WEBVTT - Where In The World Is Crocky-J? 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.920 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:11.120 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:15.840 source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.000 along with the guys from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:21.880 your host, Paul Jargian. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.960 Welcome to a week three edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.560 I am Paul Jarchi and my co host today Scott 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.440 Fish and Ryan Johnson. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.920 Just like last week, that Wow, that was a lot 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.159 of energy. Charge a lot of energy. By the way, 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.360 I have a problem. So I was listening to the 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.680 fabulous nine to noon show with you and Paul Allen 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.479 this sevening and I caught you guys talking about biting 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.360 fish heads off or biting the heads off fish. 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.040 That has happened. That has happened. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.120 Then, I don't like the idea of that. No, that 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.600 wasn't about me, was it. You're not that? 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.840 No, No, there was no fish biting in that regard. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.040 What's over all, I have been tempted to take a 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.360 nibble from time to time. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.160 I'm not gonna lie. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.960 No biting fish, No biting fish. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:05.119 But you know what you are going to get. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.679 Yes, fifteen matchups in the next less than two hours, 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.119 broken down fantasy style with letter grades and every player 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.480 that matters take a chance on me. That'll give you 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.560 nine players you can put in your starting lineup that 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.240 you normally would not. Three no, take a chance, Yeah, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.760 and then three tough questions and then premature speculation all 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.160 coming up. Can't wait to dive in. We begin with 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.080 the Chargers taking on the Steelers. Scott, Yeah, I think 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.399 the Steelers are the best overall defense in the NFL. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.559 Pretty dang good, Pretty dang good. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.400 I think I think the other shoe drops for the 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:42.080 Chargers here. 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.160 Yeah. It doesn't help that Justin Herbert is questionable with 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.240 a high ankle sprains if it's Eastern stick even less likely. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.200 Less interested in this Chargers offense this week. But for 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.840 Justin Herbert, I had him on the bench regardless because 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.600 of the defense you just mentioned seventh in pressure rate, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.600 tied for fourth and QB knockdowns, only allowed one offensive 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.000 touchdown through two weeks. They're also second in interceptions and 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.800 third and passes deflected like they're just they're just all 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.200 over it. So I have him on the bench. I 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.480 basically have the whole passing game on the bench. Because 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.280 of that, except for Quentin Johnson, who I'm given a 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.560 C grade too. If Herbert goes, because he is just 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.760 a first read monster. He's a target monster of twenty 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.079 one percent and thirty two percent over the first two weeks, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.040 leads in targets, yards, touchdowns. My only problem, you know 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.960 who he gets? No, who has to line up against 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:30.880 Joey Porter. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:31.600 Joey Porter. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.840 Yeah, ye a tough draw. Yeah, tough draw, yeap. He'll 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.720 only see Joey sixty to seventy percent of the time though, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.480 But Joey Porter. Get this out on Joey Porter. He's 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.720 allowed twenty two completions in his coverage in his nineteen games. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.880 Wow, dang, that's good. Holy wow. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.840 That that is not a lot. So Quentin Johnson is 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.680 going to have to do his work when he avoids him. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.840 I got a C grade there. If Herbert doesn't go, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.880 I might just drop that to a bench. Honestly. In 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.560 the in the running game, I think think they're gonna 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.720 have to run. That's all they they're gonna be able 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.240 to do. I have a B grade on JK. Dobbins, 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.600 less touches than Gus Edwards last week. Actually, in back 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.320 to back Weeds back to back weeks, but averaging six 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.600 plus yards per carry. Uh. In fact, he's the only 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.320 running back with two hundred and fifty plus career carries 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.600 in NFL history to average six plus. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.920 Wow. Yeah, that stat that's yeah, JK. Dobbins. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.600 Yes, first Chargers since Tomlinson to have one hundred and 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.440 thirty plus rushing yards in consecutive games. Steelers have held 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.920 the rushing game rushing me running backs down in both 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.400 games so far by Jean Robinson and Javonte Williams. They 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.440 both did decent work through the air, though, which might 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.320 also be a problems because the Chargers running backs have 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.520 combined for a total of six receiving yards this year. Six. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.960 That's it. That's not three point five yards per carry 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.960 allowed by the Steelers. I have a be on Dobbins. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.839 I have a bench grade on Gus Edwards, who's been 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.800 completely ineffective six point one fantasy points off of nineteen 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.280 touches last week. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.360 As I keep mentioning Kamani Vidal, if Gus is gonna 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.040 keep doing this, Kamani v Doll's eventually gonna start getting 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:09.720 time in this row. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.080 Yeah, absolutely, bench grade on Gus. But if easton stick plays, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.360 I would consider a C grade dart throw because they're 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.080 gonna just have to give it to their running backs 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.200 a whole lot over to the Pittsburgh side. I have 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.080 a bench grade on Justin Fields. I know he can 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.480 get you the running the rushing yards. He's averaging eleven 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.560 for forty two on the ground, but he's doing nothing 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.239 in the air. The Chargers do have the second worst 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.280 pressure rate. They don't bring extra rushers, but what they're 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.240 doing is dropping all those defenders back into coverage and 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.920 allowing the league's lowest average depth of target. Wow, so 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.760 they're not giving you. They're not giving up any big plays, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.080 no explosive plays, which has led to them keeping passers down. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.000 George Pickens is the only receiver I'm giving a grade 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.920 to hear a C grade on him because he gets 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.720 fifty three percent of the Steelers' air yards, leads the 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.360 Steelers and basically every receiving category, and he's gonna get 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.440 Christian Fulton while on the outside, who had over one 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.880 hundred rating against last year. When he moves to the slot, 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.679 he will see Jasiah Taylor, who says has one hundred 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.040 and sixteen point seven rating this year. He doesn't. He's 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.400 not gonna go to a Santa Samuel's side a lot, 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.840 so he's gonna have see some decent matchups. I'm gonna 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.760 give him a C grade. I do have Pat Faararmouth 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.240 on the bench. The Chargers gave up a good amount 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.560 of Bowers, but Bowers was the only tight end to 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.320 go over forty yards against this defense since Week nine 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.719 of last year, and it took eight targets to get there, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.200 just to get to fifty eight. Jalen Warren and Naji Harris, 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.839 I'm giving SEA grades to both Naji Harris, tripling Warren's 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.799 touches so far this year. But remember Warren came into 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.520 the season on a limited stampcout. They weren't even sure 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.360 he was gonna play Week one, so it's a little 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:55.360 bit a little bit nerved because of that. You can 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.800 likely throw a Week one out. Jalen Warren's sixty one 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.160 yards on eleven touches was much more efficient than Harris's 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.680 seventy four yards on eighteen touches, but they're basically splitting 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.600 thirty to forty carries. They can both get C grades 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:09.440 on volume here. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.200 Let's go to the Giants in the Browns, Brian, not 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.080 a lot to like on the giant side, But let 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.719 me mention this. Devin Singletary currently number one an avoided 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.560 tackle rate among runners with at least twenty carries forty 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:27.720 six percent avoided tackle rate for Devon Singletary. Do you 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.360 like him here against the Browns? 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.080 Yeah, based on those numbers, you got to start them 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.840 against pretty much anybody. But not a great matchup for Singletary. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.240 Just the sa grade this week against the Browns, allowing 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880 just seventy two rush yards per game to opposing backs. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.279 But yeah, leads the NFL and a misstackle rate, like 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.160 you said, second in misstackles forced, averaging more than five 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.360 point one yards per carry. Saquon Barkley wasn't doing this time. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.120 But I mean, Barkley's been doing playing well for the Eagles. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.200 But I saw meme earlier this week of done both 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.479 wearing number twenty six, and it's an office space meme 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.680 of Singletary being like, I shouldn't change my number, you know, 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:10.200 from Saquon's number, because he's the one that sucks. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.440 Not when it comes to fantasy. Unfortunately, over the past game, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.760 Malik Neighbors after a monster game in Week two. Just 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.840 to see here, back to last week, Neighbors became the 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.000 youngest player in NFL history with ten plus catches, one 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.320 hundred plus receiving yards and a touchdown scored and a 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.920 huge drop. He would have a bigger game, but just 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.280 to see this week, despite the fact Neighbors has more 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.360 total air yards than both the entire offenses of the 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.400 Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Commanders. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:36.360 Shut up. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.520 Wow the air air yards that is, but still yeah, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.800 Chiefs have not been airing it out. So Neighbors is 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.120 an alpha, a must start based on expected volume regardless 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480 of matchup, but not a great one here. Cleveland is 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.560 allowing less than nine catches at one hundred and thirty 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.840 five yards per game to opposing wide receiver units so far. 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.840 That is why Wandale Robinson is on the bench this week. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.840 But nice take on call last week charge Wandelle did 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.320 find paydirt, but unlikely to this week, so he is 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.440 on the bench as our Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.240 the Giants tight ends not even rosterable right now six 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.560 combined targets, so they're on the bench, as is Daniel Jones. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.680 We give him a take on grade last week, not 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.840 this week against Cleveland. Over to the brown side. Starting 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.280 with the running game, I got a season Ford, Jerome Ford, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.160 and Dante Foreman. Foreman gets the softer sea. We'll talk 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.400 about Ford a little more in the next segment. Over 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.520 the passing game, not a ton to like, but it's 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.240 really more so game script concerns. I'm just gonna give 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.280 a starting grade for the wide receivers to Amari Cooper. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.520 He gets to see. Cooper has seen a healthy seventeen 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.240 targets so far for an anemic total of five catches 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.480 for twenty seven scoreless yards. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.320 Amari Cooper's drop rate thirty eight percent. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:46.239 It's ridiculous. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.880 He's dropping a specialist. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.600 Hikes, so it seems like they're didn't get him going 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.319 in this game. Hopefully, even though the Giants only yielding 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.000 fifteen targets per game to wideouts as a whole does 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.240 not favor the passing game at all, and with an 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.319 over under of thirty nine in this game, it does 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.679 not scream shootout. So I have Elijah Moore and Jerry 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.120 Judy on the bench. But worth noting regarding Elijah Moore 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.840 leads the brown and catches and targets per route run. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.880 He is a PPR helper in most weeks, not likely 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.840 this week, but visa available, I'd go grab him in 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.200 PPR leagues Jordan Akins though at tight end, I'll give 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.240 him a ce YEP. David and Joco is out again 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.800 opposing tight ends, averaging five catches fifty five yards per 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.160 game against the Giants, and we will take that in 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.760 the tight end wasteland right now and last, and most 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.400 certainly least, he's still at the bench. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.880 Deshaun Watson Off said, Yeah, Bob Baltimore Dallas is the 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.600 last matchup for this block of the show in theory 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.640 to elite defenses, but they have not played that way. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.360 Lamar Jackson A grade Like most weeks, he's my number 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.880 three ranked quarterback this week. Let's stay with the passing 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.160 game for a minute. Zave Flowers predominantly lines up outside, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.920 where he's going to match up with cornerbacks Klan Carson 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.160 and Trayvon Diggs. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.320 They've been just okay. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.480 They've a lot of co find sixty five percent catch 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.840 rate and a touchdown in their coverage combined. Flowers is 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.200 dominating the looks in the passing game compared to the 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.320 other wideouts, and honestly, the biggest threats to Jay Flowers 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.400 are his tight ends. He's such a big part of 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.640 this passing offense. We're going to remain a B grade 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.920 on Zay Flowers. It looks like a neutral matchup way 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.800 Thornier with Mark Andrews and Aaya Likely, who come in. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:21.400 With C grades. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.480 They basically have flipped flopped in the two games. Week one, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.120 it was all Likely, Week two, it was all Andrews. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.680 Dallas got hit hard by the Browns tight ends in 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.760 the opener, and then last week Taysom Hill got hurt 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.680 and they only gave up one catch the position. So 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.720 this thing's still a little bit murky. Mike Zimmers defense 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.520 has struggled with tight ends a lot in the past 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.719 in Minnesota. For what it's worth, I think you can 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.320 start both Andrews and Likely. There's still big parts of 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.120 this passing offense. Derrick Henry hasn't been great so far, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.800 averaging four yards per carry just two carries of more 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.280 than ten yards so far, but really it's because of 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.480 the inconsistent Ravens offensive line more than anything else. Alvin 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.360 Kamara just hammered the Cowboys for one hundred and eighty 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.000 yards and four scores. But Henry's game is nothing like Kamaras, 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:08.679 so I don't know if we can infer too much 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.559 from that. Dallas was a good run defense last year, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.160 only lying one runner to top one hundred yards all season, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.320 but this is a totally different scheme with Mike Zimmer 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.520 and they might not match up as well. I'm keeping 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.160 a B grade on Derrick Henry. Let's go over to 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.640 the Dallas side. Obviously a grade for Ceed Lamb. We 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.040 won't spend a lot of time on that, but do 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.240 watch his ankle injury. Expected to play. Don't think that's 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.400 an issue here at all. Jake Ferguson is expected to 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.400 play through his knee injury. The Ravens kept Kelsey in 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.160 check in week one, but brock Bauers went berserk on 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.400 them last week, going nine for nine on his targets. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.240 If Ferguson can't go, we it'd be Luke Schoonmacker. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.120 There's many times strock bars targeted. 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:46.840 Good question. 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.880 I think it was nine times that many times? 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.040 Not enough? Apparently not, I'm not looking like enough right 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:54.439 now now. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.440 Jalen Tolburn and Brandon Cooks come in with C grades here. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.360 I do expect a pass heavy game plan, so both 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.080 guys are dart throws if needed. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.400 Hopefully you don't need either one. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.920 They're running against solid cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stevens in 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.720 that hybrid safety Kyle Hamilton, who we love. But I'll 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.880 note that Hamilton and Humphrey have already love touchdowns in 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.960 their coverage this year, so they don't feel like shut 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.240 down guys right now. So in a pinch, you could 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.360 go Tolbert and Cooks, who honestly I originally had on 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.760 the bench. It's that close. Staying with the passing game, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.559 let's talk Dak Prescott. I've given you some an A 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.840 grade on Lamb and some SA grades, so I've got 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.319 a starting grade on him. But I'm kind of nervous 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.440 about this one dimensional Cowboys offense against a good Ravens 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:39.080 pass defense. Last year, thirteen of seventeen opposing quarterbacks to 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.920 face Baltimore through zero or one touchdowns. No quarterback hit 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.240 three hundred yards against Baltimore. And this year, same story, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.320 no three hundred yard passers one touchdown each to Patrick 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.040 Mahomes and Gardner Minshew Ravens are giving up a completion 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.480 rate of seventy two percent, which is what so just 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.880 a middling grade on Prescott. I don't love him here 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.479 se Grade and these running are awful. Ezekiel, Elliott rico'doddell. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.960 We worried if they were going to be anybody you 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.960 could ever start. I don't think they are Dallas right now. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.160 Pro Football Focus is twenty ninth ranked rushing attack and 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.800 both of them just plain look bad. They're run blocking 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.520 hasn't been good. They're ranked twenty second by Pro Football 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.360 Focus and in the NFL's rushing yards over Expectation, both 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.360 guys are in the bottom five amongst starting running guys. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.920 It's all bad, and Zeke and rico'dowdele on the bench. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.920 When we come back, take a chance on me. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.320 Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Will tell 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.480 you who they are. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.959 You got injury problems. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.480 We got guys you can go find and pick up 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.079 and start. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.120 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Take a chance on me 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.240 nine players you would not normally start. Many of these 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.560 guys available on the waiver wire. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:29.520 Why are you shaking your head? 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.320 Scott when I'm with you You're guaranteed to smile. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.760 Smile time every time, Scott. When I'm with you, every 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.480 time I smile, especially when you give me stone cold winners. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.720 Has take a chance on me players beginning with this quarterback. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.200 I don't know about that all the time, but this 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.280 week I have your QB twenty five, Jared Goff, who 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.480 people are bailing on. He was dropped in twenty percent 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.120 of leagues last week. This last week, he's being started 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.120 currently in just one third of league's for this upcoming week. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.320 I think that's a mistake. Goff has three hundred yards 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.400 and or multiple scars in five straight against the Cards. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.160 Goff's offense has scored thirty plus in eight straight against 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.120 the Cards. It's a fifty three point over under, which 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.040 is the highest of the week, and the Cardinals are 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.640 ranked thirty easiest against quarterbacks so far this year. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.560 All right, I'm intrigued. I like it, Brian, you take 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:25.560 a chance with me quarterback. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.360 Well, we're in the Jersey. I was gonna roll Sam 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.920 Darnold back, but that's become too easy already, So I'm 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.600 going to take a chance on a g no Smith 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.520 at home against the Dolphins. Gino is still not getting 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.080 the credit he deserves. Ranks ranks eighth, and passer rating seventh, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.800 and passing yards second in completion percentage over expectation. He's 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.440 also totaled nine rushing attempts so far, one went for 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.400 a thirty plus yard score. Love them at home against 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.400 the Dolphins, who haven't truly been tested in their secondary 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.000 as Trevor Lawrence had just twenty one pass attempts against 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.960 them in Week one, just nineteen pass attempts for Josh 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.080 Allen last week, but both quarterbacks through for a score 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.000 were not picked off. So Gino should have a safe 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.480 four in this game, and if he can get in 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.600 the thirty ish pass attempts range, he has a very 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.880 high ceiling. Miami has allowed the ninth highest pass yards 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.280 per attempt and the seventh highest seventh highest passer rating 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:16.640 so far. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.560 Gardner Minshew takes on Carolina. I could just stop right there, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.840 but I'll note that Minshew ranks number two in passing yards, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.080 number one in completions, number one in completion percentage. Caroline 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.120 has allowed five touchdown passes, already second most. All of 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.560 Minshew's receivers have plus individual matchups and brock Bauers is 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.800 my number one ranked tight end. This week, the Panthers 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.800 ranked twenty eighth in coverage and dead last in pass 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.440 rush by Pro Football Focus. Gardner Minshew love him this week. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.440 You want to hear an insane stat about the Raiders 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:50.240 this year? Yes? 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:50.600 Please? 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.720 That helps you. They lead the NFL in pass three. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.120 PA's right and Tonys here we thought, like the most 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.520 run heavy coach in the NFL, running it like a 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.400 thirty two percent clip rate. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.720 It's it's crazy. Yeah, absolutely, all right, let's go to 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:06.240 the running back. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.560 Yeah, but somehow we're still gonna stay in Las Vegas 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.359 with that run rate. I'm going with Samir White, who's 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.640 been with you, who's been very unproductive and gross, and 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.560 you have not liked starting him the last two weeks, 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.960 but he's still tripling Madison in snaps and touches. He'll 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.000 get the fifteen to twenty touch volume here against a 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.320 Panthers D that is allowing nearly forty touches per game 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.960 to running backs, almost like they're getting behind right right, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.120 teams are just running it on them. They're allowing four 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.399 point nine yards per carry. Samir White with that volume 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.880 should finally break out. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:40.280 I agree. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.480 I'm starting a bunch of guillotine leagues, So I care 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.080 enough that I don't want to get cut. Brian, Who's 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.240 you take a chance with me running? 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.600 I got Green Bay's Emmanuel Wilson at Tennessee. Now Josh Jacobs. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.480 This is the clear cut starter for the Packers, but 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.760 with rookie Marshall Lloyd now on ire with the ankle injury, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.080 Wilson is in line to serve as the primary backup 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.520 against the Titans in a game where Green figures to 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.720 favor the run heavily yet again with Jordan Love looking 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.159 very iffy. The Packers offensive line currently ranks third in 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.560 yards before contact per attempt. That is a great clip, 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.080 and the Titans are just shredded by the Jets backfield 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.240 to the tune of one hundred and seventy combo yards, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.240 which included nine catches and three total touchdowns. So I 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.680 think Emmanuel Wilson is viable this week. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.400 If you're desperate, I'm going Jerome Ford. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.240 You alluded to his game in the previous segment. They 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.520 fooled around with Dota Foreman last week, given him a 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.000 bigger role, and you know what they got out of that? 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.080 They got three yards per carry. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.800 Meanwhile, Ford is running for five point seven yards per 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.400 carry this year, so I think Ford goes right back 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.080 to being a lead back against a Giants run defense 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.280 that ranks twenty six by Pro Football Focus. They ranked 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.600 sixteenth in run stuff win rate by ESPN, and they're 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:56.320 giving up five point eight yards per carry to opposing runners, so. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.640 It is ridiculous. I love Jerome Ford in. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.800 This game, and I failed to men when I did 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.840 the matchup more of a pass rusher. But Brian Burns 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.879 added to the injury report Friday, which is a big 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.800 boon for the whole Browns offense, but definitely the backfield. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.640 Let's go to the wide receivers position. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.199 I'm going I'm going Greg Dortch here. The Detroit Lions 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.280 were one of the worst teams against the slot this 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.119 year last year, and they have continued it this year 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.160 where they are the worst team against the slot. 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:22.360 Now. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.600 I know, if you look at the game log, you 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:28.040 realize they played Cooper Cup and the resurgence of Chris Conwin, 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.639 which is going to make them really really bad against 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.160 the slot. But it also means maybe based on last 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.720 year and early this year, that's what teams are attacking 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.760 and that's where Greg George plays, so I think he's 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.960 gonna get his this week. I have him as my 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:41.520 wide receiver. 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.520 Take a chance on me player, All right, Brian, You're 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:44.760 take a chance from your receiver. 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.280 We are you big deep breath here. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:48.840 We're getting grimy here. 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.080 Like it when we get grimy. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:55.920 Philly's Britain Kobe at New Orleans. Kobe saw six targets 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.560 last week with aj Brown inactive, which will be the 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.760 case of this week. All six should be heavily utilized 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.440 again this week against the Saints, who have yielded the 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.640 third most targets to wide receivers so far twenty four 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.479 per game. And oh yeah, the Saints suddenly had this 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.000 high powered offense all of a sudden. 