6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: today are Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. I think it

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: was you guys last week too. I'm getting sick of

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you two. Why are we gonna work some fish back

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: into the mix? Sounds like you're coming up on lent yea.

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: It does sound like I'm coming up online plenty to

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: get to. Over the course of the show, we will

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: give you premature speculation at the end of the show

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: when we reveal the three players you want to pick

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: up now that everybody else will be trying to pick

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: up next week. We'll answer three tough questions. We will

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: take a chance on me with nine players not normally

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: in your starting line up, many of whom are available

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, which is extra important this week

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: because we have a surprise bye week surprise with the

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: Steelers and the Titans um and this looks like this

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: will count as their one by week and you know

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: we knew going into the season they're gonna be situations

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: in which you just had to be a nimble, flexible

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: owner and league, and it's already upon us. It only

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: took four weeks, and now you get to we get

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: to find out who's who's got a deep roster, who

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: can work the waiver wire, who can find free agents?

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: As a guy who just traded for Derrick Henry this

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: week to the guy I'm playing against. From the guy

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: playing against, he's laughing all the way at me. That's

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: that's delicious. Right before the Titans obviously tested positive for covid, um,

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you know your your league is not going to be

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: able to have rules in place for every possible scenario.

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: But what we were looking at when we thought this

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be a Monday or Tuesday makeup, why is um,

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: what do I do? If you know? Do I leave

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry my starting lineup and just hope that the

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Monday game happens or the Tuesday game happens? And you

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: didn't know for sure? And one of the better ideas

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: that I saw get floated around Twitter, and I think

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: it was Ryan McDowell that I saw who did it

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: said it first. Was have a provisional player designated in

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: case that guy doesn't go. Um, and I think that

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: would have made sense here where you would have said,

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: all right, i'm starting Derrick Henry, but if he does

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: not go, I'm rewinding it back to this guy who

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: hasn't played yet. Yeah, and I think that you should

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: stipulate it's if that game isn't played, it's not. It's

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: not if Derrick Henry all of a sudden comes up

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: lame and he's, oh, my hamstring hurts, I'm not playing today.

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: It's the whole game is called off right. I thought

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: that was a good way, a good way to handle it. Um,

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: there's myriad different scenarios here. We just encourage you to

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: be flexible, be fair, and don't be like I got

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: a I got a guy in my league who's just

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: trying to turn everything to his advantage and trying to

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: wind his way into carrying a bunch extra play. Don't

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: do that. Let's let's jump into the man you want

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: to name names chart, Yes, I do want to name

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: names calling out let's go, let's do it. I'm not

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: doing it. Uh. Let's begin breaking down the matchups one

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: game at a time. Beginning with a real barn burner

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at Cincinnati, which actually kind of is a barn

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: burner in years passed. This was dreadful, but there's a

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: lot of players from both sides you can go with here. Yeah,

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: the battle of the Kitty Cats. Let's go James Robinson

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with for Jacksonville gets an A grade.

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: I think so week one. I admittedly kind of called

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: him a warm body as the starting running back for Jacksonville,

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: but I've been way off. I apologize, James Robinson, you

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: get the A. The Bengals have allowed these second most

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: rushing yartists and running backs and have yielded the third

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: most touches to the position in gold. You got scenarios.

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Love James Robinson here with three ground scorers already twelve

75
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: in rushing yards among running backs, third and receiving yards.

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Just an absolute jackpot so far for anyone who has

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: him on roster and who did the good times will

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: keep rolling this week against the Bengals. D J. Chark

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: likely to play this week, Yep, I'm gonna give him

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: a CE here. He's been limited with the chest injury

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: that held him out last week, but he should play.

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: The Bengals are actually bottom seven and targets heeld to

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: what targets he yielded to wide receivers, meeting not a

84
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: lot of targets he looked to wide receivers and have

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: only allowed two scores to the position. Secondary is pretty good,

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: William Jackson, particular corner or just the running defense is

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: so bad. They're finally to the past Noon Loan wide

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: out is it seventy five receiving yards seventy five receiving

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: yards against since the yet, but Chart could get there

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: if healthy. Gonna give him the C. For the other receivers,

91
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: Lavishka Chenult and Keelan Cole, I'll start with Keelan Cole,

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: who's turning to a sneaky safe PPR play from the slot.

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Fellow seemster Greg Ward had eight catches, seventy two yards

94
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown against the Bengals last week, So I'm

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: giving Cole a C. Got a bench. Chenult though, super

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: exciting player, but super dangerous to start and see them

97
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: with formats. If Chark somehow doesn't go all up, all upgrade,

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna go. Yeah, So I got Chennault on the bench.

99
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Now that brings us to Tyler Eiffert. In the revenge game,

100
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends have blown up the box score against

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Chargers tight ends total ten targets for six

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: catches eighty three yards. Eagles tight ends thirteen catches for

103
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, thirteen targets for ten catches and ninety two yards.

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: That is Hunter, Henry and zach ERTs for the most part.

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffert not those guys. But hey, since he let

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: him walk and this is a supposed shootout, so I'm

107
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: giving him a sea here and Gardner Minshew given him

108
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: a b no chart killed him last week. His left

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: tackle was also ejected early. Did not bode well for Minshew.

110
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: But onward and upward with Gardner. Don't forget he has

111
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: wheels as well. Carson Rent Carson Wentz ran for sixty

112
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: five yards and a score against Since he last week,

113
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: I think Minshew's a safe b uh in a high

114
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: scoring affair or what or what should be a high

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: scoring affair. Now over the Bengal side, Joe Mixing brutal

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: beginning to the season for him, but I'm gonna go

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: to bat for him. The Cincinnati offensive line is thirty

118
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: in adjusted line yards, and those remove the ability of

119
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: the running back basically, and what the opportunity that the

120
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: line presents to the running back. Thirty in adjusted line yards,

121
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight and second level yards, and thirty first in

122
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: open field yards. He's doing it all on his own.

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Still has touched to roles of and nineteen. Gotta keep

124
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: rolling with Joe, especially against jackson Ville, who are allowing

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: a hundred forty combo yards and a touchdown per game

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: to end the running backs. Doesn't it feel like this

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: is the breakout game for the season for Mixing, It's

128
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna come. This happened last year. It's basically the same script,

129
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: very slow starting. Uh, he'll get it going and come on,

130
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: he's got He's got Joe Burrow behind him or in

131
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: front of him, I should say, but we'll talk about

132
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: him in a minute. To the receivers, Tyler Boyd, he

133
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: gets to be the Bengals, I'm sorry. The Jaguar is

134
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: only allowing a hundred thirteen yards pretty game to wide

135
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: receivers as a whole, but only one receiver has cracked

136
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: seven yards against him. That was Paris Campbell running from

137
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: the slot and Adam Humprey has had a good game

138
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: from the slot as well, five catches for forty yards

139
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. So Tyler Boardy gets a b uh

140
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: sees for Tee Higgins and a J. Green, and I

141
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: like te Higgins more than a J. Green at this point.

142
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Higgins played the snaps last week, saw nine targets. He

143
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: ran the most pass routes of any wide receiver on

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: Burrows dropbacks. He gets the c i'lso give a J.

145
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: Green one as well. Just thirteen catches for a hundred

146
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: and sixteen yards across three games. But all those targets

147
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: you just figures sooner or later Burrow, if he's gonna

148
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: keep throwing that many passes to a J. Green sooner

149
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: or later, they're gonna connect. Yeah, and then then the

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: rust has to get knocked off at some point. Like

151
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: you said, the target totals nine, thirteen and six. Those

152
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: are healthy enough. Yeah, So a J. Green gets the start.

153
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Drew sample though everyone's favorite waiver wire wire Darling on

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: a on the waiver wire last weekend from a tight

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: end perspective, one target last week oops, he ran thirty

156
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: four routes on fifty two of Burrows drop backs. Not

157
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: looking like c j Uzoma in terms of reliable fantasy producer,

158
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: he's on the bench, and then Joe Burrow lastly, but

159
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: not leastly, an A. This is a real stat. Jacksonville

160
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: owns an opponent completion percentage of as the next highest

161
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: teams like seventy one big games by every quarterback to

162
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: face Jacksonville. Ryan fits Pastrick, Ryan Fit's Patrick just through

163
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns and gash them on the ground. So

164
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow gets an A this week. Joe Burrow right

165
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: now in most fantasy leagues roughly quarterback ten in fantasy

166
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: points scoring. I mean, that's what do you guess? And

167
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: this is first three NFL games. He's the real deal.

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Holy Field, what's what's the borough garbage time named? Brian?

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: Are your workshopping that one yet? I'll go back to you,

170
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, Indianapolis takes on Chicago. I've got just

171
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: a couple of starters on the Indianapolis side, and it's

172
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: primarily Jonathan Taylor's. You could guess a heavy usage day

173
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: coming here. Probably Taylor faces a Bears defense that has

174
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: allowed running back to score against them in seven straight games. Taylor,

175
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: of course getting heavy, heavy usage UM although in Chicago's

176
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: defense in home games, they've allowed one one hundred yard

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: rusher in their last twenties six Soldier field games. That's it,

178
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know if the Taylor gets to one

179
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards here, but a score is likely. The only

180
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: other starting grade I've got is for emerging tight end

181
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: mo Ali Cox with a see it's in part because

182
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell and Michael Pittman have been ruled out of

183
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: this game, and that means Ali Cox is gonna get

184
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: that many more looks. And he's posted Fantasy relevant games

185
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: and back to back weeks, and he outsnapped Jack Doyle

186
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: last week, and it looks like he's gonna be the

187
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: designated pass catching tight end a little bit like Eric

188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: Ebron was a few years ago. So he'll be back

189
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: in the mix. Here bears the middle of the packet

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: defending tight ends. They're giving up five receptions for forty

191
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: two yards per game. The rest of the the rest

192
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: of the Colts are on the bench. Even t Y Hilton,

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: aside from Calvin Ridley, receivers have been rendered useless against Chicago.

194
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: They're the only secondary that has not given up a

195
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: single touchdown to wide receivers. And this despite the fact

196
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: that he's had these easy, easy matchups every week rolling

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: into this game, he still hasn't scored. He's averaging forty

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: four yards per game, and he's had all these plus matchups.

199
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: So now here's a bad matchup. So putting him on

200
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: the bench more like t Y Wilton. I like it.

201
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: I will, by the way, I'm going with Burbish times

202
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: so bad alright, last thing on hilt and he's gonna

203
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: face an elite cornerback and Kyle Fuller, who's yielding just

204
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: passer rating of forty two in his coverage, is playing

205
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: very well as he often does. Nahem, heines way to random.

206
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is playing this sort of safe non fantasy

207
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: ball where he's completing a high percentage of his passes

208
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: without challenging downfield. Is our average yards per paths for

209
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers six point nine, the same as Teddy Bridgewater.

210
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: That's it. As a result, he's thrown just one touchdown

211
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: in every game and provides basically no upside. Let's go

212
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: to the Chicago side, where we've got a handful of

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: starting grades, and that is it. David Montgomery clocks in

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: with the c Tariko and his out so he's gonna

215
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: get almost all the work, but the matchup is difficult.

216
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: The Colts have allowed the eighth fewest rushing yards and

217
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: the fewest total touchdowns to opposing running backs. Just one

218
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: no posing back his top sixty three yards and that

219
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: includes Dalvin Cook, who is way better than David Montgomery.

220
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: So just to see grade on Montgomery here. The only

221
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: receiver I like is Allen Robinson. I think the quarterback

222
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: upgrade to Nick Foles will certainly help get this. Only

223
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: forty seven percent of Allen Robinson's targets from from I

224
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: was about to say, what are we gonna do with this?

