Speaker 1: along with the guys from League dot Com, here's your host.

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: It's championship Week. We are here to help you bring

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: home the hardware in this the ultimate week of the

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: fantasy football season. I Paul Cherochi and my co host

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: today Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. Hello, guys, Hi, I

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: am sure you're both alive in several leagues. I'm playing

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: in several leagues as well. Nope, none, none, not one, Nope.

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: It's the fantasy playoffs of hell this year. And it

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how good of a team you've built, it's

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: all blown up in this. It's kind of true. I

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: mean you you could have assembled the perfect roster and

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: just had Covid chip away at it over these past

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: few weeks to the point that it doesn't matter. I

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: thought I did. That's what happened. It's it's tough. It's

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: this is it's as difficult a year as there's been

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: in many ways, as unjust a year as there's ever

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: been in fantasy football. History, because there's you know, there's

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: no justice or knowing who's going to get COVID who's not.

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: It's you know, there were just so many things up

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: in the air this week and this year. So we're

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: here to help you for the final time this year

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: get ready for the weekend's actions. But I want to

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: remind you Fantasy Football Weekly continues even though we will

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: not be in our extended two hour format. We will

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: not be over the air. We will be in our

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: podcast format, and we encourage you to subscribe if you

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: haven't already, so you can continue to get Fantasy Football

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Weekly all off season as well. But this is the

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: official end of year twenty seven. Yes, this is the

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: this is the end of twenty seven. I'm not sure

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: if twenty eight begins until next August, so maybe this

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: is it's the of the on air part. It's the

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: end of twenty seven years. I was realizing this is

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: my ninth year, so I've gone through nine times worth

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly so far. Feels like a lot more,

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. Man, it drags, it

40
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: really does. Speaking of things that drag, the Panthers take

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: on the Saints and wait game I will put the

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: over under on your starters for this game. Both teams

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: are two and a half. Well, since I already uh

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: maybe clued you in on this, I have two starters

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: in this game. It's pretty bad here. The first starter

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: is DJ More of the Carolina Panthers. Last week, with

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: the hybrid of Cam and Sam at quarterback, the Panthers

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: actually attempted forty five passes against Tampa Bay, which led

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to eleven targets for more actually ten targets for Robby

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Anderson to more seen at least ten targets in four straight.

51
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: The quality of the targets just hasn't been there though.

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: The match up against the Saints is similar to the

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Bucks last week, easier to pass on than run, so

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I expect another high volume passing day, but just to

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: see grade for more because these throws haven't been great.

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Olive Anderson on the bench, but if you need an

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: absolute home run dart throw, I could see throwing him

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: in some lie and ups Chuba Hubbard. He's obviously on

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: the bench. In the last two weeks, he's totaled fourteen

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: carries for forty nine yards. That's total in two weeks.

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Gross and the Saints are very stingy against the run.

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: On the other side, Alvin Kamara, he gets just a

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: C grade here with you on this, especially if those

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: tackles don't play Tara Armstrong, Ryan ram Check. They've arm instead,

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: They've been They've missed the better part of a month. Now.

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: They both could come back for this game, and then

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little more interest in Kimara. Without them, I'm

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: nervous even with uh He's been held at bay by

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: two good defenses in Tampa and Miami in the last

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: two weeks, and in rolls in Carolina, and the Panthers

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: have allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns, the fewest reception receptions

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: and receiving yards to opposing backs, and they have not

73
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: allowed one receiving touchdown to an opposing running back on

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: the year. That eats into a lot of Camara's awesomeness.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: In eight career meetings with the Panthers, Camara has topped

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: sixty seven rushing yards once. Geez, that's it, and in

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: the meeting with the Panthers back in Week three, he

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: was held to twelve total touches and thirty total yards.

79
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: He does get a sea because the Panthers will be

80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: missing what looks like four of their starting front seven

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: in this game, So there's a little hope there. Uh,

82
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and Marquez Callaway would be the only guys

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: you would consider in the passing game, but I have

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: them both on the bench. The Panthers are allowing under

85
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: two passing yards per game, and the only really good

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: game allowed by the Panthers this year to quarterbacks where

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in Week five and Kirk Cousins in Week six.

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: Since then, no quarterback has topped two two yards and

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: only two quarterbacks have been able to manage multiple touchdowns.

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: And since that Hurts game, no quarterback has scored on

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: the ground either, So that hurts Taysom Hill. So they

92
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: are on your bench, and that is it for that

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: terrible game which might hit twenty total points. I think

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe defensive points. Didn't think of that. I mean,

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: it's probably how most of the points are scored here.

96
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Scott Falcons take on the Bills, and the storyline to

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline for the Falcons, Haman, the disappearance of

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: cour Darrel Patterson was you know, I think through September,

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: October and much of November was the best story in

100
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: fantasy football, and now virtually I'm starting. I'm finally I'm

101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: finally ready charged. The last few weeks, I've been giving

102
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: you to ben him, but he keeps scoring. So I

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: have not been wrong on those starts because he scored

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: each of them one touchdown in twelve yards. Yeah, maybe

105
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: he maybe he deserved to see last week instead of higher,

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: but uh, I'm finally with you on this one. This week.

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Patterson over the last five weeks has been held up

108
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: by his four scores. That's that's the only thing holding

109
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: him up. He's Uh. His usage has gone way down,

110
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: both receiving and running the ball. He gets Sea level

111
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: amounts of touches still, though the scoring keeps him in lineups.

112
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: This week, I think he's his his ceiling is closer

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: to his see. I have the volume C grade on

114
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: him because of how much red zone usage he gets,

115
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: but his ten plus touches red zone usage, I'm barely

116
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: given him a SEA this week. I would I would

117
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: give him a bench grade. But that's all right. That's fine.

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: That's fine. That's if people can mention, if they have

119
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: the options to bench him, that's that's fine. I'm okay

120
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: with it. I have Matt Ryan on the bench a

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: couple more games, a couple more qbs facing the Bills

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: under a hundred and seventy five yards. That's now five

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: games in the last six where the Bills of health

124
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: quarterback under a hundred seventy five yards. Brady is the

125
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: only one that got past that market. And Matt Ryan,

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: he hasn't had multiple touchdowns since Week nine. You're just

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: not starting him. You're not starting him any week. Russell Gauge,

128
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on He had a nice

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: run when the volume was there, top twelve wide receiver

130
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: three out the last four weeks, but he crashed last week.

131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: He still had five plus targets, he had like forty

132
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: nine yards. It's it wasn't that bad of a game.

133
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: I have a sea level start on him here. It

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup, but he's really going to be

135
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: the only guy out there in the ride wide receiving

136
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: corps and almost every week he's getting forty to sixty

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: plus yards possible scores, and the Bills are allowing forty

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: to sixty yards to their top wide receiver each week.

139
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: If you're looking at four to five catches, forty to

140
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: sixty yards. That's sea level. In my mind, that's like

141
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: a zero elevation start sea level. Yes, they're sure that works,

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: cal Pits, I have a B grade. Um, there we go.

143
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Bills are tough against tight ends, but they here's how

144
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: they've done against top twelve types Top twelve when they

145
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: played Gasecki. Both times, Kelsey and Gronk all had forty

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: to sixty five yards and several scores. Among them, Logan

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Thomas had a six dr day and score against them.

148
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: All the other tight ends, the non twelve top twelve

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: guys average about eleven yards per name. That's why they're

150
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: That's why overall they're great. So the Kelsey, Grondkasecki, I

151
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: put Pits up with them. I have a B grade

152
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: on him because he gets six plus touches in all

153
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: but two games. The tight ends that have had that

154
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: volume have had the good days against the Bills. Over

155
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: on the Bill side, A grade for John John this season,

156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: he's just had just one game where he didn't have

157
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: at least three d total yards that's passing plus rushing

158
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Just one game, and that was the

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: windy New England game, so it doesn't count he's done

160
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: in every game. Now he gets the third easiest matchup

161
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. I'm loving his top guy digs here against

162
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons team that's fourth easiest against wide receivers. Uh,

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: it feels like he's had kind of a down year

164
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: for some reason. I feel like Diggs. It feels like

165
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: it started last year. It's not as good as last year, right,

166
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: and it started slowly for Diggs as well. He's seen

167
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: over seven targets in every game. He's had fifty plus

168
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: yards and or score in literally every game this year's

169
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: he has hundred fifty three touchdowns games like last year,

170
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: but he's been solidly consistent. He's got nine touchdowns. I

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: do have an A grade on him here against this

172
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: matchup now with Sanders likely out, he's questionable, but he's

173
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: likely gonna be out. He hasn't practiced this week. Davis

174
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: is going to be back, Beasley is going to be back,

175
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: and they they're really digging Isaiah Mackenzie this week in practice.

