Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Paul. Welcome to eight Divisional Round
Speaker 1: version of Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul charging In. My
Speaker 1: co host is Brian Johnson. Hello, what's up Charged, Divisional Round? Yeah,
Speaker 1: always the best weekend of football. It is the best
Speaker 1: weekend of football, you know, because sure we had more
Speaker 1: games last week, but think of the quality of games.
Speaker 1: They were terrible by and large, pretty much mostly descript,
Speaker 1: especially since I thought San Francisco would win. If you
Speaker 1: heard this podcast last week, heard me talking, I had
Speaker 1: that game matchup, and I was open about him, like
Speaker 1: like I think the underdog is gonna win this one,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's the case this week for
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But we'll do Yeah, we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: game in a minute. Let's just we'll just let's do
Speaker 1: the Saturday games in order, all right, beginning with the
Speaker 1: first game, which I believe, by the way I'm ball
Speaker 1: start time on that game. I believe the start time
Speaker 1: is an hour later than normal. I think it's two
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, one o'clock Central, which is weird. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a little later. I could be wrong. You know, Sunday,
Speaker 1: Sunday's got the oddball start time. Yeah, I guess Saturday's
Speaker 1: all our odd ball start times. But alright, so let's lose.
Speaker 1: There's no Monday night game this Yeah, no kidding, that
Speaker 1: was weird. Okay, let's talk Cincinnati Tennessee. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are focused on the Tennessee running back situation,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to. Well, let's start with Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: in the running game for the Bengals. Yeah. I'm not
Speaker 1: like in Mixon's prospects too much in this one. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna give him a C grade for this game.
Speaker 1: Mired in a bit of a slump, Joe Mixing is
Speaker 1: just two touchdowns over his last six games, averaging just
Speaker 1: three three yards per carry during that span. He's been
Speaker 1: a bit banged up. No excuse though, but no injury
Speaker 1: designation for Joe here. But he's really just a volume
Speaker 1: based play in this matchup. Tennessee has surrendered the fourth
Speaker 1: fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs all year, just nine. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Titans have also allowed the second fewest rushing yards
Speaker 1: to the position, just six more yards in the Bucks
Speaker 1: the vaunted Bucks rushed defense, So not a great matchup
Speaker 1: for Joe. Opposing running backs have averaged nearly five catches
Speaker 1: per game against the Titans, and Mixing has been very
Speaker 1: active in the passing game recently totally nineteen targets over
Speaker 1: the last three So whatever format you're using or playing in,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon certainly viable. But uh, this is more about
Speaker 1: the passing game really. I'm so I'm sticking with c
Speaker 1: I'm sinking if he's gonna get five receptions for you know,
Speaker 1: thirty yards, I'm already at eight points. And yeah, if
Speaker 1: he gets that, he'll be closer to bat range. He's
Speaker 1: gotta be upside, for sure. He's got a upside in
Speaker 1: most case is but I'm being a little conservative with
Speaker 1: the CE. Not gonna be conservative with Jamar Chase though. Uh.
Speaker 1: He gets an a easy, a monster game against the
Speaker 1: Raiders last week despite not scoring a touchdown. Good chance
Speaker 1: he scores this week weekend, though, Titans are one of
Speaker 1: five teams to surrender at least twenty touchdowns to wide receivers.
Speaker 1: They've also yielded the most targets to the position, which
Speaker 1: has resulted in the second most catches and yards allowed.
Speaker 1: So love Jamaar Chase. He gets the A and Tee
Speaker 1: Higgins gonna give him a B in a homecoming game.
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the city, but he hails
Speaker 1: somewhere from Tennessee, so he returns home. I think Haggins.
Speaker 1: I think Higgins has a better game than than Jamar Chase. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was very quiet last week against the Raiders, but
Speaker 1: he drew more coverage from their top corner Casey Hayward
Speaker 1: than Jamar Chased it, which was kind of odd. So
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like, if you're playing in big GPP tournaments,
Speaker 1: people are gonna gravitate towards Jamar Cha. It's more likely
Speaker 1: he's more expensive. But I like the contrarian angle with
Speaker 1: Higgins coming off the quiet game to give him a B.
Speaker 1: But I do think he could outproduce Chason this one.
Speaker 1: Like you said, uh, Tyler Boyd another starting grade for him.
Speaker 1: He gets a C. Scored last weekend, now has touchdowns
Speaker 1: in four straight games. He's also caught at least five
Speaker 1: balls in each Uh. The Titans are more vulnerable to
Speaker 1: the long ball long pass, but that's not really Boyd's
Speaker 1: m O. But UH still like him with the c
Speaker 1: Unlike last week, I don't like c j Uzoma got
Speaker 1: him on the bench because the Titans have allowed the
Speaker 1: second fewest tight end touchdowns on the season, just three
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends average a meager four catches thirty six
Speaker 1: yards against Tennessee this season. I look elsewhere at tight
Speaker 1: end UH this week, and I'd admit omit uzi ouzy
Speaker 1: sorry for many Cincinnati stacks you might be contemplating on Saturday.
Speaker 1: And lastly, Joe Burrow, though he gets an a, Tennessee
Speaker 1: was top ten and the most fantasy points surrendered to quarterbacks. UH,
Speaker 1: no surprise considering the Titans have yielded the third most
Speaker 1: pass attempts on the season. I also didn't mention that
Speaker 1: starting cornerback General's Jenkins for Tennessee is very iffy to
Speaker 1: play with the ankle injury. It sounds like he'll probably go,
Speaker 1: but I still you wonder about the mobility on the
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Canny Kenny cut as hard to keep up
Speaker 1: can is he gonna give up a lot of cushion.
Speaker 1: Those are all good question marks about Jenkins. Yeah, he'll
Speaker 1: be far from one percent. And now speaking of one
Speaker 1: or how close to one percent one might be, let's
Speaker 1: go to the Tennessee side and Derrick Henry, who uh
Speaker 1: says his foot feels just like he did before, despite
Speaker 1: a steel plate that's now in there, temporarily in there,
Speaker 1: but it's in there right now. Uh as if it's recording.
Speaker 1: He has not been officially activated, but trending that way.
Speaker 1: His practice participate participation in practice has trended up throughout
Speaker 1: the week, expected to handle a near full workload against
Speaker 1: the Bengals who are banged up on their D line.
