00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
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,

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

Speaker 1: Leagues Dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to fantasy football weekly.

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Georgie and my co host today are Scott

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, hello again. Same as

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: last week, same as last week. God's it drags so

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: long with you two gee, one show feels like twenty.

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to get to. Over the course

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: of the show. We will break down all the matchups

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: like we always do, letter grades for all the fantasy

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: relevant players. We will take a chance on nine players

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: you would not normally start. We'll answer three tough questions

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: and at the end of the show will give you

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: players to pick up that aren't already on rosters and

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: you'll want to grab this week when other people are

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: trying to pick that up next week. That's the second

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: speculation coming up later on in the show. But let's die.

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Let's go right into the matchups. If you're ready, let's

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: let's jump in. Saints taking on the Panthers. Scott and

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: for the saints. Jamis Winston playing with a broken back,

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: four fractures. Yeah, bad game last week. It seemed to

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: affect him and kind of a tricky matchup against the panther. Yeah,

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: I was sitting on a C grade with him. I

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: think I've downgraded it to a bench at this point.

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: The panthers fourth best against quarterbacks, but I mean they

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: faced Jacoby Brissette and Daniel Jones, I suppose on Thursday night.

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Jacobe prisctte actually looked pretty good. He looked he looked

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: terrible in week one, though. So like, uh, they have

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: started the year as the fourth best against quarterbacks and

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: the third best against wide receivers. Um since getting lace,

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Winston falls into two and two and seventy yards and

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: a score range most games. Yeah, yeah, I'M gonna put

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: that in there. Like since getting lacing, that's about where

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: he falls. I had him as a C grade. I've

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: moved him to a bench because of what you said.

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: He just did not look right with that injured back

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: last week. But I do have some starting grades on

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: some of his wide receivers. Over here. I have a

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: B grade on Michael Thomas. You could probably talk me

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: into an age just because he's so dang reliable with

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: his eight plus targets, his fifty plus yards, his score

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: in each game. But he's only scored four times in

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the twelve games without drew brees, and Jamis isn't looking

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: as good. He did score last week, of course, but

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: he's been in that fifty to seventy yards and you

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: hope for a touchdown range. That's more B range to me.

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: He's not exploding. I don't expect Jamis to explode for

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: him and honestly, last week the surprise was three hundred

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: and sixty five air yards to Chris, a lava, who

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: leads the NFL in that they are taking shot after

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: shot deep to try to get a lava involved. He's

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: the one that's more likely to have the giant boom

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: bust game and I have C grade on him just

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: because of that opportunity with the deep targets, thirteen targets

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: last week. Here's the risk, though. This is why it's

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: only a C grade. He's going up against Dante Jackson,

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: who took out Donovan People's Jones last week. I mean

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: that's not a big deal, but he is arguably the

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: fastest corner in the league. was that in the air

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: yards record. It's got to be for one one game, right.

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't like in six air yards in one. I

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: do have Jarvis Landry on the bench one week after

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: leading the team in targets, receptions in yards. He felt

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: a third in all three and he gets the toughest

66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: matchup he's got so far this year, at least against

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: the number one team against the slot so far here

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: in two Um. But let's check how they were last year. Oh,

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: they were number two against the slot last year. So

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: bad matchup all around for Landry. I'm throwing him back

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: on the bench because what Winston does get, I'm expecting

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: it to go to Thomas and the lave. I think

73
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: you could drop him. Honestly, you might be able to.

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna note here. Uh, not startable, but keep

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: your eye and Jowan Johnson beat reporters like Oh man.

76
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm good for his name. I think Nick Johnson be

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: reporter in new ORLEAND Saints Reporter. Nick Johnson. Yeah, had

78
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: had mentioned that. He had mentioned that he got a

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: full offseason this offseason. He's a six, five frame, big

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: target that they want involved in the red zone, etcetera.

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: He's getting more and more work, so more and more usage.

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: To keep an eye on that. But Bench for for

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: this week? Is that a premature, premature speculation right there?

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: It might be. Let's just make that my premature. All right.

85
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: Let's go with a B grade on Alvin Kamara, who

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: should be back after practicing this week. Nick Chubb and

87
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt Destroyed Carolina in week one. Sikan Bark, they

88
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: had a pretty fine day last week. Seventy plus yards,

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: a few catches. I expect that here for Kamara. Double

90
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: digit touches Um, with his talent, a few catches, maybe

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: a score. That's a B level day. UH SO B

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: level on Kamara. On the panthers side, I have the

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: whole pass game on the bench. Honestly, Mayfield is averaging

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards game. Has just unbroken coverage passing

95
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: touchdown that seventy five yard robby adderson. Otherwise he's done

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: virtually nothing. The saints just held Brady to a hundred

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: ninety yards. Dj Moore consistently wet three for forty three

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: each of the last two weeks. Exactly. Um. He's gonna

99
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: get a good amount of marshawn Lattimore, but as m

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: clay mentioned lattimore. In all their games that sts and

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: pethers and played has never shadowed dj more so um,

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: which I found respect him enough. Yeah, maybe that's it.

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it. So maybe he finds some room at

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: the Times Latimore is not, but I don't think that's enough.

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: I actually have a bench grade on DJ more this week. Uh.

106
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: And and as far as Christian McCaffrey, it's an Otto A.

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: you're you're going up against the team nearing allowing nearly

108
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: thirty running back touches. McCaffrey is going to get like

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: twenty five of those. With what he does in the

110
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: past game and that amount of touches. It's it's an Agrid.

111
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Did you see the video breakdown of how Matt rules

112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: tipped his hand on the run pass out of the shotgun?

113
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: It was it's staggering. He was he was lining up

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey right next to Baker Mayfield in the shotgun

115
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: on every passing play and a yard deep behind Baker

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: Mayfield on every running play. Tipped his hand. Yes, that rules.

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: The problem it's that's a pretty good roster and Matt rules.

118
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: The problem with that. I saw under his reign of terror.

119
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: The panthers are like one and like twentysomething. When they

120
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: give up seventeen points, which isn't a ton of points,

121
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: not a lot of points, he's gonna get canned at

122
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: some point. Got To get a shut out. Let's go

123
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: to the bengals and the jets, speaking of frustrating offenses,

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals, with all the firepower man that offensive line,

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: it'll click at some point with all the talent they've got.

126
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: It's looked terrible to this point and the fantasy players

127
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati have suffered. Yeah, let's start with the player

128
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to protect most of that offensive line,

129
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: and that's Joe Burrow. CAN GIVE HIM A B here.

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: He just needs to stay off his back in this game. Basically,

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: he's been sacked thirteen times the first across the first

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: two games. UH, since he's since he's revamped, line needs

133
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: to jell and this should be a good spot. The

134
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: jets of total just four sacks. So I like burrow

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: with the B and I like all his past catchers.

136
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: They are all gonna get a starting grade, starting with

137
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the Jamar Chase. Easy Amari Cooper went off for nine

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: catches a hundred one yards and a touchdown against New

139
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: York last week, so chase could do the same, as

140
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: could tee higgins. He gets an A. It's unlikely that

141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: he and chase provide a level production, but they both

142
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: have that potential in this matchup. Bengals wide receivers have

143
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: been targeted twelve times in the red zone this season.

144
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: That's tied for the most in the NFL. And we

145
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: still have to mention Tyler Boyd when Talking Cincinnati Wide

146
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Receiver is just to see for him, though. Boyd has

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: run the third most routes among all players, but it's

148
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: just seen nine targets so far at this season. Um,

149
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: he's clearly not burrows first or second read, but he's

150
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: always on the field for a dynamic offense. So a

151
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: C for Boyd and also a C for Tight End

152
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, who has run the seventh most pass routes

153
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: among all players in the NFL, and the jet have

154
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: yielded target totals of eleven and nine to opposing tight

155
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: ends through their first two games. So I like Hurst

156
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: in this matchup. And lastly, for the Bengals, Joe Mixon,

157
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: easy a for him. He's seen averaging twenty eight touches

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: per game so far. Nick Chubb just carved the jets

159
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: up on the ground last week, as did mix in

160
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: when he faced them last year, scoring two touchdowns. Now

161
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: over to the jet side, starting with their running backs.

162
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: Brees haw and Michael Carter. Are gonna give both in

163
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: terms of talent, I think I do well. You know

164
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Michael Carter's actually pretty dope. He is, and they're both good. Um,

165
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Briest Hall scored one of his targets

166
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: last week and whole average seven point one yards per

167
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: carry last week, but only got seven carries, which was

168
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: the same total for Carter, who averaged just over three

169
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: yards per carry. And, as Scott just mentioned, Hall caught

170
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: a tenure touchdown on his loan target, but Carter was

171
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: targeted five times. Ty Johnson got in the mix with

172
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: three targets. That's not great for hall. Um Hall is

173
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: likely the better player, but he's stuck in a time

174
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: share for now. But it's not a great matchup for

175
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: either hall or Carter. The bengals have allowed just one

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: six rushing yards through the first two weeks and that

177
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: was against the steelers, who have Nagy Harris and the cowboys,

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: who have the corps of Zeke Elliott. So it just

179
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: just to see for hall and Carter, but a a

180
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: B for Garrett Wilson, who has become the Alpha wide

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: receiver already for the jets. Last week he became the

182
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: first rookie in jets history to catch two touchdowns, to

183
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: go over a hundred yards. Pretty impressive. Ever, ever, now

184
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: that the jets of first jets rookie to have over

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: a hundred receiving yards and two touchdowns, that's not saying

186
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I thought where I thought you

187
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: were going with that is Garrett Wilson became the fastest

188
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: jet rookie to ever posts a hundred yards and two

189
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a games. Jets. Jeez, that's a lot about

190
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: the jets history. Not even a two. What about I

191
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: was at I used to go to jets games. This

192
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna get into it, but I was

193
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: at a game where Al tune became he had like

194
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: he set the record at the time for the most

195
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: receptions in like consecutive games or like he had at

196
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: least a catch, you know, an x amount of games. Anyway,

197
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: a little known fact about Johnson, yes, but anyway, back

198
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: to Garrett Wilson, leads jets wide receivers and targets with

199
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: twenty two. Elijah Morris total just twelves, even as more

200
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: targets and Elijah more the cowboys whiteouts were able to

201
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: produce against Cincinnati last week. Knew Brown had five for nine,

202
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: one in a touchdown. CEEDEE LAMB had seven for seventy five.

203
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: So really like Garrett Wilson, you with the B C.

204
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: I think Elijah more bounces back. I think there's gonna

205
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: be some squeaky wheel here. You know what we need, Robbie?

206
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: We need a mouse, I need a I need a

207
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: squeaky mouse. Sounder um on the button bar. I've just

208
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: done a jets rabbit hole like Johnson didn't do it

209
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: like it's yeah, what about? He was always kind of

210
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: a bust, at least with his better years are in

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But anyway, mentioned Elijah more. I'm gonna give

212
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: he and Corey Davis to see. More is definitely the

213
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: bigger name, but again Davis has more targets, albeit at

214
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: one or two. If I had to pick one in

215
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: this matchup, would be more, but Davis could be a

216
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: decent dart throw in deeper leagues. I think the jets

217
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: will be thrown a ton, as they have been so

218
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: far this season, and for that reason I like Tyler

219
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Conklin to gonna give him a see. CONKLIN is the

220
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: fourth most targeted tight end in the NFL right now

221
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: and the Bengals have allowed the seventh most artists of

222
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: the tight end position. So conklin is startable this week,

223
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: just as we wrote it up right tyler the leading

224
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: target getter, Tyler Conlin fourth leading. That's the year of

225
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: the Tyler's at tight ends and U Joe flacco remained startable.

