It is week number eleven. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:28.360 Joining me today Scott Fish and in studio Brian Johnson. Ye, 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:30.479 welcome back. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.920 What's up boys? Good to be here. 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.760 Word on this street?

Yes, I'm back. Yeah. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.280 And your achilles in better shape. Your achilles is in 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:50.520 fantastic shape. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:51.639 They are feeling pretty good. 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:52.480 I've been checking them out. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.720 Don't knock on though, don't chinx me all. 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.520 Right with the achilles, We will be sure not to 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:56.840 do that. 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.800 That's why he wears Georges is to show off, show 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:00.720 off your chilles. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.560 Absolutely, absolutely, you have great in caprice. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.080 I want to tell you that I call them flood pants. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:07.880 That's what I had grown up. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:08.319 Uh. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.280 We're gonna break down every game Fantasy Football Weekly style, 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.440 with letter grades on every player. We're gonna do take 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.400 a chance on me with nine players that you would 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.840 not normally start. But you can hear I've got a 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:23.279 tremendous receiver option coming up. Ooh, three tough questions. As always, 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.160 premature speculations, only around for a couple more weeks. Enjoy 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.360 it while you can. We'll jump in the Fantasy Football 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.679 Weekly time Machine a little bit later in this show. Brian, 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.760 it's been a while since you been here. We're gonna 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.560 go right to you. Jacksonville taking on Detroit. Are there 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.280 any Jaguars to play in this game? 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:43.080 Uh? 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.920 Not many in this matchup with the big kiddies. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.760 Starting with the running backs for the Jaguars, I wasn't 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.680 give Travis Etna see if Tank Bigsby were to sit, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.960 but it sounds like Bigsby is going to play with 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.240 his ankle injury, so I have both etn and Bigsby 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.000 on the bench. If Bigsby is active. If Bigsby's out, 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.680 I will give etn ac. But it's not a great 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.720 matchup for either. Only one running back has topped forty 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.440 receiving yards against Detroit, so no receiving angle there, and 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.280 they're very tough against running backs. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:09.840 On the ground. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.359 No opposing back has breached one hundred yards against the Lions, 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.720 and then Detroit has also allowed just a rushing score 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.880 at the position in three the last four or they 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.560 have not allowed a rushing score in through the last four. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.960 Over to the receiving game for the Jaguars. Brian Thomas 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.440 Junior BTJ. Gonna give him a C if he plays 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.240 with the chest injury. He should. We all know that 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.000 Mac Jones is going to be the quarterbacks. Let's a 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.079 downgrade for the entire passing game. But BTJ has accounted 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.320 for twenty six percent of the Jaguars air yards recently 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.760 the highest share among Jaguars receiver receivers. Detroit is allowing 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.480 more than one hundred and eighty yards per game to 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.400 wide receivers in games script should favor the Jaguars pass game, 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.960 So I will give BTJ as C. But Gabe Davis 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.320 is on the bench. He is questionable to play, but even. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:55.040 He always off. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.280 Yeah, bet she's always on the bench. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.840 Evan Ingram not on the bench, show and give him 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.040 the b anger has led the Jags in slot routes 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.519 in the two games without Christian Kirk and last week 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.560 Ingram led the entire team with nearly a forty percent 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.880 target share. Since Week five, Detroit has allowed the most 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.720 receiving yards per game slot receivers, which is basically what 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.560 basically what Evan Ingrim is right now. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.960 So I mean they're the second worst on the season too. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.600 And speaking of bad mac Jones, he is on the bench. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.079 Yeah, he's on the bench, even though he's gonna throw 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.640 a lot in this game, most likely over to the 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.520 Detroit side, Jamiir Gibbs and David Montgomery, You're gonna give 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:33.080 both of them an A. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.120 It's gonna be a lot of a's for the Detroit here. 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.360 I mean Gibbs and Monty had the same number of 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.000 opportunities this season. Those are carries and targets, so they 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.080 are splitting the load. But it's a great matchup against Jacksonville, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.600 who has surrendered twelve total touchdowns over their last eight 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:49.880 games to running backs. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.880 Is this the rare double Fonsie. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.640 The double Fonsie, you. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.680 Gotta call it? This is Phonsie's your guy. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.360 I can't use I can't use the Fonzie on two guys. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.000 That's not very efficient. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.720 Over to the past game, Amanros Saint Brown gets an A. Shockingly, 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.360 the Jaguars are not one of the teams who picked 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.720 another wide receiver. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:14.280 Over sun God. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.320 But I still love uh Amanra on this matchup, and 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.800 Jamison Williams he gets to be. 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.200 Jamo and sun. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.839 God were the only wide receivers who were targeted for 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.760 Detroit last week, so they're the only two years starting 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.120 against Jacksonville, who has allowed the seventh most catches and 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.640 the fourth most yards to wide receivers this year. Over 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.919 to the tight end spot, Sam Laporta real iffy with 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.200 a shoulder injury. If he does suit up, I would 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.719 give him a bee. If he's out, people will go 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.000 to Brock right, but I think it's Zane Zilstra Who 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.160 you want Zilstra. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:48.479 I can't go either way. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.159 It's a great matchup though it is for every line, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.440 but the Jaguars allowing more than five catches and sixty 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.080 yards per game to tight ends. But if you're banking 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.640 on Laporta, don't you gonna need a backup plan in place? 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.240 And lastly, in a Jared goff it's the Jaguars help 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.200 of allowed multiple touchdown passes and six or. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.360 The last eight. Gotta love Gough, He'll bounce back from 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:08.440 the five interception game. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:08.920 I believe so. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.599 And by the way, five interceptions a lot worse than three, right, Yes, Okay, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.760 just wanted to make the king fans. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.360 Be aware of that. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.159 You're getting it. Check out. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.159 Okay, good making sure. 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.640 Scott Raiders taking on the Dolphins. And you know, we 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.320 were all really high on Brock Bauers coming into the season. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:30.680 You don't mind starting with Brock. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:31.599 Here's the thing. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.680 He is quietly on pace to set the all time 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.920 rookie receiving record. Nobody talking about it. What Brock right 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.919 is doing to the tight end position is no less 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.159 than what Jaden Daniels is doing at the quarterback position. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.640 No talk about Brock Bauers possibly in any way, shape 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.000 or form winning rookie of the. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.960 Yeah, they don't give it to quarterbacks. That's why it's 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.719 just the only give what it is. But yeah, absolute 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.000 monster year. That's why the A grade on him. Dolphin 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.840 have allowed ten for seventy one to tight ends last week, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.760 A score of the week before McBride went off for 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.600 like one hundred and twenty four the week before. You're 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.880 not benching him. He's got double digit fantasy points in 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.600 all but two games, so eight grade on Black Bowers. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.120 Let's stay in the passing game here, Gardner Minshew. I 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.360 have a bench grade on the Dolphins. Have allowed multiple 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.200 scores and two of the last three, but that was 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:24.119 Kyler Murley and Josh Allen. Minshew has topped two hundred 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.440 yards just once in the last five weeks, and that 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.600 was two hundred and nine yards. He barely top two hundred. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.240 He needs scores and he's just got three in those 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.640 five games, so he's on the bench. I do have 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.479 a B grade on Jacoby Myers, who he's been good 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.320 for a long time. We talked about this last year, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.560 but since DeVante Adams went out in Week three, no 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.159 receiver outside of Myers his top forty one yards. So 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.799 all the rest are on the bench. Yeah, for sure, 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.159 there were three random scores, but good luck predicting those. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.360 Myers himself though, six plus catches and three straight thirteen 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.680 plus Fantasy points in those three averaging no target. Are 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.479 nine targets per game since Week three win Adams went out. 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:01.960 That's a lot of volume. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.760 Yep, that would be if he finishes that way. I 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.640 think the I think the target leader right now is 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.240 at like eight and a half targets per game. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.600 Yeah, neighbors, Yeah you've You've heard me go over it 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.560 a couple times this season. But the Dolphins rank was 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.520 a bit of a mirage. Early in the season, the 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.680 top target getter against the Dolphins for wide receivers six 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.960 for even one hundred and eleven and one six for 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.080 fifty and nine for ninety eight. In the last three weeks, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.320 there was even another seven for eighty in there. I 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.400 got to be grade on Jacoby Myers. I like it. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.400 Over to the running game, I have bench grades on 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.560 all of them. But I understand the dart throw on 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.880 Alexander Madison just because of the pure volume. But he's 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.080 top sixty five total yards just once this year, and 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.360 it took twenty six touches. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.640 To get that meager number. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.520 Likewise, Miami and I picked sixty five specifically because like 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.240 Miami hasn't allowed a rusher to hit sixty five yards 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.280 since Week five. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.520 All right, So why are we not benching Alexander Madison Here. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.960 He's getting three catches a game and he's getting fifteen 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.000 touches a game. All right, it's the volume seed. Actually, no, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.720 I had a bench, I said a bench. He's a 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.320 dart throw. He's a dart throw bench Ah. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.960 Okay, when I hear dart throw, I think nope or startable. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.880 I have a bench. I have a bench grade with 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.040 the dart marker in case you're really frisky. Okay, over 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.160 over on the Miami. By the way, it's a mere 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.720 white eleven for twenty four yards in the last three games. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.760 He's so inefficient it's ridiculous bigness by all of us. Really, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.200 Miami onto the Miami side to a tag of a 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.559 tongue of Iloa. Bench grade here leads the league in 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.000 completion percentage, but that's due to being dead last in 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.320 average intended air yards five point four yards downfield, average 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.559 completed air yards three point four yards downfield. He's dumping 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.920 it off and leads the league in shortest time to throw, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.360 so they're hit. Their offense is get the ball out 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.840 quick to your running back. Yeah. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.800 This problem is that doesn't equal fantasy points. No field 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.880 passing for Devon. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.360 If only they had players that can catch doudfield, right, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.720 I can't think of anybody. Yeah, only averaging two hundred 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.600 and thirty yards and a score with no multiple score games. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.280 I know the Raiders just got torched by Burrow and Mahomes. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.640 But this isn't really the Miami offense right now, so 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.440 he's on the bench. I do have a B grade 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.160 on Tyreek Hill though, double digit Fantasy points in the 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.160 last three straight, although last week he had to get 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.160 saved with the score. But he does have a great 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.520 matchup against Jack Jones, who's allowed a one hundred and 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.320 six rating against and three scores three of the seven 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.040 Las Vegas scores allowed to wide receivers. Jalen Wattle I 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.200 have on the bench. Is that controversial or not? 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.520 Not really? Honestly, if you'd have benched him in their 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.680 whatever ten games this year, I don't know if I remember, 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.720 for they had their buy now games this year, you'd 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.839 have been right on like eight out of the nine. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.040 Waddle hasn't topped four catches since week one. He hasn't 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.760 topped sixty yards since week one. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.439 I was about to say, you might put him on 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.520 the waiver wire at this point. Not the bench. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.240 Sabotage drop, Oh not much of the sabotage. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.160 Yeah, well we'll find out. We're gonna talk little sabotage drap. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.320 Yeah, it gets the tougher draw of Jacorey and Bennett 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.040 allowing just thirty six percent come depletion rate in sixty 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.200 point eight percent rating against. Raiders haven't allowed a sixty 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.319 yard receiver since Week four and just three on the 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.800 year total. Just a bad spot for him, so he's 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.520 on the bench. John O'smith. John O Smith, however, is 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.680 gaining a B grade, averaging about five catches per game. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:15.440 Uh. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.839 The last two weeks, the Raiders have been torched by 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.839 tight ends. Gasseki went off last week, Kelsey went off 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.160 the week before, just a bee as JOHNO doesn't quite 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.440 see the volume that those guys do. Though. Devin Devon 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.880 a CHAN however, A grade at his best, he's at 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.160 his best with like that ten to twelve rushes and 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.720 like five catches per game. Yes, and that's kind of 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.600 what he's been doing lately. He's averaging six for fifty 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.720 through the air in two of games. So that's eleven 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.800 Fantasy points right there in PPR. So that's already getting 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.480 you to a B. Then you add on the ten 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.320 to twelve rushes. I have an A grade for him there. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.120 Raheem Mostert. They said last week's was games completely for 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:57.840 that unique game script. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.400 Interesting that the one carried. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.679 Yeah, Mike McDaniel said that that was specifically for that 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.800 game script, so there's hope for him. I could give 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.760 him a seat. I'm going to give him a bench though, 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.080 because Jalen Reight got five carries and I don't know 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.760 how much they're going to start to split, so I'm 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.040 going to keep him on the bench right now. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.439 Yeah, I agreed with that. We're gonna try to sneak 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.880 in one more Green Bay taking on Chicago. Lots of 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.560 variables with the Bears right now, coaching change, possible team 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.319 implosion or possible team rally, maybe benchings. They've got three 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.760 injured offensive linemen, a couple could miss the game. Josh 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.720 Jacobs will start with an eight grade. The surest easiest 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.600 way to beat the Bears is on the ground. They've 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.960 got a strong secondary, which will outline in a second volume. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.520 Backs farewell against Chicago. Backs with sixteen or more carries 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.960 average one hundred one total yards and almost a full touchdown. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.640 He's averaging Jacobs eighteen carries, so he's above that threshold. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.280 Emmanuel Wilson not really a threat. He's had just four carries, 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.320 four carries and four carries the last three games, so 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.720 we got an eight grade on Josh Jacobs in this one. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.880 Let's go to the passing game and my favorite angle 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.880 for the Packers, Tucker Craft sitting on a big game. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.959 The Bears are getting nuked by tight ends over the 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.080 last month, opposing tight ends averaging seven catches for eighty 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.199 nine yards. Oh, if that were applied to the full season, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.600 they would be easily the worst tight end defense in 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.880 the league. And Chicago's been rocked recently by Austin Hooper 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.199 Elijah Higgins. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.120 So yeah, all pros, all pro I mean literally, they're professional. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.560 They're all professionial, all professionals. That's right. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.199 Since Luke Musgrave's serious ankle injury back in Week four, 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.920 Craft has seen all but three targets to Green baysed 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.480 tight end position, So a great spot for him. In 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.760 an A grade on Tucker Craft, Jalen Reid Jay didn't. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.719 Reid comes in with a B grade. He runs from 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.320 the slot, so he's gonna avoid elite cornerback Jalen Johnson 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.440 we'll talk about in a minute. Instead will face Kyler Gordon, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.480 who is also good. He's just not elite. Gordon hasn't 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.760 allowed a touchdown all year, he's giving up just thirty 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.760 yards per game in his coverage. That said, Reid is 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.760 the best slot receiver Gordon has seen all year, and 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.800 he's just a good player. So he's still in at 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.520 a B grade. Here, Romeo Dobbs slumps down to a 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.079 C and maybe even a bench grade. He's gonna see 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.880 a lot of Jalen Johnson, maybe the league's best cornerback. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:18.240 Johnson's average game allowed in his coverage is insane one 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.719 and a half catches, twenty one yards per game and 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.200 zero scores. Dobbs has massive downside in this one. In fact, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.520 I'm putting him on the bench. Out of the bench, Romeoops, 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.400 there you go. Your dart throw is Christian Watson. So 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.200 if Johnson's gonna be on Dobbs, Watson is going to 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.760 see Tyreek Stevenson. You all remember Tyreek Stevenson from the 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.840 Hail Mary play with the Washington Commanders. You know that 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.600 worked out. He's now allowed two scores in his last 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.080 three games. He's Pro Football focuses eighty sixth ranked coverage cornerback, 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.840 and even though he's not on the field a ton, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.080 he's on a lot more than other receivers that you 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.640 could go through down the depth chart, and I think 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.800 he's got a chance here at one of those Christian 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.880 Watson patented big big games or at least big plays. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.120 So that leaves us with Jordan Love. His grind injury 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.000 fully healed. Love put up two very good games against 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.360 Chicago last year. He finished his quarterback two and quarterback 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.040 three for those two weeks in the matchups against Chicago, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.280 and his receivers matchups range in the a's, b's, and c's. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.400 So I've got a B grade on Jordan Love in 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.040 this one. On the Chicago side, the entire passing game 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.000 is obviously on the bench, obviously, and there's no helping 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.360 this group right now, and they've lost the benefit of 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.000 the doubt. Including DJ Moore. Here's the yardage of his 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:42.560 last four games. Twenty yards, twenty seven yards, thirty three yards, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.960 and twenty four yards no scores. He is the eighth 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.840 highest paid wide receiver in the NFL. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.840 Well, he runs routes out of bounds. He runs right 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:51.480 out to the bench. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.680 Yeah, just doesn't tell you the route, now, Yeah, that's right. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.880 Continue your out route all the way into the bench 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.480 and just sit down. So and this and more is 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.040 the good receiver of this group, so they're all out. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.440 Last guy we're going to talk about here, DeAndre Swift. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.280 Swift had a great October, but its November and September 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.200 were miserable. As you look at the totality of the 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.680 struggles of this offense, have weighed a DeAndre Swift down. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.360 I expect a lot of volume from Swift in this game, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.520 but let's watch the tackles, right, Braxton Jones, Darnel Right, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.720 If they're not healthy enough to block in front of him, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.200 I don't think you can start him. If they do go, 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.480 then I'm okay with a C grade on Swift. Mostly 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.960 through volume packers right in the middle of the league 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.600 in every run defensive metric, and man, do they need 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.680 to get some running game going in Chicago. Get a 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.360 little heat off that passing offense. When we come back, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.760 take a chance on me. Nine players that you can 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.920 start that you normally would not. Many of these guys 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.720 are available on the waiver wire. Will tell you who 0:15:50.760 --> 0:16:15.400 they are when we come back. Take a chance on 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.280 me nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Find 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.640 out who you can pick up off the waiver wire potentially, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.720 and start. We begin at the quarterback position and Scott 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:25.560 Fish or. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.520 Possibly just a guy you have been starting that's on 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.280 your bench. For me quarterback this week week, I'm going 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.560 with Justin Herbert. Bengals allow the fourth most fantasy points 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:39.560 to quarterbacks, allowing bottom ten in attempts, completions, passing yards, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.280 passing touchdowns. They're also the worst in the league against 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.560 fantasy quarterbacks on the ground. Justin Herbert ran it nine times. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:50.200 Last shot nine times. Yeah, shot on the uphick. But 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.680 that also kind of tells you that maybe that ankle 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.000 injury that started the season, maybe that was the cause 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.520 of some of the low volume and the lack of 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:02.320 running and rough day against Tennessee last week obviously, but yeah, 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.960 despite that, he has three hundred plus or multiple scores 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:06.879 and four straight I like. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.720 I like that they're opening up the passing offense more. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.760 And it might just be because JK. Dobbins isn't running 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.840 like he did earlier in the year yea, so maybe 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.480 they're forced to. But I like that we're getting some 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.560 volume out of Justin Herbert. Nap Brian, let's go to 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.000 yr take a chance at me quarterback. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:27.880 Speaking of mobile quarterbacks, how about Drake May has. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.240 The Rams this week at home. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.919 May is second in scrambling yards versus pressure among quarterbacks. 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:34.520 I bet he is. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.760 He has even played. He has even played four and 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.200 a half games. Drake May is averaging the season nearly Yeah. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.280 On the season, he's averaging nearly ten yards per carry. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.320 He has two hundred and thirty three yards on twenty 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.680 five carries. Put that into perspective. Anthony Richardson has two 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.880 hundred and forty two yards on forty one carries. Josh 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.040 Allen two sixty one on fifty five. Drake May is mobile, 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.600 af like he has established, has to be a very 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.840 nice rushing floor. And there's upside potential in the passing 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.560 game here against the Rams, who have allowed the eighth 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.920 highest passing yards per game, the eighth highest passer rating, 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.480 and the second highest pass yards per attempt. So I 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.760 was begging you to trade Drake May to you in 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.320 the Empire earlier this season. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:15.640 Charge. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:16.280 Thank you very much. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.080 You're welcome. I am so upset Drake May baller. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.000 Russell Wilson, I don't even know if he qualifies for 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.760 take a chance on me. I don't know. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.360 You know, some of these are just guys. You don't 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:26.119 start very often. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.639 Right. Let's wake up to Russell Wilson, who's finished as 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.280 a top ten quarterback in two of his three starts, 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.159 and this is the easiest matchup of his year, at 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.399 least until he plays the Ravens again next month. Baltimore 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.959 gives up the most passing yards three hundred and fourteen 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.080 per game, the most passing touchdowns two point one per game. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.760 Five of the past six quarterbacks to face the Ravens 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.440 have thrown multiple touchdowns, and four of the past five 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.480 have topped three hundred and thirty four yards. Kyle Hamilton 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.480 may not play in this game. It's all set up 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.960 for another solid finish for Russell Wilson. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.520 I saw that Wilson needs two touchdown passes and he 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.480 will be the He led the most touchdown passes since 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.200 Ben Roethlisberger retired, and. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.840 He's any Steeler. 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:11.919 That's four games. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.920 That's four games. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.720 Yeah, it's gonna be game four and he's gonna top 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.119 anything Kenny Pickett did in the season. Unbelievable. Let's go 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.760 to the running back position, and it is thin this week. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:25.960 We as a group, we struggle. Yeah, fine, guys here. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.840 And this might be another one. He's on a roster, 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.840 but you haven't been starting him because he hasn't been 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.600 gaining a lot of yards. Minds, Nick Chubb. The Saints 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.959 and Browns are tied for the second most rushing plays 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.520 over twenty yards allowed, and which is good for chob 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.520 and Kamara on the other side of that same matchup, 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.000 but Saints are fourth worst against runners, allowing the highest 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.040 yards per carry at five point two per clip, which 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.680 is again very good for Job. Seventh most total yards, 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.639 second most scores allowed to backs, good spot for job, Brian, you're. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:54.640 Taking a chance with me running back? 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.760 Yeah, Denver's Audric estimay at home against the Falcons. Now 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.600 adds are Estima was added in your league this week, 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.399 use the top pickup among running backs, But you're questioning 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.240 if you should start him against the Falcons, and I 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.240 think you should. Estimate led the Broncos backs an opportunity 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.960 share last week, also average and impressive two point one 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:17.439 yards per contact after attempt. Javonte Williams and Julia McLoughlin 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.240 have not been getting it done. Estimate should be the 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.000 lead back against the Falcons, who have allowed the eleventh 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.560 highest explosive run rate in the twelfth most rushing yards 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:27.600 per game to the position. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.440 All right, I can't. It's very rare that I throw 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:31.800 to take a chance to be a player who I 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.040 probably would not give a letter grade two. But again, 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.840 if pickens are thin this week, so just work with me. 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.439 Here and a bunch of teams on by Houston running 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:45.199 back dare Agon Bowwalla. Sure, here's the thinking. You have 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.960 to think two things are going to happen. One, Houston 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.240 is going to blow out the Cowboys, much like the 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.640 Eagles did last week. Obviously, the Dallas offense looks dead 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.520 in the water, and here's Houston. They're going to get 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.000 an uptick with Nico Collins coming back. And then secondarily 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.160 you have to think into this as well. Houston needs 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.520 to start taking some mileage off of Joe Mixon. He's 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.920 averaging a league high twenty six carries per game. They 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.840 can't keep running Joe Mixon like this. So if youu 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.160 sting his way ahead, Daria Gumbowale is the backup right now. 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.560 Damian Pierce, still hurt, may play in this game. But 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.240 why would you bring in an injured player with a 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.600 groin injury into a blowout game? I don't think Pierce 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.560 is going to be a factor here even if he's available. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.959 So in last week's blowout against Dallas, the Eagles backup 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.600 runners totaled seventy three yards. The week before that, Atlanta's 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.880 backup Tyler L. Geers scored a touchdown. So, Daria Gumbowale, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:40.200 I get it. 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.000 It is thin week. I'm gonna throw the two from 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.399 the last matchup on here as bonus is where raheem 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.560 mostered in what could be a blowt on Miami side. 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:47.960 He gets a bunch of run at the end and 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.000 a miredula in the blowouts. He gets three plus catches 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:52.399 in each of the blow outs because he's in there 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.600 on passing down work. I could see four or five 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:55.280 catches out of that. 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.560 So some deep Darth throws, some deeper Darth. 0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:58.960 Throws because they weren't as deep as week. 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.680 All right, I like it. Go to the receivers, Scott. 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.919 I'm gonna get a little grimy here, actually, Marquez Valdez 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.960 scantly as you like to call it. The New Orleans 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.200 Saints Cleveland allows the fifth most Fantasy points to the 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.840 perimeter and have allowed the fifth most twenty plus yard receptions. 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.120 MBS's average depth of target is twenty three yards. He's 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.720 kind of saying he is kind of their deep guy. 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.080 Last week he led with all the injuries they have 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.000 out there, he led the wide receivers in routes, run targets, 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.240 red zone target snaps, all of it. So he could 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.280 be out there quite a bit again this week. Jamal 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.560 Williams is out, so they only have one. He could 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.479 be out there a lot. A couple of deep targets 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:40.160 is all it'll take. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:41.480 It's not gonna be Mason Tipton. 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.960 Yeah, I'll tell you that. Yeah, he is not working. 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:47.160 No, that is not working out, Brian, You're taking chance 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:47.720 from your receiver. 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.959 All right, I'm gonna get even grimier. M I Nngo 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.040 and Mingo. 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:52.480 Was his name. 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.399 I got Jonathan Mingo. No, I'm just kidding. I'm not 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.480 doing that. I'm still laughing at that trade. I decided 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.560 to take a shot at the old Jared Mingo traded. 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.159 Hilarious anyway. In reality, I have Ricky Parasol of the 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:06.480 forty nine ers at home against the Seahawks. A lot 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.040 of malice defeat in forty nine er Land Pearsall might 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.480 be fourth or fifth in the pecking order, but he's 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.480 worth a dart throw against the Seahawks, who have allowed 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.240 the fourth most fantasy points per game and the third 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.320 most receiving yards per game to boundary wideouts. That is 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:23.080 what pearsall is. So let's go Ree bulletproof. 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.440 Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out of Sunday's big matchup 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.320 with the Chiefs. That puts Dawson Knox on the field 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.640 for almost every snap, maybe all of them, who knows, 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:35.280 against the league's worst tight end defense, Kansas City dead 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.879 last in receptions and yards allowed to tight ends, Kansas 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:42.200 City giving up seventy eight yards per game to the position. 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:46.520 That is ten more than the thirty first ranked tight 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.320 end defense. And if you think Dawson Knox isn't a 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.399 big enough name for you, let me mention this last 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:58.080 week against Kansas City, Adam Trautman and Lucas Krawl combined 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:02.199 for fifty five yards against Kansas City. Dawson Knox I 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.840 love him. This week. I could build whole DFS lineups 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:06.960 just around Dawson Knox. 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:08.240 Fort Knox. 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.760 He's like, let's go Fort Knox on that. I like it. 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.639 Let's also go to the Los Angeles Rams taking on 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.360 the Patriots Brian Kyron Williams one of my very favorite 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.480 plays of the day. I've either got him first or 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:23.800 second among my running back rankings this week. 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.760 Yeah, easy for my boy, Kyron. 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.280 New England allowing more than one hundred and forty five 0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:30.800 combo yards and a touchdown per game to running backs. 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:32.960 So you are starting Kiren obviously, you are going to 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.600 start Poka Nakua as well. He gets an A fourteen 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.200 targets for Puca last week, the rest of the Rams 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.560 wide receivers combined for sixteen. Now this is on a 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.400 like a per game basis. We know Puka's missed some time. Yeah, 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:49.240 but he's being targeted even more this year than in 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.280 his than in his historic rookie season last year. His 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.080 target up percentage was twenty eight percent last year, thirty 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.919 two percent this year with a Cooper Cup pretty healthy, 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.880 So Puka in line for a big game. Cooper Cup 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.399 has potential as well, but only b for him. Volume 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:05.280 in game script are a bit of a concern for 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.680 Cup and Pooka for that matter, But still going to 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.480 start Cup. New England is allowing only twelve catches unless 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:12.920 than one hundred and fifty yards per game to white 0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:14.719 House as a whole not great, but I don't know 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:16.800 how you're sitting Cooper Cup in any format. 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.040 The thing I like about Cup is the Patriots' best 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.960 corners of the two outside corners, and so I like 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.240 working around those two. And I think I'm more optimistic 0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:26.199 about Cup than you are here. 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:28.160 I think, yeah, they'll work the middle of the field 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:28.600 a lot. 0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.080 And that's why I kind of like Davis Allen tight 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:34.200 end for the Rams, not my boy Colby Parkinson. Sadly 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.760 it appears to be over for Colby. I was in 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.080 on him in the preseason. But it is a great 0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:40.960 spot playing tight end for the Rams and a good 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.240 matchup for Davis Allen, who caught five of six targets 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.080 last week. New England allowing nearly five catches and fifty 0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.439 yards per game to tight ends. We'll take that in 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:51.880 the wasteland if you're desperate. Davis Allen is out there, 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:53.800 so I grab him if you need him. But I 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:55.760 do have Matt Stafford on the bench. Just because all 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.080 his receivers have starting grades doesn't mean they're all going 0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.280 to come through. They just have that potential. Stafford zero 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.840 or one touchdown pass in seven of nine games this year. 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:05.680 Not great. 0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:07.639 Feels like more of a Kiren game this week. So 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.840 Stafford on the bench over the New England side. Most 0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.800 of them are on the bench, but not Ramandre Stevenson. 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:14.680 Gonna give him a bee. 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.439 Since Week eight, Stevenson has played at least seventy percent 0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.880 of the offensive snaps in every game, averaging twenty touches. 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.280 That's basically bellcout territory. 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.080 And Rombo has a nice matchup on paper against LA, 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.800 allowing one hundred and forty four combo yards to backs 0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.879 on nearly thirty touches per game. So I like Stevenson. 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.800 I don't like Kishan Butte to Mario Douglass or Jalen Polk. 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:39.040 You just don't know who's going to get it done 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.199 in this game. So they're all on the bench for me. 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:43.760 Hunter Henry is not though he gets to see opposing 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:47.000 tight ends or averaging five catches sixty yards per game 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.920 against the Rams. Will also take that in the tight 0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:51.919 end Wasteland and Drake may I love him. 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:53.320 Might take a chance on me quarterback. 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:57.600 Yeah, there we go, Ramondre Stevenson. Sadly, you know running 0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:01.200 backs have a short life span and this one is 0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.760 I feel like we're gonna lose one of the really 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:10.000 good Ramandre Stevenson's years behind this terar offensive line, and 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:12.399 you know, just a season that was over before it 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:16.199 started with the Patriots. Whereas in some other universe, Romandri 0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:19.560 Stevenson in twenty twenty four is a fourteen hundred yard 0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.080 rusher with thirteen touchdowns. 0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:22.960 You know he would been the best running back in 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:24.680 the Belichick era, right. 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.600 Well, I mean pretty much arguably, although Belichick would always 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.840 have that Spike, the weird Spike year where somebody would. 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:34.439 Go Cyrus Gray or whatever was that his name, Jonas 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:35.080 that was. 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.920 A spike game. I'm thinking of the Spike seasons called 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:41.240 Carrott Blunt when he led the NFL and rushing touchdowns 0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.439 one year. Rn Jarvis green ellis there we go some 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.800 of the classics from the Belichick era. When we come 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.200 back Browns and Saints. There's not a lot to like here, 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.639 but it's Yolo Winston in a revenge game? Are you 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:59.120 starting Jamis Winston Cedric Tillman find out when we come 0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:18.840 back Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.920 We've got a block of games for you. Paul Chargia 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.520 Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you, Scott we Go 0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:29.080 Brown's Saints. I don't know where this qualifies on the 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:30.440 revenge scale. 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.000 Because everybody likes Jamison. 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:35.440 With Jameis Winston, everybody had nice things to say about him. 0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.120 I don't know. I don't sense that there's like a 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:42.280 real like revenge motivation here. But Brian, Brian's the official 0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:47.400 revenge spokesperson here at at a revenge counter. What do 0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.360 you what do you think it's moving? 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:53.320 Oh, let's put it that way, talking about this revenge game. 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:55.880 Because he had to move from Yeah, yeah, that's. 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:56.480 What I'm talking. 0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:57.320 Yeah, that's what you meant. 0:28:57.400 --> 0:28:58.000 I'm excited. 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:00.600 Okay, put it all right. I'm I do have a 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:01.920 se grade on Jameis Winsday. 0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:02.800 I like it more than you do. 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.240 Even Yeah, well I could be talked into a bee 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.960 very easily, honest one, as you got. He's second behind 0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:12.320 only Anthony Richardson in average completed air yards when connecting 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.600 its downfield. Really to know when's surprised with Jameis Winstein. 0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.720 The Saints rank middle of the pack against quarterbacks due 0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.760 to mostly being a bend, don't break type of defense. 0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.000 They allow the fourth most yards. They have three hundred 0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:26.720 plus yard passers and half their games, but just eight 0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.720 passing touchdowns allowed in on the season. 0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:30.120 Yeah. 0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:32.840 Reminder that Marshawn Latimore is no longer there. I know 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.160 he missed some time anyway, but he's no longer there. 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.920 Just two multi score games against the New Orleans Saints. 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:39.600 So I have a C grade. You could talk me 0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:42.040 into a bee because I have grades on basically all 0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:43.400 his receivers in this one. 0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.160 Cedric Tilman, I think, and Latimer would have been perfect 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.160 on Cedric Tillman because Tilman's a big bodied, physical receiver. 