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.320 Caame scripts whip into the receiver. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.840 Which means Philly could be chasing points on Sunday and 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.600 Britain Kobe's gonna be running free in the slot. I 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.119 think no one's gonna be paying attention to him. So 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.040 I'm seeing like eight catches for forty seven yards in 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:27.520 this game, and we'll take that all day. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.800 I'm gonna go Duwan Jennings going up against the Rams, Deebo, 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.040 Samuel ruled out. George Kittle may likely not play in 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.760 this game as well. That creates twenty one targets and 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:42.000 carries that could freed up for others. And Jawan Jennings 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.600 is like next guy up now on ir for the Rams. 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:50.160 In their secondary cornerback Darius Williams, cornerback Den Kendrick, and 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:55.800 safety John Johnston. The third you're starting cornerback for the Rams, 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.560 tore Davius White, has allowed a league worst three touchdowns 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.240 in two days games. So I like Juwan Jennings. He's 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.760 a gritty player, he's big, he's physical. Oh, by the way, 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.440 Rams allowing the most yards per completion of any team 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.600 in the NFL fourteen yards. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:13.639 Per completion, Big chunks. 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.080 That is a that was our chunk plays right there, Scott. 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.280 Let's go to Denver taking on Tampa. This Denver offense 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:21.960 looked god awful. 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.960 Right, but they do get They do get a Tampa 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:28.480 Bay pass defense that is ranked the fifth easiest matchup 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.159 for quarterbacks. So naturally, bon Nicks, who is tied for 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.439 the rookie leaded touchdown passes zero that's zero with JJ 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.919 McCarthy and all the other quarterbacks. Riockey quarterbacks, No I 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.919 have Bonnicks on the bench. Fun sat about Bonix. He 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.040 is eleven for thirty six for two hundred and twelve 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.320 yards and four picks on passes of more than five 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:50.200 yards down field. 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.240 God, I'm sure Sean Payton finds that's that very fun? 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.240 Yes here, Yeah, absolutely so. I have the whole passing 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.640 game on the bench. At week one, Veley stood out 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.720 and Sutton stood out. We too, Josh Reynold stood out. 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:04.720 Vale is going to be back. It's it's going to 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:06.439 be a mess. You don't want any of them. But 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.800 in the run game, I'm actually giving C grades on 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.720 both Javonte, Williams, Angelia McLoughlin, probably Javante if I had 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:16.679 to choose one. But the Bucks have allowed the most targets, catches, 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.359 and yards through the air their running to running backs. 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.520 They've allowed three top twenty four running back performances, including 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.800 four different backs just in the first two games over 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.520 ten PPR points. There's there's a lot to be had 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.879 in this pass game. Can't do any work. Javante's been 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:36.680 a little bit inefficient as he's faced the highest rate 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:40.960 of eight man boxes in the NFL. Why yeah, fifty again, 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.360 because they know Bonicks can't throw. 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:44.399 Well, you're right about that, You're doct right, that is 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:44.840 the answer. 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:46.480 Yeah, but literal answer yep. 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.639 And but Vita Vea will be missing with an injury 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.320 in the middle to help defend against that run game. 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.399 So I think with the pass game work and a 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.960 lot of rushing, maybe both of them can get to 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.320 C grades. That seems to happen the last two weeks 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.760 to Tampa Bay. I have an A grade on Baker Mayfield. 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.199 Brian Johnson will love this. I saw this stat this 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:09.800 week Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnifield. Darnold since leaving Carolina 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.400 forty six touchdowns and fourteen interceptions. 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:14.680 Wow. Really yeah. 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.760 A lot Sin's leaving Califord Carolina. 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:20.879 The poor Panthers man. 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.680 Yeah, Baker with six touchdowns in two games, grabbing twenty 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.000 or thirty more yards on the ground. It's the top 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.400 ten pass defense currently, but it may be a product 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.719 of the opponents they they've played since they blitz at 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:38.040 The Broncos blitz at the league's highest rate, but somehow 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:42.080 have the league's lowest hurry rates. Wow, They've only had 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:45.119 four sacks of the year despite all that blitzing. Maybe 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.640 that causes Baker to scramble for a few more yards 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.800 in his past game. I have B grades on Chris Godwin, 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:55.159 C grade on Mike Evans, and C grade on Jalen McMillan. 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.960 Mike Evans mostly because he's going to see a lot 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.000 of certain Oh, all right, so I have a secrete. 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.560 DK Meckout went three for twenty nine on Certan. George 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.120 Pickens went two for twenty nine on Certan, so it's 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.840 going to be a tougher spot. But he gets seventy 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:10.600 five percent of the end zone targets, so you kind 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.119 of hope for a score there. Chris Godwin twenty plus 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.959 PPR points in back to back games. His routes per 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.760 yard run is three point nine two, which is the 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:22.640 second highest in the NFL, behind our man Rashid Shaheed, 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:28.600 who leads the NFL OH and Jalen McMillan. I have 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.639 a SE grade on him, but really it should be 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:32.600 a bench. He only has one catch in each of 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:35.160 the two games, but he's got nearly a twenty yard 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:36.920 eight OTT and the Broncos have allowed one hundred and 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.040 seventy four yards to wide receiver ninety four of them. 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:42.280 We're in the coverage of Riley Moss, who is going 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.360 to be covering Jalen McMillan in that. So I'm giving 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:47.600 him a se grade because he's got the best absolute 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.960 best matchup and he can get a couple big chunk plays. 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:51.080 How about the runners? 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.040 For the Runners, Rashad Whites banged up. It looks like 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.199 he's gonna go. They say he's gonna go, So I 0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.920 have a se grade on him, in a bench grade 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:03.000 on Bucky Irving. Rashad White runs routes on sixty percent 0:25:03.000 --> 0:25:06.600 of his dropbacks. Seattle Runners last week combined for one 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.800 hundred and fifty yards the Pittsburgh Runners combined for one 0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:11.399 hundred and thirty eight. Couple scores mixed in but that 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.560 sixteen plus touches, three to four receptions and the game 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.199 script being in Tampa Bay and Rashad White's favor I 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:19.000 got a C grade on him. I could even go 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:20.200 be if he's healthy enough. 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.160 All right, Brian, we need to try to zip through 0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.000 Philadelphia New Orleans if you can. If you can't, then 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.280 we're going to take a quicker exit on this segment. 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.600 This Saints offense is going to make that tricky. There's 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:31.840 a lot to talk about in this one. 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:33.000 See that let's take a break. 0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.840 When we come back, we'll try to get into Eagles Saints, 0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:37.879 and there is something a lot to talk about with 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.679 the Saints offense suddenly high flying Alvin Kamara making me 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.240 look oh so very. 0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:50.600 He's playing like it's Christmas Day every game so far 0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:53.919 Christmas touchdowns. 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:58.480 I lost a Guillotine League championship in one of those 0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.320 games that game right there, so that want will haunt 0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.440 me for a long time. Also, when we come back, 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.200 Houston Minnesota, battle of two defenses will take to respect 0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:10.000 in that one.

I 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.439 don't know what I'm doing when it comes to college football, 0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.600 but I just look at that, throw some things in 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:48.480 prize picks whatever and boty bing bout a boom. 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:49.159 All right, there you go. 0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:50.640 I play on prize picks. I don't know if you've 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:52.080 known that, if you've heard that before, but. 0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:56.280 Some regular listeners do absolutely know that. Let's go Philadelphia 0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:59.840 taking on the Saints here, Brian, Let's start on the Philadelphia. 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:04.880 Saquon Barkley has been honestly everything that Eagles fans could 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:05.760 have hoped for and more. 0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:09.280 Yeah, was a mere inches from a much bigger box 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.200 score in Week two, had a touchdown call back that 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:12.160 would have been nice, but. 0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:13.440 Such as life the drop pass. 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.680 The drop pass too, but he also he was ruled rule. 0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.200 The touchdown came back, then the toush push came into play. 0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:20.840 That's back. We'll talk about that in a second. But 0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.320 just to see for Barkley this week. Not not a 0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.320 bounce back spot. Really, the Saints allowing just fifty rushing 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.399 yards per game to opposing back so far. They've been 0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:32.760 stifling the position for quite some time. Last season, running 0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.719 backs scored against the Saints a total of nine times. 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:39.280 That is not a lot of touchdowns. So just to 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:44.120 see for Barkley here. DeVante Smith, I got to be 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.840 on him if corner Marshawn Lattimore remains out with his 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.719 hamstring injury. If he returns, I'll bump Smith to a CE, 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:53.720 but not much of a difference from the B. It's 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.400 a strong C. You're starting Smith regardless with AJ Brown 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:01.040 extremely likely to miss another game, so you're starring Smith. 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:03.760 But if Marshaun Lattimore is out, definitely a bump for Smith. 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:07.080 Johan Dotson, I'm bumping him further down the bench than 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.880 he already was. Just one target last week, now has 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.880 two on the season. They need to ramp him up 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.040 a whole lot more, but Britain Kobe might take a chance. 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.840 Let me wide receiver. If you're desperate in PPR leagues especially, 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:22.160 go grab Britain Covee. Why not? And Dallas Goddard. Don't 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:23.960 love the matchup, but it's tough to sit him in 0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:25.840 the waste land I got to see on him. The 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.480 Saints are yielding just four targets per game to a 0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.080 tight ends for the first two weeks, and last season 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.800 opposing tight ends to average less than five catches and 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.120 fifty yards per game against New Orleans. So again, don't 0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.440 love Goddart, but tough to sit. So just a C 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:42.280 for him and a B for Jalen Hurts. Considering they 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:46.520 face Caroline in Week one, the Panthers have only I'm sorry. 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.120 The Saints have only faced one real quarterback this season, 0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:51.000 and that was Dak Prescott last week, who had two 0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:54.400 ninety three passing and a touchdown, But he also had 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.760 two picks, So I expect a similar passing outcome from 0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.120 from Hurts this week, hopefully not as many picks, and 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.640 now Hurts should certainly add an extra element on the 0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.360 ground as usually does, so you're gonna start him regardless, 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.880 but just a be this week. Over to the Saint side. 0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.640 Not a bee for Alvin Kamara. It's an a. It's 0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:14.560 it might be the fantasy fonsie A for alban say 0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:19.520 that I used to good it myself. I'm I'm reminiscing 0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:21.360 from back in the day. But the Eagles allow you 0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:23.440 more than one hundred and forty rush yards and four 0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.280 catches per game to opposing back, So look for Kamara 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.440 to keep the hot start going here. Over to the 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:33.080 pass game, Chris o'lave gets a bee. Last week. Olave 0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.400 led the team with a thirty eight percent target share 0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:39.280 and a fifty seven percent air yard share. Philly's starting 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:42.760 corner duo of Darius Lay, Darius Slay and Quinon Mitchell 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:46.080 have not been stellar thus far. Slay owns a one 0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.840 hundred percent catch rate and one hundred and forty six 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.560 point five passer rating in his coverage. 0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:51.960 I didn't realize knew it was bad. I think it 0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:52.360 was that bad. 