226
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Not that anyone who's really been starting him, but you

227
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: should continue. You should start starting him now. He leads

228
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: the league with a hundred and three pass attempts. The

229
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: next guy up is joe burrow with eighty nine, who

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: have played an extra quarter of football in the first week.

231
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: So flacco is airing it out. Cooper rush went for two,

232
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: thirty five and one against the bengals last week with

233
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: no picks, so that should certainly be a safe floor

234
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: for FLACCO, who could throw multiple uch downs in this

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: matchup if New York sustains that past volume, and I

236
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: don't see why they don't. Colts, colts and chiefs meet here.

237
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: Colts obviously coming off a devastating loss to the Jaguars.

238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: For the chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are obvious a's,

239
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: and we're not even gonna expand on those two. They

240
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: both come in red hot. Uh. The only other guys

241
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: that get a grade here juju Smith Schuster. You know,

242
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Juju leads all Kansas City wide receivers with eleven targets

243
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: and nine receptions, but he's only turned eleven targets and

244
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: nine receptions into forty five scoreless yards per game. Juju

245
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: spends about half his time playing in the slot, where

246
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: he'll see Kenny Moore. So far the season, more has

247
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: given up an eighty two percent catch rate in his

248
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: coverage and he's responsible for yielding a touchdown in each

249
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: of the two games this year. So juju stays is

250
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: the only viable Kansas City wide receiver you'd want to start.

251
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Will give him a C grade in this game. All

252
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: the other past catchers are on the bench. The problem guys.

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: Fourteen different players have caught pass is in the chiefs.

254
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: Two Games told us, and that diversity is awful. For

255
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: fantasy use. Clyde Edwards a layer gets a C grade here.

256
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Only eleven touches per game so far, which is not good,

257
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: and he's masked his low usage behind the two touchdowns

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: in week one and the fifty yard gain that he

259
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: had in week two. But if those kinds of plays

260
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: don't materialize, C E H is more like m e

261
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: h Ma. The colts are seeing the second most carries,

262
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine per game, despite only giving up two point

263
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry. That's the NFL's lowest number, so

264
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: they've been a good run defense so far. The Kansas

265
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: City is a pretty dynamic offense, more so than Houston

266
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. Clyde Edwards a layer still has a chance,

267
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: but I can only get him up to a C

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: grade on the modest eleven touches per game he's had

269
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: so far. Let's go to indy. It's a it's a

270
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: train wreck right now for Matt Ryan in this offense

271
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: hopefully gets better with the return of Michael Pittman and

272
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. And Alec Pierce, we're we're excited something. India's

273
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: offense totally inept without Pittman. Jaguars just sold out to

274
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: stop Jonathan Taylor and and they helped out. The only

275
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: ran him nine times in the game. You're not gonna win, Jaguars,

276
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: sorry colts, running Jonathan Taylor nine times. The Indianapolis offense

277
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: should bounce back with Pittman X and a lot of

278
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: focus coming his way. He'll match up against all three

279
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: of the starting chiefs corners as he moves around the field.

280
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: But all three of those guys allowed these similarly big

281
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: bodied Mike Williams to catch two or more balls against

282
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: them last week against all three of those cornerbacks, and

283
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Williams racked up over a hundred total yards. I like

284
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: Pittman here, with a similar size and ability advantage to

285
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: what Mike Williams had. The chiefs have allowed the fifth

286
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: most wide receiver receptions, so pittman comes in with a

287
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: B grade here. Um, none of the other receivers are startables.

288
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Are Not getting any kind of consistent use from them.

289
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, I originally end as a bench grade, but

290
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: your figure the chiefs are gonna be way ahead. It's

291
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna throw a lot of passes. I'M gonna throw a

292
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: C grade on Ryan. The chiefs have given up solid

293
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: fantasy days to Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, who are

294
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: way better than Matt Ryan. Granted, Um, you can make

295
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: you get, I guess. I just think there's gonna be

296
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: enough garbage time. Yeah, there's six point favorites. Is the fifty,

297
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: fifty point over under. It's in a dome. There's a

298
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: lot to be a lot to be said for that.

299
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: Sticking with the passing game, and part of the reason

300
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: I think you can start Matt Ryan, Nike Heines Sitting

301
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: out a potentially nice game here with a C grade,

302
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: because Kansas City keeps building these big leads. They're seeing

303
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: a ton of passes, including from running backs. Well, Kansas

304
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: City has already seen twenty running back receptions. That's an

305
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: NFL high. They're giving up sixty four running back receiving

306
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's third most, and Kansas City is

307
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna have the lead here. So a lot of dump

308
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: off garbage time stuff coming to Nike Heind Se n Oh.

309
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Ni Jonathan Taylor, I spent

310
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of time on this. Between an A and

311
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: B grade. You know I can't anymore. I normally we

312
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: just say Jonathan. There's only a way to just you know,

313
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: but there's not a bridge. The gap between A and B.

314
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Howard is not to find a spot. Kansas City's big

315
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: lead means the teams aren't running a lot. Um Taylor

316
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: only got the nine carries last week despite netting six

317
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry. So you figure Frank Reich will overreact

318
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: to that this week and call his number a lot.

319
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: So I'm keeping I'm keeping the A grade. Kensa city's

320
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: run defense has been good. No running backs top thirty

321
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: nine yards, and that includes Austin Nickeler and James Conner.

322
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: So there's certainly risk here, but I see Jonathan Taylor

323
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: running the ball eighteen, twenty times in this game. Again,

324
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: the overcorrection coming, and an a grade for Jonathan Taylor

325
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: when we come back. Take a chance on me. Nine players,

326
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: not normally and you're starting line up will tell you

327
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: who you can hit the waiver wire four when we

328
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: come back to fantasy football weekly plus. If you've always

329
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: wanted to join a guillotine league, it's not too late.

330
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: We're four brand new Guillotine League sixteen teamers, because they're

331
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: sixteen teams left, sixteen weeks left in the season. Guillotine

332
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: Leagues Dot Com. You can draft David and Joku and

333
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: start him in your line up if you want. Nine

334
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: players are in Mariti Cooper. Yeah, a little, a little

335
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: more expensive brown strap. How about that? Uh. More fantasy

336
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: football weekly coming up right after this. Take a chance

337
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: on me. Nine players not normally in your starting line

338
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: if we'll tell you who they are. Are beginning with

339
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Scott Fish in the quarterback position. Who You got? Yeah,

340
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm going with Ryan Tannehill in a game I think

341
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: could be. Could be a high scooling affair here. Tannehill

342
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: kind of craft the bed last week going against the

343
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: bills on Monday night. UH, week one he had respectable

344
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: two in sixty six yards and two scores. And all time,

345
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: the all time against the radar. Against the radars, he

346
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: averages over two touchdowns per games thus far in two

347
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: thraders are allowing an average of tuna in seventy eight

348
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: passing yards and two point five quarterback touchdowns per game.

349
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Solid spot for Tannehill to get the taste out of

350
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: his mouth from that bill was a bad, bad game.

351
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: It's been a tough start to the season for the

352
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: whole team. All right, Brian, who's your take a chance

353
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: at me. quarterback after doing the jets matchup. I should

354
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: have went with Joe Flacco, but I did. But I

355
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: went with Justin fields, who, from a family seat perspective,

356
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: has not been a complete dud, unlike a reality football

357
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns in week one at a rushing score

358
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: in week two. But he's had two tough two tough matchups.

359
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: Not The case this week of far easier matchup in

360
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: the Texans, who are yielding forty one pass attempts per

361
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: game and based on your math charts, that would be

362
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: a increase for fields. Based Office passes better game I did,

363
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: hence using it on the show. And of course, fields

364
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: always a threat with his feet. The Texans have a

365
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: decent secondary but a terrible run defense. So far they're

366
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: tackling as a team is ranked twenty five by pro

367
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: football focus. Marcus Mariota takes on Seattle. He's played well

368
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: for Atlanta, especially considering he's had brutal matchups against the

369
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: saints and the Rams so far. And that all changes

370
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: here against Seattle, after drawing just three targets in week two.

371
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts probably has a squeaky wheel game coming.

372
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Very plus matchup. Well, that's the whole point of the

373
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: squeaky wheels. It's supposed to be annoying. So then you

374
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: you grease it so you don't have to hear the

375
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel again. That's that's how it works. UH, drake

376
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: London looks like he's gonna be good. Seattle surrender three

377
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: forty yards and a touchdown to Russell Wilson in week one,

378
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: then last week Jimmy Garoppolo air and C touchdowns didn't

379
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: even play the whole game. So, Marcus Mariota, I'll take

380
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: a chance at the quarterback. Let's go to the running

381
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: back position. Scott. Yeah, I'm going with the mere white

382
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: running back for the Las Vegas Raiders. Reports came out

383
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: on Friday from several beat reporters that Josh Jacobs was

384
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: who's been suffering had an illness all week, was not

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: traveling with the team. He may still catch up with

386
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the team, but at this point it's looking like he

387
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: may not play. He's listed as questionable. says. A mere

388
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: white jumps into a role against the Titans team allowing

389
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: twenty five touches and a hundred and fifty five, hundred

390
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: fifty four yards per game to running backs. Brandon bolden

391
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: also questionable with that hamstring injury. It looks like it

392
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: just might be as a mere white and a mere

393
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: Abdula for that backfield. So and why? We get all

394
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: the carries. Yeah, it might be touches for Zamere white

395
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: in this one if Jacobs does not go alright. I've

396
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: had the vegas flu before and it's it's no joke.

397
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: So Gosh Jacobs right now, because you're drinking that Yard

398
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: High Margarita thing that you see people walking around with. Yes,

399
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: and some other dangers, Jamal. Yeah, you're take a chance

400
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: of me running back. Hey, I'm sticking with the Falcons.

401
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a sneaky shootout potential in that game

402
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: with the seahawks. I'm going Tyler Algier. Got Do you?

403
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: What do you know about him? I just know I

404
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: played the league with him. Is he starting himself this week?

405
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: I should check. Well, I'm going to start him. Got

406
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Ten carries last week, the same amount as cordarrel Patterson.

407
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: Algier didn't catch a pass, but he certainly has that ability.

408
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: But a great matchup on paper for for both Falcons backs.

409
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: The yeah, uh, the seahawks have allowed three running backs

410
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: to top seventy total yards so far this season. They've

411
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: surrendered the third most receptions to running backs through the

412
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: first two weeks, and the seahawks will also be without

413
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: safety Jamal Adams, who is pro football focusest best run

414
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: defender last year. For you, he is starting Joe Mix

415
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery and Antonio Gibson over himself. I probably

416
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: that I would too, even if he's active for this game,

417
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: and if he was in a deeper league he'd start himself,

418
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: though I'm going to Jamal Williams against the Vikings. Jamal

419
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Williams leads the NFL and carries from inside the five

420
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: yard line with four of them, and he scored on

421
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: three of the four runs. So if you're if you're

422
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: knocking into these goal line runs at a seventy clip,

423
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's gonna keep them coming. The Vikings have allowed

424
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: red zone rushing touchdowns and back to back weeks and

425
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: are likely without safety Harrison Smith due to a concussion.

426
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Vikings giving a five and a half yards per carry

427
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: right now. So you know, Jamal Williams looking pretty good

428
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: and by the end, if, if, and I'm not wishing

429
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: injury on anybody, to be clear, but if deandre swift's

430
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: ankle goes belly up, that could be a very big

431
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: game for Jamal Williams. Let's go to the receiver's slash

432
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: tight ends. Who You got? Yes, I should. I just

433
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: go back to Jawan Johnson. No, I'm just kidding. I'm

434
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: just kidding. I'm actually going with a guy who is

435
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: shockinglyto percent rostered in leagues. When I saw that, I'm like,

436
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta tell people. Why don't you have

437
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: this guy rostered? It's Traylon burks. He's he's gonna be

438
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: playing against the raiders, who have allowed eighty three percent

439
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: of their wide receiver fantasy points this year to the

440
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: slot and he's been playing. He played eight slot in college.