225
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: I need to do a trombone like. I gotta trombone Ski,

226
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: I really do. I'm just find ways to work him

227
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: into the matchups going forward. Of Allen Robinson's targets from

228
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: sad Trombone Ski were deemed catchable by Pro Football Focus.

229
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: That's it can't even give you a coin flips chance

230
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: at a catchable pass. So the upgrade to Nick Foles

231
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: should certainly help here. Colts have allowed the third fewest

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: yards to receivers um and Robinson plays from all over

233
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the field, which usually helps, but the Colts have got

234
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: solid cornerbacks at every spot, including the resurgent Xavier Rhodes,

235
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: just the b on Allen Robinson. Nick Foles is on

236
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the bench. I know he was heroic last week, but

237
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: he's been very inconsistent over his career and this is

238
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: a tough matchup against Pro Football focuses number one ranked

239
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: path defense. They've allowed the fewest passing yards by a mile,

240
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: and I don't like any of his receiving matchups other

241
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: than Alan Robinson, Anthony Miller, Darnell Moody. That was our

242
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: spot starter guys against bad defense, as we are not

243
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: going up against the Colts solid secondary here with them,

244
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Graham is also on the bench. The Colts

245
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: have allowed the fewest yards to tight ends. It was

246
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: just picturing Trubisky trying to flip a coin and edicine

247
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: envision struggle. I think he I think he'd managed to

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: have the coin not hit the ground. That's I think

249
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: that's that would be the problem, no doubt. Up anti

250
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: gravity coins. An anti gravity coin. There you go. Me's

251
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: a Fantasy football weekly coin. When we come back, we'll

252
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: talk about the Chargers in a tough matchup against the

253
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and the Bucks shorthanded in this game. What to

254
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: expect from those players? And nine players upon whom you

255
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: can take a chance. These are players not normally and

256
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: you're starting lineup, many of whom are available on the

257
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: waiver wire. We will tell you who they are. For

258
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,440

Speaker 1: me and I would take it over the song we

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: just heard Somebody step on a duck take a poop

276
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: on Me by Odell Beckham. Let's begin at the quarterback position.

277
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Who's you take a chance to me? Quarterback Brian Matt

278
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: Stafford at home against the Saints who are now going

279
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: to be without starting corners Genores Jenkins and Marshawn Lattimore.

280
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: You gotta love Stafford even more the healthy Kenny Golladay

281
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, and unlike last season, you gotta

282
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: love the matchup against the Saints, who have surrendered passing

283
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: touchdown totals of two, three and three to start the season.

284
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: They are bottom nine and passer rating allowed, with a

285
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: one oh eight passer rating allowed to opposing quarterbacks. And really,

286
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: when you think about it, there haven't been many games

287
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: with a healthy Stafford, Golladay, Marvin Jones and t J. Hockenson.

288
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Hockinson was injured early last year, like in Week two,

289
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: and uh Stafford got hurt mid season. So not Stafford.

290
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: I might give him an a grade in this matchup

291
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: might number ten ranked quarterback this week? Matt, who is

292
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: your take a chance of me? Quarterback? I mean in

293
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: a week where you have a surprise bye week for

294
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Tannehill. You might need to pick

295
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: up a guy like Teddy Bridgewater and start him. Uh.

296
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: The Cardinals is his opponent this week, and they faced

297
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: off against Garoppolo, Stafford, and Haskins, who all put up

298
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: eerily similar numbers all right around thirty three passing attempts,

299
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty yards and two scores. Well, Bridgewater, he's

300
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: averaging two nine passing yards this year. Yes, it was

301
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw for that eight yards at a time. To

302
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: fifty and two seems very doable for Teddy Bridgewater. I

303
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: think you can bank on that in this matchup. Might

304
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: take a chance to me. Quarterback is stew Beard. Yes,

305
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, you may remember last week when I recommended

306
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: that you start him, and because we got you, you

307
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: gotta pick your spots with him right when you've got

308
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: these when you know he's gonna throw a lot. Love

309
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: the yolo stylings of Ryan Fitzpatrick, and this is one

310
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: of those spots. The Seattle defense ranks dead last in

311
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: completions allowed, dead last in passing yards allowed, dead last

312
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: and pass rush by Pro Football Focus. Meanwhile, the run

313
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: defense ranks. Second, May's not gonna run the ball. They're

314
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: just gonna throw stew Beard's arm out of socket. And

315
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: you want a part of that. Isaiah Ford, by the way,

316
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: sneaky deep play in this in this why wouldn't you

317
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: use them and take a chance to me later in

318
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: this N one comment? Wow, but he is a sneaky

319
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: deep play, all right, Brian, who's you take a chance

320
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: of Mere? Running back? Yeah, we're not done picking on

321
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: the Seattle secondary just yet in this segment. But not

322
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: yet running back Latavius Murray, I'm staying in Motown. On

323
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: the other side, though, for the Saints going up against

324
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Lions once stout run defense has gone

325
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: from proud to cowardly. They're allowing six plus yards per

326
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: carry and am good. Yes, Alvin Kamara is in god

327
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: mode right now. But Murray has at least twelve carries

328
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: in two of three games and has caught a pass

329
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: in back to back week so he will be serviceable

330
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: in Detroit this weekend. Matt, who's your take a chance

331
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: of Mere? Running back? Well, there's death, there's taxes, and

332
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: there's running backs against Carolina. Three things. I'm not going there.

333
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: There are also death taxes. That's true. They will tax

334
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: you into the grave. Uh, well, you can run away

335
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: from this because Chase Edmonds is the guy that you

336
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: want to start. Last year, the Panthers allowed almost two

337
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: running back touchdowns per game. This year, they've allowed seven

338
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: running back touchdowns in three weeks. So if we carried

339
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: the nine, that's more than two. Oh my god, there

340
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: worse somehow. Kenyan Drake is still the bell cow, but

341
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: hasn't been totally amazing yet, averaging only four point one

342
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Edmonds is averaging about six touches per game.

343
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: But at five point four yards per carry that the

344
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Panthers are giving up, that's still thirty yards right there

345
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: to start, and we're gonna get more because there's no

346
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: reason to pass against the Panthers when you can run.

347
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: So I think, I think, actually Kenyan Drake is just

348
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: gonna get tired in this game, and Chase Edmonds is

349
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to hop in. Uh. You guys, remember Zack Moss,

350
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: one of my favorite sleepers from the preseason. No, this

351
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: is your chance, this is your last chance to buy

352
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: him on the cheap. Right here. Last week we saw

353
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: a rookie breakout performance is from Justin Jefferson, Brandon I U. P. Higgins.

354
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: These rookies that are now a month in that's this

355
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: is like their preseason has just happened. Now they're ready

356
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: to hit the ground running. Zack Moss, as you may recall,

357
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Week one, scored a touchdown, Week two, got hurt, Week

358
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: three didn't play. Here we were into week four and

359
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: he faces Las Vegas, the team that has allowed the

360
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running backs. They ranked thirty first

361
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: in yards per carry at six yards per carry. Mosses

362
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: in line to get goal line carries ahead of Devin Singletary,

363
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have allowed multiple rushing touchdowns to every

364
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: opponent Moss can catch, and the Raiders have allowed the

365
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: most receiving yards and the second most receptions to running backs.

366
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Both he and Devin Singletary sitting on nice games. Ryan,

367
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna take a chance of your receiver. Let's get

368
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the aforementioned Seattle secondary. This is

369
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: not a drill. These are real statistics. That Seattle has

370
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: allowed two wide receivers so far this season seven the

371
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: six catches. The next highest total among teams who have

372
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: played three games is forty seven. Cheez. The Jets have

373
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: allowed the third most the next worst team with fifty

374
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: and they played on Thursday night, So that's four games.

375
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: Next yards allowed to wide receivers by the Seahawks one thousand,

376
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty six in three games. Yes, Denver

377
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: is the next highest, who played four games with seven

378
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four. I'm gonna pick on the secondary

379
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: way more when we get into the matchup. That's all

380
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: you need to know about Preston Williams. Get him in

381
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: your lineup, and probably Isaiah Ford like you mentioned as well, Matt.

382
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Your take a chance of me receiver is Marquez Valdez scantling,

383
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: excellent pronunciation. Alan Lazard suddenly out indefinitely after undergoing core

384
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: muscle surgery on Thursday. Uh Davante Adams is still very

385
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: questionable at the hamstring injury. They're saying that he practiced

386
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: in a limited fashion. But it's a it's a Monday

387
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: nighter right before their bye week. Why wouldn't they save him?

388
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: Which means m VS is the number one wide receiver

389
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: in Green Bay and he's playing against Atlanta, that same

390
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: Atlanta team that has allowed five different wide receivers. To

391
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: top ninety yards already this year. Yep, I will pick

392
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: him up and start him all right. I am going

393
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: with Randall Cobb. He plays the slot receiver position for

394
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: Houston and they go up against Minnesota. Cobb coming off,

395
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: by the way, an impressive game against these Steelers, a

396
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: much better defense yards in a score. But we're not

397
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: just chasing that box score because he has a juicy

398
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: matchup against an injury battered Vikings secondary missing its slot

399
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: cornerback Mike Hughes. He has been ruled out. His replacement

400
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: last week was rookie Jeff Gladney, who allowed one hundred

401
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty yards from the slot, including a sixty one yard play.

402
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: He has allowed a passer rating of one twenty one

403
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: in his coverage this year. Randall Cobb an excellent pickup

404
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: and play opportuney dy for you. Uh. Let's go to

405
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: some matchups, beginning with the Chargers taking on the Bucks.

406
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Matt The Charges are all kinds of banged up, including

407
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: missing their two best offensive linemen. Yeah, Brian Bulaga and

408
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: Trey Turner both ruled out for this game, so I

409
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: didn't even know about that as I was making these

410
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: matchups up. So I downgraded all of my guys a

411
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: full letter grade. I took Keenan Allen from an A

412
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: to a B. UH nineteen targets last week versus Carolina

413
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: ten ten targets the week before. That's double digs and

414
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: every Justin Herbert start right there. I still like him

415
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: as a B grade, but with Bulaga and Turner out,

416
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Herbert's can have less time to throw. Hunter Henry taking

417
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: him from a B to s C hasn't scored yet,

418
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: but eight eight and seven targets, five six and five catches,

419
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: and he's topped fifty yards every week, so that's pretty solid.

420
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: Mike Williams has a hamstring injury. He looks more doubtful

421
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: than the questionable tag Uh and Jalen Guiton looks like

422
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: the next man up, but you're not crazy enough to

423
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: start him. I took Justin Herbert from a SE grade

424
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: to bench. He has thrown for three hundred yards in

425
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: each of his first two starts, which is pretty impressive.

426
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: It's very impressive now in Tampa allowed six of the

427
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: first nine quarterbacks they faced to top the three yard mark,

428
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 1: but in the ten games since then, including this season,

429
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: they've only allowed two quarterbacks to top the three yard mark.

430
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: They've only faced Breeze Bridgewater and the Broncos quarterbacks this year.

431
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: But I just don't like it for Herbert in this one.