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.920 It's like as bad as it gets, basically, and Mitchell 0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.280 has at least been average. But I have minimal concern 0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.400 for a Lave, so a B for him, and uh, 0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.800 basically I had a B, but I'm gonna give Rashid 0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:06.200 Shahed a C, but I'm going back to the B. 0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.240 Screw it. Shaheed tied a LAVE with a thirty three 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.680 percent first read share last week, which means he is 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:15.400 not a one trick pony. Shaheed is a top ten 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:18.000 PPR wide receiver going into week three, so you've got 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:21.520 to start him. The Eagles also added safety CJ. Gardner 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.360 Johnson to the practice to the injury report on Thursday 0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:26.760 with a foot injury. So awesome either no, yeah, he 0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.560 was getting burned, yet he changed his number in honor 0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.440 of Kobe, and people are saying Kobe is probably not 0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:38.160 appreciative of that gesture by CJ. Gardner Johnson. Per usual 0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.040 not giving Taysom Hill a starting bench grade. Started at 0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.840 your own risk and uh Foster Moreau eating too Juwan 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.840 Johnson's workload. So I'm not starting any tight end, but 0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:49.959 you are going to start. Derek Carr gets a B grade, 0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.680 solid bup borderline A for Derek Carr seventy seven percent 0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:57.880 completion rates so far while averaging eleven and a half 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.239 yards per pass attempt. Those are insanely good numbers, and 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.680 even better, the Saints allowed the sixth lowest pressure rate, 0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.720 the Eagles only seventh lowest pressure rate. Car is gonna 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:11.480 have all day. 0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:13.520 He's gonna pick this camp a part saying that that 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:17.280 offensive line, no, no ramcheck. I thought that offensive line 0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.880 was going to be awful, and I'm delighted to be wrong. 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:22.880 Those Saints have been fantastic. 0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:26.440 Derek Carr might leave this game as the leading MVP 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:27.640 candidate in the NFL. 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.320 Did not exceed that coming No. One, second only perhaps 0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.520 to Sam Darnald. Let's go to that. That's right, Baby 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.440 housaid taken on the Vikings. In fact, let's start on 0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:40.680 the Viking side of it with Sam Darnald. He's been 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:44.000 a revelation, obviously, but this is a very tough matchup. 0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:48.520 Houston allowed the fewest passing touchdowns last year. Only four 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.760 of seventeen quarterbacks last year topped one touchdown against them. 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.280 Then in Week one, Houston only gave up nine receptions 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:59.000 on the entire game. Then Week two, Caleb Williams got 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:02.600 destroyed by Hugh Houston. Houston ranks eighth and coverage by 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.800 Pro Football Focus. They ranked number one in sack rate. 0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:10.760 They ranked number five in completion percentage allowed. Sorry, Brian, 0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:13.640 I'll only get to a ced alright, I'll take it 0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:17.040 on Sam Donald against a very good pass defense. 0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:19.040 What do we think about the receivers? 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:25.720 Justin Jefferson B grade rare B grade, A difficult matchup 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:29.320 against a terrific secondary. Add into thigh injury, I drop 0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:30.760 him down to a B grade. You're gonna start him 0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:33.160 no matter what. But for the reasons I just mentioned 0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:37.000 with Donald, i'm i'm I have lower expectations. Jordan and 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.000 Addison ruled out of this game. They're gonna roll extra 0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:40.640 coverage to Justin Jefferson. 0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:40.960 Again. 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:43.479 It might even be Stingley shadowing for Tea. 0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:45.360 Yeah, it could be. It could be. 0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:49.920 Jefferson said he never gets like single man. 0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:51.200 It'll be. 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:51.720 It might be. 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.360 It'll almost always be some kind of bracketing coverage. Hey, 0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:58.440 how about Jalen Naylor. You know, last week we told 0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:01.920 you to give that guy a try. Panned out last week. 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.760 I can't do it this week though. Houston secondary just 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:07.800 too good. He's gonna see a lot of rookie cornerback 0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:11.919 Kamari Lassiter, who's been awesome through two games. They've thrown 0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:15.520 it him ten times, He's allowed three completions. For a 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.799 total of twenty eight yards in his coverage and he's 0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:20.880 got an interception. So I can't get you to Jalen 0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:23.880 Naylor this week like we did last week. And then 0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:27.319 let's go to the running backs. Aaron Jones comes in 0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:29.840 with just the Sea injury hip injury, but expected to 0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:33.040 play in this one. He's roughly splitting carries evenly with 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:36.040 ty Chandler, and they both look good. Jones is getting 0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:38.279 more aerial work, which is why I'm giving him the 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.880 Sea and I'm giving ty Chandler a bench grade in 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:44.400 this one. Houston's allowed the second fewest rushing yards and 0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:47.959 the third fewest fantasy points to running backs. They rank 0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:52.480 number one in yards per carry carried allowed at just 0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:56.319 two point two yards per carry. It's not good. Ty 0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:58.320 Chandler would suffer much of the same. Faith let me 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:01.480 know this about Chi though he leads all rushers in 0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:05.719 the NFL's rushing yards over expectation percentage. Ty Chandler's look nice, 0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.960 and this is much more of a crowded backfield than 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.279 I think a lot of people expected. Let's go over 0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:14.080 to the Houston side. Nico Collins Scott just in every 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:20.200 way the NFL Wow. I mean, you can make close 0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.200 every week eight grade, even this tricky matchup against the 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:26.600 Vikings defense, that's been good. Let's droll down on some 0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:29.200 of the other receivers, like Stefan Diggs just to see 0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.200 grade here. It's his first game back at US Bank 0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:35.759 Stadium as an opponent, and he's mercurial enough that I 0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:37.520 think he wants to beat his old team, and he 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.200 wants to harass the Texan staff and to make sure. 0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.040 He gets the ball enough to do it against his 0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:42.520 old team. 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:44.520 My son and I are going, do we cheer? Do 0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:46.160 we boo? Do we sick quietly? 0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:47.680 You cannot boost? 0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:51.440 Come on, you cannot. I don't know, I don't know. 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:53.239 He forced his way out of Minnesota, and. 0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.560 What did you get as a result? Justin jar, I 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:57.640 should say what what did we get? I'm a Vikings 0:35:57.640 --> 0:35:59.480 fan now only got those hand on also, But yeah, 0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:00.840 you can't Diggs. Come on. 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.920 The Vikings defense defends the spot with literally six different 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:08.000 guys number and so far it's been working, Minnesota allowing 0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:10.480 just twenty nine percent of their fantasy points to come 0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.320 from the slot among the receiver position. Also know what 0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:16.720 that Diggs is getting almost entirely shallow routes. He's averaging 0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:19.239 just five yards per pass. It is hard to get 0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.120 fantasy points five yards at a time. So I've just 0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:24.879 got the C grade on Digs, C grade on Tank Dell. 0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.400 Now it feels like Tankdell's been the odd man out, 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.319 but he's been getting the same number of snaps as 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:34.080 Collins and Diggs, and the paul just hasn't come his 0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:37.000 way yet. That could change at any time, including this week. 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.040 He'll battle against Stefan Gilmour and Shack Griffin on the outside. 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:43.480 They're combining for a seventy five percent completion percentage in 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:45.480 their coverage. So I still like Tank Dell and we're 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.680 gonna keep on starting him as well. Staying with the 0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:50.959 passing game, Dalton Schultz is on the bench, not getting 0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:53.520 enough action to start. Just ten percent of the team's 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.160 air yards are going to Schultz and c. J. Stroud 0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:01.120 B grade. Vikings pass defense has been shockingly good, mostly 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:05.160 because they're getting tremendous pressure on opposing passers forty nine 0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:08.400 total pressures in two games, including a league high eleven 0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:13.000 sacks for Minnesota. Still I've got positive roughly, you know, 0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:15.000 I've got letter grades on all of his receivers, so 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:17.680 I'm still starting C. J. Stroud B grade in this one. 0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:21.319 And then lastly, the running backs position. We already know 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:25.319 that mixing is out for this one. Joe Mixon out. 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:28.560 It looks like Damian Pierce will not go because this 0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:32.680 game will be mostly cam Akers. I think you can 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.520 get to a C grade on him even against a 0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:38.520 good Vikings run defense that currently ranks number one by 0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:42.160 Pro Football Focus and number five in ESPN's run stuff 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:46.920 win Rate. The Vikings will be without star linebacker Ivan Pace, 0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:50.120 and he is great in the run game in particular, 0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:51.719 and that's part of the reason why I feel like 0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:55.520 we can get cam Akers to a C grade in 0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:59.800 this game. All right, our next matchup is Carolina taking 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:03.759 on Las Vegas. Scott, I'm actually kind of optimistic about 0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:05.440 what this offense can do with Andy. 0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:07.160 Dalton, But are you starting anyone with it? 0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:10.120 I would start with a seat personally, I don't know 0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:12.400 what you've done. I can give a C grade to 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:16.240 Deontay Johnson and Adam Thielen if oh for garbage time. 0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:19.120 Interest should be a one sided game. 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.400 I see that. I see that I did give a 0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.480 C grade to Deontay Johnson. Because he leads to the 0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:28.080 team in targets, first three looks, red zone targets, basically everything. 0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:30.600 We'll see if Dalton changes that. But Dalton being a 0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:32.640 much more competent passer, I have a little more faith, 0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:35.240 So I gave Deontay Johnson a seed despite giving Dalton 0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.719 a bee. I know are a bench grade. I know 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:40.840 that multiple passing touchdowns and back to back weeks against 0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:43.040 the Raiders the garbage time, yeah, I just don't know 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:44.719 that I can trust it with Andy Dalton. I don't 0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.080 think anyone's picking up Andy Dalton in his first week 0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:50.840 of play for the Carolina Panthers. I have a dart 0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:56.279 throw grade on Chewba Hobbard. His sheriff carries and targets 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:58.719 increased from week one to week two. The Raiders have 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.799 allowed two hundred and eighty five yards to running backs 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.799 through two weeks. That's good for the tenth most. He 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.040 gets all the passing game work, and in garbage time 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.239 he's going to rack up a few receptions there, so 0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:11.520 he might get you a volume C by the end 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.440 of the day. It's a tough one, but I think 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:17.239 it's probably worth it if you're reeling for running back 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:20.000 help with all the injuries over the Las Vegas side. 0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.719 Gardner Minshew was your take a chance on me quarterback, 0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:26.400 so naturally I got some grades for his receivers. Davante 0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:28.640 Adams and Brock Bauers are going to get a grades. 0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:31.640 Davante with fifty five percent of the team's air yards, 0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:35.600 ninety eight percent route participation, two thirds of the end 0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:38.120 Zoe looks. He's averaging eighty five yards a game while 0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:41.520 being targeted nine times per game. 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:42.920 Awesome, that's a lot. 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:46.200 Brock Bowers third in the NFL and tight end target share. 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.080 He's really the only tight end target in fantasy right 0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:51.239 now that you can truly be like, no, he's gonna 0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.719 do it good for me every day week. And the 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:57.200 Panthers the second worst title in against tight ends, allowing 0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.360 nearly seventy yards in a score per game to the 0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:02.120 possession Bowers is gonna get a large share of that. 0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:05.360 By the way, most tight ends, most tight end receptions 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:08.200 through two games by a rookie, that's a record. Oh wow, yep, 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:11.000 even above pitch Sorry, Brian, have a bunch above a 0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:15.720 lot of people. Actually. Jacoby Myers also getting a C grade, 0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.920 third Banana behind Adams and Bowers, but he's getting three 0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:22.080 to four catches per game. He'll get the best wide 0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.400 receiver matchup against Troy Hill, who has one hundred and 0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:27.560 twelve point five rating against this year. Last year is 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:30.520 rating against was a Well it's been over one hundred 0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.200 two the last three years, so it's it's not a 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:34.480 fluke in the last first two games this year. But 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:37.720 why to see he's the third banana. Adams and Bauers 0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:39.879 combined for thirty five targets, Myers has eight. 0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:43.360 Yeah, that's where that's where he really really far. But 0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:45.759 he's a great player against a bad defense. Well great 0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:48.040 greats a little strong Jacoby Meyers a good players. 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.000 He's a good player. So I do have the C 0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.120 grade on him and take my take a chance on me. 0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:53.320 Runner was Zamir White. 