441
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: He's only been playing percent so far this year. But

442
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips is out, so him and Nick Westbrook and

443
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: keene will share those duties. Plus, every metric you look

444
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: at for Traylon burks, his yards after the catch, he's

445
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: top five in the NFL. Um The raiders have allowed

446
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: five different or five different plays over fifteen plus yards.

447
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: They're they're bad against yards, against yards after the catch.

448
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: Every metric you look at for Burkes says a breakout

449
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: is coming. Bottom five raiders or bottom five against the

450
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: posing wide receivers to everything is in line for this

451
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to be the tray Lion Burke's breakout week. Wagon Falcons

452
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: in this segment, which is pretty weird. Pretty Soon Kyle

453
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: Pitts is going to qualify for take it aunts on

454
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: metop it. Who Do you got? Not Kyle Pitts? Uh,

455
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: this guy was my prespect last week and he's been

456
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: promoted to a take on player already, and that's Richie James.

457
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm rich James Versus of the cowboys on Monday night.

458
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I should see a full time role from the slot

459
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: in this game. Kadarius Tony Likely will be out with

460
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury yet again, but when given the opportunity,

461
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: rich James has played well. He's seventeenth among all wide

462
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: receivers and yards per route run and should match up

463
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: with Dallas Slot Corner Jordan Lewis, who has allowed a

464
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: seventy catch rate and owns a passer rating of one

465
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: oh eight in his coverage. I'm rich James. Are You

466
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: you know where I'm gonna? You know what that's from, right,

467
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Rick James, am I allowed to say the B word

468
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: on this show. That's why I didn't don't do that.

469
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: Sharks taking in Minnesota. We saw last week we saw

470
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: Philly's number two receiver, Davante Smith, rebound from a goose

471
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: egg in week one. It's the Vikings D J chark

472
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: goose egg last week. Maybe he has the big rebound here.

473
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier that the vikings maybe missing elite Safety

474
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith. They may be press pressing rookie Lewis scene

475
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: into his very first game of action, and starting cornerback

476
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: Cam Dancler got benched last week. There's a good opportunity

477
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: for D J chark in this game. Don't get scared

478
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: off by the zero catches last week. All right, let's

479
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: go to our next matchup, Scott, that is the bills

480
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: taking on the dolphins. The bills offense is in pretty

481
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: good shaped, even battered. We'll talk about that in a minute,

482
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: but I think I know what you're gonna tell me

483
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: about Stefan diggs and Josh Allen. Those are obvious, a

484
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: grades obvious. There's no need to talk about it. which

485
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: it's a fifty two point five over under, one of

486
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: the highest of the weeks. There's gonna be a lot

487
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: of points in this especially given the secondary for the

488
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: bills this week. Over on, you know, other receivers for

489
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: the bills. I have a B grade on Cabe Davis,

490
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: who just limited all week but he said he's a

491
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent and ready to go. All indications from around

492
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: the team say he is going to play. Um. Did

493
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: you know he started eighteen career games and in those

494
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: eighteen starts, just his starts, he has fourteen touchdowns. Pretty

495
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: good right? Show that's a really good he has nineteen

496
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns total, but fourteen in his eighteen starts. Um. So

497
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on Davis. Maybe a little

498
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: bit because he's, you know, gampy, and a little bit

499
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: because Miami has allowed the fewest receptions per game to

500
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver this year and just two wide receiver touchdowns.

501
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: But for giving him a B grade, I don't. I

502
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: don't think the bills played by any of those rules.

503
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: Like they don't. They don't even care what your defense is,

504
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna score on it. Mackenzie and crowd are back

505
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: on the bench. They're in a true slot committee. Miami's

506
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: mill of the pack against the slot in last week

507
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: in a just a choice matchup against the slot. They

508
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: split and didn't do very well. So, yes, Dawson Knox

509
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: sounds like he's not gonna go. Even if he does,

510
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: he's not really performing very well and with that injured foot,

511
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: I I think he'll be limited and not a good start.

512
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Have Him on the bench. I have the bills runners

513
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: on the bench too. There's just too much splitting going on.

514
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: James Cook really only got in for like ten touches

515
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: after the game was completely out of hand, but even

516
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: before that they just don't run the ball. They just

517
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: passed the ball. That's that's really all they do. They're

518
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of the bills and the and the UM raiders.

519
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Derek Carr just they throw it inside the five. That's

520
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: what they do on the other side. Uh, to a

521
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: lit it up last week. Uh. I have obvious a's

522
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: for wattle and hill. I I don't think I need

523
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: to go much into that tune. Four yards and three

524
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: touch every week, particularly get, say, a defense that's missing

525
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: five starters. Yes, yes, let's let's get into that. They're

526
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: missing on their on their fur their offense. They're missing

527
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: at Oliver or further defense, at Oliver Defensive Tackle. They're

528
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: missing Jordan Phillips, defensive tackle. They're missing Lane Jackson, they're

529
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: missing treevious, why is still out, and they're missing Um

530
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde also out. So basically it's Jordan Poy. You're

531
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: sitting back there at safety going it's like the John

532
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Travolta meme or the Will Smith MEME, like in an

533
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: empty room. What's going on? Where is everybody? Uh? So

534
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: I have waddle and Hill with pretty obviously a grades,

535
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: with that entire secondary basically gone to UH. I had

536
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: a B grade on Um. This is a bill's defense

537
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: that held Stafford and Ted Hill down combined for only

538
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: three seven yards, only one touchdown and five picks. But

539
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: because it's so depleted, I'm bumping to a backup to

540
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I thought about B plus, but I'm going

541
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: to give him the a minus. Here you're giving him

542
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: an a grade. You know how these things work on

543
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: this year. Okay and Ay, you know, just own it.

544
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm giving I'm giving two of the A grade. It's good.

545
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: It's a negative game script in a lot of points

546
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: being scored. Given him the A grade. I'm actually benching

547
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the team, though. Mikeasecki is blocking most

548
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: of the time. We saw in week one. He had

549
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: a few catches. Last weekend he got that score, but

550
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: he's mostly blocking now and that's the role mcdaniels wanted

551
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: him to have and talked about offseason. And the most

552
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: diard Edmunds guys. Oh Man, I'm benching them both. Edmund's

553
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: got the only red zone touch. MOSTER got the only

554
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: red zone touch in week one. Edmunds played thirteen more snaps.

555
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: In Week one, most are three more snaps. In Week

556
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Two Edmonds Ten more touches and week one mostard eight

557
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: more and week two they're like. Everything is back and

558
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: forth between these two. It's a true committee and I

559
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a lot more passing. So I'm

560
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: on the bench until one of them emerges. I think.

561
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: I think MOSTARD has already emerged. It's just this is

562
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: a very tough matchup against very good bill. Here's the problem.

563
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: Mcdaniels only gives the runners about nineteen to twenty total touches.

564
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: If they split it all like you, I don't think

565
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: they're need one guy. I think Mostar it's gonna emerge

566
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: out of this. We'll find out. If no, I think

567
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: you absolutely could, but this is a bill's defense is

568
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: his third best against running backs. And just tell Darns

569
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: Henrys next week, but I'm already calling where he mostart

570
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: as might take a chance on me running back for

571
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: next week's show. All I got from that was you

572
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: saying owned the A and I think they for that.

573
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: That's an actually really good run defense too. I might

574
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: have to push that forward another couple of weeks. Texans

575
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: take on the bears. This is we'll find out I'm right,

576
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: but I'm rubbing my temples. Damian Pierce. This is the

577
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: breakout game coming against the bears. You might be rubbing

578
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: something else after this game. Charge I gotta be on

579
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Damien Pierce. After to brutal, brutal matchups against the Colton pragoes,

580
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: Pierce gets a cake matchup and the bears, who are

581
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: allowing a hundred rushing yards perty game to opposing backs.

582
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Pierce played in over six the snaps last week and

583
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: got fifteen carries. T REX burkhead, the extinct back for

584
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: the Texans, zero carries last week. He's obviously on the

585
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: bench and my thoughts are with those who burned any

586
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: fab or a waiver claim on burkhead last week. But

587
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: Pierce will break out this week with the B H

588
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: Brandon cooks. I'M gonna give a B to him for

589
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: the birthday boy. Sunday is Brandon Cook's birthday. He had

590
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: a brutal drop touchdown last week, but he should have

591
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: a chance to make up for it against the bears,

592
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: who do have one solid coverage corner in Jaylon Johnson,

593
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: but he only players on one side of the field.

594
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: They moved cooks all over the place. Opposing wide receivers

595
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: haven't done much against the bears, but that smoking mirrors.

596
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: They played in a monsoon in week one. Last week

597
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay ran all over them. No one really had

598
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: to throw against Chicago. So a bee for cooks, and

599
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: I gotta see on Nico Collins, who saw nine targets

600
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: last week and led the Texans and receiving yards. He's

601
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: at the clear cut number two in Houston and the

602
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: Texans have passed the ball over of their offensive plays

603
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: through two weeks. So I do like Nico in this game.

604
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I was close to giving tight end o j Howard

605
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: is c Grade UH spetch with Brevin Jordan's trending towards

606
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: not playing with an ankle injury, but I got O

607
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: J on the bench. This is just a bad matchup

608
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: on paper. Posting tight ends average just three point four

609
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: catches and thirty four yards per game against the bears

610
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: last year, who also allowed just five total touchdowns to

611
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: the position. And Davis Mills, I was close to the

612
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: sea here, but I got him on the bench this week.

613
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: But I hope he proves me wrong. But I think

614
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: there are better options this week at quarterback. Over to

615
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: the bear side. Not a ton to talk about here. Uh,

616
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: David Montgomery certainly worth talking about. He gets to be Um.

617
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: So here are the running back target share leaders in

618
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: the NFL through two weeks. Javonta William John Tay Williams,

619
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: twenty three and then David Montgomery at and he leads

620
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: the bears and receptions as of right now. And Houston

621
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: has allowed the most rushing yards on the most carries

622
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: by opposed running back so far. So a safe B

623
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: for Montgomery. But Herbert is it might be a sneaky

624
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: play here. He could be because I've got all the

625
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: past catchers on the bench, including Darnell Mooney, Canada of

626
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: the year. So far for bust busted. The year only

627
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: has only seen five targets some of US told you

628
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: to stay far away from Darnell Mooney. I hope, I

629
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: hope we really said we hate the bears and love

630
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: the Texas. It's what we said all PAS. That is true.

631
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Two catches for Mooney, so of OAR for four yards.

632
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: One catch was for negative four yards. Eight yard catching,

633
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: the negative four yard catch, Um and then. But that's

634
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: better than Cole commit, who has zero catches so far.

635
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: Not Dropping commit yet, but he's on the bench right

636
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: now until he can, he can prove something. And for

637
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I did have justin fields as might take

638
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: a chance and be quarterback. I think it's more about

639
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: the rushing in this. I think he cobbles something together passing,

640
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: but it's really what he'll do on his feet here.

641
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: So Uh yeah, there we go. When we come back,

642
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: lions taking on the Vikings. Is this a bounce back,

643
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: a game for Minnesota after being humiliated on national television?

644
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Will the lions continue to score points in abundance as

645
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: they traveled to Minnesota? Find out when we returned fantasy

646
00:33:44,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: football weekly. Welcome back fantasy football weekly, Paul charchy and

647
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. You can follow us on twitter.

648
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm at Paul Charchi and Scott Fishes, at Scott Fish.