176
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: They used him a fair amount last week. They used

177
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: him a ton last week, and they really liked what

178
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: they got out of him. I have them on the

179
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: bench because I think they're gonna just each other. Yeah,

180
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: I just monopolize each other's targets. Um, I liked it

181
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: better when a couple of them were out. We could

182
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: make a dart throw out of one of them, but

183
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: we can't. Here, Dawston Knox be grade. What happened last

184
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: week is basically what exactly what we called. We didn't

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: think he'd have high volume, but we thought he could

186
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: score because he's been scoring a lot. He got a

187
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: one year touching on at the very end of the

188
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: game and really saved some folks. The Falcons, however, allowed

189
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: scores and big games to Gronk Gasecki got her. Kittle

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: had six for ninety two two weeks ago. Good tight

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: ends play against the Falcons. Gotta be greade on Knox here.

192
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Over the last three weeks, he has forty

193
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: four rush attempts. Breda has four, Zack Moss has four.

194
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: That's it. It's all his back backfield now, and somehow

195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: it's still he's still not fantasy relevant since Terry just

196
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: can't find his way to be somebody you want to

197
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: put in your lineup. I know, but this week I

198
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of like him because he's a good pass catcher,

199
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: He's got five plus catches in three to last four games.

200
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta is It's shocking. Atlantic is bad against pass catching

201
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: running backs for the twentieth year in a row. It

202
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: seems like their bottom ten, allowing the seventh most receptions

203
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: and yards to pass catching running backs. Given his full

204
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: workload and the amount of receptions he's probably gonna get

205
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: in this one, I gotta be grade on Signletary this weekend.

206
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty bold considering what he's done. Giants

207
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: take on the Bears will still be our last matchup

208
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: of this segment, Thank god. Yeah, no kidding and ending

209
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: on an awfully exciting one, aren't we yea Giants? What

210
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I meant? Right? Every part of the passing game for

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: the Giants is obviously on the bench, and we don't

212
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: even have to explain that, but I will mention this.

213
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: The team's leading receiver last week had twenty eight yards. Yeah,

214
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: that's it's come to this for the passing game. But

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: what about Sae Kwon Barkley? You may ask, is this

216
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: your last chance to get value out of that lace

217
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: first round pick you put into Sae Kwon Barkley? Hell? No,

218
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: no bench grade for sake, Kwon Barkley with declining rushing

219
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: and receiving yards in three consecutive weeks. He's hit the

220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: end zone once since Week four. DeVante Bookers stealing carries

221
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: and receptions, not just doing carries. They was talked this

222
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: week that they're gonna split the workload between the two.

223
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if se Kwon Barkley is in

224
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: a similar offense with Daniel Jones next year. What round

225
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: is he taken in next year? I mean, if it's

226
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: basically this same team, is he a third round pick? Fourth, fourth, fifth, Yeah,

227
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: I think that's probably about where he'll go. Unfortunately, it's

228
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: just the reality of where it is because we replay

229
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: the previous season with drafting um Chicago's the middle of

230
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: the pack run defense, but the Bears are six in

231
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: receiving yards allowed to running backs and they're giving up

232
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: just thirty yards through the air, and a lot of

233
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: what Barkley has been able, what little values had has

234
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: come through the air. Can't even count on that. So

235
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm leaving him on the bench. You got here without

236
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: him somehow to the championship week. You shouldn't need him here.

237
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bears yeah, no kidding. Uh, David

238
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Montgomery gets an A grade. He's surpassed twenty touches in

239
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: four of the last five games. I love the volume.

240
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: He's turned those opportunities into an average of nine seven

241
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: total yards per game and two touchdowns over that five

242
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: game span. He's also seen his role in the passing

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: game explode, leading the Bears with thirty four targets and

244
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: twenty nine receptions over that same five game span. Only

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: three teams have allowed more running back touches than the

246
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: nearly thirty per game that New York permits here. So

247
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: all the volume and opportunities for David Montgomery and a

248
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: grade for him this week. I like justin fields here.

249
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: We liked. We talked about this last week and then

250
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: he didn't end up playing. But he's back for this

251
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: week or expecting to be back for this week. Um,

252
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Andy Dalton was named starter? Is he okay?

253
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, Edie Dalton. I was gonna let

254
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: me let me you might be right about I haven't

255
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: looked today for new news. It's possible you're right about that.

256
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: It's uh. I was hoping you'd be able to go.

257
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: He had had had top ten fantasy quarterback finishes in

258
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: four straight weeks, and they have named Dalton starter. Okay, well,

259
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton doesn't bring a lot to the table here

260
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give him no more than a C grade.

261
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Against the Giants. New York secondary isn't terrible, but they've

262
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: given up multiple touchdowns in into a bunch of middling

263
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: pastors like Teddy Bridgewater and Taylor Heineke and Matt Ryanan

264
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: and to a tongueo Via Loa. So I can see

265
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: a C grade on Andy Dalton, but no higher than that,

266
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: and you're not going to start him here in the

267
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: championship week. Darnell Mooney gets a C grade. He's seen

268
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: at least seven targets in five of his last six games,

269
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: including nine from Nick Foles last week. Nine times. That's

270
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: three times as many as the next highest receiver at

271
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: the Bears. So really, this passing offense goes through Mooney

272
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: and Montgomery. Over their last four games, New York allowing

273
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: the eleventh most yards to receivers hundred sixty per game.

274
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: They've given a five scores to the position as well,

275
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: so in the last four games, so there's a there's

276
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: a nice opportunity for for Mooney here. He doesn't always

277
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: make the best of these good opportunities on paper because

278
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I I think I've recommended him a lot over the

279
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: last month or so, he hasn't done much for us here.

280
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: He'll go up against James Bradbury and Logan Ryan the most.

281
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: They're both allowing a passer rating of at least in

282
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: their coverage. When we come back, take a chance on me,

283
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: and you would think at the end of the year

284
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: in the championship game, you wouldn't have to go dumpster

285
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: diving for players. Yeah you do, No, no, no. With

286
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: COVID out there and Amicron, yes, suddenly we need all

287
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: those guys that you can find off of the waiver wire.

288
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Will help you identify nine players that you would not

289
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: normally start in the championship game, but you can this

290
00:14:53,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: week when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, on

291
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: me nine players not only in your starting lineup, we

292
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: will tell you who they are be going to get

293
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback position and Matt Harrison, who you got. Derek

294
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Carr has the fifth most passing attempts on the year

295
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: and the third most yards, and the Raiders are not

296
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: afraid to air it out. They face the Colts team

297
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: that scuffled a bit in the last half of the

298
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: year since Week eight, the Colts allowed Ryan Tannehill to

299
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: have his only good game in the second half of

300
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: the season. Then Jet Josh Johnson through for three seventeen

301
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and three against them, and Mac Jones hit his high

302
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: water mark for the last mark with and two in

303
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: week fifteen. So fire up, Derek Carr. All right, Scott,

304
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: you're get chance at the quarterback. I'm going with Tyler

305
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Snoop Puntley if we're gonna throw out their nicknames, and

306
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: might as well throw out Tyler Snoop Puntley. His worst

307
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: rushing game on the years forty yards, his worst passing

308
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: game on the year fifteen yards. In the in games

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: he start started, He's a threat to score with his

310
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: legs at all times. He's got three scores in the

311
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: last three games. They're gonna they're likely going to be

312
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: chasing points in this one. Um. And also that rams

313
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: pass runch pass rush I think makes Huntley get outside

314
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: the pocket and run front for his life. A nickname thought,

315
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: I thought you said Josh Jet Johnson. No, he was

316
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: a Jet at the time, Okay, I I think we're

317
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: just throw it out there. Okay, no, not everybody on

318
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: the Jets is nickname Jet. I'm going with Tray Laser

319
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: Lance because apparently everybody has to have a nickname now,

320
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: and I've just given one to Tray Lance. With Jimmy

321
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Garoppolo out, Lance is your starter against Hugh Houston. We've

322
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: seen Lance for major parts of two games. In the

323
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: first game, he threw two touchdowns. Second game, he ran

324
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: for eighty nine yards. So what if he rolls that

325
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: all together into one game. What if we get rushing

326
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: and passing against Houston. It's certainly possible. Houston secondary is competent.