432
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Austin Ekeler, though. I'm gonna keep Austin

433
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: Ekeler at an A grade. While Tampa has been really

434
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: good against the run since Todd Bowles arrived, they're very

435
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: weak against pass catching backs, ranking in the bottom four

436
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: in the league in receptions and yards allowed through the

437
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: air to running backs. Eckler caught all eleven of his

438
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: targets last week. That's pretty good. And if he's if

439
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Herbert's rushed this week, he's gonna be ditching off to

440
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: Ackler the whole game. I don't know. I still an

441
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: A grade. I want somebody to be able to run

442
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: the I want my running back to be able to

443
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: run the ball. If he's got an A grade, he's

444
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: gonna catch fifteen balls in this game out. I hope

445
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: I got a solution to throw a minus in there,

446
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: not a not a solution, as you like to call it.

447
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Josh Kelly on the bench though, because ecler

448
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: was on the field for seventy of the plays last

449
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: week and out rushed Kelly twelve to eight. He's simply

450
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: a change of pace back in the Herbert offense. Let's

451
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: go over to the Bucks side. Uh Leo and Roe Joe.

452
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: I got him both on the bench. The good news

453
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: what yeah really? Yeah? Okay, four nets out and so yeah,

454
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: four nets out that he's he's his head coach said

455
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: he does not expect him to play. Okay, Well, then

456
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: Rojoe is probably a star. Let's let's go with that.

457
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: It's a tough it's not an easy matchup. Yeah, it's

458
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: not an easy matchup. But two of the Bolts front

459
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: four now on I r with Ingram and Sustin Jones,

460
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are allowing four point four yards per

461
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: carry over their last twenty games. Now, my my bench

462
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: grade was they're splitting time almost evenly. But if Leonard

463
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: four Nett is now out, Ronald Jones probably gets sixteen

464
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: to twenty touches in. This is officially out of officially,

465
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: but the better it looks for Rojoe, the worst it's

466
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: going to be. I'm sure Keyshawn Vaughan is the guy

467
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: who comes into this game and gets sixteen. All right,

468
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady see start. Since the beginning of last year,

469
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers are one of the best in the league

470
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: against the past, allowing under only two sixteen passing yards

471
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: and just over a score per game. And Brady will

472
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: be without Chris Godwin and this one who's feeling his

473
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: hamstring again and it's not feeling good. Mike Evans. I'm

474
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: giving a B two uh. Cornerbacks Michael Davis and Casey

475
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: Hayward have done a spectacular job against the posing wide

476
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: receivers this season, holding everybody but Tyreek Hill to under

477
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, and Hill was the only one who

478
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. Evans did garner ten targets and top

479
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: two hundred yards in the other game when Godwin didn't play,

480
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: and he's always a threat near the stripe, as evidenced

481
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: by his two catches for two yards and two touchdowns

482
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: last week. One of the strangest lines ever receiver. Yes, yeah,

483
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Scottie Miller. He's on the bench, justin Watson to the

484
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: bench to Miller has more targets on the season than Godwin,

485
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: but has only seen the field on of the snaps,

486
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: and when Godwin was out, Watson had the Miller's a

487
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: game time decision. So I don't think you're gonna want

488
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: a monkey without against a good secondary. And O. J.

489
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Howard and Gronk, they're both on the bench. According to

490
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: Evan Silva, among tight ends, Gronk is twenty eight in

491
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: the league and routes run and Howard is thirty five.

492
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: So if you're only running about fifteen to twenty routes

493
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: a game, that's not enough to get fifteen to twenty targets.

494
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: It's not even enough to get five targets. So they're

495
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: they're both on the bench. All right, New Orleans, We're

496
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna try to fit in one more matchup New Orleans

497
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: takes on the Lions're we've already talked about some of

498
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: these players in a certain amount of detail. Here, this

499
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: is a there's an injury battered Saints. UH Saints team

500
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. Michael Thomas officially ruled out, as is

501
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Jared Cook. So they're both on your bench. But let's

502
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: start with Alvin Kamara real quick, easy, a second in

503
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: receptions and fifth in receiving yards among everyone. Yeah, not

504
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: running backs. Everyone. Opposing backs have only total eleven catches

505
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: against Detroit so far, but that's about to change. And

506
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: Detroit has also allowed the third most rushing yards and

507
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: running backs uh, so smash spot for Alvin Kamara. Latavius

508
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Murrios might take a chance, I mean running back for

509
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: that same reason. Detroit's run defense is just abysmal at

510
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: this point. As we just mentioned, Michael Thomas out, Jared

511
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: Cook out, so I'm giving Emmanuel Sanders a B here.

512
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Desmond Truffont unlikely to make his season debut for the Lions.

513
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Uh Sanders was dreadful in Las Vegas in Week two,

514
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: but had touchdowns in the two other games, had a

515
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: season high and catches and yards last week, but only

516
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: on five targets. Kind of troubling, but no no Cook

517
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: now and Thomas is still out. He gets it, he

518
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: gets a B and have to throw to him, right,

519
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Gonna have to throw to him and and to tra

520
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Kuan Smith. He's see more targets with Thomas sideline totals

521
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: of seven and six and again it's a good matchup.

522
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: The lines are allowing five farts per game during five

523
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: yards and more than a touchdown per game allowed to

524
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: wide receivers by the Lion so B for track Kuan Smith,

525
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman, if you're in super deep tight end lead

526
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: to tight end, only lead me. He might be viable,

527
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: but he's not. And Drew Brees I had to see.

528
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna might throw a minus on that one charge.

529
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Sorry he could he could say he looked better last

530
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: week with Kamara, but I'm sorry, but Camar did all

531
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting. Uh that's not It's a decent matchup.

532
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: But he's very short on weapons on this one. So

533
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: just to see for Drew Brees over to the Lions side,

534
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay gonna give him a safe be Alan Lazard

535
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: went nuclear last week and an injured um Mike Evans

536
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: score against New Orleans in Week one. Genor Jenkins is

537
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore is not an A? What is? What is it?

538
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Why would he not be? Because they just got ruled out.

539
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: I forgot to change my note, So he's in A.

540
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: He's actually an A plus now. Marvin Jones my number

541
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: one ranked wide receiver this week. Yeah, you did a plus. No,

542
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: he did an A and got a Marvin Jones. I

543
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: guess I'll bump up to a B now. I had

544
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: a meta ce mild success for secondary receivers against the Saints.

545
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: But again everyone's hurt. So be for Marvin Jones. And

546
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: before the quarterback news, I t J. Hockenson with my

547
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: highest graded path catcher too. Oh yeah, well, Darren Waller

548
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: sat on a monster game against Detroit twelve catches, I'm

549
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: sorry against New Orleans twelve catches, a hundred and five

550
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Robert Tonyan had five for fifty

551
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Even O J. Howard scored a touchdown

552
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: the aforementioned piece of garbage by Matt So Hockinson gets

553
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: an A and Matt Stafford might take a chance to

554
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, He's take a chance on me. He's an

555
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: A grade now, he's a great He's not even taking

556
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like I took an easy lay up there.

557
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: I think you did too. To be honest, that wasn't

558
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: even that wasn't even difficult. That's the pot calling the

559
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: kettle black church. What are you talking about? What do

560
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: you mean? I give you what's paws the Seahawks. That's

561
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: a great matchup alecent of leagues. That is that is

562
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: that is an absolutely lay up? Is Zack Moss. Let's

563
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: be real. People are dropping, people are dropping Zack Moss,

564
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: which is crazy talk crazy. When we come back, Houston

565
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: takes on Minnesota team with a lot of defensive problems. Actually,

566
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: both teams have got defensive problems. There's a lot of

00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul charchy in, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you.

576
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: You can follow us respectively. I am at Paul Charge

577
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: and you'll have to just figure out how to spell it.

578
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: It's not that hard. It's it really spelled how it

579
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: sounds arg. Matt Harrison is at Explosive Output and Brian

580
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Johnson is at B T x J. That's easy to

581
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: spell and well, as long as you hear the T

582
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: is a T and not a D. By the time

583
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: you know I say it goes through my Mike through

584
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: the processing on your speaker in your car with road noise,

585
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: pos are going to be like p d x Q,

586
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: what's that Brian toilet xylophone Johnson, that's what That's what

587
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: it stands for. Knowing for all of those things. The

588
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Houston Texans will meet on Sunday. Dalvin

589
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: Cook sitting on potentially a gigantic game here. Texans have

590
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: allowed the most rushing yards, the second most yards per carry,

591
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: and the third most rushing attempts to opposing backs. And

592
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: this is really what the Vikings are all about. It's

593
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: just establishing the run and then finding spots for Kirk Cousins.

594
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Vikings are all about. Well

595
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: we know of Mike's Mike Zimmer wants his offense to

596
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: look and that is how he wants it to look.

597
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: So Dalvin cooks an easy A grade. The passing game

598
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: clocks in with starting grades for Kirk Cousins, a positive

599
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: matchup for almost all of his receivers, including his tight ends.

600
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: Um he won't have the volume for a massive day,

601
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: but one of two touchdowns as possible here, so he

602
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. And now let's talk about some

603
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: of those positive matchups, including Adam Feeling now over the

604
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Theland has been quiet um a couple

605
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: of weeks ago because he was getting double coverage in

606
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the last week because they basically just throw to Justin Jefferson.

607
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: I expect a bounce back game of sorts here, but

608
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: he likely gets shadow covered from Bradley Roby, who follows

609
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: top receiver even into the slot where they can sometimes

610
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: hide theeling but don't confuse Bradley Roby with a shutdown corner,

611
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: and he used to be a quasi shutdown guy, but

612
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: he's not anymore, and he's giving up a passer rating

613
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: of one twelve in his coverage, So advantage Feeling b

614
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: grade next. Justin Jefferson with a breakout game last week,

615
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: including a career high fifty one snaps on offense, and

616
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: that'll continue after he broke Randy Moss's single game rookie

617
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: receiving record. Jefferson should primarily face off against slack cornerback

618
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: Eric Murray, who gave up a score last week did

619
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster and is giving up four inches and

620
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty pounds to Jefferson, who might just out muscle him

621
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: for contested catches. Justin Jefferson gets a B grade. Let's

622
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: go to the Houston side. They've played the toughest schedule

623
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: in football by a mile, and by some measures, the

624
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: toughest opening three games in the history of the NFL.

625
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: They've actually been competitive, they have, which is kind of

626
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: been surprising. Yes, Deshaun Watson gets an A grade in

627
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: this on two of the three quarterbacks to face the

628
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: Vikings of top three hundred yards against their rebuilt, inexperienced secondary.

629
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: The Vikings pass rush has been mostly invisible and Daniel

630
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: Hunter is not ready to play yet. Even though he's

631
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: eligible to come off i Arch, he will not. All

632
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: three of Watson's receivers have plus matchups against their cornerback counterparts,

633
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: and let's dive into them right now. Will Fuller expected

634
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: to play despite a mid week hamstring injury. You want

635
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: to watch his status though hamstring injuries. They'll warm him

636
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: up before the game, they'll verify he can go. Hopefully

637
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: he will. Minnesota has yielded five scores to opposing wide receivers,

638
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: which is tied for second most. Fuller most frequently runs

639
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: from the left side of the field, which puts him

640
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: up against disaster grade cornerback Holton Hill, who Pro Football

641
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: focuses ranks as cornerback one hundred four. I am guessing

642
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: most listeners would not have guessed that there are one

643
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: D and four cornerbacks in the NFL. He has a

644
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: significant fuller, has a significant speed advantage over any of

645
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings cornerbacks. Assuming he goes, you will give him start.

646
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: He is a B grade. He would be an A

647
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: grade were it not for the hamstring. Brandon Cooks gets

648
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: a B grade. Uh he's I wish you'd get more

649
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: than the five targets per game. Um, but man, he's

650
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: got a terrific matchup on both outsides of the field.