649
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: Twenty Four. Were there really twenty three others at Scott

650
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: Fishes that were taken? There were. There were Rif Jn

651
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: bt X j. He well, he's trying to just Ken

652
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: Griffey Juniors. Twitter handle is at Scott Fish because no

653
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: play growing up. So I don't blame you. Lions. Take

654
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: on the Vikings. Deandre swift is an obvious ay, even

655
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: with the Gimpie ankle and even while losing goal line

656
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: carries to might take a chance on me runner Jamal Williams.

657
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota giving up almost five and a half yards per carry,

658
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: and swift is gained the third most rushing yards over expectation,

659
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: which means he's he's getting even more than what's getting

660
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: blocked for him. The lion's offense is averaging almost four

661
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: yards per harry before contact, four yards before you hit contact.

662
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: That offensive line is dominating right now. And I'm on

663
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Ross at Brown, is also an obvious a already mentioned.

664
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: Um Jamal Williams might take a chance, and you're running back.

665
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: Dj chark. Might take a chance of the wide receiver,

666
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: and that means I gotta like Jared Goff. He comes

667
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: in with a B grade. He's got the second most

668
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns and with I'm on Ross St Brown blossoming

669
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: into a superstar before our eyes, golf has become a

670
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: viable fantasy option when the matchup is right, and this

671
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: feels like one. Minnesota just surrendered a career best game

672
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: to Jalen hurts, and you figure with his sturdy offensive line,

673
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: golf should have time to make plays, and so we.

674
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: I like him here be grade on golf, and that

675
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: only leaves us with T J Hockenson. He ranks eighth

676
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: and targets among tight ends. Minnesota has allowed the fourth

677
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: most yards to tight ends so far, including Dallas. Got

678
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: It with the big game last Monday night against Minnesota.

679
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: The last time Hawkinson played against the vikings, four catches,

680
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: fifty yards and a touchdown, and that feels about right

681
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: in this game as well. We'll put C grade on

682
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: T J Hockenson. Let's go over to the Vikings Justin Jefferson,

683
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: with an obvious a grade, we won't elaborate on that,

684
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: and what should be a bounce back game. But let's

685
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: talk about kirk cousins, who played poorly down the stretch

686
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: of last week's game. Some mixed trends here to trade

687
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: secondaries allowing the fifth most passing yards, almost three hundred

688
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: per game, but the lions have generated forty eight quarterback

689
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: pressures already. That is the most in the NFL. Plus,

690
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: the last time cousins through three interceptions, he came back

691
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: the next week with three touchdowns and we hope that's

692
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: going to be the case here. Cousins has thrown for

693
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in three of his last four against the lions.

694
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: I like him here with a B grade and which

695
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: should be a solid effort and a bounce back for Kirk. Cousins.

696
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: Had him feeling. You can't not be troubled by his

697
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: lack of usage, aside from some late game stuff last week.

698
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: He runs predominantly from the slot or the right side

699
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: of the field, and both are strong matchups against either

700
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes, now in his third team in three years,

701
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: or Jeff of Kuda, trying to salvage his career after injury.

702
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: A coudas allowed a seventy percent completion rate on balls

703
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: thrown his way. So we're gonna keep feeling in our lineups,

704
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: but just with the C grade in this game. Last

705
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: member of the passing game I want to talk about

706
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: deserves Smith. A massive eight targets. Last week he scored

707
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: a touchdownody also dropped the sure fire sixty yard bomb touchdown.

708
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: That nine eight percent of the time we've been a

709
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: completed pass for a touchdown. The lions have given up

710
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: strong games to opposing number one tight ends and both

711
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: of their games so far Dallas Goddard, Logan Thomas. So

712
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: we'll keep we'll give a starting great on nerve Smith

713
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: on the assumption they're gonna want to go back to

714
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: him and maybe build a little confidence in the kid

715
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: after that drop. Now let's talk about let Dalvin Cook,

716
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: and this gets a little bit thorny, a great track

717
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: record against the Lions but did not play in either

718
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: of the matchups last week. He averages over one career

719
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards against the lions, but again didn't play. ENST

720
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: him last year. Figures to be improved in a better

721
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: game script against Detroit than last week and only had

722
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: the nine carries. Well, Detroit has taken steps to improve

723
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: their league worst run defense from a season ago. They

724
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: have still allowed four different running backs to run for

725
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in two games. Detroit ranks twenty one in tackling

726
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: by pro football focus, and you know they're going to

727
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: get the ball back into Dalvin Cook's hands after he

728
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: got out rushed by Kirk cousins last week. So I'm

729
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: gonna put the A grade on cook. A really gave

730
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot of thought to just the B grade. Oh,

731
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: critical Dalvin Cook staff for you guys. The Vikings have

732
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: run nineteen plays in the red zone. Dalvin Cook has

733
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: one touch on the nine plays. That is troubling right there.

734
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next matchup. That is

735
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: the raiders taking on the titans. We've already talked about

736
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: a lot of angles in this game. Already Skilled Zamir White,

737
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: the expected starting running back from las ve gets. Let's

738
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: go to the passing game. Yep, what do you think?

739
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: What do you like out of the passing game for

740
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: the raiders? For the raiders, I have a B grade

741
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: on Derek Carr. I actually really like him this week.

742
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: I wish I could give him some sort of positive

743
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: or negative not the case really. The titans have allowed, yes, yes,

744
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: the titans of allowed six passing touchdowns on their way

745
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: to be in seventh worst against quarterbacks KR himself averaging

746
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: two seventy eight yards and two point five scores per game.

747
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, a very sturdy, strong, positive B grade there

748
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: for Derek Carr his main weapon. Davante Adams is an

749
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: obvious A. I don't think I need to talk about him.

750
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro out for this game. Yeah, so we are

751
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: left with Mac Hollins, who's actually had a lot of

752
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of targets. He had seven targets

753
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: last week and oddly enough, car seems to only be

754
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: throwing to four options. He might be playable here. I

755
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: have him on the bench, but if you're in a

756
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: real pinch he might be playable with Renfro oh. But

757
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: I think the other a grade actually just goes to

758
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. He's at at least four catches for fifty

759
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: yards in both games. That's basically his floor. With renfrow

760
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: out he's just gonna see a huge uptick in targets.

761
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: I have a grades on Adams and waller. I talked

762
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: about Zamir White. Um, Josh Jacobs. If he does go,

763
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: he would have gotten the B grade. Um, he likely

764
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: to see fifteen to twenty touches. He would have gotten

765
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: a B grade there. If he does go on the

766
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: other side, Ryan Tannehill and UH treylon Burke's will take

767
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: a chance on me players for myself. I do have

768
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Robert Woods on the bench. I Have Hooper on the bench.

769
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: I basically have the rest of the passing game on

770
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: the bench. Um, it doesn't hurt woods that he's tied

771
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: for the team lead and targets, but he disappeared in

772
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: week one and last week, despite all those targets, ended

773
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: with four for thirty nine, like it wasn't fantasy relevant.

774
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: Despite he's getting a bunch of he's getting some opportunities. Um,

775
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: and in the running game, I kill you might miss again.

776
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I don't know that it really matters.

777
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: The raiders are bad against the past. Yeah, is a throwback. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, Dontrelle. Yeah,

778
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: that's also a throwback. Yeah, raiders, throwback. Yeah, raiders allowing

779
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: the fifth most receptions in yards to running back. So

780
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: you might have a thought of it, but I actually

781
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of a Henry squeaky wheel

782
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: game or squeaky mouse game here talking about how he

783
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: wants the workload. Uh Really, last week Hassan Hassan Haskins

784
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: came in because of the blowout. Otherwise Henry was on

785
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: his way to another twenty plus touch effort. I'm giving

786
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: him the B grade on what is likely another twenty

787
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: plus effort this week. I like Don trelle Hilliard. I

788
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: think we gotta keep keep our eyes on it. I do.

789
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: It is a good spot for him. So in a

790
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: pinch like this, isn't a good team against against, against

791
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 1: the pass game. And it's not even like it wasn't

792
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: just Austin Neck Claire. It's like two catches. Austin only

793
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: had four. Four catches. It was like two catches, three catches,

794
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: two catches. Six different running backs had a couple of

795
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: catches against them. So they're battle around against the past.

796
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: Have quite time to sneak in another matchup. But let

797
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: me ask you a couple of questions stemming from Thursday night.

798
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper now, after a silent week, one too big

799
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: back to back games. Jacoby brissette looking good. I was

800
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: very high in Cooper in the preseason. I look like

801
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: a more on in week one. I'm looking pretty smart

802
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: right now. What do you what do you think is

803
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: more more of who the Real Amari Cooper is going

804
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: to be in this offense, the week one version, the

805
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: guy we got in weeks two and three. I think

806
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: you hold Cooper and not sell high. Basically, he look

807
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: looks great and it was a tough matchup against Pittsburgh.

808
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: It was on Thursday night. So yeah, cooper a steel

809
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't sell high on him. I would hold.

810
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: I will say, did you see that he's the first

811
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: Brown's wide receiver to have a hundred plus yards and

812
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: a score in back to back Games since Josh Gordon?

813
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: That that's absurd. That has been is that nine? Is

814
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: that nine years that has passed between back to back,

815
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: when hundred yard games is a long time. That is terrible.

816
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: Another genius move by Jerry Jones and company in the

817
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Front Office. They've got to have so much seller's

818
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: remorse right now now. So they made a critical, junk,

819
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: critical decision a couple of years ago on who they

820
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: were going to pay, Amari Cooper or Ezekiel Elliott, and

821
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: they already had Tony Pollard, they already had a good

822
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: running back that could have taken over, taken over the reins,

823
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: and they ultimately made the decision to give Zeke the

824
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: big contract in knowing the running you know the lifespan

825
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: of the running back and everything else. I think that

826
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: was a pretty epic blunder by Jerry Jones. I'M gonna

827
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: go back to your question about Cooper. I think the

828
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: question is, is Brissett the guy we just saw or

829
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: I think that's what is leading cooperst was terrible in

830
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: week one. He was terrible. So if he's this guy,

831
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: then cooper is going to be that guy. Person I

832
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: look at a really nice game on Thursday, Really Nice game.

833
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: I was very impressed and Cooper got open a lot,

834
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of those routes, which was great. You can

835
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: still join a Guillotine League at Guillotine Leagues Dot Com.

836
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: You know how it works. Sixteen teams. Sixteen teams play

837
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: and each week the low scoring team gets cut. Their

838
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: entire roster goes the waiver wire, where you get to

839
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: have a ton of fun bidding on a fantastic group

840
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: of players and build a superstar roster. I have to

841
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: do is not finished. Last it's Guillotine Leagues Dot Dot

842
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: Com and our number two fantasy football weekly coming up next.

843
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: Our number two fantasy football weekly, Paul Charchi and Scott

844
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson with you. Thank you for joining us.

845
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: This is a game we like to call three tough questions.

846
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: We encourage you to play a long tough question. Number One,

847
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: first round running backs have been a complete disaster this year.

848
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: Which of the struggling first rounders is going to stay

849
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: every bit as a mnemic as he's looked so far?

850
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Scott Okay. So for me this goes

851
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: down to the two offenses. I find probably two of

852
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: the three worst here, and that would be the titans,

853
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Naji Harris. We're talking about Jonathan Taylor,

854
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Astikeler, Davin Cook, Joe Mix and types. Um,

855
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: those are probably the two worst offenses, and of them

856
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: I do like the titans offense more, but Henry just

857
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: doesn't catch passes, and that's my problem. The other guys

858
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: catch a bunch of passes. I know that Jalen Warren

859
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: looked really good for Pittsburgh the other night. Um, I

860
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: still don't think he's going to take a ton of

861
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: away from uh Naja Harris. I think it's got to

862
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: be Derrick Henry, just because his usage isn't what it

863
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: is he's in. He's not averaging twenty seven touches a game.