0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:58.359 Green Bay takes on Tennessee. Brian Now we think. I 0:40:58.400 --> 0:40:59.960 think the Jordan Love talk is a little bit of 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.120 smoke screen that they're trying to make Tennessee have to 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:06.880 meet ready for both. They sort of got found money 0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.560 with their win last week with Malik Willis, so I 0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.120 think they're feeling like, you know, even if we drop 0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.319 this one, let's get I think the thing you should be. 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:18.799 Let's get Jordan Love in perfect health next week for 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:21.239 a divisional game against Minnesota. 0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:22.840 So I think it's gonna be Milik Willis. 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:25.279 Yeah, that's how I'm gonna read this matchup. Those are 0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:28.440 my that's my read too, And it's a revenge game 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.239 for Milik Willis. They gotta throw him out there. Even 0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:32.360 though Malik Willis is too nice, he's too good a person. 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:35.920 He's like, they gave me my yeah first cred. No, Malik, 0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:39.000 go out there bloodthirsty and get it. But let's start 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:42.080 with the packer's side. Well, Maleiku is on the Packer. Sorry, 0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:44.399 but the run game for the Packers started with Josh 0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.080 Jacobs easy A. Jacobs has been a belcow so far, 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:51.319 averaging twenty five touches per game while operating behind an 0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:54.760 elite offensive line. I mentioned before, The Packers currently ranked 0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:58.319 third in yards before contact per attempt, which is a 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.640 great number for running backs. Tell you are just shredded 0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:03.400 by the Jets backfield one hundred and seventy combo yards, 0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:06.520 which included nine catches and three total touchdowns. Love Jacobs 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:09.120 this week also like Emmanuel Wilson, us might take a 0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:11.239 chance on me running back. They're just gonna lean on 0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:14.880 those backs yet again, which means I don't like the 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:19.160 passing game. I have everyone on the bench, including Jaden Reid. 0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:23.520 If Milik Willis is the starting quarterback. Through two games, 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:26.640 opposing wide receivers have total just twenty catches for one 0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:29.680 hundred and eighty one scoreless yards against the Titans. 0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:31.480 That Titans defense is good. 0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:34.120 You divide those numbers by two, and those are some 0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.399 awful per game averages. I can even do that math 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.520 in my head. And they face some notable wide receivers 0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:43.719 Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen. So everyone in the 0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:46.560 past game on the bench for Green Bay for me, 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.359 including Malik Willis. Now, if Jordan Love does play, I'm 0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:52.360 pretty much gonna give everyone a CEE, I guess so. 0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.560 Although Love at that point would not be mobile right now, 0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:57.879 I think he'd be pretty stationary in the pocket, And 0:42:57.920 --> 0:43:01.040 a lot of what Jordan Love does well is when 0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:04.359 he would he either breaks out of the pocket or 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:07.760 on designed boots and stuff. The mobility really does unlock 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.239 some longer plays for him. I don't think they would 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.000 be there if he is out there hobbling. 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:13.799 On one knee. Yeah, I'm with you. So again, we're 0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:15.319 just gonna ride with the MALEIK. That's gonna be how 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:17.279 it's gonna go. Over to the Titan side. Just two 0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:20.560 starting grades here, starting with Tony Pollard. He gets a B. 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:23.279 So much for that time share with Taj Spears we 0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:26.080 all thought was coming. Pollard has played nearly seventy percent 0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:28.719 of the offensive snaps for the Titans so far and 0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.680 is averaging more than twenty touches per game, and through 0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:34.280 the first two weeks, the Packers have surrendered the second 0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:38.840 highest explosive run rate and the second highest yards after 0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:41.960 contact per attempt. So a be on Tony Pollard and 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.239 I was close to giving tay J. Spears a CE 0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:47.320 take on type grade, but need to see more snaps 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:48.680 out of Spears he is on the bench. 0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:50.719 He's also a little dinged up right now, also a. 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.799 Little dinged up. And over to the pass game for 0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:56.960 the Titans. Just a starting grade for Calvin Ridley. I'm 0:43:56.960 --> 0:43:59.759 gonna give him a CE. I sat Calvin Ridley last 0:43:59.760 --> 0:44:02.680 week in a bad matchup against the Jets. He ended 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.160 up catching four balls for seventy seven yards in a score, 0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:08.000 added another touchdown on a ten yard rush, so I'm 0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:11.799 basically not sitting Calvin Ridley after again, but just to 0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:15.960 see here, Ridley could see shadow coverage from JayR Alexander, 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:19.040 who did follow aj Brown on seventy percent of his 0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:22.279 routes in Week one, but Brown did burn Alexander for 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:25.200 one hundred plus receiving yards in a touchdown. Ridley is 0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:29.360 almost of the same caliber athlete, but Will Levis is 0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:33.480 a very very bad quarterback unfortunately, So just a see 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:36.800 for Ridley. Levis on the bench. DeAndre Hopkins two targets 0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:38.319 for new this season so far. 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:39.719 I think you got to just drop. 0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:42.080 You have to at least he caught both the targets 0:44:42.400 --> 0:44:46.160 and Chigo Konquo, Josh Wiley, and now Nick Venette is 0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.759 in the mix, Took Ross, They're all on the bench. 0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:52.319 Guillotine League still forming every day at Guillotine leagues dot com. 0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.520 This is the freshest, funest way to play fantasy. 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:55.800 Football at this point. 0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:59.120 Leagues up to sixteen because there are sixteen weeks left 0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:02.160 in the season available for drafting. 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.359 Now you can play with your friends.

Back in moments 0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:58.759 for our number two Fantasy football Weekly. Our number two 0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:02.239 Fantasy Football Week. As usual, we start now number two 0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:04.680 the game. We call three tough questions. 0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.000 Tough question number one, where's my paper? 0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:11.680 Tough question number one? 0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:14.240 That was not You didn't need to answer that, Okay, 0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:17.840 that was just me shuffling papers. What is the appropriate 0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:22.520 level of concern for Anthony Richardson Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson? 0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:23.799 Is it none? Is it some? 0:46:24.360 --> 0:46:27.120 Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread? 0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:28.000 Scott? 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.480 It's some, but it might be a little closer to 0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:33.319 blow than most people won, especially where they drafted him. 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:36.160 Greg Cassel was on the Rust Tucker podcast this week 0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:39.560 breaking down his film, saying he's missing throws high schooler's 0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:44.000 routinely make. He has no touch. He's a gunslinger. You know, 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.799 I'm this is no longer Crossel. I'm going on my own. 0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:50.040 He has no touch. He's a gunslinger, but right now 0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:52.640 he looks a little bit more like a stormtrooper from 0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.400 Star Wars type of gunslinging. 0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:56.120 Oh well done, man. 0:46:57.880 --> 0:47:00.640 The Russians going to keep you afloat in fantasy though, 0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:02.839 and those giant plays will two. Week one he had 0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:05.200 two hundred and twelve yards, but one hundred and sixty 0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:08.319 four of them were on three plays. If those two 0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:10.480 things don't happen for you in a given week, it's 0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:14.040 gonna get scary. Remember in the Combined Camp when Gino 0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:16.960 Stone of the Bengals said he doesn't even see his receivers, 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:19.560 He's just throwing to spots. That seems a little bit 0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:22.719 true right now. With the fifty percent completion Week one 0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:25.320 forty seven point two. Week two, he has two hundred 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:27.640 plus passing yards and one to two passing scores in 0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:30.840 each game though, so as a passer, only six quarterbacks 0:47:30.880 --> 0:47:34.480 have done that Richardson, Stroud, Carr, Minshew, Lamar, and Brian's 0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:37.799 Sam Darnold. And that doesn't include his rushing stats. So 0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:39.880 he's getting it done right now at QB eight, But 0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:42.040 there should be some concern that his passing is just 0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:42.680 not there. 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.960 Brian, what's the appropriate level of concern for Anthony Richardson? 0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:48.760 None, some or blow. 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:52.880 I agree with everything Scott said. He took my talking 0:47:52.880 --> 0:47:54.560 points and had other ones that I didn't have that 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:57.239 I would never had those They were all fantastic, But 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.120 I just disagree we're on belowed on him because he 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:03.719 was getting drafted as a top six quarterback, and personally 0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:07.879 I'm contemplating benching him for Gardner Minshew this league. I mean, 0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:11.800 he's the only quarterback with the completion percentage under fifty percent. 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:16.040 Bryce Young has a better completion percentage, oh than Anthony Richardson, 0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:20.560 who has fish alluded to very raw passer. He's got 0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:24.680 under twenty career starts including college. I mean, we're solely 0:48:24.840 --> 0:48:26.719 relying on the rushing with him right now, and that 0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:29.600 is how he got hurt last year. So he's putting 0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:32.520 himself at risk. So I'm blowed. I'm blowed. I'm very 0:48:32.560 --> 0:48:34.280 concerned with Anthony Richardson right now. 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:38.040 You guys have all my talking points six o one. 0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:41.160 We're here for the rushing, right. You know many designed 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:42.440 runs he's had in the two games? 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:42.880 How many? 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:45.880 Six and four? That's it? 0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:46.399 Not enough? 0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:47.959 Six and four, that's not enough. 0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:50.480 I mean, you know, guys like Justin Fields are getting 0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:53.800 thirteen fourteen, fifteen sixteen. 0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:54.600 Well, they don't want to, they don't want him to 0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:56.520 get hurt, they don't want them. 0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:56.879 To get hurt. 0:48:56.960 --> 0:49:01.440 But there are twelve quarterbacks with his any designed runs, 0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:05.080 as Anthony Richardson, and the passing is bad for all 0:49:05.120 --> 0:49:08.920 the reasons that you just mentioned. This team is staring 0:49:08.960 --> 0:49:10.799 at I think they're gonna lose Chicago this week and 0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:14.680 go oh and three and this will there is a 0:49:14.840 --> 0:49:18.600 benching possibility at some point with Anthony Richardson. 0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:22.000 Joe Fla is awesome, He's elite. 0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:25.440 I'm just saying, look, it's not off the table right now. 0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:30.360 I'm in full blown blow. Okay, over Anthony Richardson. 0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:33.000 Tough question number two. 0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:37.680 Well, Jets runner Braylen Allen continue to take on a 0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:42.320 bigger role and ultimately eat into the productivity of starter 0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:45.760 Brees Hall. For this one, we begin with Brian Johnson. 0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:51.000 Yeah, Allen looked very good again on Thursday night. So 0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:54.000 his rush attempts went from one to seven from week 0:49:54.040 --> 0:49:57.320 one to week two, pass routes seven to twelve, targets 0:49:57.360 --> 0:50:00.640 one to four. He's eating in at b Reese Hall's 0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:04.040 workload already, But I'm not. I think I think we're 0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:07.880 kind of seeing that, you know, the peak of Allen's usage, 0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:11.319 But I don't know. I'm at a lost for roots 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:13.480 here because we all expected Breess all to, you know, 0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:15.959 take eighty ninety percent of the snaps and Brailan Allen 0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:18.600 It's like, why was this guy drafted in the fourth round. 0:50:18.680 --> 0:50:21.439 He's just been going the second, third round. So yes, 0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:23.600 I think it's gonna go up. I think he's gonna 0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:25.759 get about forty percent of the snaps where a Hall 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.000 is gonna get sixty percent. And that's not what we want, all. 0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:31.680 Right, Scott will jets runner Brailan Allen continue to take 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:32.439 on a bigger role. 0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:35.360 Yeah, w people aren't aren't really a surprised because in 0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:37.560 his early college days he was not just ranked the 0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:40.239 number one running back. He was ranked by some as 0:50:40.239 --> 0:50:44.560 the number one prospect, so so yeah, if people remember 0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:47.759 his freshman year, he was absurd so not really a 0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:51.640 surprise bigger than Thursday night though he had fourteen touches. 0:50:51.680 --> 0:50:53.120 He was in the backfield in a lot of two 0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:56.160 man sets with Hall. But I looked it up. You 0:50:56.200 --> 0:50:59.240 only have thirty two percent snapshare, only twenty three snaps 0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:02.120 out of Brailan Allen. It seemed like he was much 0:51:02.120 --> 0:51:05.480 more involved than that. So I can see it improving 0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:10.680 increasing as we see, as we see how he did 0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:13.520 that night, and if the Jets have leads, yeah, he 0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:15.040 could be out there more. So I do think it's 0:51:15.040 --> 0:51:17.839 going to increase off twenty three snaps. I think he's 0:51:17.880 --> 0:51:20.480 going to get more workload than fourteen touches in some games. 0:51:20.520 --> 0:51:20.920 For sure. 0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:24.200 Brailan Allen passes the eye test, absolutely does the five 0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:27.880 point one yards per carry, including four point one yards 0:51:27.920 --> 0:51:31.839 after contact. And he's just a freaking beast six foot one, 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:34.880 two hundred and thirty five pounds. 0:51:34.960 --> 0:51:36.680 He is not going to be fun to tackle when 0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:37.680 the weather gets colder. 