0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. Time

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly source

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now along

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>with the guys from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host,

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Paul Joshi. It's a week four edition of Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just a bloodbath out there with so many injuries. Man,

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to be nimble. The people are gonna win

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>this year are the people who are staying on top

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of all of the news, that are responding quickly, that

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>are making changes to their lineups. There's never been a

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>worse year that I can remember to just like have

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>your draft and then just stick with those guys. My

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>co hosts today are Matt Harrison and Thorne Eystrom. Hi, guys,

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it is. It is nuts.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Our pre show meeting was like this guy's injured,

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>and this guy's injured, and this guy's injured, and like

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 2>the Cleveland Raiders game is going to be.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Just horrible, but yes, and what a what a disaster.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>As always, we're going to bring you through all of

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the remaining games on the NFL schedule. We'll answer three

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>tough questions. We'll give you nine players upon whom you

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>can take a chance, and as always premature speculation near

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the end of the show, we dive in with a

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>game without as much injury drama, I'm happy to say,

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And for the Bengals, it's been a while since we

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't had any. They come back after a tricky loss

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>against Washington, the Bengals now facing Carolina Panthers. Two weeks ago.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>This looked like a layup. Now it's a little bit trickier.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with Zach Moss. We talked about him as

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a Bilow candidate a week or two ago. Yeah, and

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>he had a really nice game last week. Do you

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>like Zach Moss here against the Panthers.

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's funny that you say that the Bengals

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>are healthy at their zero to three one and two Panthers. Yeah,

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Zach Moss is the guy in Cincy right now. He's

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>seen seventy five percent of the snaps and faces of

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Panthers defense. There really hasn't been good against the run

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>since Jake Delane was in town. Carolina gave up one

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>hundred and ten total yards to Kamara one thirty one

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to JK. Dobbins, both of them scored. Mos gets an

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>A here and oh, by the way, Chase Brown is

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a desperation C grade because backups Jamal Williams he had

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty one total yards in a score, Gus Edwards fifty

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>nine yards, Alexander Madison forty four in a score. If

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>you're desperate for a running back, Chase Brown, a lot

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 2>of people are right now. Might be a guy that

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you can start. Jamar Chase. He gets an A grade.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>T Higgins gets a B. Higgins was on the field

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>for ninety percent of the snaps. He saw six targets

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>in his first game back. It was encouraging to see

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>him get seventy six air yards on those six targets.

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Burrow was targeting him downfield. Speaking of downfield, this Panthers

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>defense got toasted by Rashid Shaheed in Week one and

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>it's mostly been J. C. Horn getting roasty and toasty.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>He's allowing an average of thirteen yards per catch in

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>his coverage and he and Mike Jackson will take turns

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>with Chase and Higgins. But the Bengals have the advantage

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 2>in every combo here, so good grades for them. It's

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>not a revenge game for Joe Burrow, but the oh

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and three Bengals definitely have something to prove. If I

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>liked his receivers, I'm giving Burrow a start. He gets

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a B grade. It's because the two quarterbacks who have

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>beat the Panthers this year, they've tallied two hundred and

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty yards through the air. That's it,

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>but both they haven't needed to they haven't needed to pass.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Both Derek Carr and Justin Airbear did manage multiple scores

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>in those games, though, so that's why a B for Burrow.

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>It is a revenge game for his counterpart Andy Dalton.

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>It's actually his fourth crack at the Bengals with his

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>fourth different team. Wow. He saw time against Cincy while

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas, Chicago, and New Orleans. He has thrown a

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>touchdown in every game against them when he's played the Bengals,

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 2>but he's never top two hundred yards in any game

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>against his former team. The Bengals were able to hold

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes mostly in check in Week two. Jade and Daniels

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 2>ended up having a good day against them last week,

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>but he brings a totally different dimension than the almost

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven year old Dalton. It's a good story, but

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving him on the bench. Deontay Johnson I will

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>give a C grade too. He's played the Bengals a

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.119
<v Speaker 2>lot in his career since he's figured out how you

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>neutralize him pretty well. He hasn't topped sixty yards or

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>scored in six straight outings against them. Game script alone

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>should be in Johnson's favor. So so is the fact

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that Adam Thielen hit Ir this week with a hamstring injury.

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>And when Johnson goes up against Dax Hill on the

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>left side of the coverage, yeah, he's got a great matchup.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Hill has allowed a passer rating of one to twenty

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>one in his coverage so far. And Chewba Hubbard. He

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 2>gets a B grade and was given full belcow usage

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 2>last week and it paid off. He had twenty six touches,

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty nine total yards and a receiving score.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Every running back that's had double digit targets or sorry,

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 2>double digit touches against the Bengals this year has either

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>topped ninety total yards or scored, so Chuba Hubbard is

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>definitely in play with a B grade here.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Chuba Hubbard we were talking. There was those first

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>two weeks are like I can never ever start you

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>bubb it again. And then all it took was that

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>one Andy Dalton starting me like, okay, well, game back on.

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess, I guess all right there, Let's go to

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Broncos at the Jets. Bonix coming off. I

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>think indisputably his best game. But you're come Sauce Gardner

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and DJ Reid and on, no way am I starting

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Bonix here? No, you can't.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned a first decent game in the NFL. Last

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 3>week he finished quarterback twelve in Fantasy and that in

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 3>large part because of his rushing output. Terrible matchup here

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 3>against that Jets pass defense that is absolutely awesome. The

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Jets are tied for second fewest passing touchdowns allowed in

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>the NFL this year. The Jets profile to immediately corral

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Nicks is pattent a quick hitters and checkdowns, so he's

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to run for a touchdown to return thee

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 3>value here. I keep him on the bench as well.

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Javonte Williams, I'm gonna give him a great tot. See

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 3>only Jordan Mason has seen more loaded boxes by the

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 3>numbers this year than mister Javonte Williams.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>And your team's bothering to load the box against Javonte Williams.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a manifestation of a Bonix offense, right.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to keep guys deep for that.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 3>And because of that, Javante held under seven PPR fantasy

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 3>points for the second time this season against Tampa Bay.

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 3>No touchdowns yet for him, sharing snaps of Julia mclafflin

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>and Tyler Baiting.

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 3>In addition to that, the Jets have allowed the eighth

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 3>fewest fantasy points to running backs. Startable if you need to,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 3>but of course you have to keep your expectations in check.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to give Javanti Williams a see Cortland Sutton.

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm also going to give him a best game of

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 3>the season last week against the Buccaneers, seven of eleven

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 3>targets caught for sixty eight yards. But again Bonick's offense,

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 3>it's the short stuff.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>And I worry.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I worry about Sauce and DJ Reeve. That's the other thing.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, he will be across from Sauce Gardner and

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 3>so you know a guy in Sutton who had less

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 3>than eight fantasy points in each of the first two games.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>I think he's headed back into that neighborhood. We'll we'll

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 3>give him a see though. Also going to give a

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>seat to Aaron Rodgers in this game flipping over to

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 3>the Jets. Rogers had two hundred and eighty one yards

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 3>with two touchdowns, no interceptions and that win over the

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Patriots last Thursday. But this is a far worst matchup

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 3>for him. The Broncos also have an awesome pass defense,

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 3>and this should be another This should be a low

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>scoring game. The Vegas total is under forty. Breece Hall

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 3>going to give him an A. Of course, twenty plus

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 3>touches in a TD in all three games. Talking a

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 3>lot about Brayleen aw and we're gonna be talking more

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>about him later because he might take a chance on

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 3>me running back. But Breeseall needs to stay in your lineups.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna downgrade Garrett Wilson to a B in this matchup.

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Hasn't gotten over sixty receiving yards in any game this

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 3>year or finished as a top twenty five fantasy receiver

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 3>in any week this season. This is also not a

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 3>good matchup for a breakout game for him. Patrick Sir

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Patrick Sirtan is waiting right across from you. He is

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>shut down three straight. Number one outside wide receivers. DK

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Metcalf had three catches for less than thirty yards. George

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Pickens had two catches for less than thirty yards. Mike

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Evans had two catches for less than twenty yards against

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>mister Patrick Cirtan, who will be shadowing Wilson in this game.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually think your B grade is kind of generous

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>for Garrett Wilson, and I love Garrett Wilson.

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that one's almost on principle, right, but I

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 3>mean somewhat. You know, you could say principal the other

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 3>one and downgrade him even more than that, Ellenlizzard. I'm

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna give him a C wide receiver eighteen in Fantasy

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 3>so far, seventeen percent target share, one point eight yards

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 3>per route run. Decent matchup for him here against Riley

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Moss and Rogers, of course, maybe looking his way more

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 3>with Patrick Sirtan on the other side of the field.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Got to keep Mike Williams on the bench, but don't

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 3>cut him quite yet. We just need proof of life

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 3>before we can start him again. But I wouldn't be

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 3>starting him this week and then Tyler Conklin. I'vevacillated between

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 3>an A and a B here, I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 3>go with a B. But I'm super high on Gronklin

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>as we call him this week. He had the ninety

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 3>three receiving yards last week. Now ranks as the number

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 3>one tight end in the NFL in route participation, which

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 3>portends well for future fantasy output. Avoiding Patrick Sirtan is

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 3>going to lead to more looks for Conklin, I think

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 3>from Rogers. Keep in mind this Bucks tight end Kate

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Outon had a twenty four percent target share last week

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 3>against the Broncos, easily the highest of the season because

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>the bronc the Buccaneers were avoiding Sir Tan and the

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 3>other thing. Broncos will be without their starting middle linebacker

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 3>Alex Singleton, which I think could also help Conklin in

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 3>this matchup.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna give him a bee wow. And so

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>many people need help at tight end. Yes, Trey McBride

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>out all the problems the tight end position has had.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>That is some that's some good, good advice on Conklin.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Rams taking on the Bears here,

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot to not like. I do like Kyron Williams.

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>On the Rams side, the way to beat the Bears

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>is on the ground, as Jonathan Taylor proved last week,

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Chicago giving up four point six yards per carry. They

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>rank ninth worst in yards before contact at one point

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>eight yards. Williams is getting a whopping eighty seven percent

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of the running back snaps from Los Angeles, seventy nine

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>percent of the carries, and seventy percent of the routes

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>run amongst running backs. So just the heavy usage here

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and the way to beat the Bears is on the ground.

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.839
<v Speaker 1>A grade for Kyron Williams. Let's go to the passing game,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>where there's not a lot to like. My only letter

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>grade is on Colby Parkinson. On paper, the Bears look

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>great against tight ends, but they've not played anybody better

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>than Dalton Schultz, who they held to twenty one yards.

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Parkinson averaging a healthy thirty one routes per game but

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>still only seeing four targets per game and only at

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a depth of four point eight yards. I've got a

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>desperation C grade in a brutal week for tight ends.

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>For Colby Parkinson, you can give him a D grade.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>That's fine, I really can't because there is no such

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>thing as a D grade on this show. Let's go

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to the rest of the passing offense here, DeMarcus Robinson.

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>He's the de facto number one wide receiver for the Rams,

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>which normally would be good, but against Chicago that means

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>you get Jalen Johnson, and that's bad. He's awesome. Currently

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football focuses eleventh ranked cornerback, allowing per game averages

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of just two catches, twenty five yards and no touchdowns.

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Robinson dominating the routes run. He leads the team in

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>targets as well. But just the tough matchup here. I've

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>got Robinson on the bench, I've got two two out

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Well and Tyler Johnson on the bench as well. Now,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>last week, two weeks ago, it was Tyler Johnson over

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>two to at Well. Last week it was two to

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>at Well over Tyler Johnson in terms of targets, routes, run,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and receptions. I don't they could flip flop back Atwell

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>looked looked like he fit in the offense a little

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>bit better last week either way, kind of a neutral

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>matchup against Tyreek Stevenson He's a good, not great cornerback.

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>He's giving up a fifty nine percent catch rate, which

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>is above average. He's given up one touchdown so far.

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>But to me, I just don't trust this passing offense.

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>And I've got both Atwell and Johnson on the bench.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Why isn't two two Atwell's number twenty two?

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Two to two? Yeah, great question.

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>He's number five. What is he doing?

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Is is twenty two of valid wide receiver number?

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can do that. I think that's Rashid Shaheed's number.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>That's they got to make that change. That's a great question.

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a great question. Lastly, Matthew Stafford on the bench.

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Bear's pass defense very good. They ranked top ten in

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.839
<v Speaker 1>completions allowed, yards allowed, touchdowns allowed. Obviously, Pukinuku is out,

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Cooper cups out, tricky matchups for the wide outs. I

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 1>just I can't get behind Matthew Stafford. Your offensive line problems,

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Let's go to the Bear side. A lot

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>of moving parts here. I'm optimistic about the Bears in

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>this game. Rams defense all beat up. DJ Moore and

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Rome Adunza have a nice opportunity. The Rams secondary has

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>four guys on injured reserve, so I particularly like well.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I like both cornerback to Davius White has allowed a

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>league worst four touchdowns in his coverage already with an

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>approaching perfect passer rating against him, but one hundred and

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>forty seven. The other cornerback is Kobe Durant, who ranks

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>as cornerback eighty six by Pro Football Focus. A Donsay

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>sparked to life last week with a big game eleven targets,

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>six catches, one hundred and twelve yards. I like both

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>A Dunza and DJ Moore at B level grades in

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>this game. Now for that to happen, I need Caleb

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Williams to come around a little bit. If it's not

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>too much trouble, he might take a chance on me quarterback,

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'll tell you about him in just a couple

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of minutes. Cole Kamett, after two weeks of splitting duty

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>with Gerald Everett, Camet got almost all the work last week,

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and he rewarded the Bear confidence in him with a

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>very big game. Comet's got a nice opportunity against Los Angeles.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed forty or more yards to an opposing tight

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 1>end in every game, including a backup Eric Saubert last week,

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>so Cole kamet back on the radar. He is a

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 1>C grade in this game. Keenan Allen, they're hoping he's

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to play. He's going to come

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>into Sunday's game questionable. He runs mostly from the slot,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>where he's got a neutral matchup against cornerback Quinton Lake,

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>who's allowing a sixty nine percent catch rate, has not

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>given up a touchdown yet this year. Hopefully Keenan Allen

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>can come back here and I kind of like him.

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Swift is dead to us.

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>M hmm.

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>He is last in rushing yards over expectation at negative

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>two point four yards. That means he's leaving two and

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a half yards on the table every time he gets

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball.

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, when you go backwards ten yards on a fourth

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.319
<v Speaker 2>and goal rush, it's not that's not not a hell thing.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>His first down run rate is two percent, his yards

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>after contact dead last amongst starters. DeAndre Sift's avoided tackle

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>rate is second to last among starters, and importantly, he

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>got pulled from the game at the end of last

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>week's game for Rochan Johnson, a favorite of a favorite

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of thorn Eystrums.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I think we're gonna have to change DeAndre Swift's last name.