864
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: He's averaging, you know, yet twenty one in the first

865
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: week and thirteen the second. He's closer to, you know,

866
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty now, and you bring him down there

867
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: and take away the pass catching where he had last year.

868
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: I think it's Derrick Henry Brian, which of the struggling

869
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: first round running backs is going to stay every bit

870
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: as anemic as he's looked so far? I was down

871
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry, Naji Harris too, and I almost want

872
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: to go najy just to hedge our our answers here,

873
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: but I gotta go with with Derrick Henry too. He's

874
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. The titans offensive line is not

875
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: as good as it was in the past. Now they're

876
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: without Taylor Luan, who was feared to be lost for

877
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: the season. That doesn't seem to be the case just yet,

878
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I don't know. Henry is just looking

879
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot more washed than the Naja Harris. I'm going

880
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. The correct answer is Derrick Henry. Three yards

881
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: per carry. Last week he had one point nine yards

882
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: per carry. His lowest measure in three seasons. And get this,

883
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: there's the next GEN staff that we referred to sometimes

884
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: as yards over expectation. The leader in yards over expectation

885
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: is Aaron Jones, who has produced eighty eight rushing yards

886
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: over expected. Derrick Henry's yards over expectation is negative, Ted

887
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: last in the NFL. And just look at the eye

888
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: test Derrick Henry's. It looks like to me the beginning

889
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: of the end for a guy who has been a

890
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: workhorseback since middle school. I think it's finally caught up

891
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 1: to him and this terrible offensive line. We talked about

892
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: this in the preseason as well. He's he's a bat

893
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: who needs a lot. He needs his line to open up,

894
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: open up, yes, and he's not going to get it correct. answered.

895
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Tough question number two. Christian Kirk is currently

896
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: inside the top ten for fantasy points through two weeks.

897
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: Is that a trend or Mirage? Brian? I'm going trend.

898
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: Kirk currently owns twenty seven percent of Jacksonville's target chair.

899
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: That's a very healthy number. He's top twelve and yards

900
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: per out run, yards per reception and yards after the

901
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: catch per reception and there's something cooking down in Jacksonville

902
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: right now with new head coach Doug Peterson, and they've

903
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: got kirk lined up outside in the slot, even at

904
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: running back. And Uh and I'm a Jaguars Fan now

905
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: and I bring nothing but success when I become a

906
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: fan of a team. So I worked for the Bengal. Well,

907
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm not a Falcon, I'm just Pitts Fan. I'm a

908
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: Fan Falcons. I don't want to get into that. We'll

909
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: get into that later. But I'm saying trend Kirk is

910
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: the real deal. I think you could finish inside the

911
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: top ten at wide receiver in PPR. Leagues, Scott, Jacksonville

912
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Christian Kirk, currently inside the top ten for

913
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: fantasy points scored through two weeks. Is that a trend

914
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: or Mirage? Yeah, so I I if you might have

915
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: been able to hear on the MIC, I laughed as

916
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: Brian listed off almost every statistic that I had in

917
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: my every salient talking point in church Um. The only

918
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: one I don't think he mentioned is that he's running

919
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: around on almost every single drop back, like ninety seven

920
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: percent drop backs. He's going out there and running around

921
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: eight targets per game. Six catches per game, a hundred

922
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: plus in weeks one and two. Um, the hundred plus

923
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: week one and two, scores in seventy yards and a

924
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: week too. He'll have down games. Don't get me wrong,

925
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna have down games and I don't know that

926
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: he's going to finish as a top ten wide receiver

927
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: like he is now, but it is a trend. He

928
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: is probably going to be a top twenty four wide

929
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: receiver come end of the season. Well, there's a big

930
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: Gulf between top twenty four and the question which said

931
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: top ten, trend or Mirage. Are you sure you're on trend?

932
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure where we stand on

933
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: this man. Top Ten is the is the sticking point. Um,

934
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: do it. He leads the NFL and yards from the

935
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: slot over Justin Jefferson. All Right, let's be bold and

936
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: say it's a trend. The correct answer is trend. On

937
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. He will finish at or close to wide

938
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: receiver time. Close. I think it will be close. Now

939
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: I think he'll be in the teams. Had the part

940
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: where I struggled on this, and you guys already get

941
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: all my talking points. But where where I struggle on

942
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: this a little bit. Is Are there really only nine

943
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: players that I would trade? Nine receivers I would trade

944
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: for exactly. But at the end of the day I

945
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: get the feeling he's gonna end up finishing right in

946
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: that like nine, ten eleven, twelve range. So we're gonna

947
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: go with trend. On Christian Kirk start of the season.

948
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: Tough question number three. What is the appropriate level of

949
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: concern for Russell Wilson? Is it none, some, or a

950
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott so I went

951
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: over this in the preseason. Wilson was on my don't

952
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: draft list in our preseason show. He disappears in the

953
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: second half of season. Uh Final eight games of average

954
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: two hundred five yards and passing in thirty three rushing.

955
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: The final eleven games of one last year average two

956
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: D and One yards and thirteen yards rushing. That's the

957
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: big problem. He doesn't run the ball anymore and if

958
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: you watch it doesn't look like he's good at running

959
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: the balling. But look, he's looking old. He's he's a

960
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards. Last year, H man, it dropped down

961
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: to I lost in my notes, but it dropped down considerably.

962
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: Over half, over half. He lost the next year. Um,

963
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: this year, five rushing yards in two games. That part

964
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: of his game is gone. He's not the quarterback he

965
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: was anymore. Denver has talent around him, but they had

966
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: talent around him in the end of last season, in

967
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: Seattle last year too. Um, in his last nineteen games

968
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: he's averaging ten rushing yards per game. People see Russell

969
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Wilson and dream about the Super Bowl Ross with marshawn

970
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: and the Legion of boom boom. They don't see what

971
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: he did at the end of last year. They don't

972
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: see what he's doing early this year. This is who

973
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: he is now. I think it's blowed. Brian. What's the

974
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Russell Wilson? Is it none,

975
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: some loosening blow of existential dread? I agree with everything

976
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: Scott said, but I'm not blowed on Russ just yet.

977
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he does have he's not gonna run as

978
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: much spike. He's got playmakers in Sutton and Jerry Judy

979
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: and they're thrown to Javonte Williams a ton. As I

980
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. He leads all running backs in the target

981
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: share percentage and he's electured with the ball in his hands.

982
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: So Russ is gonna do it on his own like

983
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: he did in Seattle. But he's got he's got the

984
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: playmakers around him. So for now I'm at some but

985
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: but blowed. I'm on blowed watch, but I'm not there,

986
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: just blowed watch. The correct answer is some. I think

987
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot of it just depends on what you're expecting.

988
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: When you drafted Russell, drafted him his QB seven and

989
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: twa and car and cousins or went in the early teens.

990
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: And if we go back to this date last year,

991
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: week three of last year, he's quarterback fourteen and and

992
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 1: and that's you know, okay, that's you know, that's about

993
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: that's just who Russell Wilson is right now. Am I

994
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: do you go full blown blowed on quarterback fourteen? No,

995
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: that's it's not that bad yet. Um, he often complained.

996
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: You guys already hit a lot of my talking points.

997
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: We wanted to mention this. Um. He's often complained about

998
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: his poorest offensive line in Seattle, which was accurate profootball

999
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: focus grades. The Denver Offensive Line is the second best

1000
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: past blocking units so far. U Kj Hammler may return

1001
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: this week. Jerry Judy may return, and it looks like

1002
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: both of them are going to be back by next

1003
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: week and I think that's I think with those guys

1004
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: coming back at in courtland Sutton, who's already there, unhealthy

1005
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: at that point. I think the level of appropriate level

1006
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: of concern for Russell Wilson is just some. It absolutely is.

1007
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: I just here's what you really wanted. You just wanted

1008
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: some affirmation. Is All you wanted. You're right. The Jaguars

1009
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: take on the chargers. Brian Uh this has been a

1010
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: it's been a shocking turn of events for James Robinson,

1011
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: who I had zero interest in drafting because of the Achilles.

1012
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: And as bad as cam acres has looked off his Achilles,

1013
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: James Robinson has looked equally good. Yeah, I was with you,

1014
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: but yeah, under the circumstances of coming back from a

1015
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: torn Achilles, Robinson looked great last week with sixty four

1016
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: rushing yards and a touchdown. But what's crazy is he

1017
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: had sixty five rushing yards after contact. Sixty four rushing yards.

1018
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: What a Comeback Story. So far, three total touchdowns. Already

1019
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: decent matchup against the chargers this week. They're only yielding

1020
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing attempts to bring game, but they're allowing five

1021
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. But Robinson, he's almost a

1022
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: bell cow right now. We'll get into Travis Eton in

1023
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: a second, but I gotta be on Robinson just a

1024
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: just a see on travis e t N. despite Robinson's resurgence,

1025
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: et n was still involved last week. saw just nine

1026
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: carries to the twenty three from Robinson, but e t

1027
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: n did catch all three of his targets for thirty

1028
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: three yards. That said, J rob had two catches as well,

1029
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: but UH E T N is pro probably the preferred

1030
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: pass catcher out of the Jaguars Backfield, and the chargers

1031
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: have allowed a receiving touchdown to a running back in

1032
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: both games so far. As US et N is startable

1033
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: with the C Christian Kirk, who we just talked about.

1034
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: Don't love the matchup for him this week. Just gonna

1035
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: give him a B here. As I said, he owns

1036
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: scent of Jacksonville's target share. Is Top twelve and tons

1037
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: of metrics, but he does have a tough matchup in

1038
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: H chargers slot corner bryce Callahan, who owns a catch

1039
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: rate of just thirty eight percent and has allowed a

1040
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: passer rating of zero point zero when playing in the slot.

1041
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: So we'll find out if kirk is the real deal

1042
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. For sure, I was going to bench. I'm

1043
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: still gonna bench. The Jones is, Marvin Jones and Z Jones.

1044
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to give one of them to see because, UH,

1045
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: starting corner J C Jackson is gonna miss this game.

1046
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: He missed week one, came back in week two. Probably

1047
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: wasn't ready, but Marvin Jones and Z Jones kind of

1048
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: just equalize each other fulter each other's opportunities. So I

1049
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: have both of those guys on the bench in this game.

1050
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: I Will Give Evan Ingram a C though. The chargers

1051
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: allowed four catches for seventy nine yards at Darren Waller

1052
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: in week one and Travis Kelsey and Noah gray combined

1053
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: for seven catches for sixty three yards against l a

1054
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: last week. So Ingraham gets the C grade. And lastly,

1055
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence looked great last week. I really want to

1056
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: give him a starting grade here, but I do have

1057
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: him on the bench. He's just outside the C C

1058
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: level grade for me. The charters are ranked eighth against

1059
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: the past in D v O A, so a bench

1060
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: this week for Trevor Lawrence. Now were to the chargers side,

1061
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: where things have gotten interesting. On Friday the line moved

1062
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: from L A minus seven to minus three point five,

1063
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: which it suggests to suggests, suggests the sharps know something

1064
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert not playing it. Yeah, uh, did not

1065
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: practice on Friday. Um, yeah, it sounds like he might

1066
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: not go and if he doesn't go, Chase Daniel is

1067
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. But even if Herbert does play, he

1068
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: will be, uh, somewhat limited, probably wearing a flat jacket.

1069
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm under the assumption right now

1070
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: he's not playing, but if he does, you gotta start.

1071
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B. I would give him

1072
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: an a if it wasn't so Mur so murky the situation.