Speaker 1: Do we know that though, I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: all speculation. But I mean, if he's playing, he's playing.
Speaker 1: I mean, really, I don't. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: that that's the case on a foot injury, first game back.
Speaker 1: I mean, he'll play, But is he gonna be the
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry of old getting twenty five carries almost certainly not.
Speaker 1: Reports out of practice are that he looks spride mobile
Speaker 1: like the old Derrick Henry, the old young Derrick Henry. Look,
Speaker 1: you know, after what cam Akers did all bets are
Speaker 1: off right. I mean, you know, maybe he's the work
Speaker 1: horse back and totally different injury, but still, I'm sure
Speaker 1: they'll numb that foot up nice and good too. Probably. Um.
Speaker 1: You know. The other thing is dor Foreman hasn't been bad.
Speaker 1: You know, they don't need Henry to have twenty six
Speaker 1: carries to win the game. No, they don't. And uh,
Speaker 1: the Bengals are banged up on their D line. Knows
Speaker 1: tackle Josh too too tupo tupo t u p o
Speaker 1: you yea, I should I should have looked up the
Speaker 1: pronunciation before the podcast, and uh, defensive tackle Larry ogun
Speaker 1: job are both nursing injuries. Ogun Joby didn't play last
Speaker 1: week and we not play this week. And Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: had eighty three rushing yards and just thirteen carries last week.
Speaker 1: He looked great. The game script kind of flipped on Jacobs.
Speaker 1: He could had a much bigger day and Henry could
Speaker 1: too if he handles sixty seventy percent of the carries,
Speaker 1: which I kind of expect him to do. So for
Speaker 1: that reason, I got Dante Foreman on the bench if
Speaker 1: Henry's activated. He just can't trust the workload for him.
Speaker 1: Even though if it's a split split workload, I just can't.
Speaker 1: I can't go the way of downtep form and I
Speaker 1: got him on the bench, but I will grow. I've
Speaker 1: I would have a C grade on form and based
Speaker 1: on him getting somewhere between low end thirty percent of
Speaker 1: the work high end eighty percent of the work. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a there's still a very real scenario where Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry gets where. They're very careful with Derrick Henry, especially
Speaker 1: if they're head early and they don't run him hard
Speaker 1: in this game. I feel like they wouldn't be that
Speaker 1: careful with Henry if they did. They got to anticipate
Speaker 1: they're gonna win this game the Titans, so they wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to have a major setback for Henry and especially
Speaker 1: for the rest of his career. Okay, but that's why
Speaker 1: I'm saying you go easy on Henry. Well, if Foreman
Speaker 1: was more of a pass catcher, I I'd be with
Speaker 1: you on the sea. What Drea it is of you there?
Speaker 1: I think I am throwing a c dart though on
Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard. Really just like if you're playing in larger
Speaker 1: uh DFS GPP tournaments, uh dirt cheap, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: use them. The Bengals have allowed the fifth most catches
Speaker 1: the running backs. Last week, Raiders backs total five catches
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. So if you're looking for a contrarian angle, UH,
Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard is your guy. UH, quickly over to the
Speaker 1: passing game and A J. Brown will start with him.
Speaker 1: A pretty neutral matchup for the wide receivers. They've averaged
Speaker 1: just thirteen catches, one fifty six yards and zero point
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns against the Bengals this year. That said, since
Speaker 1: he has surrendered a touchdown to the position in five
Speaker 1: straight games, including last week to A Jones. Uh. The
Speaker 1: Raiders wide receivers did total seven team catches for a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six yards eighty six yards, which is
Speaker 1: higher than that four mentioned per game average. So an
Speaker 1: easy b for A J. Brown. And I'll give a
Speaker 1: seat to Julio Jones arguably the healthiest he's been since
Speaker 1: Week one. Just one touchdown this season, but he is
Speaker 1: near full health. He did see nine targets in Week eight,
Speaker 1: team caught five of them for fifty eight yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. UH. A neutral matchup again, but I think
Speaker 1: Julio sees at least seven targets in this one, so
Speaker 1: I like him with the sea and I said bench
Speaker 1: c j Uzoma. If you're looking for a tight end
Speaker 1: in this game, it's Anthony Firkser throwing another C dart seven.
Speaker 1: Jeff Swain had taken the job from him essentially, but
Speaker 1: over the last two regular season games, Brooks are out
Speaker 1: targeted Swain seven targets caught, all seven of them scored
Speaker 1: in both games. In weeks seventeen and eighteen, the Bengals
Speaker 1: were top five in the most catches, yards and touchdowns
Speaker 1: surrendered to tight ends last week, since he yielded twelve
Speaker 1: targets sit Darren Waller he caught seven. Foster Moreau also
Speaker 1: saw three targets, so tight ends heavily involved against the
Speaker 1: Bengal So I'm gonna give a Rooks are the c
Speaker 1: dart And lastly, Ryan Tannehill would be for him. He's
Speaker 1: basically played four games this year with A. J. Brown,
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and Derrick Henry all healthy in the lineup,
Speaker 1: so I'm optimistic he can produce here the Bengals that
Speaker 1: allow the six most passing yards of this season. Tannehill
Speaker 1: was also second in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks, was seven,
Speaker 1: behind only Jalen Hurt. So Tannehill could have a big
Speaker 1: game in this one. He could sort of went the bed,
Speaker 1: but I think he. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: great game to watch. I think it's gonna be It's
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Might be the best game of the weekend.
Speaker 1: The You know, obviously Tennessee would love to do their formula,
Speaker 1: which is grinding out games on the ground, and they
Speaker 1: can do that with two different backs. And the Bengals
Speaker 1: want to go to their strength and that's passing the ball,
Speaker 1: and you know, those two things can be at odds
Speaker 1: with each other. It can be, it can create big points.
Speaker 1: Who knows, this could be that game could be a
Speaker 1: ton of fun, a couple of different I'm always a
Speaker 1: little wary of the UH one seed. You know that
Speaker 1: they're cold and the Bengals are coming in hot. You
Speaker 1: know they're on a roll. So see what happens. Just
Speaker 1: go takes on green Bay. These teams met in Week three.