327
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: It's not great, it's competent. And the Niners receivers are

328
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: dramatically better than anybody basically the Houston seen all year,

329
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: and Lance has got the big arm. All he needs

330
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: to do is a couple of deep connections and a

331
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: couple of rushes. Get the ball into the hands of Deebo, Samuel,

332
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Brandon. I let them do something specially. You

333
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: can find your way to a good game with Tray

334
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Lance on the ground and through the air. Let's go

335
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: to the running back position, Matt. I've got a double

336
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: up here. I've got the gatekeeper, Ronald Jones and the

337
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: key master Keyshawn Vaughan. Uh, we can do double again,

338
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: do the double there. Jones is the more obvious one here,

339
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: he's roster and of the leagues, but Vaughn is widely

340
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: available and startable in a pinch against the Jets because

341
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: the Jets are terrible against the run. How terrible are they?

342
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: They're more terrible against the run than Charge's attitude when

343
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: we even try to say the words plus or minus

344
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: on the quiet. They're more terrible against the run than

345
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Scott Fishes with the food pyramid. They're more terrible against

346
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: the run than Matt was in the Big Bore Guillotine League.

347
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: They're even worse than Colin mccockney. Running backs are averaging

348
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixties six Comboy yards and two scores

349
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: a game against the Jets. Yeah, I mean, I mean

350
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: that was my Rodney dangerfield. It's really right there, nicely done. Uh,

351
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: you're running back, Scott, you take a chance of be're

352
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: running back. I'm going with Boston, Scott, and apparently to

353
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: add Jordan Howard to it, all right, why not? Wait? Wait, wait,

354
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Boston what's his nickname? Boston? Boston. He's the only fully

355
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: healthy back right now for this team with Sanders is

356
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: out with a broken hand. Howard has a stinger and

357
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: kind of Gainewell has an ankle injury. So and he

358
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: was very useful, very productive in his loans darts. If

359
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard does go, they both might be usable. This

360
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: is This is an Eagles team that lit up Washington

361
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: for two hundred yards in their last out, and over

362
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, Washington d has been free

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: falling against the run. They've allowed a couple of touchdowns,

364
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of sixty and a hundred yard rushers. UM

365
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: good spot for both of them, but I like Boston's

366
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: got a little bit more. Howard is top fifty six

367
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: total yards in every game in which he's seen the field.

368
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: And so if he is a lot of stripe work too,

369
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: he does. Who doesn't like stripe work? We all do?

370
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Does he have a nickname? Stripe work? I like it?

371
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: All right, great, we'll go with that. I'm going with

372
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: h Do you dare to start? Darre on goon? Dare

373
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: to dream? How dare to dream? Dar to dream? Work?

374
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Chopping on the fly oh, Jordan Howard's nickname was the

375
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: Bulldozer was well, it makes sense. I don't know. I

376
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: like the strip striper's way better way. After Robinson left

377
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: the ton Achilles. Last week, dare goombo wal A played

378
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: every offensive snap except one. He put up seventy two

379
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: total yards and a score. Last week they gave him

380
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: nineteen touches in a reserve role, so this is there. Obviously,

381
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: will have no hesitancy to use him copiously against the Jets,

382
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: arguably the worst run defense in the league. Sorry the Patriots.

383
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: The Jets last week worst one of the worst run defenses,

384
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 1: and the lead. You wouldn't think it. They're giving up

385
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: the six most total yards one fifty three per game

386
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. They don't give up a ton

387
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: of touchdowns here, but anybody who's having that much success

388
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: on the ground's got a chance to score. Now, you

389
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: may remember dar A to dream oh goonbow A had

390
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: a similar role at the end of last year. They

391
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: had to go to him in a pinch and he performed. Well, there,

392
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: here's another opportunity just to pile on. He was a

393
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: great pass catcher in uh in Tampa a few years

394
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: ago and the paths are missing four linebackers on COVID.

395
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: There we go, that another opportunity. There you go, another

396
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: reason to day to dream. Let's go to the wide

397
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: receiver position, Matt, I've got Davante Carnival Parker. Parker has

398
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: played in two consecutive games. Well, sorry, Parker has not

399
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: played in two consecutive games since Week three and Week four.

400
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: This is true. I would not have guessed. Yeah, okay,

401
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: but he's had at least seventy seven yards or a

402
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: score in three of his last four games played. They've

403
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: been spaced out a bit though. Uh. This week he

404
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: gets a tightened secondary that could be missing starting cornerback

405
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit Jenkins. And that's not a nickname with an

406
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: ankle injury, and it is a nickname that he's turned

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: into his full name. That's true. And I think that's

408
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: sort of weird. And did he go to the d

409
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: m V and like, um, you know, I think you

410
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: got to go to the judge. You can't go to

411
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: the d m V and change change it there. Uh. Then,

412
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: and and back up Busted green Door, who is currently

413
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, so he's gonna probably see Christian

414
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Fulton Fulton gave up seven catches for a hundred and

415
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: thirty three yards in his coverage just last week against

416
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco, So fire up, Davante Parker. Your is that

417
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: his full name? Carnival Partner? Um? All right, Scott, You'll

418
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: take a chance to be a wide receiver. I'm gonna

419
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: go with Noah nickname Fant. The Charger's sea has allowed

420
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: the second most and the second most receiving yards and

421
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: the second most scores to tight ends. And oh, they

422
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: have Jerry Judy on COVID, Tim Patrick on COVID, and

423
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: Sutton is likely to be on COVID by the time

424
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: possibly you're listening to this, so they're gonna have very

425
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: few other options to go to. I am using Arizona

426
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver Christian Captain Kirk uh huh as he that works,

427
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: it does. He's been the long listeners are pleased off.

428
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: He's been the leading every time I'm on this show.

429
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: Charch does a Star Trek reference. I don't know what's

430
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: with him. He's been the leading receiver since DeAndre Hopkins

431
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: was placed on injured reserve, and he is gonna go.

432
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Kobayashi Maru the Dallas Cowboys Kirk has at least nine

433
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: targets and seven catches in each of these games. Without

434
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, he's averaging seventy one yards. And you might think, oh,

435
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: but Chart, we can't start anybody against the likes of

436
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: of of Trayvon Diggs. He's too good. But what do

437
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: we always remind people on this show? Trayvon Diggs a

438
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: lot more yardage in his coverage than any cornerback. And

439
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Kirk works out of the slot a lot, and there

440
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: he faces Anthony Brown, who's allowed the third most yardage

441
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: in his coverage. Christian Captain Kirk is our final take

442
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: a Chance of Me player Charch. We're never going to

443
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: remember this, but I think that we should always give

444
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: a nickname to every take a Chance on Me player

445
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: from But we're not going to remember Brick because it

446
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: is the last show of the year. We're gonna be

447
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: a listener to remind us. Please do but if somebody

448
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: put this in your calendar for next for next August,

449
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: and remind us that that we've talked about doing this

450
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: but have not committed to doing this. All right, let's

451
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: work too through a couple more matchups. Raiders take on

452
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: the Colts Matt you already told us you like Derek

453
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: Carr in this one, so I means you must like

454
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: at least some of his receivers. Some of them Hunter

455
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: Renfro has been clamped down by a couple of good

456
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: secondaries in Cleveland and Denver over the last two weeks.

457
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: The Colts have actually been one of the best secondaries

458
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: in the league against wide receivers in the last month

459
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: and change. In their last four games, wide receivers have

460
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: averaged as a group only nine three total receiving yards,

461
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: and they've only allowed one total touchdown to wide receiver

462
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. With that, I can't give

463
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Renfro more than a C grade, but I hope the

464
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: volume goes up here. Darren Waller landed on the COVID

465
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: list on Wednesday, which means he has a very outside

466
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: chance to play Sunday. If he does go, he gets

467
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: an A grade. If he doesn't go, Foster Kobe I

468
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: she Morow becomes start worthy against with a C grade

469
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: here because the Colts have allowed the most receptions and

470
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: yards to the tight end position this season. The only

471
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: on the Raider to start as uh Josh Jacobs. He's

472
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: back to Bell Cowing only gets a C grade. Here

473
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight touches last week, the one back has top

474
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Only one back has topped sixty rushing yards against the

475
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: Colts in their last seven games. They have given up

476
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: a fair amount of receiving work though in the last

477
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: month to opposing backs, and Jacob has been a very

478
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: good receiver in the latter half of the year. Jonathan Taylor,

479
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: he gets the fantasy art vark. That's pretty easy. He's

480
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: the best running back in football. It's one of the

481
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: worst run defenses in football. We don't need to even

482
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: expand on that. Carson Wentz has an outside chance of

483
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: playing Sunday after landing on the COVID list if he

484
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: does clear the protocols. But either way, I'm leaving the

485
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: Colts quarterback on the bench. If it's not Wentz, it's

486
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger. But the Raiders are great against the past

487
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: and porous against the run. Wentz is only top two

488
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: or twenty yard once in his last six games, and

489
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman is the only other guy we need to mention.