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>That could be the case. Taylor runs like Taylor Rochon Johnson,

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a dart throw. If you're buying into

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the notion and some of the media reports out of

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Chicago that Rochan Johnson's going to be the starter this week,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to bench DeAndre Swift and his three year,

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollar contract, then Rochan Johnson hopefully can get

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a little something done here. The Bears offensive line has

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>not been good, but the Rams defense has been bad,

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 1>allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing runners. All

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>three lead backs LA has faced have topped seventy seven

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards, and the Rams rank thirty first in one

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>defense success rate. LA ranks thirty first in yards after

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>contact allowed. There's a lot to like about the North

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>South power running of Roshan Johnson, potentially in this game.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>How would you feel about a Roshan Johnson breakout.

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I'd feel good, especially with all the injuries we have

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>this week.

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's take it. Let's get the Bears a running

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>game again too. Wouldn't that be nice? It's been a while,

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>been a while we would take that. Yeah, when we

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>come back, take a chance on me. We've already alluded

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to some of the players we're going to refer to here.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Stay tuned

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to fight out who the other seven are when we

0:15:35.960 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Take a chance on me.

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Many of

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>these guys available on the waiver wire right now. Let's

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>find out who they are. Beginning with Matt Harrison, you got, I.

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Got Trevor Lawrence. The last time Lawrence faced this Texans team,

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>tally three hundred and sixty four yards, a touchdown through

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the air, and one on the ground. And I found

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 2>out some interesting stuff about the Texans defense. In three games,

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 2>they have allowed six touchdown passes and they've all come

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 2>in situations where a linebacker or a safety has been

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>in coverage. In Week one against the Dolphins, Trevor Lawrence

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>went after linebackers in safeties eleven times, including his only

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>passing score in the game. In Week two the Browns,

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 2>he targeted non corner sixteen times. In Week three against

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the Bills, it was twenty three times, and Bill's safety

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Cam Lewis was burned for nine catches in ninety nine yards.

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>So the Jags are putting in the effort to create

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the mismatches nine and those mismatches are in their favor

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 2>when the Texans play in zone. So if Lawrence attacks

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the linebackers and safeties in zone coverage, I think he's

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a good day.

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, sounds good. Let's go to thorn Eistrom. Your

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>take a chance at me quarterback justin fields like it

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Colts starting him in a bunch of leagues.

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen point four fantasy points last week, and I think

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>more big games are coming here. Despite the of course

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 3>modest one hundred and seventy two passing yards per game

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 3>that he's putting up so far, Fields his top five

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 3>among quarterbacks in design, run attempt share, and scramble rate.

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 3>He's averaging right now eight point three rushing attempts per game.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 3>That that's a huge fantasy floor for him. In addition,

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 3>in this coming matchup, the Colts have allowed the second

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 3>most rushing yards per game. There rushing defense stinks, and

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 3>their pass defense is allowing thirty four more passing yards

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 3>to opposing quarterbacks than the average opponent. I like Field

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 3>a lot this week as a start.

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>If only somebody had told us in the preseason that

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields would get and hold the job. Matt Harrison, Yeah.

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 2>I did say that a few times.

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>You did.

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Russell Wilson is bad at quarterbacks, so and Justin Fields

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 2>is not as bad.

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>The Bears fans Speaking of Bears fans, who I you know?

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Right now? There's a lot of consternation at Chicago about

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback? Did they pick? Should they have picked Jalen

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Jayden Daniels? Should should they have kept Justin Fields? There's

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions going on.

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Could they have just traded out?

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>They could have traded out, and they've just done it

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>again right to who knows a lot of options here,

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>But Caleb Williams might take a chance to be quarterback

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>this week because it's the Rams. Now. He's coming off

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a three hundred yarder with two touchdowns. The Rams have,

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned last segment, four members of their secondary

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>are on injured reserve. They've allowed the second most passing touchdowns,

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>including back to back three touchdown games. They've allowed the

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>fifth most passing yards. And even though he's not running

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot now, nearly as much as I wanted Kayla

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Williams to run. The Rams have allowed the fifth most

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards to quarterback. Let's go to the running back position, Matt.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I've got Tony Pollard. A backfield we weren't so sure

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 2>about at the beginning of the year is pretty clear now.

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Pollard is getting about two thirds of the snaps, Spears

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>is getting the other third, and lead backs against the

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins have all had good days so far. Travis etn

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine total yards and a score, and he almost

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 2>had a second score which he did not get into

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the end zone in and fumbled. In week one. James

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Cook did have two scores though, and ninety seven total yards.

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>And oh by the way, Zach sharbonet last week he

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.959
<v Speaker 2>had two scores one hundred and seven total yards. So

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 2>two scorers guaranteed for Tony Pollard this week.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Now, it would be nice. He has got tons of usage.

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 1>It's not really We thought it might be like evenly

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>split between Pollard and Tase Sharp. Not close right now,

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>You take a chance with me running back Thorn Eistro.

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Going with Brailan Allen here host The Jets are hosting

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 3>the Broncos last week Allen had one more rushing yard

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 3>than Brees Hall on five fewer carries in that run

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 3>heavy game script, and the blowout went over the Patriots.

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Last Thursday, Allan threw his first three games in the

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 3>NFL one hundred and forty one yards from scrimmage and

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 3>two touchdowns, and he scored at least nine point eight

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 3>PPR point fantasy points in each of the last two games.

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 3>This is, of course, a very decent matchup against a

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 3>mediocre run defense. Broncos are seventh worst in the NFL

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>in miss tackle rate. Jets also likely to open up

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 3>a double digit second half lead that'll flip the game

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 3>script to Brailan Allen touches. He's got to be in

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 3>fantasy lineups this week as a flex if nothing else.

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Right after the draft, you and I talked about how

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 1>much you like Braylan Allen and disliked the landing spot

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that he found himself in behind Breeze Hall, one of

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the best runners in league. Off the top of your head,

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 1>how many teams would Braylan Allen start on right now?

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Are we talking about in a vacuum? Were we talk

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 3>about this week when everyone's in that right Definitely be

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Lord than half the NFL this Yeah, I mean eight

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to ten probably at least.

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's like half the league. I think

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.439
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah, we're getting close. He's really good. You know,

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>else is pretty good. Bucky Irving pretty aren't good going

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>up against Philadelphia this week. Rashod White, by the way,

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>not good so far. Two point one yards per carry.

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>That's horrible, bottom five in rushing yards over expectation at

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.679
<v Speaker 1>negative one point five. Rashod White and his struggles are

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>even more obvious when Bucky Irving is crushing with six

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:26.360
<v Speaker 1>point two yards per carry in the same offense. Last week,

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Bucky Irving broke nine tackles nine tackles nine on the season,

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.360
<v Speaker 1>He's got an avoided tackle rate of thirty two percent.

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>So slippery, so slippery, so slippery, and especially for kind

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of a north south runner, where you'd think you could

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>get better angles on him, but it doesn't work out

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that way. Meanwhile, Rashot White's broken tackle rate twelve percent.

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.919
<v Speaker 1>That's it. I just he's the better runner. The switch

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>is coming. At some point. Rashad White is going to

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>turn into third down past catching guy, and it could

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 1>be this week against an Eagle's defense. That ranks twenty

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 1>eighth in yards allowed at one hundred and twenty two

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards per game, their twelfth in run defense success rate,

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>their twentieth and rushing yards after contact, and Bucky Irving

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>brings the contact baby, so I like him this week.

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Love it. Let's go to our receivers, Matt.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 2>I've got Jahan Dotson because no one in Philly is healthy,

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 2>so it's Dotson's time to shine. AJ Brown isn't practiced

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>in two weeks, DeVonta Smith is out with a concussion.

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Next man up is newcomer Dotson, who's been on the

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 2>field for eighty one percent of the snaps in week two,

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven percent of the snaps in Week three. Andy

0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 2>gets Jamel Dean this week, who's allowed to pass the

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>rating of one to oh three that's in his coverage

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to thorneiserm your receiver.

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going with Jackson, Smith and jigbut at the Lions

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 3>in this game, I think a big bounce back is

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 3>coming for JSN after a quiet Week three, despite the

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Week three passing script going away from him, he led

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 3>all Seahawk receivers in both snaps and routes in that game.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I think he's gonna get peppered with safe targets in

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 3>this game and what is an expected shootout on Detroit's

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.199
<v Speaker 3>fast track. Keep in mind, the lines have allowed the

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.679
<v Speaker 3>fourth most yards to opposing slots this year on the

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.239
<v Speaker 3>second most targets, so the slots are getting a lot

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.880
<v Speaker 3>of targets. And don't forget JSN was pepper with sixteen

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 3>targets for twelve catch in one hundred and seventeen yards

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 3>as recently as Week two.

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think a big game is coming for JSN here.

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I've got Michael Wilson against the Commanders

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>because I want any carbon based life form who is

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>starting against the Commanders. Yeah, they've allowed nine wide receiver

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in three games. Think about that. How bad is

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>nine wide receiver touchdowns in three games. That's more than

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:48.880
<v Speaker 1>eleven NFL teams combined. They've also allowed the third most

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards to opposing touchdowns. Michael Wilson's gonna line up

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:57.919
<v Speaker 1>most often against Washington cornerback Noah igbin A Ganay. You

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>made that name nice right as all focus is ninety

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>nine ranked cornerback. So I like Michael Wilson in this game.

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Charge by the way, I've got to Take a Chance

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the app again, Fanball Winners.

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt Yeah, Jacksonville taking on Houston. You already told us

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 1>how you feel about Trevor Lawrence, So if you like him,

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 1>then some of the receivers have to be in play here,

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and I gotta believe Brian Thomas is your favorite of

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the group.

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mentioned before that attacking zone coverage was key

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 2>for the Jags. The Jags have played against or sorry,

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the Texans have played in zone coverage for defense sixty

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 2>seven percent of the time this year. Brian Thomas Junior,

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>by the way, has not caught a single ball in

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 2>man coverage this year. All of his all of his

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 2>receptions have all been in zone. Christian Kirk is the

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 2>only guy that Trevor Lawrence looks for in man coverage. Okay,

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 2>so that being said, this is it. Yeah, Thomas, I'm

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 2>going to give him a C grade. I'm leaving Kirk

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 2>on the bench. The Texans are going to stay close

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 2>to their tendency. It should be more of a Thomas

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>than a Kirk game. It is worth noting that Evan

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Ingram's still out with a hamstring injury. It's possible that

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Tank Bigsby is contractually obligated to only do stuff in

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Week one because Travis etn is back as the bell

0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>cow whoa. He out snapped Bigsby forty nine to seven

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 2>last week, and even Deernest Johnson got more time in

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 2>mop up duty. The Texans did allow Jonathan Taylor to

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 2>score in Week one and let Aaron Jones go off

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred and forty eight total yards and a

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 2>receiving touchdown last week. The Bears horrible stable of runners

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.879
<v Speaker 2>were the only team that couldn't get anything going on

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.880
<v Speaker 2>the ground. Etn gets a B grade on sheer volume

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.680
<v Speaker 2>in a decent matchup. On the other side, the Texans

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 2>running back Dujure looks like Cam and it looks like

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be Cam Akers, who saw eighty two percent

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of the carries for the Texans last week. With both

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Mixon and Pierce out. All the Texans really said about

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Mixon was that he was present at practice on Friday's good.

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>That's not good at all. He didn't go Wednesday or Thursday.

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he goes, which means it's Cam Akers again.

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 2>He only had twenty nine yards on ten touches last week,

0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 2>but he did score through the air. The Jags haven't

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 2>allowed to run her to top sixty four yards on

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the ground this year, but they have allowed four touchdowns

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.919
<v Speaker 2>to the position and a bunch of receiving yards to

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 2>posing back acres is worth a sea start if Mixing

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>is out. If mix and Miraculous miraculously returns, he gets

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the C instead. Speaking of c's, it's C J. Stroud.

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen just torched the Jags for two sixty three

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 2>and four. That was almost all in the first half

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>of that game, to a put up three thirty eight

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 2>and a score. Stroud is an A grade here in

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a big bounce back week. Nico Collins also getting an A.

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:27.360
<v Speaker 2>So is Stefan Diggs. Yeah, who's primarily been running from

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the slot this year, which puts him in the best

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 2>matchup against Jerry and Jones. But it doesn't even matter.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.560
<v Speaker 2>The three Jaguars corners with more than fifty coverage snaps

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>have allowed pass the ratings of one O eight, one

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>thirteen and one thirty three. Well, that's not good at all.

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Tank Dell, he's out with a rib injury. Oh my god.

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a tank versus tank game. Tanks for it never happens. Well,

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>actually it happens twice a year.

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you don't want to play either of them. Uh.

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Tank Dell out and Dalton Schultz top mark this year

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 2>three catches for sixteen yards and I think we need

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>to see some explosive output before we throw him in

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>your lineup.

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.120
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense. Saints taking on the Falcons Store and

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Chris Alave on Friday suffered a hamstring injury. I don't

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like Friday injuries. That always worries me. The short time

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 1>table to return. Don't know what his status is gonna be.

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to watch that one very closely going

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>up to Sunday.

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if he plays, I'm gonna give him a be

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 3>But that's again something that you have to monitor very closely.

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 3>He's being reported as day to day officially questionable for Sunday.

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Of course, not the best news forty eight hours before kickoff,

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 3>but Olave does have eighty plus receiving guard get each

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 3>of the last two weeks. The Falcons pass defense. Meanwhile,

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 3>on the other side, it's been good so far. Anticipate

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 3>a close game script would lead to a bunch of

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 3>targets for a Lave if he's able to play, and

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 3>the Falcons have allowed the ninth most PPR points to

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 3>opposing perimeter wide receivers this season. Derek Carr with some

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 3>of this stuff up in the air, giving him a

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 3>c crash back down to earth with only one hundred

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 3>and forty two passing yards and five point six yards

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 3>per attempt against the Eagles last week. In that game,

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 3>the reason why he came back to earth he was

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 3>pressured at the fifth highest rate in the NFL. Last week,

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Philly provided the recipe to the rest of the NFL

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 3>on how you defend this Saints team. Carr is not

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 3>going to face as much pressure this week against the Falcons. However,

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.239
<v Speaker 3>The Saints love to use that play action game to

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 3>get their easy looks, and the Falcons they have seen

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 3>more play action than any defense in the NFL this season,

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 3>and they've allowed the eighth fewest yards per attempt on

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 3>play action attempts. For all those reasons, I'm keeping Car

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.719
<v Speaker 3>out a sea. Elvin Kamara. He's listed with two injury

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Everyone listed with injuries this week, ribs and a hit

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.239
<v Speaker 3>pointer listed as questionable. If Kamara plays, we expect him

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 3>to will. I'm giving him an a in this game.