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.600 As long as Tilban's on the right, because they're on 0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:54.800 the left, gad right. Latimore stays on one side, stays 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.560 on the right. Uh yeah, Cedric Tillman. I have an 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:01.720 A grade on Tillman weeks seven through nine, the three 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:04.760 weeks before the bye, Tilman was Fantasy Wide Receivers number 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:08.680 one wide receiver love twenty one for two fifty five 0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.520 and three scores on thirty two targets in those three games. Now, 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:13.960 two of them were Jamis games. The third one Jamis 0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.160 came in at the end, but he targeted Tilman three 0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.600 times and the two point conversion caught a twenty five 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:24.280 yard er. Saints. This allowed the six most receptions, third 0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.200 most yards to wide receivers. But here's where Tilman comes in. 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.480 Third most pass plays over twenty yards, the most pass 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:34.080 plays over forty yards allowed. That's Tilman. He's the deep guy. 0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:37.479 He's the deep guy all right. On Tilman, I gave 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:39.200 him in a I gave him to May because he's 0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.960 getting a few deep shots per game, catching three of those, 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.880 and two scores on twenty plus yards from Tilman, so 0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.360 eight grade there. I have c grades on Judy and 0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:50.680 more because the target distribution is actually very even with 0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:54.560 Winston more twenty one targets, Tilman twenty, Judy nineteen in 0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.239 these two games. Just a lot of targets for all 0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:00.880 of them. But Jerry Judy hasn't scored Week one, Elijah 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:04.160 Moore hasn't scored this year, so that's really tough. The 0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.760 Saints allowed the most fantasy points to the slot completely 0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:10.560 and as I just mentioned, more leads and targets with 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:13.320 Winston out there, the low a hot sucks and Morse 0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.000 catch right of eleven of those twenty one sucks. But 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.680 he's getting the volume, he's getting the work. Jerry Judy 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:21.200 has five plus catches and seventy plus yards in both 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.240 Jamis games. They're getting just enough to be C level, 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.320 so I got C grades on them, David and Joku. 0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.960 I got a B grade on the lead. The lead 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.600 tight end against the Saints has top forty yards in 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:37.120 all but one game, so consistently getting yards on them, 0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.240 but only one score. As evidenced by earlier they're just 0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:43.320 not breaking. They're not allowing the passing touchdowns, but they're 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.200 allowing ten tons of yards. The last two were four 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:48.880 for fifty five, four for eighty seven from the tight ends. 0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:53.200 In Djoku himself four straight games with five plus catches 0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.800 averanerging about fifty yards. So if you're telling me five 0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:58.120 for fifty and a coin flip for a score, that's 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.320 that's probably a B grade out of Ndjoku. And of 0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.240 course Nick Chubb was my take a chance on me 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.720 runner over on the New Orleans side, I do have 0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:07.719 a bench grade on Derek Carr. I know he's been 0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:11.400 C level serviceable since his return. With that two hundred 0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.040 and fifty yards and one to two scores, this is 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:17.640 a top ten Browns pass defense against the pass that 0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:21.240 have allowed multiple scores and lots of yards and four 0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:23.520 straight I get that, but let's look at let's look 0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:26.040 at what they've done the first half of the season. 0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:30.400 Prescott Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Minshew held completely down under two 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:34.400 hundred or around two hundred the last five games. Jane Daniels, 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.840 Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert are 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.080 the ones that scored all those points. Derek Carr is 0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:43.440 more like the first half, so I can see given 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.400 him a C grade. It might it might be a 0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:47.440 place where he'll have to throw a lot, but I 0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:49.400 think I think I'm gonna leave him on the bench. 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.960 Marquez Valdez Scantling was the only receiver I would I'm 0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:55.800 willing to start in this pass offense, and I gave him. 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.720 I take a chance on me player Taysom Hill. I 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.320 get the dart throw, like he had sixty three percent 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.560 participation last week. He was running routes a lot. Andy 0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:08.560 got four carries because they don't have anyone behind Kamara, 0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:10.320 and they don't have any wide receivers, so he's got 0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:11.720 to be out there a lot. So I get the 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.360 dart throw. I still wouldn't do it. It's a tough 0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:17.120 defense against tight ends. I wouldn't do it there. I 0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.800 can elaborate if you want, but you know they're top 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.240 seven in a lot of categories against tight ends. B 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:26.000 grade for Alvin Kamara. The Browns allow a lot of explosives, 0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.440 second most rushes over twenty plus yards. They rank six 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.600 best against fantasy running backs. And the part where which 0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.760 really sucks for Kamara is the Browns allow twenty four 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.440 scoreless yards per game against backs, no scores, and just 0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:42.960 twenty four in the air. Yes, excuse me, in the air. 0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.680 That's Kamara's game. I'm gonna go with the Kamara side 0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:47.760 because I feel like he's the best one they will 0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.640 have faced out of all of them. He's averaging five 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:54.080 plus catches in seven straight. They just have no receivers. 0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.040 They're gonna have to get that five plus catches in 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.000 fifty to sixty yards that he's averaging. So pair that 0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.040 with the fifteen team plus touch volume he gets. I'm 0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:04.400 gonna give him the B grade in this one. 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.040 Taysom Hill as a goal line threat as well. 0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.799 Yeah, very possible, very possible. That's why he gets the dart. 0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.400 I him on the bench, But he gets the dart for. 0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.280 That Ravens taking on the Steelers in a huge mismatch. 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:18.760 The kryptonite for the Ravens and Lamar Jackson is the Steelers. 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:22.360 We'll talk this through here. Dereck Henry, I believe, is 0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:27.560 sitting on potentially a huge volume game the Steelers. The 0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:31.000 pass rush for the Steelers so good, it's just easier 0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:33.640 to run on them if you can. The Steelers just 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:35.880 a middle of the pack run defense, and the Ravens 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:40.040 rank number four in ESPN's run block win rate. So 0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:42.200 Henry should be sitting on a very big game. And 0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:43.680 of course you were going to start him anyway, but 0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:47.319 no hesitation here whatsoever. Let's go over to the passing game. Say, 0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:50.800 Flowers has been an all or nothing fantasy producer, and 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.359 a lot of that is if Henry just dominates the game, 0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.399 then there's not enough ball to go around for Jay 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.279 Flowers sometimes, and he posted it up last week, but 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.720 he was solid in four of the five games prior 0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:02.560 to that. And Jay Flowers is also really good, so 0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.320 I mean there's that too. Flowers runs from all parts 0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:08.359 of the field, evenly left right slot, and that means 0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:11.200 he'll see all three of the Steelers starting cornerbacks, and 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.320 really none of them a troubling matchup. They've got PFF 0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:18.279 rankings in coverage as cornerback seventy, cornerback eighty nine, and 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:19.520 quarterback one hundred. 0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:22.160 Dait was Porter one of those one of those. 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:25.000 Really, you know, I've got this theory on Joey Porter Jr. Okay, 0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:29.480 if his name was I don't know, Willie Jackson, we 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.560 wouldn't think anything about him. But his name is Joey 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:33.320 Porter Junior. 0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:35.560 He went for a long stretch last year, allowing like 0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:38.480 twenty some yards per game. But yeah, maybe this year. 0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:40.120 Maybe he's just kind of a guy this year. 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.320 Okay, that's interesting. Interesting. 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.239 Mark Andrews surged last week with Isaiah likely out, but 0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:48.840 likely's probably going to come back for this one. Andrews 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:51.120 has scored in four of the last five. Steelers are 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.839 one of the better tight end defenses, but good tight 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:58.080 ends find their way to productive days. Kyle Pitts, zach Ertz, 0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:00.320 Brock Bauers, Jake Ferguson. 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.000 I wanted noted for the record. He just called Kyle 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:02.960 Pitts a good tight end. 0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:04.600 I said, good, Yeah, good. 0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:06.840 We're gonna talk about Kyle Pitts a little later on 0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:07.640 this show. 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:09.080 And that'll be the rest of the show. 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:10.960 How did Brad get the Felcons again? 0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:12.160 How did that work out? 0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:12.560 He? Uh? 0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:15.400 Those receiver are those tight ends averaging six catches for 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:19.239 fifty yards. So Mike Mark Andrews a C grade with 0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:22.520 likely and a B grade without likely in this matchup. 0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:24.600 Let's go over to by the way. If you haven't 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:28.360 dropped Deontay Johnson yet, drop Deontay Johnson. Let's go to 0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.640 the Pittsburgh side. Russell Wilsons might take a chance on 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.600 me quarterback. Let's go to George Pickens surging under Russell Wilson. 0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:38.080 He's finished as a top four Fantasy wide receiver in 0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:42.360 two of three Wilson starts. And as I mentioned last segment, 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.080 Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton may not play in this game 0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:49.040 after his ankle sprain last week. And Hamilton is the 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:53.080 perfect guy to pick up coverage at George Pickens. He's 0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:56.600 so big and physical. Pickens is just gonna dominate the 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:58.319 rest of the cornerbacks. 0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:00.800 I love that took a couple of year, but Wilson, 0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.239 someone finally realized you just have to throw it within 0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.280 nine feet. The right of George Pickens, and he's gonna 0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:07.760 grab it with two fingers, which. 0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:09.800 Kenny Pikett couldn't do. He couldn't put it with the 0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:13.480 ninth feet of George Pickens. He runs overwhelmingly on the 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.480 left side of the field. That's the aforementioned matchup against 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.560 Brandon Stevens, who ranks his corn as Pro Football focuses 0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.319 cornerback one hundred and ten. I think there's only one 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:27.520 hundred and thirteen ranked cornerbacks. It's that bad. Love George Pickens. 0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:31.280 Here a gray. The only other element of the receiving 0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:35.040 game is Pat Fryarmouth, who hasn't actually been helped by 0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:37.759 Russell Wilson as much as other Steelers, as usage has 0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.920 actually gone down, averaging just two catches for twenty nine 0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:44.520 yards under Russ. But the Ravens are such a leaky 0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:47.719 tight end defense that I think Friarmuth is still startable here. 0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:50.919 They're giving up sixty eight yards per game. Last week, 0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:54.719 Tanner Hudson and Mike Caseki combined for ten catches and 0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:58.920 seventy two yards against Baltimore. For the past five opponents 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:02.040 of top sixty one one tight end yards, so friar 0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.920 moves in play here c grade on him, and then 0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.640 we've only got the running backs left. Naji Harris, He's 0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:12.520 looked vastly improved under Russell Wilson. Under justin fields, Harris's 0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:16.880 average finish was running back twenty seven under russ it 0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:20.480 vaults up to running back thirteen with touchdowns or one 0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:25.280 hundred yards in every game or both. But the Ravens 0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:28.319 run defense is elite. They've allowed the second fewest rushing yards, 0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.680 just fifty six per game. No opposing runner his top 0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:35.719 fifty two yards against Baltimore, which is we're running in 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.800 we're heading into week eleven and nobody's top fifty two yards. 0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:44.680 That's amazing. Also, Baltimore sees the league's lowest rushing play percentage, 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:48.840 just thirty three percent. Your hope here for Naji Harris, 0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:52.800 your best hope is receiving production. Five straight opponents have 0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:56.520 caught at least forty two yards against Baltimore. Harris could 0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:59.240 help out through the air here, and especially with Jalen 0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:01.560 Warren who's got a issue. We don't know for sure 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:03.040 if he's gonna go, and he might be a game 0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.280 time decision on that back. And if that's the case, 0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:09.359 then I like Najie Harris more than the sea level 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:11.120 I've got him at. I'd move him up to a 0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:14.520 B grade if warrent sits. And either way, because there's 0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:16.600 such a tough run defense, we're not gonna start. 0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.680 And Harris has a back injury. I mean he'll go, 0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:20.200 but man, yeah, banged up. 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.480 I believe, I'm not positive. I think they took him 0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:25.480 off the injury report on Friday. OK, We're still monitoring 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.680 that one. Yeah, all right, Brian. Our final matchup for 0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:31.759 this segment, Atlanta Falcons taking on the Denver Broncos. Are 0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:34.239 you gonna start with Kyle Pitts in this one? Are 0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.320 we gonna just? Is that just your whole plan? Is 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:37.440 that the only reason you're here? 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.720 I kind of wanted to build up to the thoughts, 0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:46.560 but why not a Kyle? We'll get into why. 