three catches for forty

1497
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 2: yards last week, and that was with Skuyler and Boyle

1498
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 2: in a passing game script where they lost by three

1499
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 2: touchdowns Like that would be where you get the bubble

1500
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 2: screen to Tyreek Hill. It didn't work. Plus, the Titans

1501
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 2: pass defense is good.

1502
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Well that was also well, well, that is true. The

1503
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: Titans defense is sneaky gut.

1504
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have yet to allow a wide receiver to

1505
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 2: top seventy yards, and not one wide receiver has scored

1506
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: against them through three games. Devon Ahchan, he still gets

1507
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 2: a B grade. Though Raheem Mostert still limited. They'll probably

1508
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 2: hold him out for another week, which should mean Belkow

1509
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 2: status for eight Chan. Again, the Titans have been beaten

1510
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: by running backs through the air, an area where a

1511
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: Chan excels. Three different backs have scored passing touchdowns in

1512
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. Breise Hall, who I think we

1513
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 2: give a similar pedigree to in the passing game, he

1514
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 2: had seven catches for fifty two yards, and eight Chan's

1515
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 2: already had seven catches in a game twice this year,

1516
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 2: so I like him with a B grade.

1517
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Here, let's take a break. When we come back premature speculation,

1518
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: we'll jump in the Fantasy Football Weekly time machine and

1519
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,479

Speaker 1: pick up next week, but they're already on your roster.

1522

Speaker 1: Time Machine Premature speculation Matt Harrison who said people pick

1541
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: up this week that will also going to be trying

1542
01:16:58,920 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: to pick up next week.

1543
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Jameis Winston. Oh because the

1544
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 2: current QB Browns hasn't hit the two hundred yard mark

1545
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 2: in any game this season and only has three passing

1546
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 2: touchdowns in the first three weeks. The Browns, by the way,

1547
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 2: haven't topped eighteen points in a game yet. There's also

1548
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 2: a few legal things that have come up in the

1549
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks against him. Compare this bad start

1550
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 2: for Cleveland to the backup quarterback of the Browns last year,

1551
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, who started six games, had multiple touchdowns in

1552
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 2: five of six and passed for over three hundred yards

1553
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: in five of six, Kevin Stefanski. He's a good offensive coach.

1554
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 2: You can get a lot out of the quarterback position.

1555
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 2: Watson just doesn't care anymore, and Winston will be up

1556
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 2: maybe this week, maybe next week.

1557
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Thorn Eistrom, your premature speculation player, is the wide receiver

1558
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: one for his NFL team, Tomio Pop the douglast Okay

1559
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: love Pop.

1560
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 3: There's also flashing knee signs here that Pop will have

1561
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 3: some level of sustained production going forward, even if the

1562
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 3: Patriots quarterback play doesn't improve.

1563
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: A whole lot.

1564
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 3: Last week, Pop had nine targets, he cut seven of

1565
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: them sixty nine yards against the Jets. Seventy percent routes

1566
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 3: here and forty five percent first read share in that game,

1567
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 3: by far the highest of any Patriots wide receiver that week.

1568
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 3: He finished wide receiver twenty six in fantasy. Douglas has

1569
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 3: as many receptions as the next two highest Patriots receivers combine,

1570
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 3: and nearly triple as many yards as the next highest

1571
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 3: Patriots wide receiver. Ceiling, of course, is cap by the

1572
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 3: offensive feeble passing attack, et cetera. But the Patriots need

1573
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 3: to generate efficiency on offense, and the only way that

1574
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 3: they could do that outside of try to force the

1575
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 3: ball to Henry, is for Pop Douglas to be a

1576
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 3: primary conduit in that this might be your last shot

1577
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 3: to get Douglas for free. The forty nine ers have

1578
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 3: allowed the most yards to slot wide receivers this season,

1579
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 3: and again, the only other guy they throw to is

1580
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 3: Hunter Henry, but in part because of large part because

1581
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,919
Speaker 3: of Fred Warner, the forty nine ers of race opposing

1582
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 3: tight ends. So the only the guy the Patriots throw

1583
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 3: to is Pop Douglas, and I don't think they're gonna

1584
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 3: be throwing to Henry in this game.