1073
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: But this affects all of his other players, other teammates,

1074
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: of course, Austin Ekeler. I'll give him a B. I

1075
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna give him an a, but now would be. If, if,

1076
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: if Herbert misses, misses this game. Despite matchups against Antonio

1077
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: Gibson and Jonathan Taylor, the Jacksonville run defense has been great,

1078
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: only allowing fifty nine rushing yards per game to opposing backs.

1079
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: That's the sixth fewest, but the Jacks are allowing the

1080
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: second most receiving yards to the position, sixty nine per game,

1081
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: and last week Ekela saw a double digit target, so

1082
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: he remains a dual threat. Um Now to the wide receivers.

1083
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, his status is up in the air. Um

1084
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: He did not play last week with the hamstring injury.

1085
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: He's basically been called a coin flip chance of playing.

1086
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: I'M gonna go under the assumption he doesn't go either,

1087
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: because if Herbert's out, you might as well not throw

1088
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen out there and get hurt. So I'M gonna

1089
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: say he's I'm gonna assume he's out. So He's on

1090
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: the bench for me now. If he ends up suiting up,

1091
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: I'll give him a b just because he's Keenan Allen.

1092
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: You can't bank on that just yet. So Mike Williams,

1093
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him an a even if Alan plays.

1094
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: If Alan is out, I'll still give Williams an a,

1095
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: even if chase Daniel is the quarterback, though I don't know.

1096
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: This is has gotten really messy, but Williams average two

1097
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: point four yards per route run last week, which is elite.

1098
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,479
Speaker 1: Jacksonville held indie's no name wide receivers in check last week,

1099
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: but that's nothing to write home about. Washington's wide houtse

1100
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: total the hundred and fifty plus yards and four touchdowns

1101
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville Week one. So Williams gets today either way.

1102
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer, you gonna give him a see if keen

1103
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: and Alan is out. He saw eight targets last week

1104
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown. Deandre Carter is still a thing,

1105
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: but Palmer is the guy you want to start if

1106
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: Alan remains out. And lastly, Gerald Everett, just to see

1107
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: for him this week. He gets a bump when Alan

1108
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: is out, but it's not a great matchup on paper

1109
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: for Everett. The Jaguars surrendered the ninth fewest tight end

1110
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year and so far this season they've allowed

1111
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: just seven catches for scoreless yards across two games. I

1112
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: hope you played Justin the air, bear Herbert, though. Yeah,

1113
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: what's I know, how come there make an appearance in

1114
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: this game? We hope that's the case. If you've missed

1115
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: any part of this show and you want to go

1116

Speaker 1: Gui teen league if you'd like. When we come back,

1120
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: Ravens take on the Patriots. Will tell you for Shod

1121
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: Bateman can remain red hot when we return fantasy football weekly.

1122
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: Welcome back fantasy football weekly. Paul charchy and Scott Fish

1123
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. Next matchup up is ravens

1124
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: taking onto the Patriots, and for the Ravens we've got

1125
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: a couple of obvious a's Lamar Jackson is the highest

1126
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: scoring fantasy quarterback in many leagues. You're obviously gonna start him,

1127
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: although it is a tricky year matchup than what he

1128
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: has seen so far this year, and Marco Andrew's obvious

1129
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: a as well at the tight end position. Let's go

1130
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: to some of the thorniers starts, including Rashad Bateman touchdowns

1131
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: of fifty five and seventy five yards, which I did

1132
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily expect coming into this season. Last week he

1133
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: posted the second fastest speed of any ball carrier. Patriots

1134
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: secondary influx after losing star cornerback J C Jackson in

1135
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: the off season, but has played pretty well, allowing just

1136
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: one and one passing touchdown in the two games so far.

1137
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: Bateman will show down with Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones most often.

1138
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Jones has allowed four of six targets to be completed

1139
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: this year and last year he was pro football focuses

1140
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: one ranked cornerback. So I like Bateman to stay hot.

1141
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on him and a sneaky

1142
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: play with Devin Duvernay. He scored twice in week one,

1143
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: then last week he suffered a concussion. He's cleared that

1144
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and he will return for this game and he did

1145
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: get a touchdown returned last week. Yes, uh Duvernesse, the

1146
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: team's leading slot receiver by a lot, and slot cornerback

1147
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: jalen mills by far the weakest link of the Patriots Secondary,

1148
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: and currently jalen mills ranks dead last in quarterback ranking

1149
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: by pro football focus. He has allowed a touchdown and

1150
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty two yards in his coverage already. C

1151
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: grade on Devin Duvernay, H J K Dobbins and all

1152
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: the other runners are on the bench. Dobbins won't get

1153
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: enough use in his first game back and the other

1154
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: runners are just horrible, averaging a combined two and a

1155
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: half yards per carry. Let's go to the Patriots side.

1156
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Damien Harris A grade. Teams haven't been running on the Ravens,

1157
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: as they're seeing just seventeen rushing attempts per game to

1158
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. That seventh few ut but they should

1159
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: be running more because they're giving up five yards per carry,

1160
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: and that's come against the dolphins and the jets. These

1161
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: are not great backfields. Pro Football Focus ranks the Patriots

1162
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: is the fourth best run blocking line and you're gonna

1163
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: see a lot of carries from Damien Harris in this game.

1164
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Remandre Stevenson saw a big uptick in snaps last week

1165
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: and fifteen more than Harris actually got last week. Still,

1166
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Harris got fifty percent more touches than Stevenson did, but

1167
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: it was good to see Stevenson getting on the field.

1168
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore is allowed the second most receptions and the third

1169
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to runners, so maybe this is finally

1170
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: the game. We talked all preseason about Stevenson getting more receptions.

1171
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it all comes together here. It feels like this

1172
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: could be the case. A C grade on Romandre Stevenson.

1173
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game for the Patriots, Mac

1174
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Jones gets a B grade. Baltimore is allowed the most

1175
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points to quarterbacks, and that's saying a lot, considering

1176
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks have not run on them really at all.

1177
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: It's all come through the air. Baltimore has given up

1178
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: the most passing touchdowns, the most yards and the most completions,

1179
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of that was to a last week,

1180
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: but still. Joe flacco pasted the ravens for three D

1181
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: yards in the opener as well. Ravens secondary has got

1182
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. Kyler fuller, Kyle Fuller out,

1183
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey hurt, Marcus Peters trying to get his sea

1184
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: legs back. There's a lot of reasons to like Mac

1185
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: Jones in the passing game. In this one, Jacoby Myers

1186
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: looks to build on an impressive outing from last week,

1187
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: finishing with yards as highest finished in two years. Myers

1188
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: currently leads the team and targets Um. He's found mainly

1189
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: in the slot, where you can have uh, where he'll

1190
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of fourth round rookie cornerback de Marian Williams,

1191
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: who has been struggling, including yielding two touchdowns last week

1192
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: in a catch rate of six. We'll put a C

1193
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: grade on Jacoby Myers and a C grade on Nelson

1194
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: aglar who's posted is once once a month. Blow up

1195
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: game last week, but maybe he banks October, now the

1196
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: favorable matchup here. He's always a dart throw but, as

1197
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned, this is a lot of moving parts in

1198
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: this raven secondary and I don't mind going back to

1199
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: back with Nelson AGL are in this game as well.

1200
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next matchup, and that

1201
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: is rams taking on the cardinals. Scott, what have you

1202
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 1: got on the Ram side? Yes, the Stafford's gonna get

1203
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: in a grade once again. gave him one last week.

1204
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: He bounced back last week. Gets cardinals team ranked against

1205
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks after allowing six hundred plus yards and seven scores

1206
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. Uh Stafford had two plus

1207
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: yards and multiple scores in both games against cards last year.

1208
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I feel like that's well within his scope for this

1209
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: one here, with an over under around fifty points. His

1210
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Breakfast Buddy Cooper Cup, is an obvious A. Allen Robinson

1211
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. He would have had two touchdowns

1212
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: if not for an unrelated penalty. Last week. He's running

1213
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: broutent of his drawbacks. Has Been on the field for

1214
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: all but five offensive snaps. He's always out there. The

1215
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: opportunities there. It's gonna come. I've gotten a grade for

1216
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee, who leads the NFL and targets. Yeah, at

1217
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: the tight end position, with twenty and two weeks and

1218
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: that's eleven and nine. It's not like yet one huge

1219
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: game and then a dot. NOPE, consistent targets there. This

1220
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: card's team just led Travis Kelsey and Darren Wallard loose

1221
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: for a hundred and seventy one yards and two scores

1222
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, but even the backups had

1223
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: forty one yards and a score. Tyler higbee gets it all.

1224
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Ten plus target game or ten target game here could

1225
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: be because should easily be in a grade. Over to

1226
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the running game for the Rams, I have Darryl Henderson

1227
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: with a C grade and acres with a bench grade.

1228
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: The cardinals have allowed a hundred forty five yards per

1229
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: game to back so far, but a third of that

1230
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: is through the air and that's more Henderson's game. Henderson

1231
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: had seven had uh lead in touches eighteen to three

1232
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: weeks in week one, Cam acres lead in touches, seventeen

1233
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: to ten, and week two, but it should be noted

1234
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: Henderson played more snaps. He played double double the snaps

1235
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: inside the ten. He played the third down role and

1236
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: he played the two minute drill role. Henderson really played

1237
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: more acres, just got touches on the snaps he did play.

1238
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: So it's more of Henderson's role. I'm giving him the

1239
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: SE grade acres the bench over to the cardinals side. Uh,

1240
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: kyler Murray got a B grade. My favorite court of

1241
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: the week was a scouting report the surface that compared

1242
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Murray running around, Murray's running ability in college to be

1243
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: to running around like a toddler who stole his parents phone,

1244
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: which I thought was it seems that when you watch

1245
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: it it kind of looks like that. Uh, that's said weirdly.

1246
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: He has had less than thirty rushing yards in each

1247
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: game this year, but as Mobile Mobile Allen and Mark

1248
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Marcus Mariotta showed that decent ground days

1249
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: had multiple touchdowns. Murray playing from behind. I think his

1250
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: season average of tune and thirty five yards and two

1251
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: scores is probably about where we'll see him in this one.

1252
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: That's a B grade for me. Greg George leads the

1253
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: team and targets, receptions, yards and died for and gain. Yeah,

1254
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: with with Hopkins Out, I guess he is filling the

1255
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: void in a in a game with a nearly fifty

1256
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: point total over under the cardinals playing from behind. Dorte

1257
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: should find another day similar in that, you know, four

1258
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: to five catches, forty fifty yards. I got a C

1259
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: grade on him. C grade on Brown as well, who's

1260
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,479
Speaker 1: gone forty plus in his score in week one, six

1261
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: for sixty eight in week two, but the eleven targets

1262
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: last week makes you feel a little bit more confident

1263
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: about him. He's playing over of snaps, running routes of time. Um,

1264
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: he might see a lot of Ramsey, but that hasn't

1265
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: been a deathbell in the first two weeks. So I

1266
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 1: got a C grade on Brown. Zach Ertz. I gotta

1267
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: be grade here. Rams ranked second against tight ends so far,

1268
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: but they faced Dawson Knox and Kyle Pitts and that's

1269
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: just that's that's really do the right home about so far.

1270
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: Um Earth's went five for forty, two on seven targets

1271
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: last last year against this team and now that he's healthy,

1272
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: he should be in line for more targets. As for

1273
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: the running game, James Conner and that injury, he's questionable.

1274
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: He may not go. He they said he was day

1275
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: to day. He may not go. If he does go,

1276
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I can see a C grade because he's likely to

1277
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: have a double digit touch touch workload here. Um Andy

1278
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: does get pass catching. If he doesn't, Williams and Benjamin

1279
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: are on the bench. They really suit. They split down

1280
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the line almost every metric. So that's that's what we hate.