Speaker 1: It was a narrow two point win for green Bay.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, San Francisco has played gallantly down the stretch.
Speaker 1: They've won five of the last six to get themselves
Speaker 1: back into the playoffs, and the only loss they had
Speaker 1: was by three points to the a f c's at
Speaker 1: number one seed Tennessee. That includes back to back road
Speaker 1: playoff wins. A week A teen was effectively a playoff
Speaker 1: win to get into the playoffs against the Rams, and
Speaker 1: they had the road win last week. Now on a
Speaker 1: short week, Brian, they're back on the road to travel again.
Speaker 1: They've been on the road six of the last eight games,
Speaker 1: and I just worried the Niners don't have any juice left,
Speaker 1: you know. They they they they staggered to the victory
Speaker 1: line last week and collapse, collapse. I'm just I'm nervous
Speaker 1: about this game. The kickoff temperature is currently forecast to
Speaker 1: be ten degrees. They couldn't give them the afternoon game.
Speaker 1: And I've seen videos of practice and they're in shorts
Speaker 1: and like you gotta crank up the a C to
Speaker 1: like you gotta go finally the biggest like a meat
Speaker 1: locker you can find practice in there, because yeah, they
Speaker 1: they're in for a cold one. My understanding of what
Speaker 1: I've just seen go by my my Twitter account is
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo has never started a game below freezing ever
Speaker 1: history of life. Yeah, he had some cold games in
Speaker 1: New England, but he was jacket exactly. So I'm you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear some more suppressed grades for Niners than last
Speaker 1: week when I thought they were going to upset the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Let's start with Eliza Mitchell. Over the
Speaker 1: past six games, he's averaging twenty six carries a game
Speaker 1: six and his volume is not reliant on game script.
Speaker 1: You talked about this last week. Even in losses, he
Speaker 1: gets plenty of carries. When they're losing, he gets plenty
Speaker 1: of cares um. And what I love about him is
Speaker 1: even if the Packers roll, Mitchell's going to get his carries.
Speaker 1: And if Garoppolo's injuries are a problem, he's got thumb
Speaker 1: and shoulder injuries. The running game is going to be
Speaker 1: that much more emphasized against Green Bay Backs with at
Speaker 1: least seventeen carries, and again, he's averaging twenty six backs
Speaker 1: with the least seventeen carries are averaging two yards and
Speaker 1: almost five yards per carry. It's amazing he's averaging that
Speaker 1: many carries with Debo right there. Debo last week took
Speaker 1: a career high ten snaps and Mitchell and twenty seven
Speaker 1: carries unbelievable. So let's go to debo. Mitchell, by the way,
Speaker 1: a great debo, A grade H A candidate for the
Speaker 1: best sleeper in last year's draft, with an average draft
Speaker 1: position of the seventh round. Quiet in the first game
Speaker 1: just five catches, fifty two scoreless yards. Superstar cornerback Jr.
Speaker 1: Alexander's expected to return from this game, but he hasn't
Speaker 1: played since September, and we're gonna see a diminished snap
Speaker 1: count for Alexander in this one. Um Samuel getting those
Speaker 1: ten carries last week, maybe that carries over here and
Speaker 1: he gets he continues to get double digit carries, but
Speaker 1: that's a bit of an outlier. He's probably more likely
Speaker 1: to have five carries. But still add in his receiving
Speaker 1: and the rushing and how effective and dangerous Deebo Samuel
Speaker 1: is and you have an obvious eight grade. Let's go
Speaker 1: to some of the other receivers. Brandon I gets a
Speaker 1: B grade. He scored in the Week three matchup. He
Speaker 1: runs from all over the field but slightly leans to
Speaker 1: the left side, where he'll see Russul Douglas, who's been
Speaker 1: fantastic and a great signing for this team. Since arriving
Speaker 1: in Week six, Douglas has allowed three touchdowns and had
Speaker 1: five interceptions, and the passer rating in his coverage is
Speaker 1: forty nine. That's it. You will also see some of
Speaker 1: j Alexander and Eric Stokes and jan and Sullivan and
Speaker 1: so there are some better opportunities around, but most often
Speaker 1: he lines up against where Russul Douglas is. So I
Speaker 1: just got the B grade on him. Kittle was great
Speaker 1: in the Week three matchup. Seven catches ninety two yards,
Speaker 1: the second most of any tight end to face the
Speaker 1: Packers all year. And get this, Packers played four elite
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. Kitty just mentioned Andrew's, Kelsey and Hockinson.
Speaker 1: They all scored or top ninety two yards. I don't
Speaker 1: think total yards over the last time. It's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of frustration that they aren't doing more. They're not
Speaker 1: doing more to manufacture ways to get the ball in
Speaker 1: Kittle's hands. Some people are speculating that he's more hurt
Speaker 1: than we know, and so that's part of why. Um
Speaker 1: other people are just saying, look, Deebo, Samuel so special
Speaker 1: and he's soaking up receptions and runs and all these
Speaker 1: other things. So you know, with Mitchell getting else, carry
Speaker 1: Sama getting all that attention there just as an enough
Speaker 1: Baalds go around for Kittle, I've gotta be grade on him.
Speaker 1: And let's go to Jimmy Garoppolo the last oh second
Speaker 1: to last night. In fact, I'm not going to Garoppolo yet.
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings great DFS sleeper. And also, by the way,
Speaker 1: I'll mentioned for those of you that like to prop
Speaker 1: bed his over unders, I think thirty seven yards were
Speaker 1: taking the over slattery sievers have fared well against the Packers.
Speaker 1: Chandon Sullivan, i'man ras St Brown, Cooper Cup, Deante Johnson,
Speaker 1: both Minnesota receivers who sometimes run for the slot, demere Bird.