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:45.840
<v Speaker 3>They have to give him a billion touches year, especially

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 3>in lieu of the Olave injury. Kamara RB one and

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Fantasy twenty seven point two Fantasy points per game number

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 3>eight in rush here number two in target share as

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 3>a receiver. The Falcons their defense surrendering more than one

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty rushing yards per game, and the Falcons

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 3>have a poor front seven that projects poorly against that

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 3>wide zone system that the Saints like to use. So

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 3>expect to see Kamara out on that edge and ripping

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 3>off gashing yards there. Rashid shahied I'm going I upgraded

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 3>him to a bee when we got the old Lave

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 3>news here. Of course, he went zero for five on

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 3>targets last week. But despite that, Rashid Shaheed our boy,

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 3>still wide receiver twenty seven and fantasy points per game.

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Solid match up here to get back on track. Falcons

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.479
<v Speaker 3>run the sixth highest rate of single high in the

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 3>entire NFL. Of course, Shaheed is better against single high.

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 3>You get the pre delineated one on one looks that

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 3>he feasts on. You're gonna need that bomb here to

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 3>return the fantasy value. But he's going to get those looks,

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 3>in particular if Chris Olave is not playing, so I'm

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 3>gonna give him a bee. Taysom Hill, stop me if

0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 3>you've heard this one before. Injury surrounding that, but Hill's

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 3>going to be back after he missed last week with

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 3>a chest injury. We'll assuredly see more looks if indeed

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Chris o'lave is out in this game. For that reason,

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I gave him a sea. I wouldn't have game him

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 3>or I wouldn't gamble on him if Olave was indeed playing.

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:05.959
<v Speaker 3>But in the games where Taysom Hill has been healthy

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.920
<v Speaker 3>averaging five touches, twenty seven and a half total yards,

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 3>well healthy flipping over to the falcon side, Kirk Cousin's

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 3>gonna give him a see in this game. QB twenty

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 3>seven and fantasy points per game. Not a great week

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 3>for a statistical bonanza there. Saints have a great passing

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 3>defensive allowed only one passing touchdown this year. Bjon Robinson

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 3>is a must start, of course, Tyler Lger. I would

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 3>keep him on the bench in this matchup. Drake London

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 3>another must start. He's returned to himself after the quiet

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 3>week one that he had in Cousins' debut under speed

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver one there of course Darnell Mooney.

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I think Mooney's looked really good. He has looked really.

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Good and he might be the wide receiver two there,

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 3>the pass catcher number two over Pitts.

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Even there, I'm gonna give him a see.

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 3>He has, like you know that being what it is,

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty three percent target share and the Saints have given

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 3>up the fifth most receiving yards per game. Kyle Pitt's

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna give him a see. This might be the last

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:58.719
<v Speaker 3>week where I give him a seed. He only hit

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Church get this seven point four percent first read share.

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 3>They're not even looking at them. And even if there's

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 3>a tertiary option there, Cousins isn't getting down to him

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 3>on the progression chart there, and Pits start to lose

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 3>snaps last week. In addition, this is though a solid

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>matchup if you can stomach it. The Saints have allowed

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the fourth most receptions and third most receiving yards to

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 3>opposing tight ends this year, so we're gonna give Pitts

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 3>a tentative seat.

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>He had a touchdown taken away from him last week,

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 1>which he deserved. He that, so give him credit for that.

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 1>But he took advantage of a really struggling Chiefs defense

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 1>last week. This is another opportunity for Pits. But man,

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it's never easy with Kyle Pitts. Now, you know what

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>is easy? All fantasy football. When you use some of

<v Speaker 1>When we return a big block of matchups on Fantasy

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly, Paul Jarchi and Matt Harrison throw an ice

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>room with you. Vikings go to Green Bay. Justin Jefferson

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously a great every week. But let me note this.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>JayR Alexander may not play the superstar cornerback. He's got

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>quad and groin injuries and enough fear injuries, and Andy's

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>scared he's wetting them at the prospect of facing Justin Jefferson.

0:33:59.240 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Note that depth cornerback Carrington Valentine, also not expected to go.

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson might be the best play of the week.

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 1>If this thing pans out without those two players.

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like a fantasy ardvark.

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what it does, sound like a fantasy ardvark

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 1>right there, Yeah, fantasy ardvark on Justin Jefferson. Let's stay

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>with the passing game. Sam Donald leads the NFL in

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes. It feels weird to say, at multiple touchdowns

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>in every game. We want our fantasy passers to be

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:31.520
<v Speaker 1>able to deliver downfield, and that's what Sam Donald is doing.

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.879
<v Speaker 1>In total opposition to everything we ever saw about Sam

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald before he got to Minnesota, he actually leads the

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>NFL in completion percentage on passes over fifteen yards. Green

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Bay's pass defense looks suspect, and obviously if jy R.

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Alexander doesn't go, or if he's playing in a limited fashion,

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.399
<v Speaker 1>it looks even better for him. Then. Even though green

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Bay faced almost non functional passers and Will Levis and

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Richardson, they still rank twenty fourth in passing yards

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 1>allowed and twenty fourth in pass touchdowns allowed, and twenty

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>second in opposer passer rating. Sam Darnold's a B right now,

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>and it moves up to an A if JayR Alexander

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 1>can't go. This also brings into play Jordan Addison, who's

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>completely off the injury report as a Friday. He's gonna

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.800
<v Speaker 1>start in this game, and I think Jalen Naylor is

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>also potentially startable. He has been so good. I think

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get a lot of eleven personnel to get Addison, Naylor,

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and Jefferson on the field at the same time. It'll

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:30.440
<v Speaker 1>also press Eric Stokes into x extra coverage and he

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:32.800
<v Speaker 1>was awful last year and he doesn't look any different

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>this year. Just gave up a touchdown to the undead

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>corpse of DeAndre Hopkins last week. Addison and Naylor come

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:42.719
<v Speaker 1>in with C grades. Aaron Jones it's a revenge game,

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of course, when he comes up against a run defense

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.200
<v Speaker 1>that ranks twenty fourth in yards per carry allowed and

0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the other metrics all look roughly middle of the pack

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Green Bay Packers. Two of three opposing teams

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>have run for over one hundred yards against Green Bay.

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna flirt with the one hundred yard

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 1>mark here himself and I've got an A grade on

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones. Let's go over to the Packers. If it's

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a Molik Willis start, then the only starting grade I

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:10.320
<v Speaker 1>can give you is Josh Jacobs. If it's a Jordan

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Love start, I can only get you to a SEA

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:15.359
<v Speaker 1>on Jordan Love because I'm worried that his knee will

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>not be one hundred percent. It'll take away some of

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 1>his mobility. He's going to be a stationary figure for

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Brian Flores to attack. Minnesota is the only team over

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty years to have five or more sacks

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in each of the first three games. Wow, that's a stat.

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a stat right there. This defense is absolutely swarming.

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 1>And if Love doesn't have some of the mobility that

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 1>he uses to extend plays, I'd be worried about him here.

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>If Love does go, I can get you to C

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>grades on Jayden Reid as a run pass combo Romeo Dobbs.

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they've been the only two Green Bay receivers who

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>are getting consistent playing time and routes. I don't see

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of upside for these guys, and that's why

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:00.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm only giving C grades here. And if Reid gets

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>about half of the slot use, which he normally does.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 1>It's not a great situation because Minnesota does a fantastic

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>job against slot receivers in general, Dobbs is going to

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>have better options against the outside cornerbacks Stefan Gilmour and

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Shack Griffin, who are giving up a seventy one percent

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>catch rate. But again, if it's Malik Willis, then the

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 1>whole passing game is on the bench, and that leaves

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>us with Josh Jacobs tough matchup against an elite run defense.

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota ranks number one in run defense by Pro Football Focus.

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:32.399
<v Speaker 1>They're number seven in tackling, their number five in run

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>defense success rate. They're number three in yards per carry

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 1>allowed at just three point six. Two of three opposing

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 1>teams against Minnesota have failed to top forty five rushing

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 1>yards as a team. It's that bad. With Jordan Love

0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>at the helm, Minnesota should provide a somewhat looser box,

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.880
<v Speaker 1>which can help Jacobs reverse declining yards per carry in

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>every game, which has been the case so far. And

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 1>don't start, but let's just let's just note Emmanuel Wilson

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty darn good. Keep your eye on that cat.

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I liked I like what I've seen so far.

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Brian had him as take a chance on me

0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 2>last week and he.

0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Scored pretty good.

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Did he score the time you.

0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Scored a touchdown?

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Scott?

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Not three times? Not like you did?

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Why? Thanks?

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh it?

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Juwan Jenny Nings last week.

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Take a Chance on Me Hall of

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Fame Hall charch In. Thank you very John Tuvy.

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.760
<v Speaker 1>John Tuvy's our raining chasing Yeah, he's our raigning champion

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with a four touchdown take a chance on Me performance

0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 1>about ten years ago, and we'll never forget it. Philadelphia

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Matt Yeah. Saquon Barkley is an A grade. He's on

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the field for eighty five percent of his team snaps

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 2>his cow bell rings the loudest. Jalen Hurts gets an

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 2>A grade too, even with all of his wide receivers

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 2>dinged up. Hurts faces the Bucks that have allowed one

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty rushing yards and three scores on the

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.279
<v Speaker 2>ground two opposing quarterbacks in the first three weeks. That's

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:58.720
<v Speaker 2>second most in yards in the most touchdowns. Dallas Goddard

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:01.520
<v Speaker 2>should be heavily involved again. He had ten catches and

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:04.400
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventy yards last week. Probably could have

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 2>scored on a long catch and run, but I think

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>he got tired the last ten yards. The Bucks have

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:10.759
<v Speaker 2>done a good job keeping the tight end off the

0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:13.919
<v Speaker 2>board so far. Zach Ertz and Sam Laporta didn't do much,

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 2>but they won't receive the volume that Goddard will see

0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 2>in this game. So Goddard gets a B. Johan Dotson

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>was might take a chance on me wide receiver I

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.279
<v Speaker 2>mentioned aj Brown and DeVonta Smith, both unlikely to go.

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Paris Campbell, by the way, will serve as wide receiver

0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 2>two in a juicy matchup against the Bucks. Campbell manned

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the slot last week where Britton Covey got hurt and

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks secondary allowed eleven catches for one hundred and

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 2>nineteen yards to Detroit slot wide receiver a mon Ross

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Saint Brown last week. Now, Paris Campbell's not a mon

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Ross Saint Brown. But yeah, you know the other slot

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 2>receiver on the other side, Chris Godwin. He gets an A.

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>He's seen thirty three percent of his team's targets so

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 2>far this season. He's caught every ball thrown his way

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 2>but three, and he scored a touchdown in each of

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 2>his first three weeks, and from the slot he gets

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Avante Maddox, who gave up a touchdown

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 2>in Week one to a similarly talented slot receiver, Jaden Reid,

0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 2>who had four catches for one hundred and thirty eight

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.840
<v Speaker 2>yards in that one. Mike Evans dealing with a knee injury.

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>He's been limited Wednesday and Thursday. He might not go

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.440
<v Speaker 2>in this one. If he does, he deserves at least

0:40:21.440 --> 0:40:24.800
<v Speaker 2>a C grade. But Jalen McMillan does too. It's been free.

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Darius Sleigh rides all over town that year as Slaves,

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 2>given up a passer rating of one forty one in

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:32.000
<v Speaker 2>his coverage.

0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I do it's bad, and I think it was

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that bad.

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 2>It's real bad.

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>We used to have a slay bells on our button barble.

0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not anymore. We don't anymore. It's we're not very

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Christmasy over here. Baker Mayfield gets a solid B in

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 2>all of this. Kirk Cousins and Jordan Love cobbled together

0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 2>some decent days against this defense. In twelve of the

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 2>last twenty quarterbacks who faced the Eagles d if thrown

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:58.400
<v Speaker 2>for multiple touchdown passes lastly Rashadway and Bucky Irving. Obviously,

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Irving was charged to take a chance on me running back.

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I will note that he did sit out Thursday's practice

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 2>with a hamstring injury, but he did return to practice

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 2>on Friday. We think he'll be good to go. The

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:13.320
<v Speaker 2>snapshare still favors White two to one, but as Charge mentioned,

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the touch totals tell a different story. What I will

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 2>mention in Tampa's most dominant win, White touched the ball

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty one times and he's definitely been more involved in

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the passing game than Bucky. But it's just a C

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 2>grade because I don't trust the workload thor.

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:28.440
<v Speaker 1>We got to be quick on this one. But and

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's all we have to do, because the Cleveland

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Browns are areck right now. They're going to be missing

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:35.320
<v Speaker 1>three offensive linemen in this game against the Raider, sure.

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Are Yeah, you got to keep Deshaun Watson on the bench,

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:40.279
<v Speaker 3>and this one despite it being a decent matchup here

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.320
<v Speaker 3>against that Colts defense, But keep him on the bench.

0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Jerome Ford, Listen, it's questionable here. He did return to

0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 3>practice in limited capacity on Thursday. He has that knee issue.

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.680
<v Speaker 3>If he plays. I'm giving him a seat if he doesn't,

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:53.839
<v Speaker 3>because Pierre Strong has already ruled up for this game

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.799
<v Speaker 3>with the hamstring. Deontay Foreman, I would give the Sea too,

0:41:57.040 --> 0:41:59.279
<v Speaker 3>so we'll see how that goes. Amari Cooper, I'm gonna

0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 3>give him a b. The opportunities finally turned into production

0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:05.360
<v Speaker 3>last week. Seven catches for eighty six yards, two touchdowns

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:07.920
<v Speaker 3>against the Giants on twelve targets, and the Raiders have

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:11.839
<v Speaker 3>allowed the fourth most Fantasy points per game. Two wide

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 3>receivers over expectation have to temper expectation because of the

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.320
<v Speaker 3>quarterback play. But the matchup is there, and in particular

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 3>because David and Joke who's not going to play. So

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 3>when the balls in the air, it is going to

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Cooper going to the Raiders side. Gardner Minshew is a

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 3>bench and his leash is not long. Zamir White. I

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.279
<v Speaker 3>would also keep Zamir White on the bench in this week.

0:42:28.400 --> 0:42:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Disappointment.

0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Only played twenty two percent of snaps last week. Yeah

0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 3>ten ten carries for thirty four yards and the loss

0:42:34.680 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 3>of the Panthers. He needs positive game scripts to get

0:42:37.400 --> 0:42:40.360
<v Speaker 3>production whatsoever. Because he's the early down guy. The passing

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 3>scripts aren't going to work for him. DeVante Adams ruled

0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.880
<v Speaker 3>out he had the hamstring injury. He's not playing in

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:48.839
<v Speaker 3>this game, which makes brock Bauers really the only guy

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 3>that you want to start in this Jim.