1281
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: His fantasy on it. Honestly, I would probably bench connor too,

1282
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: because if he does go, maybe he's gimp in. They split.

1283
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: So's changing. You're changing connor to he starts. Yeah, I

1284
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: I flipped it. Now that's stuff more definitive. I like that.

1285
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Falcons take on the SEAHAWKS. Brian and we've already mentioned

1286
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: three Falcons back from take a chance on me. That

1287
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: really basically only leaves Kyle Pitts. So let us start

1288
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: the Kyle Pitts apologist and cordarrel Patterson and drake London

1289
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and now. But let's start with cordarrel Patterson. I want

1290
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: to start with Pitts. We'll start with Patterson. His touch

1291
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: total went way down last week, but I think we

1292
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: see him bounce back this week. Uh. The seahawks have

1293
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: allowed three running backs to the top sotal seventy total

1294
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: yards and have surrendered the third most receptions the position

1295
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier and take on. They will also be

1296
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: without safety Jamal Adams, who was PFF's thirteenth best run

1297
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: defender last week. So I have a B on Corderol Patterson.

1298
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I've tyler Algiers might take a chance wain running back.

1299
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: I still think he factors in this game for all

1300
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the reasons I just mentioned. For Patterson, I like the

1301
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: matchup for him. I also like to match up for

1302
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: Drake London. He gets to be he looks like a

1303
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: home run so far for the Falcons. Owns a thirty

1304
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: three point three percent target share in his top twelve

1305
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: in yards per route run. San Francisco's wide receivers didn't

1306
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 1: do much against Seattle last week, but they didn't really

1307
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: have to. In Week one. The seahawks surrendered a hundred

1308
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,679
Speaker 1: and seventy plus yards and a touchdown to Denver's wide receivers.

1309
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: Now over to Atlanta's other wide receiver, who you can

1310
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: play at tight end, Kyle Pitts gets an a in

1311
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the sneaky wheel game. Talking this into the universe. It's coming.

1312
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: So we have it is awful. I don't really like that,

1313
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: but well, let's just say the words and not listen

1314
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: to the sounds. Anyway. Pitts has had two brutal matchups

1315
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to start the season in the saints and the Rams.

1316
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: He finally gets a soft place to land in Seattle,

1317
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: who allowed seven catches for eighty five yards to Denver's

1318
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: tight ends in week one and surrendered a touchdown to

1319
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Ross dwelly last week. And, as mentioned, there will be

1320
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: without stars, if you Jamal Adams. So Kyle Pitts will

1321
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: pay off this week. He gets the A grade. And

1322
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta, I love him. In the sneaky matchup, as

1323
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: you charge, he was gonna take a chance on me.

1324
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: quarterback over to the Seattle side, I do not love

1325
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the running backs, for shot Penny or Kenneth Walker the

1326
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: third they're both on the bench. Penny's snapchat dip to

1327
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: forty one percent last week, so the time share is

1328
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: officially on. I can't recommend starting either guy, especially with

1329
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: Travis homer stealing work on passing down. So let's just

1330
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: wait and see. With the seahawks running back situation, DK

1331
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Metcalf Tyler Lockett, I can give both of them to

1332
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: be met tests. Usage has been has been puzzling. His

1333
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: a dot is just five point five yards and he

1334
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a red zone target yet. But this is

1335
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: a good matchup for both. Lockett has been the big

1336
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: play receivers so far. Atlanta's corners are not great, uh

1337
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: a J Tarrell or Terrell. A J Terrell owns a

1338
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: two pass rating in his coverage and, although Casey Haywards

1339
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: is better than that, his pass rating in coverages one

1340
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: oh six. So at metcalf and Lockett have decent games

1341
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: in this one, and for those reasons I like Geno Smith.

1342
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C grade. He has failed

1343
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: the top two d passing yards in both games, but

1344
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: he has been efficient, completing over of his passes. Was

1345
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: Zero Interceptions. Uh Smith understandably struggled against the forty niners

1346
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 1: last week, but this is a much better matchup for

1347
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: him at home against the Falcons. Over the first two games,

1348
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: ATLANTA has surrendered two hundred sixty nine yards and two

1349
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns to James Winston and last week Matt Stafford went

1350
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: off for two seventy two and three scorers. I think.

1351
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Just give you this, the highest scoring game, sneaky high

1352
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: scoring game, highest game of the week. It's crazy talk

1353
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: eagles taking on the commanders. Jalen hurts, a J Brown,

1354
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, all obvious a's and we do not spend

1355
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: any more time on them. Let's talk about some of

1356
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the other eagles, though. There's three other startable eagles beyond

1357
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 1: those three, including miles sanders, who clocks in with a

1358
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: B grade. Washington giving up almost seven yards per carry,

1359
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: and sanders is a near lock for a big yardage

1360
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: game here. Last week he reached eighty rushing yards for

1361
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: the fourth time in his last five games going back

1362
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: to last year. Dominates the snaps and the usage among

1363
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: the eagles runners. touchdowns remain elusive with his quarterback housing

1364
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: all those easy runs, and that's the only reason miles

1365
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: sanders is not an a grade is because of the

1366
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,799
Speaker 1: improbability of a touchdown. But the yardage is so secure

1367
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: here for Sanders, a B grade for him. Let's go

1368
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: to the other running back, Kenneth Gainwell, if you're in

1369
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: a pinch consider him. In the two games, Washington has

1370
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 1: played four different runners of top sixty yards, so the

1371
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: depth runners are also getting paid against Washington. I would

1372
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: take sixty yards from gaine well, and that's why he's

1373
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: got a C grade in this matchup. The last guy

1374
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is Davanta Smith. Washington has

1375
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 1: been gashed by opposing passing attacks, largely due to the

1376
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: struggles of cornerbacks Kendall Fuller and William Jackson, but most

1377
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: of the damage has been done by a singular number

1378
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: one receiver. That is a J Brown for sure. Smith

1379
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: averaged three receptions for forty seven yards against two late

1380
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: season matchups with Washington last year. I think he does

1381
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: a little better than forty seven yards, enough to get

1382
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: him into see range in this game. Washington side. We

1383
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: got a handful of sea grades to talk about here

1384
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,879
Speaker 1: in a tough matchup with a very good eagles defense,

1385
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, who has been, you know, red hot, and

1386
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 1: the recipe for success for Wentz is kind of still

1387
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: in play here. An Awful Commander's defense ranks twenty nine

1388
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: and points allowed. Then Wentz has to battle back with

1389
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,720
Speaker 1: tons of throws. He's thrown the third most passes, which

1390
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,839
Speaker 1: has led to his improbable league leading seven touchdown passes.

1391
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: Almost certainly the eagles are going to score a bunch

1392
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: of points here and Wentz is gonna have to throw

1393
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: a ton just through sheer volume. He gets to C

1394
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: grade in this one. The receiver I would start is

1395
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: not Terry mclarin, he's on the bench, not Johan Dotson,

1396
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: who's on the bench. It's Curtis Samuel. Only four wide

1397
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: receivers have a fewer target air yards per route than Samuel's,

1398
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: but he's so athletic he still manages to separate. He's

1399
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: got the seventh best four and a half yards per

1400
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: separate Asian, even though he's getting short passes his way.

1401
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: So Athletic cornerbacks Darius slay and James bradberry tranquilize outside receivers,

1402
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: which is why McClaurin and Dotson around the bench. But

1403
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Samuel attacks the slot and that's a much better matchup.

1404
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Will face off against Savante maddox and C J Gardner Johnson.

1405
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: I like that matchup for Samuel. C grade on him.

1406
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: And lastly, Antonio Gibson. Hard to know where you stand

1407
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: with Antonio Gibson, you look great in week one than

1408
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: inexplicably crashed against the lions in week two, including giving

1409
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: up seven receptions that j d mcsuckett. The Eagles have

1410
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: only allowed three running backs to surpass sixty rushing yards

1411
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: in their last ten games, so I don't think he's

1412
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: even gonna get to necessarily sixty yards here. And the

1413
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: run defense got even better when they drafted Jordan Davis,

1414
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: who was already sitting at a top twenty ranking against

1415
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the run for in Tier alignement says a really. It's

1416
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: a tough spot for Antonio Gibson, but I think he

1417
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: cobbles together a sea level game here with fifty ish

1418
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: rushing yards, maybe ten receiving yards and I don't know,

1419
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,799
Speaker 1: coin flips chance at a touchdown one way or another.

1420
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: So one way or another we'll help because that uh

1421
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson can just do enough to be quasi salient here.

1422
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: It's all we get. When we come back premature speculation,

1423
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: we'll tell you pick up this week. That will be

1424
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: people everybody else is trying to pick up next week,

1425
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: but they're already on your roster because you listen to

1426
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: fantasy football weekly. Welcome back, this is a segment we

1427
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: like to call premature speculation. We're gonna give you three

1428
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: players to pick up this week that everybody else will

1429
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week. Scott got yeah,

1430
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm going with Brian Robinson, who returned to practice this week.

1431
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: He was slated to be the starter for Washington before

1432
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: being tragically shot right well, maybe tragically shot right before

1433
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: the season. He was shot. That's not that's a fact.

1434
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: He was dropped in a ton of league so many

1435
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: he was only thirty three percent rostered earlier this week.

1436
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Now thirty seven percent roster, as news is starting to

1437
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: pick up. Go get him now, before next week when

1438
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: he's on those waiver runs like that. Uh, Brian, your

1439
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 1: premature speculation player. I'll make it short and sweet. Go

1440
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Grab Michael Gallup. He's only thirty three percent owned leagues

1441
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: right now. He might play this week. I hope he

1442
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: doesn't because any of you going on a short week's

1443
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: rest next week. He plays Monday night, but he should

1444
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: be back soon for Dallas. Cincinnati Tight End Hayden Hurst

1445
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: is available and eighty two percent of leagues plays in

1446
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: a high octane offense. He's run the seventh most routes

1447
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: of all players. He's has had seven targets in both games,

1448
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 1: ranking him seventh among all tight ends and targets. So

1449
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: plenty of use in a high octane offense. And IF

1450
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: KYLE PITTS GOES belly up one more time, you're gonna

1451
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: be hitting the waiver wire looking for a new tight end.

1452
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to the San Francisco Forty niners taking on

1453
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: the broncos. Scott. Yeah, this is an interesting one because

1454
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 1: the forty niners have played the bears and seahawks. The

1455
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: broncos have played the Texans and Seahawks, so neither team

1456
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: has been really truly matched, truly truly tested, I should say.

1457
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: Going back to last year, though, the Broncos only allowed

1458
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: six multi score days and they held ten passers under

1459
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty yards, six passers under two undred yards. Weirdly,

1460
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, almost the same

1461
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: exact stats for that defense. Both defenses were top ten

1462
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 1: against the quarterbacks last year. I Have Jimmy G on

1463
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: the bench, but I think he should concentrate his targets

1464
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: enough just to uh, just to make a few viable

1465
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: players here. Deebo Samuel, I have a B grade on

1466
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: despite the low yardage days, he's had fifty plus rushing

1467
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: yards in each game tacked on a score. If he

1468
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: runs for three eight yards this year he gets an

1469
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: extra six. So I think he's trying to do that

1470
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: by Halloween to throw a party or something. Be Great

1471
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: on Debo, just because he's so very stone he gets

1472
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: just enough targets that he should make it work. Brendan, I,

1473
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: Youk have a C grade on it's a note that

1474
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: broncos allowed to plays over twenty five yards in each

1475
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: game um, but they haven't allowed a wide receiver over

1476
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: sixty yards yet. Brendon, I, you a lot of air

1477
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: yards so far this year and he's accounted for a

1478
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: twenty five plus yard play in each week. Patrick's certain

1479
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: might miss the game too, so that that should open

1480
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:39,560
Speaker 1: things up. George kittle back off the injury report. B

1481
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: grade on him. You're starting him if he goes, because

1482
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: when he goes, even injured, he produces. He had eight catches.