0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:39.560 Mm hmmm. I'll listening to that. 0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.080 And with that frame, he could turn into a goal 0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:44.759 line threat. For bris Hall. Now, Bristl does have one 0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:48.719 goal line touchdown this year. Last year, all season, Breshall 0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:53.279 had one goal line carry for a touchdown. That's it 0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:57.440 on three tries. Now, granted it was last year was 0:51:57.480 --> 0:52:00.719 without a functional quarterback. A lot of things different this year, obviously, 0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.880 but you know, Brice Hall touched the ball three hundred 0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:04.960 times last year. 0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:07.040 You know, I think the Jets might. 0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:08.440 Two ninety nine, thank you. 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:12.319 I think the Jets may One of the times he 0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:15.839 caught a like skip pass on the sideline, Okay, he 0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:16.720 was just failed. 0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:18.399 I failed to call that. 0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:22.120 Yeah, So I just you wonder if they don't try 0:52:22.160 --> 0:52:24.319 to take a little work away from Bresce Hall, keep 0:52:24.400 --> 0:52:26.839 them both fresh, take some wear and tear off of him. 0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:29.200 I just you know, the eye test tells me Braileen 0:52:29.280 --> 0:52:33.640 out at Braylan Allen ain't coming off the field much. 0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:34.759 They got a fight. 0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:36.759 It's a very bad thought having them both in there, 0:52:36.800 --> 0:52:37.399 isn't it. Yeah? 0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:39.919 If that offensive line starts coming together and we started 0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:41.200 to see it Thursday night, look out. 0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:41.840 Yeah. 0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:43.800 Tough question number three? 0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:47.239 Should I drop Trevor Lawrence in single quarterback? 0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:47.680 Leagues? 0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:51.319 Scott sure, Sure, it feels like he's got the best one, 0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:54.440 but he's had. But he has three hundred yards and 0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:57.120 or multiple scores in just seven of his last twenty 0:52:57.160 --> 0:52:59.840 five games and three hundred yards in just two of 0:52:59.880 --> 0:53:02.239 the twenty five. So the multiple scores is doing a 0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:05.080 lot of that legwork there. If you scan through his career, 0:53:05.160 --> 0:53:07.040 it's basically a third of the games where you were 0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:11.000 really happy starting him. Feels like he's more matchup dependent 0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:13.560 and more TACOM territory take a chance on me territory 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:15.759 than he is. I should have him on my roster 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:17.279 at all time. So yeah, sure, why not. 0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:20.840 Drop Trevor Lawrence? Brian should I drop Trevor Lawrence in 0:53:20.880 --> 0:53:21.920 single quarterback leagues? 0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:24.600 You were not happy if you started Trevor Lawrence in 0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:27.520 any of his last seven starts going back to last season, 0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:30.200 where he's averaging less than two hundred and fifty yards, 0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:33.560 one and a half passing touchdowns, and one whole interception 0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:36.760 per game. Yes, you can drop Trevor Lawrence. 0:53:37.200 --> 0:53:40.720 I don't like this week's matchup with Buffalo. Evan Ingram's 0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:42.520 week to week which is not good. He's not going 0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:45.640 to play this week. Christian Kirk's invisible his metrics for 0:53:45.719 --> 0:53:49.480 Trevor Lawrence have turned somewhere between middling and bad. He's 0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:54.040 thirtieth in completion percentage, He's at fifty one percent, leak 0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:57.160 averages sixty five percent. Now he has been victimized by 0:53:57.160 --> 0:54:01.000 five drop balls. So there is that looming schedule is 0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:04.160 not good, difficult at least on paper games coming up 0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:07.080 against Houston, Chicago and Green Bay over the next five 0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:09.839 weeks or so. So I don't like it. 0:54:09.920 --> 0:54:10.160 I don't. 0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:13.759 I'm dropped. I honestly. I put this in the I said, 0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:15.960 should I drop Trevor Lawn. I don't have Trevor Lawrence 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:17.319 in a single league, so I don't have to worry 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:18.000 about dropping them. 0:54:18.000 --> 0:54:19.439 But you guys, I don't either. 0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:22.239 I am starting Skyler Thompson over Trevor Lawrence in a 0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:25.480 Guilloteine league. Wow, I'm kindling dropping him in a Guteene 0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:29.200 league when there's sixteen teams left. Still right, Yeah, he's gone. 0:54:29.920 --> 0:54:31.200 We got to see something out of him. 0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:38.160 Tough question number four, WHOA, WHOA? Where's Crocky J? Because, 0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:43.960 as you probably know, Carson Steele's alligator is named Krocky J. Now, 0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:47.000 if you're Carson Steele and you've got a pet alligator, 0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:49.120 and out of the blue, you get an invite to 0:54:49.239 --> 0:54:53.640 Kansas City's training camp back last summer. Are you suddenly 0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:57.880 gonna buy a bunch of swampland in Missouri for Krocky J? No, 0:54:58.040 --> 0:55:01.719 of course not right? So where's Krocky J? That means 0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:04.560 he's in his apartment in Kansas City? Is he in 0:55:04.600 --> 0:55:07.960 the tub? Is he in the apartment pool? Where is 0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:08.560 Krocky J? 0:55:08.840 --> 0:55:09.360 Right now? 0:55:09.680 --> 0:55:12.960 I mean, would you guys have left behind your beloved animals? Like, 0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:15.520 like you know, Brian, I think you're a big cat guy, right, 0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:16.520 how dare you, sir? 0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.320 So would you leave behind a beloved animal? 0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:21.960 Okay, here's the problem, my dog. 0:55:22.040 --> 0:55:22.480 Here's this. 0:55:23.239 --> 0:55:27.000 Where's under city ordinance? No one is allowed to keep 0:55:27.080 --> 0:55:30.640 or harbor alligators or crocodiles within Kansas City city limits? 0:55:30.680 --> 0:55:34.120 So if he's there, could Carson Steel get arrested? 0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:36.160 You're harboring an alligator? 0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:39.680 He could keep Krocky J. Just over the border though, right? 0:55:39.719 --> 0:55:43.280 And Missouri? See, I think Kansas has got them tighter. 0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:46.440 Will is in Kansas City in Missouri? Or I always 0:55:46.440 --> 0:55:46.879 get it wrong. 0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:48.719 It's in both. It's in both. 0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:50.600 That's how you so you're never getting you never get 0:55:50.640 --> 0:55:53.759 it wrong. That's the beauty. I hate beauty. And if 0:55:53.840 --> 0:55:57.520 Kracky J is not with Carson Steel, then I think 0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.439 the fair question to ask is how do you get 0:55:59.800 --> 0:56:04.560 so somebody to watch your alligator for you? You're like 0:56:04.640 --> 0:56:07.200 I was like, hey, Brian, I need you to dog sit. 0:56:07.560 --> 0:56:10.239 That's one thing I need you to dock sit. 0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:13.560 How do you find a croc sitter for Krocky j? 0:56:15.200 --> 0:56:18.560 BTUs question or bear is where is Krocky J? 0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:18.839 Right? 0:56:18.920 --> 0:56:20.040 And no one got it right? 0:56:20.320 --> 0:56:23.840 Chicago at indian Apple. Nobody knows Chicago to Indianapolis. The 0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:26.919 Bears offense ranks thirty first in yards, gained only one 0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:30.000 more than Carolina, they'd be dead last. All right, let's 0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:33.480 talk through this one through. I think Chicago wins this game, 0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:36.080 as I alluded to earlier, just flat out set it. 0:56:36.320 --> 0:56:38.160 And I think there's some startable place here, beginning with 0:56:38.200 --> 0:56:40.560 DeAndre Swift, who was frankly has looked awful. His broken 0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:44.720 tackle rate is four percent, second lowest amongst starting running backs. 0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:48.760 He's twenty eighth in yards after contact. But the Colts 0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:51.640 have been bludgeoned by runners and back to back weeks 0:56:51.680 --> 0:56:55.440 to open the season, Joe Mix in week one, thirty 0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:58.000 carries one hundred and fifty nine yards. Then in week 0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:02.160 two Josh Jacobs thirty two carries one hundred and fifty 0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:05.160 two yards. DeAndre Swift, I just give me half of 0:57:05.200 --> 0:57:07.960 that and I'll take the C grade on DeAndre Swift. 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:11.440 I'm not starting Caleb Williams here. He's got to be better. 0:57:11.520 --> 0:57:16.080 He's had six bad quarters and two okay ones. His 0:57:16.200 --> 0:57:21.440 completions have been almost entirely fast, short first read passes. 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:25.040 On passes of more than nine yards, Caleb Williams has 0:57:25.080 --> 0:57:27.040 completed twenty two percent of his passes. 0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:27.520 That's it. 0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:31.440 But here's where he gets helped Colts defensive tackle DeForest 0:57:31.440 --> 0:57:38.760 Buckner ir Leatu Latu hip injury. Frustratingly, Williams isn't running much. 0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:41.200 I really thought they would unleash more running attacks. Just 0:57:41.280 --> 0:57:43.400 five designed runs in each of the first two weeks. 0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:45.560 That's not great. That negates one of his better weapons. 0:57:45.800 --> 0:57:47.600 He already keep Williams on the bench, but I do 0:57:47.680 --> 0:57:49.760 think he makes Dj Moore usable in this game of 0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:52.280 the C grade. He runs on the outside, and so 0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:54.600 far two thirds of Moore's plays have been on the 0:57:54.680 --> 0:57:57.280 left side of the field, which puts him against corner 0:57:57.480 --> 0:58:01.760 back Sam Womack, who was waived by the forty nine 0:58:01.880 --> 0:58:05.400 ers three weeks ago and now in the starting lineup 0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:08.680 for the Colts. Very green, He's only ever seen one 0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:12.200 hundred and fifty four career passing plays on his resume. 0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:15.200 That's a very plus matchup for DJ. Moore comes in 0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:17.800 with a C grade. Keenan Allen ruled out with his 0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:21.360 nagging heel injury and that means I'm on a SEA 0:58:21.400 --> 0:58:25.200 grade and Roma dunes here as well. Finally taken fully 0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:28.280 off the injury report on Friday. Rome gets the start 0:58:28.280 --> 0:58:31.000 here and to this point he's only had a ten 0:58:31.040 --> 0:58:35.880 percent target Right, there's Rome. Andy's starting cornerback Juju Brentz 0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:39.439 just went on ir he'll most often SeeMe will most 0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:43.480 often see cornerback Jalen Jones, who's allowing a seventy percent 0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:46.800 completion rate and an opposer passer rating of one hundred 0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:47.320 and twelve. 0:58:47.760 --> 0:58:48.960 Let's go to the Colt side. 0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:51.080 We've already told you about some of our reservations on 0:58:51.120 --> 0:58:54.919 Anthony Richardson, and this is a tricky matchup. Chicago's pass 0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:59.320 defense dramatically improved last year and it's still good they 0:58:59.320 --> 0:59:02.320 destroyed Wills in Week one, but more impressively, the whole 0:59:02.400 --> 0:59:06.520 DJ C J. Stroud in check last week. Since the 0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:09.800 middle of last year, the average passing game against Chicago 0:59:10.640 --> 0:59:13.240 just two hundred and twenty two yards and one point 0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:15.800 three touchdowns. And you know, the X factor here is 0:59:15.880 --> 0:59:19.000 Richardson's legs and and that's why I guess I'm giving 0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:21.520 him a C grade on the legs. But the Bears 0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:26.880 have only allowed eleven quarterback rushing yards so far this year, 0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:30.680 third fewest in the league. Staying with the Colts in 0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:32.920 the passing game, Michael Pittman comes into the C grade. 0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:36.840 Chicago's star cornerback Jalen Johnson might shadow Pittman, which worries me. 0:59:37.320 --> 0:59:40.880 Last year, Johnson was Pro Football focuses cornerback two. This 0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:44.880 year he's he's graded at cornerback nine. He is absolutely elite. 0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:49.120 The bears other outside cornerback, Tyreek Stevenson, is a little 0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:52.600 bigger than Johnson, and obviously Michael Pittman is very physical, 0:59:52.920 --> 0:59:54.960 so maybe he would be asked to defend Pittman more 0:59:55.000 --> 0:59:58.080 and that would be helpful for Pittman because again Johnson's great. 0:59:58.120 --> 1:00:00.360 But man, if I've got Jaylen john On some of 1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:02.400 my team. I'm gonna take away Michael Pittman and make 1:00:02.480 --> 1:00:04.680 somebody else beat me that somebody else would it be 1:00:04.720 --> 1:00:07.560 Alex Pearce. He's been one of the great surprises of 1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:11.520 this season. But again, tough matchup here against Johnson and Stevenson, 1:00:11.600 --> 1:00:13.640 and I'm inclined to let him sit here. I just 1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:16.280 I don't trust the passing on Anthony Richardson enough yet. 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:19.720 But maybe they're gonna keep heaving downfield bombs to Piers. 1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:23.000 I just think he's a dart throw guy where you 1:00:23.160 --> 1:00:25.720 need have him come down with that twenty yarder to 1:00:25.760 --> 1:00:27.880 be valuable, and that's a risky proposition. 1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:31.200 Back to Pittman really quick. He was a late add 1:00:31.240 --> 1:00:34.840 to the injury report on Friday too, with a calf injury. 1:00:34.960 --> 1:00:37.840 We do not like back in a half week additions, 1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:42.720 so very much, very dicey. Very Lastly, Jonathan Taylor be great. 1:00:42.720 --> 1:00:44.840 Bears ranked number two and run stuff win rate and 1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:48.440 twelfth in Pro Football Focuses run defense rank. The Bears 1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:51.080 were great against runners last year, except through the air, 1:00:51.120 --> 1:00:53.040 where they got killed. But Taylor doesn't help you through 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:55.600 the air. The Bears run defense has been very good 1:00:55.640 --> 1:00:57.400 this year as well. They are giving up four point 1:00:57.400 --> 1:00:59.080 three yards per kerry, which is middle of the pack. 1:00:59.240 --> 1:01:01.040 But they did a nice job on Joe Mixon last 1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.320 week before he ultimately got hurt in that game. 1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:05.280 B grade Jonathan Taylor. 1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:08.880 We'll take a break when we come back. Detroit taking 1:01:08.880 --> 1:01:13.600 on Arizona. Fantasy factors all over the field, and we'll 1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.040 find out if Sam Laporta will return to for him 1:01:16.160 --> 1:01:39.479 when we come back. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, big 1:01:39.520 --> 1:01:42.200 block of matchups for you right now, beginning with a 1:01:42.280 --> 1:01:44.560 game that's got a lot of potential starters in it, 1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:48.880 Detroit at Arizona for Detroit. Scott, you already earlier in 1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:50.880 the show told us that you take a chance at me. 1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:54.720 Quarterback was Jared Goff. Sam Laporta. You know, a lot 1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:56.120 of us took him at the end of the first 1:01:56.240 --> 1:01:58.600 round or in the second round, and it has been 1:01:58.640 --> 1:02:00.040 a slow start. 1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:03.080 But he does lead the league in tight end routes. 1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:07.320 Run yeah, gotta come around right, Yay, he's out there 1:02:07.400 --> 1:02:11.000 running around. Little did we know his ten percent target 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:15.520 share this year only happened once last year. He basically 1:02:15.520 --> 1:02:20.840 flip flopped with Jamison Williams. Is what happened. Jamison had 1:02:21.360 --> 1:02:24.560 seven percent last year to twenty one this year, and 1:02:24.600 --> 1:02:27.760 it flipped twenty one to ten the other way. So 1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:31.960 basically Jamison and him kind of flipped target shaars. Sam Laporta. 1:02:31.960 --> 1:02:33.800 I'm still giving a B grade too. He's facing an 1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:36.880 Arizona defense that has kept down a couple no name 1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:40.040 tight ends at this point, but they allowed the second 1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:42.680 most touchdowns to tight ends last year. Let's help laport 1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:44.480 I can get in the end zone. I already have 1:02:44.560 --> 1:02:46.800 this pegged four I did mention earlier. I have this 1:02:46.800 --> 1:02:49.880 peg for a shootout. It was fifty three over under 1:02:50.560 --> 1:02:53.360 with Jared Goffs might take a chance on me quarterback. 