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.160 I don't like this game for the Falcons wide receivers, 0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.719 but I love it for Pitts, who owns an impressive 0:39:51.840 --> 0:39:54.839 two point eight yards per route run against single high 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:55.680 safety coverage. 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:57.200 That is an elite clip. 0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.879 The Broncos deploy a ton of single high Denver, also 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:03.279 allowing more than five catches per game to tight ends 0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:07.879 Monster games for Brock Bowers, Travis Kelcey against Denver. Yes, 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.240 I put Kyle Pitts in that range, so I love Pits. 0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.440 He gets an a. Darnell Moody and Drake London, I 0:40:13.480 --> 0:40:15.120 don't love them as much. They both get a. 0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:18.839 See bad spot for both, probably especially London, who will 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.080 be shadowed by Patrick Surtan for the majority of the game, 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:25.239 one would think, but maybe Mooney sees one, Sir Tan Mooney, 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.320 pretty good receiver as well. You'd be the best receiver 0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:29.800 on the Bears if you still in Chicago anyway, Just 0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:33.080 to see for both though. The Broncos allowing the twelve 0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.440 fewest PPR points per game to wide outs, and whoever 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:39.440 Sirtan is on, he just erases wide outs, so Kirk Cousins, 0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:42.200 just to see for him. I like Pitts, I don't 0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.600 love the receivers. As I just mentioned, only Lamar Jackson 0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.640 and Patrick Mahomes were able top two hundred and forty 0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:50.760 passing yards against Denver this year. Multiple passing scorers allowed 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:52.719 in just two of ten games for the Broncos. It's 0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:55.120 all gonna be all about Bijon and Pitts on this one. 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.480 I got an a On Bijon. Denver allowing nearly one 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.520 hundred and thirty convoy yards per game to running backs. 0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:03.799 They surrendered nine catches to Kansas City's backfield last week. 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:07.279 Bijon is one of three running backs with at least 0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:08.239 forty catches on the year. 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:10.439 He is a great receiver over to the Denver side. 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:11.160 Not a lot here. 0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:13.560 Audrick Estime liked Tim he was might take a chance 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.120 with me running back. I do like Courtland Sutton. The 0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.960 Falcons are gonna be without two starting cornerbacks and a 0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:20.040 third depth corner. 0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:22.960 Sutton's targets. Since his zero target game. 0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.560 In Week seven nine ten eleven, Sutton has been a 0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:29.719 top twenty four wide receiver in the last four out 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.040 of four of the last five weeks yep. And last 0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:36.000 week Sutton had the highest the highest average separation score 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:39.920 and route win rate among all wide receivers. Wow, and 0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.920 that was against Kansas City's Trent McDuffie nice, who is 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.759 an elite corner So Cortland Sutton is coming on. 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:48.319 He's bon Nicks's favorite target by far. 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:51.840 I need charges expertise on that cornerback situation. They have 0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.799 six corners, three are out. Are those three out there 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:56.640 gonna get tired. They might. 0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:58.960 Actually you could look that's that is a thing that 0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:04.360 happens because because of the thinness at quarterback cornerback Devon 0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:08.840 Vley Dart throw cee. If you're looking, if you're desperate 0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:10.879 for a wide receiver, he appears to be the wide 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:12.560 receiver too for the Broncos. 0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:13.880 But that's kind of been a turnstile. 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:15.400 Really, I don't love him, but if you're going to 0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:18.040 pick when it's VLA, no tight ends for the Broncos, 0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:20.640 but Bo Nicks B grade. 0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:24.719 Sorry thor if you're listening, might he's borderline? 0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:28.400 He's borderline A in this matchup, Nicks has more rushing 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:30.560 touchdowns than Breis Hall and Josh. 0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:32.080 Jacobs this year. 0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:35.480 His rushing ability makes him a borderline take on in 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:38.200 almost any matchup, but again, this matchup a good one. 0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:41.400 He's got the rushing floor, which is very safe for Nicks, 0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:45.280 and Atlanta has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in sixth straight 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.360 and seven of their last eight games. 0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:50.680 So screw it A grade bow Knicks. 0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:52.520 I'll be honest, but I was looking at it. Take 0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:55.600 a chance on me players. I legitimately felt he was 0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:58.000 too good to put in that segment. 0:42:58.120 --> 0:42:59.320 Yeah, I could see it. 0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:02.160 I'll say that too for the you gamblers out there. 0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:04.920 Bo Nix has really narrowed the gap for Rookie of 0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:09.719 the Year. He's second behind Jayden Daniels. Now Caleb Williams afterthought, 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:13.239 Bong gone factor right now and Drake may surging. But 0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.319 I'm making some bets on Nixon may in the event 0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:18.240 that something happens with Daniels, who was already fading. 0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:20.040 The delta, you know, is huge. 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.239 Maybe with the change in offensive coordinator the Bears, you know, 0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:25.160 Caleb Williams will get back in the race. 0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:26.040 Yeah, good one. 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:28.120 That's so very optimistic of you. 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:30.760 We hope it was actually meant as a transition. 0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.239 Oh okay, I got you now, I got you now. 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.760 I think the betting odds last I saw Jadeen Daniels 0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:41.000 minus two thousand to win Rookie of the Year. Bo 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:44.080 Nicks plus eight hundred. That's the delta you were talking about. 0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.040 Yeah, and Daniels was more than one hundred to one 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:48.720 before Thursday night, and that has fallen off a cliff. 0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:50.520 Ye and Nick Nix coming on. 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:54.960 Is coming on when we come back. Three tough questions. 0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:56.800 See if you go three and Ozero with our panel 0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:58.720 of experts as we run through some of the hardest 0:43:58.840 --> 0:44:04.240 questions in fantasy football today, including the Chicago offense. Scott Fish, 0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:32.880 does it get better? Play along when we come. Welcome 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:36.279 back Fantasy Football Weekly Hour number two. I am Paul 0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:41.759 Charchian with me today, Scott Fish, Brian Johnson. Guys, it's 0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:45.719 time to play three tough questions. Let's quest Jabe number one. 0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:50.400 Can you sabotage drop? C? D. Lamb? And I suppose 0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:52.759 because we haven't talked to sabotage drop yet this year, 0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:55.760 I should explain what the sabotage drop is, or like Scott, 0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:57.040 you can if you want to do you want to 0:44:57.040 --> 0:44:57.480 throw your hat? 0:44:57.560 --> 0:44:59.400 No, no, you can do it. I can do it. 0:44:59.440 --> 0:44:59.839 I don't care. 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.719 The sabotage drop is the single most hardcore move in 0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:03.800 fantasy football. 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.439 That is not where I would have got but that's good. 0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:07.399 It's a great move. 0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:11.320 It is You have to have yards of steel to 0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:13.719 perform the sabotage drop. 0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:16.680 And that surgery is expensive, very expensive. 0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.480 Here's the core premise. You are going to outright drop 0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:24.360 a big name player who you feel will be a 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:30.359 net negative on whoever picks that player up. Now as 0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.719 an example, Jordan Addison is not a sabotage drop. Javonte 0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:39.319 Williams is not a sabotage drop. Big name players Dobbins, Yes, 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:41.440 he would be a sabotage drop. He's not not the 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:43.520 guy we're gonna We're talking about Cedee Lamb right now. 0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:45.960 But yes, I mean, if that's that would be Super Bowl. 0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:51.440 Somebody else is going to use precious fab or their 0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:53.560 their number one waiver priority, or. 0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.080 Just start them when they shouldn't and also. 0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:58.080 Start them when they shouldn't. If you believe that this 0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.120 players truly going to be a net negative, then you 0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.320 sabotage drop that person. And even if every game is 0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:08.000 not negative, some of them are going to be harmful games. 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:11.000 So that brings us to ceed Lamb. Yeah, and I'll 0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:14.719 restate the question, Scott Fish, can you sabotage drop Seede Lamb? 0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:18.399 No, No, you can't. His trade value is just far 0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:21.960 too high, and a trade to actually get something makes 0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:24.839 far more sense than just dropping him out right, even 0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.960 if it's even if it's getting low Bald or selling low. 0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:30.680 Their pass schedule is one of the easiest, and Rush 0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:33.640 Lance Rush Cooper Rush or Trey Lance may just lean 0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:37.040 on Lamb and hyper target him. Weeks fourteen through sixteen, 0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:42.799 they play literally the three worst pass defenses currently. I'm 0:46:42.840 --> 0:46:45.279 not straight up dropping him because the hope that he 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:49.960 hurts another team for a couple random weeks. It's not 0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:53.160 worth what you can possibly get in return, or if 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.239 you make the playoffs, what you might get from a 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:59.279 hyper targeted even in a bad offense Ceede Lamb. 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:02.799 I'm going with no, Okay, Brian, can I sabotage drop 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:03.439 Ceedee Lamb? 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:04.279 Yeah? 0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:07.440 You you're probably gonna have some points, You're gonna make 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:08.520 some good points why you should. 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:10.200 But I'm gonna agree with Scott and say you can. 0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:14.360 It's a luxury to sabotage drop someone, especially of Cede 0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:18.040 Lamb's caliber, and he was able to produce last year 0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:20.960 with Cooper Rush, and last week he should have caught 0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:23.080 a touchdown if not for the Sun in this poorly 0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:25.880 engineered stadium in Dallas. 0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:28.600 So yeah, no, you can't drop Ceedee Lamb. But it's 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:30.920 it's a valid question. I will give you that. But 0:47:31.040 --> 0:47:32.040 here's why we're wrong. 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:32.880 Let me ask you to this. 0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:33.560 Okay, here we go. 0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:40.200 Remember the Miami offense without Tua Tyreek Hill during that stretch. Yeah, 0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:44.919 was terrible, and he materially hurt his He materially hurt 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:49.480 all of his fantasy managers because you started him every 0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:51.319 week because you had to, because his name was Tyreek Hill, 0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:57.160 and you suffered with him. Ask this, and I honestly 0:47:57.239 --> 0:48:00.359 don't for sure know the answer to this, but could 0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:04.040 you get through your playoff run with three straight good 0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:07.839 games from Cede Lamb in a Cooper Rush or Trey 0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:11.640 Lance led offense? And if the answer is no, you 0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:14.359 don't think you can get three straight playoff wins, then 0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:17.920 do you want him on your team? I like what 0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:20.359 you said, Scott about trading. I would try to trade 0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:22.479 Ze trap so low, I try to say, I would 0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:24.720 try to see I try to get something of value 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:28.399 for Ceede Lamb. If you can't, then I still then 0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:30.759 I endorse the sabotage drop. So I will say no 0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:34.280 for now on this, although I have no faith whatsoever 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:38.960 in the Dallas offense. But if you can't get something 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:42.640 reasonably valuable for him, the most valuable, the most value 0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:45.080 you may have is reckon somebody else's team. 0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:47.920 Ceedee Lamb with Cooper Rush two years ago without Prescott 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.279 seven for seventy five, eight for eighty seven, and one 0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:52.759 six for ninety seven and one five for fifty three, 0:48:52.920 --> 0:48:53.799 five for sixty eight. 0:48:53.960 --> 0:48:55.800 As we discussed you were you were not here on 0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:58.759 the show last week. We acknowledged that. But okay, that 0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:00.800 is when Zeke and Paul were running. 0:49:01.080 --> 0:49:02.920 This is a very good point. Then it was a 0:49:03.040 --> 0:49:05.120 very good offense. It was a very good They won 0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:06.480 all but one of those games. 0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:09.400 That's right. So that's right, very true. This offense with 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:12.040 no running game is just dead in the water. 0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.239 But we're looking at a lot of garbage time this 0:49:15.400 --> 0:49:17.960 year for Ceedee Lamb, which he wasn't getting last year 0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.200 on a good team, good offense, so that could bode 0:49:20.200 --> 0:49:21.000 well for pay. 0:49:23.120 --> 0:49:25.799 Really is a tough question. Number two. 0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.160 With the change of offensive coordinator, does the Bears offense 0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:33.640 get better, worse or stay the same. I'm sure it 0:49:33.760 --> 0:49:35.359 can get worse, Brian, what do you think? 0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:37.319 Wait? Did we get an answer on see Lamb? 0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:40.960 I said no, no, ok but we're close close shop 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:45.640 at first. If this question were after trade deadlines, I 0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:50.000 would be it'd be a different answer. Okay, Brian, Chicago 0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:51.399 offense better worse? Are the same? 0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:52.040 Yeah? 0:49:52.080 --> 0:49:54.239 You want to say it can't get any worse. But 0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:57.319 you know what gets worse is their schedule. I mean, 0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:01.760 this offense wasn't getting it done against New England, Arizona, Jacksonville. 0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:07.399 Now we're looking at Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit, San Francisco, Minnesota, Detroit. Again, 0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:12.960 that is a murderers row basically for all Bears offensive players. 0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:15.600 So no, it's you know, it's gonna get worse. It's 0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:18.800 getting worse. This team is lost until they fire the 0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:21.280 head coach. It's it's it's done done in Chicago. 0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:24.560 I think you might have started to convince me Scott. 