651
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: Vikings cornerback Cameron Danceler is likely to come back in

652
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: this game, but he's still very inexperienced, and Cooks has

653
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: the massive speed advantage over Danceler. I think you can

654
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: give him a B grade. One other starter. And by

655
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: the way, Randall Cobb again was might take a chance

656
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: on me wide receiver, love him in the slot this game.

657
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: Jordan Aikins, you're in a pinch for a title, and

658
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: you had my guy John U. Smith, or maybe you

659
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: had Eric Ebron. You need to pivot. Jordan's Aikins has

660
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: posted two relevant fantasy games in three weeks despite the

661
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: brutal Houston schedule. He now gets a Vikings defense that

662
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: has allowed big games to mo Ali Cox and the

663
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: afore mentioned John new Smith. Then, lastly, David Johnson hasn't

664
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: done much yet that could change here A grade for

665
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Minnesota's a lot of rushing touchdown to the

666
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: last five starting running backs they faced. Johnson was obviously

667
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: limited by Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and those are really good

668
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: run defenses. The Vikings run defense is graded thirty feet

669
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. This is a far better matchup

670
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: and David Johnson goes back to being an A. Let's

671
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: go to our next matchup, which is Arizona taking on Carolina.

672
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: Matt We're looking at a game time decision status on

673
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, I had him listed as an A grade.

674
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: It's now downgraded to a B because of the game

675
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: time situation. Um, it's a good matchup for him if

676
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: he does go a hundred and seventy six yards per

677
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: game to the wide receiver position allowed by the Panthers.

678
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: That's bottom five in the league. So Hopkins, he's he's

679
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: their best option. Christian Kirk still nursing a groin injury,

680
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: and Andy Isabella and Larry Fitzgerald. You just can't trust

681
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: those guys enough in this situation. So I got all

682
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: of those guys on the bench. I do have Dan

683
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: Arnold on the bench as well. Sorry, Brian, uh. He's

684
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: only averaging three targets, actually less than three targets and

685
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: under two receptions per game. That's just not enough. But

686
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: maybe everybody being injured on the wide receiver front gives

687
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: Brian Dan Arnold moment to shine. This is it, This

688
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: is it. He's still better than Gronk. This is the

689
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: one um check the tape in the sets. I'm still

690
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna give Kyler Murray and a grade. He's throwing for

691
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: about two sixty per game. The Panthers are giving a

692
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: giving up about two six per game, so that's a

693
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: solid floor in the passing game. Plus everything he does

694
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: in the running game is just gravy here. And then

695
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: I did mention that I like Chase Edmonds as might

696
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: take a chance on me runner, So I obviously like

697
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake to who also gets an A grade. Although

698
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: it's worth noting that the Cardinals were the only team

699
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: that the Panthers held to under fifty five rushing yards

700
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: last season, when they held David Johnson and Edmonds to

701
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: fifty two rushing yards combined. Still, I don't believe it.

702
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: And if you can't give Kenyan drake An a grade now,

703
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: when can you? There's no other time? Well, this is it,

704
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: this is this is it. On the other side, the Panthers,

705
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm giving Mike Davis a b Let it be known

706
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: that the Panthers stick with one running back at all times.

707
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: Davis had twenty one touches to Reggie Bonafon's too last week.

708
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: Uh and since the beginning of the Cards are allowing

709
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: just under one yards per game to opposing backs. But

710
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: another forty seven yards through the air. That seems like

711
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: a bankable hundred totally yards for Mike Davis and this

712
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: one and probably a shot at a touchdown. I talked

713
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: about Teddy Bridgewater as might take a chance and met quarterback.

714
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: I will add that Cardinal safety Buddha Baker is out

715
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: for this one too, which makes him a little bit

716
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: more interesting. And I do like his wide receivers. I'm

717
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: giving both d J Moore and Robby Anderson b grades

718
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: each are averaging just over eight targets per game. One

719
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: is getting nine three yards, the other eighty. That's both good.

720
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: We've been a little disappointed from the scoring output so far,

721
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: and the like I said, the Cards have allowed a

722
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: ton to the wide receiver over the last nineteen games,

723
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: seventy five total yards. Speed receivers such as Terry McLaurin

724
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: and Kenny Golladay each had nice days against this secondary.

725
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: So I like Robbie a little bit better than DJ.

726
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: But the more breakout is coming soon and it's going

727
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: to be furious. This might be our last chance to

728
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: get DJ more at a discounted price. Finally, Ian Thomas,

729
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: really I got him on the bench we assume, so, yes,

730
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: maybe three games isn't enough of a trend, but there's

731
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: two working against Thomas. First, he's averaging one point three targets,

732
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: and second, the terrible Cardinals tight end defense is suddenly

733
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: not so terrible. They've only allowed one score on the

734
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: season and only fifty three yards per game to the position. Alright,

735
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Seattle takes on in Miami. We've already talked about a

736
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: bunch of players in this game. Because so many opportunities

737
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: to score with these bad defenses. Let's start with Seattle.

738
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: I know the air game is way more interesting, but

739
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: we've got drama at the running back position. Chris Carson

740
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: looks like a game time decision. After the cow Boy Tristan,

741
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: somebody tried to wrench his leg out of socket. Yeah,

742
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: that was pretty bad. That's pretty bad. The crocodile roll,

743
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: the crocodile, the old crocodile role. What do you think

744
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: about trying to start Chris Carson here? Yeah, I was

745
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: all set to give Carlos Hide solid be here. So yeah,

746
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: as you said, Carson a game time decision. Now, Pete

747
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: Carroll says it's a good chance he suits up. So

748
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: if they let him play, I'm gonna give Carson the

749
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: B and if he sits, then then Hide gets the B.

750
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: It's that simple. If Carson plays, you cannot play Hide.

751
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: Now there's a scenario out there, a worst case scenario

752
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: where Carson's active. We all assume he's gonna get carries.

753
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: But they decided to play it safe and use Hide

754
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: as their starter and just keep Carson waiting in the wings.

755
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: If that, but I think it's a chance you have

756
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: to take with Carson. That is against Miami, who is

757
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: allowing a healthy four point six yards per carrying a

758
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown per game to back, so they've also they've

759
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: also surrendered the seventh most receiving yards of the position,

760
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: nearly sixty yards per game. So whoever guess the majority

761
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: of carries here? Touches here is in a line for

762
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: a good bell cow day. But uh well, let's say

763
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 1: a B for Carson again. If he doesn't go hide

764
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: gets a B. Who doesn't get a B? Or Tyler

765
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and DJ Metcalf. Miami's allowing a hundred ninety

766
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: yards per game to wide receivers seventh most could be

767
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: without their best cornerback Byron Jones. Lock It has seven

768
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: catches in every game coming off the touchdown hat trick.

769
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf has four catches in every game, for nine

770
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown, yards in a touchdown, and a

771
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: hundred ten yards in a touchdown too. He got leon leaded.

772
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Imagine if he gets five catches in a game, what

773
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: could he do? We're probably gonna find out on Sunday.

774
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, speaking of scrambling for tight ends, I'm on

775
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: the fence here tended to give him a c in

776
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 1: a likely shootout and a homecoming game for the former

777
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricane, but Miami Miami has allowed just eight catches

778
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: for a hundred two yards to tight ends. That being said,

779
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: those tight ends are Ryan Izzoh, Reggie Gilliam, Dawson Knocks,

780
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy, and Tyler Eiffort. I only know Tyler Eifford

781
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: is basically Dawson Knox. So Greg Olson, if you're super desperate,

782
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: give him a go. I'll give him a sea here

783
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson. Come on, that's an easy a over

784
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: to the Miami side. You're missing one receiver. David Moore

785
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: is one of my sneaky favorite plays of this week.

786
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: Why I mean, he's the starting outside receiver on the

787
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: best arguably the best passing offense in the NFL so

788
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: far this year. Byron Jones is out as the cornerback

789
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: for Miami. That means Xavian Howard, who will follow Guys,

790
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: is going to follow DK Metcalf on the outside. That

791
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: means David Moore is gonna get rookie cornerback Noah big

792
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: Binogginy Bigog and he is allowing a passer hundred thirty

793
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: six in his coverage and two scores already, and he's

794
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: not even a starter. He's already given up two scores.

795
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: He's profo. Bill focuses ninety drank running back David bar

796
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: you're sneaky play. I like that. I think that's more

797
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: of a DFS dart than a seasonal plug in play.

798
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: But there's potential there for sure. Um potential is there

799
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: for Miles Gaskin. Now, I'm even a B and PPR,

800
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: but a see if you're still playing standard leagues, because

801
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Jordan's Howard is always a vulture threat, as bad as

802
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: he is, but Gaskins is a universal starter now twenty

803
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: seven touches against Jacksonville last week had five catches. He

804
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: totaled ten catches in his two games prior, when you're

805
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: seeing less work. Seattle has allowed the sixth most catches

806
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: to running back. So I'm liking gasking a lot here

807
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: in this potential shootout. And you have to like the

808
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers for Miami against Seattle. We mentioned the massive

809
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: numbers are allowing in catches and yards. I want to

810
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: extrapolate those really quick. So on a sixteen game pace.

811
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are gonna allow four hud five catches. Last

812
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: year the most a lot it was two hundred and forty.

813
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: By the Bucks, they're on pace allows six hundred or

814
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: six thousand, fifty nine yards. The most last year was

815
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: three thousand, one hundred and seventies six. Also buy the books.

816
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: That's why President Williams was like, take a chance for

817
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: me a wide receiver. Ryan It's Patrick was would take

818
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: a chance in the quarterback and Mike Kasicki was gonna

819
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: give him a seat. But he gets a b now

820
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: that Jamal Adams has been ruled out for Seattle, so

821
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: safety for Gassicky it's gonna be a point orgy and

822
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: stuff beach baby. By the way, Gassicki runs more slot

823
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: routes than a tight end in the league. He's sitting on.

824
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: I think he's in a grade. When we come back,

825
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: three tough questions. Play along see if you can go

836

Speaker 1: go three and o as I Pepper my co host

837
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: with three tough questions, beginning with tough question number one,

838
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: what is the appropriate level of panic for Lamar Jackson owners? None?

839
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Brian alright, so,

840
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: l Jacks. Last year he finished as QB six or

841
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: better in seventy three percent of his games. That's super impressive.

842
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: He finished outside the top eighteen quarterbacks in zero percent,

843
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: so insane ceiling, super safe floor. Your loving life with

844
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson last year, especially based on his ADP, I'm

845
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: pretty sure this question is oriented for this year right now.

846
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: This year, he was QB five in week one, okay,

847
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: so far, so good, but then QB eighteen in week two,

848
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: and then QB twenty two last week, so you're not

849
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: feeling too good about l Jack's right now. He still

850
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: is averaging eleven plus rush attempts per game. That is good,

851
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: although zero carries inside the five yard lines so far

852
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: not good. So I'm just gonna say some because he's

853
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: clearly not on the same trajectories last year with the

854
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: bloated ADP, but he will have big weeks. So just

855
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: some level of concern. Okay, Matt, what is the appropriate

856
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: level of panic for Lamar Jackson owners? His bad games

857
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: tend to come against the Kansas City Chiefs for one

858
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: reason or another, specifically specifically, So I'm not going to

859
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: freak out about a quarterback who's averaging eighty rushing yards

860
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: per game over his last nineteen games. I'm not going

861
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: to freak out about a guy who has forty two

862
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: touchdown passes to only eight interceptions since that span. I'm

863
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: not freaked out at all. Come on, let's get over this, guys.