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Kobe Myers too.

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I guess with with Adams being out, you could put Myers.

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 1>As a sort of a desperation.

0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:59.360
<v Speaker 3>See brock Bauers, he is the mus star fifteen catches

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 3>last two game and is going to get a ludicrous

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:03.160
<v Speaker 3>amount of targets in this game.

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with you on all of that. You know,

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we like to peacock the things we got right. This

0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:11.320
<v Speaker 1>is us eating pro right here on Zamir White, and

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to Matt and I. We spent the preseason

0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.319
<v Speaker 1>talking of Zamir White as somebody who was gonna get

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a ton of carries in this offense. We thought that

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Zamir White was what we saw in December was productivity.

0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the guy was running, you know, twenty times

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 1>a game for one hundred and ten total yards a game.

0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Are like, okay, I extrapolate that over sixteen weeks he

0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>was a He was one of those guys that I

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:34.760
<v Speaker 1>targeted and might do the opposite drafts in round seven,

0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Zamir White. I'm contemplating dropping him all together. Yeah, based

0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:41.319
<v Speaker 1>on that's getting closer White we've seen.

0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I think this week's gonna be the week. I'm still believing.

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I still believe there's so many raiders out it's gonna

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:47.879
<v Speaker 2>be this week.

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 1>When Antonio Pierce said that he's he's the people that

0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>made business decisions on the field, we're gonna get bench.

0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>The first thing I thought of was Zamir White. Yeah,

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll find out. What's what Hey. Paid

<v Speaker 1>Harrison follow him at Explosive Output and thor Nystrom at

0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 1>thor Ku. Yeah, Rock Chalk at Rock chalk, babe. This

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is a game we call three tough questions.

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Tough question number one, what's.

0:44:54.480 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>The appropriate level of concern over Patrick Mahomes? Is it none?

0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it some? Or is it a bowel loosening level

0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of existential dread? We begin with Matt Harrison.

0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I was confused when I saw this question. It was

0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 2>three confusing questions. I'm trying to come up with. Wide

0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.440
<v Speaker 2>be concerned. I know he hasn't thrown for three hundred

0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:18.799
<v Speaker 2>yards yet, but he has had at least two hundred

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:20.919
<v Speaker 2>and ninety one yards or multiple scores in every game,

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and he played three good defenses so far in Baltimore, Sincy,

0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:26.799
<v Speaker 2>and Atlanta. The schedule isn't easy, but the matchups he

0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:29.480
<v Speaker 2>has left, He's got the Saints two at the Raiders,

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks, the Panthers, the Texans that are suddenly terrible

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 2>at defense. He's not going to break fantasy. He won't

0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:37.799
<v Speaker 2>be the number one scoring quarterback, but he's gonna get

0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 2>you reliable fantasy points every week. And nobody was drafting

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 2>him like he was going to break fantasy this year.

0:45:43.040 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not concerned at all.

0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Zero concern for you, all right, Thorp, what's the appropriate

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:50.800
<v Speaker 1>level of concern over Patrick Mahomes. None, some or blowed

0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that was well sept by Matt.

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 3>You know, as long as he was being viewed as

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 3>a sort of neighborhood to tier two type fantasy quarterback.

0:45:58.000 --> 0:46:00.680
<v Speaker 3>In that context, I don't have any about him. There

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 3>was always going to be some sort of acclamation process

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:05.080
<v Speaker 3>with adding Xavier Worth the end of the offense, and

0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 3>then of course the unexpected loss of Hollywood Brown while

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:10.880
<v Speaker 3>you were trying to acclimate him in. If the expectations

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.080
<v Speaker 3>were realistic, you're not disappointed right now. You're only disappointed

0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:15.680
<v Speaker 3>if the expectations weren't.

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think most people did not see him as a

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:19.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback two. I don't think he was conviewed as a

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>second tier quarterback. He went off the board his quarterback

0:46:22.440 --> 0:46:25.720
<v Speaker 1>five in fantasy drafts. He was viewed as an extremely safe,

0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:29.399
<v Speaker 1>every week starter, but the data does not back that up. Now,

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelsey's part of the problem. He's tight end twenty

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 1>seven right now. It's been bad behind Nick Vannette and

0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Munt. What are we even talking about here? I

0:46:39.680 --> 0:46:42.280
<v Speaker 1>know some people are suggesting that Travis Kelce is suffering

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 1>from a Super Bowl hangover. That he's spent his whole

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:49.000
<v Speaker 1>off season partying with Taylor Swift and sipping Dom Perignon,

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and that he's not in football shape. But let me

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:54.800
<v Speaker 1>be clear, if I had spent an entire off season

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:59.560
<v Speaker 1>dating Taylor Swift, my cardio would be outstanding right now.

0:47:00.719 --> 0:47:03.319
<v Speaker 3>As we've discussed earlier in the episode, Swift is not

0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:04.239
<v Speaker 3>good for offenses.

0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>No, Swift is not good for offenses. I could go

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 1>hit the seventh stage of the Tour de France if

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I had been dating Taylor Swift all offseason. So I

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's the problem. But I will tell you

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:18.880
<v Speaker 1>what's killing Patrick Mahomes. We think of Patrick Mahomes and

0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>these legendary deep passes, ideally to Tyreek Hill in the

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 1>old day. Since Tyreek has left, those have dried up.

0:47:24.600 --> 0:47:27.840
<v Speaker 1>But listened to this on passes of over fifteen yards,

0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and we think of Patrick Mahomes like forty yards downfield,

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:35.600
<v Speaker 1>there's only fifteen yards. Mahomes ranks twenty seventh in attempts

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and fifteenth in completions. That's it. And these deep balls

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.520
<v Speaker 1>are what unlocks all these big fantasy games gains where

0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you get one completion and you get you know, sixty yards.

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.440
<v Speaker 1>None of that's none of that's happened. You mentioned Xavier Worthy.

0:47:49.880 --> 0:47:51.759
<v Speaker 1>He has not helped yet and that might come down

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the road. And that's fair to say that Xavier Worthy

0:47:54.120 --> 0:47:56.360
<v Speaker 1>could turn into the deep threat that he hasn't had yet.

0:47:57.160 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 1>But this is not a new problem for Mahomes. Let's

0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 1>go back to Week eight of last year and the

0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>eleven regular season games since then, Thor and Matt In

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>the last eleven Patrick Mahomes regular season games. You want

0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:14.759
<v Speaker 1>to guess how many times Patrick Mahomes has been a

0:48:14.800 --> 0:48:22.320
<v Speaker 1>top ten quarterback Fantasy quarterback and points score. I'll go too, yeah, two, one, Oh,

0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we're really close his jo, his average Patrick Mahomes average start,

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:31.200
<v Speaker 1>going back to the middle last season, quarterback sixteen more

0:48:31.200 --> 0:48:34.759
<v Speaker 1>often than not. If you had another viable alternative, you

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:38.080
<v Speaker 1>probably would have outscored Patrick Mahomes. You need to have

0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:41.319
<v Speaker 1>some concern about this outBut he's not hurting you. But

0:48:41.400 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he's not Patrick Mahomes and you either. I just question

0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 1>his name. How I did that? Are you buying low

0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and Mark Andrews? Are you just glad you don't have

0:48:52.440 --> 0:48:54.879
<v Speaker 1>him for We'll be in this one with Thor.

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm happy that I do not have him. I do

0:48:57.560 --> 0:48:59.880
<v Speaker 3>not have him in one league, the Ravens. They have

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 3>more aerial options now in the offense is always going

0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 3>to be run leaning as far as you know, as

0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:07.479
<v Speaker 3>long as Lamar Jackson is running it, Andrews always should

0:49:07.480 --> 0:49:09.960
<v Speaker 3>have been viewed, in my opinion, as a situation specific

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:12.239
<v Speaker 3>fantasy played this year, and I think that's what he's

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.440
<v Speaker 3>going to continue to be. I fully believe he's going

0:49:15.480 --> 0:49:17.080
<v Speaker 3>to have a couple of big games this year, but

0:49:17.120 --> 0:49:19.080
<v Speaker 3>that's going to be on the owner in advance to

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 3>suss out those matchups that facilitate those looks. I don't

0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:24.680
<v Speaker 3>own him, and I would only buy low if the

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:26.279
<v Speaker 3>price was pretty dang low.

0:49:26.480 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, Matt, are you buying low on Mark Andrews

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or are you just glad you don't have him.

0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:33.839
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody's trying to remember what happened two years

0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:36.560
<v Speaker 2>ago and three years ago when it was Lamar Jackson

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:39.480
<v Speaker 2>running and all of his passes went to Andrews, and

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 2>those days are over. The addition of Derrick Henry that

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:45.040
<v Speaker 2>might be the thing that's killing him, or the emergence

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:47.800
<v Speaker 2>of Isaiah Likely, or the fact that Zay Flowers was

0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:51.800
<v Speaker 2>drafted last year and he doesn't suck. There's also Lamar

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:54.960
<v Speaker 2>being able to run. Still I don't want him. I

0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:56.160
<v Speaker 2>am glad I don't have him.

0:49:58.440 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 1>There's part of me that rationally feel like you can

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:03.720
<v Speaker 1>get him for almost free right now, and so why

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.000
<v Speaker 1>not roll the dice. But the numbers just don't back

0:50:06.040 --> 0:50:09.040
<v Speaker 1>it up. Get this, For the three games this year,

0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Mark Andrews has declining snaps, routes, and targets in all

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:18.960
<v Speaker 1>three games now. In fairness, last week the Ravens got

0:50:18.960 --> 0:50:20.879
<v Speaker 1>way out ahead of the Cowboys. They's ram the ball

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:22.279
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the game, so I mean, you know,

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the game script turned very much against all the receivers,

0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>so maybe that was part of it. But also Isaiah

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Likely's emergence means that they're just splitting opportunities and there

0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just weren't enough opportunities to go around to begin with

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:37.240
<v Speaker 1>correct and Likely's really good, and so even though Andrews

0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.360
<v Speaker 1>might still be a good tight end, there's just not

0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:42.760
<v Speaker 1>enough opportunity. And we've sent it for a million times

0:50:42.760 --> 0:50:46.520
<v Speaker 1>over the thirty years of this show. Opportunity is more

0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:50.719
<v Speaker 1>important than talent for fantasy use, yes, and we just

0:50:50.760 --> 0:50:54.160
<v Speaker 1>don't have it with Mark Andrews correct answer, be glad

0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have them tough. Question number three, Is Malik

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Neighbors already the number one dynasty wide out?

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Matt speaking of opportunity and talent? I mean he's pretty good, right.

0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that that is the X and Y axis coming

0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:12.919
<v Speaker 1>together right here.

0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:15.480
<v Speaker 2>It really is. But my answer is no, he's not

0:51:15.520 --> 0:51:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the number one dynasty wide out because Daniel Jones is

0:51:18.600 --> 0:51:21.520
<v Speaker 2>still so bad. He threw a pass to Neighbors that

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.720
<v Speaker 2>got him concussed on Thursday night. It was a pass

0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:28.040
<v Speaker 2>that it just it toasted him. You think that won't

0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 2>happen again with Danny Dimes at the Helm, No, it's

0:51:30.800 --> 0:51:33.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen again. Neighbors is probably in the top five though.

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:39.080
<v Speaker 2>If it's me, I have Jefferson, Chase, Lamb, and Harrison

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:41.200
<v Speaker 2>above Malik Neighbors. But that's it.

0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:46.359
<v Speaker 1>That's it, Okay, Foor. Is Malik Neighbors already the number

0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:47.760
<v Speaker 1>one dynasty wideout?

0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:50.919
<v Speaker 3>He's not, But I'm so dang impressed with him. Even

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.200
<v Speaker 3>that ball where he got concussed. He did that Chris

0:51:53.200 --> 0:51:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Carter thing where his body went lamp in order to

0:51:55.840 --> 0:51:58.200
<v Speaker 3>get the feet behind him in and if he had

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:00.440
<v Speaker 3>held onto that ball. He would have have been a

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 3>catch because he got those feed him. But that's why

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:05.640
<v Speaker 3>his head bunked off the ground. Justin Jefferson's ahead of

0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:08.200
<v Speaker 3>him for sure, Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase. It's hard

0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:10.360
<v Speaker 3>to sort of gauge their value here based on acclimating

0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:11.360
<v Speaker 3>back early in the season.

0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Love neighbors, absolutely love him.

0:52:13.160 --> 0:52:15.840
<v Speaker 3>But contextually you think about Dynasty, They're going to have

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:17.719
<v Speaker 3>a different quarterback in the future. I think they're also

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:19.440
<v Speaker 3>going to have a different coaching staff in the future.

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Then there's going to be an acclamation process of that

0:52:21.640 --> 0:52:24.279
<v Speaker 3>young quarterback that they draft ostensibly in the top five

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:27.040
<v Speaker 3>to six this coming year. That could hurt neighbors. And

0:52:27.040 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 3>then also when you get more weapons around him. One

0:52:29.640 --> 0:52:32.759
<v Speaker 3>Dale look decent on the Thursday night football game, but

0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:35.359
<v Speaker 3>they need other weapons around him. Once they do, those

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:37.880
<v Speaker 3>guys will get the balls as well. Some neighbors. He's

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:40.040
<v Speaker 3>moven up there, but I can't call wide receiver one

0:52:40.080 --> 0:52:40.680
<v Speaker 3>in Dynasty.

0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:44.600
<v Speaker 1>For receivers, I'd rather have neighbors than almost everybody, but

0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 1>not quite everybody. And the criteria is I need any

0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:49.560
<v Speaker 1>other receivers gotta be young, and I put the cut

0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>off at twenty five. Gotta be twenty five or younger,

0:52:52.440 --> 0:52:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and you have to have a stable, good quarterback throwing

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you the ball. So my list is not that different

0:53:00.000 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 1>than yours. Justin Jefferson, I think is in whether it's

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Sam Darnold in the future or it's JJ McCarthy in

0:53:05.160 --> 0:53:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the future. Ceedee Lamb is in. Dak Prescott's got a

0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:11.440
<v Speaker 1>fat new long contract, he's set. Jamar Chase is in

0:53:11.600 --> 0:53:15.080
<v Speaker 1>with Joe Burrow. He's only twenty four. Jamar Chase I

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.359
<v Speaker 1>also had. I'm on Ross Saint Brown in he's only twenty,

0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:21.279
<v Speaker 1>that's true. And Jared Goff's great, He's not great. I'm

0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:24.480
<v Speaker 1>on Ross great. Jared Goff's good enough. I don't have

0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Harrison in mind quite yet, but I've got the Leak

0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Neighbors number five. Those are the only four receivers that

0:53:29.920 --> 0:53:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say no to on a trade for the

0:53:33.160 --> 0:53:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Lak Neighbors and the list. That's it, just the four guys. Hey,

0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:39.719
<v Speaker 1>let's get back to the matchups coming up next. Hey,

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's me New England Patriots taking on the forty nine ers.