1:02:53.800 --> 1:02:55.960 I have a grade on aman Ross Saint Brown and 1:02:56.000 --> 1:02:59.640 a B grade on Jamison. Williams, Sun God and Jamison 1:03:00.080 --> 1:03:03.520 account for seventy three percent of the team's first ree targets, 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:05.440 so when Jared goff has dropping back, it's one of 1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:08.720 those two guys. A Monro's leading in targets and catches. 1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:11.520 He'll see second year man Garrett Williams, who is allowed 1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:13.960 an eighty percent catch rate and then ninety three point 1:03:14.000 --> 1:03:17.600 eight percent rating. Again so far no scores, but it's 1:03:17.600 --> 1:03:19.160 aman Rah He's going to get a ton of work. 1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:23.240 Jameson Williams running a route. His run route rate ninety 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:26.440 four percent and ninety one percent. He's running a route 1:03:26.480 --> 1:03:28.680 all the time out there forty five percent of the 1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.560 team's air yards tied for the league lead in red 1:03:31.640 --> 1:03:33.800 zone targets too, which is pretty crazy. 1:03:34.280 --> 1:03:36.040 Not expect that for Jamison Williams. 1:03:36.200 --> 1:03:38.720 I know he's shown up big time in the run game. 1:03:38.960 --> 1:03:42.600 A grade for Jamier Gibbs, B grade for David Montgomery. 1:03:43.480 --> 1:03:45.880 Jamier Gibbs his five point five catches per game are 1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:49.520 huge for fantasy despite barely any yardage off of them. 1:03:49.520 --> 1:03:51.600 But that's a lot of PPR points when you're getting 1:03:51.600 --> 1:03:55.080 over five catches per game. Seventeen point five touches per 1:03:55.120 --> 1:03:59.560 game for him, sixteen point five for Monty. They're both 1:03:59.600 --> 1:04:02.640 going to get similar work. Last year, the Cards were 1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:06.200 worst against fantasy runners, one of two teams that allowed 1:04:06.240 --> 1:04:10.160 over twenty five hundred total yards to runners and allowed 1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:12.920 the most running back total touchdowns. So this is a 1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:15.000 good spot for both of those guys. A grade on 1:04:15.040 --> 1:04:16.200 the better pass catcher. 1:04:15.960 --> 1:04:17.120 Though, yeah makes sense. 1:04:17.520 --> 1:04:19.920 Over to the Arizona side, Kyler Murray got an A 1:04:20.080 --> 1:04:22.880 grade on him. Detroit has the fourth highest pressure rate, 1:04:22.920 --> 1:04:26.800 tied for fifth and QB knocks downs and third in sects, 1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:30.400 which might force Kyler to scramble. He had five for 1:04:30.480 --> 1:04:32.480 fifty seven on the ground in the first game, five 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:34.680 for fifty nine in the second game. Seems like a 1:04:34.680 --> 1:04:40.240 trend there, four passing scores, no picks. The Detroit Lions 1:04:40.240 --> 1:04:42.240 allowed three hundred and seventeen in a score in week 1:04:42.280 --> 1:04:44.080 one two twenty nine and two scores in a week two. 1:04:44.080 --> 1:04:47.400 It's a good spot for passers. Yeah, in the past game, 1:04:47.440 --> 1:04:50.479 Marvin Harrison, I'm going to an a grade his top speed. 1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:52.200 By the way, you asked about this last time, three 1:04:52.520 --> 1:04:56.520 twenty point zero three better than sixteen. Yes, yes, he 1:04:56.600 --> 1:04:58.360 got that four for one thirty and two in the 1:04:58.400 --> 1:05:01.080 first quarter. Nothing for the the rest of the game 1:05:01.120 --> 1:05:02.040 as they got up big. 1:05:02.120 --> 1:05:04.360 Yeah, they did get up big. But it is a 1:05:04.360 --> 1:05:06.439 little bit weird if you think about it this way. Yeah, 1:05:07.160 --> 1:05:10.320 Marvin Harrison has had seven quarters where he's been invisible 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:12.560 and one quarter where he was dominating. 1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:15.880 Absolutely. Yep, they got ahead, he came off. His snap 1:05:15.920 --> 1:05:18.280 percentage dropped to like sixty eight percent because he wasn't 1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:21.560 playing as much. After after that big lead. Lions are 1:05:21.640 --> 1:05:25.040 second worst against wide receiver statistically, but really it was 1:05:25.080 --> 1:05:28.160 eighty one percent Godwin and Cup in the slot, which 1:05:28.200 --> 1:05:30.280 is why I gave Greg Dersch might take a chance 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:32.840 on me. Player Michael Wilson. I mean, he's second in 1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:34.600 snap so he's just got two targets, so I got 1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:37.800 him on the bench. Trey McBee bride I got an 1:05:37.840 --> 1:05:40.120 a grade on leads the team in first three targets 1:05:40.120 --> 1:05:43.080 at twenty seven percent. Harrison is twenty five percent in 1:05:43.120 --> 1:05:46.040 first three targets. Wow, so he's getting looked at a lot. 1:05:46.400 --> 1:05:49.920 Trey McBride leading snaps targets. Detroit only allowed four for 1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:52.440 forty seven to Kobe Parkinson and nothing to Kate Atten. 1:05:52.680 --> 1:05:54.720 But Trey McBride is a top three tight end right 1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:57.200 now in fantasy. I got an a grade on him. 1:05:57.800 --> 1:05:59.919 Over to the running game, James Connor is just getting 1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:02.320 ton of work, just a ton of work out there. 1:06:02.960 --> 1:06:05.520 He's averaging twenty one touches with a few of them 1:06:05.560 --> 1:06:07.800 be two yeah, two to three of them being catches. 1:06:08.080 --> 1:06:10.480 He only sees an eight man box eight percent of 1:06:10.520 --> 1:06:12.440 the time, which one is the lowest in one of 1:06:12.480 --> 1:06:15.000 the lowest in the League, and he's one of six 1:06:15.040 --> 1:06:17.680 running backs to play one hundred percent of the steps 1:06:17.720 --> 1:06:22.240 inside the five nine times, nine steps. 1:06:21.880 --> 1:06:22.760 Nine times. 1:06:24.000 --> 1:06:26.520 Detroit hasn't allowed a runner to hit seventy yards since 1:06:26.560 --> 1:06:29.360 Week sixteen of twenty twenty two, but they haven't seen 1:06:29.400 --> 1:06:33.520 that kind of volume from a back either, So eight 1:06:33.560 --> 1:06:35.400 grade or B grade there makes sense. 1:06:35.520 --> 1:06:39.800 Yeah, Brian, Miami takes on Seattle. Skyler Thompson making not 1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:43.720 his NFL debut. He has started games before, but mostly 1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:46.080 Skyler Thompson. We've seen him is coming in mid game 1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:48.640 because two has just gotten wrecked and now he's got 1:06:48.640 --> 1:06:51.200 to come in cold. They've got a whole week to 1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:55.360 build an offense around and four Skyler Thompson. What do 1:06:55.400 --> 1:06:57.400 you think of this passing attack for Miami as they 1:06:57.440 --> 1:06:58.240 take on Seattle. 1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:01.840 Yeah, quite simply got to see on Skyler Thompson because 1:07:01.840 --> 1:07:04.480 I have starting grades on his top three pass catchers, 1:07:04.480 --> 1:07:09.000 and Thompson he is mobile, he adds that extra element. 1:07:09.080 --> 1:07:12.240 You've got that armam and this is somewhat of a 1:07:12.320 --> 1:07:15.080 higher over under in this game as well. So I 1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:18.240 got to see on Thompson starting with Tyreek Hill of course, 1:07:18.280 --> 1:07:20.560 just to be for Hill with the obvious change at 1:07:20.600 --> 1:07:24.640 quarterback with Tua now on ir so we probably need 1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:27.040 to temper our expectations a little. But you always start 1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:28.880 Tyreek win healthy, so we're not gonna get into that. 1:07:29.480 --> 1:07:31.840 Over to Jalen Wattle, he only gets a see here. 1:07:31.920 --> 1:07:35.280 Waddle has seen an easily twelve percent target share so far, 1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:39.000 very disappointing. Maybe things will change with Skyler Thompson. I 1:07:39.040 --> 1:07:40.840 need to see it first before I give him a 1:07:40.920 --> 1:07:43.520 B grade. But I'm not benching Waddle here. I do 1:07:43.640 --> 1:07:47.360 have some concerns in this game for Wattle. Seattle has 1:07:47.400 --> 1:07:51.120 allowed the lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide 1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:55.120 receivers this season. That said, they've also played the Broncos 1:07:55.120 --> 1:07:59.040 and the Patriots. The Seahawks have that Dolphins should be 1:07:59.120 --> 1:08:02.720 a much tougher test. And your boy charge tight end 1:08:02.760 --> 1:08:04.440 John new Smith. I got a see on him in 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:05.080 the Wasteland. 1:08:05.320 --> 1:08:07.280 Loved how they much they used him last week. 1:08:07.280 --> 1:08:10.320 For sure, and Seahawks good matchup on paper. Last year 1:08:10.760 --> 1:08:13.840 top twelve in the most catches and yards allowed to 1:08:13.880 --> 1:08:16.760 tight ends, so bottom twelve. Well, I like to say 1:08:16.760 --> 1:08:19.840 top twelve in the most and this season so far 1:08:19.880 --> 1:08:23.559 they are top six in the most catches and yards 1:08:23.640 --> 1:08:25.559 allowed to tight end, so a see on John hu 1:08:25.600 --> 1:08:29.000 Smith and a big old A for Devon A Chan 1:08:29.680 --> 1:08:33.200 saw twenty eight opportunities in a blowout loss to Buffalo 1:08:33.280 --> 1:08:36.160 last week, so they kept him on the field regardless. 1:08:36.200 --> 1:08:39.559 Seattle is allowed nearly six yards per carry. Their star 1:08:39.840 --> 1:08:43.160 run stuffer Leonard Williams banged up with a knee injury. 1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:46.479 He might not play where he Mostered very iffy to play. 1:08:46.880 --> 1:08:49.559 Jalen Wright only got five carries last week when Moster 1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:52.120 was out. Zero targets for Jalen right, so I got 1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:55.840 both Mostert and right on the bench. Whether Mostard sits 1:08:55.960 --> 1:08:58.559 or not, it's all about Devon a Chan in this one. 1:08:58.600 --> 1:09:01.439 He gets the A over to the Seahawks side. Zach 1:09:01.560 --> 1:09:05.000 Sharboney gets a B grade here at Kenneth Walker all 1:09:05.000 --> 1:09:09.840 but guaranteed to sit this week. Sharboney took all but 1:09:09.960 --> 1:09:13.720 two offensive snaps with Walker inactive that last week. That 1:09:13.760 --> 1:09:16.240 should be the case again this week. Miami is a 1:09:16.320 --> 1:09:18.840 middle of the road run defense. Sharbonay is the middle 1:09:18.880 --> 1:09:21.519 of the road talent, but he gets a B based 1:09:21.520 --> 1:09:25.559 on the expected volume at home. DK Metcalf questionable to play, 1:09:25.560 --> 1:09:28.120 but he should suit up he gets a B metcalf 1:09:28.160 --> 1:09:30.320 the clear alf on this team, commanding a twenty six 1:09:30.320 --> 1:09:33.920 percent target share and in an air yard share north 1:09:33.960 --> 1:09:36.960 of forty percent. Over to the other two receivers and 1:09:37.000 --> 1:09:40.160 Tyler Lockett and Jackson Smith and Jigba, they both get 1:09:40.160 --> 1:09:43.000 a C. Week one belong to Lockett. Between these two 1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:46.160 Week two belonged to JSN. We shall see what happens. 1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:48.880 They both get a C grade from me. Noah Fant 1:09:48.880 --> 1:09:51.680 does not, though he's on the bench sadly, one of 1:09:51.680 --> 1:09:53.840 my favorite sleeper options at tight end this year. A 1:09:53.880 --> 1:09:56.719 slow start for him, just three catches on the season 1:09:56.760 --> 1:10:00.559 so far, and Miami. Miami has basically shut down Ingram 1:10:00.560 --> 1:10:03.360 and Dalton kin Kay to start the season. The last 1:10:03.400 --> 1:10:05.880 and certainly not least, Gino Smith was might take a chance, 1:10:05.880 --> 1:10:07.439 I mean, quarterback, Gino, Let's go. 1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.000 Kansas City taking on Atlanta. You know it used to 1:10:10.040 --> 1:10:13.040 be I could just go, Hey, Patrick Mahomes and Travis 1:10:13.120 --> 1:10:15.760 Kelce and Isaiabacheco are easy a's and then we would 1:10:15.760 --> 1:10:17.439 just move on. But that is not the case of 1:10:17.479 --> 1:10:20.720 this offense anymore now. Rashee Rice is your obvious A, 1:10:21.080 --> 1:10:25.200 particularly in the slot against journeyman cornerback Mike Hughes, So 1:10:25.479 --> 1:10:28.120 a grade for Rashie Rice. Let's go to the other 1:10:28.160 --> 1:10:30.960 guys where it gets a little bit trickier, including including 1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:34.240 Xavier Worthy. You know, last week I warned you about 1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:37.640 the volatility that's gonna come with Worthy due to the 1:10:37.680 --> 1:10:41.400 low volume. Now, fortunately Hollywood Brown is out, not that 1:10:41.439 --> 1:10:43.680 we want him to be hurt, we don't. Worthy's on 1:10:43.720 --> 1:10:45.760 the field a lot more though. He's running nearly as 1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:48.600 many plays as Rashee Rice, but just two catches in 1:10:48.640 --> 1:10:51.799 both games so far. His matchup this week will mostly 1:10:51.960 --> 1:10:54.920 against cornerback aj Terrell, who's been above average for years, 1:10:54.960 --> 1:10:56.840 but this year has allowed seven to eight passes in 1:10:56.880 --> 1:10:58.840 his coverage to be completed. So I've got a C 1:10:59.040 --> 1:11:02.559 grade on Xavier Worthy in this one. Travis Kelcey, you 1:11:02.640 --> 1:11:04.599 gotta keep starting him. Do you guys know where Travis 1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:09.320 Kelcey ranks among wide receivers, sorry, tight ends and Fantasy points. 1:11:10.680 --> 1:11:11.400 Twenty seventh? 1:11:12.160 --> 1:11:13.599 I was just gonna say it can't be tventy. 1:11:13.560 --> 1:11:17.960 Seventh here DOAH fense probably better disasters so far, fortunately 1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:22.080 still running the most routes of any Chiefs player. The 1:11:22.080 --> 1:11:24.760 Falcons have been a good tight end defense no tight 1:11:24.840 --> 1:11:26.880 end is top thirty eight yards this year, and the 1:11:26.920 --> 1:11:30.240 Falcons have only allowed one tight end score in their 1:11:30.320 --> 1:11:34.599 last fourteen games going back to last year. I've only 1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:37.160 got a C grade on Travis Kelcey. In this game, 1:11:38.160 --> 1:11:39.439 Patrick Mahomes comes into. 1:11:39.320 --> 1:11:39.760 The B grade. 1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:43.920 Atlanta's pass defense has looked honestly pretty good, but they 1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:47.120 faced justin fields and Jalen Hurts without Aj Brown, so 1:11:47.439 --> 1:11:49.759 kind of an asterisk on that one. Still, the Falcons 1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:52.439 ranked seventh in passing yards allowed, just one passing touchdown 1:11:52.479 --> 1:11:55.680 allowed so far, and Mahomes honestly just doesn't look dominating 1:11:55.760 --> 1:11:57.760 like he used to. So I'm just giving you the 1:11:57.800 --> 1:12:00.080 BE on Patrick Mahomes in this game. 1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:01.439 Now, what about the running back. 1:12:01.520 --> 1:12:05.639 It's been a big question mark ever since Isaiah Pachecko's injury. 1:12:06.160 --> 1:12:08.880 The way I'm doing this is this, I'm giving you 1:12:08.920 --> 1:12:13.639 a C grade in PPR leagues for samaj p Ryn 1:12:14.000 --> 1:12:16.920 because we know he can catch and he can pass block. 1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:21.639 Pachecko was catching a lot of passes, Pacheco was catching 1:12:21.680 --> 1:12:24.880 a lot of passes. I think Pryan walks into that 1:12:24.960 --> 1:12:27.639 pass catching role and Andy Reid doesn't need to change 1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:30.240 the offense, so I think we can get Prian to 1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:35.840 like four catches, forty receiving yards, forty rushing yards, and 1:12:35.880 --> 1:12:38.479 that's not a half bad PPR game. So that's where 1:12:38.479 --> 1:12:40.800 I think we get with him. Carson Steele probably needs 1:12:40.800 --> 1:12:44.080 a touchdown, which you might get. The dude's a beast physically, 1:12:44.439 --> 1:12:47.920 and if he unleashes Krocky Jay, then I love his 1:12:48.040 --> 1:12:50.160 chances of scoring a touchdown in this game, but on 1:12:50.200 --> 1:12:52.320 the bench until we see Carson Steele and what his 1:12:52.439 --> 1:12:54.879 role looks like a little more clearly. Let's go to Atlanta. 1:12:55.160 --> 1:12:58.240 Let's start with b Jehn Robinson. He's looked terrific in 1:12:58.280 --> 1:13:00.439 both games, getting tons of work eighty one percent of 1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:03.200 the running back snaps for his team. Tough matchup, though, 1:13:03.320 --> 1:13:06.320 no back is top forty six yards against the Chiefs 1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:08.960 this year. They're giving up just three point eight yards 1:13:08.960 --> 1:13:11.880 per carry. I thought about putting Jon at a B grade, 1:13:12.120 --> 1:13:16.680 but I think the Falcons run oriented offensive line is 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:19.559 going to spring him for enough good gains here that 1:13:19.600 --> 1:13:22.200 I'm keeping an A grade on Jon Robinson with all 1:13:22.240 --> 1:13:25.759 the expected usage. Now, let me give you the stat 1:13:25.880 --> 1:13:26.400 of the day. 1:13:26.880 --> 1:13:27.639 You ready for this. 1:13:28.880 --> 1:13:31.880 In the last twenty in at least the last twenty 1:13:31.880 --> 1:13:33.879 five years. Because our database doesn't go farther. 1:13:33.680 --> 1:13:34.160 Back than this. 1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:38.479 No team has allowed more tight end receptions through two 1:13:38.520 --> 1:13:43.080 weeks than the Kansas City Chiefs will have allowed twenty 1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:47.040 five fight end receptions in two games. Wow, we have 1:13:47.120 --> 1:13:50.360 a database, Yes, we do. As a matter of fact, 1:13:50.360 --> 1:13:54.680 ad average game by Kansas City by opposing tight ends 1:13:54.760 --> 1:14:00.760 this year fifteen catches, no fifteen targets, fifteen reception, one 1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:04.880 hundred and thirty eight yards, which is total insanity. Kyle Pitts, 1:14:05.360 --> 1:14:08.639 He's daggered so many of us, so many different ways. 1:14:09.200 --> 1:14:13.320 But this matchup just screams Kyle Pits B grade. 1:14:13.800 --> 1:14:16.040 Kyle how I can't do it. 1:14:19.280 --> 1:14:22.320 Let's go to Drake London. Let's go to London. As 1:14:22.360 --> 1:14:26.240 the Falcons clear number one receiver, he'll likely draw a 1:14:26.240 --> 1:14:30.599 lot of star cornerback Trent McDuffie. Despite matching up against 1:14:30.640 --> 1:14:33.480 A Flowers and Jamar Chase, which are tough matchups, McDuffie's 1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:37.280 only allowing three receptions all year for twenty six total 1:14:37.360 --> 1:14:41.160 yards in his coverage. So I'm very nervous about Drake London. 1:14:41.200 --> 1:14:44.160 I can only give you a C grade there. Darnell Mooney, 1:14:44.280 --> 1:14:48.040 I like just as much as Drake London because try 1:14:48.080 --> 1:14:50.200 McDuffie's going to be tied up on London. That gives 1:14:50.200 --> 1:14:54.840 Mooney easier coverage against Jalen Watson. He's allowed seven receptions 1:14:54.840 --> 1:14:56.960 for one hundred nine yards and it's coverage so far. 1:14:58.160 --> 1:15:02.080 And you could give a little ffw dart throw ooh 1:15:02.160 --> 1:15:05.799 to Ray Ray McCloud, who's running nearly as many routes 1:15:05.800 --> 1:15:09.439 as London and Mooney and getting just as many passes 1:15:09.439 --> 1:15:11.800 as London and Mooney in this offense. He's got a 1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:16.280 plus matchup against hybrid safety Chamari Connor, who is allowing 1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:19.720 an eighty three percent catch rate. So we've got a 1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:22.760 decent starting grade on Ray Ray McLoud. Now with all 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:25.400 those season bs, that means Kirk Cousins comes in with 1:15:25.479 --> 1:15:28.320 a C grade in this game in a tricky matchup. 