864
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: This is okay. There's no panic here. The correct answer

865
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: is some the defenses are taking away Mark Andrews, and

866
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,959
Speaker 1: that means they're they're making Jackson go to his second

867
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: year receivers Brown and Boykin, and the hope was that

868
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: Brown and boy Can in their second year would improve

869
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: and progress, and they frankly, they haven't and or Jackson

870
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: just isn't being is not able to find them consistently,

871
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: and because of that, his passing numbers remain bad. Now

872
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: the running remains mostly intact. I think, with the exception

873
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: of what Brian mentioned, we're not getting these we're not

874
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: getting these the touchdowns that we were hoping to get,

875
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: but he's still getting carries. And because those rushing numbers,

876
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: the fifty yards, the sixty yards, the seventy yards, the

877
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: eight yards on the ground, you've got basically a statistical

878
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: safety net for Lamar Jackson that means you never have

879
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: to be in a bowl. Loosening level of existential dread.

880
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: Tough question number two, sticking with Baltimore, they're running back.

881
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: Such a wation has been a disaster for everybody involved

882
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: in particularly mark Ingram for the rest of the year.

883
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: Is Ingram and RB two a flex or a bench

884
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: level player? Matt, we begin with you for this one.

885
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: It's weird that Gus Edwards has kind of looked like

886
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: they're best running back so far this year, and as

887
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: and and that's not a good sign. I do like

888
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins quite a bit, and I think that

889
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: eventually his role expands more. He's definitely involved in the

890
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: passing game, so mark Ingram's in a three way time

891
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: share now and in the next couple of weeks here

892
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 1: he's got since Philly and then a bye so those

893
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: two games are good. Then then you get the bye week.

894
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 1: But out of the by it gets absolutely nasty. Pittsburgh twice, Indie, Dallas,

895
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: and Cleveland, who are all top ten running back defenses

896
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: this year, are five of his next seven games. Out

897
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: of the by. He's gonna be on the bench in

898
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: five of those seven games, so he's gonna get more

899
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: bench grades than flex grade. So he's on the bench. Yeah.

900
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,479
Speaker 1: I we thought, or I thought at least that Ingram

901
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be a safe RB two for the first

902
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: quarter of the season at the least, But his carries

903
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: have gone down starry in Week one from ten to

904
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: nine to seven. Like L Jacks, he too has zero

905
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: carries inside the five yard line. J K. Dobbins has

906
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: two and Gus Edwards has one, and like Matt said,

907
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards looks like the best running back on the

908
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: team right now j K. Dobbins just has to improve

909
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, one would think, and as

910
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: Matt also alluded to, Baltimore is the tenth partiest remaining

911
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: strength of schedule for running backs per fantacy pro So

912
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: Ingram on the bench, Ingram on the bench. Ingram has

913
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: fewer snaps than Dobbins, which you mentioned, you guys took

914
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: most of my talking points. Um, just the ten touches

915
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: a game. That's just not enough for reliable production and

916
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: ten why would he get more than the ten when

917
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: Dobbins figures to get better and Gus Edwards has been

918
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: playing better. I think, Um, you're saving graces that Ingram

919
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: has gotten double the red zone looks than Dobbins and

920
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: Edwards combined. But I don't. I don't know that even

921
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: that continues here, So it pay means to me to

922
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: say it. But mark Ingram, you guys are correct. Bench

923
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: he will be a bench level grade most of the time. Now, Matt,

924
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 1: follow up on your point in the schedule. I think

925
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: you can wait two weeks on Ingram. Hope he gets

926
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: value in these next him. He rolls into that by

927
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: and into that brutal part of his schedule and then

928
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: we move him hope for an uptick from Ingram Right.

929
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: Don't sell now because his value is very low now,

930
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: but these next two weeks are promising. Do it after

931
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: the Washington game this week and then before the bye

932
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: when there's more value. Not leaving since and Philly the

933
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: next two weeks are both good matchups to tough question

934
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: number three? Should fantasy owners drop Carson Rentz Wentz out right,

935
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pivot this into two parts. One would

936
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: be in quarterback one leagues where you're just starting the

937
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: one quarterback, and then secondarily, what if you're in a

938
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: super flex and you can start too, So there's two.

939
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: It's a two part answer to this. Can we get

940
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: four out of three? Then yes, yes you can get four.

941
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I can, Okay, alright, well yeah you

942
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: maybe not. Alright in super flex you can't drop and

943
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: you basically can't stop drop a starting quarterback in super flex,

944
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: but make sure you have Jalen Hurts on roster if

945
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: you have wins on your team in super flex, But

946
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: for one quarterback leagues, the answers absolutely yes right now.

947
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,479
Speaker 1: But you can drop him right now with the next

948
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: three games being san Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore. That is

949
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal for Wins, who virtually has no weapons left

950
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: outside of zach Ertz. But pick him back up, preferably

951
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: before the Baltimore game in week six, because after that

952
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: it goes Giants, Dallas, Giants, Cleveland, Seattle Man. Any warm

953
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: body quarterback is going to get a starting grade of

954
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: probably at least a B against those teams moving forward.

955
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: So drop him now, let pick him back up, alright?

956
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: Is that is that? Is that a valid you get

957
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: You gave it, You gave a You gave an answer,

958
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: which is yes, dropping one quarterback, Leagues, no, drop, don't

959
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: drop in in super flex, Matt, Yeah, Brian hit the

960
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: nail on the head. Can't drop him in super flex.

961
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: But you could drop him right now. San fran and

962
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the next couple of weeks. But then the

963
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: schedule does lie and up considerably. They have the fourth

964
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: easiest remaining schedule against the pass, and you should get

965
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: some of these receivers back with Alshon, Jeffrey, Jalen Reagor,

966
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard and uh DeShawn Jackson, that should all be

967
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: back on the field in the near future, we hope,

968
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: although the Eagles can't keep anybody healthy, so I don't

969
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: know why. Uh there there there's good times ahead for Wentz.

970
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: It's not all bad, but we need some receivers back

971
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: on the field for him. You guys hit all my

972
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: talking points here. I'll mention this. I did some Philadelphia

973
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: radio this week and Matt let me tell you they

974
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: they have had it. He'd see Carson that's is under

975
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: siege and the fact that Nick Foles did what he

976
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: just did. The Eagles fans are I rate that the

977
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: team has decided to go with Carson Wentz. Not always

978
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: sunny in Philadelphia Cloud Carson Wentz. But it here's the thing, though,

979
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: he's never he never gets like a full team with him.

980
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: It's always disaster level receivers, the injuries. The offensive line

981
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: is hurt right now. They have one wide receiver who

982
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: is healthy one that's it and he was in the

983
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: right and Dallas Goddard's on I R. I mean, it's

984
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: it's just nobody could do much with what they've got

985
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: to work with their all right, Let's get back to

986
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: a couple of matchups here, beginning with Baltimore taking on Washington. Hey,

987
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: that's me. We just talked about Lamar Jackson. He is

988
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: a I agonized I agonized over this grade for a

989
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: long time for the last two weeks. Of course he

990
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: is he there have been a lot of struggles. He

991
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: faces a much improved Washington defense this week, featuring a

992
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: ferocious front four, but they'll be without Chase Young, who

993
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: has been awesome through three weeks. Job, maybe they end

994
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: up generating a lot of pressure on Jackson and then

995
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: he has to run from the pressure, and then he

996
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: runs out of the pocket, and then he runs downfield

997
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: and he helps you with a bunch of rushing yards,

998
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 1: which is really what we want anyway from Lamar Jackson. Now,

999
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: he could help with his arms. Washington second areas they're

1000
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: just okay, and he could get on track with the

1001
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: receivers here. But I still think his best opportunities on

1002
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: the ground. But I can't give him an a grade

1003
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: based on the version of Lamar Jackson I've seen the

1004
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I'm only giving him the b let's

1005
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: stick with the passing game, Marcus Brown gets a C grade.

1006
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: Washington secondary is surrendered the fifth fewest points to Fantasy

1007
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: points to opposing receivers so I just you know, Brown

1008
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: is always the hit and miss Jackpot guy. I think

1009
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: he's more likely to be a miss here, especially if

1010
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: there is a lot of pressure on Jackson and they

1011
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 1: can't set up the long past to Marcus Brown. Also,

1012
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: he may get covered by Ronald Darby, who has one

1013
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: skill trade, which is to run fast, and that's what

1014
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: Markus Brown does. Then uh that's se Then, oh, Mark Andrews.

1015
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: I would stay with the passing game. Back to back

1016
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,959
Speaker 1: lousy games for Andrews, including a dreadful sniping by Nick

1017
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: Boyle last week that was frustrating. Fortunately, Washington has struggled

1018
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: against tight ends with three touchdowns in three games. They

1019
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: gave up a monster game to the similarly athletic Dallas

1020
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: Goddard and week one. So I've got a B grade

1021
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: on Mark Andrews. Now, we talk about the running backs,

1022
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: and I know we just talked about a lot of

1023
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: these guys. I don't think you really want to start

1024
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: any of them. But Washington did give Nick Chubb and

1025
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: Kareem Honda hundred fifty four rushing yards last week. So

1026
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: if you gotta pick one, it's Mark Ingram I'll give

1027
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: him the sea here. I'm tempted to throw a dart

1028
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: at Gus Edwards just because he's been the best of

1029
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: the bunch, but he just doesn't touch the ball enough.

1030
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: And J. K. Dobbins is out of consideration. Baltimore is

1031
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna have a get right game this week. It's just

1032
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just coming. I wouldn't be surprised

1033
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: if they put up forty points. Yeah, it's it's just coming.

1034
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: And and everybody's gonna be sleeping on it because they

1035
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: all saw what happened on Monday night, well in the

1036
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: week before. Though, this is not just one bad game.

1037
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: That whole offense just looks so out of sink. Where's

1038
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: the game again? Is it in Baltimore at Washington? It's

1039
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: not that far off a bus. There's gonna be more

1040
00:55:54,920 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: Ravens fans at that game. There's not gonna be Ye. Well,

1041
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: let's let's go to the Washington side of this game,

1042
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: where I've got three starters for you, beginning in the

1043
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: running game with Antonio Gibson, who was scored back to

1044
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: back games and increased his yards per carry and yardage

1045
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: total outputs in every game, but he faces a very

1046
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: good Baltimore run defense. Nick Chubb, David Johnson and Clyde

1047
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: Edwards A Laire all struggled against Baltimore, managing a scoreless

1048
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: fifties seven rushing yards per game on average. That's it.

1049
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: Gibson gets got the goal line carry last week, so

1050
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: that was good news. Wasn't not Peton Barber, it was

1051
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, So you still got a shot here and

1052
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: we'll give him a C grade. Also getting a C

1053
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: grade Terry McLaurin mcon It's a brutal matchup. The Ravens

1054
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: have allowed wide receivers to score just five times in

1055
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: their last eleven games, the last one yard receiver against

1056
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore a year ago, Week four of last year. McLaren

1057
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: runs from all over the field, but he's got tough

1058
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: matchups at every stop. It's Jimmy Smith, Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphrey.

1059
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: McLaren did pop up on the injury report later in

1060
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: the week with a thigh injury as well. It doesn't

1061
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: help matters and that helps cement the C grade um

1062
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: and then lastly, a sneaky play at tight end if

1063
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: you've get if you had Johnny Smith or Eric Ebron,

1064
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas only one fewer target on the season than

1065
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, and he's averaging playing time. The Ravens have

1066
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: been more yielding to the tight end position than any

1067
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: other spot. Tight ends of top fifty yards in every

1068
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: game against Baltimore, and that includes David and Joko and

1069
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's Aikens. They're not exactly the second coming of Tony Gonzalez.