Speaker 1: They've all had good games out of the slot against
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Jennings has been on the field for at
Speaker 1: least half of the team's play since Week thirteen, so
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him to be able to
Speaker 1: get a little something done. Let's go to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Now you think I'd haven't rated a little by the
Speaker 1: way Jennings is to see, uh, you think I might
Speaker 1: have a little higher? Say are you gonna be? And
Speaker 1: Catalana B and samuelan and A. But when we give
Speaker 1: these grades they have, it's not like they're all that
Speaker 1: like they have that potential, but unlikely they all hit
Speaker 1: that mark right, And Samuel gives part of Samuel's A
Speaker 1: great is what he could do on the ground, it
Speaker 1: is even through the air. So for Garoppolo, I'm showing
Speaker 1: a little caution in this great because he got the
Speaker 1: thumb injury, he's got the shoulder injury. He's gonna start here,
Speaker 1: but if he's as errant as he was in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter last Sunday, he won't finish the game. And
Speaker 1: so I'm baking that into his seat. Gray here working
Speaker 1: in Garoppolo's favor is an inconsistent Packers secondary, throwing out
Speaker 1: that Arctic Vikings game against Sean Mannion and a meaningless
Speaker 1: Week A team game. The Packers have allowed multiple touchdowns
Speaker 1: in five straight games, multiple passing touchdowns in five straight games,
Speaker 1: and over that stretch, quarterback savaging two sixty one yards
Speaker 1: two and a half touchdowns, and some of those games
Speaker 1: included Baker Mayfield hobbled bad shoulder, Tyler Huntley backup justin
Speaker 1: Field's rookie, and they were still getting things done. So
Speaker 1: if Garoppolo, I think Garoppolo has got b upside to him,
Speaker 1: but I'm giving him the sea with the injuries. Let's
Speaker 1: go over to the packer's side. Ryan, all right, I
Speaker 1: want to start with the running game. I'm giving Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones and a J. Dillon both C grades in this
Speaker 1: because of the likely split workload. Um Jones has enjoyed
Speaker 1: twenty days without contact and he should be near one
Speaker 1: percent health, and I give him the edge of the two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's practiced fully all week long. And Fred Warner probably
Speaker 1: he plays. If Fred Warner's out, you could elevate both
Speaker 1: of these guys to be grades because he's that essential
Speaker 1: as a run stopping tackler. He's fantastic, but got knocked
Speaker 1: out of last week's game. Says he's gonna play in
Speaker 1: a bad angle. But here's why you should show caution.
Speaker 1: Forty Niners finished sixth against the run, giving up seventy
Speaker 1: five yards per game. No runner his top fifty eight
Speaker 1: yards since way back in Week nine, and the and
Speaker 1: Zeke last week petered out at thirty one yards against
Speaker 1: these Niners. Through the second half of the season, San
Speaker 1: Francisco is giving up just three point four yards per carry,
Speaker 1: which would have made them number one on the season
Speaker 1: at three point four yards per carry. And again that's
Speaker 1: since the second half of the seasons unders a long
Speaker 1: sample size. Neither ball, neither guy caught the ball well
Speaker 1: in the earlier matchup. But for Jones especially, I'll note
Speaker 1: that there were some big receiving games against San Francisco
Speaker 1: over the course of this year, and Jones could help
Speaker 1: you out more that way. And again, I like Jones
Speaker 1: better than Dylon, but I'm keeping them both at a
Speaker 1: C grade because of all the factors I just mentioned.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Davante Adams gets an A.
Speaker 1: I know you're shocked by that. Um He runs from
Speaker 1: all parts of the field. He's a billion times better
Speaker 1: than any cornerback. He's going to see. The Niners make
Speaker 1: up for from excellent play from their safeties, particularly Jimmy Ward,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. It's about Adams, so he's an eight.
Speaker 1: I'm only giving a B grade to Aaron Rodgers because
Speaker 1: San Francisco has been a sneaky good past defense all year,
Speaker 1: and that includes humbling Dak Prescott last week. The average
Speaker 1: passing game against San Francisco is just two hundred eighteen
Speaker 1: yards and one point two touchdowns. That's it. And even
Speaker 1: if I pull back the scope on there on the
Speaker 1: Niners opponents to high level passers who have faced the
Speaker 1: Niners Russell Wilson twice, Kyler Murray, Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers in the first game, We're still
Speaker 1: only looking at two hundred forty yards and one and
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns per game, which is very close to
Speaker 1: the two to the yards and two touchdowns that Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers put up in the Week three matchup between these teams.
Speaker 1: It's quite a turnaround. Earlier in the season we were
Speaker 1: targeting the San Francisco secondary starting Richard. That's uh, that's changed.
Speaker 1: It has changed quite a bit. Um, So Rogers gets
Speaker 1: a B grade here. I kind of like Ellen Lazard
Speaker 1: is a sneaky play Um. He's getting almost the same
Speaker 1: playing time as Davante Adams. Mvs is out and with
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb returning, Lazard to lineup on the outside, which
Speaker 1: is good news from a matchup standpoint for him. He
Speaker 1: gets a sea. Randall Cobb is going to be on
Speaker 1: the field a lot, but he hasn't played since Week twelve,
Speaker 1: but when he got knocked out the game he got
Speaker 1: knocked out of he was sitting in like ninety five
Speaker 1: yards when he got knocked out of that game. I
Speaker 1: think he will have a fairly impactful game here. Um.
Speaker 1: Although on the season he had been a low volume guy,
Speaker 1: but I think he is startable with a C grade
Speaker 1: as well. And that wraps up San Francisco taking on
Speaker 1: Green Bay. No, Josiah Deguara, No, yeah, you play for
Speaker 1: play fer. There you go. Um, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, the Sunday matchups will break down
Speaker 1: the remaining two games, including the Rams taking on the
Speaker 1: Bucks in a game I believe will be an upset
Speaker 1: who We'll tell you about that when we come back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Breaking down now the Sunday matchups.
Speaker 1: So we begin in the A f C and our
Speaker 1: first the A f C game is Buffalo at Kansas City.
Speaker 1: This is a high flying affair with tons of Fantasy
Speaker 1: applications all over the field. Yeah and over under of
Speaker 1: fifty four points. Some recalling this like the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Basically like the winner of this game has a good
Speaker 1: shot to uh go all the way whether it shouldn't
Speaker 1: be a factor here. Forty degrees UH is the um
Speaker 1: expected temperature four mile power wins, so nothing to be
Speaker 1: worried about there. These teams did play in Week five
Speaker 1: in Kansas City Buffalo one thirty eight to twenty uh.