0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:45.600
<v Speaker 1>There is not a lot to talk about with the

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Patriots side. Ramondre Stevenson. When I went into this matchup, Matt,

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought Ramondre Stevenson was going to be a bench guy.

0:53:52.040 --> 0:53:54.160
<v Speaker 1>But then I started digging into the data.

0:53:54.200 --> 0:53:56.640
<v Speaker 2>But we all wish we left him on the bench last.

0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Week, and boy, oh god, I survived a couple of

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:02.560
<v Speaker 1>guillotine leagues by the skin of my teeth Romondre because

0:54:02.560 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I got him in a lot of leagues forty nine ers.

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Run defense is just okay. They're giving up four point

0:54:08.440 --> 0:54:11.320
<v Speaker 1>four yards per carry. They've given up the eleventh most

0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:14.680
<v Speaker 1>fantasy points to opposing runners. They ranked twenty fifth in

0:54:14.800 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 1>run defense success rate. They're dead last in rushing yards

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:23.760
<v Speaker 1>before contact at two point three. They've allowed the second

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:27.840
<v Speaker 1>fewest missed tackles, and Stevenson's been great with miss tackles,

0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:30.080
<v Speaker 1>so they're tackling well. I'm also a little bit worried

0:54:30.080 --> 0:54:32.560
<v Speaker 1>about the Patriots offensive line, which is decimated by injury

0:54:32.640 --> 0:54:35.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, but I think Stevenson gets enough use here.

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 1>If the Patriots have any prayer of pulling the upset here,

0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>they've got to run the ball and run well, and

0:54:40.160 --> 0:54:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they got to hope that Romandri does some special things.

0:54:42.719 --> 0:54:44.840
<v Speaker 1>So I just think through sheer volume. They're gonna that

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 1>romondre Stevenson is gonna be a play here. C grade

0:54:47.640 --> 0:54:50.520
<v Speaker 1>on rimondre Stevenson. The entire passing games on the bench

0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:51.319
<v Speaker 1>for the Patriots.

0:54:51.400 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it is the Drake may Real getting

0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:57.319
<v Speaker 2>into this game.

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I hope not, because they're doing the right thing by

0:55:01.360 --> 0:55:03.879
<v Speaker 1>not putting him in these terrible positions behind a bad

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:06.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that's all banged up. Let's hope that we

0:55:06.520 --> 0:55:09.120
<v Speaker 1>don't see Drake may here. The whole passing game on

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the bench, including Hunter Henry, which I think would be

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the guy you'd be most inclined to play here. Forty

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:17.080
<v Speaker 1>nine ers rank number one in tight end defense, allowing

0:55:17.120 --> 0:55:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the fewest receptions, the fewest yards, and the fewest touchdowns

0:55:21.280 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 1>zero to opposing tight ends. So this is not and

0:55:25.239 --> 0:55:27.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, they were the six bet tight best

0:55:27.360 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>tight end defense last year by Fantasy points. It's the

0:55:30.080 --> 0:55:32.800
<v Speaker 1>whole thing's dead, including Pop Douglas. You might be tempted

0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to start, We're not going to go there either. So

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:36.840
<v Speaker 1>all the passing game out for the Patriots. Let's go

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to the niner side. A grade on Jordan Mason. He

0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:43.799
<v Speaker 1>leads the league in rushing attempts, and why not. He's

0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:47.000
<v Speaker 1>averaging almost five yards per carry. He's posted the sixth

0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 1>best avoided tackle rate. He's got the fourth highest rushing

0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:54.960
<v Speaker 1>yards over expectation. Patriots are not a bad run defense,

0:55:55.000 --> 0:55:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to be clear, but they've allowed rushing touchdowns in every game.

0:55:57.640 --> 0:56:00.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not a good They're not dominating run defense. The

0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Mason just too much volume. He's too good a grade.

0:56:03.600 --> 0:56:06.640
<v Speaker 2>With the news that Christian McCaffrey is going to Germany

0:56:06.680 --> 0:56:09.760
<v Speaker 2>to get his achilles looked at, does this make Jordan

0:56:09.880 --> 0:56:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Mason League winner a top five runner the rest of

0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the year.

0:56:14.719 --> 0:56:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it absolutely does. Absolutely does. Does anybody

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:21.680
<v Speaker 1>ever go to like some foreign country to have some

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:25.960
<v Speaker 1>procedure that's an illegal in America and come away better

0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:29.080
<v Speaker 1>for it? I mean it's like such a desperation dart throw.

0:56:29.120 --> 0:56:31.799
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't ever seem like it works, like you're going

0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to some shirpa in a yurt in Mongolia because you

0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:37.440
<v Speaker 1>found some guy who's willing to give you the procedure.

0:56:37.719 --> 0:56:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't know, man, I figure like the German

0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:43.320
<v Speaker 2>embassy would be like something you could go to instead.

0:56:43.400 --> 0:56:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that would be me. Yeah, I think absolutely Horse placentis.

0:56:47.840 --> 0:56:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's go Robby, let's go with the past. Let's go

0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:52.799
<v Speaker 1>with the passing game. And I'll start with Brock Party,

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.919
<v Speaker 1>who has look great currently. Pro football focuses quarterback two

0:56:56.160 --> 0:57:01.279
<v Speaker 1>overall seventy two percent completion rate that he's throwing the

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>ball deep down field. He's still completing a ton of passes.

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:06.320
<v Speaker 1>He's got the third and longest average depth of target,

0:57:06.680 --> 0:57:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and those big downfield plays have unlocked gobs of fantasy points.

0:57:11.160 --> 0:57:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Patriots have struggled against Geno Smith and Aaron Rodgers and

0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:16.000
<v Speaker 1>back to back games, and this looks like their toughest

0:57:16.000 --> 0:57:19.440
<v Speaker 1>test yet. I've got a solid B borderline A grade

0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:22.960
<v Speaker 1>on Brock Purty. Juwan Jennings. Now, we got to watch

0:57:23.480 --> 0:57:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Deebo Samuel's status for this game. Now, if Deebo goes

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:29.160
<v Speaker 1>in this game, he only gets a C grade because

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried that he's not going to be one hundred percent.

0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 1>But if Deebo's out, Juwan Jennings back to being a

0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:39.600
<v Speaker 1>solid play like he was last week. Jennings get the

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 1>big uptick in usage and routes, run and plays last week.

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a big body, he's athletic. He wins contested catches.

0:57:46.160 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Jenny runs about half his place from the slot, where

0:57:48.600 --> 0:57:51.280
<v Speaker 1>he would match up against cornerback Marcus Jones, who's allowing

0:57:51.520 --> 0:57:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a seventy three percent catch rate. Again, if Debo comes back,

0:57:55.680 --> 0:57:57.479
<v Speaker 1>then Deebo runs from the slot and they'll kick Jwan

0:57:57.560 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Jennings outside. That would drop Jennings to a crade in

0:58:00.440 --> 0:58:03.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. How about Brandon Ayuk. I get the feeling

0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:05.440
<v Speaker 1>if the Niners could do it again, they would not

0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:08.520
<v Speaker 1>pay Ayuk the money they just paid him. Because Juwan

0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Jennings looks every bit is good and he's practically free,

0:58:11.920 --> 0:58:14.000
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna get a lot of coverage from the Patriots'

0:58:14.080 --> 0:58:17.920
<v Speaker 1>best cornerback, Jonathan Jones, who often shadows opponents' best outside receiver.

0:58:18.200 --> 0:58:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Jones was great last year, allowing only a single touchdown,

0:58:21.320 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and Jones hasn't allowed a touchdown this year so far.

0:58:24.200 --> 0:58:26.880
<v Speaker 1>He's been similarly didn't allow a touchdown last year and

0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:29.400
<v Speaker 1>this year he's giving up just two catches for twenty

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:31.840
<v Speaker 1>nine yards per game in his coverage. I can only

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:34.040
<v Speaker 1>get you to a C grade on Ayuk. Ayuk looked

0:58:34.040 --> 0:58:37.240
<v Speaker 1>like the smash spot last week ended up being Juwan Jennings.

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:40.160
<v Speaker 1>He's looks like George Kittle's gonna go, which is great.

0:58:40.880 --> 0:58:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Excited for him to go. If he can't, you could

0:58:42.440 --> 0:58:44.040
<v Speaker 1>throw Eric Sauberd in again, but.

0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:45.640
<v Speaker 2>He is off the injury report.

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Now, very positive news there. Patriots have allowed the six

0:58:49.080 --> 0:58:53.280
<v Speaker 1>most tight end receiving yards, including getting hammered by Tyler

0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Konklin last week. So Kittle goes, be great on Kittle,

0:58:57.160 --> 0:58:59.680
<v Speaker 1>game on and hopefully that will be the case in

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. One final matchup for this segment, and that's you,

0:59:02.880 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Matt Okay Washington Commanders at Arizona Cardinals, and we got

0:59:06.440 --> 0:59:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to a stage with Jayden Daniels in game number four.

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:10.960
<v Speaker 1>We just go, well, he's an obvious A and we

0:59:11.040 --> 0:59:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just move on with the rest of our matchup.

0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so. He's completed eighty percent of his

0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:19.760
<v Speaker 2>passes this season. He's twenty third in the league in

0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:22.680
<v Speaker 2>passes attempted, but he's been super efficient, sixth in the

0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:25.160
<v Speaker 2>league in yards per attempt at eight point seven yards.

0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:28.120
<v Speaker 2>He's also scored the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback

0:59:28.320 --> 0:59:30.680
<v Speaker 2>and second in the league in rushing yards by a quarterback,

0:59:30.720 --> 0:59:34.000
<v Speaker 2>behind only Lamar Jackson. He's an auto A grade unless

0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:37.200
<v Speaker 2>he plays a heavy hitter of a defense. This Cardinals unit,

0:59:37.240 --> 0:59:42.040
<v Speaker 2>ain't it. Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaurin, he's fifth in the

0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:45.200
<v Speaker 2>league in average depth of target at sixteen point four yards.

0:59:45.880 --> 0:59:48.600
<v Speaker 2>That means he's sixteen yards downfield from the line of

0:59:48.640 --> 0:59:50.640
<v Speaker 2>scrimmage when targets get to him. That's a long way

0:59:50.920 --> 0:59:52.960
<v Speaker 2>is a long way. Problem is he's only had eighteen

0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:55.200
<v Speaker 2>targets in his first three weeks, and I don't know

0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:58.640
<v Speaker 2>if I expect a huge target load this week. It's

0:59:58.680 --> 1:00:01.040
<v Speaker 2>been so easy to run again sins the Cards. Hardly

1:00:01.080 --> 1:00:04.760
<v Speaker 2>any receivers have done anything. Son God managed seventy five

1:00:04.800 --> 1:00:06.840
<v Speaker 2>in a score last week, but that's really the only

1:00:06.920 --> 1:00:10.200
<v Speaker 2>notable game thus far for wide receivers. They're not even

1:00:10.240 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>really getting targeted against Arizona. So I'll give Terry a C.

1:00:13.560 --> 1:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>But I don't feel super enthusiastic about it. And you're

1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>not starting Diami Brown, who's eating into Luke McCaffrey snaps,

1:00:19.720 --> 1:00:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sad about that. Zach Ertz is getting you four

1:00:22.560 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 2>or five targets a game, which means he'll get you

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>four or five receptions per game, and that's a lot

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>in this tight end class really is. It's a revenge

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:32.160
<v Speaker 2>game for him too. But it's the same problem I

1:00:32.160 --> 1:00:34.840
<v Speaker 2>have with McLaurin. No one's passing against the Cards. I'll

1:00:34.840 --> 1:00:37.919
<v Speaker 2>throw a cee here for PPR leagues because he will

1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:40.160
<v Speaker 2>get you four catches, so you got four points plus

1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the ardage For the Runners. Austin Eckler is out with

1:00:43.400 --> 1:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>a concussion, so Brian Robinson is in line for bell

1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Cow usage. He had fifty two percent of the team's

1:00:49.440 --> 1:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>rushing attempts last week while Eckler was still healthy. Bell

1:00:52.960 --> 1:00:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Cow's James Cook and Kyron Williams had decent fantasy days

1:00:56.480 --> 1:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>against the Cards, but the combo of David Montgomery and

1:00:59.480 --> 1:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Jamior Bibbs both had a field day against Zona last week.

1:01:03.520 --> 1:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Both over one hundred total yards, both scored. It's worth

1:01:07.240 --> 1:01:12.040
<v Speaker 2>noting they combined for thirty nine carries. That's so many.

1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>B is for bell Cow and B is for Brian.

1:01:15.960 --> 1:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>On the other side, Kyler Murray, he's getting an A

1:01:18.360 --> 1:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>grade opposing quarterbacks if thrown a touchdown pass against the

1:01:21.120 --> 1:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Commanders nine times this year, most in the league by

1:01:25.200 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a bunch through three weeks. Even Danny Dimes had a

1:01:29.000 --> 1:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>relevant game against this defense, Michael Wilson was charges take

1:01:32.280 --> 1:01:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a chance on me wide receiver and Marvin Harrison an

1:01:35.000 --> 1:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>obvious A grade. I mentioned mclaurin's average depth of sixteen

1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>point four. Well, Marvin is at sixteen point one. That's

1:01:41.280 --> 1:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>sixth best in the league. All nine of the receiving

1:01:44.240 --> 1:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns the Commanders have allowed, they've all gone to wide receivers.

1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Top wide receivers have not failed yet against Washington, Mike Evans,

1:01:52.200 --> 1:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Chris Godwin, Malik Neighbors, Jamar Chase. They all managed at

1:01:56.400 --> 1:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>least twenty PPR points. And Trey McBride is out with

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>a concussion this week, so it's all going Harrison's way.

1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Trey McBride's backup, Elijah.

1:02:08.240 --> 1:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I should know this. Yeah, we're I'm not going there.

1:02:12.400 --> 1:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I had I.

1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Needed to pivot to him in one of my I'm

1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>desperate in some of my boke I've had a pivot

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to him against Thank you, Elijah Higgins. He was heavily

1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>used last week after McBride went out. Look, if you

1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>are desperate, this is a plausible start against Washington, Okay,

1:02:29.080 --> 1:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Hidgen Higgins.

1:02:30.360 --> 1:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh, if it's so easy to pass against Washington as

1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:36.640
<v Speaker 2>James Connor doomed. No, he gets an A grade two.

1:02:36.720 --> 1:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Rashad White, Devin Singletary, Zach moss All had at least

1:02:40.040 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>ninety total yards against the Commanders. Connor should bounce back

1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>after a dismal week against a good Lions d He's

1:02:46.400 --> 1:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. Give him an A.