1585
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: I gave him a bench grade, but it was only

1586
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: only because against the Jets, you don't want to throw

1587
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: against these outside corners that they've got, you know, Reed

1588
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: and Sauce Gardner. So that's why I figured they went

1589
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: to the slot a lot. But Pop's the best and

1590
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: most reliable of the guys they have. I just wish

1591
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: they didn't have three slot receivers. kJ Osborne involved sometimes,

1592
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: but Pop's the best, is the best and most reliable

1593
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: of the group for sure, Matt. We could have gone

1594
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,440
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco, by the way, as my premature speculation,

1595
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: because Joe Flacco could end up in could end up

1596
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 1: in this game at some point.

1597
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that there's a chance that the Colts

1598
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 2: are gonna bail on Richardson after what his you know,

1599
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 2: his fifth.

1600
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 1: That would be a tough game in his career, well seven,

1601
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: He's had seven starts, five full games. You know, here's

1602
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: the scenario, is he's playing the best defense in the league. Yeah,

1603
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: he throws a couple of early picks, and you just go,

1604
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna let you. We're gonna let

1605
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: you sit for a little bit. We're gonna let you

1606
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: learn from a seasoned veteran. You're gonna watch how Joe

1607
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: flack go puts together a game plan. Blah blah blah

1608
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: blah blah. There's a scenario where they just feel like

1609
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: the best thing for Anthony Richardson is to learn from

1610
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 1: the bench. We call that the Bryce Young the Bryce

1611
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: Young treatment could be coming his way. And Shane Steichen

1612
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: is on the hot seat. His team's one and two.

1613
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: They squeaked out that one win last week. Yep, there's

1614
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: a scenario where Shane Steiken's like, I'm not going down

1615
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 1: with the ship on Anthony Richardson completing forty nine percent

1616
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: of his passes because we're gonna lose too many games.

1617
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: So that's one scenario. The other guy, though the guy

1618
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: planned to talk about Roshawn Johnson, I already talked about

1619
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: him in this game, DeAndre Swifts. We're starting running back

1620
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Roshan I think his next man up.

1621
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to our matchups store Seattle Seahawks taking on

1622
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Nobody talking about the three and oh

1623
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Enough right, Yeah, let's start with the running game.

1624
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: We don't yet know it's a Monday night, or we

1625
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: don't yet know if Kenneth Walker's gonna go in this one,

1626
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: which makes it a little bit thorny.

1627
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been out with that oblique injury that he

1628
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 3: suffered in Week one. He's being officially listed as questionable,

1629
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 3: and while Walker did return to practice on Thursday, was

1630
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 3: as a limited participant, same thing on Friday.

1631
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: Not terribly promising.

1632
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 3: If he goes, I would give him Asy and Charbonne

1633
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 3: a see if if Walker does not go, Charboney gets

1634
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 3: a B in this one. On volume alone, last two games,

1635
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 3: Charbonney is averaged ninety percent of the offensive snaps taken

1636
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 3: by Seattle and average twenty touches in eighty eight total

1637
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 3: yards per game. He ranked RB six and Fantasy points

1638
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 3: per game during that stretcher. He gets that volume bu

1639
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 3: Gino Smith can to give him a B as well.

1640
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 3: Quarterback thirteen in Fantasy right now. Recent success in this scenario,

1641
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 3: you guys recall last September, the Seahawks had that wild

1642
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 3: thirty seven to thirty one overtime win in Detroit, and

1643
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 3: you beat this Lion's defense through the air, of course,

1644
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 3: so Seattle's game script is going to call for plenty

1645
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 3: of passes on that fast track.

1646
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 1: He gets a B.

1647
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 3: Dk Metcalf is the obvious start at an A and

1648
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 3: is on pace for his best career season seventeen two

1649
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 3: sixty two two line through three games so far.

1650
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: I love Ryan Grubb, Yes all, it's a coordinator and

1651
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: the Bears gonuper I'm guessing their decision to pick up

1652
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 1: Shane Walla super sharp.