Speaker 1: Certainly worth noting that Chris Jones, UH, star defensive lineman
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, did not play in that game. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a big factor. The man's a menace. So
Speaker 1: he will be playing on Sunday, so that that should
Speaker 1: change things. But we'll still refer to that Week five
Speaker 1: game for sure in this matchup, starting with the Buffalo
Speaker 1: side and the run game. Devin Singletary UH just seven
Speaker 1: touches for twenty seven scoreless yards in Week five, But
Speaker 1: times have changed. We wanted this to be Zack Moss.
Speaker 1: You and I we were both big on the Zack's
Speaker 1: optimistic he'd have a year two bounce back, which some
Speaker 1: players do, some running backs would do. But what we've
Speaker 1: learned is if you don't have it by year two
Speaker 1: as a running back, you almost never get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm giving Singletary the a eight total touchdowns over his
Speaker 1: last five games. He played virtually every meaningful snap last week.
Speaker 1: I don't think Moss got in until the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: UM plus matchup for Singletary here. Kansas City has allowed
Speaker 1: more than four point six yards per carried to running backs,
Speaker 1: these second most receiving yards. So in a grade for
Speaker 1: Devin Sigletary, you'd think you'd give then the A grade
Speaker 1: to Stefan Diggs. But I'm not just a B for
Speaker 1: him five targets in Week five, just caught two for
Speaker 1: sixty nine scoreless yards. Uh. The Chiefs have allowed the
Speaker 1: fifth most wide receiver touchdowns this year, but the majority
Speaker 1: of those came earlier in the season. The secondary has
Speaker 1: solidified itself as the season war on. I will mention
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson and James Washington both scored against Kansas City
Speaker 1: last week, but that was pretty much under garbage time, UH,
Speaker 1: garbage time scenario. So just a B for Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1: And now for the rest of the wide receivers. It
Speaker 1: gets a little dicey. So Buffalo had thirty one dropbacks
Speaker 1: last week. Josh Allen, Uh, Gabe Davis saw twenty ran
Speaker 1: twenty routes. I'm sorry, Manny Sanders ran seventeen. Isaim Mackenzie
Speaker 1: ran twelve and Beasley ran nine. So I'm gonna break
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis and Manny Sanders into one category. Then Doc
Speaker 1: McKenzie Beasley, I'll give Davis and Sanders both to see here,
Speaker 1: people are liking Gabe Davis a little more than Manny Sanders.
Speaker 1: But Sanders had a good game last week. He scored
Speaker 1: twice in that that Week five matchup, So a C
Speaker 1: for both of those guys. Then when it comes to
Speaker 1: mackenzie and Beasley, Mackenzie is kind of usurped Beasley as
Speaker 1: the slot receiver. I got them both on the bench,
Speaker 1: so I mean you can there's salary here, Yeah, not
Speaker 1: enough volume. They're salaries savers in dfs. But uh, if
Speaker 1: I had to pick one out of go McKenzie cause
Speaker 1: he's getting more usage. But they're they're both on the
Speaker 1: bench salary saver, I would go John Jennings. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with you there. Or Dontrell Hilliard could be like a
Speaker 1: wide receiver three for the Titans. But anyway, we're talking
Speaker 1: to Buffalo Bills, and if we're talking the Bills, we
Speaker 1: certainly have to talk about Dawson Knox. Three catches, one
Speaker 1: seventeen yards and a touchdown in the Week five meeting.
Speaker 1: You also had six catches forty two yards and a
Speaker 1: touchdown to into the Chiefs in the last two year's
Speaker 1: a f C. Yeah, he had a great playoffs last year.
Speaker 1: UH Titans have the average to five catches fifty two
Speaker 1: yards against Kansas City. So Knox has a fairly safe
Speaker 1: PPR floor with a very high ceiling. And give a
Speaker 1: B here borderline A but but just a B because
Speaker 1: I think it's more about Devin Singletary this week, and
Speaker 1: of course Josh Allen who had three d and fifteen yards,
Speaker 1: three passing touchdowns, fifty nine rushing yards and a rushing
Speaker 1: touchdown in the Week five matchup. I did mention that
Speaker 1: Chris Jones was not playing in that game. That will
Speaker 1: change things a little bit on the Kansas City defensive side,
Speaker 1: but still an easy A for Josh Allen Kanzi. Kansas
Speaker 1: City surrendered the second most Fantasy points to quarterbacks this year,
Speaker 1: along with the sixth most quarterback rushing yards and the
Speaker 1: most quarterback rushing touchdowns, so stars are aligned pretty well
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen this one. He gets the A okay
Speaker 1: over the Kansas City side, and of course we're gonna
Speaker 1: start with Jerich McKinnon. Yeah, obviously I did not see
Speaker 1: that comm not no one really did. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: him a b here. Clyde Clyde Edwards layer UH is
Speaker 1: set to make his return with the shoulder from the
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, but I'd still bet on Jet to lead
Speaker 1: this backfield on Sunday night. He looks great. Last week,
Speaker 1: UH fresh legs were It was a real story of
Speaker 1: last week's playoffs. You know, the guy like Cam Akers
Speaker 1: coming in fresh. The fresh legs made a big difference. Wow,
Speaker 1: there's a huge factor. This is a tough match up
Speaker 1: though the Bills have. The Bills are allowing just one
Speaker 1: sixteen combo yards rushing in receiving per game to opposing
Speaker 1: running backs. That's not great. We do expect c H
Speaker 1: to steal some touches. It's it's crazy to say H
Speaker 1: steal some touches, but that's what we're at. And then
Speaker 1: there's Darryll william See, this is why I wouldn't give
Speaker 1: anybody a b is I. I think this could just
Speaker 1: be a really muddy rotation. Williams. I feel like he
Speaker 1: suffered a setback last week with that toe injury because
Speaker 1: he was set to start, people were banking on him
Speaker 1: to play, and then he had like saw seven snaps
Speaker 1: something like that. So I got Williams on the bench
Speaker 1: for sure, and and Clyde Edwards layer. We gotta see
Speaker 1: what we had there. I might be little being little
Speaker 1: generous with McKinnon and the B, but it's uh, I
Speaker 1: give him the B because it's a really tough matchup
Speaker 1: for the past catchers for Kansas City. And even though
Speaker 1: I just said that, I am gonna give Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: and a still six catches, fifty seven yards and a
Speaker 1: touchdown in the Week five meeting. The Bills have allowed
Speaker 1: the second fewest catches and touchdowns and tight ends this
Speaker 1: year though. But Travis Kelsey not your typical tight end hunter.