1070
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: So Logan Thomas in play, I'm happy to say low too,

1071
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: low too to his friends. Low to um Matt Buffalo

1072
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: taking on Oakland. Let's see if we can squeeze this

1073
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: into about three minutes. Yeah we can. Zack Moss was

1074
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: here to take a chance on me runner. But I

1075
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: actually like Devin Singletary better this week. I'm giving him

1076
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: a B grade. Uh. First, he's garnering five targets per

1077
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: game versus four targets on the season two Moss. Second,

1078
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: he's led or tied Moss and rushing attempts every game

1079
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: that they've both played this year. Third, the matchup skews

1080
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: in his favor. The Raiders have allowed at least two

1081
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns to a single running back in every game this season.

1082
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: It was Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Rex Birkehead. What

1083
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: do they have in common? They all lead their respective

1084
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: running back rooms in targets on that day, and I

1085
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: think Singletary will do that, especially with Zach Moss still

1086
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of nursing that toe injury. The back with the

1087
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: pass catching ability wins the day against the Raiders. Josh Allen,

1088
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: he gets an A savaging thy six passing yards and

1089
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: over three touchdowns per game. He's just an auto stark.

1090
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: He is uh. Stephan Diggs, he gets an A too.

1091
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: Since the start of last year, the Raiders are allowing

1092
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy yards to the wide receiver position,

1093
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: and Digs is top to eighty five yards or scored

1094
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: in every game in his Bill's career. John Brown, who's

1095
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: dinged up. If he goes, I'm gonna give him a see.

1096
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, He's a He's a good see start as well,

1097
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: both averaging six targets per game. Brian nailed the Cole

1098
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: Beasley one yard game last week. Give m a becoc

1099
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: charge where you. Brown was blank last week after a

1100
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: calf injury, but enjoyed seventy yards and a score in

1101
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: each of the first two If healthy, it's a it's

1102
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: a good game for him, and the Raiders just lost

1103
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: first round cornerback Damon Arnett and their secondary sucks. Beyond that,

1104
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: we're not chasing the tight end scores from last week

1105
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: at all, So let's move over to the Raiders. Josh

1106
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: Jacobs is a B grade. He got Caroline in Week one,

1107
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: wonderful explosive output there. Then he got New Orleans and

1108
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: New England among the best run defenses in the league.

1109
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: Follow that up with Buffalo, who's only allowing eighty eight

1110
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game since the beginning of last year

1111
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: and around half a touchdown. It's just a B for

1112
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: Jacobs this week. Cars on the bench. The Raiders are

1113
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: missing Henry Rugs, Brian Edwards, Ritchie Incognito, and Trent Brown

1114
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: from their old line. The Bills have allowed over three

1115
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: yards and two passing touchdowns to each of the last

1116
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks they faced, but they've been very good over

1117
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: the last year, only two twenty one per game. So

1118
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm just leaving car on the bench. I am giving

1119
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: starting grades to a couple of his receivers. Though Darren

1120
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Waller gets a B. He's going to get double digit

1121
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: targets in this game. He's averaging nine point three. Since

1122
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: tight ends who have had double digit targets against the

1123
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: Bills have averaged eight catches a hundred and thirty yards

1124
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: in a score per game, So I'll downgrade this possible

1125
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: A grade to a B because Matt Milano and Tremaine

1126
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Edmonds are elite at covering the tight end for the Bills.

1127
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: They held Higbee, Herndon, and Everett to forty yards or less.

1128
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro is the only wide receiver that gets a

1129
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: starting grade. He gets a sea really is he's running

1130
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: about six of his routes from the slot. Jamison Crowder

1131
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup each scored and topped a hundred yards

1132
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: from the slot this year already, and the Dolphins slot

1133
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver Isaiah Ford had seven catches for seventy six yards.

1134
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: The only issue maybe do they throw a waller in

1135
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the slot and put Hunter Renfro on the out side

1136
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: just because he's healthy and he's upright? Yeah? Yeah, Nelson

1137
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Agilar is not meant to play outside either, is not

1138
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: meant to play. You could have just offended with that.

1139
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a day Z day. It

1140
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: could be another guy who's meant to run out and

1141
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: another guy in a revenge game? Does Joe every Buffalo

1142
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: games a revenge game because like jettison so many guys

1143
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: and turned through so many guys that have stayed in

1144
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the league. When we come back, Cleveland takes on Dallas.

1145
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: Is this a monster game coming for Nick Chubb? If

1146
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: we have an in a slightly slightly injured Kareem Hunt

1147
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: and or what about this passing gave Baker Mayfield good

1148
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: in two straight games? Does it continue? Stay tuned. Fantasy

1151
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: no had to had. Every week the low scoring team

1152
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: gets cut and all of their players go to the

1153
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: waiver wire, where pandemonium ensues as you battle to bid

1154

Speaker 1: on all of these great players. Certified fresh at is

1156
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues dot com, we encourage you to check that out. Brian.

1157
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: By my eyes, Baker Mayfields played pretty well the last

1158
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Odell Beckham sparking to a level of

1159
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: competence that we haven't seen in a while, And here

1160
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: comes Dallas minus some starting cornerbacks. What do you think

1161
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: of this Cleveland offense? Yeah, San Baker Mayfield the easy

1162
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: be uh maybe even in A. The Cowboys have allowed

1163
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: nine passing touchdowns over the last two weeks. That's all

1164
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: you really need to know for Mayfield. And the injury

1165
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: is like you just mentioned, so he's in a great

1166
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: spot as r as wide receivers at L. Beckham gonna

1167
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: get an A was limited by a back injury for

1168
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: most of the week, but practice and full on Friday.

1169
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have surrendered the most wide receiver touchdowns was seven, somehow,

1170
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: beating the Seahawks in a category. Seahawks only quote unquote

1171
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: only have allowed five wide receiver touchdowns. So in A

1172
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: for Beckham uh and B for Jarvis Landry only thirteen

1173
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: targets for Landry to Beckham's twenty two so far. But

1174
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: he's been a little dinged up. Just mentioned the seven

1175
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns surrendered to wide receivers by Dallas. Four of those

1176
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: went to fellow slot with wide receivers at Russell Gage

1177
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett. So B for Jarvis Landry. And I'm

1178
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna give Austin Hooper as C as in C later

1179
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: if you don't produce in this game, already dropped him

1180
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: in all my leave. Hayden Hurst came through against the

1181
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys four catches for seventy two yards and a touchdown.

1182
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Even Greg Olsen was serviceable five catches for sixty one yards.

1183
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: That should be Hooper's floor here. You should be able

1184
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: to replicate the Olsen numbers. But if he doesn't, there's

1185
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: another tight end in Cleveland I've got my eye on.

1186
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a little later in the show. And

1187
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: of course we have to mention Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

1188
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt a little if he with a groin injury.

1189
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Groin injuries on running backs, no boy, no. So we'll

1190
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: get to Hunt in a minute. If Nick Chubb easy

1191
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: a Hunt sits pretty much an A A Hunt goes

1192
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: but a strong B. But he's he's an A either way,

1193
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: You're not starting in one over Kareem Hunt. He's been

1194
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: great even with Cream Hunt lurking all year. Uh Chub

1195
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: averaging five point seven yards per carry on seventeen yards

1196
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: a game. It is a tough matchup on paper, as

1197
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: no loan back has topped eighty five rushing yards against

1198
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys for better or for worse, Dallas is funneling

1199
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: the opposition to the past, so and so kareem hunt

1200
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: back to him. I'll give him a see if he plays.

1201
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: He has had double digit carries in every game, which

1202
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: is kind of a choker to me, but only and

1203
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: to receiving scores so far. But hasn't hit twenty receiving

1204
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: yards yet in a game. But he's stuffed to sit

1205
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: in PPR. I'll still give him a c over to

1206
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: the Dallas side. Just gonna give Zeke a b here.

1207
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: He might get the return of Tyron Smith his last town.

1208
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: That would help big time. So the Cowboys are the

1209
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: only team in the NFL without a rush of fifteen

1210
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: plus yards. It was the Jets against Sam Donald to

1211
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: care that on Thursday night. And the Browns run defense

1212
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: has been very good, having well the fourth viewist rushing

1213
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: attempts in fourth viewist rushing yards to running backs at

1214
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: three point three yards per carry. Zeke does have twenty

1215
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: six touches in every game, is the second most target

1216
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: running back in the league. So a safety with with

1217
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: a a potential for sure Mark Cooper gets an a

1218
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: at least nine targets and eight yards in every game.

1219
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: He's not a coin flip like Michael Gallop or Ceedee Lamb.

1220
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland secondary has already given up five touchdowns to opposing

1221
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers and and an opposing receiver has topped at

1222
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: least seventy yards in every game. And Cleveland's top corner,

1223
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: Denzel Award is just having an off here, looking like

1224
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: a shadow of his warm herself. So in a for Cooper,

1225
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting get Michael Gallop and Ceedee Lamb. Is ce.

1226
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned the plus numbers for opposing wide receivers against

1227
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: the Browns, who are also yielding the fifth most targets

1228
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: to wide receivers and the most targets to wide receivers

1229
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: in red zone. But both of these guys are just

1230
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: in danger of getting left out in the cold. But

1231
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: you have to start them both in a suspected shootout.

1232
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: I got some Eric Decker theory on Ceedee Lamb this week.

1233
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: That theory we don't have enough time to get all right, um,

1234
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: and who else is stortable? Dalton Schultz gonna give him

1235
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: a sea has seen sevent snapshare since Blake Jarwin went down.

1236
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland has been getting lit up by tight ends, allowing

1237
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: seven catches, sixty yards and a touchdown per game, So

1238
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: a safe c for Adulton Schultz. And last, but not

1239
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: least unless you're Jerry Jones, of course, is Dak Prescott. Yeah. Hey,

1240
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: the Browns have surrendered multiple passing touchdowns in every game

1241
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: and st Based on everything else you said, there was

1242
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: no doubt that Dak Prescott was going to be an

1243
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: a Why does Jerry Jones hate him so much that

1244
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand? Well, he's senile and I can go

1245
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: on by that. Well, well, I think it might just

1246
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: come down to money. That might be part of it.

1247
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: New England takes on Kansas City. There's not many starters

1248
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: on the New England side here. Let's start with Cam Newton.

1249
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: For three years, Newton is per even to be an

1250
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: inconsistent passer at best, and even now under Bill Belichick,

1251
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: he's thrown just two touchdowns in the three games. And

1252
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: this is toughest matchup by a mile so far this year.

1253
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City just finished destroying Lamar Jackson, holding him to

1254
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: nineties seven passing yards and one score. Chiefs have given

1255
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,959
Speaker 1: up solid rushing performances to every quarterback they've faced, though,

1256
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not ruling out a decent rushing game from

1257
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, but I don't think you're getting anything from

1258
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: his arm, and rushing is very scattered shot, so I'm

1259
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: just giving Cam a C grade. His receiver. The only

1260
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: receiver I'm starting is Julian Edelman. Even with teams playing

1261
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: catchup against Kansas City, they've still allowed the fewest Fantasy

1262
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: points to opposing receivers, so I think it's hard to

1263
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: rely on Edelman in this matchup. He'll see a lot

1264
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: of Tyrone Matthew and he's held opponents scoreless while not

1265
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: allowing any receiver more than forty one yards in any game.