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:27.840 With a change of offensive coordinator, does the Bears offense 0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:29.480 get better, worse or stay the same. 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:31.840 Yeah, I was gonna go with it can't get worse 0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:34.960 because it's bottom three in about a dozen categories. It's 0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:38.320 bottom ten and about a dozen more, you know, and 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:42.200 those are big ones like yards allowed, yards per play allowed, sex, 0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:45.680 points scored. But like it's not like random, you know, 0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:52.080 high level stats. It's like the big ones. Bruh. So yeah, 0:50:52.200 --> 0:50:56.279 this it's it's interesting. Their new offensive quarter took over 0:50:56.360 --> 0:50:59.719 play calling for Frank Reich in Carolina last year for 0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:02.960 last ten or so games, immediately beat CJ. Young with 0:51:03.160 --> 0:51:06.239 Bryce Young or CJ. Stroud with Bryce Young. But then 0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:08.680 Bryce Young didn't top two hundred yards for the rest 0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:12.560 of the year after that, five scores in eleven games. 0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:16.399 I think Brian might be right. I had stays the same. 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:18.799 It's just gonna continue to be bad. But Brian might 0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:20.560 be right. I'm gonna go stays the same. I'm gonna 0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:21.960 stay there, but it's gonna stay bad. 0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:25.239 Let me give you the Bears points by quarter since 0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:27.319 week seven right into week eleven. So this is going 0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:32.040 back at waste there buy in week seven. Zero is 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:35.640 points per quarter. So I'm gonna give you twelve numbers 0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:45.279 zero zero seven eight zero nine zero zero zero. We're 0:51:45.280 --> 0:51:48.600 in the matrix three yeah, zero zero. Who knew we'd 0:51:48.600 --> 0:51:49.839 go binary on this show? 0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:51.320 Listen to that. 0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:54.400 That is insanely feeble. 0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:55.800 So the Bears. 0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:59.319 You alluded to this a little bit, Scott. Last year, 0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:04.040 the Bears fans and the organization cackling with delight at 0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:07.399 the failures of Bryce Young as they saw the number 0:52:07.480 --> 0:52:09.520 one pick in the draft heading there. 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:11.560 The late let's get this guy. They're like, let's go 0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:12.200 get that guy. 0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:15.719 Let's get the offensive coordinator that led Bryce Young to 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:19.080 be one of the biggest first overall flops in memory. 0:52:19.440 --> 0:52:21.880 They're like, oh, we need that guy, so they put 0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:25.480 him on staff. And then when Matt Eberflus has got 0:52:25.560 --> 0:52:30.080 an opening at offensive coordinator, he's like, Okay, we've got 0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:34.359 the least accurate passer in the league. Our passing games 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:37.520 completely dead in the water. We're thirty first in passing yards. 0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:42.200 I know just the guy to make our interim offensive coordinator. 0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:44.280 It's our passing game coordinator. 0:52:44.719 --> 0:52:48.760 Yeah. I can't let me reiterate. They had two hundred 0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:51.520 plus yards passing twice in those eleven games with him. 0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:55.919 I don't. I can't come up of the scenario where 0:52:56.080 --> 0:52:58.919 it gets any better. It feels like it can't get worse, 0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:01.640 although Brian's online to schedule it suggests it could get worse. 0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:02.880 But I on, how you get worse than that? 0:53:03.280 --> 0:53:03.320 What? 0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:05.480 I just that series of numbers I just read. 0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:08.400 On Does it get better if Tyson Bagent takes over 0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:09.320 as starting quarterback? 0:53:09.360 --> 0:53:11.719 Who, by the way, his dad is the one who's 0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:13.200 starting those leagues and all these things. 0:53:13.280 --> 0:53:16.560 It's not true, but it's not a bad idea. Probably 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:19.879 if it's your dad going to be leaking stories about 0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:21.799 how you're going to replace me as host on the show, 0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:26.920 because that's probably actually going forward well. Denver running back 0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:30.640 Audric Estimate most commonly finish as a running back one 0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:33.759 running back to flex or bench. Scott. 0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:38.200 Yeah. So, as many noted in their Waiver wire articles 0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:41.440 and stuff this week, it is not a good schedule 0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:45.880 for the rest of the season for top twelve run defenses. 0:53:45.920 --> 0:53:47.839 A couple in the top seven or eight, one middle 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:50.320 of the pack, couple decent matchups, but they also have 0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:53.879 a bye. It's just a tough schedule. It's not even 0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:56.279 out of the question. The other to stay or get 0:53:56.360 --> 0:53:58.800 more involved in some games. The other two backs in 0:53:58.840 --> 0:54:03.480 that backfield, McLaughlin and Javonte Williams. But no targets, minimal 0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:05.919 pass game work, and by minimal, I mean he's run 0:54:06.160 --> 0:54:09.800 five routes all year. Rodric Customy has He's not involved 0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:11.799 in that, and that's how he came out as an 0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:15.920 early down bruiser. That's who he is. I'm I'm gonna 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:18.200 go flex because maybe they lean on him, maybe he 0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:21.000 gets the volume, but that's about as high as I 0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:23.160 can you know, confidently. 0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:27.239 Go okay, flex for Scott Brian rest of the season, well, 0:54:27.239 --> 0:54:29.719 a estime most commonly finished is a running back. One 0:54:29.840 --> 0:54:31.479 running back to flex or bench. 0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:34.279 Yeah, not a lot to add on to what Scott said. 0:54:34.520 --> 0:54:38.960 It's really it's a volume bass play for SMA week 0:54:39.000 --> 0:54:41.239 in week out. I think he'll hold onto the job 0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:44.719 because Javonte Williams and McLoughlin they're just not getting it done. 0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:47.200 That they've fallen out of favor with Sean Payton and 0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:49.120 there's another running back in the mix. 0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:51.600 But he is nothing. It's all estimate, but the schedule 0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:55.680 not great. He's flex. 0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:57.799 Yeah, I don't have much to add Sorry, flex, I'm 0:54:57.840 --> 0:54:59.479 with Scott took all my talking points. 0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:01.400 Okay, up, I'm. 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:04.279 Gonna mention this about Estima's game last week. It was 0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:06.680 just three point eight yards per carry, but it was 0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:10.960 against the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah, great, Rundy. In fact, we're 0:55:10.960 --> 0:55:14.280 gonna start talking about this more. This Chiefs run defense 0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:19.360 is starting to look his historically good. And it turns 0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:23.880 out the fifty three yards Audric Guestimy had against the Chiefs, 0:55:24.320 --> 0:55:27.440 it's the second most rushing yards of any opposing running 0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:32.880 back all year, including Derek Henry, Bjon Robinson, Alvin Kamara, 0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:38.040 Jordan Mason on a bunch of carries. Estimate faces Atlanta 0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:40.880 this week. That's a kind of a neutral matchup. I 0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:43.200 think he does okay here, and I think there's a 0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:47.160 scenario where this Denver team's starting to look a lot better. 0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:51.200 Bonix is bringing balance to the offense. Estimate might just 0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:55.120 turn into the workhorse back they wanted Javonte Williams to be. 0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:58.279 I'm actually feeling a little more optimistic than you guys 0:55:58.320 --> 0:56:02.640 are running back who are okay, Estimate, it's all speculative 0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:07.160 running back to Odder Estimate. Scott. Let's go to the 0:56:07.200 --> 0:56:10.200 Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Los Angeles Chargers to it. 0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:15.879 His Chargers defense so very improved from last year's defense. Still, 0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:18.960 Bengals are going well right now. T Higgins is coming back. 0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:20.560 Where do you want to start with the Bengals? 0:56:21.040 --> 0:56:23.040 Yeah? Yeah, we can start in the passing game with 0:56:23.400 --> 0:56:26.680 Joe Burrow. The charges of the fifth best against fantasy quarterbacks, 0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:29.719 which is truly incredible. Give it the gauntlet of all 0:56:29.760 --> 0:56:33.439 pro quarterbacks they faced. I feel Gardner Minshew, Bryce Young 0:56:33.640 --> 0:56:38.160 Justin Fields twenty twenty four, Patrick Mahomes, Bryce Young, Justin Fields. 0:56:38.960 --> 0:56:42.640 I mentioned him early season. Bonix Kyler Murray, Spencer Rattler, 0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.640 Jamis Winston, and Will Levis would have completely lit them 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.120 up like that is a That is a gauntlet of 0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:53.120 amazing professional quarterbacks that have led to that awesome ranking 0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:57.840 for the Chargers defense. All right, second lowest rate of 0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:01.040 pressure but with the fewest if you be knockdowns and 0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:03.840 fewest hurries. So I think Joe Burrow is gonna actually 0:57:03.840 --> 0:57:06.680 have some time to sit back and pick away at 0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:10.440 this defense. Joe Burrow leading the league in the temps 0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:13.440 yards passing scores, averaging two hundred and seventy plus yards. 0:57:13.480 --> 0:57:16.600 He's got nine scores nine times in the last two weeks. 0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.040 I have an A grade on Joe Burrow. I believe 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.280 Jamar Chase is an obvious A at this point with 0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:24.040 the way he's playing. I don't think I need to elaborate, 0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:26.360 So I'm gonna move on to T Higgins, who is 0:57:26.480 --> 0:57:29.160 expected to come back and play this week, who have 0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:33.160 a C grade on C grade partly in due to 0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:36.040 partly due to possible limitations in his first game back, 0:57:36.400 --> 0:57:38.400 but in the three games with T. Higgins or the 0:57:38.520 --> 0:57:41.040 three games with T Higgins out, Yo C Vash and 0:57:41.080 --> 0:57:43.760 all the arrest basically did nothing. So even if he 0:57:43.920 --> 0:57:47.200 does miss, they're all on the bench. With T. Higgins 0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:49.640 his four games before missing time, he had double digit 0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:53.200 fantasy points in four straight, over six catches and over 0:57:53.280 --> 0:57:56.400 seventy five yards in them, scoring three times in those 0:57:56.440 --> 0:57:58.720 four games, I could go a be. My only worry 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:00.760 is he doesn't play a full cup element of snaps. 0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:03.320 Have you seen the thing with the practice hill and 0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:07.920 T Higgins? Apparently there's a practice hill against ten feet 0:58:08.120 --> 0:58:10.720 I know, but whenever he's coming back from injury, if 0:58:10.760 --> 0:58:12.880 he runs up the practice hill, he's coming back. 0:58:12.960 --> 0:58:14.720 That's how you gauge his return. 0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:18.040 I'm gonna I have a C grade on Gsecki here. 0:58:18.120 --> 0:58:21.200 The Chargers have allowed nos coaster tight ends, but Kelsey, McBride, 0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:25.560 Bowers all did very well. I might actually I have all. 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:27.560 I'm gonna put Gasecki in the bench. I'm gonna put 0:58:27.560 --> 0:58:30.120 it on the bench and C grade if T. Higgins 0:58:30.480 --> 0:58:33.600 somehow doesn't go. Because in the three games without Higgins, 0:58:34.120 --> 0:58:37.880 twenty three targets very fiable fantasy days and all of them, 0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:40.920 he's really on that border of a C grade right there. 0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:45.160 Chase Brown B grade has every single running back touch, 0:58:45.240 --> 0:58:48.280 said Zach Moss has been out real all, like fifty 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:51.439 four or fifty six of them every single touch they allow. 0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:53.960 The Chargers allowed the six fewest yards and just two 0:58:54.040 --> 0:58:56.960 total touchdowns to running backs this year, so it's a 0:58:57.040 --> 0:58:59.919 little tougher spot. They've allowed the third fewest fantasy point 0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:03.320 to the position, so Chase Brown's going to need that 0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:07.440 twenty plus touch volume he's recently seen. Only the only 0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:11.920 back to top seventy rushing yards against the Chargers was 0:59:12.040 --> 0:59:15.400 James Connor and it took nineteen carries. Kamara also did well, 0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:17.840 but he needed that six for fifty five through the air. 0:59:18.200 --> 0:59:20.080 Chase Browns might help that way. 0:59:20.160 --> 0:59:22.240 That's where I'm going. Chase Brown the last two games 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:25.920 with no Zach Moss, nobody else in the backfield, fifteen catches, 0:59:26.040 --> 0:59:28.200 he gets all their work, So I'm gonna give him 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:30.920 the B grade here Over on the Chargers side, Justin 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:32.960 Herbert was might take a chance on me quarterbacks, so 0:59:33.240 --> 0:59:36.040 I obviously like the passing game a little bit, but 0:59:36.240 --> 0:59:39.440 just C grades on Ladd McConkie and Quenton Johnson. In 0:59:39.480 --> 0:59:42.160 the last three games, six wide receivers have eighty plus 0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:45.480 and or a score against the Cincinnati Bengals, partly due 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:48.120 to the shootout nature of those games, which we could 0:59:48.240 --> 0:59:51.840 see here. Ladd McConkie is the target leader. He's the safer, 0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:54.880 more consistent option, six plus targets in all but two 0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:57.840 games this year, but he is going against one of 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:01.280 the league's top slot corners in Mike Hilton, who's a 1:00:01.320 --> 1:00:04.360 big reason why the Bengals rank fifth best against the slot. 1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:07.000 So it's a little tough draw for him there. Yeah, 1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:10.080 but the Bengals are, however, bottom ten in receptions in 1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:12.439 yards alowed to wide receiver and they allow the fourth 1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:14.640 most to the perimeter. As bad as they are as 1:00:14.720 --> 1:00:16.720 good as they are in the slot, they're bad on 1:00:16.800 --> 1:00:19.400 the outside. So I have a C grade on Quentin Johnson. 1:00:19.720 --> 1:00:23.240 Andy gets this great matchup against the struggling cam Taylor 1:00:23.280 --> 1:00:26.400 Britt allowing a one oh seven rating in his coverage 1:00:26.640 --> 1:00:29.200 and he's allowed five scores this year, so we might 1:00:29.240 --> 1:00:30.360 see a score there from q. 1:00:30.800 --> 1:00:34.400 Here are the wide receivers with more touchdowns in Quentin Johnston, 1:00:34.720 --> 1:00:38.120 Jamar Chase Sun God, Mike Evans, McLaurin, Drake London, Marvin 1:00:38.160 --> 1:00:38.800 Harrison Junior. 1:00:38.920 --> 1:00:39.600 That's it, Jase. 1:00:40.960 --> 1:00:44.200 I do have Josh Palmer on the bench, averaging thirty 1:00:44.240 --> 1:00:47.280 four point two yards thirty four point two yards per 1:00:47.400 --> 1:00:52.160 catch over the last three. Will Disley's getting a C grade. 1:00:52.560 --> 1:00:55.520 Bengals are bottom six and receptions yards and scores to 1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:59.400 tight ends, rounding them out as the third best matchup 1:00:59.400 --> 1:01:01.000 to the position. And so I got a C grade 1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:03.840 on him because he's averaging five plus catches in three 1:01:03.960 --> 1:01:08.960 last four. Over to the run game. JK. Dobbins sixteen 1:01:09.000 --> 1:01:12.680 plus touches in every game and the one he got rest. 1:01:13.320 --> 1:01:13.600 Sorry. 1:01:13.760 --> 1:01:16.000 Nine different backs have scored against the Bengals in the 1:01:16.080 --> 1:01:18.720 ten games. Among non scores, there was a ninety plus 1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:21.320 yard game, one hundred and eight yard plus game. His 1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:25.040 fifteen plus touches should be worthy of the C grade. 1:01:25.080 --> 1:01:28.960 And Gus Edwards ten touches in his return, but four 1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.200 of those were on one drive late in the second quarter, 1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:34.600 kind of giving rest to Gus Edwards. Another two were 1:01:34.640 --> 1:01:37.560 in a drive where Hassan Haskins scored and Dobbins was 1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:40.640 getting rested. It seems like he only played fifteen snaps 1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:43.040 and got those ten touches. It seems like he's just 1:01:43.160 --> 1:01:44.200 there to rest Dobbins. 1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:47.200 So bench grade, I'm playing I'm not playing two Edwards. 1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:51.600 I need more proof he's back. Yeah, when we come back, Vikings, 1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:54.080 Titans will tell you what to do with that matchup 1:01:54.120 --> 1:02:04.840 when we return. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, a block 1:02:05.000 --> 1:02:08.480 oh matchups for you, beginning with Vikings taking on the 1:02:08.600 --> 1:02:13.080 Tennessee Titans. For Justin Jefferson, it is a tricky matchup, 1:02:13.120 --> 1:02:16.000 but he's an eight grade because he's justin freaking Jefferson. 