1:02:48.240 --> 1:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, we need to wrap up for this segment

1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>when we come back. Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts. This

1:02:56.160 --> 1:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Richardson has become one of the trickiest starts. So

1:03:00.200 --> 1:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this week he's facing probably the best defense in the

1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL and he has played badly. We will find out

1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>if you dare put Anthony Richardson in your lineup when

1:03:10.480 --> 1:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. Paul Jarchi and Matt Harrison, Thor and Einstrom

1:03:37.120 --> 1:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>with you. Steelers take on the Colts. We already talked

1:03:40.160 --> 1:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit on the passing game of the Steelers. Thor,

1:03:42.480 --> 1:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the running game. Naji Harris looks like

1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he's sitting on a big workload here. With Jalen Warren

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>ruled out of this game, he.

1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:53.600
<v Speaker 3>For sure is and it looks like Harris will play.

1:03:53.960 --> 1:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>He had his own injury, the right arm injury, but

1:03:56.960 --> 1:03:58.960
<v Speaker 3>withheld him from practice on Wednesday, but he came back

1:03:59.000 --> 1:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>on Thursday.

1:03:59.400 --> 1:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Looks like he's gonna play.

1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>And Harris is averaging twenty plus touches per game had

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>a season high thirteen point six PPR points against the Chargers.

1:04:06.840 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>This is a very good matchup against a bad Colts defense,

1:04:09.800 --> 1:04:12.320
<v Speaker 3>in particular with Jalen Warren out of the game. And

1:04:12.520 --> 1:04:15.840
<v Speaker 3>could that last development there lead to more playing time

1:04:15.880 --> 1:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>for Cordero Patterson. I think that's what ESPN Steelers beat

1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:22.959
<v Speaker 3>reporter believes reporting on Friday the Patterson will likely play

1:04:22.960 --> 1:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>more in this game. Patterson had four carries for thirty

1:04:25.400 --> 1:04:28.200
<v Speaker 3>three yards against the Chargers and three catches on five

1:04:28.240 --> 1:04:31.200
<v Speaker 3>targets for fifteen additional yards. So someone to keep an

1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:33.919
<v Speaker 3>eye on if your roster is injury decimated like most

1:04:33.960 --> 1:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>of ours.

1:04:34.480 --> 1:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And it helps that the Colts are giving up the

1:04:36.240 --> 1:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>second most rushing yards, including two different one hundred and

1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty yard rushing performances against them. Correct, I think Cordaryl

1:04:43.920 --> 1:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Patterson dart throw CE.

1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Dart throw. C. We're giving him at dart throw. See

1:04:49.480 --> 1:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>of course, justin Fields might take a chance at me.

1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Quarterback George Pickens his top wide receiver really his only

1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:57.480
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver there he gets an a wide receiver fifty

1:04:57.480 --> 1:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>and fantasy points per game. But the underlying metrics to

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:02.520
<v Speaker 3>just that a breakout game is imminent for George Pickens,

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>and why not against this terrible Colts defense. Pickens is

1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:09.000
<v Speaker 3>number ten in separation rate and route win rate. He

1:05:09.040 --> 1:05:11.480
<v Speaker 3>has a bonkers two point nine yards per route run

1:05:11.520 --> 1:05:14.040
<v Speaker 3>against single high coverage as you will see throughout this

1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:16.040
<v Speaker 3>game against a Colts defense that loves to run it.

1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Pat Fryermouth given him a B tight end fourteen and

1:05:19.960 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>fantasy points per game, but he's number three and route

1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 3>win rate, and this is another good matchup for him.

1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Indy is allowing the seventh most fantasy points per game

1:05:28.240 --> 1:05:30.600
<v Speaker 3>to tight ends anyone playing against the Colts defense.

1:05:30.600 --> 1:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a good matchup.

1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Moving over to the Colt side, I do believe that

1:05:34.160 --> 1:05:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Anthony Richardson is startable. I'm not giving up on Anthony

1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Richsons okay, and in particular sort of the paradigm that

1:05:39.480 --> 1:05:41.560
<v Speaker 3>we find ourselves in this week, he might even be

1:05:41.600 --> 1:05:44.080
<v Speaker 3>an attractive start for you, depending on the rest of

1:05:44.080 --> 1:05:49.080
<v Speaker 3>your ross. I'm giving him a bee this week, mister Richardson. Now,

1:05:49.080 --> 1:05:51.280
<v Speaker 3>of course he's been QB twenty one and QB thirty

1:05:51.320 --> 1:05:53.280
<v Speaker 3>one in Fantasy the last two weeks.

1:05:53.520 --> 1:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>The struggles through the air.

1:05:54.600 --> 1:05:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Go without saying, he's not even completing fifty percent of

1:05:57.120 --> 1:05:59.560
<v Speaker 3>his passes. And of course you mentioned the Steelers how

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:02.280
<v Speaker 3>good that their defense is. They also have the NFL's

1:06:02.320 --> 1:06:05.080
<v Speaker 3>number two run defense. However, again in lieu of the

1:06:05.120 --> 1:06:08.120
<v Speaker 3>context of this thing, I was looking at advanced metrics

1:06:08.120 --> 1:06:10.080
<v Speaker 3>on this where the Colts do have an advantage on

1:06:10.120 --> 1:06:12.919
<v Speaker 3>the deep passes in this game that is obviously Richardson's game,

1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:15.720
<v Speaker 3>and I think he's going to break a runner two

1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I think in this game against the Steelers on scrambles.

1:06:19.000 --> 1:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna give him a be.

1:06:19.920 --> 1:06:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Again in the context that we're existing and now Jonathan

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Taylor's an obvious mus start gets an a Michael Pittman,

1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>he's the one.

1:06:26.520 --> 1:06:27.840
<v Speaker 1>That really really suffers.

1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Now, yeah, because of the Richardson passings, I'm gonna give

1:06:30.520 --> 1:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>him a C. It's bordering on I'm closer to bench

1:06:33.880 --> 1:06:37.320
<v Speaker 3>than I am to be for Pittman. Anthony richards inconsistency

1:06:37.440 --> 1:06:41.640
<v Speaker 3>short and intermediate is killing Pittman's production, and Pittman overall

1:06:41.680 --> 1:06:42.880
<v Speaker 3>does not seem like a good.

1:06:42.680 --> 1:06:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Fit for Richardson's game. I agree, just as.

1:06:45.120 --> 1:06:47.880
<v Speaker 3>A general sort of comment there, Pittman had four catches.

1:06:48.480 --> 1:06:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, has not had more than four catches nor

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:53.960
<v Speaker 3>thirty six receiving yards in any game this year, zero

1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:56.640
<v Speaker 3>touchdowns so far in this game. Of course, he's going

1:06:56.680 --> 1:06:59.840
<v Speaker 3>to be shadowed by Joey Porter Junior. The not great

1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:03.880
<v Speaker 3>likely needs a touchdown to be to return value in fantasy,

1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:06.080
<v Speaker 3>but I'll give him a seat. I'm gonna keep Josh

1:07:06.160 --> 1:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Downs on the bench here. He's been richardson sort of

1:07:09.000 --> 1:07:11.919
<v Speaker 3>accuracy helper. And you know in his first game Downs

1:07:11.960 --> 1:07:14.919
<v Speaker 3>his first game back, had forty percent design target rate,

1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:17.720
<v Speaker 3>but only one point eight a dot. It's right near

1:07:17.720 --> 1:07:19.840
<v Speaker 3>the line of scrimmage. This is not a good matchup

1:07:19.880 --> 1:07:22.680
<v Speaker 3>for Downs. Steelers have all of the tenth fewest receiving

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:26.080
<v Speaker 3>yards per game to opposing slots. If you're super duper desperate,

1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:29.000
<v Speaker 3>you could try Alec Pierce here again because of the

1:07:29.320 --> 1:07:32.160
<v Speaker 3>thing of the deep balls with the Colts, and if

1:07:32.160 --> 1:07:34.439
<v Speaker 3>your your roster is decimated, I could see you starting

1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>him in deep league, standard leagues. I think you have

1:07:36.440 --> 1:07:38.520
<v Speaker 3>to keep Pierce on the bench, but keep in mind

1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the possibility of a bomb there, and of course he's

1:07:41.360 --> 1:07:43.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna return the value if he does. Twenty five point

1:07:43.960 --> 1:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>two A dot for Alec Pierce so far they year,

1:07:46.000 --> 1:07:48.320
<v Speaker 3>you're saying, yeah, it's it's pray for the home run

1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:51.720
<v Speaker 3>proposition with him here, No Colts tight end is startable.

1:07:51.800 --> 1:07:53.919
<v Speaker 1>So that's all we got for that matchup. Kansas City

1:07:53.960 --> 1:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>takes on the Chargers. Let's start with Travis kelce I

1:07:56.760 --> 1:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>can only get you to a C grade, and honestly,

1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it's only because he's running a ton of snaps, tons

1:08:01.680 --> 1:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of routes run. He's on the field so much you

1:08:04.040 --> 1:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like he's gotta get rolling at some point, hopefully.

1:08:06.440 --> 1:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Chargers have been a middle of the pack tight

1:08:08.840 --> 1:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>end defense so far. The most capable tight end the

1:08:11.400 --> 1:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Chargers have faced so far. Brock Bauers six catches, fifty

1:08:14.480 --> 1:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>eight yards, got it right now. I would love that

1:08:16.680 --> 1:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>from Travis Kelsey. It's like his whole season right now.

1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I've got to be sorry. C grade on Travis Kelcey,

1:08:23.040 --> 1:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Xavier Worthy. Our worst fears have been

1:08:25.840 --> 1:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>realized it's very low volume and nothing to show for it.

1:08:29.760 --> 1:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>When Xavier Worthy doesn't catch a long bomb like he

1:08:32.120 --> 1:08:35.439
<v Speaker 1>did in week one, it's basically he's mvs all over again.

1:08:35.800 --> 1:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>All you know, you could your total total dart throw stuff.

1:08:39.320 --> 1:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Really hard to figure out when when these things could

1:08:41.960 --> 1:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>come together. And after two dud games, I still give

1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>him a C grade here because he's running a lot

1:08:48.280 --> 1:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>of routes second only to Rashi Rice on this team,

1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and the Chargers secondary has only faced Gardner Minshew, Bryce

1:08:55.120 --> 1:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Young and and Justin Fields and they're gonna be without

1:08:58.360 --> 1:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>safety Derwin James, so maybe without their starting safety in

1:09:02.080 --> 1:09:04.759
<v Speaker 1>this game, that does unlock a deep catch for Xavier Worthy.

1:09:04.840 --> 1:09:08.479
<v Speaker 1>So I'm throwing a dart throw sea on Xavier Worthy

1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>in this game. That's it for the receiving portion. Oh,

1:09:11.840 --> 1:09:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Rashi Rice every week A grade. I'm Arashi Rice. We're

1:09:14.560 --> 1:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>at this point now where it's just obviously every week

1:09:18.000 --> 1:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>unless something strange happens. Love Rashee Rice every week. The

1:09:21.320 --> 1:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>six yard slant that he turns into twelve yard games

1:09:24.040 --> 1:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>over and over again all game. We love it for

1:09:26.400 --> 1:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Rashi Rice. Let's go to the running game. Carson Steel

1:09:30.320 --> 1:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>seventeen carries even even thousands of miles separated from Krocky Jay.

1:09:35.720 --> 1:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:09:36.040 --> 1:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Man of Steel, Man of Steel. Uh. He got two

1:09:39.080 --> 1:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>thirds of the workload last week and he ran even

1:09:41.840 --> 1:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>ran more routes than samajip Ran. Was shocked me. I

1:09:44.160 --> 1:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>did not expect that Steel would be really involved in

1:09:46.400 --> 1:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the receiving game at all. He is a bruising, vertical runner,

1:09:50.760 --> 1:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>just a battery ram, and if there's a rushing touchdown

1:09:53.360 --> 1:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to be had, which is not always the case with

1:09:54.760 --> 1:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs, He's probably going to be the guy to

1:09:56.960 --> 1:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>get it. The Chargers haven't allowed a rushing touchdown yet,

1:09:59.880 --> 1:10:02.879
<v Speaker 1>but they've also played three to totally anemic rushing attacks.

1:10:02.960 --> 1:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>They're giving him four and a half yards per carry,

1:10:04.720 --> 1:10:06.439
<v Speaker 1>middle of the pack. It's an opportunity for a C

1:10:06.640 --> 1:10:09.479
<v Speaker 1>grade on Carson Steele. Kareem Hunt's going to be active

1:10:09.479 --> 1:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in this game, and I think he eats directly into

1:10:11.400 --> 1:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>samaj pe Rand's role because they're very similar. They're pass

1:10:14.439 --> 1:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>catching backs, third down backs. I don't think you can

1:10:18.080 --> 1:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>start either one here. P Rand looked got enough use

1:10:21.040 --> 1:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that you could cobble together a start from him last week,

1:10:23.360 --> 1:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>but Hunt, I think daggers him here and they're both

1:10:25.920 --> 1:10:29.479
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. Patrick Mahomes just the C grade I've

1:10:29.520 --> 1:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>only got you. I can only get you that far.

1:10:32.240 --> 1:10:35.439
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about him extensively in this show, so

1:10:35.479 --> 1:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to spend a lot more time on

1:10:37.000 --> 1:10:40.040
<v Speaker 1>it here. But as again Derwin James out, there's gonna

1:10:40.040 --> 1:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>be some opportunities for Mahomes, but I don't love him

1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>here in this matchup. Let's go to the Charger side. JK.

1:10:46.760 --> 1:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Dobbins with a tough matchup. He's been great seven and

1:10:50.400 --> 1:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a half yards per Carrie. What are we talking about

1:10:53.040 --> 1:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>for JK. Dobbins? But this is a tough matchup because

1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:58.519
<v Speaker 1>a good Kansas City run defense that ranks fifth best

1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:02.639
<v Speaker 1>in run defense sixs rate, no opposing runner has topped

1:11:02.680 --> 1:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>forty six yards against the Chiefs. They've allowed the fourth

1:11:06.520 --> 1:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>fewest rushing yards. So I can only get you to

1:11:09.280 --> 1:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on JK. Dobbins, who's been honestly the

1:11:11.640 --> 1:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Cinderella story at the running back position so far this year.

1:11:15.840 --> 1:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>And then for the Chargers the entire passing games on

1:11:17.960 --> 1:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the bench justin Herbert hopes to play through his ankle injury,

1:11:21.439 --> 1:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>but there's warning signs everywhere. Volume a big problem. Chargers

1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>ranked thirty first in pass passing plays. Herbert's three games

1:11:31.000 --> 1:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>have been painfully low on volume and yards. Here's air

1:11:35.160 --> 1:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Bear's average game. Fourteen completions for one hundred and thirty

1:11:42.320 --> 1:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>three yards. That's it. Kansas City's a good pass defense,

1:11:47.280 --> 1:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and no opposition wide receiver has topped even sixty seven yards.