1653
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 3: But maybe you should have been the Washington Huskies choice

1654
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 3: to be their next head coach. But yeah, and said,

1655
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 3: Seattle gets to profit off that. Tyler Lockett, I'm gonna

1656
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 3: give him a seat. He had the great game last week,

1657
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 3: of course, but my supposition is that Jackson Smith and

1658
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 3: Jigba returns to the clear wide receiver two in the

1659
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 3: passing attack this week. That's why Smith and Jigbos might

1660
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 3: take a chance on me guy. This is a decent

1661
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 3: matchup though, of course for all the receivers there. Detroit

1662
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,839
Speaker 3: has allowed the ninth most PPR points to boundary wide receivers.

1663
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 3: Of course, Detroit secondary starting three new guys there. That's

1664
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 3: something that you can exploit no offense. You got to

1665
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 3: keep him on the bench. Even though he had six

1666
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 3: catches for sixty receiving yards last week, hasn't done much

1667
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,719
Speaker 3: outside of that. Was also a limited participant in practice

1668
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 3: on Friday with a toe injury, keep him on your

1669
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 3: bench unless you're desperate, and he's ultimately active. Flipping over

1670
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 3: to the Lions side, Jared Goff gets to see slow

1671
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 3: start for him this season, only quarterback twenty four right

1672
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 3: now in fantasy. There's some pessimism surrounding that Detroit offense

1673
01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 3: right now. Sportsbooks have adjusted the totals down this game

1674
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 3: totals only in the mid forties.

1675
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: We've been seeing in the mid fifties and touch like that.

1676
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 2: See.

1677
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 3: The Seahawks also have a nasty pass defense. They've allowed

1678
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 3: the second lowest epa per drop back in the NFL. Goff,

1679
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 3: if I have better options, I would keep them on

1680
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 3: the bench, but I'm gonna give them a seat because

1681
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 3: there's very few viable options out there in the NFL

1682
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 3: right now. David Montgomery also gets to see he's OURB

1683
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 3: ten and fantasy points per game, averaging almost twenty touches

1684
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 3: ninety five total yards per game. You have to play

1685
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 3: them on volume, but Seattle's run defense has gotten a

1686
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 3: lot better over the offseason into this year, fourth highest

1687
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 3: stuff rate in the NFL, and the underlying metrics suggests

1688
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 3: that Motgomery has lost maybe half a step, maybe a

1689
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 3: quarter step not quite as good as in years past.

1690
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 3: Jamior Gibbs is the must dark guy there gets the

1691
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 3: a only one less touch inside the five yard line

1692
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 3: this season than Montgomery had to point that out, and

1693
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 3: Gibbs has also surpassed one hundred scrimmage yards in consecutive games.

1694
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 3: Amon ra Saint Brown, of course another A and must start.

1695
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams is gonna give him a seed coming off

1696
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 3: a down game, and this is not a good matchup

1697
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 3: against that fearsome Seahawks pass defense. Seattle's giving up the

1698
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 3: second few is wide receiver points in Fantasy last one.

1699
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 3: Sam Laporta, he is, of course a must start, and

1700
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 3: he's an A left last week's game with the low

1701
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 3: ankle springs. I just wanted to give a brief update

1702
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 3: on that return to practice as a full participant on Friday.

1703
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Great signs, we have great sign.

1704
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 3: Likely indication that he's playing, and this is a good

1705
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 3: matchup Seattle. That cornerbacks are great, and they're great, you know,

1706
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 3: at mitigating the wide receivers, but they struggle against opposing

1707
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 3: tight ends. The aforementioned Hunter Henry remember his eight catch,

1708
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 3: hundred nine yard explosion in Week two that came against

1709
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 3: the Seahawks.

1710
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:37,799
Speaker 1: Hmm, I like that angle Laporta is killing fantasy owners.

1711
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: We need a big game here, Yes, I hope you're

1712
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: right with that A grade. The Sunday night football game

1713
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: is Buffalo at Baltimore. Great game shaping up Josh Allen

1714
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: obvious A grade in an MVP caliber season. Let's talk

1715
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: about some of his receivers, including Khalil Shakir. Loved him

1716
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Touchdowns in two of three games. Currently

1717
01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus is twelfth highest graded receiver. Khalil Shakier

1718
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: has been targeted fourteen times, fourteen catches. Baby, oh love it.