1266
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Those are brutal matchup for Julian Edelman and just the

1267
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: C grade. Probably I could put him on the bench,

1268
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: and it's tempting, but I've I've settled on a C

1269
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: grade for Julian Edelman. Nikkil Harry needs primo matchups to

1270
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: be startable, and this is not even close to one

1271
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: of them, so he's on the bench. Let's go to

1272
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the running game. James White's the only running back I'm

1273
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: recommending that you play, and he only gets a C grade.

1274
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: Runners have fared well against the Chiefs through the air,

1275
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: that's White's game. Not have scored, but they're giving up

1276
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: sixty running back receiving yards per game. The Chiefs arey,

1277
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: we'll take sixty six for sixty for James White. That's

1278
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a C grade. Worried that he splits it with Rex

1279
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Burkhead a little, Well, he wasn't before, so he got

1280
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: a whole week of practice in so I'm hoping not.

1281
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Rex Burkhead, Sony Michelle, but off I R.

1282
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: Here's Damian Williams, and back comes James Harris. Damian Harris,

1283
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: thank you, And here comes James White. And so now

1284
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: that whole backfields way, way, way too muddy, except I

1285
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: think James James White, who just goes back to being

1286
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: when it seems to be the only one with a

1287
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: defined role. Agreed, Let's go to the Kansas City side,

1288
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: where every week I kind of say the same thing.

1289
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill, all a grades. Two

1290
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,839
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the similarly skilled Russell Wilson through five touchdowns

1291
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. You know, for Kelsey it's a tough

1292
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: matchup and no opposing tight end is top thirty yards

1293
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. But you start him anyway, because he's

1294
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. As for Hill, New England's secondary has been

1295
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: oddly beatable this year. They're allowing the seventh most fantasy

1296
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: points to opposing receivers, including five scores to wide receivers. Already,

1297
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Hill should see a healthy dose of Stephan Gilmore and

1298
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones and coverage, and both have uncharacteristically given up

1299
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: scores in their coverage. So we're gonna keep the A

1300
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 1: grade on Tyreek Hill. The only other guy I'm starting

1301
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: is Clyde Edwards, a layer with a B grade. Patriots

1302
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: rebuilt front seven are allowing a healthy four and a

1303
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: half yards per carry, far easier to run than pass

1304
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: on New England, So I think you're getting a lot

1305
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: of volume from Clyde Edwards, a layer the catches. He's

1306
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: just not doing anything near the stripe, and I'm I'm

1307
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: really worried that at the end of the year we're

1308
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna look back at Clyde Edwards, a layer and say, well,

1309
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: that was an interesting four touchdown season could be. I mean,

1310
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: he's doing nothing inside inside the ten, inside the five,

1311
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: and his offensive line has given him nothing to work

1312
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,759
Speaker 1: with either. He's not going to be the new Ryan Matthews. Izzy, Well,

1313
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: he's already better than Ryan Matthews, I think. But he's

1314
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: a good receiver and the Patriots, although the Patriots have

1315
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: been good at stopping backs through the air, but he'll

1316
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: still pick up a few yards that way. Let's talk

1317
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: about Sammy Watkins for a minute. He's protecting an injury

1318
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: and as a result, he's basically catching the ball and

1319
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 1: falling down. I can't start him based on that. I

1320
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: know he had a decent game last week and had

1321
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: a good week one. Sammy s Watkins, Yeah, I like it,

1322
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Sammy Squatkins. We're not starting him. Final matchup of this

1323
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: segment is Atlanta taking on Green Bay on the Monday nighter,

1324
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and this looks like a massive shootout, but we've got

1325
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: big question marks at both wide receiver positions for the

1326
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,560
Speaker 1: star player. It is super thorny from a wide receiver perspective,

1327
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: and good matchups for any wide receivers who decide that

1328
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: they are going to play in this game. UM let's

1329
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: start with Calvin Ridley, who did pop up on the

1330
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: injury report on Friday, limited in practice with an ankle injury.

1331
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: But I don't believe that one. I think that that

1332
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: one is most likely to go, still giving him an

1333
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: A grade. He's wide receiver one in Atlanta now, averaging

1334
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: twelve targets hundred and sixteen yards per game. He scored

1335
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: four times this year already. He's an A grade now.

1336
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and Russell Gauge, I'm gonna leave them on

1337
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: the bench. But if they do play, there a C grade. Um,

1338
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: I just can't trust if either, We'll plan it's Monday night.

1339
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: Jones is still dealing with a hamstring, which caused him

1340
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: to sit last week. Gauges in the concussion protocol. If

1341
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 1: he clears it, though he's you know, it's not like

1342
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: he's got Probably he's probably a little bit more likely

1343
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: to play than Jones. Uh. Neither participated Thursday. Uh. Since

1344
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: it's a Monday night game. If they're in your lineup,

1345
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: you need to have a backup ready and I I

1346
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 1: recommended Marquez Veldez Scantling, you can pick him up. If

1347
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: not Brandon Powell or oh lim Oh my god, I

1348
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: can't even say his name, old m me day Zackius. Yeah,

1349
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: he had four receptions for the Falcons last week. We're

1350
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna call him o z uh and Brandon. Is he

1351
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz? Yeah, he might be. Brandon Powell

1352
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: had three receptions last week, so if either Jones or

1353
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: Gauge play, they're in. But those are options, I guess

1354
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: if they don't, I'm giving Hayden Hurst a be lack

1355
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: of wide receiver depth probably means an increase in targets

1356
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: for Hurst, although it didn't work out last week when

1357
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Hurst only had three targets and had the half of

1358
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,560
Speaker 1: Mike Evans game one catch, one yard, and one touchdown.

1359
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather start Hurst and a flex over Powell or

1360
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: Zackius if you need an Adams, Jones or Gauge replacement.

1361
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: It's a soft be though. It's like a like a

1362
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: bay Uh. Let's talk about Matt Ryan A grade averaging

1363
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: over three yards per game, and the Packers have yet

1364
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: to allow a three d yard pastor this season. But

1365
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: I've given up multiple scores to each quarterback they've faced,

1366
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: and the running game him, Todd Gurley and Brian Hill.

1367
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: I'm giving both a C grade too. Yeah. I'm glad

1368
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: you're mentioning Brian Hill because I I be at least

1369
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 1: in at least last week, I thought he looked like

1370
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: the better back. Well, let's talk about last week fifteen

1371
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: touches for Girley eighty two yards in a score. Hill

1372
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: ten touches last week eighty yards in a score. Uh,

1373
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: that's better yards per touch for Hill there, But it

1374
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: seems like a timeshare now. And the Packers have given

1375
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: up big numbers to Dalvin Cook and Alvin Camaro, Wall,

1376
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray and carry On Johnson kind of back up

1377
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: halftime backs. Each had respectable days and change of pace

1378
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: rolls over on the Packers side. Uh. Aaron Jones is

1379
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 1: an easy a per game averages with Davante Adams fifteen carries,

1380
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: three point six targets one touchdown per game averages without

1381
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Davontae Adams fourteen point eight carries, six and a half

1382
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: targets one point eight touchdowns. He's actually better without Davante Adams.

1383
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: So maybe if you're an Aaron Jones owner, you're hoping

1384
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams. Maybe. Um, that's a that's stat's courtesy of

1385
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Mr Scott Fish. By the way, Aaron Rodgers, I'm giving

1386
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: an A grade two and Brian says, I can't give

1387
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,919
Speaker 1: fantasy Fonzis anymore, So I'm going to make Aaron Rodgers,

1388
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: who has two a's in his name, the Fantasy Art

1389
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: Vark because there's it's a double A grade brand to

1390
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 1: find out what sound is like, so we can can

1391
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: add that in. We've got the we have, we got

1392
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: the dock, we've got the vulture, we've got the peacock. Well,

1393
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: we got a Fantasy art Vark. Now we have probably

1394
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: bell Um. That's the single bell although the Falcons have

1395
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: allowed three passing yards in every game this year, so

1396
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: Rogers is going to be great. Davante Adams, he's still

1397
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: got the hamstring injury. They're talking positively about him, but

1398
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: why would they bring him back on a Monday night,

1399
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: right before a bye week against Atlanta who they should

1400
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: beat at home. It doesn't make any sense to bring

1401
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: Davanta adam Is back unless he's I think you're kind

1402
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: of right, and he said he he only wants to

1403
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: come back in a percent. But we've seen guys do

1404
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: this before. Yeah, to come back before the bye week

1405
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: and surprise us is strange. I can't put him in

1406
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: a lineup, but if he does go, he's an A grade.

1407
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: Of course. I mentioned Allan Lazard core surgery out in

1408
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: definitely MVS was might take a chance on me wide

1409
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: receiver with a B grade worth noting that Malik Taylor

1410
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: and Darius Shepherd are the two other wide receivers on

1411
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: the depth chart. Shepherd had one target last week, so

1412
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: he's probably the next man up, and then Jay Sternberger,

1413
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Robert Tanyan, Mercedes Lewis. Roll the dice if you want to.

1414
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: If there's a lot of injuries here, because they might. Yeah,

1415
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to. Robert Tonyan with has been more

1416
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 1: of a scoring threat of if it was one guy,

1417
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: it's an A grade yeah, right. If you could roll

1418
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: them into one guy and one other than that, it's

1419
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: a super tight end s great for any of them,

1420
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: if you want to, roll the dice, if you want to.

1421
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 1: When we come back premature speculation, this is the bit

1422
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: are we give you three players to pick up this

1423
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: week that we we will be hot waiver wire pickups

1424
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: next week and will already be on your team Because

Speaker 1: appreciate that very much. This is a segment we call

1432
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: premature speculation. We offer a player each of us that

1433
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: we think will be a potential waiver wire pick up

1434
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: next week that you're going to already have on roster. Brian,

1435
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,879
Speaker 1: who do you got Harrison Bryant. Cleveland's tight end. Austin

1436
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Hooper has been a pooper of the bed so far

1437
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: this season. He's clearly a product of the Atlanta offense.

1438
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: He did not make that offense go. That offense made

1439
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: him go, and now he's in Cleveland sucking it up.

1440
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, that is you know who doesn't suck. Harrison Bryant,

1441
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: six five pounds, fourth round pick by the Browns out

1442
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: of Florida Atlantic this year unanimous All American Phil Mackie

1443
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: Award winner that goes to the most outstanding tight end

1444
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: in college has had a ton of opportunity yet Harrison Bryant.

1445
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: But he did score a touchdown last week and if

1446
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: he soaks up some more targets from Auston Hooper, and

1447
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: he will because he's a better football player. He's gonna

1448
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: have do pretty well for the man of the season

1449
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: because Cleveland has the ninth easiest remaining strength of schedule

1450
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: for tight ends and the landscape is getting kinda kind

1451
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: of ready. So keep your Ryan Harrison. Bryan Austin Hooper

1452
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: signed a forty four million dollar deal with twenty three

1453
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. It's gonna be it's gonna be hard to

1454
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: get him out of the starting line up in four weeks.

1455
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: I think he's got a great name. By the way,

1456
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: if you drop the tee off of it, Yeah, Brian,

1457
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: he's Brian Harrison. Is he one of the Harrison Brian,

1458
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: we mentioned Brian Harrison. You're premature speculation player. Matt Christian

1459
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Kirk is suddenly down to forty eight percent owned in

1460
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: ESPN leagues. He is still limited and practice of that

1461
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: groin injury, and I kind of hope he sits this

1462
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: week because he can't hurt it anymore if he's sitting,

1463
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: and why because he gets the Jets terrible defense next week,

1464
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Dallas in week six, Seattle in weeks seven, that's delicious

1465
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: buy in week eight, and then Miami in week nine.