490
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: He gets a C grade. I considered downgrading him if

491
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Ellinger does start, but in that scenario, I think it's

492
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: a pass funnel to only Pittman uh and only three

493
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: wide receivers have hit the one yard mark on the

494
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: Raiders all year. They've allowed the third fewest touchdowns to

495
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: the position. If you have another option, play your other option.

496
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: But he's still seaworthy, um Scott, I'm guessing we can

497
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: get Jaguars Pats done in like two and a half

498
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: a minute. So let's try to squeak it into this

499
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: segment if you would. Yeah. So, the only startable grade

500
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I had for the entire Jags team was Daria Goombo

501
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Walle had a C grade on Dream Yes Starry to

502
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: dream the whole past game. The Pats are top four

503
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: against QBS wide receivers and tight ends. They are twelfth

504
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: easiest for running backs though, so I was starting grade

505
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: on on goomble l A. On the other side, I

506
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: have Mac Jones on the bench. We've talked at length

507
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: for the last few weeks about how the Jags d

508
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: has has held down opposing you know, quarterbacks and one

509
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: receivers and whatnot. In the last seven weeks, only Stafford

510
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: top two passing yards against the Jags. Uh. So I

511
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: have Jones on the bench. I don't think they're gonna

512
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: run a lot. Also, I think our passed a lot.

513
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: I think the game script will beat them ahead so

514
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: they won't have to pass. So I have Jones on

515
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: the bench. I have a C grade on Jacoby Myers.

516
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: With Nelson egil are out and Kendrick Born on COVID,

517
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: who else is gonna throw? By the way, Josh McDaniels saying,

518
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 1: this week we've we've dramatically underutilized John Smith, which I'm like, duh,

519
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: but it's another another week. It was another week, another

520
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: five to six catch game for Myers, another eight plus

521
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: targets from our ears and no scores because he you know,

522
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: just doesn't do that. But you're getting a four to

523
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: six catch guy with forty eight yards. That's a C

524
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: grade there for Myers. I have Henry on the bench

525
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: last week. Is why Henry is so tough to start.

526
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: If he does not score, which he's done a lot

527
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: of times, like seven eight times this year, when he

528
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: does not score, he completely tanks your team. I don't

529
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: want to start him in a championship week, especially against

530
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: the defense that has allowed one tight end touchdown since

531
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: Week five, and that was kittle Uh in the running game.

532
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: Harrison Stevenson. I have c grades on both. Stevenson's off COVID.

533
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna play. He might be a little run down,

534
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: he was fatigued at practice whatnot. We are seeing some

535
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: of that where you know, some guys snap right back

536
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: and others others are fatigued and and you know, yeah,

537
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: the quotes from what was It Brandon Cooks about how

538
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: tired he was on the field and Tyreek Hill, Um, yes, um.

539
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: I have a secret on both. Though Harris's questionable. He's

540
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna go, though we saw him play last week with

541
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: that injury. It's going to be a great grant, great

542
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: game script with them ahead, they'll run both runners. The

543
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: Jags are ten top ten against running backs, but I

544
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: see them both getting tent plus touches. So I have secrets,

545
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: all right, that makes sense to me. I think you

546
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: can probably use both guys when we come back. Chiefs

547
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: take on the Bengals. They, you know, to start the

548
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: obvious guys I'm fascinated by dar Old Williams will tell

549
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: you what to do about him and whether or not

550
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow will maintain the hot hand from last week

551
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: five yards and four touchdowns against a much tougher defense.

552
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Ob another double double, thousand yards and eight touchdowns coming

553
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: your way. We'll tell you what to expect from some

554
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: of the trickier plays out of this matchup when we

555
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

556
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Paul Charchy in with you. My co host today are

557
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. If you want to follow

558
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: us on Twitter, I am at Paul Charchy and Matt

559
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: Harrison is at Explosive Output. Scott Fish is at Scott

560
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Fish twenty four. Apparently there were twenty three others who

561
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: had already been at Scott Fish and man uh and

562
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: and Ken gurk Fish. That's really are you talking about? Ken?

563
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Scott Fish's uh Chiefs take on the Bengals. You know

564
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: what to do With Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, and Tyreek Hill.

565
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: They all returned to obvious a status probably anyway. Bengals

566
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: have given up big passing games to Jimmy Garoppolo and

567
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson in the past three weeks, and Homes just

568
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: put up a very good game without Kelsey and mostly

569
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: without Hill and now back. Although Hill says he's still

570
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: not totally over COVID yet, so a little bit of

571
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: caution there, but you're gonna start those guys, and I've

572
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: got a grades in all of them. Let's talk about

573
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: the trickier play, which I think is Darryl Williams. Clyde

574
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Edwards a layers out and in games he's missed, Darryl

575
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: Williams averaging nineteen touches total yards and half a score

576
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: per game. Pretty solid numbers. Bengals allowing the fifth fewest

577
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: rushing yards, but the fourth most receptions and the fifth

578
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to opposing backs. And Williams a capable receiver,

579
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: and he's the probable goal line back for any running

580
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: opportunities that may present themselves. So I've got a B

581
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: grade on Darryl Williams. Derek Gore is tricky because last

582
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: week he got a bunch of usage and a blowout win.

583
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't see a blowout wind coming and I don't

584
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: trust him to get anywhere near the same kind of usage.

585
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: So he will he be on the field. Yes, maybe

586
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: at a goal line situation because he has a bigger back,

587
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think you want to start Derek Gore

588
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: in a championship week, and we're not gonna I love

589
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: Byron Pringle. We're not going to chase his two touchdowns

590
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: from last week. I mean Byron Stacks Pringles. Oh yes, absolutely,

591
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: Stacks are better than Pringles. Stat is a great fact.

592
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: And the people, the people that are Pringles supporters have

593
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: never had Stacks. No, or they don't like crispinus who

594
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: doesn't like Crispy too? And I don't understand. See the

595
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: Stack is thicker and a little salty here. I like

596
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: it about it. Oh yeah, let's go to the Cincinnati

597
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: side hungry. Now, let's start with Joe Mix and just

598
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: get his bit out of the way here. He isn't

599
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: a grade. His eight two snapshare last week tells you

600
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: that he's finally back to full health. And I think

601
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: he came back to a big role in the passing

602
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: game as well, which I liked. He's got a positive

603
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: match up here against a Kansas City team that has

604
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: struggled against backs lately. Over their last four games, Kansas

605
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: City allowing one hundred seventy total yards per game to

606
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: the position, which would be second most if we applied

607
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: that over a full season. So I like Joe makes

608
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: it a lot in this game. A grade. Now, let's

609
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: go to Joe Burrow. Obviously the monster game last week

610
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: against an injury ravaged Ravens secondary, but he's gonna go

611
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: one d eighty degrees here against a much, much tougher defense.

612
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: As a reminder, prior to last week's explosion from Joe Burrow,

613
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: he had thrown zero or one touchdown in five of

614
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: the previous six games. Here comes Kansas City. They've allowed

615
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: the second fewest fantasy points per pass attempt over the

616
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: last six weeks, and since Week six, no posing quarterback

617
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: has managed the top two hundred seventy yards, and no

618
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: quarterback his top two touchdown since all the way back

619
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: in Week five. I'm the two touchdowns is your upside

620
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow in this game, and one touchdown might

621
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: be more likely and he's gotta be grade. Let's go

622
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: to Tee Higgins, my preferred receiver out of the group here.

623
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: He ranks second only to Cooper Cup in receiving yards

624
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: since Week twelve, and he's tied for second with four

625
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that span. He's gonna facere various word in

626
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes on the outside. They've allowed just one score

627
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: between them in the last three games. Most of the

628
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver damage that's being done to Kansas City is

629
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: coming in garbage time of thirty point blowouts, and that's

630
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: not likely to happen here. So I do have some trepidation.

631
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: But Tee Higgens so hot over the last month. I've

632
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: got him maintaining the A grade, so we're gonna keep

633
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: him at A. Joe Higgins, Yeah, No, I was thinking

634
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: we need a Handsel. Uh you know, Handsel so hot

635
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: right now? Button, I don't know what you're talking about.

636
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: Hand I didn't see zoo man. I can't help you

637
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: on that, all right. Uh. Paul rudds seems pretty cool though,

638
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: and he loves fantasy football, So no, it wasn't Paul

639
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: Rodd that was It was Ben Stiller. Yeah, maybe he

640
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: likes Maybe he plays in Paul Redd's league. That's possible.

641
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean you you assume they're friends because they Jamaar Chase, Uh,

642
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 1: Jamaar Car Chase. There you go, We'll go with it.