Speaker 1: Henry should have scored a touchdown Buffalo last week. That
Speaker 1: was a brutal drop, but again that was garbage time
Speaker 1: but on paper, not not a great matchup for Kelsey.
Speaker 1: But uh, I struggled to not give him an A
Speaker 1: here because he's Travis Kelsey, but uh not struggling to
Speaker 1: give Tyreek kill in a just a B for him.
Speaker 1: Seven catches, sixty three yards, no touchdown in Week five
Speaker 1: and despite losing trade as White All Pro cornerback as
Speaker 1: White midway through the season. The Bills have allowed the
Speaker 1: fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns wide receivers and buy a
Speaker 1: wide margin six wide receiver touchdowns all year. The next
Speaker 1: worst team or best team allowed ten touchdowns. That was
Speaker 1: the Eagles the h The Bills have allowed three hundred
Speaker 1: fewer yards then the next best team, worst team, whichever
Speaker 1: you want to put it. Just in a awful magic
Speaker 1: if you're doing well, if if you're doing something really good,
Speaker 1: your best right right, and you're number one, you should
Speaker 1: your ranking for anything good should be one. Anything bad
Speaker 1: should be thirty two. But I'm talking in terms of
Speaker 1: the player the wide receiver though, so it's tough to
Speaker 1: delineate that. But I understand we all we all know
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. So just to be for
Speaker 1: Hill and per usual, the rest of the Cheaps wide receivers,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a it's kind of a mess. Uh,
Speaker 1: We're really gonna talk Byron Pringle and Nicole Hardman, though
Speaker 1: canna give him both a C. I only expect one
Speaker 1: to give you that C level production. Though both have
Speaker 1: total fift team targets over the last two weeks. Pringle
Speaker 1: scored twice last week, so he's likely the more popular
Speaker 1: df US play. If you want to pivot, you go hardman.
Speaker 1: I will mention that DeMarcus Robinson did run the second
Speaker 1: most pass routes among Chiefs wide receivers last week, behind
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, but that was pretty much in another garbage
Speaker 1: time situation with the Chiefs just rolling the Steelers. So
Speaker 1: I got Robinson on the bench. And of course we
Speaker 1: have to talk Patrick Mahomes last but not least two
Speaker 1: seventy two yards two touchdowns in Week five. He added
Speaker 1: sixty one rushing yards in that game. But uh, I've
Speaker 1: already alluded to this. It's a brutal matchup on paper.
Speaker 1: For the past game, the Bills allowed just twelve passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: In the regular season, only three quarterbacks managed to throw
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. One of those quarterbacks was Mahomes none through
Speaker 1: for three and most games the Bills surrendered zero passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Just an amazing defense, and without tradevious White is something
Speaker 1: to be said. Mac Jones did have two passing touchdowns
Speaker 1: against Buffalo last week, but that was garbage time. But uh,
Speaker 1: you can't give Mahomes ending worson to b right. Yeahs
Speaker 1: beas right, but not not in a I mean he
Speaker 1: could hit that. I'd rather start Josh Allen than Patton.
Speaker 1: They're probably priced similarly in DFS. Yeah, alan Is is
Speaker 1: the highest price, and he'd probably be more roster than
Speaker 1: Mahomes despite being a probably salary. But probably he's got
Speaker 1: the rushing upside right. So his over under Vegas prop
Speaker 1: line is forty nine and a half on Josh Allen
Speaker 1: rushing yards. I'd go over its electric is that offense
Speaker 1: is the Bills don't want to shootout in this game.
Speaker 1: They want the Chiefs off the field. They want to
Speaker 1: control of the clock. You can do that, quarterback. You
Speaker 1: certainly can with Josh Allen Rams taking on the Bucks.
Speaker 1: That is the earlier game on Sunday. Uh. These seems
Speaker 1: played in Week three, Bucks one by ten points. I
Speaker 1: do not believe the Bucks are gonna win this game.
Speaker 1: Let's start on the ramp side, and so just keep
Speaker 1: that in mind that I've got a little bit of
Speaker 1: bias here on how I think this game is going
Speaker 1: to go. So I'm gonna start with running backs. Cam
Speaker 1: Akers stunned us with thirty two snaps last week. Leading
Speaker 1: the team. The burst, the energy, the fresh legs. All
Speaker 1: looked great. Now this is a much tougher matchup against
Speaker 1: an elite run defense. Only one runner his top seventy
Speaker 1: eight yards against Tampa, they allowed three point nine yards
Speaker 1: per carry on the year. They completely shut down Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders last week, holding him to sixteen rushing yards. Where
Speaker 1: cam Akers can be impactful those through the air. Tampa
Speaker 1: allows the third most running back receptions the fourth most
Speaker 1: running back receiving yards. In the two games he's played
Speaker 1: this year, cam Akers, he's had a three catch game
Speaker 1: and a forty yard receiving game. On that one, it
Speaker 1: was the Odell Beckham uh throw catching so that one
Speaker 1: tackle broken tackle at him, taken to the house. So
Speaker 1: I like, I like cam Akers, but no way does
Speaker 1: he have a upside. I'm giving him a B on
Speaker 1: the assumption he ends up chipping in some help through
Speaker 1: the air. Um. I. I also think it's totally bench
Speaker 1: time for for Sony Michelle. Um. He hasn't been great. Honestly,
Speaker 1: he had a dismal game in the Week three matchup.
Speaker 1: He turned to twenty carries into a meager sixties seven yards. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I I just you know he got moved past
Speaker 1: Acres last week. I don't I don't think I want
Speaker 1: to start Sony Michelle in this game with you. Darryl
Speaker 1: Henderson got designated to return from i R on Friday,
Speaker 1: but he is not expected to play in this game,
Speaker 1: although he may be active for the game, but probably
Speaker 1: does not see the field unless somebody gets hurt or
Speaker 1: something unusual happens. Like that, So much for Jake Funk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Jake Funk. Those two snaps are enjoyable for the punt.