1:02:17.120 --> 1:02:19.919 And even with the three interceptions thrown his way last week, 1:02:19.960 --> 1:02:22.040 he walked away with a decent box score. When he 1:02:22.120 --> 1:02:24.600 faced Sauce Gardner and DJ Reed, he walked away with 1:02:24.640 --> 1:02:28.840 the decent box score. So we're still automatic a Justin Jefferson. 1:02:28.960 --> 1:02:31.040 It was only two interceptions that one hit the ground. 1:02:31.560 --> 1:02:34.720 All right, Well tell that to Sam Darnald. I will, 1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:35.120 all right. 1:02:35.480 --> 1:02:36.200 I wish I could. 1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:39.080 Jordan Addison comes out of the C grade. Sam Darnald 1:02:39.160 --> 1:02:42.000 missed some opportunities to find Addison last week, opting to 1:02:42.040 --> 1:02:44.600 throw in, opting to throw to like triple cover Justin 1:02:44.640 --> 1:02:48.200 Jefferson instead, which actually I'm fine with that. He can 1:02:48.280 --> 1:02:50.440 try to reverse course on Sunday. Here, the Titans have 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:54.720 allowed the fewest yards to wide receivers and only one 1:02:54.840 --> 1:02:57.440 hundred and ten per game. Only one wide out has 1:02:57.600 --> 1:03:03.200 topped sixty seven yards and they've given up just zero 1:03:03.200 --> 1:03:05.680 point six to six wide receiver scores per game, so 1:03:05.840 --> 1:03:08.240 two thirds of a wide receiver touchdown per game. That 1:03:08.640 --> 1:03:11.640 is all Jordan Addison C grade in this one. Staying 1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:13.120 on the receiving part of the game. 1:03:13.240 --> 1:03:13.479 TJ. 1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:16.920 Hockinson b great back to full usage ran routes on 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:20.080 seventy one percent of the Vikings pass plays last week, 1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:23.880 a gaudy thirty percent target rate. And while the Titans 1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:28.600 look like a dominating tight end defense, they haven't played 1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.080 very many good tight ends. And the two best guys 1:03:31.120 --> 1:03:34.760 that are close to Howkinson's level, Sam Laporta Dalton Kincaid 1:03:35.280 --> 1:03:38.160 put up a respectable forty eight yards and fifty two yards. 1:03:38.240 --> 1:03:40.880 They one of them scored a touchdown. So Howkinson's in 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:43.560 with a B grade here for Aaron Jones Titans. No, 1:03:43.600 --> 1:03:45.720 actually I should finish with Sam Donald since we're talking 1:03:45.760 --> 1:03:48.240 passing game, just to keep the theme going coming off 1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:51.240 his worst game is a Viking last week. Sorry, Brian, 1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:54.880 this is not a great spot to expect a bounce back. 1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:57.800 Titans have been a great pass defense all season long, 1:03:58.200 --> 1:04:03.040 only Josh Allen hasped two hundred and six passing yards. 1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:05.680 Two hundred and six is nothing, Well, only one guy 1:04:05.760 --> 1:04:08.280 stopped it. Titans ranked number one in passing yards allowed 1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:10.360 just one hundred and seventy one per game. It's a 1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:12.840 tough spot for Sam Darnold. Just the se grade here. 1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:16.840 And lastly, Aaron Jones. Titans are also a good run defense, 1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:19.360 just not as dominating, quite as dominating his air. As 1:04:19.360 --> 1:04:22.680 a pass defense. The last two opponents, including the run 1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:26.320 heavy Chargers, averaged just three point one yards per carry 1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:30.400 against Tennessee on the full season. Only one back his 1:04:30.520 --> 1:04:33.560 top sixty two yards against the Titans. And I'd like 1:04:33.640 --> 1:04:35.000 to tell you that Jones can make up for a 1:04:35.000 --> 1:04:37.520 difficult ground matchup with some success through the air. But 1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:39.320 the Titans are great there too. They gave up the 1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:43.320 third fewest receiving yards to runners. So yeah, I can 1:04:43.400 --> 1:04:45.600 only get you to a C grade on Aaron Jones 1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:48.600 in this game. Titan's side of this is a shorter 1:04:48.760 --> 1:04:50.960 story to tell. Exart't many guys you'd even think about 1:04:51.000 --> 1:04:54.800 starting here, but let's go to Tony Poulla. First looks 1:04:54.880 --> 1:04:57.560 Pollard so much better as a Titan than he was 1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:01.760 as a Cowboy last year. He's run with previously unseen power. 1:05:01.920 --> 1:05:06.880 Get this, Tony Pollard three point eight yards after contact. Wow, 1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:10.400 that is third best in the league. You're in Derek 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:15.160 Henry territory at three point eight yards after contact. Minnesota 1:05:15.200 --> 1:05:19.200 though a daunting run defense, particularly when linebacker Blake Cashman 1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:21.919 plays and he is back from injury. In the six 1:05:22.000 --> 1:05:24.800 games Cashman is played, the Vikings are giving up three 1:05:24.880 --> 1:05:27.480 point seven yards per carry and they've only given up 1:05:27.520 --> 1:05:30.960 one rushing touchdown against in those six games. So I've 1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:33.440 only got the C grade on Tony Pollard. Tad J. 1:05:33.600 --> 1:05:35.760 Spears finally healthy. He looked really good last week, but 1:05:35.840 --> 1:05:38.480 he just doesn't get enough carries to hit a C 1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:41.360 grade here, especially against a good Vikings defense. He is 1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:45.400 on our bench. Let's go to Calvin Ridley along with 1:05:45.520 --> 1:05:48.640 Marvin Harrison. I think Calvin Ridley is the most boom 1:05:48.760 --> 1:05:52.040 or bust receiver in the league. He's finished as a 1:05:52.120 --> 1:05:55.600 top six or better receiver three different weeks this year, 1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:59.040 and then he's also finished as wide receiver thirty nine 1:05:59.160 --> 1:06:02.320 or worse five different times. On the show A couple 1:06:02.360 --> 1:06:04.960 of weeks ago, Thorn noted that Brian Callahan is throwing 1:06:05.240 --> 1:06:09.720 fewer moonshots to Ridley and he's become more productive as 1:06:09.800 --> 1:06:12.520 his A dot has come back down to like NFL 1:06:12.680 --> 1:06:15.880 average wide receiver a dot and that's been good for 1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:19.000 him and that could account for his recent uptake in productivity. 1:06:19.280 --> 1:06:21.439 The Vikings allow the third most yards to wide outs, 1:06:21.520 --> 1:06:25.120 third most Fantasy points to wide outs, although they completely 1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:28.440 contained the meager passings stylings of the Colts and Jags 1:06:28.440 --> 1:06:30.360 the last two weeks. And it's not much better here. 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:32.960 I can get you to a C grade on Calvin Ridley. 1:06:33.440 --> 1:06:37.960 Will Levis I considered him as a bye week dart throw. 1:06:38.080 --> 1:06:40.680 I mean, you guys, tell me he's got this yielding 1:06:40.760 --> 1:06:43.880 Viking secondary that goes into his shell when Minnesota gets ahead, 1:06:43.880 --> 1:06:46.200 which is possible in this game. They're favored by six points. 1:06:46.720 --> 1:06:48.400 Levi is coming off his best game of the year 1:06:48.600 --> 1:06:50.520 last year, and maybe his best game is a pro 1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:56.520 last week against a better secondary Los Angeles. To his credit, 1:06:56.600 --> 1:06:59.800 will Levis has stopped producing those eye rolling turnovers that 1:06:59.840 --> 1:07:01.960 he was known for throughout most of the rest of 1:07:02.040 --> 1:07:04.840 his career, just two picks in the last three games. 1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:08.920 Minnesota's allowed the fifth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. They 1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:11.160 did shut down Mac Jones and Joe Flacco the past 1:07:11.200 --> 1:07:13.959 two weeks. If you're in a pinch Will Levis, nobody 1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:15.840 took him as they're taking chance on me quarterbacks. So 1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:17.280 I'm assuming I've got no takers here. 1:07:17.480 --> 1:07:17.520 No. 1:07:17.760 --> 1:07:21.200 I love him in daily daily fantasy for sure. And 1:07:21.280 --> 1:07:23.480 he's got uh yeah, he's got the high ceiling. And 1:07:23.680 --> 1:07:28.120 if he crashes, that's what that's what Daily Fantasy Sports crash. 1:07:29.560 --> 1:07:34.080 Donald Donald, I'll go see grat on Will. 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:36.720 I found something interesting. I saw something interesting about Donald 1:07:36.800 --> 1:07:39.280 last week is that he's one. He's top ten in 1:07:39.360 --> 1:07:43.080 a lot of categories when under pressure. When blitzed. Last week, 1:07:43.160 --> 1:07:46.120 they only blitzed him once and he threw three picks. Wow, 1:07:46.520 --> 1:07:49.040 dropped back to let him throw and give him time, 1:07:49.400 --> 1:07:50.760 and he threw three picks. 1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:51.560 That's wild. 1:07:52.200 --> 1:07:53.120 I saw two. 1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:57.760 I saw two point five picks. I saw this stat. 1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:02.200 Vikings blitzed the seton and most among all starting quarterbacks 1:08:02.280 --> 1:08:05.880 this year, Will Levis is the second worst quarterback in 1:08:06.000 --> 1:08:06.720 blitz situation. 1:08:06.800 --> 1:08:09.480 Okay, nice, Now, it's there's a. 1:08:09.480 --> 1:08:11.280 Lot of things working against Will Levis in this game, 1:08:11.320 --> 1:08:14.280 but there is some upside as well, Brian, let's go 1:08:14.320 --> 1:08:17.799 to Seattle taking on San Francisco. Do I understand this correctly? 1:08:18.280 --> 1:08:22.679 The Seattle Seahawks starting center just quit the game. 1:08:24.320 --> 1:08:27.200 To retire twenty seven years old. Started every game. 1:08:27.640 --> 1:08:30.160 Bet Seattle better than at halftime during the game. 1:08:30.560 --> 1:08:33.040 There is that I've seen that happen power He gone, 1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:36.439 so yeah, so downgrade for I was gonna start with 1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:39.600 Kenneth Walker. Well, first, I want to mention Seattle San Francisco. 1:08:39.720 --> 1:08:40.920 This is the second meeting they played. 1:08:40.920 --> 1:08:41.400 In Week six. 1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:44.360 Seattle won thirty six to twenty four, high scoring game. 1:08:44.520 --> 1:08:47.560 Looking at that again this week. But man, starting with 1:08:47.720 --> 1:08:51.040 Kenneth Walker, I had a p grade. I guess I'll 1:08:51.160 --> 1:08:51.400 keep it. 1:08:51.640 --> 1:08:53.840 I don't know what happens when your center retires on 1:08:53.960 --> 1:08:57.800 a Friday, but I'll stay with the B for Walker, 1:08:57.880 --> 1:08:58.160 I guess. 1:08:58.439 --> 1:09:00.880 Walker only total thirty two rush seen yards on fourteen 1:09:00.920 --> 1:09:02.960 attempts in the first meeting, but he did manage to 1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:06.280 score on the ground, and he caught eight passes against 1:09:06.280 --> 1:09:08.880 the forty nine ers, who have allowed multiple running back 1:09:08.960 --> 1:09:12.559 touchdowns in two of their last three games. Dallas backs 1:09:12.640 --> 1:09:15.240 dropped the doughnut during that span. On a surprise so 1:09:16.280 --> 1:09:18.599 b for Walker, even though they need a new center 1:09:18.880 --> 1:09:21.439 starting center in Seattle. Over to the pass game, DK 1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:23.439 Metcalf says he is good to go. He will make 1:09:23.479 --> 1:09:27.080 his return. Just to see for DK though saw eleven 1:09:27.120 --> 1:09:29.080 targets in the first meeting this season, but only caught 1:09:29.120 --> 1:09:32.080 three for forty eight scoreless yards, and since then, the 1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:35.080 forty nine ers have allowed just two wide receiver touchdowns 1:09:35.400 --> 1:09:37.479 and both of those went to Cede Lamb in Week eight, 1:09:37.880 --> 1:09:41.479 who was targeted seventeen times in that game. So not 1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:46.280 good prospects for DK Metcalf and or Jackson Smith and Jigba. 1:09:46.880 --> 1:09:47.680 Just to see for him. 1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:52.080 JSN had a monster game in Week nine with Metcalf 1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:53.280 out of the lineup. 1:09:53.640 --> 1:09:58.240 That said, tough matchup, but on paper not as bad 1:09:58.280 --> 1:09:59.519 as you would think. It seems. 1:10:00.479 --> 1:10:03.040 JSN runs the majority of his routes from the slot 1:10:03.360 --> 1:10:05.680 now that Metcalf is back, and the forty nine Ers 1:10:05.680 --> 1:10:08.519 are allowing the most yards per pass attempt to slot 1:10:08.600 --> 1:10:12.519 wide receivers nine plus yards healthy number. So JSN is 1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:15.320 startable even with Metcalf back. But Tyler Lockett is not. 1:10:15.800 --> 1:10:18.240 He's on the bench. Although he scored in the first meeting. 1:10:18.520 --> 1:10:21.080 He's the third fiddle now with Metcalf back in the lineup, 1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:24.559 Noah aj Barner, we're binging both tight ends for Seattle, 1:10:24.920 --> 1:10:27.519 but Gino Smith, I will give a ce Gino Smith, 1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:30.439 by the way, the NFL's leader in passing yards per game, 1:10:30.880 --> 1:10:33.240 the only quarterback over two hundred and eighty yards per game. 1:10:33.320 --> 1:10:36.200 Only one quarterback one other quarterback is over two hundred 1:10:36.200 --> 1:10:40.559 and seventy. Gino had three hundred and twelve yards, one touchdown, 1:10:40.640 --> 1:10:43.400 two interceptions in the first meeting. Kind of feels like 1:10:43.479 --> 1:10:46.760 he could replicate those numbers. The forty nine ers are 1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:49.559 allowing less than two hundred and ten passing yards per game, though, 1:10:49.840 --> 1:10:53.000 and they own an eleven to ten touchdown to interception ratio. 1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:56.559 So a tough matchup, but likely you can start Geno. 1:10:56.600 --> 1:10:58.400 You're certainly starting in super flex, but he could have 1:10:58.439 --> 1:11:01.160 a better option, So a soft seed Gino over to 1:11:01.200 --> 1:11:05.519 the forty nine er side. No c's here, really, a's everywhere. 1:11:05.560 --> 1:11:08.400 Starting with Christian McCaffrey. You've waited forever for him to 1:11:08.439 --> 1:11:11.040 come back. You're definitely starting him against the Seahawks allowing 1:11:11.080 --> 1:11:13.639 more than one hundred and fifty combo yards per game. 1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:16.960 Two running backs over to the passing game. I'm starting 1:11:17.000 --> 1:11:19.840 with George Kittle, Gonna give him an ah, having an 1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:22.439 absolute monster year that no one is giving him enough 1:11:22.479 --> 1:11:22.800 credit for. 1:11:22.880 --> 1:11:25.560 He's top twenty yeah, among wide receivers. 1:11:26.040 --> 1:11:29.840 He's averaging over three Fantasy points per game, above the 1:11:29.960 --> 1:11:31.479 second tight end team block viers. 1:11:31.560 --> 1:11:33.679 He should be in the in the combo for offensive 1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:35.720 player of the year. In my mind, he's in the 1:11:35.800 --> 1:11:38.920 week run blocker as well. He's almost, you know, a 1:11:38.960 --> 1:11:41.880 great offensive lineman. But anyway, five for fifty eight and 1:11:41.960 --> 1:11:44.000 two touchdowns in the first meeting this year, So a 1:11:44.200 --> 1:11:46.920 for Kittle. Going to the wide receivers, I'm not starting 1:11:46.960 --> 1:11:49.400 with Deebo Samuel, I'm starting with Jawan Jennings. 1:11:49.320 --> 1:11:50.519 Baby, he gets an a. 1:11:51.000 --> 1:11:53.600 Your guy just three catches. 1:11:53.280 --> 1:11:55.560 For twenty seven scoreless yards in the first meeting, but 1:11:55.640 --> 1:11:59.120 Brandon Aiyuk was active for that game. In jennings first 1:11:59.200 --> 1:12:01.240 game without you in the lineup, who was out for 1:12:01.280 --> 1:12:04.799 the year, Jennings led all forty nine ers with eleven targets. 1:12:05.200 --> 1:12:08.960 Jennings averages more than two point eight yards per route run. 1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:12.759 That's on par with Justin Jefferson. He's a wide receiver 1:12:12.880 --> 1:12:14.680 one for the remainder of the year. As far as 1:12:14.720 --> 1:12:16.400 I'm concerned, I think we all can agree on that. 1:12:17.479 --> 1:12:20.080 Watch his ankle injury. He does, he has been laboring 1:12:20.120 --> 1:12:22.880 with that through practice. He's gonna play, is expected to play. 1:12:22.920 --> 1:12:24.840 But just keep an eye in Jennings ankle injury. But 1:12:25.000 --> 1:12:26.320 we agree, we love that guy. 1:12:26.680 --> 1:12:28.479 You still gotta love Debo, Go and give him a B. 1:12:28.760 --> 1:12:31.320 Deebo Samuel, of course, one hundred and two yards and 1:12:31.439 --> 1:12:34.400 a touchdown receiving in the first meeting. He also added 1:12:34.479 --> 1:12:37.040 fifteen rushing yards in that game. I mentioned that because 1:12:37.080 --> 1:12:40.320 over his last four games against the Seahawks, Deebo has 1:12:40.400 --> 1:12:42.800 totaled five total touchdowns, two were rushing. 1:12:42.880 --> 1:12:43.800 So a B for Debo. 1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:46.479 Ricky Parisols might take a chance on me wide receiver. 1:12:47.200 --> 1:12:50.800 And do you think I like Brock Party in this game? Hey, yes, 1:12:51.000 --> 1:12:54.320 a grade rock Party, but not two fifty five and 1:12:54.479 --> 1:12:55.559 three in the first meeting. 1:12:56.880 --> 1:12:58.360 Maybe that's us four good numbers. 1:12:58.400 --> 1:12:59.240 Yeah, those are good numbers. 1:12:59.240 --> 1:13:00.800 All right. Let's se if we and zip through Colts 1:13:00.840 --> 1:13:03.800 and Jets. Scott for the Colts side. Anthony Richardson's back 1:13:03.840 --> 1:13:06.920 at the Helm. He was not a fantasy factor in 1:13:07.040 --> 1:13:09.639 his first stint as a starter for the Colts. 1:13:09.840 --> 1:13:12.960 No, I have the entire Indianapolis Colts passing game on 1:13:13.120 --> 1:13:16.280 the bench in this one. The Jets d has allowed 1:13:16.360 --> 1:13:21.720 the sorry Anthony Richardson's season high in passyards this year 1:13:22.120 --> 1:13:25.479 two twelve, with an average well below two hundred. It's 1:13:25.560 --> 1:13:28.040 the forty plus yard rushing average that you're clinging to, 1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:30.640 but it's nothing where it was last year and no 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:34.080 rushing scores. We wondered going into the season if Jonathan 1:13:34.120 --> 1:13:37.719 Taylor would affect that part of his game. And Taylor 1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:41.360 leads the NFL on inside the five touches per game. Wow, 1:13:41.439 --> 1:13:44.759 so yes, it affected that. So over to Jonathan Taylor. 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:47.880 The Jets are allowing the fifth most rushing touches touch 1:13:48.000 --> 1:13:52.120 it touches the tenth most rush yards. Teams kind of 1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:54.559 have to turn there because they can't pass on the Jets. 1:13:54.920 --> 1:13:57.840 Taylor himself averaging twenty touches per game for one hundred 1:13:57.840 --> 1:13:59.920 and four yards twenty plus in four The last five 1:14:00.520 --> 1:14:02.880 similar volume backs had one hundred and fifty two yards 1:14:02.920 --> 1:14:04.800 one hundred and two hundred and fifty two hundred two 1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:08.400 wow two to sixty five and one oh six, So 1:14:08.760 --> 1:14:11.680 a lot of volume from twenty plus touch It's not 1:14:11.840 --> 1:14:15.000 a slam dunk a grade because the Jets are boasting 1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:18.120 good numbers and yards per carry allowed only seven scores 1:14:18.120 --> 1:14:21.200 allowed on the season, but twenty plus touchbacks get there, 1:14:21.240 --> 1:14:23.400 and Jonathan Taylor is one of those. So it's only 1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:26.080 a B grade here. As if you're wondering about the 1:14:26.160 --> 1:14:30.880 other pass catchers, Michael Pittman, since uh, Michael Pittman sensed 1:14:30.960 --> 1:14:33.599 his back injury that he's been dealing with, we're looking 1:14:33.640 --> 1:14:36.599 at thirty five yards, sixty three yards, sixteen and fourteen, 1:14:36.640 --> 1:14:39.040 and then he missed a game. I can't give I 1:14:39.120 --> 1:14:41.360 can't give him a grade against the top five defense 1:14:41.439 --> 1:14:43.360 in receptions, yards and scores a lot of to wide 1:14:43.400 --> 1:14:47.680 receivers Alec Pierce, same deal he has. He's got a 1:14:47.880 --> 1:14:50.559 two big games, but otherwise it's like one big catch 1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:51.240 a game and that's it. 1:14:51.360 --> 1:14:52.799 Yeah, and this is the Jets defense. 