643
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: Uh is clearly the number two options in this offense,

644
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: and his box scers have been wildly inconsistent. Many of

645
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: the same defensive worries I've got for Higgins apply to

646
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Chase because Chase is also on the outside. You didn't

647
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: see the same guys here. Um, there's a good secondary.

648
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: It's giving up very little. So I've got to be

649
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: great on Chase just because of the upside that he brings.

650
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: But I really toyed for a long time with making

651
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: his see and I'm worried about Chase in this game.

652
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: Tyler boy is a C grade. He's now a clips

653
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: eighty five yards and or scored in three of the

654
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: past four games, which I like. He'll see Legarius Snead

655
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: out of the slot, and he's been good. He's given

656
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: up just one score in his last eight games. Your

657
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: glimmer of hope is that Snead has allowed a sev

658
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: catch rate in that stretch of the last eight games,

659
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: but not touchdown. So maybe Tyler Boyd will help you

660
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: out that way. Let's move on to our next matchup,

661
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: which is the Bucks taking on the Jets. Matt And

662
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: for this one, Ronald Jones coming off a big workload

663
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: last week and a juicy matchup this week. You're talking

664
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: about the gatekeeper. Yeah, he and the key Master might

665
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: take a chance on me, right, that's right, you went

666
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: one two on that. Jones gets a be Von gets

667
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: a c UH. Tom Brady, he gets a B grade.

668
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: It's so easy to run on the Jets that they

669
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: faced to the seventh fewest passing attempts this year, but

670
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: they've also allowed the seventh most passing yards this year. Brady,

671
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: by the way, has twenty one career multiple passing touchdown

672
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: games against the Jets in his career twenty one UH.

673
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown gets an A stepped right back into relevancy

674
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: last week with fifteen targets, ten catches a hundred and

675
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: one yards against Carolina. Marvin Jones and DeVante Parker have

676
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: both had good Fantasy days against the Jets in the

677
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Both were target hogs for their respective teams,

678
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: which I think Brown would be again this week. So

679
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling that Brown's gonna Brown's gonna really take it

680
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: to him because Mike Evans, I don't think he's gonna

681
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: go um almost. He did clear COVID protocols, still dealing

682
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, was only a limited participant in

683
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, and Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay

684
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: Times reported that he looked fatigued catching passes from practice.

685
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: God quarterback Ryan Griffin if Evans is active, but you

686
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: have other options, I'd play them over Evans, but I'll

687
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: give him a C grade, but it's the lowest CE

688
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: I can give. Though about that. Rob Gronkowski, I want

689
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: to leave him on the bench, but I'm gonna give

690
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: him a C grade. The Bucks have removed Gronk from

691
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: the game plan once the game is out of reach

692
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, taking hits and mileage

693
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: off his body, kind of saving him for the playoff run.

694
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: And last week's blowout win in Carolina, Gronk was only

695
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: targeted twice, but he was still on the field for

696
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: the snap, so they're just kind of have him run

697
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: out into the pasture and not get hurt. I see

698
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: him suiting up, I see him playing. The Jets are

699
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: bottom twelve and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the

700
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: tight end, so I will give him a SE grade.

701
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson on the other side, several members of the

702
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Bucks secondary looked like they're gonna miss this game, Sean Murphy, Bunting,

703
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, Jamal Dean, and Antoine Winfield. But he's starting

704
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson in their championship game. He's had a stretch

705
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: of four decent games in the last five weeks, including

706
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: four rushing touchdowns in there, But no, keep him on

707
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: the bench and you're benching Jamison Crowder and Braxton Barrios

708
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: in a championship to also Michael Carter. He's on the bench,

709
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: his snapcounts and touch totals are back up. But tam

710
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: defense is just too tough against the run. They allow

711
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: an average of fifty two rushing yards and one third

712
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: of a rushing score per game. That's just not enough

713
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: for Michael Carter here. All right, let's get in the

714
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: door our final matchup of this segment, Broncos taking on

715
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Scott. It's a backup quarterback throwing to his

716
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: number four or five and six wide receivers in this game,

717
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: so I assume the Broncos are gonna be looking really

718
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: just to run the ball. It's also a backup quarterback

719
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: that only had a hundred and fifty three scoreless yards

720
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, the whole passing games on the bench.

721
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: I have SEA grades on both Williams and Gordon. I

722
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: actually had a B grade on Williams before all these

723
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver COVID issues. Now I just don't think they'll

724
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball very well. So the

725
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: opportunities at the stripe. Why do I keep using stripe

726
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: for goal? You're very stripe heavy, tod. We're using a

727
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: lot of nicknames and a lot of the stripe talk. Um,

728
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to use stripe as a nickname. Wants. By

729
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: the way, I don't want you to get through this

730
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: to go well, Jamal stripe, Williams everybody's strip. Last week

731
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: they both both both of these runners kind of killed you,

732
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: but Williams at least saved you with a little bit

733
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: of a touchdown there. Uh. That was one of the

734
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: only games where they didn't both give you flexworthy numbers.

735
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: I think they get back to it this week because

736
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: this is this is the only part of their offense

737
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be able to function very well. Um.

738
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: I I do have C grades on both because they

739
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: went back last week to splitting everything right down the middle. Snaps, touches,

740
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: basically everything. Uh. The Chargers have allowed the second most

741
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns of running backs on their way to be in

742
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: the fifth easiest matchup against the position. But again, I

743
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: don't think they'll move the ball very well. So C

744
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: grades on them. On the other side, I only have

745
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: a B grade on Justin Herbert three hundred plus yards

746
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: and or multiple scores in all but two games. Uh.

747
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: He hit both those marks last time against Denver. But

748
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: Denver on defense lately have held four straight quarterbacks to

749
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: varying levels of under two yards and they only had

750
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: three touchdowns between those four quarterbacks. Is a better defense.

751
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: And I also think they'll get ahead and not need

752
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: to pass quite as much. So with Keenan Allen also

753
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: a B grade on that because they don't think they'll

754
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: need to pass that much and Broncos sit top ten

755
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: against wide receivers on the season. Is gonna miss it.

756
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: Alan had seven for eighty five last time. I can

757
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: see him running into an A grade, but I think

758
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: he's safer placed as a B grade guy. They've allowed

759
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: seventy plus to five different guys who run from the slot.

760
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that's about where Allan probably ends up. Uh.

761
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Let's go with Williams. C grade on Williams,

762
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: but I don't blame me for want him to bench

763
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: him in your championship game because he had a really

764
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: bad middle of the season. But over the less five weeks.

765
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: He had three good fantasy days. His bad ones are

766
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: like four for thirty nine three forty nine in PPR.

767
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: That's like eight points. But that's not Yeah, but that

768
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: was two of them. The other three were really good days.

769
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: So I have a C grade on him, but it

770
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: is risky. I wouldn't blame me for bention him. Austin Ekeler,

771
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: I have an A grade back on He seems healthy.

772
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: He's done interviews where he looks completely healthy. He's gonna

773
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: get the interview, well, I hope. So he's the one

774
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: that told everyone to start Justin Jackson last week. I

775
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: am I kind of no, No, he has he has

776
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: a Yahoo Fantasy Football show. Yeah no, but I think

777
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: it's funny to say that, right. He looks healthy in

778
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: the interview. Yeah, I meant he's uh yeah. The ankles

779
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: still he got. He got an extra week to heal

780
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: up that ankle while he was out with COVID as well,

781
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: So that's gonna help. Um, you're not gonna bench you,

782
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: guys number two of his position either. Bradley Chubb also

783
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: out for Denver in the middle of that core there

784
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: so decent spot that counts for something. Let's let's stay

785
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: with those guys in our final moments that we've got in.

786
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: We've got maybe two more minutes, and in this segment, uh,

787
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams draft position with and without Melvin Gordon on

788
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: the team next year. I like the phrase it that

789
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: way because I think there's a decent chance they pull him,

790
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: they keep him, they keep him. I think there's a

791
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: gens they keep them too. Which first, how much they

792
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: try to spend on a quarterback in the field, which

793
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: is a big issue, right, you know, if they have

794
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: to spend on a quarterback, they just spend a ton

795
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: of money on all three of the receivers. So give

796
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: me the draft position for Javonte Williams. If Melvin Gordon's gone,

797
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: I think he's the middle of the first round, late

798
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: first round kind of guy you stop five. I think

799
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: he's number two, all right. If if Melvin Gordon is back,

800
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: then where does Javonte Williams go? Probably slips into the

801
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: second for me. I think I think someone on the

802
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: back corner is gonna take him in the second around

803
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: that corner just because they because they don't believe Melvin

804
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: Gordon exists. It's the same thing as Kyle Pits this

805
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: last year. There's someone in near league that's going to

806
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: be super hyped on Javonte Williams and hope for you know,

807
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: Gordon to crash. But you know that's awfully early. I mean,

808
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: do you take you're in the second round. You should

809
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: be taking a sure thing player, right, should be a

810
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: sure thing. Do your own. You're gambling that Melvin Gordon

811
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: gets hurt early in the season and stays hurt. If

812
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: you're taking Javonte Williams in the second round, if they

813
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: don't address the quarterback position, I don't think I want

814
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: anything to do with that Broncos offense. Either. They need

815
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: they need to upgrade their else Javonte Williams is going

816
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: to be stuck. Don't let don't let our Minnesota listeners here.