Speaker 1: Remember those, by the way, I think they were both
Speaker 1: in this matchup in in week three. So let's go
Speaker 1: to Let's go to the passing game now, Cooper cups
Speaker 1: and obviously, and especially with slot cornerback Sean Murphy Bunting
Speaker 1: dealing with a hamstring, we don't even alwa his status
Speaker 1: for Sunday. But even if he does go, he's been bad.
Speaker 1: He's allowed sick sixty two yards per game in his coverage.
Speaker 1: That is second worst among all defenders who have played
Speaker 1: at least half a season. So a disastrous run for
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy Bunting to the point they almost hope he
Speaker 1: does go now if he doesn't go, like last week
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield, their safety played out of position to guard
Speaker 1: the slot, and he allowed all four catches in his
Speaker 1: coverage or all four passes in his coverage to be completed.
Speaker 1: Can I interject for a quick, relax amazing wide receiver
Speaker 1: talent in his divisional round? Seven of the top ten
Speaker 1: scoring wide receivers Fantasy Cooper Cup, Deebo, Samuel Jamar, Chase
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Mike Evans, Tyreek Kills, Stefan dis Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Slot wide receivers with have had good games against Tampa.
Speaker 1: Just I just if I limit the scope here since December.
Speaker 1: Recently Braxen Barrios, Cold Beasley, Russell Gage all had good games,
Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup put up ninety six yards and two
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the earlier meeting. Let's go to Odell back
Speaker 1: him very impact the last week with the fifty four
Speaker 1: yards in the score, But you're banking on touchdowns because
Speaker 1: he's been a reliably low volume receiver and he's failed
Speaker 1: to hit fifty four yards in six of the past
Speaker 1: seven games. Fortunately, he has scored in six of the
Speaker 1: past eight games, so he's a touchdown dependent receiver. He
Speaker 1: lines up on the left left most often, and that
Speaker 1: will put him on Jamal Dean. Jamal Dean the bucks
Speaker 1: best cornerback. Dean is big and physical like oh b J.
Speaker 1: Dean's allowing just twenty one yards per game and his
Speaker 1: coverage and hasn't given up a score since Week one,
Speaker 1: and so I I have a B grade on Beckham,
Speaker 1: but really you're counting on a touchdown here. I think
Speaker 1: he can get it uh in a game that I
Speaker 1: believe the Rams will win and play well in. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Let's go to some of the other receivers.
Speaker 1: I have a bench grade on Van Jefferson because of
Speaker 1: the frustratingly low volume. Two or fewer catches and five
Speaker 1: of the last six. That's not gonna cut it. Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee gets to see Bucks maybe without Lavante David, who
Speaker 1: frequently picks up tight ends in coverage. Hig Be scored
Speaker 1: in the Week three matchup, but his volume is always low.
Speaker 1: Tampa has been a good tight end defense on the
Speaker 1: whole for the season. CE grade and Tyler Higby in
Speaker 1: this game. And that brings us to Matthew Stafford. I've
Speaker 1: given out A b's and c's. I'm giving out A
Speaker 1: to Stafford and hopefully, Brian, we could just bury that
Speaker 1: moronic line of reason. That's well, he's a law and
Speaker 1: so you can't win a playoff game. Well he just did,
Speaker 1: so shut up. Six of the past seven games have
Speaker 1: been very strong fantasy games for him. And really it
Speaker 1: goes back farther if you it goes really when I
Speaker 1: say six the past seven games, So I'm going back
Speaker 1: seven games. Basically, we're we're going back to when Robert
Speaker 1: Woods went down and they were trying to integrate Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham back into the offense. Really on the whole outside
Speaker 1: of that that those couple of weeks when the Woods
Speaker 1: to Beckham transition was happening, Stafford has been a really
Speaker 1: good fantasy product. Do you know where Matthew Stafford was
Speaker 1: born and raised? Hampa, Florida. I had no idea. Wow,
Speaker 1: So it's a homecoming of sorts for for or Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: That's outstanding. Um. He threw for three forty three yards
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns in the earlier matchup. I take it back, real, hook,
Speaker 1: I'm much if he was raised that everything was born
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. I'm reading anyway, thank you. Tampa Bay's
Speaker 1: past defense looks great. On paper. If you're gonna take
Speaker 1: one thing away from this matchup, it's this. Listen to
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks Tampa has faced in the last five games.
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, who they lost to Sam Donald and Cam
Speaker 1: Newton is a combo platter. Then they saw Zack Wilson,
Speaker 1: then they saw Sam Donald again. Then last week Jalen hurts.
Speaker 1: They haven't seen a legitimate passer since Thanksgiving. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be a shock to the system when they see
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford in the Rams, Sam Donald, Cam Newton. That's
Speaker 1: that's a poop poop platder right there. That really is
Speaker 1: all r Let's go to the Tampa side, which won't
Speaker 1: take quite as long. I don't think start with the
Speaker 1: running game here letter for Net practicing shaping up as
Speaker 1: a game time decision, but I don't like hamstring injuries
Speaker 1: on runners, and the prospect of a setback is a
Speaker 1: concern here. Even if he does play and start. Rams
Speaker 1: are also very good run defense, fourth best in yards
Speaker 1: per carriage just three point nine for Nets. Strongest hope
Speaker 1: for a good game is through the air, for sure.
Speaker 1: He averaged five catches for thirty two yards as a
Speaker 1: receiver this year and the Rams are just the middle
Speaker 1: of the pack defense against receiving backs. For Net got
Speaker 1: three catches for twenty six yards in the first matchup,
Speaker 1: but get this, in that earlier matchup week week three,
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard nine catches fifty one yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: M and Bernard will be available in this game. I
Speaker 1: still think four Nett would get that usage before Bernard would.