1483
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: The broncos allowed eight catches the tight ends in week one,

1484
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,719
Speaker 1: six last week. That should be all kittle here. Jeff

1485
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. B grade there. UH, fifteen plus carries and

1486
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: a couple of catches last week. That's basically his usage

1487
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: when he's a starting running back the broncos. Rashad penny

1488
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 1: averaged five yards per cary against that broncos front. UH,

1489
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: Damian pierced averaged four point six yards per carry. The

1490
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: you give me fifteen plus touches of Jeff's Jeff Wilson,

1491
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,799
Speaker 1: at those clips, I gotta be grade there. Russell Wilson,

1492
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned before that the foint ires defenses were basically

1493
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: top ten last year. He doesn't get rushing yards anymore.

1494
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at a two yard or so

1495
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: and maybe a score day. It's a bench grade. I

1496
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: haven't missed my QB sixteen this week. Uh, courtland Sutton, though,

1497
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I get. I gotta B grade for him if judy

1498
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: is out and KJ Hamler doesn't go, which it sounds

1499
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: like that's where they're leaning right now, but you mentioned

1500
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: it might flip. You never know. Uh, if if they

1501
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: don't go, he's gonna get all the targets. They are

1502
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: really a one in and one B, though. So if

1503
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Judy does go, I'm giving him a C grade based

1504
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: on what he did week one. UH, he had even

1505
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: in week too at eleven yard, catching three targets right

1506
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,560
Speaker 1: away and before going out with that knee injury. The

1507
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: tight ends are on your bench. They are splitting way

1508
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: too much for the running backs. Javonte Williams B grade.

1509
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 1: His snaps increased a ton. In Week two. He managed

1510
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,719
Speaker 1: to touch the ball uh eighteen times for a hundred

1511
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: eight yards. In Week One, sixteen times for eighty five

1512
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: yards in a week too. The big deal is Melvin

1513
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: Gordon dropped his snaps almost in half for week too,

1514
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: but he's still managed seventy two yards and fifty three yards.

1515
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: He's still getting a secret because he gets he gets

1516
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: some goal line work and fifty plus yards. If he's

1517
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: getting eight to ten touches, that's bordering on a C

1518
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: grade against the defense that's allowing about thirty running back

1519
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: touches per game. So be great for Javonty Williams, C

1520
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: grade for Gordon. I don't even love the secret on

1521
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: Gordon Bay is getting it. Let's go to the cowboys

1522
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: and giants. Brian Cowboys offense a little better under cooper

1523
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: rush than what people expected. Zeke did very little last week.

1524
01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,759
Speaker 1: What do you see in this game against the giants?

1525
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: Starting with Zeke. He's looking pretty washed. He's forced just

1526
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: one miss tackle so far, so that's terrible. Just to

1527
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: see for Zeke it is. It should be a good matchup, though.

1528
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: The giants have give him an up over five yards

1529
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: per carry and maybe without the defensive tackle Leonard Williams,

1530
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: who left last week's game with the leg injuries. So

1531
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: see for Zeke and a sea for Tony Pollard. But

1532
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: I like Tony Pollard more than Zeke and and most

1533
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,839
Speaker 1: should at this point. Pollard turned it, turned his thirteen

1534
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: touches into nine eight comboy yards and a touchdown last week.

1535
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: He basically just needs to get the ball more. I

1536
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: think he'll be very active in this game. New York

1537
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: has in the past game. New York has allowed the

1538
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: eighth most receiving yards and the most receiving touchdowns. are

1539
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: running back so far this season. Over to the wide receivers,

1540
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: for Dallas CEEDEE, lamb gets a B had a decent

1541
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: game with Cooper Cooper rush under center last week. I

1542
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: don't think the giants secondary is anywhere near the level

1543
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: of the bengals and in four career games against the giants,

1544
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: lamb is averaging six catches and seventy five yards. I

1545
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: think that's a safe floor for him on Monday night.

1546
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: and and Noah Brown startable unless Michael Gallup comes back,

1547
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think if he will, it won't be found.

1548
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: He won't be yeah, he won't be playing the snaps.

1549
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: Noah Brown has five catches in both games start the season,

1550
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: including a touchdown last week. He has emerged as a

1551
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver for for the cowboys as of now,

1552
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: and I think he has some of that second string

1553
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: chemistry with Cooper Rush, you know, where they probably ate

1554
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of breakfast together in the in the preseason. UH,

1555
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. He might play through his knee injury Um,

1556
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: but since it's a Monday night game, I gotta put

1557
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: him on the bench. There's not many pivot options at

1558
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: tight end between Dallas and the giants, so you want

1559
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,560
Speaker 1: to get your backup plan in place right now. I

1560
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 1: would just anticipate Schultz on the real life bench and

1561
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: on your fantasy bench as well. And Cooper Rush. The

1562
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,759
Speaker 1: Cup always wants to come out after Cooper. Cooper rush

1563
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: played well last week over in the winter of the bengals.

1564
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Bes on the bench in this one and over to

1565
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: the giant side. Not a lot to talk about. See

1566
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Kawan Barkley, we will talk about. Of course he gets

1567
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: an a. He has seen overcent of the backfield touches.

1568
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: The cowboys have not surrendered to running back touchdown yet,

1569
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: but they have allowed the tenth most rushing yards to

1570
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: the position. They'll ride Barkley as much as they can

1571
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: in this game. Sterling Shepherd can give him a see.

1572
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: He's healthy for now, so you might as well take advantage.

1573
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: He's seencent target share, which is also very healthy, and

1574
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: should continue to operate as a giant's wide receiver one

1575
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: so he gets to see, as did Richie James. I'm

1576
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: rich James might take a chance to me wide receiver.

1577
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 1: I like him a lot this week, with Ka Darius

1578
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Tony expected to sit with the Hammy. And lastly, we're

1579
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 1: not going to talk about New York's tight ends, and

1580
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: especially not about their quarterback, Daniel Jones. They're all on

1581
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: the bench. They are on the bench. Um, yeah, let's

1582
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: go to the let's go to the I think our

1583
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: final game on the matchup slate here is packers bucks.

1584
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk those through. It's uh, it's a it's a

1585
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: weird one. There are combined nine wide receiver injuries and

1586
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is suspended between these two games and it's

1587
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: a late afternoon starts. You you may be lacking a

1588
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: lot of its solid information when you need to set

1589
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: your lineup on these guys. Aaron Rodgers just the C grade.

1590
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: Four of his top five whiteouts are on the injury report.

1591
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: In Tampa is an excellent past defense, will excellent run

1592
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: defense to Um that's held its opponents to one total

1593
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: touchdown in two games. So I can only muster a

1594
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: C grade for Rogers, and that's on the assumption Alan

1595
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Lalon lazard even plays, of which I think he will.

1596
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: For this game. He'll face off against cornerbacks Jamal Dean

1597
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 1: and Carlton Davis, who have combined to already see a

1598
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: whopping thirty five targets on them, but between them just

1599
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 1: two interceptions they've had. They've got they've had two interceptions,

1600
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: they've had four passes broken up. They've only given up

1601
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: the one touchdown so far. You're hoping for the short

1602
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: touchdown from Alan lazard with a C grade on him.

1603
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs is a DART throw. You'RE gonna see a

1604
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: big uptick in playing time here. He's the one healthy receiver.

1605
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: If you want to throw a dart, you t would

1606
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: be the guy to throw it at, although this is

1607
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: still a very tough matchup against a good past defense.

1608
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on Romeo Dobbs. Aaron Jones

1609
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: and a J dillon share a C grade between them.

1610
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: Jones has been the better runner, but this is such

1611
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: a good run defense it's hard to start a workhorse

1612
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,719
Speaker 1: back against the bucks, let alone Jones and dillons sharing

1613
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: work here. The bucks have only allowed one rushing touchdown

1614
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs in their last seven regular season games,

1615
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: and none this year. No back is top sixty three

1616
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: total yards are caught more than two passes against them

1617
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: this year. So all I can do is give you

1618
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: the C great on Jones and Dylan and only one

1619
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: of them is even gonna earn the sea. The other

1620
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: one is going to have a bad game in all probability.

1621
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: On the buck side, I don't think I've ever said this.

1622
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Bench Tom Brady and I have none of his receivers

1623
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: as a starting grade. HEAVANS is out, Godwins, almost certainly

1624
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: won't play. Julio Jones are saying is a ruled him out.

1625
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: Julio Jones a game time decision, but I think that's

1626
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of Flim Flam to keep the packers guessing.

1627
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go. So that means we're

1628
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: looking at an injured Russell gauge and injured, injured Breshad

1629
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Perriman and Scottie Miller and the newly acquired Cole Beasley.

1630
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: I can't start any of those guys against a good

1631
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: packers secondary. None of them make any sense to me.

1632
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Is Tyler Johnson that bad? Well, he's not even but

1633
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: you know your start left tackle for the bucks, by

1634
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: the way, Donovan Smith may not play and his backup,

1635
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Josh Wells, may not play either. To add to the

1636
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:11,520
Speaker 1: injury woes for that offensive line. Leonard Four net registered

1637
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: an eight seven percent snap share. That is uh last week.

1638
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: That's the second highest of the of anybody last week.

1639
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,719
Speaker 1: Green Bay has been eviscerated by Dalvin Cook and David

1640
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: Montgomery so far this year and they've each gone over

1641
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: ninety yards rushing, but they haven't given up a touchdown

1642
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 1: yet to running back and they've held all opposing backs

1643
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: to just seven total receptions. Remember Leonard, for not, used

1644
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a reception hog. That's that is not materialized

1645
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: this year at all. But I can see some dump

1646
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: off stuff coming from Brady here. As he's under a

1647
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of dress behind that bad offense, doesn't he have

1648
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: to throw to somebody, and maybe that's gonna be him?

1649
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. I think that is our last matchup. Yeah,

1650
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: that is our last matchup. We actually have a little

1651
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: extra time, which is awfully nice. Let me ask you

1652
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: a couple of packers related questions. What would you what

1653
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: at this point? What is your level of con cern

1654
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers in a passing offense that at this

1655
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: point it's not looked very sharp? I wasn't too high

1656
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: on him going into the season. He was definitely outside

1657
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: my top twelve quarterbacks and that's I think that's where

1658
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna remain. He just he misses Davante Adams. It's

1659
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: that simple. And Green Bay has got a good defense

1660
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: and a great run game and I think that's their

1661
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: new identity. It's not Rogers, not rodgers is gonna be,

1662
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: I think, in and out of starting lineups this year,

1663
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: and he's also hallucinating half the time. Who knows how

1664
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: often he's popping those shroll yeah, it's out there. It

1665
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 1: does feel like it's the start to the end of

1666
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 1: that era. The Rogers, the Russell Wilson, Tom Brady Etter.

1667
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Where we'RE gonna they're more, you know, matchup plays than

1668
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: they are just automatic starts. Now are we gonna have

1669
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: take a chance on me with Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady?

1670
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: He combined seven M v P s between them. Probably not,

1671
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: just because of their rostership percentage will be like everybody's.

1672
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I'd start all our taking on quarterbacks over both

1673
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: of those guys. I Have Marcus Mariotta ranked like twelve

1674
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: this week. Neither of these. I think they're both in

1675
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: the twenties. So yeah, I think that's the case. By

1676
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: the way, you can check out all my player ranking
