Paul Charchy in here my co 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.600 host today, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hey, 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.000 how's it going. Good morning. It's going great as a 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.679 matter of fact, because it's the playoffs. It's winning in now, 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.640 winning in it's it's it's win and win and continue. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.000 Can you make it in the Church League? Number one seed? What? 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.640 You don't want? A bragger? But I don't know. There's 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.800 like some sort of bird noise that we could play 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.640 for something like that. But I know you probably have 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.600 to pull it up. I'll pull it up. Pull it up. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.960 That's good, that's actually quite good. I've been really practicing 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.560 at home. You know. I as a rule, I don't 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.640 talk about my teams, and we don't talk about our 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:16.080 own teams here. Um. But I followed my own preseason advice, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.360 like I banked heavily on chiefs um And and I 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.240 just I loved Sae Kwon Barkley. He was my number 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.800 two ranked running back in the preseason. You don't always 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.720 get the one seed in the Church League. You can 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.560 revel in this one yeah, so I feel good about it. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.239 But there's no bye week in the charch, oh my gosh, 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.480 and so I gotta play this week and my Chiefs 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.560 have got to have got the tough match up with 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.400 the Ravens. So uh, there's I could very well be 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.840 bounced in this one. Speaking of teams that are getting bounced, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.680 one seed is getting bounced. You know who's gonna bounce them. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.040 It's Derrick Henry because Derrick Henry is on is on 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.520 these bottom Derrick Henry is on these bottom seeded teams. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.359 Mostly they didn't get in right, mostly didn't get in 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.600 with Henry. But if you did get in, you're a 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.960 sixth seed or an eight seed, right, and and you're 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.720 in and you're starting Henry. It's it's not a lot 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.200 of them, but it's that's the scenario where it happens. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.799 And those guys are going up against one seeds, it's 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.839 gonna there's gonna be some Derrick Henry bouncing. I don't 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.400 think anybody had Derrick Henry in their lineup. In fact, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.079 I looked it up on Fanball for our Thursday through 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:26.799 Monday slate one. But that's DFS. That's different. But how 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.880 many people were A in the playoffs, and B had 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.120 nothing else that they could play. But Derrick Henry going 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.839 up against a Jaguars defense that was really really good 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.840 and gave up zero points last week. There there there's 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.280 no reason. It was totally unexplicable, but you had you 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.720 should have played Henry at all. It was. It was 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.480 a sheer desperation play if anybody did play him. But 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.080 I asked for screenshots on Twitter at Paul Charchy and 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.600 lots I got lots of screenshots of people proving that, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.080 you know, showing me the live scoring that that proves 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.160 they had him. So Derrick Henry was out there. I know. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.800 I'm tempted to talk about what to do if you 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.240 went against him, but mostly people didn't. And you know, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.160 I think you already know the answer to that to 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.480 some degree. Anyway, your your high risk, high reward players, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.680 pour one out for a good season. Really yeah, right, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.360 you're you're probably you're almost certainly cooked. If you can 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.280 come back, if you can, if you can beat Derrick Henry, 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.760 that would be awfully impressive one to remember. All right, 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.320 let's let's dive into uh dive into the show. You 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.359 know the bit we're still continuing with take a chance 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.600 on me, because there are still even though it's the playoffs, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.679 there are still people that have to find help, especially 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.200 at the running back position. With everything that's happened, Uh, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.520 we'll still have three hot questions, will still lightning round. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.960 We're gonna break down fifteen different matchups, beginning with what 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.239 should be an epically high scoring game Atlanta at Green 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.919 Bay Scott. I see a ton of points coming in 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.719 this one, and I think that I think the Packers 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.840 are going to uh gonna write the ship a little 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.120 bit here. What do you think? Yeah? I think so too, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.480 especially especially because that Atlanta team is really bad. It's quarterbacks. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.480 I think their second worst than the season. But I'm 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.280 gonna start with the Atlanta side. Uh. Matt Ryan's been 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.880 pretty streaky as of late, but he did face like 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.120 New Orleans and New Orleans, Dallas and uh, I think 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.840 the other one was Baltimore. Baltimore and Dallas have been 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:14.080 pretty tough recently, so um he has three hundred plus 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.440 and five of his last seven. His touchdowns all over 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.440 the map. As I was kind of mentioning, But the 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.320 pack Uh, they have a lot of multiple touchdowns passes 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.159 to nearly every decent quarterback this year. Right, So I 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:25.880 like this a lot from Ryan, and you mentioned the 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.000 high scoring aspect. I just want to touch on that. Uh. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.120 The line was originally forty eight. It's already up to 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.760 fifty and a half. It's moving on up. So Julio 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.760 was an obvious a for me. The last two times 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.440 he faced the Packers were just giant two hundred plus 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.680 and one eight yard games, touchdowns in both uh nine 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.400 catches eleven, just huge games, so obviously they're Ridley is 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.200 kind of a dart throw for me. He's man since 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.320 his early season explosion. He's only top scored twice and 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.520 only top fifty yards twice. In those two games where 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.840 he hit fifty plus and scored, it took nine targets 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.919 and thirteen targets. I don't know that he gets that 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.080 in this one, but he's kind of a dart throw 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.400 because it could be a really high scoring affair. A 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.279 very soft Sea grade on him. Uh C grade on 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.480 Hooper twyna and targets over the last four games is promising. 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.160 Uh it's a resulted in two scores, but he's averaging 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.520 less than forty yards in those games, so a little 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.479 bit of PPR upside. Every tight end with seven or 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.039 more targets against the Packers had sixty plus yards. I 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.640 don't know that he gets to seven targets. Yeah, dot Hooper, 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.640 I had him with a soft Sea grade. I don't 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.960 love him in this one, but I could be persuaded 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.320 to a bench grade. Honestly, But yeah, tight ends the 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.960 way they are this year, I give a C grade. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.760 I have Coleman and Edo on the bench, even in 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.279 a high scoring affair. Tevin Coleman has had four yards 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.040 per carry or less in ten games this year. The 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.480 last two weeks fourteen carries for fourteen yards. I was 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.680 going to mention that it seems like about one point 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.960 zero yards per carry. Your your math skills are uncanny, right, 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.159 I didn't even use my calculator. Hey, can you try 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.560 this one, Keto Smith Over the last two games, eleven 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:08.159 carries for twenty two yards twice as good? Uh carry 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:13.760 the one track? Where did you get that advocate so fast? 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:17.160 And one nine? Oh you're so close? And it's only 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.240 averaging three point two yards per carry on the season. 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.320 I don't like them much at all. I think this 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.120 is gonna be a full passing game, so they split 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.800 just enough for me to bench both on the other sides. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.520 I got a lot of A grades here. I almost 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.160 want to say Rogers, Adams, and Aaron Jones are so 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.600 obvious I don't need to mention them. But I'm just 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.400 gonna say that Falcons are second worst against fantasy quarterbacks 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.880 this year. Uh. I think that with McCarthy gone, they 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.200 might want on Rogers might want to on load a bit. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.800 Aaron Jones, He's been so good, scored in four straight 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:53.880 games with six touchdowns in those games. Davonte Adams, I mean, yeah, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.920 those are all A grades. I don't even want to 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.880 waste my time, on our time on that. So Jimmy Graham, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.800 I'm giving a C grade here. Uh. We had concerned, 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.840 but when he broke his thumb, he had a kind 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.960 of a matt outing against the Vikings. But last week 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.200 he reeled in eight of eleven targets. Atlanta has allowed 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.160 fifty plus two tight ends in three the last five. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.080 I think, I think this is what Graham does this week, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.880 especially in a high schooling affair. I gave him a 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:20.040 SE grade. I've got Aaron Jones at running back for 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.200 Davante Adams at wide receiver. Three, and and Aaron Rodgers 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.240 at quarterback three. So you know, I'm fully all those guys. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.440 I spent like thirty seconds on them. That was almost 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.080 too much. That was almost too much. I think their 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.200 auto starts. All right, let's go. Let's go to another 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.080 guy who's normally an auto start, Andrew Luck, but got 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.200 shut out last week, and now he gets a good 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.160 Houston secondary. Do you like Andrew Luck going up against Houston? 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.920 Matt Oh, it's me with the Andrew Luck matchup high? 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.160 How's it? Yeah? Funny? You know it's always you chart. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.640 Guess what great I gave Andrew Luck this week? Um bench? 