817
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: You're talking about Tenny Bridgewater that way. I wasn't talking

818
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: about talking about all of them. Okay, all right, Uh,

819
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: that's it's this. It's a trick you want to follow,

820
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one that's gonna be very interesting

821
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: to see. My hope is that Melvin Gordon costs too

822
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: much for the Broncos and then he finds himself on

823
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: some other team. That's got a little more money. He

824
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: won't be super expensive, but it'll probably be like, you know,

825
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: four or five million dollars, and that might be more

826
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: than the Broncos have an appetite. Four could be Maybe

827
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon doesn't want to share backfield either. There were

828
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: reports of that when when Philip Lindsay was there that

829
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: he didn't love sharing the backfield with the fan favorite

830
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: that was from that stage, that which would makes sense

831
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: the favorite again. Tons of of new news coming out

Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like we care, but actually we really

849
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: do care. This is a segment we like to call

850
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: three tough Questions. Tough Question Number one, what is the

851
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,959
Speaker 1: one offseason rule change that every league should consider? Matt,

852
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding about this. I had two really weird

853
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: dreams last night. The first one, I was at a

854
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: butcher shop someone handed my son a suitcase full of

855
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. But in the second one, I was

856
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: dreaming about this tough question, and I'm not kidding. My

857
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: answer in this was, the top five teams make the

858
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: playoffs in your league, then the remaining six seed those

859
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: teams all the teams in your league who are not

860
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They get together and they play a

861
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: game of Texas Hold Him Poker, and you get as

862
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: many chips as the amount of points you scored for

863
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: the season. Now, that sounds fun, but don't think many

864
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: leagues could handle that. So I will say, if you

865
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: don't do any of the one following thing. Make one

866
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: of these changes, add a super flex two single quarterback leagues,

867
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: do an auction instead of a draft, unlimited I R spots,

868
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: or use free agent blind bidding next year. Okay, Um,

869
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: that was four or five answers, and well I stayed

870
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: away from those because I feel like the free agent bidding,

871
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: the don't do your championship the last week or just

872
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: way too But I think that we in our leagues

873
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: have all gone to that way and it's way too

874
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: obvious for us. But I think the bulk of our

875
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: listeners probably aren't playing with all of those. By the way,

876
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: the auction thing, uh still with you. I was talking

877
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: on I was talking on the Fantasy Prose podcast last

878
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: week that people want fab blind bidding, they want they

879
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: love auctions over snakes. Yet so many people do their

880
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: rookie drafts as snake drafts. That auctions grow a pair,

881
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: grow up like it, become a big boy. Do your

882
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: rookie draft is a rookie auction. I love it. Give everybody,

883
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: give everybody a chance to swing and missing Trevor loris

884
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: just like the worst team gets the most money. Still

885
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: they got over twice Tony, but at least they can

886
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: take shots at multiple guys if they want to, if

887
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: they What is the answer to the que anyone? Here?

888
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: Here's where, Here's where I went. It's I went simple.

889
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: Just add more flexes and reduce your required positions just

890
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: a tad, not too much because you you don't want

891
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: to inhibit trading, but just a little bit to make

892
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: more flexibility for roster construction in dealing with injuries and illnesses.

893
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: More flexes, pull back the roster requirements a little bit. Um.

894
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: You guys hit on several of my favorite mandatory rules,

895
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: but I'm going to touch on one. You guys did

896
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: not say no trade vetos. You've got trade veto in

897
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: your league. Get rid of that albatross right now. That

898
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: is incredibly unfair and other teams have no business voting

899
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: whether or not sending team owners should make a deal.

900
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: Get rid of that. People always say inclusion. I'm like,

901
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: that's a different issue. Deal with colusion. The commissioner deals

902
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: with the inclusion. Lusian right. If you have collusion, that's

903
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: not even a trade veto situation. There's nothing to do

904
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: with trade. Don't even bring that up. Tough question Number

905
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: two give me the order of the first, that the

906
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: first four tight ends should be drafted in next year.

907
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: Give me the order of the first, will well you want,

908
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: I did give you will I want. I want to

909
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: know what you should do. I was gonna say those

910
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: are two very what you should do, Okay, So will

911
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: do I put Kelsey Andrew's Kittle Pits because I think

912
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: that's how it's gonna go down. What they should do, however,

913
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: is Andrew's Kelsey Kittle pits. Al Right, so you're flipping him,

914
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: you're if you're going Andrew's Kelsey Kittle. I like, I

915
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: like Andrews a little more going for it. I think

916
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: you could you could talk me into switching Pits and

917
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: Kittle too, just like I think we saw Pits to

918
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: talk into anything, right, Yeah, this year? So pits one

919
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: four this year. No, I'm saying, I think we've seen

920
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: just about his floor. Um Hockinson and Waller that just

921
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: they burned to make people to make concerns, and Knox

922
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: and Firemouth. I love him, but that's getting a little

923
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: too cute. Man. Give me the order that the first

924
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: four tight ends should be drafted in next year. Uh, well,

925
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: I got Kelsey first. And because I can hear charge

926
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: saying next summer, do you know who has ever regretted

927
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: taking Travis Kelsey? No? Yeah, ever Kelsey and Andrews? UM

928
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: number two for will I had Andrews, But should I

929
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: think it's kittle because on a per game basis, I

930
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: think he's the scariest tight end in the league. And

931
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: if you catch him on the year that he stays

932
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: healthy and puts it all together, then you've got Demo Samuel,

933
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: got Divo Samuel if he stays healthy. Number three who

934
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: should be taken? Third is Mark Andrews because fantasy ball

935
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: is filled with sheep and we just follow the last

936
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: year's stats. Currently make Mark Andrews is the number one

937
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: tight end, but it's all on those touchdowns and they

938
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: can be a little flukey. And then number four because

939
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: we all are going to say that there's positive regression

940
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: coming on that one touchdown he scored this year and

941
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: the fact that he's the top eight tight end and

942
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: basically every scoring format with just that one score. Um,

943
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: I've still got Travis Kelsey number one. And I understand

944
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: the thinking about getting out a year too early than

945
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: a year too late. You know, I was thinking about

946
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: this when I wrote your quote, your quote that you

947
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: always say who is regretted ever taking Travis Kelsey, no

948
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: one that always happens the year that we should get

949
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: out that guy. I swear to God it. The reason

950
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: I'm sticking out one more year is because Patrick Mahomes. Yeah,

951
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: and none of the rest of these guys have got

952
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are anywhere even in this ballpark. And let's

953
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: be flat out honest, we have eyeballs. Were watched him

954
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: play like Kelsey, that hunter and for nine our game,

955
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: the game when he looked like he looks fine, you

956
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: look fine. Mark Andrews is second eat no matter who

957
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. And I think there's a way better

958
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: chance than other people do that it's not Lamar Jackson.

959
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: Then George Kittle when healthy, used the league's best tight end,

960
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: and then Kyle Pitts third and targets six and receptions

961
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: third in yards. Touchdowns will come in time. So yeah, honestly,

962
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: your question confused me because I don't see an avenue

963
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: for anyone but those four should have gone five deep. Yeah,

964
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: then I think I probably would have put Waller in next.

965
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: I probably would have put Hackinson, But I have no

966
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: problem with Waller, I would have gone Waller tough. Question

967
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: number three. Next year's draft, it's the fourth round and

968
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: you need a wide receiver, and here's DK Metcalf available.

969
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: Are you drafting him? Matt? We begin with you. Well,

970
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: it's Russell Wilson's worst season to date, and Metcalf still

971
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: ranks fourteenth and standard leagues and twenty one PPR leagues

972
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: amongst wide receivers. And if you're drafting properly or probably

973
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: drafting some safe guys in the first two to three rounds,

974
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: and then you start swinging for some upside in round

975
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: four and beyond, and Metcalf really has that wide receiver

976
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: one overall upside. If if he has someone throwing him

977
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: the ball, maybe Wilson's gone next year and there's a

978
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: new quarterback in town. Maybe Wilson's hand injury was actually

979
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: the thing that tanked the season, and he's back to

980
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: full health yet next year. So yes, I will take

981
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: him in the fourth Scott, are you taking It's the

982
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: fourth round, you need a wide receiver. DK metcalfs there,

983
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: you're taking him. I think this is interesting because the

984
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: way I see it, I think Metcalf's here has been

985
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 1: so disappointing. I wouldn't be fault. I wouldn't be surprised

986
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: if he slips further than the fourth round next year.

