Brian Dak Prescott has been dramatically 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.560 improved over the last month, especially from a fantasy standpoint, 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.160 and now he gets maybe his easiest matchup of the year. Yeah, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.679 multiple touchdown passes and three of his last six for 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.480 DAC and uh Samari Cooper thing is actually kind of 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.520 working out for Dallas and yeah, a great matchup for Dock. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.120 Like you said, since week two. Atlanta has allowed at 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.280 least three passing touchdowns in six of eight games. Uh. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.639 Eli and Alex Smith were the only two that failed 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.280 to record a hat trick. And I'll slow you down 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.280 on that. Yeah, we got hat tricks three touchdowns in 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.000 all but two games. So Dack's in a very good spot. 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.360 Also has a rushing touchdown and three of his last 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.760 four games. UH. And Atlanta is allowing more than twenty 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.079 rushing yards pretty game to quarterbacks. That's half a passing 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.920 touchdown right there at least, So Dak easy B borderline 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.680 A grade this week potential shootout over his past catchers. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.040 And Mark Cooper just mentioned him h. Atlanta has allowed 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.640 at least one wide receiver touchdown in eight straight games, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.040 multiple wide receiver touchdowns and half of those games. Uh. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.680 Cooper has eighteen targets so far in two games with Dallas, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.320 so they're using him plenty. So he's a safe B 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.240 in this game as well. I don't think i'd ever 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.960 see a Mark Cooper is a safe B, but I 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.919 just did it is early. Uh. The other wide receivers though, 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.040 called basilely Michael Gallup, Alan Hearns. UH. You would think 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.600 there'd be enough to go around for one of these guys, 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.120 but I have no idea who would be since Cooper 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.800 was acquired. Here's the target total in the two games 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.720 for these other guys. Gallop twelve, Beasley five, Perns three. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.880 Zeac has more targets than all those guys, so Gallup 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.160 would be the one, but they're all on the bench 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.240 for me Ei, they're all dart throws and as is, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.160 Jeff Swain made his return last week, played an eight 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.480 percent in the snaps. Not a great matchup for tight ends. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.080 And of course Zeke gets an a rolled up a 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.360 hundred and fifty plus and two touchdowns against a tough 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.440 Philly run d last week. Uh, if you've been playing 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.480 fantasy football the last few years, Atlanta is not a 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.120 tough rundy on the ground or through the air, so 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.000 particularly through the air, particularly through the air. All World 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.280 middle linebacker Dion Jones is back for Atlanta, which does matter, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.520 but Zeke still in a in a smash spot in 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.359 this game over to the Falcons. Julio and in a 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.920 easy a fastest player to ten thousand receiving yards in 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.080 NFL history passed Megatron last week. Pretty impressive. Dallas not 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.400 a great matchup for wide receivers. But the last comparable 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.559 wide out to face UH the Cowboys was DeAndre Hopkins, 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.600 who caught nine passes fred fifty one yards. So you're 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.880 starting Julio, barely starting Calvin Ridley and this one has 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.840 been held under fifty yards and four of his last 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.240 five games and has just one touchdown during that span. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.839 But this feels like a shootout, so Ridley gets a 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.360 soft seed for me and this one even though he's 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.760 kind of a boom robust option and uh mohammas, and 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.400 New has been hammered by a head injury, has been 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.800 playing through it. Saw a healthy eight targets last week, 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.000 caught six of them, but he's failed to top fifty 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.279 yards for the fourth straight game, hasn't scored in three 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.520 straight and again Dallas really controls the clock well, not 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.200 a ton of volume expected, but I'll give him a 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.600 soft seed two. But they're both Darth throws in my mind. 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.560 Austin Hooper, a little less of Darth throw, he'll get 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.479 a b Shawn Lee out for Dallas. That's huge. And 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.880 zach Ertz has went off for fourteen catches a hundred 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.279 forty five yards and two touch How about that Hooper 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.920 is no arts but uh, but Hooper has been shockingly 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.920 competent this year. Absolutely leads the land and red zone 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.039 targets and it's been targeted ten plus times in three 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.120 of his last five games. So he's in a great spot. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.599 And Matt Ryan easy and I can get into that 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.200 one has been absolutely amazing this year. I don't expect 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.960 him to be this good. Don't think anyone really did 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.720 coming off of down here last year. And then Tvin Coleman, 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.040 can I go be minus her charge? He heeds a minus? 