WEBVTT - Week 4: Taken Bye Surprise 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.639 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.880 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:23.799 advice League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.320 Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my co host 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.360 today are Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. I think it 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.920 was you guys last week too. I'm getting sick of 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.960 you two. Why are we gonna work some fish back 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:40.400 into the mix? Sounds like you're coming up on lent yea. 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.960 It does sound like I'm coming up online plenty to 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.360 get to. Over the course of the show, we will 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.160 give you premature speculation at the end of the show 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.879 when we reveal the three players you want to pick 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.440 up now that everybody else will be trying to pick 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.720 up next week. We'll answer three tough questions. We will 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.880 take a chance on me with nine players not normally 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.600 in your starting line up, many of whom are available 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.680 on the waiver wire, which is extra important this week 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.959 because we have a surprise bye week surprise with the 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.960 Steelers and the Titans um and this looks like this 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.280 will count as their one by week and you know 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.440 we knew going into the season they're gonna be situations 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.800 in which you just had to be a nimble, flexible 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.680 owner and league, and it's already upon us. It only 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.880 took four weeks, and now you get to we get 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.240 to find out who's who's got a deep roster, who 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.120 can work the waiver wire, who can find free agents? 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.160 As a guy who just traded for Derrick Henry this 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.000 week to the guy I'm playing against. From the guy 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.959 playing against, he's laughing all the way at me. That's 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:48.400 that's delicious. Right before the Titans obviously tested positive for covid, um, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.000 you know your your league is not going to be 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.280 able to have rules in place for every possible scenario. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.760 But what we were looking at when we thought this 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.160 was gonna be a Monday or Tuesday makeup, why is um, 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.080 what do I do? If you know? Do I leave 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.360 Derrick Henry my starting lineup and just hope that the 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.880 Monday game happens or the Tuesday game happens? And you 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.720 didn't know for sure? And one of the better ideas 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.920 that I saw get floated around Twitter, and I think 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.079 it was Ryan McDowell that I saw who did it 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:21.400 said it first. Was have a provisional player designated in 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.359 case that guy doesn't go. Um, and I think that 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.000 would have made sense here where you would have said, 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.880 all right, i'm starting Derrick Henry, but if he does 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.560 not go, I'm rewinding it back to this guy who 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.760 hasn't played yet. Yeah, and I think that you should 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.359 stipulate it's if that game isn't played, it's not. It's 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.440 not if Derrick Henry all of a sudden comes up 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.280 lame and he's, oh, my hamstring hurts, I'm not playing today. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.359 It's the whole game is called off right. I thought 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.919 that was a good way, a good way to handle it. Um, 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.880 there's myriad different scenarios here. We just encourage you to 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.120 be flexible, be fair, and don't be like I got 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:55.519 a I got a guy in my league who's just 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.840 trying to turn everything to his advantage and trying to 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.680 wind his way into carrying a bunch extra play. Don't 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.560 do that. Let's let's jump into the man you want 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.119 to name names chart, Yes, I do want to name 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.800 names calling out let's go, let's do it. I'm not 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.040 doing it. Uh. Let's begin breaking down the matchups one 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.720 game at a time. Beginning with a real barn burner 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.160 Jacksonville at Cincinnati, which actually kind of is a barn 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.600 burner in years passed. This was dreadful, but there's a 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.160 lot of players from both sides you can go with here. Yeah, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.960 the battle of the Kitty Cats. Let's go James Robinson 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.760 We're gonna start with for Jacksonville gets an A grade. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.119 I think so week one. I admittedly kind of called 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.000 him a warm body as the starting running back for Jacksonville, 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.440 but I've been way off. I apologize, James Robinson, you 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.040 get the A. The Bengals have allowed these second most 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.480 rushing yartists and running backs and have yielded the third 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.720 most touches to the position in gold. You got scenarios. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.400 Love James Robinson here with three ground scorers already twelve 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.760 in rushing yards among running backs, third and receiving yards. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.480 Just an absolute jackpot so far for anyone who has 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.920 him on roster and who did the good times will 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.040 keep rolling this week against the Bengals. D J. Chark 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.240 likely to play this week, Yep, I'm gonna give him 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.120 a CE here. He's been limited with the chest injury 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.880 that held him out last week, but he should play. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.280 The Bengals are actually bottom seven and targets heeld to 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.640 what targets he yielded to wide receivers, meeting not a 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.680 lot of targets he looked to wide receivers and have 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.280 only allowed two scores to the position. Secondary is pretty good, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.560 William Jackson, particular corner or just the running defense is 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.720 so bad. They're finally to the past Noon Loan wide 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.599 out is it seventy five receiving yards seventy five receiving 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.880 yards against since the yet, but Chart could get there 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.200 if healthy. Gonna give him the C. For the other receivers, 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.599 Lavishka Chenult and Keelan Cole, I'll start with Keelan Cole, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.400 who's turning to a sneaky safe PPR play from the slot. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.520 Fellow seemster Greg Ward had eight catches, seventy two yards 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.720 and a touchdown against the Bengals last week, So I'm 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.880 giving Cole a C. Got a bench. Chenult though, super 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.880 exciting player, but super dangerous to start and see them 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.080 with formats. If Chark somehow doesn't go all up, all upgrade, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.359 he's gonna go. Yeah, So I got Chennault on the bench. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.240 Now that brings us to Tyler Eiffert. In the revenge game, 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.800 opposing tight ends have blown up the box score against 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.920 the Bengals. Chargers tight ends total ten targets for six 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.760 catches eighty three yards. Eagles tight ends thirteen catches for 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.000 I'm sorry, thirteen targets for ten catches and ninety two yards. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.400 That is Hunter, Henry and zach ERTs for the most part. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.960 Tyler Eiffert not those guys. But hey, since he let 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.840 him walk and this is a supposed shootout, so I'm 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.240 giving him a sea here and Gardner Minshew given him 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.200 a b no chart killed him last week. His left 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.840 tackle was also ejected early. Did not bode well for Minshew. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.920 But onward and upward with Gardner. Don't forget he has 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.880 wheels as well. Carson Rent Carson Wentz ran for sixty 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.960 five yards and a score against Since he last week, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.360 I think Minshew's a safe b uh in a high 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.200 scoring affair or what or what should be a high 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.720 scoring affair. Now over the Bengal side, Joe Mixing brutal 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.680 beginning to the season for him, but I'm gonna go 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.800 to bat for him. The Cincinnati offensive line is thirty 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.680 in adjusted line yards, and those remove the ability of 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.360 the running back basically, and what the opportunity that the 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.080 line presents to the running back. Thirty in adjusted line yards, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.920 twenty eight and second level yards, and thirty first in 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.000 open field yards. He's doing it all on his own. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.600 Still has touched to roles of and nineteen. Gotta keep 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.919 rolling with Joe, especially against jackson Ville, who are allowing 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.200 a hundred forty combo yards and a touchdown per game 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.320 to end the running backs. Doesn't it feel like this 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.720 is the breakout game for the season for Mixing, It's 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.480 gonna come. This happened last year. It's basically the same script, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.240 very slow starting. Uh, he'll get it going and come on, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.440 he's got He's got Joe Burrow behind him or in 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:37.920 front of him, I should say, but we'll talk about 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.200 him in a minute. To the receivers, Tyler Boyd, he 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.719 gets to be the Bengals, I'm sorry. The Jaguar is 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.719 only allowing a hundred thirteen yards pretty game to wide 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.760 receivers as a whole, but only one receiver has cracked 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.200 seven yards against him. That was Paris Campbell running from 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.440 the slot and Adam Humprey has had a good game 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.200 from the slot as well, five catches for forty yards 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.320 and a touchdown. So Tyler Boardy gets a b uh 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.760 sees for Tee Higgins and a J. Green, and I 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.359 like te Higgins more than a J. Green at this point. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.039 Higgins played the snaps last week, saw nine targets. He 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.599 ran the most pass routes of any wide receiver on 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.560 Burrows dropbacks. He gets the c i'lso give a J. 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.520 Green one as well. Just thirteen catches for a hundred 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.400 and sixteen yards across three games. But all those targets 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.080 you just figures sooner or later Burrow, if he's gonna 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.040 keep throwing that many passes to a J. Green sooner 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.160 or later, they're gonna connect. Yeah, and then then the 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.040 rust has to get knocked off at some point. Like 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.800 you said, the target totals nine, thirteen and six. Those 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.520 are healthy enough. Yeah, So a J. Green gets the start. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.400 Drew sample though everyone's favorite waiver wire wire Darling on 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.760 a on the waiver wire last weekend from a tight 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.560 end perspective, one target last week oops, he ran thirty 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.760 four routes on fifty two of Burrows drop backs. Not 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.200 looking like c j Uzoma in terms of reliable fantasy producer, 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.360 he's on the bench, and then Joe Burrow lastly, but 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.480 not leastly, an A. This is a real stat. Jacksonville 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:03.960 owns an opponent completion percentage of as the next highest 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.400 teams like seventy one big games by every quarterback to 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.120 face Jacksonville. Ryan fits Pastrick, Ryan Fit's Patrick just through 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.080 for two touchdowns and gash them on the ground. So 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.320 Joe Burrow gets an A this week. Joe Burrow right 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.320 now in most fantasy leagues roughly quarterback ten in fantasy 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.880 points scoring. I mean, that's what do you guess? And 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.160 this is first three NFL games. He's the real deal. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.320 Holy Field, what's what's the borough garbage time named? Brian? 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.680 Are your workshopping that one yet? I'll go back to you, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.080 all right, Okay, Indianapolis takes on Chicago. I've got just 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.000 a couple of starters on the Indianapolis side, and it's 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.160 primarily Jonathan Taylor's. You could guess a heavy usage day 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.400 coming here. Probably Taylor faces a Bears defense that has 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.880 allowed running back to score against them in seven straight games. Taylor, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.400 of course getting heavy, heavy usage UM although in Chicago's 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.960 defense in home games, they've allowed one one hundred yard 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.800 rusher in their last twenties six Soldier field games. That's it, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.520 So I don't know if the Taylor gets to one 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.200 hundred yards here, but a score is likely. The only 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.840 other starting grade I've got is for emerging tight end 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.720 mo Ali Cox with a see it's in part because 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.080 Paris Campbell and Michael Pittman have been ruled out of 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.000 this game, and that means Ali Cox is gonna get 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.240 that many more looks. And he's posted Fantasy relevant games 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.560 and back to back weeks, and he outsnapped Jack Doyle 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.760 last week, and it looks like he's gonna be the 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.280 designated pass catching tight end a little bit like Eric 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.120 Ebron was a few years ago. So he'll be back 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.760 in the mix. Here bears the middle of the packet 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.280 defending tight ends. They're giving up five receptions for forty 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.680 two yards per game. The rest of the the rest 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.160 of the Colts are on the bench. Even t Y Hilton, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.120 aside from Calvin Ridley, receivers have been rendered useless against Chicago. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.120 They're the only secondary that has not given up a 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.520 single touchdown to wide receivers. And this despite the fact 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.160 that he's had these easy, easy matchups every week rolling 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.920 into this game, he still hasn't scored. He's averaging forty 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.280 four yards per game, and he's had all these plus matchups. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.520 So now here's a bad matchup. So putting him on 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.560 the bench more like t Y Wilton. I like it. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:14.680 I will, by the way, I'm going with Burbish times 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.320 so bad alright, last thing on hilt and he's gonna 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.080 face an elite cornerback and Kyle Fuller, who's yielding just 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.760 passer rating of forty two in his coverage, is playing 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.880 very well as he often does. Nahem, heines way to random. 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.920 Philip Rivers is playing this sort of safe non fantasy 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.720 ball where he's completing a high percentage of his passes 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.760 without challenging downfield. Is our average yards per paths for 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.560 Philip Rivers six point nine, the same as Teddy Bridgewater. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.280 That's it. As a result, he's thrown just one touchdown 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.640 in every game and provides basically no upside. Let's go 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.920 to the Chicago side, where we've got a handful of 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.880 starting grades, and that is it. David Montgomery clocks in 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.360 with the c Tariko and his out so he's gonna 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.640 get almost all the work, but the matchup is difficult. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.640 The Colts have allowed the eighth fewest rushing yards and 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.400 the fewest total touchdowns to opposing running backs. Just one 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.959 no posing back his top sixty three yards and that 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.520 includes Dalvin Cook, who is way better than David Montgomery. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.400 So just to see grade on Montgomery here. The only 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.360 receiver I like is Allen Robinson. I think the quarterback 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.439 upgrade to Nick Foles will certainly help get this. Only 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:32.480 forty seven percent of Allen Robinson's targets from from I 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.120 was about to say, what are we gonna do with this? 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.679 I need to do a trombone like. I gotta trombone Ski, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.360 I really do. I'm just find ways to work him 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:46.920 into the matchups going forward. Of Allen Robinson's targets from 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.439 sad Trombone Ski were deemed catchable by Pro Football Focus. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.560 That's it can't even give you a coin flips chance 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.880 at a catchable pass. So the upgrade to Nick Foles 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.440 should certainly help here. Colts have allowed the third fewest 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.600 yards to receivers um and Robinson plays from all over 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.960 the field, which usually helps, but the Colts have got 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.960 solid cornerbacks at every spot, including the resurgent Xavier Rhodes, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.360 just the b on Allen Robinson. Nick Foles is on 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.760 the bench. I know he was heroic last week, but 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.800 he's been very inconsistent over his career and this is 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.120 a tough matchup against Pro Football focuses number one ranked 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.960 path defense. They've allowed the fewest passing yards by a mile, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.760 and I don't like any of his receiving matchups other 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.520 than Alan Robinson, Anthony Miller, Darnell Moody. That was our 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.280 spot starter guys against bad defense, as we are not 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.560 going up against the Colts solid secondary here with them, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.360 and Jimmy Graham is also on the bench. The Colts 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.600 have allowed the fewest yards to tight ends. It was 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.280 just picturing Trubisky trying to flip a coin and edicine 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:54.839 envision struggle. I think he I think he'd managed to 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.360 have the coin not hit the ground. That's I think 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.040 that's that would be the problem, no doubt. Up anti 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.560 gravity coins. An anti gravity coin. There you go. Me's 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.840 a Fantasy football weekly coin. When we come back, we'll 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.360 talk about the Chargers in a tough matchup against the 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.319 Buccaneers and the Bucks shorthanded in this game. What to 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.520 expect from those players? And nine players upon whom you 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.640 can take a chance. These are players not normally and 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.599 you're starting lineup, many of whom are available on the 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.080 waiver wire. We will tell you who they are. For 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.440 those with Steelers and Titans scrambling to find a starter, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:53.880 stay tuned to Fantasy Football Weekly.

This could be take a chance on 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.680 me and I would take it over the song we 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.360 just heard Somebody step on a duck take a poop 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.840 on Me by Odell Beckham. Let's begin at the quarterback position. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.360 Who's you take a chance to me? Quarterback Brian Matt 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.840 Stafford at home against the Saints who are now going 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.560 to be without starting corners Genores Jenkins and Marshawn Lattimore. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.440 You gotta love Stafford even more the healthy Kenny Golladay 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.440 back in the lineup, and unlike last season, you gotta 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.400 love the matchup against the Saints, who have surrendered passing 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.920 touchdown totals of two, three and three to start the season. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.720 They are bottom nine and passer rating allowed, with a 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.520 one oh eight passer rating allowed to opposing quarterbacks. And really, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.840 when you think about it, there haven't been many games 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.720 with a healthy Stafford, Golladay, Marvin Jones and t J. Hockenson. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.800 Hockinson was injured early last year, like in Week two, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:31.080 and uh Stafford got hurt mid season. So not Stafford. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.320 I might give him an a grade in this matchup 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.920 might number ten ranked quarterback this week? Matt, who is 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.640 your take a chance of me? Quarterback? I mean in 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.560 a week where you have a surprise bye week for 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.120 Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Tannehill. You might need to pick 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.560 up a guy like Teddy Bridgewater and start him. Uh. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.640 The Cardinals is his opponent this week, and they faced 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.400 off against Garoppolo, Stafford, and Haskins, who all put up 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.680 eerily similar numbers all right around thirty three passing attempts, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.440 two hundred fifty yards and two scores. Well, Bridgewater, he's 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:06.640 averaging two nine passing yards this year. Yes, it was 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.000 gonna throw for that eight yards at a time. To 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.280 fifty and two seems very doable for Teddy Bridgewater. I 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.840 think you can bank on that in this matchup. Might 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.640 take a chance to me. Quarterback is stew Beard. Yes, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.000 Ryan Fitzpatrick, you may remember last week when I recommended 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.160 that you start him, and because we got you, you 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.560 gotta pick your spots with him right when you've got 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.720 these when you know he's gonna throw a lot. Love 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.680 the yolo stylings of Ryan Fitzpatrick, and this is one 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.640 of those spots. The Seattle defense ranks dead last in 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.880 completions allowed, dead last in passing yards allowed, dead last 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.360 and pass rush by Pro Football Focus. Meanwhile, the run 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.000 defense ranks. Second, May's not gonna run the ball. They're 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.240 just gonna throw stew Beard's arm out of socket. And 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.920 you want a part of that. Isaiah Ford, by the way, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.960 sneaky deep play in this in this why wouldn't you 0:16:58.040 --> 0:16:59.600 use them and take a chance to me later in 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.000 this N one comment? Wow, but he is a sneaky 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.360 deep play, all right, Brian, who's you take a chance 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.600 of Mere? Running back? Yeah, we're not done picking on 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.119 the Seattle secondary just yet in this segment. But not 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.320 yet running back Latavius Murray, I'm staying in Motown. On 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.240 the other side, though, for the Saints going up against 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.480 the Lions, the Lions once stout run defense has gone 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:22.880 from proud to cowardly. They're allowing six plus yards per 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:31.160 carry and am good. Yes, Alvin Kamara is in god 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.719 mode right now. But Murray has at least twelve carries 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.760 in two of three games and has caught a pass 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.359 in back to back week so he will be serviceable 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.160 in Detroit this weekend. Matt, who's your take a chance 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.919 of Mere? Running back? Well, there's death, there's taxes, and 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:51.640 there's running backs against Carolina. Three things. I'm not going there. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.800 There are also death taxes. That's true. They will tax 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.600 you into the grave. Uh, well, you can run away 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.040 from this because Chase Edmonds is the guy that you 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.359 want to start. Last year, the Panthers allowed almost two 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.720 running back touchdowns per game. This year, they've allowed seven 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.879 running back touchdowns in three weeks. So if we carried 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.720 the nine, that's more than two. Oh my god, there 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.399 worse somehow. Kenyan Drake is still the bell cow, but 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.479 hasn't been totally amazing yet, averaging only four point one 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.160 yards per carry. Edmonds is averaging about six touches per game. 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.679 But at five point four yards per carry that the 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:33.320 Panthers are giving up, that's still thirty yards right there 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.159 to start, and we're gonna get more because there's no 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.880 reason to pass against the Panthers when you can run. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.879 So I think, I think, actually Kenyan Drake is just 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.439 gonna get tired in this game, and Chase Edmonds is 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.240 gonna have to hop in. Uh. You guys, remember Zack Moss, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.919 one of my favorite sleepers from the preseason. No, this 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.760 is your chance, this is your last chance to buy 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.560 him on the cheap. Right here. Last week we saw 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:03.320 a rookie breakout performance is from Justin Jefferson, Brandon I U. P. Higgins. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.800 These rookies that are now a month in that's this 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.920 is like their preseason has just happened. Now they're ready 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.520 to hit the ground running. Zack Moss, as you may recall, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.720 Week one, scored a touchdown, Week two, got hurt, Week 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.600 three didn't play. Here we were into week four and 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.119 he faces Las Vegas, the team that has allowed the 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.119 most fantasy points to running backs. They ranked thirty first 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:30.280 in yards per carry at six yards per carry. Mosses 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.280 in line to get goal line carries ahead of Devin Singletary, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.439 and the Raiders have allowed multiple rushing touchdowns to every 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.560 opponent Moss can catch, and the Raiders have allowed the 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.000 most receiving yards and the second most receptions to running backs. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.800 Both he and Devin Singletary sitting on nice games. Ryan, 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.120 who's gonna take a chance of your receiver. Let's get 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.199 Let's get back to the aforementioned Seattle secondary. This is 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.000 not a drill. These are real statistics. That Seattle has 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.119 allowed two wide receivers so far this season seven the 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.440 six catches. The next highest total among teams who have 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.159 played three games is forty seven. Cheez. The Jets have 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.200 allowed the third most the next worst team with fifty 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.600 and they played on Thursday night, So that's four games. 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.600 Next yards allowed to wide receivers by the Seahawks one thousand, 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:22.280 one hundred and thirty six in three games. Yes, Denver 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.080 is the next highest, who played four games with seven 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.560 hundred and nine four. I'm gonna pick on the secondary 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.080 way more when we get into the matchup. That's all 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:32.600 you need to know about Preston Williams. Get him in 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:37.119 your lineup, and probably Isaiah Ford like you mentioned as well, Matt. 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.800 Your take a chance of me receiver is Marquez Valdez scantling, 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:47.920 excellent pronunciation. Alan Lazard suddenly out indefinitely after undergoing core 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.520 muscle surgery on Thursday. Uh Davante Adams is still very 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.280 questionable at the hamstring injury. They're saying that he practiced 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.399 in a limited fashion. But it's a it's a Monday 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.520 nighter right before their bye week. Why wouldn't they save him? 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.159 Which means m VS is the number one wide receiver 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.560 in Green Bay and he's playing against Atlanta, that same 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.639 Atlanta team that has allowed five different wide receivers. To 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.040 top ninety yards already this year. Yep, I will pick 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.080 him up and start him all right. I am going 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:22.320 with Randall Cobb. He plays the slot receiver position for 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.960 Houston and they go up against Minnesota. Cobb coming off, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.399 by the way, an impressive game against these Steelers, a 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:31.199 much better defense yards in a score. But we're not 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.080 just chasing that box score because he has a juicy 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.800 matchup against an injury battered Vikings secondary missing its slot 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.240 cornerback Mike Hughes. He has been ruled out. His replacement 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.919 last week was rookie Jeff Gladney, who allowed one hundred 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.920