1466
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: He's got some really nice matchups coming up. That's four

1467
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: starting grades in the next five weeks for Christian Kirk

1468
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: and if he is owned, if you're in one of

1469
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: the forty eight percent where he is owned, and this

1470
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: is your bylow opportunity on a gimpy Christian Kirk with

1471
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: schedule coming the Kirk store called, They're there, Kirk's for sale,

1472
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: Come on about All right, let's go to my premature speculation.

1473
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Guy is Pittsburgh running back Anthony McFarland. He's the fourth

1474
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: round rookie from Maryland. He's um. He's medium built, but

1475
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 1: he's a willing inside runner and he's got some bursts

1476
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: and big play potential to him. I don't know why,

1477
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: but Benny smells in the doghouse, and we all saw

1478
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: him look great in week one. But for whatever reason,

1479
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: Benny smith Snell is apparently not going to be a

1480
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: factor in this in this offense. Maybe it's the Benny smell.

1481
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: I think you pumped him up too much. I don't

1482
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: know why. McFarland um, after getting zero snaps in week one,

1483
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: zero snaps in week two, got seven touches last week

1484
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: and turned seven touches into fifty yards and that was

1485
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: more than Benny Snell got as well, might add both

1486
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: in touches and yards. James Conner is the league's biggest

1487
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,759
Speaker 1: injury risk at any position, and the Steelers are handling

1488
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: him exactly the wrong way. He can't be a workhorse,

1489
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 1: and here they are using him like a workhorse. There

1490
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: is no bigger ticking time bomb than James Connor. So

1491
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: let's pivot to his backup. And it may not be

1492
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Benny Snell. It could be Anthony McFarland, could be, could be,

1493
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know yet. But last week it was

1494
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: insert Jaylen Samuel's. We have two matchups left, beginning with

1495
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia taking on San Francisco. It's last man standing for

1496
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles. There's just there's nobody left other than with

1497
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, one of the two reliable players left on Philly.

1498
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Sanders gets it be um. Despite key injuries all over

1499
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: the defensive side for San Francisco, there's They're still top

1500
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: five in terms of fewest rushing attempts, rushing yards, receptions,

1501
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 1: and receiving yards allowed to opposing running backs to be fair.

1502
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: To be fair, they've also faced Levy on not a

1503
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Bell Cow and the Giants and see Quon, so not

1504
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: much competition for San Francisco. Sanders will be the best

1505
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: back they faced. He's averaging twenty seven touches per game

1506
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: in a meaty eight targets per game, so he's an

1507
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: easy volume based b in this one. Zach ERT's gonna

1508
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: give him an A even though it's not a great matchup.

1509
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Saw ten targets last week and that's probably a safe

1510
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: floor moving forward. With all the injuries for Philly on offense,

1511
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are banged up on defense, but they

1512
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: have been stout against tight ends as well, having only

1513
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: surrendered seven total catches to the position. So uh. But

1514
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: in the tight end landscape this week, especially with no

1515
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: John new Smith right, you have to just bump up

1516
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: earths into uh to the wide receivers. No a's going

1517
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: out to these guys. To Sean Jackson ruled out, so

1518
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: get him out of your lineup. The song remains the

1519
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 1: same with him with a hamstring injury. Um. The forty

1520
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Niners have actually allowed the fourth most catches to wide receivers,

1521
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: and that's behind the Broncos and Jets in two and

1522
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: three who played four games. And of course Seattle's number

1523
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: one with like a million, but anyway, a good matchup

1524
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: for wide receivers and Richard Sherman an Emmanuel Moseley. Starting

1525
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are not going to play in this game, so

1526
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: Greg Ward gets a c I just worry they're gonna

1527
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: play to take greg Ward away, because who else do

1528
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: you throw? I cannot name another Philadelphia wide receiver right now.

1529
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't know who they are, so I'm just saying

1530
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: greg Ward it's not and he runs from the slot,

1531
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: and fellow slot receivers Braxton Barrios and Golden Tad had

1532
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: good games against the forty niners when they're a little

1533
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: bit healthier. So I'm giving Greg Ward the sea here,

1534
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 1: and I'll give Carson Wentz to see. It's really only

1535
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: in super flex, but even in one quarterback leagues. It's

1536
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: only because the two corners I mentioned are out. Nick

1537
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: Bosa is out, d Ford fellow defensive end is out,

1538
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: uh Solomon Thomas is out. Strong side linebacker Dre green

1539
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: Law is out. Everyone is out for San Fran and

1540
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: Wentz can still run. He had sixty plus yards in

1541
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown last week. Daniel Jones had forty nine

1542
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards against San Fran last week, so Wentz sort

1543
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: of has a safe floor, but not really. That's a

1544
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: nice contrarian angle on Wentz right there. Okay, I like that.

1545
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Sadly can't play this game in the main slate on

1546
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: the other side because it's the late game is a

1547
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. But anyway, over the San France side,

1548
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 1: they love. They hate when you call it san Franz

1549
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: and san France, so I love saying san France. George

1550
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: Kittle gets in a he's ready to quote unquote let

1551
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: it loose against the Eagles after practicing in full on

1552
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles conceded a good game to

1553
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas, who had four catches or thirty seven yards

1554
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and then a monster game to Tyler Higibe.

1555
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: You at five catches, fifty four yards and the touchdown

1556
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: hat trick. So we haven't given out a FUNSI yet.

1557
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to Kittle on his return. A grade

1558
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: for George Kittle. Devo Samuel was not supposed to play,

1559
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: but he will play in this game, but will be

1560
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: eased back into action. Keep him on your bench, but

1561
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: check your waiver wire for Debo if he's available. Scoop

1562
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: him up right now. I'm gonna leave my receiver grades

1563
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: as they were before the debo news. That's a B

1564
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: for Brandon Aiyuk and a C for Kendrick Borne. The

1565
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: Eagles secondary is allowing over one eighty yards per game

1566
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers. That includes two hundred and thirty

1567
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: yards the Bengals whiteouts last week, so Ayuk and Born

1568
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: are both startable, as is Nick Mullins. He gets to

1569
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: see this is really only because George Kittle is coming back.

1570
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 1: But the Eagles are allowing the seventh highest opponent passer

1571
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: rating and have surrendered five touchdown tosses over the last

1572
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: two weeks. So uh C grade for Mullins. And lastly

1573
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: to the running backs, Jerick McKinnon will play with the

1574
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,680
Speaker 1: rib injury, he should serve as a lead back and

1575
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: give him a B here. Philly shut down Washington backs

1576
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 1: understandably so and limited Joe Mixon last week, but the

1577
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: Rams backs gashed Philly in Week two, primarily Darryl Henderson

1578
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: had a hundred twenty one combo yards and a score.

1579
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: Jet can get to that, and do not forget about

1580
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Wilson, who also gets to see he will be

1581
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: the goal lineback in this one, and the Eagles have

1582
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: yielded the second most touches to running backs in goal

1583
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: to go snari Oh, all right, I'm done for the week.

1584
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,799
Speaker 1: Our final matchup is the Giants taking on the Rams.

1585
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: There's only one starter for the Giants and it's tight

1586
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: end Evan Ingram. I don't even love it. He's been quiet,

1587
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: but maybe a good game here. Opposing height ends against

1588
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: the Rams have been targeted eight times. I was scoring

1589
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game, so maybe you can get at

1590
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: something done. You're really in a pinch. You could try

1591
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, who runs from the slot, so he gets

1592
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,799
Speaker 1: to avoid Jalen Ramsey and draw a much easier matchup

1593
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: with Troy Hill. Hill is allowed twenty one of twenty

1594
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: two passes in his coverage to to be completed, So

1595
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: in fact I'm gonna give Golden Tate the C grade here.

1596
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Everybody else is on the bench. Daniel Jones has zero

1597
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: touchdown passes the past two weeks and another's a tough

1598
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: match up. Darius Slayton's on the bench because he draws

1599
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey who will shadow him. Um and with Sterling

1600
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: Shepherd out I think that makes it a lock that

1601
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey shadows Darius Slayton. So he's out and all

1602
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: the runners are out. Dan Lewis, Devanta Freeman, Wayne Gollman.

1603
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Lots of reasons not to play any of them. They

1604
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: split snaps evenly last week. The Giants run the ball

1605
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: less than any team in the NFL. The Giants runners

1606
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 1: as a group are averaging one point eight yards per carry.

1607
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: Here we just say, don't start Giants until further notice,

1608
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: and well we'll like, you know, yeah, well we'll we'll

1609
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: put to mention Giants runners anymore. Could you get one

1610
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 1: point eight yards if you fell forward? It's taller than that,

1611
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: so yes, yes you could. All right, we can't they're

1612
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: not the Giants runners. No, they can't. They're short. Let's

1613
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: go to the l A side. Lots of starters here,

1614
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: a whole different story, beginning in the passing game with

1615
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: a B grade on Jared Goff coming off one of

1616
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: his best games ever, and he has my highest grade

1617
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 1: for him this year. UH. A couple of backups, Nick

1618
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: Mullins and Sad trombone Sky both posted solid fantasy games

1619
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: against the Giants and his receivers and Tyler Higbee have

1620
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 1: all got plus matchups. I worry most honestly, just that

1621
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 1: the Rams running backs are gonna be so good that

1622
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: Jared Goff doesn't end up in a big game. So

1623
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: just the B grade on him. Robert Woods and Cooper

1624
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: Cup each get a's. For Woods, he's tallied one hundred

1625
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: total yards a touchdowner both in all three games. He's

1626
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 1: going to go up against James Bradbury, who has already

1627
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 1: been victimized for two scores in three games. Cooper Cup

1628
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: works from the slot. He now leads the team in targets,

1629
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: receptions and red zone targets. He's going to see the

1630
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: horrible slot cornerback Darnay Holmes, who ranks is Pro Football

1631
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 1: Focus is cornerback one hundred five out of like seven

1632
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: correct um and then Tyler Higgbye inexplicably silent last week,

1633
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: but a bounce back could becoming. The Giants are allowing

1634
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 1: twelve yards per catch two tight ends, although not a

1635
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: ton of volume. They don't have to throw the tight

1636
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: ends that much. I don't think there's a very good

1637
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: tight end defense, although they haven't shown it to this point.

1638
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: I think I worry there's just not enough meat left

1639
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: on the bone for Higby here with all these other

1640
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,639
Speaker 1: mouths defeat um. And then let's go to the running game.

1641
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson sitting on potentially a great game, and he

1642
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 1: is an A grade. He just shredded too far better

1643
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: run defenses Buffalo and Philly. The predictably bad Giants run

1644
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: defense shredded in all three games as well, giving big

1645
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: performances to Benny Snell, David Montgomery, and both of the

1646
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Niners running backs last week. And so Darryl Henderson, who

1647
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 1: has been great, should continue to be very good here

1648
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: and we'll get the bulk of the work. But that

1649
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't start Malcolm Brown. Don't say cam

1650
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: Akers because he's been ruled out. Not cam Akers, Malcolm Brown,

1651
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 1: and all the more reason to like Malcolm Brown. Plenty

1652
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: to go around here against the Giant's team allowing one

1653
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: hundred fifty three total yards and one and a half

1654
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. The dual headed

1655
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: approach worked last week against the Giants when Jerick McKinnon

1656
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 1: and Jeff Wilson combined for under fifty yards and three scores.

1657
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: We'll try two running backs here too, Malcolm Brown. If

1658
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: you're in a pinch, available on waiver wires in many leagues,

1659
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 1: you could pick him up and start him. Final reminder