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:43.000 Not at all? Yeah, you allow it. Dallas allowed him 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.080 just three and a half yards per carry and opposing 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.839 running backs have total just six touchdowns in nine games. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.600 But again, Shawn Lee is out. That is huge for Coleman. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.520 And he has really distanced himself from Edo Smith touch wise. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.000 So the volume play is there. So he's a safe 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:01.480 RV two play. We'll not safe base I save, Okay, 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.320 Carolina takes on Detroit Matt Um Cam Newton. Do you 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.560 want two touchdown passes? He's your guy? You want to 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.120 think more than two touchdown passes or less than two 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.640 touchdown passes. He's not your guy? Is he like the 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.480 Leroy Horde of quarterbacks. Yeah, really is. If you need 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.680 three touchdown passes, he'll get you two. You need one, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.640 he'll get you two. Okay, perfect. I still got him 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.080 as an A grade this week. Detroit has allowed multiple 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.839 passing scores in five of the last six. So Cam 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.920 Newton is gonna get too, I would I would say, right, yeah, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.480 including and they also gave up a rushing touchdown to 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.400 Mitch Trubisky last week, so that bodes well for Cam's 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.680 rushing ability. Christian McCaffrey also in A The Lions are 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.880 allowing a hundred and sixty five total yards per game 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.280 to the running back position. That all goes to McCaffrey. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.280 Greg Olsen, I'm giving a B grade two as well. Uh. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.320 Lions defense has allowed fifty plus yards or a score 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.120 two opponents tight ends in seven of the last eight games. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.400 And Olson, I mean, frankly, he's the top five tight 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.800 end in the league right now, just because we're out 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:07.000 of tighten it's he's by defaulty I'm number six, you are, Yeah, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.920 it's you know, the the in the worst year in 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.080 the history of me, in the twenty five years I've 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.560 been in this business, I've never seen any one position 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.920 is devastated as the tight end position this year from 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.160 a talented injury standpoint, and it always seems to get worse. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000 It seems like every other week we lose another guy. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.240 So because of that, I think next year it's more 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.160 than feasible that we see maybe Earth's and Kelsey as 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.520 first round picks. Yeah. I think, oh, it's not even close. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.080 He might be in that. He might be in that conversation, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.000 you know, and imagine, Well, doesn't Grons even it doesn't 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.000 even matter. Even if you don't, I don't think you'll 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.760 be there next year. But even if he did, who 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.440 how can you rely on Gronk at this point? You 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.960 can't know? Uh, you can't really rely on the Carolina 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.880 receivers either. In the last three weeks, no Carolina wide 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.720 receiver has top six targets in a game. Only one 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.160 has topped forty four yards. And last week Fun just 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.840 d J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and jerryus Right all had 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.960 either three or four catches, none of them scored, and 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.960 nobody topped thirty two yards. It's just an absolute mess 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.080 in the wide receiver position there. Over to the Lions side, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.200 carry On Johnson. I'm only giving a C grade to 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.040 this week. Over their last five games, the Panthers are 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.720 only yielding total yards per game to the running back position, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.880 that second fewest in the league over that span. Now, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.400 the bright spot is that carry On has had as 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.920 many catches as theoretic did last week, and he scored 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.560 a touchdown via the passing games, so he's getting closer 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.760 to Bell Cow status than he ever has been. Matthew Stafford, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.559 he's getting a B grade. Something has been exposed in 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.240 the Carolina defense in the past two games, as they 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:49.320 have allowed quarterbacks to throw touchdown passes nine times, nine times, 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.800 nine times. That's four and five touchdown passes in each 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.160 of the last two weeks against Carolina. Nicely, Marvin Jones 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.280 he's on the bench. He's out with a knee injury 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.360 this week. That means Kenny Golladay, he's really the only 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.040 wide receiver there. He gets a B grade. There's no 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.280 one left besides him and the other Jones, t J. Jones. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.080 After Marvin Jones went down with an injury last week, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.160 Golliday was targeted eight times in the final quarter of 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.480 the game, so he's on pace for thirty two targets 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:22.280 this week. No, No, eight times eight times. Shot it right. Sorry, 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.080 Now here's the problem was. You know, if there gets 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.560 to be a point where if you don't have enough 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.560 talent left at any position, in this case the receiver position, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.040 the defense just pounds that guy. We saw with Adam 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.760 Feeling when Stephan Diggs was out and the Viking's three 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.720 wide looked like the Kwan treadwell Aldrick Robinson on the 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.640 outside and and then Feeling on the inside and became 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.400 really easy to take Feeling out of the game plan. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.920 And I worry that's what's gonna happen to Golliday here. Well, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.440 Riddick is essentially there's a lot receiver Now I think 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.319 I think there is a lot of Riddick play for this, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.280 and I think Riddick and uh and Johnson are going 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.800 to get a ton of passes. You know, there's one 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.560 more guy that I want to mention who's kind of 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.560 a desperation. See start maybe a bonus take a chance 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.240 and makes me a tight end. But it is it's 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.040 Michael Roberts. He gets a C grade. Uh, you could 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.480 do worse than Roberts. He should see some opportunity with 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.160 Marvin Jones out and Carolina has allowed the most receptions, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.760 second most yards, and the most touchdowns to opposing tight 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.680 ends this season. So Michael Roberts kind of in a 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.840 good spot. If you're in the tight end waste land. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.439 He's a zombie. You could pick up, double check his status. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.720 Believe he will play, but um has been injured. He 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.000 might have missed last week's game or got knocked out 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.040 last week. It's Luke one L Wilson E L Wilson, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:40.280 my bed l l u k e no Wilson. Wouldn't 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.959 that be weird? It's like a Llama Luke. This is 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.680 why I'm at with one T, just to alleviate all 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.320 this stuff. Oh yeah, that doesn't cause any problems for anybody. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.640 That's all it does is alleviate problems. Well, I don't 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.840 know why you're Paul with two els. News to me, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.520 but I'll run with that. Knowing Matt's a long One 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.360 T is a norm to me. Now when I did it, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.760 I'm turning people around. I know to one teas. You're 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.160 not the only one, do you? Why even you introduced 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:10.960 me to this other one team? We need to like 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.240 get a one TA convention. You should have a one 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.240 tea convention. Houston takes on Washington, and I'll note once 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.440 again like I did last week, Washington's offensive line of disaster, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.160 star left tackle Trent Williams is going to miss another 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.520 game with thumb injuries. Uh and both of their guards 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.800 are on i R for the year. So you know 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.000 that does limit I think the upside of what Washington 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.920 can do here, and it's why Adrian Peterson's just a 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.520 C grade. Texans have limited opposing teams to less than 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.560 one hundred rushing yards in four of the past six games. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.000 They're a good run defense. Only run one runner has 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.720 hit twenty carries against the Texans this season. And when 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.840 Adrian doesn't get to twenty carries, when he has nineteen 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:56.280 or fewer carries, here's your average game. Fifty four yards, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.600 zero point three touchdowns. That's it. And that's why Adrian 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.920 is just to SEE grade. The only other startable player 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.960 for the Redskins is Jordan Reid. He posted a mediocre 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.880 fifty one yards in a primo matchup against the second 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.400 worst defense against tight ends last week in Tampa. We 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.400 talked about it last week. Is sort of a if 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.760 not when, if not then when and he still didn't 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.720 do much matchup here is not is not any better 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.600 than that, that's for sure. Even more depressing that fifty 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.000 one yards last week. That's his high water mark for 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.760 the last six games. Houston hasn't faced a team that 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.400 really utilizes the tight end in five straight games, and 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.440 despite that, the Texans still at Jeff Hireman go for 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.880 ten catches in their last week's game. So there's a 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.839 glimmer I hope for Jordan Read. Normally he'd be on 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.440 the bench, but I've got to see grade just because 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.640 at the position you pretty much have to start him. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.920 You mean top ten and tighten option, Jeff, Yes, that's right, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.680 it is. At this point, it is ridiculous. Everybody else 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.400 is on the bench, including the rest of the passing offense. Uh, 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.720 there's almost no talent at wide received where Alex Smith 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.800 has in top of one touchdown in a month, and 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.040 that was against far easier defenses like Tampa in Atlanta, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.560 and oddly enough, get this statistical oddity, Alex Smith has 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.960 thrown for exactly one hundred seventy eight yards in three 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.640 of his last four games. So let's go with a 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.040 hundred seventy eight yards. By the way, one seventy eight 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.000 yards sucks. That's a terrible number for a quarterback to 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.760 hit once a year, let alone three times in one month. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.160 On the Houston side of the ball, it's a much 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.040 more rosy outlook. Deshaun Watson gets an A grade from me. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.680 Bill O'Brien. I think was guarding him for the last 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.319 month because he had all these chests and rib injuries 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.400 and he was only throwing four twenty and twenty four 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.080 pass attempts. That's it. But now that he's healthy, after 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.240 the out of the bye week, I think I think 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.200 Watson stretches out with a lot more throws here close 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.760 to what Washington normally sees. Thirty eight is how many 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.280 passes Washington typically sees, and that kind of lack a 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.160 very good game for him. In Deshaun Watson's games with 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:09.240 thirty eight or more attempts, he averages three hundred seventy 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.800 eight passing yards and two touchdowns. And that's why Deshaun 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.719 Watson is a rock solid A for your fantasy team. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.880 I like his receivers as you can imagine. And it 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.760 goes without saying DeAndre Hopkins is an obvious A. Uh, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.280 but I'll note here Quintin Dunbar, the best coverage cornerback 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.320 for Washington, may not play in this game, and all 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.200 the more reason to like Hopkins. I also like to 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.680 Marry's Thomas, though with a B grade uh he goes 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.600 up predominantly against Josh Norman, super inconsistent, and the kinds 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.000 of guys that he struggles with are bigger, physical receivers 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:45.440 Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, hundred yard games primarily on Josh Norman. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.560 I think the physical Thomas has got a nice opportunity 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.880 against him, but we're not done with the passing game yet. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.960 Kiki Cutie limited with a hamstring injury and has a 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.960 chance of playing if he does go. Working out of 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.240 the slot, he draws inconsistent Redskins cornerback Fabian more Row. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.640 Moreau gave up one hundred yards last week in his 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.240 coverage and the week before that allowed to touchdown, So 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.680 if Kiki Qti goes you could start him in this game. Lastly, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.720 Lamar Miller C grade. Washington is a good run defense 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.280 and sometimes an awesome run defense. No runners topped eighty 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.440 yards all year, and they've only given up one rushing touchdown. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.920 In the last month of games of late, the Redskins 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.320 have been a bit more yielding, giving up a healthy 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.040 four point seven yards per carry over the last three games. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.240 Prior to that, they're giving up just three point nine. 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.720 So they are they've been a little bit easier. And 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.400 that's the only reason Lamar Miller is not on the 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.760 bench is that the Redskins have been a little easier lately. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.480 When we come back, take a chance on me. Nine 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.640 players not normally in your starting lineup will tell you 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.080 who they are and who you can start when we 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:53.640 come back. This is Fantasy green Bill Premium on the van. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.400 This sounds pretty innocuous right now. I could go for 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.240 I could do this. I feel like I'm riding a 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.400 horse through a meadow with your long locks flowing, my 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.480 golden locks, the locks, yes, flowing behind you. Just take chance. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.280 I mean, nine players not normally in your starting line 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.040 at Many of these guys are on the waiver wire. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.640 One of mine is definitely on the waiver wire. One 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.520 and a half mine are on the waiver wire. I 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.760 got a couple that are good. All right, go ahead, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.280 let's see here. You got starting at the quarterback position, Brian, 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.240 This guy is probably in the waiver wire. It's Eli 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.760 Manning in his last stand at home against the Bucks, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.640 because if he doesn't call are you calling this his 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.320 last game? It's gonna be if he doesn't come through, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.240 it's going to be uh loud that Kyle, what the time? 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.600 If Eli can't come through against the Bucks in Tampa 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.440 Bay road games, UH teams are averaging seventy combined points 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.760 in the five road games the Bucks have played so far, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.920 Opposing quarterbacks have totaled sixteen touchdowns. That's more than three 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.760 per game. And this is, like I said, this is 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.040 basically it for Eli. All his weapons are healthy, so 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.560 let's go old man. Yea, I feel like I gotta 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.200 unbuttoned like a couple of buttons on my shirt because 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.480 of the horse riding. Yeah, it's not quite as disco 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.479 as that, though. This is more like musical star Stream. 