987
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: Last last year, in the fourth round, we saw guys

988
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: like Higgins and or not Higgins, but like, uh ceedee

989
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: Lamb and stuff. We're going in the flour the Robert

990
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: what like. Really productive players were going in and some people,

991
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: based on people have told me on Twitter, not in

992
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: my league, but yeah, yeah, I got him in the

993
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: third most leagues, but he was going in the fourth.

994
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: In a lot of leagues, super productive guys are going

995
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. I think DK slips further. I

996
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know that I love him because I think this

997
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: year it's gonna be guys like Higgins and Waddle and

998
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: stuff like that they go on the fourth and I

999
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: probably rather have them. I'd rather have DK in like

1000
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: the fifth or even Godwin with his injury, is gonna

1001
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: slip to the fourth or fifth round? Could be saying

1002
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: probably not um. The answer. The correct answer is hell no.

1003
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: I want consistent production above all else, and this is

1004
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: the opposite of what he's given us to his entire

1005
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: current Yes, Chris Godwin is consistent production. That's what I want,

1006
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: and I don't want a guy who's gonna disappear for

1007
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: long stretches of seasons. This year, he has scored one

1008
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: time in the previous seven games. He hasn't topped sixty

1009
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: yards since weeks seven. Last year, Dk Metcalf had almost

1010
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: the exact same scoring drought, with one touchdown in six games.

1011
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: We have no idea whose quarterback is gonna be. That's

1012
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be Russell Wilson. I don't think then it

1013
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: probably anybody better than Russell Wilson. This is there. I

1014
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: think they're much more likely to melt down this roster

1015
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: than they are to try to find a quarterback improvement

1016
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson. So that's going backwards as well. And

1017
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: at some point, it just doesn't matter how good your

1018
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver Lurked looks with his shirt off. That's just

1019
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: not relevant. No, is the correct answer. I traded DK

1020
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: Mack for Javonte Williams this year in the league. Jeez,

1021
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird when Aaron Rodgers is a Seahawk

1022
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: Eagles Sagan the Washington football team. Let's this will not

1023
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: take very long. Let's start with Let's start and as

1024
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: a reminder the duel take a chance on me of

1025
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: Boston Scott and Jordan Howard from Scott Fish earlier in

1026
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: this show Striper Stryper and Boston Market. That's right. They

1027
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: both have C grades for me in this game. If

1028
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: Howard doesn't go elevate, Boston's got to a B grade

1029
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: in this game. I think I'm running back if both

1030
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: of them. If Howard doesn't go, oh, you have Scott

1031
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: up to twenty f Okay, that makes sense. Let's go

1032
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: to the passing game Jalen Hurts. In the three games

1033
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: prior to last week, Washington had allowed to be very

1034
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: modest per game average of two hundred fifty two passing

1035
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: yards and half a passing touchdown. That's it. So they've

1036
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: been playing well prior to last week when they obviously

1037
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: got totally blown up, but they were also decimated by COVID.

1038
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: That includes a two yard, one touchdown passing game for

1039
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in Week fifteen, just two weeks ago. He

1040
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: ran for two touchdowns in that game. But now he's

1041
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: got the bulky ankle, and last week he only had

1042
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: two rushes. So I don't know what if if Janale

1043
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: Hurts is not gonna run for much of anything, and

1044
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: I just have to rely on his arm. That is

1045
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: a super sketchy proposition now is his ankle should be

1046
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: better one week later, so I think I'll have some

1047
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: of the mobility back. So I'm putting him into the

1048
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: B range here, which is a little nebulous B him

1049
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: giving him a B. The rages there is, there's a

1050
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: giant range. It's B from Jalen Burns. Dallas Goddard is

1051
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: my preferred target of his. He destroyed Washington two weeks ago,

1052
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: um and although again they had a lot of COVID

1053
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: at the time, but even so, Washington has yielded big

1054
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: games to quality tight ends all year, including Dalton Sheltz

1055
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: last week when bananas on him. Then DeVante Smith is

1056
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: the only other receiver I think you want to consider here.

1057
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: Over the last five games, again, COVID is marred some

1058
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: of that. The football teams allowed the second most yards

1059
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: to wide receivers one nine per game, and they've given

1060
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: up five touchdowns to the position over those five games.

1061
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: During that same span, they have allowed four receivers at

1062
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: top of eighty two yards or more. If it's gonna

1063
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: be any wide receiver to top eighty two yards. Smith

1064
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: is the only candidate for the Eagles. He comes in

1065
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: with a C grade um on the Washington side. Antonio

1066
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 1: Gibson's out. We're not starting any part of this pass

1067
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: of the passing game, including h Taylor, Heineke and Kyle

1068
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: Allen as well, and regardless of who goes here, and

1069
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: it might be a split quarterback scenario according to Ron Rivera, Okay,

1070
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: that's never good. Can take Ron Rivera out of Carolina,

1071
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: but you can't take Carolina Rivera. It's a great point there.

1072
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: Guys are on the bench, and so is Terry McLaurin.

1073
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: In his last for Terry, in his last eight games,

1074
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: eight games, it's half a season. He's top sixty yards. Once.

1075
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: I disagree with you on this. I think you dropped

1076
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: Terry McLaren sabotage the only one receivers posted more than

1077
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: sixty five yards against the Eagles in the last six games.

1078
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: And in honor of the holidays, Terry McLaren is gonna

1079
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: give the sleigh ride this week. Yeah, it's the sleigh ride.

1080
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: A brutal one on one matchup with Darius Slay. Pro

1081
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,479
Speaker 1: Football Focus is third ranked quarterback I love it. Let's

1082
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: sabotage drop Terry McLaurin. Then the last guy to talk

1083
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: about is Jared Patterson. You're starting running back for Washington

1084
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: um He is expected to start with Antonio Gibson sidelined

1085
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: with COVID missing Eric Flowers from the offensive line, that's

1086
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: almost additioned by subtraction. Patterson has looked decent in spot

1087
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: duty throughout the year. He did score a touchdown against

1088
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: these same Eagles two weeks ago. Washington's offensive line is

1089
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: returning from COVID, which is good, and they are actually

1090
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: one of the best, one of the best run blocking

1091
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: offensive lines in football when healthy. Unfortunately, the EGL Eagles

1092
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: run defense is equally terrific, allowing the third fewest rushing

1093
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: yards over the last three weeks, just fifty five rushing

1094
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: yards per game and three point one yards per carry.

1095
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: That's it. J D. Mckissicks is sidelined on injured reserves,

1096
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: so you might be tempted to think that Jared Patterson

1097
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: will catch some passes, but he never catches any passes

1098
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: and they will use when Dell Smallwood in that role instead.

1099
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: So just the C grade on Jared Patterson, which should

1100
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: be decent volume, but in a tough matchup. Um, I

1101
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: think we're gonna hold off on the next matchup. I

1102
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 1: was tempted to try to squeak it in, but let's

1103
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: just we want to talk dolphins. Oh and a little

1104
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: bit later. We gotta let that marinate. You really do,

1105
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: because you're trying to figure out which dolphin running back

1106
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: is gonna get is gonna get the work in any

1107
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: given week does take a lot of temple rubbing. And

1108
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: I want to give you this, this entire break to

1109
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: rub temples. It's going to be not mine, your own,

1110
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: by the way, super people. Yeah, we look, you have

1111
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: two temples on your head. You can use plural temples,

1112
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: and your three of us could not rubbing temples. Then

1113
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: we'll be back for more of this insanity in moments.

1114
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:52,959
Speaker 1: It's definitely our last show. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,

1115
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi in Matt Harrison and Scott Fish with you.

1116
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: There is copious amounts of temple rubbing happening in this

1117
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: studio right now as Matt Harrison tries to help you

1118
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: figure out which dolphin is going to be the one

1119
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: that you want to start this week, if any against

1120
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the Titans. What do you think, uh to Uh he

1121
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: can start him? I guess, I mean I'm giving him

1122
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: a C grade. Uh. He's not the biggest producer via

1123
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: the air, but going through the air is the way

1124
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: to beat the Titans. Jimmy g was able to notch three,

1125
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: two and one last week. Mac Jones had three ten

1126
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: and two a couple of weeks ago. Even Trevor Simeon

1127
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: was able to muster and two. The list goes on.