1:11:51.439 --> 1:11:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Elite cornerback Trent McDuffie probably locks up Quinton Johnston because

1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:57.599
<v Speaker 1>he looks like the best of the receivers so far,

1:11:58.080 --> 1:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's a death sentence for Quint Johnson. And who's

1:12:00.320 --> 1:12:02.479
<v Speaker 1>going to lose that battle? Nine times out of ten,

1:12:02.920 --> 1:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I would not chase Johnson's recent success in a much

1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>tougher matchup. All right, final matchup of this segment. We

1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>go to a Monday night game, one of our two

1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Monday night games. If we've got two Monday night games,

1:12:13.960 --> 1:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>is it Monday Night feetball?

1:12:17.840 --> 1:12:18.160
<v Speaker 2>No?

1:12:18.160 --> 1:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>No, let's never do that again. Tennessee takes on the

1:12:21.240 --> 1:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins.

1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Matt will Levis is startable in a thirty two team

1:12:26.720 --> 1:12:29.880
<v Speaker 2>league with a mandatory quarterback starter, but he's not startable

1:12:29.880 --> 1:12:33.519
<v Speaker 2>in most other leagues. He's thrown six touchdown passes this year,

1:12:33.600 --> 1:12:36.479
<v Speaker 2>two of them went to the other team. He has

1:12:36.560 --> 1:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>eight turnovers through three games, and Mason Rudolph could be looming.

1:12:40.200 --> 1:12:43.639
<v Speaker 2>If that keeps up. Miami much easier to run against

1:12:43.640 --> 1:12:46.719
<v Speaker 2>than pass. If you like playing with fire, maybe start

1:12:46.760 --> 1:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. On one hand, one of

1:12:49.880 --> 1:12:51.960
<v Speaker 2>them will end up with seventy of yards in a

1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>score in all likelihood. It's happened to both of them

1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>once in the last two weeks. But what happened to

1:12:56.760 --> 1:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>the other one? In both cases they had one for

1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:05.320
<v Speaker 2>nine yards. Wow, So you're playing with fire. Ridley had

1:13:05.360 --> 1:13:07.479
<v Speaker 2>the stinker last week. He figures to line up with

1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Ramsey most often this week. The best wide receiver matchup,

1:13:11.000 --> 1:13:13.439
<v Speaker 2>by the way, is Tyler Boyd in the slot against

1:13:13.560 --> 1:13:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Cater Koho. But I wouldn't start any piece of this

1:13:16.560 --> 1:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>passing game at all. Tony Pollard was might take a

1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>chance on me runner. Ty J. Spears is a real

1:13:22.160 --> 1:13:24.479
<v Speaker 2>live person, but he's on the bench. He's getting two

1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:27.679
<v Speaker 2>to six touches per game and that's not enough. On

1:13:27.720 --> 1:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins side, who is the quarterback? Skyler dealing with

1:13:31.800 --> 1:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a rib injury that knocked him out of last week's game,

1:13:34.520 --> 1:13:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Tim Boyle came in and completed about half of his throws.

1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Then there's Tyler Huntley, who they signed off the Ravens

1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:43.480
<v Speaker 2>practice squad a week ago. Huntley is the most intriguing

1:13:43.520 --> 1:13:45.560
<v Speaker 2>if you have to start a Dolphins quarterback because he

1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>can run a little just because of the rushing upside,

1:13:48.000 --> 1:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>but he SAPs the value I think of everyone else

1:13:50.200 --> 1:13:53.320
<v Speaker 2>at this moment, I can't advise starting any of these guys,

1:13:53.800 --> 1:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>which also means you are benching Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle.

1:13:58.880 --> 1:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm with the Waddle. All I need Hill to do

1:14:01.200 --> 1:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>is catch a bubble screen, break a tackle, and run.

1:14:04.240 --> 1:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm keeping Hill in my lineups. But

1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you on Waddle.

1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:10.120
<v Speaker 2>The problem is he managed only three catches for forty

1:14:10.160 --> 1:14:12.880
<v Speaker 2>yards last week, and that was with Skuyler and Boyle

1:14:13.360 --> 1:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>in a passing game script where they lost by three

1:14:15.960 --> 1:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns Like that would be where you get the bubble

1:14:19.280 --> 1:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>screen to Tyreek Hill. It didn't work. Plus, the Titans

1:14:22.240 --> 1:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>pass defense is good.

1:14:23.280 --> 1:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Well that was also well, well, that is true. The

1:14:25.120 --> 1:14:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Titans defense is sneaky gut.

1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have yet to allow a wide receiver to

1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:31.759
<v Speaker 2>top seventy yards, and not one wide receiver has scored

1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>against them through three games. Devon Ahchan, he still gets

1:14:35.360 --> 1:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>a B grade. Though Raheem Mostert still limited. They'll probably

1:14:38.360 --> 1:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>hold him out for another week, which should mean Belkow

1:14:41.040 --> 1:14:44.599
<v Speaker 2>status for eight Chan. Again, the Titans have been beaten

1:14:44.640 --> 1:14:47.040
<v Speaker 2>by running backs through the air, an area where a

1:14:47.240 --> 1:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Chan excels. Three different backs have scored passing touchdowns in

1:14:51.360 --> 1:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the last two weeks. Breise Hall, who I think we

1:14:53.680 --> 1:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>give a similar pedigree to in the passing game, he

1:14:56.280 --> 1:14:59.040
<v Speaker 2>had seven catches for fifty two yards, and eight Chan's

1:14:59.080 --> 1:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>already had seven catches in a game twice this year,

1:15:02.080 --> 1:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>so I like him with a B grade.

1:15:03.520 --> 1:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Here, let's take a break. When we come back premature speculation,

1:15:08.680 --> 1:15:11.800

1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Time Machine Premature speculation Matt Harrison who said people pick

1:16:57.120 --> 1:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>up this week that will also going to be trying

1:16:58.920 --> 1:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to pick up next week.

1:17:00.560 --> 1:17:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be Jameis Winston. Oh because the

1:17:05.520 --> 1:17:08.479
<v Speaker 2>current QB Browns hasn't hit the two hundred yard mark

1:17:08.560 --> 1:17:11.599
<v Speaker 2>in any game this season and only has three passing

1:17:11.640 --> 1:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns in the first three weeks. The Browns, by the way,

1:17:14.479 --> 1:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>haven't topped eighteen points in a game yet. There's also

1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>a few legal things that have come up in the

1:17:19.920 --> 1:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>past couple of weeks against him. Compare this bad start

1:17:25.439 --> 1:17:28.840
<v Speaker 2>for Cleveland to the backup quarterback of the Browns last year,

1:17:28.920 --> 1:17:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco, who started six games, had multiple touchdowns in

1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:35.960
<v Speaker 2>five of six and passed for over three hundred yards

1:17:36.000 --> 1:17:39.120
<v Speaker 2>in five of six, Kevin Stefanski. He's a good offensive coach.

1:17:39.200 --> 1:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>You can get a lot out of the quarterback position.

1:17:41.560 --> 1:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Watson just doesn't care anymore, and Winston will be up

1:17:46.120 --> 1:17:48.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe this week, maybe next week.

1:17:48.800 --> 1:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Thorn Eistrom, your premature speculation player, is the wide receiver

1:17:52.400 --> 1:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>one for his NFL team, Tomio Pop the douglast Okay

1:17:57.479 --> 1:17:58.120
<v Speaker 1>love Pop.

1:17:58.800 --> 1:18:01.280
<v Speaker 3>There's also flashing knee signs here that Pop will have

1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:04.599
<v Speaker 3>some level of sustained production going forward, even if the

1:18:04.640 --> 1:18:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Patriots quarterback play doesn't improve.

1:18:06.920 --> 1:18:07.559
<v Speaker 1>A whole lot.

1:18:07.880 --> 1:18:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Last week, Pop had nine targets, he cut seven of

1:18:10.320 --> 1:18:14.160
<v Speaker 3>them sixty nine yards against the Jets. Seventy percent routes

1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:17.000
<v Speaker 3>here and forty five percent first read share in that game,

1:18:17.200 --> 1:18:20.360
<v Speaker 3>by far the highest of any Patriots wide receiver that week.

1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:23.760
<v Speaker 3>He finished wide receiver twenty six in fantasy. Douglas has

1:18:23.760 --> 1:18:27.719
<v Speaker 3>as many receptions as the next two highest Patriots receivers combine,

1:18:28.040 --> 1:18:30.439
<v Speaker 3>and nearly triple as many yards as the next highest

1:18:30.439 --> 1:18:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Patriots wide receiver. Ceiling, of course, is cap by the

1:18:33.120 --> 1:18:36.320
<v Speaker 3>offensive feeble passing attack, et cetera. But the Patriots need

1:18:36.360 --> 1:18:39.400
<v Speaker 3>to generate efficiency on offense, and the only way that

1:18:39.439 --> 1:18:41.559
<v Speaker 3>they could do that outside of try to force the

1:18:41.560 --> 1:18:43.920
<v Speaker 3>ball to Henry, is for Pop Douglas to be a

1:18:43.960 --> 1:18:46.679
<v Speaker 3>primary conduit in that this might be your last shot

1:18:46.720 --> 1:18:49.000
<v Speaker 3>to get Douglas for free. The forty nine ers have

1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:52.080
<v Speaker 3>allowed the most yards to slot wide receivers this season,

1:18:52.520 --> 1:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>and again, the only other guy they throw to is

1:18:54.120 --> 1:18:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Henry, but in part because of large part because

1:18:56.600 --> 1:18:58.919
<v Speaker 3>of Fred Warner, the forty nine ers of race opposing

1:18:58.920 --> 1:19:00.920
<v Speaker 3>tight ends. So the only the guy the Patriots throw

1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:02.519
<v Speaker 3>to is Pop Douglas, and I don't think they're gonna

1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:03.679
<v Speaker 3>be throwing to Henry in this game.

1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I gave him a bench grade, but it was only

1:19:05.880 --> 1:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>only because against the Jets, you don't want to throw

1:19:08.800 --> 1:19:11.120
<v Speaker 1>against these outside corners that they've got, you know, Reed

1:19:11.280 --> 1:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and Sauce Gardner. So that's why I figured they went

1:19:13.880 --> 1:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to the slot a lot. But Pop's the best and

1:19:16.200 --> 1:19:18.360
<v Speaker 1>most reliable of the guys they have. I just wish

1:19:18.439 --> 1:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have three slot receivers. kJ Osborne involved sometimes,

1:19:23.240 --> 1:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but Pop's the best, is the best and most reliable

1:19:25.320 --> 1:19:28.599
<v Speaker 1>of the group for sure, Matt. We could have gone

1:19:28.640 --> 1:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with Joe Flacco, by the way, as my premature speculation,

1:19:31.600 --> 1:19:34.160
<v Speaker 1>because Joe Flacco could end up in could end up

1:19:34.160 --> 1:19:35.639
<v Speaker 1>in this game at some point.

1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that there's a chance that the Colts

1:19:39.040 --> 1:19:42.080
<v Speaker 2>are gonna bail on Richardson after what his you know,

1:19:42.320 --> 1:19:43.160
<v Speaker 2>his fifth.

1:19:42.880 --> 1:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>That would be a tough game in his career, well seven,

1:19:46.320 --> 1:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>He's had seven starts, five full games. You know, here's

1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the scenario, is he's playing the best defense in the league. Yeah,

1:19:52.000 --> 1:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>he throws a couple of early picks, and you just go,

1:19:53.800 --> 1:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what, We're gonna let you. We're gonna let

1:19:55.240 --> 1:19:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you sit for a little bit. We're gonna let you

1:19:56.680 --> 1:19:59.599
<v Speaker 1>learn from a seasoned veteran. You're gonna watch how Joe

1:19:59.680 --> 1:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>flack go puts together a game plan. Blah blah blah

1:20:02.120 --> 1:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. There's a scenario where they just feel like

1:20:04.800 --> 1:20:07.519
<v Speaker 1>the best thing for Anthony Richardson is to learn from

1:20:07.560 --> 1:20:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the bench. We call that the Bryce Young the Bryce

1:20:09.680 --> 1:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Young treatment could be coming his way. And Shane Steichen

1:20:12.960 --> 1:20:15.160
<v Speaker 1>is on the hot seat. His team's one and two.

1:20:15.200 --> 1:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>They squeaked out that one win last week. Yep, there's

1:20:18.040 --> 1:20:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a scenario where Shane Steiken's like, I'm not going down

1:20:20.120 --> 1:20:23.719
<v Speaker 1>with the ship on Anthony Richardson completing forty nine percent

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:25.719
<v Speaker 1>of his passes because we're gonna lose too many games.

1:20:26.040 --> 1:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's one scenario. The other guy, though the guy

1:20:27.880 --> 1:20:30.120
<v Speaker 1>planned to talk about Roshawn Johnson, I already talked about

1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>him in this game, DeAndre Swifts. We're starting running back

1:20:32.280 --> 1:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. Roshan I think his next man up.

1:20:35.080 --> 1:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to our matchups store Seattle Seahawks taking on

1:20:38.080 --> 1:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the Detroit Lions. Nobody talking about the three and oh

1:20:40.280 --> 1:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Seattle Seahawks. Enough right, Yeah, let's start with the running game.

1:20:43.600 --> 1:20:45.360
<v Speaker 1>We don't yet know it's a Monday night, or we

1:20:45.400 --> 1:20:47.880
<v Speaker 1>don't yet know if Kenneth Walker's gonna go in this one,

1:20:47.880 --> 1:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>which makes it a little bit thorny.

1:20:49.520 --> 1:20:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's been out with that oblique injury that he

1:20:51.400 --> 1:20:54.640
<v Speaker 3>suffered in Week one. He's being officially listed as questionable,

1:20:54.920 --> 1:20:57.600
<v Speaker 3>and while Walker did return to practice on Thursday, was

1:20:57.640 --> 1:21:00.679
<v Speaker 3>as a limited participant, same thing on Friday.

1:21:01.040 --> 1:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Not terribly promising.

1:21:02.520 --> 1:21:05.439
<v Speaker 3>If he goes, I would give him Asy and Charbonne

1:21:05.520 --> 1:21:09.000
<v Speaker 3>a see if if Walker does not go, Charboney gets

1:21:09.000 --> 1:21:12.559
<v Speaker 3>a B in this one. On volume alone, last two games,

1:21:12.600 --> 1:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Charbonney is averaged ninety percent of the offensive snaps taken

1:21:16.040 --> 1:21:19.240
<v Speaker 3>by Seattle and average twenty touches in eighty eight total

1:21:19.320 --> 1:21:22.040
<v Speaker 3>yards per game. He ranked RB six and Fantasy points

1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:25.000
<v Speaker 3>per game during that stretcher. He gets that volume bu

1:21:25.160 --> 1:21:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Gino Smith can to give him a B as well.