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:00.640 I gave him an A grade? What never ever on 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.720 the same page with Andrew Luck. In Week four, Andrew 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.600 Luck had four hundred sixty four yards and four touchdown 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.920 passes against the Texans defense. Since then, the Texans have 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.400 faced maybe the best group of quarterbacks ever, Dak Prescott, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.280 Nathan Peterman, Blake Bortles, brock Osweiler, case Keenum and then 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:24.079 they broke Alex Smith's leg. And then after breaking Alex 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.200 Smith's leg, they gave up three or three and two 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.720 to Marcus Mariota and three seven and one to Baker Mayfield, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.920 Andrew luck is going to have a good game. He's 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.000 back to an a start. He's gonna get right back 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.599 on it. Okay, yeah, he's no. You kind of you 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.680 kind of sold me a little bit. I've I have 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.959 him ranked twelve at the quarterback position. I've got a 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.840 B grade on QB one though it's QB one all right. 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.360 Uh t y Hilton, I'm given a B grade two. 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.000 He's top seventy seven yards and four straight and has 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.920 three games of a hundred and fifteen yards or more 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.640 in his last four meetings with the Texans, with three 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.440 touchdowns to go along with that. A shoulder injury had 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.520 him miss practice most of the week. He is a 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.160 game to time decision, but he did practice on Friday, 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.200 so I think Hilton's gonna go. Eric Ebron he gets 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.000 an A grade. He was sick earlier in the week 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.959 and he missed some practice time. He had sixteen targets 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.320 last week, and it's one of those rare occurrences when 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.160 two players are splitting a position and one goes down 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.160 that the other player actually gets all of the work. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.400 Eric Ebron is getting everything that Jack Doyle had, and 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.120 Houston is awful versus the tight end bottom eight rankings 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.880 and receptions, yards and scores to the tight end. I 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.880 love Ebron this week. I do a lot running games 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.400 on the bench. Though Mac only had eight carries, Hines 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.079 had four last week against the Jags, and that was 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.520 a Jags team that just got torched by Derrick Henry. Right. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.680 They couldn't get it going right and Derrick Henry ken Uh. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.840 So the Colts are on the bench for the running game. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.160 Over on the Texans side, Lamar Miller he gets a 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.040 C grade. The Colts haven't allowed a running back to 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.640 top eighty one yard since Week five. That's seven games, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.000 and in those seven games, only two running backs have 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.920 scored on the ground, and Miller had an underwhelming forty 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.559 nine yards in the first meeting on fifteen. Ari's Deshaun 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.720 Watson's getting a B grade. He had his first thirty 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.920 passing attempt outing since Week five. Charches probably excited about that. Yeah. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.200 Uh And the Colts guess what, they faced a very 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:18.480 similar schedule of quarterbacks. That's why they look good. It's ridiculous. Kessler, Tannehill, Gabbert, Bortles, 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.040 car Derek Anderson, and Sam Donald are the last seven 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.240 they faced. You can't. If I asked you to put 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.640 such string together the seven worst opposing quarterbacks in the NFL, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.120 you'd have the last seven teams the Colts of face. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.640 The a f C South got all the bad quarterbacks. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.200 So uh yeah, Watson had three seventy five, two through 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.080 the air and one on the ground in the first meeting, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.200 so he's a B grade. DeAndre Hopkins easy a last 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.360 six games against the Colts, he's averaging a hundred and 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.480 four yards. However, da Marius Thomas and Kiki Cutie, I 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.120 got them both on the bench. The Colts are top 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.880 ten in receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the wide 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.080 receiver position. Yeah, because they're facing Sam Donald and playing Gabbard, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.480 And yeah that's true. They've only allowed a hunt thirty 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.440 two yards in a score per game. And that's about 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.520 what DeAndre Hopkins should kit in this game. So there's 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.120 not a lot to go around for the rest of 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.679 the guy's son Leavin, Thomas and Cutie on the bench. Alright, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.760 final matchup of this the opening segment is uh at 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.720 one that should cause great consternation for Chiefs owners. It 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.599 is the Ravens versus the Chiefs. Let's start on the 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.600 Ravens side. Lamar Jackson gets a B grade. Over the 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.560 last three starts, he has scored the fourth most Fantasy 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.600 points among quarterbacks, despite the fact that Lamar Jackson has 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:36.320 thrown one touchdown. That tells you the power of rushing 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.240 when you are an extremely good rushing quarterback like Lamar Jackson. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.559 Um one of these weeks is gonna throw a couple 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.360 of touchdowns and just post a monster game. And it 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.920 could be this week considering that seven there's seven touchdowns 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.640 that the Chiefs defense has allowed over the last two weeks. 