1719
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: This is the year at Boise State. Well am I missing? Well? Well,

1720
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: the team itself has been doing great. Oh yeah, there

1721
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: we go. He's fifth in yards after the catch. He

1722
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna match up in the slot. They actually use

1723
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: a lot of different defenders in the slot. Use Marlin humph

1724
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: for the use Kyle Hamilton, but both those guys are

1725
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: struggling unusually. Kyle Hamilton's great, but he's allowing an eighty

1726
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: seven percent catch rate and an a post passer rating of

1727
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four. So game on for Khalil

1728
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: Shakir with a B grade. Keon Coleman scored a touchdown

1729
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: last week, but note that was his only target of

1730
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the game, and he goosegged you the week before that.

1731
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: He has seen declining routes run in every game, down

1732
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:49,639
Speaker 1: to just eleven routes last week. Khalil, Sorry, Keon Coleman

1733
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: on the bench. Curtis Samuel disaster here, only averaging a

1734
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: couple of catches per game and his average target three

1735
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: yards downfield. Yeah, you can't get anything done on that.

1736
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: Matt Collins actually more startable than Samuel or Coleman, but

1737
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't not get his starting grade here either. You

1738
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 1: know who does and is sitting out a big game.

1739
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:10,759
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid, Yes, I think this is a big ee comment.

1740
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Ravens allowed the second most tight end receptions twenty three already,

1741
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 1: that's seven and a half per game, and the Ravens

1742
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 1: allowed the second most tight end yards ninety three per game.

1743
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: Love this, yes, And it's not like the Ravens have

1744
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: played Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez in their prime. The

1745
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: tight ends against them have been Jake Ferguson, Brock Bauers,

1746
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Noah Gray, and they're still giving up all this. I

1747
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: got an A grade on Dalton came fully healthy after

1748
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: getting nicked up in the week one and that was

1749
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: affected him in Week two as well. James Cook is tricky.

1750
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns the past two weeks, and that's a great

1751
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: sign for a player who hadn't been seeing the end

1752
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 1: zone regularly throughout his career until now. But this is

1753
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: a very difficult matchup against a Ravens team allowing the

1754
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards per carry just two eight and they

1755
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: rank sixth best ten yards after contact. No opposing runner

1756
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: his top forty five yards against the Ravens now In fairness,

1757
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: the only good runner they've seen was Isaiah Pacheco in

1758
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: the opener, but he only got three yards per Kerry two.

1759
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good run defense C grade

1760
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: on James Cook. All right, let's flip it over to Baltimore.

1761
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson gets an A grade now. Buffalo Steymied has

1762
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: stemied all the quarterbacks they faced through the air, and

1763
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 1: there's a really good pass defense Kyler Murray Tua before

1764
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: they knocked two out of the game. And then there

1765
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: was Trevor Lawrence and they shut him down. He ultimately

1766
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: had to get left the game just because it was

1767
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: out of hand, but Kyler did run for fifty seven yards,

1768
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: and Jackson remains an A grade even if gets a

1769
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: very good secondary. Dereck Henry is an obvious A grade

1770
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: most weeks, including this one, although this is a good

1771
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: Bills run defense but not elite, and Henry gets a

1772
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: full head of steam going in this one. Zay Jones

1773
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: just a C grade. The path of least resistance is

1774
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: on the ground, and I think we're gonna see a

1775
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of Dereck Henry here and Zay Jones has to

1776
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: go up against Rasul Douglas and kri Benford. Those cornerbacks

1777
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: are great. They haven't allowed a touchdown and they're giving

1778
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: up less than a fifty percent reception rate. And as

1779
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 1: we talked earlier in the show, these Baltimore tight ends

1780
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: are on the bench until we get more clarity and

1781
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: more use out of these guys. They're seeing declining use.

1782
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 1: And only John hus Smith in garbage time and a

1783
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: garbage time of a blowout game his top thirty yards

1784
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. There you go. We snuck it off games.

1785
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: We get bye weeks next week, good games we get, Yeah,

1786
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: we get some bye weeks. We'll get to talk about

1787
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: fewer games for a little bit longer.

1788
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 2: We get a London game next week, London, and get

1789
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: what does that mean?

1790
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Colin McCartney's coming, Ackney making his return next week. You'll

1791
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,440
Speaker 1: want to stay tuned for that. Fantasy Football Weekly continues