1:14:52.960 --> 1:14:54.960 Yes, let's just moved. Let's just move. 1:14:55.080 --> 1:14:57.280 Josh Downs is great, but that's also a tough matchup 1:14:57.280 --> 1:14:58.320 in the slot against my mind. 1:14:58.200 --> 1:15:00.599 And he's terrible with Richardson except for the one game 1:15:00.680 --> 1:15:04.880 we didn't see commedians. Right over to the Jet side, 1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:08.320 Aaron Rodgers C grade. Before last week, Rogers had multiple 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:11.439 scores in five straight you know, overall, seven multiple score 1:15:11.479 --> 1:15:13.720 games out of the ten. But the yardage is like 1:15:13.760 --> 1:15:16.479 two and twenty five a game, so he needs the scores. 1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.439 The Colts have allowed the fifth most yards, but they've 1:15:19.479 --> 1:15:22.840 only allowed five scores of the last six games. 1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:23.040 Here. 1:15:23.840 --> 1:15:25.760 I don't I just I only have a C grade 1:15:25.760 --> 1:15:28.120 on Aaron Rodgers here he could get it, though he 1:15:28.200 --> 1:15:30.280 could get a B grade. I suppose I have a 1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:33.160 B plus grade on Garrett Wilson in a B minus 1:15:33.240 --> 1:15:36.479 grade on DeVonta Adams. What I mean, Well, they're both 1:15:36.560 --> 1:15:39.600 B grades, but Garrett Wilson is clearly well above it 1:15:40.360 --> 1:15:42.520 and DeVante Adams is clearly. 1:15:42.560 --> 1:15:45.000 WE got rules here. We operate under rules. Scott. 1:15:45.080 --> 1:15:48.120 You know that Garrett Wilson has tied for the NFL 1:15:48.200 --> 1:15:51.519 league in lead in red zone targets. Six wide receivers 1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:53.280 in the last three weeks have gone for eighty plus 1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:56.439 and or a score against the Colts, who are allowing 1:15:56.479 --> 1:15:58.519 the seventh most yards to wide receivers. So I like 1:15:58.600 --> 1:16:01.080 them both, but Wilson I like a whole lot more. 1:16:01.240 --> 1:16:05.240 Five plus catches in all but one game. Wilson does 1:16:05.320 --> 1:16:07.920 get the tougher matchup against Jalen Jones, who had two 1:16:08.000 --> 1:16:10.760 picks last week. Hasn't allow to score all year, a 1:16:10.880 --> 1:16:14.200 fifty two percent completion against fifty seven rating against. But 1:16:14.320 --> 1:16:17.880 Davante Adams has not been getting the yardage despite seeing 1:16:17.920 --> 1:16:20.320 the target volume, and he's dealing with an illness and 1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:23.519 a wrist injury. But those ten targets per game, I 1:16:23.640 --> 1:16:25.680 love that. I love the connection with Rodgers, and he's 1:16:25.760 --> 1:16:28.559 gained forty percent of the end zone targets with Rogers. 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:31.360 He's just not getting the scores of the volume just yet. 1:16:31.479 --> 1:16:34.080 But I still got a B grade on him. Breese 1:16:34.080 --> 1:16:37.040 Hall B grade on him. He's been between eighty and 1:16:37.160 --> 1:16:40.519 ninety yards and fourteen to seventeen touches three straight, you know, 1:16:40.600 --> 1:16:43.600 the games with DeVante Adams, but just one score, and 1:16:43.680 --> 1:16:46.600 that is partly due to Rogers being top five in 1:16:46.760 --> 1:16:49.960 red zone and inside the five pass attempts. When he 1:16:50.040 --> 1:16:52.240 gets down there, he's not headed off. He wants to find. 1:16:52.439 --> 1:16:55.840 He wants to find those scores. So he's taking those opportunities, 1:16:56.000 --> 1:16:59.160 as is Braylan Allen, who's taking seven to ten touches 1:16:59.200 --> 1:17:02.200 and being super inefficient with them. He's on the bench 1:17:02.240 --> 1:17:06.719 because since we two that game, he scored twice super inefficient. 1:17:06.840 --> 1:17:09.800 In fact, he ranked second worst in rushing over expectation, 1:17:10.720 --> 1:17:14.840 barely beating out Zamir White. We thought he looked good, 1:17:15.040 --> 1:17:17.439 I just said everything, but he's been bad, so he's 1:17:17.520 --> 1:17:19.280 on the bench. Be great for Hall if you miss that. 1:17:19.640 --> 1:17:22.200 All right, let's take a break. When we come back 1:17:22.560 --> 1:17:24.960 premature speculation, We'll give you some players you'll want to 1:17:24.960 --> 1:17:27.360 pick up now that other people will be trying to 1:17:27.400 --> 1:17:29.599 pick up next week. They'll already be on your lot 1:17:29.760 --> 1:17:35.200 in your roster. And the best extra divisional rivalry in football, 1:17:35.479 --> 1:17:39.160 Chiefs Bills bring down that game. When we come back 1:17:39.280 --> 1:18:01.719 Fantasy Football Weekly, I'll save in a Fantasy Football Weekly, 1:18:02.000 --> 1:18:06.240 we start by jumping into the FFW time machine for 1:18:06.400 --> 1:18:09.439 premature speculation. Guys you want to pick up now that 1:18:09.520 --> 1:18:11.120 others will be trying to pick up next week. We 1:18:11.240 --> 1:18:12.160 begin with Scott Fish. 1:18:12.320 --> 1:18:12.519 Yeah. 1:18:12.640 --> 1:18:14.560 Since I'm such a rule breaker today, I'm gonna go 1:18:14.600 --> 1:18:17.160 with two of them. I'm going with Juju Smith Schuster 1:18:17.240 --> 1:18:19.519 of the Kansas City Chiefs taking a shot that he 1:18:19.720 --> 1:18:22.479 becomes that seven for one hundred and thirty yard guy 1:18:22.600 --> 1:18:25.720 that overtook the Rashi Rice Roll earlier in the year 1:18:26.400 --> 1:18:29.880 thirteen percent rostered and the second one Davis Allen, just 1:18:30.040 --> 1:18:33.519 two percent roster. His snap percentages have gone from four 1:18:33.600 --> 1:18:36.000 to twenty two to thirty nine to fifty five to 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:39.720 eighty percent. Last week he had five for thirty six 1:18:39.800 --> 1:18:41.880 on six targets. He's got four red zone targets in 1:18:41.920 --> 1:18:43.880 the last two weeks. He's taken over that Rams tight 1:18:43.960 --> 1:18:44.280 end role. 1:18:44.400 --> 1:18:47.719 Rams tight end Davis Allen. Yeah, premature speculation, player, Brian. 1:18:47.800 --> 1:18:49.200 We're gonna stay with the Rams and go with their 1:18:49.240 --> 1:18:52.720 backup rookie rookie running back Blake Korum. I mentioned him 1:18:52.720 --> 1:18:55.920 because Kyen Williams he handles ninety percent of the snaps, 1:18:55.920 --> 1:18:58.120 but if something were to happen to Karen Williams, Blake 1:18:58.200 --> 1:19:01.160 Korum would step right into that workload. No other backup 1:19:01.240 --> 1:19:03.559 running back could say the same. Really in the league 1:19:03.640 --> 1:19:06.120 right now in the Rams have a top five schedule 1:19:06.200 --> 1:19:08.640 remaining for running backs in terms of how easy it is, 1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:09.759 So go grab. 1:19:09.680 --> 1:19:10.960 Korum if you have been an open spot. 1:19:11.040 --> 1:19:15.360 I'm gonna push some booty at you. Kayshawn Bouti dismissed 1:19:15.400 --> 1:19:19.680 earlier in this show by Brian Johnson, he dismissed. But 1:19:19.800 --> 1:19:22.680 if you think Drake May is an improving passer, like 1:19:22.800 --> 1:19:25.679 I do, know this, over the past three weeks, Kaishan 1:19:25.720 --> 1:19:29.719 Butte has turned into Bouti has turned into May's most 1:19:29.840 --> 1:19:33.800 targeted receiver. Jalen Polk's dropping off a lot. I don't 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:36.680 know that he's a special player, but somebody's gonna get 1:19:36.680 --> 1:19:39.120 paid if Drake May keeps getting better, and I think 1:19:39.280 --> 1:19:40.599 it's Kaishawn Bouti. 1:19:41.080 --> 1:19:41.400 I like it. 1:19:41.479 --> 1:19:44.000 Let's go to the Chiefs taking on the Bills. This 1:19:44.160 --> 1:19:46.680 is the best extra divisional rivalry in football. And I'm 1:19:46.720 --> 1:19:49.240 going to begin with Travis Kelcey, who's an obvious a. 1:19:49.680 --> 1:19:52.960 He scored twice in the January meeting between these two teams. 1:19:53.360 --> 1:19:57.000 Moving on to trickier matchups, DeAndre Hopkins gets pushed to 1:19:57.080 --> 1:20:00.320 the outside with the return of Juju Smith Schuster, and 1:20:00.439 --> 1:20:03.879 there he's got a tough matchup against Christian Bentford, Russeuell Douglass. 1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:07.360 Those guys are very good. Benford Ranks is profo about focus, 1:20:07.479 --> 1:20:11.080 is fourteenth best cornerback, and Douglas is nearly as good. 1:20:11.360 --> 1:20:13.080 Hopkins had a huge game two weeks ago that was 1:20:13.080 --> 1:20:16.320 against a very bad Tampa secondary. This is a much 1:20:16.360 --> 1:20:19.240 tougher one, and he's only a C grade. Juju also 1:20:19.320 --> 1:20:21.320 comes in with C grade. He's gonna run from the 1:20:21.360 --> 1:20:23.880 slot a lot if what we saw a month ago 1:20:24.040 --> 1:20:26.880 is any indication in his one game as a starter there. 1:20:27.240 --> 1:20:30.000 And he's got a nice matchup against Bill's slot corner 1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:33.400 Tarron Johnson. Johnson giving up an eighty percent completion rate, 1:20:33.640 --> 1:20:35.800 sixth worst among all cornerbacks, and he gave up a 1:20:35.840 --> 1:20:38.639 touchdown last week as well. And then there's Xavier Worthy, 1:20:38.680 --> 1:20:41.840 who I'm just I'm completely done with him. Thor's thorn 1:20:41.920 --> 1:20:44.960 Eistrom's worries about Worthy have turned out to be completely true. 1:20:45.040 --> 1:20:47.960 He is an all or nothing fantasy vertical route runner 1:20:47.960 --> 1:20:51.320 who needs long bomb completions. And here's the real clincher 1:20:51.360 --> 1:20:53.240 to leave Worthy on your bench this week for a 1:20:53.280 --> 1:20:56.120 guy who needs long bombs. The Bills allow the second 1:20:56.280 --> 1:21:00.320 shortest average completion in the league. So Xavier Worthy on 1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:03.400 our benches, and that leaves us in the passing game 1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:07.439 with just Patrick dump off Mahomes. He's quarterback thirteen on 1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:10.400 the season. He's averaging barely one touchdown pass per game. 1:21:11.080 --> 1:21:13.360 At the Buffalo's I've already talked about a good, not great, 1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:16.280 but a good secondary, and just the explosiveness is missing 1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:19.400 from the Chiefs offense and it's reflected in mahomes average 1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:23.240 depth of target. On the season, Mahomes is twentieth in 1:21:23.400 --> 1:21:25.800 a DOT and over the past month he's all the 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:28.880 way down to twenty six. These short passes just don't 1:21:28.880 --> 1:21:32.440 help the fantasy game. And then just scream Hunt really languishing. 1:21:32.560 --> 1:21:35.240 Is a runner just averaging just three point six yards 1:21:35.280 --> 1:21:39.280 per carry, but so much volume that it's become really 1:21:39.439 --> 1:21:42.600 fantasy viable in almost every game because he gets the 1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:45.519 ball so much. Since becoming the starter, Hunt leads all 1:21:45.640 --> 1:21:49.479 backs in rushes per game at twenty two and fortunately 1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:52.080 against Buffalo runners who have at least eighteen carries are 1:21:52.120 --> 1:21:54.720 averaging one hundred and thirty yards in almost a full 1:21:54.920 --> 1:21:58.400 touchdown per game. So a B grade on Kareem Hunt. 1:21:58.680 --> 1:22:00.680 Let's go over to the Buffalo side. I told you 1:22:00.720 --> 1:22:03.400 earlier in the show. Dawson Knox may take a chance 1:22:03.479 --> 1:22:06.080 on receiver, Take a chance on me, receiver, love him here. 1:22:06.880 --> 1:22:09.280 The other receivers is a little bit trickier. On Khalil 1:22:09.400 --> 1:22:13.040 Shakir has been exceptionally safe in PPR formats because he's 1:22:13.120 --> 1:22:15.519 been good for six or seven catches for fifty or 1:22:15.560 --> 1:22:19.360 sixty yards in every game. The bill slot receiver is 1:22:19.479 --> 1:22:21.840 more effective when he doesn't have to carry the passing game. 1:22:21.880 --> 1:22:23.280 And I do worry a little bit about that here 1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:25.600 because Keon Coleman's not gonna go Dalton Kin Kaid's not 1:22:25.680 --> 1:22:29.639 going to go Shakier becomes a focus of the passing game, 1:22:29.720 --> 1:22:31.720 and I don't always know that that he's able to 1:22:31.800 --> 1:22:34.920 carry that. Fortunately, Kansas City gives up the second highest 1:22:34.920 --> 1:22:38.240 percentage of Fantasy points to the slot. Well, that's good 1:22:38.360 --> 1:22:40.680 Khalil Shakir play. So he's a C grade. If I 1:22:40.720 --> 1:22:43.000 didn't say Dawson Knox B grade, he's a B grade. 1:22:43.320 --> 1:22:44.599 And I'm take a chance. 1:22:44.880 --> 1:22:46.040 You might take a chance with me play, So I 1:22:46.120 --> 1:22:48.760 do like him. My bench player around the bench is 1:22:48.840 --> 1:22:51.000 Amari Cooper. I just don't know how much we can 1:22:51.000 --> 1:22:53.519 trust him yet because we just haven't seen him healthy 1:22:53.800 --> 1:22:56.639 in a full role with this offense, and I worry 1:22:56.640 --> 1:22:59.639 it's gonna get shadow coverage from excellent cornerback Trent McDuffie. 1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:02.320 In his coverage, he gives up just two catches for 1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:05.840 twenty nine yards, although weirdly, mcduffey's given up touchdowns in 1:23:05.840 --> 1:23:08.040 the back to back games, which is not normally like him. 1:23:08.680 --> 1:23:10.840 And then where does that leave us with Josh Allen? 1:23:11.800 --> 1:23:14.759 In the playoff matchup last January, Kansas City held Josh 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:17.120 Allen to just one hundred and eighty six passing yards 1:23:17.160 --> 1:23:19.799 and one touchdown, but he ran in two scores. Kansas 1:23:19.840 --> 1:23:22.519 City's given up some big quarterback rushing days, so Josh 1:23:22.560 --> 1:23:24.640 could help with his legs. Don't love most of his 1:23:24.760 --> 1:23:27.559 receiving options. I've got a B grade on Josh Allen 1:23:28.040 --> 1:23:29.600 in this one. Let's hope he can run for a 1:23:29.640 --> 1:23:31.920 little bit more than what I like his receivers to do. 1:23:32.240 --> 1:23:35.840 And then the lastly, James Cook a brutal matchup against 1:23:35.880 --> 1:23:38.320 Kansas Kansas City run defense that is starting to look 1:23:38.560 --> 1:23:41.640 historically great, giving up just fifty two rushing yards per 1:23:41.720 --> 1:23:45.200 game three point two yards per carry. They rank fourth 1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:49.200 in run defense success rate. Where Cook typically spikes is 1:23:49.280 --> 1:23:51.560 in blowout wins. And I don't think we're going to 1:23:51.600 --> 1:23:55.240 get a blowout win against an undefeated Chiefs team here. 1:23:55.800 --> 1:23:57.519 I can only get you to a B grade on Cook, 1:23:57.560 --> 1:24:00.680 and I really strongly considered a seed grade, Brian, you've 1:24:00.720 --> 1:24:03.439 got our final matchup. It's Houston taking on Dallas. 1:24:04.080 --> 1:24:05.880 Yeah, we probably should have closed with the your game 1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:09.240 because this one is not nearly as interesting. To be honest, 1:24:09.280 --> 1:24:12.280 it's going to be a Monday night stinker. But apparently 1:24:12.360 --> 1:24:14.479 they can flex Monday night games now, which they should. 1:24:14.560 --> 1:24:16.240 They should have not here, but for now we're. 1:24:16.080 --> 1:24:17.800 Stuck with this on Monday Night. Let's start with the 1:24:17.840 --> 1:24:19.839 Houston side and Joe Mixon. 1:24:20.360 --> 1:24:21.479 Easy A for Joe. 1:24:21.960 --> 1:24:24.400 The Cowboys are one of the biggest run funnels in 1:24:24.479 --> 1:24:27.559 the league. Over the last four games, Dallas has yielded 1:24:27.600 --> 1:24:30.639 more than twenty seven rush attempts per game to running backs, 1:24:30.960 --> 1:24:33.400 who have averaged nearly one hundred and thirty rushing yards 1:24:33.479 --> 1:24:34.120 during that span. 1:24:34.680 --> 1:24:35.799 So easy a for mixing. 1:24:35.960 --> 1:24:38.360 But that's why Dariogunbawale was your take a chance to 1:24:38.400 --> 1:24:40.599 be running back Charch and I agree. They're not gonna 1:24:40.680 --> 1:24:42.519 need mixing for a full game, one would think, and 1:24:42.560 --> 1:24:44.200 they want to save them a little bit for the 1:24:44.240 --> 1:24:47.160 playoff stretch. So Ogunbawalle viable in this game. 1:24:47.200 --> 1:24:47.639 I agree. 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:52.320 Nico Collins will be viable. Thankfully, he will play, so 1:24:52.760 --> 1:24:55.800 he and Tanked'll get a B b here kind of 1:24:55.880 --> 1:24:58.360 just for volume concerns, but it is a good matchup 1:24:58.439 --> 1:25:01.280 on paper. Since Week five, Dallas has allowed the ninth 1:25:01.360 --> 1:25:04.120 most receiving yards per game in the eighth most fantasy 1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:06.600 points per game to perimeter wide out. So it be 1:25:07.120 --> 1:25:10.360 for Nico and Tank Dell Sadly, I have Dalton Schultz 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:12.719 on the bench in a revenge game against his old team, 1:25:13.240 --> 1:25:16.240 Dallas allowing just three catches and forty two yards per 1:25:16.360 --> 1:25:18.479 game to tight end. So Schultz is on the bench 1:25:18.600 --> 1:25:21.320 even in the wasteland, and I will give CJ. Stroud 1:25:21.360 --> 1:25:24.080 to see now that Nico says he will play. Dallas 1:25:24.120 --> 1:25:27.280 has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in four of their last 1:25:27.520 --> 1:25:30.200 five games. But again, game script a bit of a 1:25:30.280 --> 1:25:33.519 concern here, but Stroud is startable but not an elite 1:25:33.520 --> 1:25:38.479 option by any means. Over the Dallas side, not elite options. 1:25:38.560 --> 1:25:43.519 Tom Rico Dowbell the softest of seas for the back 1:25:43.560 --> 1:25:46.880 who projects to be the lead back for Dallas. He's 1:25:46.920 --> 1:25:49.000 basically the only running back on roster who is in 1:25:49.240 --> 1:25:52.400 dust at this point when we're talking Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott, 1:25:53.400 --> 1:25:54.120 Leonard Fournette. 1:25:54.120 --> 1:25:55.200 Is he a cowboy yet. 1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:56.559 Was tried out with him this week. 1:25:56.600 --> 1:25:57.400 I don't think. 1:25:57.520 --> 1:26:00.760 I don't think I would start you got fish over. 1:26:01.240 --> 1:26:03.679 I'm starting Rico Daddle still with the Sea, but again 1:26:03.800 --> 1:26:07.040 awful matchup. He is a warm body. If you need one, 1:26:07.240 --> 1:26:08.519 doubt all is your dude. 1:26:09.000 --> 1:26:09.760 Ceedee Lamb. 1:26:10.040 --> 1:26:13.760 We're not sabotage dropping him yet he gets a Sea 1:26:13.840 --> 1:26:16.559 in this one. He'll get peppered with, peppered with targets 1:26:16.680 --> 1:26:20.360 as he did last week forty target share, but they 1:26:20.400 --> 1:26:23.880 will be of poor quality from Cooper Rush or Tray 1:26:24.040 --> 1:26:26.599 End or Trey Lance. We might see some Trey Lance 1:26:26.640 --> 1:26:29.760 in this game. Hopefully garbage time can save us c 1:26:29.920 --> 1:26:32.080 ed here. We know the sun won't be a factor 1:26:32.360 --> 1:26:34.000 for Ceedee Lamb on Monday night. 1:26:34.080 --> 1:26:34.680 So he got that. 1:26:35.400 --> 1:26:40.120 Yes, my squinting, my Jonathan Mingo joke bombed and take 1:26:40.160 --> 1:26:42.080 a chance on me, but not taking a chance on 1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:47.240 Mingo or Jim. 1:26:45.479 --> 1:26:47.920 One day, am I ng O? No, He's He's never 1:26:47.960 --> 1:26:51.080 gonna be startled. I'm still laughing at that trade man, 1:26:51.160 --> 1:26:52.160 Jerry Jones. Something else. 1:26:52.240 --> 1:26:55.040 Jake ferguson a tight end. You think you could trust 1:26:55.120 --> 1:26:58.320 every week, can't trust him this week unfortunately, with Cooper 1:26:58.400 --> 1:27:00.439 Rush at quarterback and I'll throw the out there for 1:27:00.560 --> 1:27:03.680 Jake Ferguson, sadly one of only two players who have 1:27:03.760 --> 1:27:07.280 more than fifty targets on the season and zero receiving touchdowns. 1:27:07.320 --> 1:27:12.360 The other Trey McBride why sixty five targets, zero touchdowns 1:27:12.720 --> 1:27:16.919 and last league Cooper Rush. Oh no, slash Trey Lance. Probably, 1:27:17.200 --> 1:27:17.920 I would start. 1:27:17.760 --> 1:27:20.880 Trey Lance first, even though he's not the starter, in 1:27:21.000 --> 1:27:24.000 the hopes that Trey Lance relieves Cooper Rush and then 1:27:24.120 --> 1:27:25.759 runs ye for a bunch of success. 1:27:26.400 --> 1:27:29.320 You're in a Dynasty Empire league or even a super 1:27:29.360 --> 1:27:31.320 Flex league, Go grab Trey Lance. 1:27:31.360 --> 1:27:31.640 Why not. 1:27:32.040 --> 1:27:33.559 They're going to take an extended look at him at 1:27:33.600 --> 1:27:36.000 some point, doubts he would think. So if he's out there, 1:27:36.120 --> 1:27:36.559 go get him. 1:27:36.720 --> 1:27:40.719 Great show, guys.