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.880 So maybe Lamar Jackson throws two here and he ends 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.600 up doing what he always does on the ground and 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.160 then monster week coming. But I think he's safely a 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.439 B grade no matter what, because the rushing almost insures 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.280 fifty six yards seems like an automatic and I don't 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.280 know how he falls below a B grade unless they 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.040 absolutely shut down the rushing. Fish and I were pondering 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.840 who which team might equal Derrick Henry's two thirty eight 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.880 rushing yards this week as a team as a team, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.480 and Baltimore was the one that kind of came to 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.320 be with Jackson and the gust Bush. They could who 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.839 was Guss I'll take that as my transition. This is 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.200 a B grade averaging twenty rushing attempts per game with 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.320 Lamar Jackson in the lineup. Uh, he doesn't catch me passes, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.640 so he's not gonna help you through the air. But 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.120 it doesn't matter. Posing backs of top eighty five rushing 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.880 yards and five of the last six against the Chiefs. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.839 So if you figure Gus is gonna go eighty five, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.280 maybe a hundred, then now I'll give you another hundred 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.520 plus ab Lamar Jackson. Then there's there's your Derrick Henry game. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.320 Yeah maybe that, maybe it comes together there. But there's 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.120 one other running back to start for the Ravens. There is. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.480 There is Tie Montgomery. Yeah, he posted five catches last week. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.439 And the Chiefs are allowing the most receiving yards to 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.520 running backs, the most re seeving touchdowns and running backs, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.400 and the third most receptions to running backs. If only 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.280 somebody would have told you to pick him up like 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:11.000 two weeks two weeks ago, and like a prematurely speculatory 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.240 kind of way. Oh yeah, that was a was a 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.079 matter of fact. Everybody else in the passing games on 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.160 the bench Brown, Crabtree, Snead all been a disaster under 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.680 Lamar Jackson. Combined, they have scored combined the three guys, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.560 they have one touchdown in the last five weeks. So 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.600 it's not even just Lamar Jackson. That's including a couple 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.560 of games with Joe Flacco in there. Get this, none 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.360 of top fifty eight yards in five weeks either. If 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.840 you had the ability to start all three Baltimore wide 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.320 receivers as one player, they still would you do it. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.840 They would together, they'd have a sea grade. Uh, let's 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.680 go to the Kansas City side, and this is the 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.400 area of consternation for fantasy owners. I still have an 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.680 A grade on Patrick Mahomes. You're going to start Mahomes, 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.640 Kelsey and Hill flat out going to start them. I 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.760 totally get it. But let's just talk about what they're 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.560 up against. Sense Jimmy Smith's returned from suspension way back 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.760 in Week five. The average quarterback line against the Ravens 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:11.920 one hundred nine five yards and one point four touchdowns. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.200 That's half of what we're used to getting from Patrick 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.000 Mahomes in any given game. The Ravens secondary doesn't have 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.760 any glaring areas to exploit their solid every place, so 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.680 I don't you know, you still have to start my 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.680 homes and nobody be surprised if he had a three 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.160 touchdown game here in three yards, but that would be 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.120 a total aberration against the Ravens. Let's go to the 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.880 other obvious place, Travis Kelsey obvious a. The tight end defense, though, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.600 was the only real weakness for the Ravens defense. They've 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.760 given up five touchdowns in the last six games to 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.120 tight ends. Kelsey is the safest play out of the 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.600 big name guys. Tyreek Hill B grade. This is an 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.400 excellent Baltimore secondary that's only a lot of four touchdowns 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.360 to wide receivers since Week two. Allow me to repeat 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.320 that four touchdowns to wide receivers since Week two for 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.520 the Rains. That's unbelievable. Uh. Tyreek Hill runs from all 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.600 over the field, but most commonly from the slot, where 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.040 he'll draw coverage from Ravens cornerback Brandon Carr, who's allowed 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.880 at least seventy six yards and two of his last 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.320 four games. So there's an angle there. Uh. We'll give 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.320 Tyreek Hill a B grade here. Chris Conley will likely 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.000 get to start with Watkins hurt, but it's a brutal matchup, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.400 and you're not gonna go all the way down to 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.960 Chris Connley. Here, let's talk about Spencer Wear. I know 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.760 everybody ran too the waiver wire to pick him up. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.720 He looked Mundane let Us two weeks ago, he looked 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.080 Mundane last week, and then he's got an elite Baltimore 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.280 run defense here, allowing just sixty five rushing yards per games, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.760 second lowest. They're giving up three point four yards per carry, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.000 also second lowest. Only one runner is top sixty four 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:45.040 yards since Week two against Baltimore. I really should have 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.960 where on the bench, but I'm giving him a C 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.080 grade just out of respect for the offense as a 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.240 whole and the fact that he would likely get any 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.840 goal line carries were any to become available. I it's 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:59.440 a tough, tough matchup for Spencer Wear. So look, line 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.680 short of it is, Chiefs powered you into the playoffs. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.520 There's no guarantee that you're gonna continue. They could power 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:09.960 you right out of the Yes we did. Um, we'll 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.680 take a break when we come back. Plenty more matchups 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.240 to get to, including New England taking on Miami Patriots. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.800 Inexplicably always struggle in this situation. We'll tell you what 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.560 to expect from Tom Brady, his receivers, and especially the 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.520 various running backs of the Patriots when we come back. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.760 This is Fantasy Football Weekly, presented by green Bell Premium 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:52.000 on the fan Take a chance. I mean nine players 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.800 not normally in your starting line up, many of whom 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.760 are available on the waiver wire. We begin at the 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:01.520 quarterback position. Scott, we got uh well this week, I 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.640 got Jamis Winston. I think it's a great matchup for him. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.399 He has multiple touchdowns in three straight. And the Bucks, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.080 I don't know if you know this, They have the 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.399 most passing yards as a team in the end in 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:15.160 NFL history through which do you mean? They have the wait, 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.280 the defense has yielded the most. No. Buccaneers have passed 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.160 for the most yards him plus Fitzpatrick in NFL history 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.879 through Wow, I didn't know that they've actually been on 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.760 that street for a few weeks. And they've been. They've 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.800 benched their starting quarterbacks how many times this year? And 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.760 they're setting the all time NFL record in passing yards combined. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.760 They set a record in interceptions to the Saints have 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.280 allowed the second most passing yards this year allowed to 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.320 quarterbacks bucks will be thrown from behind. I think so Winston, 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.000 it's my quarterback, alright, Matt, I've got Baker Mayfield. The 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.520 Panthers defense has absolutely fallen apart over the last five weeks, 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.320 resulting in four losses for their team. They've allowed fourteen 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.679 passing touchdowns in that span and an average of two 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.520 seventy five yards per game. And since we through the 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.639 Freddie kitchen sink at Baker Mayfield, he's been pretty decent 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.359 multiple scores and five of his last six and the 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.440 sixth was last week when he only threw for one 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.280 touchdown but Tali three seven yards. I'm going with Josh 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.000 Allen against the Jets. And this is the same Josh 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:21.640 Allen who is the highest scoring quarterback in Fantasy football 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.679 over the last two weeks. It might have been my 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:28.840 tick on list. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Go ahead, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.440 look you earned it. He saw that he has more 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.600 top five finishes as a fantasy player per week than 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.199 Aaron Rodgers does this this year. I'm starting him in 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.080 the fantasy playoffs. Is my second quarterback and the homes 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.600 Josh Allen one of my leaks. Get this His two 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.960 hundred twenty four rushing yards the last two weeks is 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:52.840 topped by only four running backs. It's unbelievable when he's 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.080 bringing on the ground and it's a game against the Jets. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.680 So even if the legs don't help him, help you out, 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.760 the arm will. The Jets are allowed multiple passing touchdowns 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.440 and eight of the last nine games addition by subtraction 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.320 to get Calvin Benjamin off the field. So I like 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.040 Josh Allen on the ground through the air, he could 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.440 have another game. He could have another top yet another 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.600 in a series of well now to uh games since 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.520 the elbow injury. Coming back from the elbow injury with 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.280 a top performance, let's go to the running back position. Scott, 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.040 I need to apologize to our listeners out there because 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:25.960 I failed you last week. I had it in my 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.760 notes in the forty Niners matchup to tell you to 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.200 pick up Jeff Wilson. I did in all my leagues, 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.680 and I I failed our listeners. That's what I did. 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.120 Do you have It's just a app there's a definition 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.120 of a humble brag. Yeah it really is. You knew it, 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.000 but you didn't tell anybody failed to tell anybody. Uh, 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.560 but man does he has. He had twenty three touches 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.200 last week, turned into a hundred and thirty four yards 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.560 niners a plane from behind a lot. He had eight 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.560 catches for seventy three. Those eight receptions are the most 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.040