Speaker 1: But you could throw a dart on Bernard. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have still have a bench grade on him, but
Speaker 1: that's part of the C grade I've got him for
Speaker 1: Net is because I do expect him to catch and
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not mowing your lawng here. But major
Speaker 1: issues on the tan the Bay offensive. Yeah, in fact,
Speaker 1: let me mention that, let's get to that right. So
Speaker 1: they may be missing left tackle Tristan Worths in center
Speaker 1: Ryan Jensen. That's those are big losses for sure. Josh
Speaker 1: Wells who came in for worth and it didn't look
Speaker 1: very good. No, he's questionable. So whoever's backing him up,
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's gonna be. Like a garbage can,
Speaker 1: and that guy's got to stop Aaron Donald and Tristan
Speaker 1: Worf's if it's him playing hurt or his backup has
Speaker 1: got to try to stop von Miller, right, So that's
Speaker 1: part of what worries me about this game. Brashott Perriman
Speaker 1: has all been but ruled out of this game as
Speaker 1: we're talking about injuries, and Ronald Jones will not go
Speaker 1: on this one. And by the way, Keyshawn Vaughan stinks,
Speaker 1: so let's not even go there, all right, So let's
Speaker 1: go to the passing game for Tom Brady. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start with Brady. The Rams secondary is a Jekyl and
Speaker 1: Hide operation that hammered Russell Wilson, Tyler hunt Huntley and
Speaker 1: last week uh Jalen Hurts, but has also given up
Speaker 1: three hundred yard games to Kyler Murray, kirk Cousin, Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Brady much closer to that group and talent, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot working against Brady. So the offensive line injuries
Speaker 1: are a huge factor. The limited success of the running
Speaker 1: game could be what holds him down. Mike Evans not
Speaker 1: fully healthy. He's also going to get a lot of
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. We'll talk about that in a minute. And really,
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about starting Tom Brady, you're paying for
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and DFS. Ask yourself this. If Mike Evans
Speaker 1: plays to his over under of seventy yards and Gronk
Speaker 1: plays to his over under sixty six yards, Okay, there's
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty six yards. Where is any other
Speaker 1: yards coming from? Tyler Johnson? Brady hates he does, he
Speaker 1: hates him, Scotty Miller, cam Brad. I mean, those guys
Speaker 1: aren't gonna beat teams. So I'm nervous about Brady here,
Speaker 1: and I've only got the B grade on Brady in
Speaker 1: this game. I'm gonna be pissed if Scotty Miller scores
Speaker 1: twice because there was a plus like twelve thousand bet
Speaker 1: Voice last week, and I was like, I can spend
Speaker 1: ten dollars in a worse way than that, but I
Speaker 1: didn't hit. Of course, watch it happened though. Now Mike
Speaker 1: Evans so Brown and Godwin's out. So when these teams
Speaker 1: played each other back in week three, Jalen Ramsey went
Speaker 1: between Evans Brown and Godwin Brown and got on out
Speaker 1: of the team. So we're gonna see a lot of
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey on Mike Evans. Brown is not even on
Speaker 1: the planet. Anymore that could be. Since Week seven, the
Speaker 1: average game against Ramsey is thirty three scoreless yards per game.
Speaker 1: That's it. He's back. Fortunately, Evans does move around the
Speaker 1: field a lot, and if he goes into the slot
Speaker 1: he can shake Ramsey to some degree. In the Week
Speaker 1: three matchup, they targeted Evans ten times, but only two
Speaker 1: of those were against Ramsey. He got one catch for
Speaker 1: ten yards against Ramsey in the earlier meeting. So I've
Speaker 1: just got the B grade and Evans. They have to
Speaker 1: throw to him. There's gonna be a ton of volume,
Speaker 1: but I don't know how successful it's going to be
Speaker 1: with Ramsey on him the whole game. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, the other receiver UK are about in this offense.
Speaker 1: Three games without Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin has yielded
Speaker 1: an average of six catches for ninety four yards. He
Speaker 1: has scored once in those three games. Last week, only
Speaker 1: two tight ends had six receptions against the Rams this year.
Speaker 1: It was Mark Andrews and t. J. Hockenson, and they
Speaker 1: went for eighty nine yards and forty eight yards. Neither
Speaker 1: of them scored. I think just Grons got to get
Speaker 1: the ball because you don't have a choice. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: How did we talk longer this week on four games
Speaker 1: and we did last week on six? A lot of
Speaker 1: good players. Man, do we like hearing the sound of
Speaker 1: our own voices? Geez? At least we got plenty of
Speaker 1: notes for next week. We've got it all all the
Speaker 1: just do the games next week. We're gonna go fifty
Speaker 1: minutes on two games next week, I hope not. I think,
Speaker 1: who do you think who's going to be playing in
Speaker 1: these games? Winning? Yeah? Well who'll be playing? Who are
Speaker 1: the two? Who are the what's the matchup? Okay? Talking
Speaker 1: about next week? I think, uh, since he Pusley upset
Speaker 1: and I guess, but Buffalo since he yea, since he's
Speaker 1: under and is Buffalo pretty much a pick him? Now?
Speaker 1: I think it's three. I like both road teams for
Speaker 1: the a f C. I like the Rams like you do, uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta go with the Packers. But I
Speaker 1: won't say this as a former Giants fan. I did
Speaker 1: go down in season when the Packers were a one
Speaker 1: seed on there by no one gave the Giants a
Speaker 1: shot in hell beat Green Bay in that game, and
Speaker 1: they did, so I didn't think it happened, but unlikely.
Speaker 1: Just you know, what if if the if the Niners
Speaker 1: just hadn't had haven't endured and overcome so much, I
Speaker 1: would like them more in this game. I just worried
Speaker 1: the tank's empty. Debo's gotta throw on run one catch too,
Speaker 1: don't forget to return. Maybe you put him a corner
Speaker 1: pick six. It could be. Are they just unleashed Tray Lance?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Well, you know, wouldn't that be funny if
Speaker 1: they did have some design? Trey Lance plays in this
Speaker 1: just as a wild card. It's a good defense Tove
Speaker 1: tried against. You could all right, thank you for all
Speaker 1: your helping this one problem. Well, who do you got
Speaker 1: in the a f C? Real quick? I know you
Speaker 1: like the Rams and I got Buffalo. I feel more
Speaker 1: strongly about Buffalo winning, and I believe it'll be Tennessee.
Speaker 1: So I go Buffalo Tennessee, and I will go Rams
Speaker 1: and Packers. I think that that Titans Bengals game is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good one. Should be. Yeah, I actually
Speaker 1: really all of them are gonna be. What's the biggest
Speaker 1: The biggest spread on any of them, I think is
Speaker 1: San Francisco Green Bay at five and a half Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that biggest spread three and a half. These
Speaker 1: should be good close games. We deserve it. Thanks for everybody,
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. Fantasy Football Weekly is