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.680 It's from the eighties. I'm just thinking to get get 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.119 the pecks out there, like Fabio, Like, honestly, all, wow, 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.320 maybe your chest hair is flowing in the wind in 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.000 this scenario. Yeah, I like how we we went with 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.240 singular chest hair to Matt has pecks. There's a unicorn 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:44.480 in the corner right exactly with Matt's pecks. Uh. Speaking 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.640 of unicorns, I got big game Blake Bortles. Wow, yeah, 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.960 that is like finding unicorn. I can find one of 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:57.280 Blake portals. No, no, but Blake Bortles has played to 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.439 count them too, really good teams this year. That was 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.600 Kansas City and that was New England. And in those 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.600 two games he put up four yards in a touchdown 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.560 and three seventy seven and four touchdowns respectively. And the 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.920 Steelers are a really good team as well, and the 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.320 Jags have a history with them. It will be emotional. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.959 The Steelers have allowed multiple touchdowns and three of their 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.680 last four games. But let's not talk about what Bortles 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.399 did against the Steelers last year because it was hot 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:30.200 guard bort lige yards in his first meeting to fourteen 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.040 and one in the second meeting, and there was a 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.119 playoff win. That was a playoff win. They were both wins, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.440 both big wins. I don't know he's gonna He's gonna 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.639 do great, it's gonna I've got Lamar Jackson, you're presumed 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.040 but yet unannounced starter for the Ravens. We're gonna go 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.159 with Lamar Jackson here. Um, this is he goes up 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.719 against Carolina. The only other rushing quarterback, I'm sorry, goes 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.160 up against Cincinnati, and that's key to this. The only 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.919 other rushing quarterback to face the Bengals, Cam Newton, scored 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.720 twice on the ground, and even if shockingly Lamar Jackson's 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.640 legs don't produce a much of fantasy points, his arms 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:09.439 certainly can. Cincinnati's devolved into the worst past defense in 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.240 the league. Over the past five games. The Bengals rank 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.840 last or second to last in all of these passing categories. 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:22.960 Completions allowed, passing yards allowed, passing touchdowns allowed. Joe Flacco 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.760 in the earlier matchup for Baltimore against Cincinnati a season 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.280 high three hundred seventy six yards in the earlier matchup 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.280 Lamar Jackson. Now, if Lamar Jackson doesn't go, I've got 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.800 a provisional for you, a little bit like golf. I 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:43.720 have a provisional shot justin no, Marcus Mariota is my provisional. 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:49.200 Take a chance, do it, Robert I would. I would 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:53.080 literally go any Baltimore quarter quarterback, any of them, whichever 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.840 one starts, it doesn't matter. You really can go RG three. 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.760 And by the way, what are these guys cost in 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.760 and ball. What does Lamar Jackson costs? Right, there's gotta 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.880 be dirt cheap. RG three will be below five. Yeah, 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:12.119 Lamar's I think, Lamar Yeah, I mean to me, that 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.719 is a cinch. If you're playing the fan Ball, the 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.200 fan Ball fifteen thousand dollars signature contest, Uh the take 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.000 take me to charge the contest. You can go to 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.159 family dot com Slash Radio. All right, let's go to 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.119 the running back position. Brian I got Chase Edmonds of 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.159 the Cardinals at home against Oakland. Don't fret, DJ owners, 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.440 He's okay and we'll play. But there there should be 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.119 a lot to go around in this game. The Raiders 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.160 are allowing one hundred and seventy combo yards per game 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.959 to opposing running back gang. That's a lot that's passing numbers. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.199 They're giving up on the ground, and their collective spirit 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.360 is more broken by each word that Gruden utters. They 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.320 just hate him more and want this season to be over. 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.840 They had a really good fake punt last week. There 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.280 you go. That was That's like the one highlight. That's 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.360 the highlight real for the whole season over the last 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.560 five games. Bosses backup running backs at average third team 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.560 plus touches against the Raiders, who have scored point totals 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.600 of six three somehow three ten in the last five. 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.640 There was gonna garbage time here and Edmonds is gonna 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.760 get some all right, I've got spencer ware. And the 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.080 thought process here is this game is going Is that 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:17.640 Is that the same spencer where that I used last week? Why? Yes? 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:23.520 It is? Wow? How about that? That's pretty good? Um, 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.879 so the thought processes the game is gonna be so 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.840 high scoring that you want to get every piece of 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.520 it that you can. And secondary backs have gotten it 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.359