1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Quarterback thirteen in Fantasy right now. Recent success in this scenario,

1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:35.360
<v Speaker 3>you guys recall last September, the Seahawks had that wild

1:21:35.360 --> 1:21:38.599
<v Speaker 3>thirty seven to thirty one overtime win in Detroit, and

1:21:38.640 --> 1:21:41.040
<v Speaker 3>you beat this Lion's defense through the air, of course,

1:21:41.400 --> 1:21:43.400
<v Speaker 3>so Seattle's game script is going to call for plenty

1:21:43.400 --> 1:21:44.960
<v Speaker 3>of passes on that fast track.

1:21:45.000 --> 1:21:45.479
<v Speaker 1>He gets a B.

1:21:46.040 --> 1:21:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Dk Metcalf is the obvious start at an A and

1:21:48.960 --> 1:21:51.519
<v Speaker 3>is on pace for his best career season seventeen two

1:21:51.560 --> 1:21:55.120
<v Speaker 3>sixty two two line through three games so far.

1:21:55.400 --> 1:21:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I love Ryan Grubb, Yes all, it's a coordinator and

1:21:58.720 --> 1:22:01.599
<v Speaker 1>the Bears gonuper I'm guessing their decision to pick up

1:22:01.600 --> 1:22:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Shane Walla super sharp.

1:22:02.600 --> 1:22:04.599
<v Speaker 3>But maybe you should have been the Washington Huskies choice

1:22:04.600 --> 1:22:06.320
<v Speaker 3>to be their next head coach. But yeah, and said,

1:22:06.360 --> 1:22:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Seattle gets to profit off that. Tyler Lockett, I'm gonna

1:22:09.400 --> 1:22:11.439
<v Speaker 3>give him a seat. He had the great game last week,

1:22:11.479 --> 1:22:13.960
<v Speaker 3>of course, but my supposition is that Jackson Smith and

1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:16.479
<v Speaker 3>Jigba returns to the clear wide receiver two in the

1:22:16.479 --> 1:22:19.000
<v Speaker 3>passing attack this week. That's why Smith and Jigbos might

1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:21.360
<v Speaker 3>take a chance on me guy. This is a decent

1:22:21.400 --> 1:22:23.920
<v Speaker 3>matchup though, of course for all the receivers there. Detroit

1:22:23.960 --> 1:22:27.839
<v Speaker 3>has allowed the ninth most PPR points to boundary wide receivers.

1:22:27.920 --> 1:22:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Detroit secondary starting three new guys there. That's

1:22:30.840 --> 1:22:33.200
<v Speaker 3>something that you can exploit no offense. You got to

1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:34.760
<v Speaker 3>keep him on the bench. Even though he had six

1:22:34.800 --> 1:22:37.720
<v Speaker 3>catches for sixty receiving yards last week, hasn't done much

1:22:37.720 --> 1:22:40.719
<v Speaker 3>outside of that. Was also a limited participant in practice

1:22:40.720 --> 1:22:42.920
<v Speaker 3>on Friday with a toe injury, keep him on your

1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:46.320
<v Speaker 3>bench unless you're desperate, and he's ultimately active. Flipping over

1:22:46.320 --> 1:22:49.200
<v Speaker 3>to the Lions side, Jared Goff gets to see slow

1:22:49.240 --> 1:22:52.080
<v Speaker 3>start for him this season, only quarterback twenty four right

1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:56.040
<v Speaker 3>now in fantasy. There's some pessimism surrounding that Detroit offense

1:22:56.160 --> 1:23:00.000
<v Speaker 3>right now. Sportsbooks have adjusted the totals down this game

1:23:00.080 --> 1:23:01.439
<v Speaker 3>totals only in the mid forties.

1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:03.439
<v Speaker 1>We've been seeing in the mid fifties and touch like that.

1:23:03.920 --> 1:23:04.120
<v Speaker 2>See.

1:23:04.200 --> 1:23:07.479
<v Speaker 3>The Seahawks also have a nasty pass defense. They've allowed

1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:11.200
<v Speaker 3>the second lowest epa per drop back in the NFL. Goff,

1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:12.880
<v Speaker 3>if I have better options, I would keep them on

1:23:12.920 --> 1:23:14.360
<v Speaker 3>the bench, but I'm gonna give them a seat because

1:23:14.360 --> 1:23:16.479
<v Speaker 3>there's very few viable options out there in the NFL

1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:19.400
<v Speaker 3>right now. David Montgomery also gets to see he's OURB

1:23:19.520 --> 1:23:22.599
<v Speaker 3>ten and fantasy points per game, averaging almost twenty touches

1:23:22.800 --> 1:23:25.240
<v Speaker 3>ninety five total yards per game. You have to play

1:23:25.280 --> 1:23:27.800
<v Speaker 3>them on volume, but Seattle's run defense has gotten a

1:23:27.840 --> 1:23:31.040
<v Speaker 3>lot better over the offseason into this year, fourth highest

1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:34.120
<v Speaker 3>stuff rate in the NFL, and the underlying metrics suggests

1:23:34.120 --> 1:23:37.479
<v Speaker 3>that Motgomery has lost maybe half a step, maybe a

1:23:37.560 --> 1:23:39.719
<v Speaker 3>quarter step not quite as good as in years past.

1:23:39.960 --> 1:23:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Jamior Gibbs is the must dark guy there gets the

1:23:42.240 --> 1:23:45.000
<v Speaker 3>a only one less touch inside the five yard line

1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:47.600
<v Speaker 3>this season than Montgomery had to point that out, and

1:23:47.960 --> 1:23:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Gibbs has also surpassed one hundred scrimmage yards in consecutive games.

1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Amon ra Saint Brown, of course another A and must start.

1:23:54.600 --> 1:23:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Jamison Williams is gonna give him a seed coming off

1:23:57.120 --> 1:23:59.160
<v Speaker 3>a down game, and this is not a good matchup

1:23:59.160 --> 1:24:02.240
<v Speaker 3>against that fearsome Seahawks pass defense. Seattle's giving up the

1:24:02.280 --> 1:24:05.599
<v Speaker 3>second few is wide receiver points in Fantasy last one.

1:24:05.640 --> 1:24:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Sam Laporta, he is, of course a must start, and

1:24:08.400 --> 1:24:10.439
<v Speaker 3>he's an A left last week's game with the low

1:24:10.479 --> 1:24:12.320
<v Speaker 3>ankle springs. I just wanted to give a brief update

1:24:12.360 --> 1:24:16.040
<v Speaker 3>on that return to practice as a full participant on Friday.

1:24:16.120 --> 1:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Great signs, we have great sign.

1:24:17.960 --> 1:24:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Likely indication that he's playing, and this is a good

1:24:20.200 --> 1:24:23.920
<v Speaker 3>matchup Seattle. That cornerbacks are great, and they're great, you know,

1:24:24.080 --> 1:24:27.040
<v Speaker 3>at mitigating the wide receivers, but they struggle against opposing

1:24:27.080 --> 1:24:30.400
<v Speaker 3>tight ends. The aforementioned Hunter Henry remember his eight catch,

1:24:30.439 --> 1:24:33.000
<v Speaker 3>hundred nine yard explosion in Week two that came against

1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:33.680
<v Speaker 3>the Seahawks.

1:24:33.720 --> 1:24:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, I like that angle Laporta is killing fantasy owners.

1:24:37.800 --> 1:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>We need a big game here, Yes, I hope you're

1:24:39.760 --> 1:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>right with that A grade. The Sunday night football game

1:24:42.120 --> 1:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is Buffalo at Baltimore. Great game shaping up Josh Allen

1:24:45.280 --> 1:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>obvious A grade in an MVP caliber season. Let's talk

1:24:48.800 --> 1:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>about some of his receivers, including Khalil Shakir. Loved him

1:24:53.680 --> 1:24:56.639
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. Touchdowns in two of three games. Currently

1:24:56.640 --> 1:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus is twelfth highest graded receiver. Khalil Shakier

1:25:01.040 --> 1:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>has been targeted fourteen times, fourteen catches. Baby, oh love it.

1:25:05.080 --> 1:25:08.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the year at Boise State. Well am I missing? Well? Well,

1:25:09.120 --> 1:25:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the team itself has been doing great. Oh yeah, there

1:25:12.200 --> 1:25:15.360
<v Speaker 1>we go. He's fifth in yards after the catch. He

1:25:15.360 --> 1:25:17.559
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna match up in the slot. They actually use

1:25:17.560 --> 1:25:19.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different defenders in the slot. Use Marlin humph

1:25:19.479 --> 1:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>for the use Kyle Hamilton, but both those guys are

1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>struggling unusually. Kyle Hamilton's great, but he's allowing an eighty

1:25:25.479 --> 1:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>seven percent catch rate and an a post passer rating of

1:25:28.160 --> 1:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty four. So game on for Khalil

1:25:31.360 --> 1:25:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Shakir with a B grade. Keon Coleman scored a touchdown

1:25:35.240 --> 1:25:38.439
<v Speaker 1>last week, but note that was his only target of

1:25:38.479 --> 1:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the game, and he goosegged you the week before that.

1:25:41.360 --> 1:25:45.439
<v Speaker 1>He has seen declining routes run in every game, down

1:25:45.479 --> 1:25:49.639
<v Speaker 1>to just eleven routes last week. Khalil, Sorry, Keon Coleman

1:25:49.720 --> 1:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. Curtis Samuel disaster here, only averaging a

1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>couple of catches per game and his average target three

1:25:56.720 --> 1:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>yards downfield. Yeah, you can't get anything done on that.

1:25:59.360 --> 1:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Matt Collins actually more startable than Samuel or Coleman, but

1:26:03.320 --> 1:26:05.760
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't not get his starting grade here either. You

1:26:05.800 --> 1:26:07.719
<v Speaker 1>know who does and is sitting out a big game.

1:26:08.120 --> 1:26:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Kincaid, Yes, I think this is a big ee comment.

1:26:11.080 --> 1:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Ravens allowed the second most tight end receptions twenty three already,

1:26:15.680 --> 1:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that's seven and a half per game, and the Ravens

1:26:18.240 --> 1:26:22.559
<v Speaker 1>allowed the second most tight end yards ninety three per game.

1:26:22.760 --> 1:26:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Love this, yes, And it's not like the Ravens have

1:26:25.240 --> 1:26:28.960
<v Speaker 1>played Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez in their prime. The

1:26:29.000 --> 1:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>tight ends against them have been Jake Ferguson, Brock Bauers,

1:26:32.200 --> 1:26:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Noah Gray, and they're still giving up all this. I

1:26:34.880 --> 1:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>got an A grade on Dalton came fully healthy after

1:26:38.800 --> 1:26:40.439
<v Speaker 1>getting nicked up in the week one and that was

1:26:40.560 --> 1:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>affected him in Week two as well. James Cook is tricky.

1:26:44.720 --> 1:26:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Four touchdowns the past two weeks, and that's a great

1:26:47.160 --> 1:26:49.559
<v Speaker 1>sign for a player who hadn't been seeing the end

1:26:49.680 --> 1:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>zone regularly throughout his career until now. But this is

1:26:52.600 --> 1:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a very difficult matchup against a Ravens team allowing the

1:26:56.920 --> 1:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>fewest rushing yards per carry just two eight and they

1:27:01.280 --> 1:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>rank sixth best ten yards after contact. No opposing runner

1:27:05.320 --> 1:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>his top forty five yards against the Ravens now In fairness,

1:27:09.360 --> 1:27:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the only good runner they've seen was Isaiah Pacheco in

1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the opener, but he only got three yards per Kerry two.

1:27:13.400 --> 1:27:15.519
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a very good run defense C grade

1:27:15.560 --> 1:27:18.120
<v Speaker 1>on James Cook. All right, let's flip it over to Baltimore.

1:27:19.240 --> 1:27:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson gets an A grade now. Buffalo Steymied has

1:27:22.600 --> 1:27:24.680
<v Speaker 1>stemied all the quarterbacks they faced through the air, and

1:27:24.680 --> 1:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>there's a really good pass defense Kyler Murray Tua before

1:27:28.640 --> 1:27:30.160
<v Speaker 1>they knocked two out of the game. And then there

1:27:30.160 --> 1:27:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was Trevor Lawrence and they shut him down. He ultimately

1:27:32.360 --> 1:27:33.960
<v Speaker 1>had to get left the game just because it was

1:27:33.960 --> 1:27:37.000
<v Speaker 1>out of hand, but Kyler did run for fifty seven yards,

1:27:37.200 --> 1:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and Jackson remains an A grade even if gets a

1:27:40.000 --> 1:27:43.160
<v Speaker 1>very good secondary. Dereck Henry is an obvious A grade

1:27:43.320 --> 1:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>most weeks, including this one, although this is a good

1:27:46.000 --> 1:27:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Bills run defense but not elite, and Henry gets a

1:27:48.680 --> 1:27:51.320
<v Speaker 1>full head of steam going in this one. Zay Jones

1:27:51.520 --> 1:27:53.840
<v Speaker 1>just a C grade. The path of least resistance is

1:27:53.880 --> 1:27:55.519
<v Speaker 1>on the ground, and I think we're gonna see a

1:27:55.520 --> 1:27:58.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of Dereck Henry here and Zay Jones has to

1:27:58.160 --> 1:28:01.800
<v Speaker 1>go up against Rasul Douglas and kri Benford. Those cornerbacks

1:28:01.800 --> 1:28:04.120
<v Speaker 1>are great. They haven't allowed a touchdown and they're giving

1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:07.439
<v Speaker 1>up less than a fifty percent reception rate. And as

1:28:07.479 --> 1:28:09.800
<v Speaker 1>we talked earlier in the show, these Baltimore tight ends

1:28:09.800 --> 1:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>are on the bench until we get more clarity and

1:28:12.080 --> 1:28:15.639
<v Speaker 1>more use out of these guys. They're seeing declining use.

1:28:15.720 --> 1:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>And only John hus Smith in garbage time and a

1:28:18.160 --> 1:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>garbage time of a blowout game his top thirty yards

1:28:21.040 --> 1:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>against Buffalo. There you go. We snuck it off games.

1:28:25.880 --> 1:28:28.360
<v Speaker 1>We get bye weeks next week, good games we get, Yeah,

1:28:28.360 --> 1:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>we get some bye weeks. We'll get to talk about

1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:32.360
<v Speaker 1>fewer games for a little bit longer.

1:28:32.840 --> 1:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>We get a London game next week, London, and get

1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:35.880
<v Speaker 2>what does that mean?

1:28:36.040 --> 1:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Colin McCartney's coming, Ackney making his return next week. You'll

1:28:39.880 --> 1:28:43.440
<v Speaker 1>want to stay tuned for that. Fantasy Football Weekly continues