1:15:28.360 --> 1:15:31.400 Obviously looked way way better last week than he did 1:15:31.400 --> 1:15:33.439 in Week one. Part of it was the Steelers are 1:15:33.479 --> 1:15:35.360 great defense. In week one, they're gonna humble a lot 1:15:35.400 --> 1:15:38.080 of quarterbacks. Part of it was the way they utilized 1:15:38.160 --> 1:15:41.360 Kirk Cousins looked way way better in week number two. 1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:44.439 We got to see Kirk play to his strengths. A 1:15:44.479 --> 1:15:50.519 lot more in that game, Scott, is Jacksonville Buffalo like 1:15:50.600 --> 1:15:52.360 three minutes or is it more like five minutes? 1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:56.599 Do let's take a break, Salwich time we've. 1:15:56.520 --> 1:15:58.080 Gotten all right, we'll take a break. We'll do it 1:15:58.120 --> 1:15:58.439 that way. 1:15:58.600 --> 1:15:59.800 We'll take a break. Wee come back. 1:16:00.080 --> 1:16:02.439 Only we get Jacksonville Buffalo from Scott Fish, and I 1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:03.920 got a pretty good idea that we're not going to 1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:08.479 be starting triplet Lawrence job. But you also get the 1:16:08.640 --> 1:16:12.280 Fantasy Football Weekly Time Machine as we give you premature 1:16:12.360 --> 1:16:15.519 speculation three players you'll want to pick up this week 1:16:15.680 --> 1:16:18.479 before everybody else tries to pick them up next week 1:16:18.720 --> 1:16:19.439 when we come back. 1:16:19.560 --> 1:16:43.519 Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. 1:16:43.640 --> 1:16:45.880 We always begin this segment with a trip in the 1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:50.520 Fantasy Football Weekly time Machine. Let's give you three players 1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:53.200 that are probably available in your league you want to 1:16:53.240 --> 1:16:55.320 pick up now before somebody else tries next week. 1:16:55.400 --> 1:16:57.720 We begin with Scott Fish. 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:00.599 Yeah, let's have my mic on. I'm going to over 1:17:00.640 --> 1:17:04.320 to the Los Angeles Rams with Jordan Winnington, who Sean 1:17:04.400 --> 1:17:07.080 mcvah in the preseason said he would be a factor 1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:09.000 this year. I don't think he thought it'd. 1:17:08.760 --> 1:17:11.120 Be this quick. 1:17:11.160 --> 1:17:13.280 He will be a factor taking over the Cooper Cup 1:17:13.360 --> 1:17:14.559 role in that offense. 1:17:15.000 --> 1:17:17.320 All right, Brian, your tay not take a chance with me, 1:17:17.400 --> 1:17:19.040 your premature speculation player. 1:17:19.360 --> 1:17:24.000 All right, Krocky Jay, if you're listening from Kad City, Indiana, 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:28.720 cover your alligators. Crocodiles have ears. Probably not anyway, I'm 1:17:28.720 --> 1:17:31.000 going Kareem Hunts. We don't know what Carson Steel is 1:17:31.000 --> 1:17:33.840 going to add to this offense. Samaj p Ryan really 1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:36.400 more of a pass catching back. Kareem Hunt still on 1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:38.720 Kansas City's practice squad, but I feel like we might 1:17:38.720 --> 1:17:40.920 see him elevated next week. If he's out there, go 1:17:40.960 --> 1:17:42.400 grab him? Why not? Who knows? 1:17:42.680 --> 1:17:45.120 Yeah, Joe Mixon, they wanted to be a workhorse. He 1:17:45.680 --> 1:17:49.280 entered the season with seventeen hundred career rushes. This thing 1:17:49.320 --> 1:17:53.120 could be a time bomb. Cam Akers has looked shockingly 1:17:53.320 --> 1:17:56.240 good off the double, the double Achilles tears. 1:17:56.840 --> 1:17:57.800 The guys look good. 1:17:57.960 --> 1:17:59.960 And if Mixon is going to continue to be in 1:18:00.080 --> 1:18:01.760 and out of the starting lineup, I think you're gonna 1:18:01.760 --> 1:18:03.639 want the backup, and I think it's gonna be cam 1:18:03.680 --> 1:18:06.519 Akers over Damian Pierce even going forward with y is healthy. 1:18:06.560 --> 1:18:07.719 Yeah, all right, let's. 1:18:07.560 --> 1:18:10.360 Get back to the matchups. Next one up, Jacksonville taking 1:18:10.400 --> 1:18:10.920 on Buffalo. 1:18:11.000 --> 1:18:13.760 Scott Yeah, I have Trevor Lawrence and most of the 1:18:13.760 --> 1:18:17.639 passing game on the bench. Lowest percentage of aggressive throw rate, third, 1:18:17.720 --> 1:18:21.639 lowest complete completion percentage, and Buffalo held Kyler and two 1:18:21.720 --> 1:18:23.519 it down and got a bunch of picks as well. 1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:25.840 Not a good spot for a guy we just told 1:18:25.880 --> 1:18:29.640 you you should drop in the wide receivers. Among the 1:18:29.640 --> 1:18:33.439 wide receivers, Christian Kirk had that touchdown called back. That hurt, 1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:35.280 but what hurts more is that he's just not in 1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:40.000 it on two wide receiver sets not targeted. Gabe Davis 1:18:40.040 --> 1:18:41.920 does lead the team in target but he's not doing 1:18:41.960 --> 1:18:45.040 a whole lot with Brian Thomas is really the only 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:47.320 one producing, and it's due to a few big plays. 1:18:47.560 --> 1:18:50.960 Buffalo's the third toughest against wide receivers through two weeks, 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:54.360 and it's not for nothing. They faced Marvin Harrison, Tyreek Hill, 1:18:54.439 --> 1:18:58.160 Jalen Waddle. No wide receiver has hit fifty yards on them. 1:18:58.560 --> 1:19:01.559 But they did give up a to touchdown contested catch 1:19:01.600 --> 1:19:04.400 touchdown to Michael Wilson in the same role Brian Thomas 1:19:04.479 --> 1:19:06.880 junior plays. I gave a C grade there I think 1:19:07.160 --> 1:19:09.320 if he gets a touchdown or big plays, he's gonna 1:19:09.320 --> 1:19:12.719 get something done. C grade there. I have a bench 1:19:12.720 --> 1:19:15.960 grade on Brenton Strange, who's taking over for Evan Ingram, 1:19:16.120 --> 1:19:17.920 but I could see going to a CE. He had 1:19:18.000 --> 1:19:21.840 six targets after without Evan Ingram last year last week 1:19:22.120 --> 1:19:25.120 three for sixty five day. The Bills just came up 1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:27.960 a decent days to McBride and John Smith over the 1:19:28.000 --> 1:19:31.600 last two weeks. So it's an an okay spot on 1:19:31.640 --> 1:19:34.479 Monday night if you really need him. Over on the 1:19:34.479 --> 1:19:37.760 Buffalo side, Josh Allen. I got a B grade on 1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:42.000 his rushing. His rushing upsim he's getting two hundred plus yards. 1:19:42.040 --> 1:19:45.160 In the passing game, JAG's allowed a top twelve Fantasy 1:19:45.200 --> 1:19:47.920 week to both Tua and to Watson. It's an okay 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:51.280 spot there. The only receiver really that I have a 1:19:51.320 --> 1:19:54.679 grade on though, is Khalil Shakir, who's the consistent one. 1:19:54.760 --> 1:19:56.800 He's the only one. Three for forty two in a score, 1:19:56.840 --> 1:19:59.799 five for fifty four in a score. Yeah, JAG's allowing 1:19:59.840 --> 1:20:03.920 the fourth most receptions and second most yards to wide receivers. 1:20:04.360 --> 1:20:07.320 Hill and Waddle crushed them. Jerry Judy and Elijah Moore 1:20:07.360 --> 1:20:10.400 both had double digit fantasy days. But you can't trust 1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:12.640 Keon cole If you're gonna trust one, it's gonna be 1:20:12.720 --> 1:20:16.080 Keon Coleman on the outside because where they give up 1:20:16.120 --> 1:20:19.479 the points is the perimeter. Eighth most fantasy points to 1:20:19.560 --> 1:20:22.080 wide receivers, but the second most on the perimeter. So 1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:25.360 Keon Coleman maybe at Darth throw probably a bench grade, 1:20:25.840 --> 1:20:29.479 a C grade on Dalton Kinkaid Jaggs haven't allowed much 1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:33.120 so far. They're but they're firmly in the middle of 1:20:33.160 --> 1:20:35.960 the pack from last year. Several big games allowed at 1:20:35.960 --> 1:20:38.519 the end of last year. Kinkaid probably going to be 1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:42.920 more likely more involved this week than NOx So. B 1:20:43.080 --> 1:20:45.599 grade on James Cook. B grade on James Cook sixth 1:20:45.680 --> 1:20:50.400 highest rate of eight man boxes thirty percent every inside 1:20:50.400 --> 1:20:52.960 the five rush attempt for the Bills. Much like James 1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:56.519 Connor averaging seventeen touches for ninety nine yards with a 1:20:56.520 --> 1:20:59.200 couple catches. We love that, and we just saw Ford 1:20:59.200 --> 1:21:01.679 and Freeman come by for over one hundred yards. Cook 1:21:01.720 --> 1:21:03.600 should get most of that work in this offense eight 1:21:03.920 --> 1:21:06.280 week one also over one hundred total yards. Yeah, Cook 1:21:06.280 --> 1:21:08.320 will get all that, So be grade for Cook. 1:21:08.160 --> 1:21:10.880 I like him here for Brian for San Francisco and 1:21:11.439 --> 1:21:14.200 Los Angeles. This would have been, in an alternate reality, 1:21:14.200 --> 1:21:16.240 a high flying game with tons of starters all over 1:21:16.240 --> 1:21:18.519 the place, and it'd be fully thrilling. 1:21:18.560 --> 1:21:20.040 But it's the wheelchair Bowl. 1:21:20.439 --> 1:21:21.880 That's what I'm calling the wheelchair Bowl. 1:21:21.920 --> 1:21:24.479 I'd like the wheelchair bal you know, you know, combined 1:21:24.520 --> 1:21:27.120 like twenty injuries and starters between these two teams. 1:21:27.160 --> 1:21:29.599 Yeah, I'll be pretty quick standing here. Jordan Mason is 1:21:29.600 --> 1:21:32.280 definitely left standing. He gets an A for the Niners, 1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:35.519 the Rams only fifth highest opponent rushing play percentage nearly 1:21:35.560 --> 1:21:37.600 sixty percent, and this should be a smash spot for 1:21:37.680 --> 1:21:40.720 Jordan Mason, who runs like the second coming of Beast mode. 1:21:40.760 --> 1:21:43.040 He looks like a league winner right now. Brandon Ayuke 1:21:43.040 --> 1:21:47.160 gets an A. Basically the only healthy, starting original wide 1:21:47.160 --> 1:21:49.400 receiver left for the forty nine ers. It's been a 1:21:49.439 --> 1:21:53.120 slow start for a Uk, somewhat understandable considering he sat 1:21:53.120 --> 1:21:55.320 out most of the training camp in the preseason, but 1:21:55.320 --> 1:21:58.960 with George Kittle and active Deebo Samuel and active, it's 1:21:59.000 --> 1:22:01.800 time for Ayuke to step up a little. Concerned about gamescript, 1:22:01.800 --> 1:22:04.080 the Rams are yielding just thirteen targets per game to 1:22:04.120 --> 1:22:06.000 wide receivers. But you are going to start Ayuk. I'm 1:22:06.000 --> 1:22:08.680 giving him an a. You're definitely gonna start Juwan Jennings here, 1:22:08.800 --> 1:22:10.880 take a chance on me wide receiver charge. I'm fully 1:22:10.920 --> 1:22:12.720 with you there. I was gonna give him a very 1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.439 strong sea. I mentioned George kittle out. I'm not gonna 1:22:15.439 --> 1:22:18.040 give Eric Salbert a starting grade, but I will throw 1:22:18.080 --> 1:22:21.200 a bare minimum. Darted him in Daily Fantasy Sports this weekend, 1:22:21.479 --> 1:22:24.960 and lastly for San Francisco Brock Purdy just to see 1:22:24.960 --> 1:22:28.320 for him obviously missing some weapons. Game script a concern, 1:22:28.600 --> 1:22:31.479 Sam France. I'm sorry. The Rams on the fifth lowest 1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:34.680 opponent passing play percentage, and the over under for this 1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:37.000 game is set at just forty three. This is like 1:22:37.000 --> 1:22:40.559 a fifty seven point over under in previous years. Over 1:22:40.560 --> 1:22:42.920 to the Rams side, Kyrien Williams gets to see a 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:45.599 little scared of Blake Koram, who finally saw the field 1:22:45.640 --> 1:22:47.680 in Week two, only took eight snaps, so he did 1:22:47.720 --> 1:22:50.439 get a carry on each snap. Blake Koram did, but 1:22:50.479 --> 1:22:54.280 William's still the clear lead back should see twenty plus opportunities, 1:22:55.040 --> 1:22:58.320 so he gets a safe see here. Not so safe 1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:02.080 seas for DeMarcus Robinson and Kyler Johnson, the starting wide outs. 1:23:02.080 --> 1:23:05.160 I wasn't gonna give Jordan Whitt whittingtonnes See, but I'm 1:23:05.200 --> 1:23:07.360 with Fish. I think you just grabbed him as a 1:23:07.400 --> 1:23:10.439 prespect right now. See how he shapes out in this offense. 1:23:10.439 --> 1:23:12.800 But just to see for Robinson and Johnson, the forty 1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:15.080 nine Ers are one of twelve teams yielding at least 1:23:15.080 --> 1:23:18.080 eighteen targets to wide receivers. The Rams should be chasing 1:23:18.120 --> 1:23:20.800 points here. That's why I'll also give Colby Parkinson to 1:23:20.840 --> 1:23:23.920 see my boy five catches for forty seven yards last week. 1:23:24.000 --> 1:23:25.920 We'll take that all day in the tight end wastelan 1:23:26.080 --> 1:23:28.559 right now. Parkinson also might be the best red zone 1:23:28.560 --> 1:23:30.880 option for the Rams of these days. But lastly, Matt 1:23:30.920 --> 1:23:33.240 Stafford on the bench. This team's way too banged up. 1:23:33.360 --> 1:23:34.200 Way too banged up. 1:23:34.360 --> 1:23:36.960 We got the weird two Monday night football games and 1:23:36.960 --> 1:23:39.120 they're starting him within like an hour of each other, 1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:42.320 which I hate it. I'm so dumb. Washington Cincinnati is 1:23:42.520 --> 1:23:45.599 one of those. Let's start with Jayden Daniels. He's quarterback 1:23:45.720 --> 1:23:50.599 four with zero passing touchdowns. Unbelievable thanks to his one 1:23:50.680 --> 1:23:53.520 hundred and thirty five rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. 1:23:53.600 --> 1:23:58.160 Cincinnati allowed thirty two rushing yards to Jacoby Brissette earlier 1:23:58.439 --> 1:24:01.519 and twenty nine to Patrick mahon. So the rushing's going 1:24:01.600 --> 1:24:03.800 to continue for Jade and Daniels. I don't know that 1:24:03.840 --> 1:24:05.760 he's going to throw a touchdown and get into that 1:24:05.840 --> 1:24:09.800 column yet, because those are really good Cincinnati secondary that 1:24:09.880 --> 1:24:13.680 ranks number two in passing yards allowed despite facing Patrick Mahomes. 1:24:13.760 --> 1:24:17.000 So just to be great on Jayden Daniels for his receivers. 1:24:17.080 --> 1:24:19.840 Terry mclaurin's on the bench. He is getting killed by 1:24:19.960 --> 1:24:24.480 Jaden Daniels short passing. Daniels has only thrown five passes 1:24:24.640 --> 1:24:27.840 longer than fifteen yards and he's only completed two of those. 1:24:27.840 --> 1:24:32.640 Five of his eight completions to Terry McLaurin, half of 1:24:32.680 --> 1:24:37.880 them are for negative yards. You can't you can't accumulate 1:24:37.960 --> 1:24:40.560 fantasy points going negative on your receptions. 1:24:40.600 --> 1:24:42.959 I bang the drum hard for Terry in the preseason. 1:24:43.000 --> 1:24:43.960 I'm feeling it right now. 1:24:44.080 --> 1:24:47.519 Terry runs ninety six percent of his routes from the 1:24:47.640 --> 1:24:50.639 left side of the field. That's the same side as 1:24:50.680 --> 1:24:54.839 star cornerback cam Taylor britt he is Pro Football focuses 1:24:55.200 --> 1:24:56.160 number one. 1:24:56.200 --> 1:24:57.959 Ranked cornerback Great. 1:24:58.000 --> 1:25:02.240 Terry McLaurin on the bench. Let's go to the running game. 1:25:03.120 --> 1:25:06.000 Brian Robinson. Now in his third year, Robinson looks leaner, 1:25:06.040 --> 1:25:08.920 he looks more chisseled. He's running hard, averaging five yards 1:25:08.960 --> 1:25:13.200 after contact, double last year's rate. Last year, Robinson had 1:25:13.240 --> 1:25:16.200 just eight runs of more than fifteen yards all year. 1:25:16.280 --> 1:25:21.080 This year, three Bengals are steamrolled by Ramandre Stevenson in 1:25:21.120 --> 1:25:23.360 the opener, and they were in process of getting steamrolled 1:25:23.360 --> 1:25:26.000 by Isaiah Pacheco before his injury last week. I like 1:25:26.120 --> 1:25:29.920 Robinson here, B grade on him. Austin Eckler has proven 1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:32.200 to be the PPR helper that we thought he would 1:25:32.200 --> 1:25:36.160 be a pre season Cincinnati has allowed a one hundred 1:25:36.280 --> 1:25:41.080 percent catch rate to opposing runner nine targets, nine catches. 1:25:41.439 --> 1:25:44.200 I like Eckler here quite a bit as well. Flirted 1:25:44.320 --> 1:25:47.040 with a B grade, ultimately gave him a C grade. 1:25:47.080 --> 1:25:49.160 Oh and zach Ertz I almost forgot been a good 1:25:49.160 --> 1:25:51.920 safety valve for Daniels. He's got seven to eight passes 1:25:51.920 --> 1:25:54.000 that have come his way. The Bengals have been great 1:25:54.000 --> 1:25:57.000 against tight ends this year, completely shutting down Hunter Henry 1:25:57.000 --> 1:25:59.840 and Travis Kelce. I'm gonna give you a C grade, 1:26:00.160 --> 1:26:03.200 zach Ertz, but it's like thirty It's like thirty five 1:26:03.479 --> 1:26:05.000 yards on four catches. 1:26:04.680 --> 1:26:06.760 So you know, I don't know that's the secret and 1:26:06.800 --> 1:26:09.280 tight ends. Yeah, kind of kind of a B grade. 1:26:09.160 --> 1:26:09.559 It might be. 1:26:10.720 --> 1:26:14.439 Let's go to the Cincinnati side. Joe Burrow a grade. Oh, 1:26:15.040 --> 1:26:18.400 just like last year, Washington allowing the most fantasy points 1:26:18.439 --> 1:26:21.160 to opposing quarterbacks. And it's not like they played Josh 1:26:21.200 --> 1:26:24.200 Allen and Patrick Mahomes here. They have face Baker Mayfield 1:26:24.240 --> 1:26:29.360 and Daniel Jones. Sixteen of the last eighteen opposing quarterbacks 1:26:29.760 --> 1:26:33.479 to face Washington have thrown multiple touchdowns. The two who 1:26:33.520 --> 1:26:39.479 did not mac Jones and Trevor Simeon. Burrow sitting out 1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:41.519 at least two touchdowns in this game, and he looked 1:26:41.600 --> 1:26:43.360 much better in Week two than he did in Week one. 1:26:43.439 --> 1:26:46.519 Jamar Chase obviously, he's my top ranked wide receiver this week. 1:26:46.840 --> 1:26:49.800 T Higgins expected to come back. Now, if I knew 1:26:49.800 --> 1:26:52.439 he was going to get a full workload, I would 1:26:52.439 --> 1:26:56.440 give t Higgins a B grade against the league's worst secondary. 1:26:57.160 --> 1:26:59.360 But the Bengals don't need him to win this game, 1:26:59.439 --> 1:27:00.680 and I think they EA's T. 1:27:00.920 --> 1:27:03.400 Higgins shirt, So I think. 1:27:03.320 --> 1:27:06.120 He's gonna only see like half of the routes in 1:27:06.160 --> 1:27:08.800 this game. And so I'm giving T. Higgins a C 1:27:08.920 --> 1:27:10.840 grade out of respect for who he is, and half 1:27:10.840 --> 1:27:14.439 of the routes might be enough against Washington. But if 1:27:14.479 --> 1:27:19.920 you're in a pinch, Andre Josebash could still be playable here, 1:27:20.000 --> 1:27:24.320 because again, the Commander's so bad against the pass, he 1:27:24.439 --> 1:27:26.679 might be able to get a little something here done. 1:27:26.760 --> 1:27:29.160 If you agree that Higgins isn't gonna be the guy now, 1:27:29.439 --> 1:27:32.960 if you've got Higgins, put him in your flex for 1:27:33.120 --> 1:27:36.400 the Monday night game. Pick up Andre Josebash just in 1:27:36.479 --> 1:27:39.639 case Higgins isn't active in the game, because Josebash at 1:27:39.680 --> 1:27:43.360 that point would be a stone cold sleeper and potentially 1:27:43.439 --> 1:27:45.360 a nice play for your fantasy team. 1:27:45.920 --> 1:27:47.040 Let's go to the running backs. 1:27:47.680 --> 1:27:51.320 Zach Moss. Washington is a decent run defense. They rank 1:27:51.360 --> 1:27:54.280 eleventh in ESPN's run stuff win Rate. They ranked twelfth 1:27:54.280 --> 1:27:56.640 in Pro Football Focus is run defense. They're giving up 1:27:56.680 --> 1:28:00.200 a healthy four point six yards per carry. Moss dominant 1:28:00.280 --> 1:28:02.880 the snap counts over Chase Brown and he's getting the 1:28:02.880 --> 1:28:07.200 goal line work. In two years of NFL service so far, 1:28:08.240 --> 1:28:10.639 Chase Brown has never touched the ball inside the five 1:28:10.720 --> 1:28:11.960 yard line, not once. 1:28:12.240 --> 1:28:12.719 Wow. 1:28:12.760 --> 1:28:14.680 So Zach Boss comes in with a B grade on 1:28:14.720 --> 1:28:16.360 this one, And really, I think where we are with 1:28:16.439 --> 1:28:19.200 Chase Brown is he's just a handcuff at this point. 1:28:19.439 --> 1:28:22.320 He had that like one awesome touchdown last year and 1:28:22.360 --> 1:28:24.800 people just remember that with Jayce Brown, we. 1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:25.479 Do that sometimes. 1:28:26.000 --> 1:28:29.720 Hey, reminder, you can get all the amazing tools at 1:28:29.760 --> 1:28:33.840 Fantasy Life at twenty percent off.