1128
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Mediocre quarterbacks have been able to cobble some good stats.

1129
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: So a C for two uh startable and super flex

1130
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: or two quarterback leaks. Jalen Waddle is an A and

1131
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker I mean Davante Carnival Parker was might take

1132
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: a chance on me, and he's seaworthy. Wattle has had

1133
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: eight or more catches in four of his last five games,

1134
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: and Wattle has topped ninety yards in three straight games.

1135
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: While All spends about two thirds of his time in

1136
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the slot, where he'll square off against Elijah Molden. Molden

1137
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: has a passer rating of one oh eight in his

1138
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: coverage this year. Advantage Waddle Mike GASSICKI I have him

1139
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: squarely on the bench hasn't scored since week seven, hasn't

1140
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: topped fifty five yards since week seven, and the Titans

1141
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: are somewhat good ish against the tight end position, allowing

1142
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: an average of four catches and thirty five yards to

1143
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the position. And then Duke Johnson is now splitting carries

1144
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: evenly with Miles Gascons. Both are on the bench. You

1145
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: just you see, you're copping out of this whole running

1146
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: back situation. I'm saying, just benjam all Well, Tennessee is

1147
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: also a really good run defense. So if it was

1148
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: one of them, you could maybe trust them with a CE.

1149
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: But since it's both of them, they're both on the bench.

1150
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: All right. How about the Titans side? A J. Brown

1151
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: gets an A. If you were ballsy enough to start

1152
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: him last Thursday, you're probably still alive in your fantasy championships.

1153
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Sixteen targets, eleven catches and a score. Julio and Nick

1154
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Westbrook Keen are on the COVID list currently. I think

1155
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Nick came off. Now, okay, that's good. I mean it's

1156
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: still pass funnel to A. J. Brown here. Dolphins are

1157
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: bottom ten and receptions and yards allowed to the wide

1158
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: receiver position. De Aonta foreman, Jeremy McNichols, and Dontrell Hilliard

1159
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: are basically in a three way hot hand time share,

1160
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: and they're all on the bench because the Dolphins are

1161
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: great against the run. No running back has topped seventy

1162
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: three yards on the ground against Miami since Week four,

1163
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: and they haven't allowed a running back touchdown through land,

1164
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: sea or air since Week six. Al Right, it's been

1165
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot, and the Dolphins would be very good at

1166
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: sea defense, by the way, because but you would think,

1167
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: you would think, so, how do we not? I got

1168
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: every other animal on. Come. I don't have a dolphin

1169
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: sound in here because I don't need one. I've got

1170
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: you excellent Matt Dolphins. Uh. And Ryan Tannehill can't be

1171
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: trusted and can't be started. He's topped two yards once

1172
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: in his last seven games. Just nothing, by the way,

1173
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I was starting to talk dolphin there for a little bit. Uh.

1174
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: In those seven games, he's thrown five touchdown passes total. Yeah,

1175
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: you're only in it for the rushing touchdown that you

1176
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: might get, which is so weird. Yes, No, you don't

1177
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: want to start him, all right, So you're done right?

1178
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Texas taking the forty nine

1179
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Scott Rex Burke head breakout game last week. A lot

1180
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: of work. Finally, Yeah, and so we you know, we've

1181
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: actually got a text in running back to talk about

1182
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: he reaped this week against the forty you're talking about

1183
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: text Rex, I will say text I like it. Brandon

1184
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Cooks was out for that one, so that that may

1185
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: have helped a little bit. Uh. Yes, he did explode

1186
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: last week, but he's really owned the backfield for three

1187
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: straight weeks right now. However, the four Niners d over

1188
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: the last seven weeks have allowed only one back over

1189
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 1: sixty yards and that was due to a sixty seven

1190
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: yard fake punt right. Otherwise none of them have done it.

1191
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: And there's some good running backs in that span. James Robinson,

1192
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: um mix in, Dalvin Cook, Corderyll No. Uh, but he's

1193
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a C grade here on sheer volume. But

1194
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: don't expect high level flex numbers. He's flex worthy because yes,

1195
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, I got a C grade on He's looked

1196
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. He's no, he's looked very good. If the

1197
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: half reheld today, Davis Mills would be in the same cluster.

1198
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: In the first half of the first round as these

1199
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: other guys were probably right now. Asked the Jets would

1200
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: they rather Zack Wilson or Davis Mills asked the Jaguars

1201
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: would they rather have They have to think about right,

1202
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: at least think about it right. I mean, it's it's

1203
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: not obvious answers to that. And and he's he's fighting

1204
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: for a job for next year. He wants he wants

1205
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: to take take hold of this job for next year.

1206
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: So over the last five games, he's had three hundred

1207
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: plus yards and or multiple scores in four of them,

1208
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: which is pretty damn Goods have allowed multiple scores in

1209
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: three the last five, but they're not allowing a ton

1210
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: of passing yards. I think you can expect about forty

1211
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: day and a couple of scores. The game script should

1212
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: also be good here for Miles, they'll probably be behind.

1213
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I have c grade on Miles. Thought about making my

1214
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: take a chance on me player. I don't like him

1215
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: this week. Brandon Cooks was out last week with COVID,

1216
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: but before that he had seven plus catches in a

1217
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards and back to back the top targeted

1218
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: receiver against the forty nine has scored seven touchdowns in

1219
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the last five games, um, and I expect Brandon Cooks

1220
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: to be a ten plus target guy. Yet again, all

1221
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: of those guys against the foreigners had five plus catches

1222
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: and sixty plus yards. I have a B grade on Cooks.

1223
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: You could talk me into an A. On the other side,

1224
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, was you gonna take a chance on me? Player?

1225
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I also really like him this week. I would have

1226
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I would have had a B plus grade on him

1227
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: if there were uh Deebo Samuels. I think he's an

1228
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: obvious A grade. He either gets it done through the

1229
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: air or the rushing. He has sixteen targets in the

1230
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: last two weeks that has come back. We were worried

1231
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: about that for a little while charge his targets had disappeared.

1232
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: They're back. So A grade on Debot, A grade on Kiddle,

1233
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: which is just too obvious, like he'll be the best

1234
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: tight end to face Houston, and even without that Gaseki

1235
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: knox Er, it's all had top five, like top five

1236
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: tight end weeks against the Houston Texans. Kittle in line

1237
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: for that there too. Brandon Auk I have a C

1238
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: grade on but I really kind of want to bench him.

1239
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: The second receiver has been about fifty yards each week

1240
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: against the Texans since Week eight, So I expect maybe

1241
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: that's where you is gonna land. But I'm not super

1242
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: comfortable of it. You know what, I'm actually I'm gonna

1243
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: throw him on the bench. I I just yeah, he's

1244
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: averaging about four for fifty. He's probably gonna land in that.

1245
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I can see either way. In the running game, this

1246
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: one's super easy for me. This week. Eli Mitchell is questionable.

1247
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: They think he's gonna go. If he goes, I have

1248
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: a B grade on him because it's an awesome matchup

1249
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: a bottom defense. But here are some of the concerns.

1250
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Talk that he's been limited in practice. Talks this week

1251
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: are about I'm splitting with Wilson and Trey Lance keeps

1252
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: stealing goal line touchdowns earlier in the season. I can

1253
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: see him doing it this week too. I'm a little

1254
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: worried for Mitchell not scoring on that front. However, let

1255
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: me jump in for a second. It seems like every

1256
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: time Elijah Mitchell's active, he's the workhorse back exactly. And

1257
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, there isn't a there has not been a

1258
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: split carry backfield really in this offense all year. That's

1259
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. On the flip side, he

1260
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: was injured and played a few weeks ago and got

1261
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries when he came into the game injured,

1262
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: So you're upside is a high A grade. But I'm

1263
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: going to give him a BE just on the concerns.

1264
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: But I think there's a good chance you get more

1265
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: than that. If he does go. He's inside my top

1266
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: ten this wee. I've I have Wilson with a C grade.

1267
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: If he goes, I think he's gonna get just enough work.

1268
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm a little hesitant. It's a really shaky sea if

1269
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell doesn't go. I have a B grade on Wilson

1270
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: because the matchup is just too good. Rams take on

1271
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and this is the same Ravens team that

1272
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: just gave up five hundred twenty five passing yards and

1273
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: four touchdowns or is five touchdowns at one point, but

1274
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: he got one of the touchdowns got called back. So

1275
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: that makes Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup obvious a's. But

1276
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna mention this about Cup to make it

1277
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: even better. The Ravens just got destroyed by slot receiver

1278
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, and here comes Cooper Cup. Who I think

1279
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: should be the league m v P this year. I mean,

1280
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: I think with Brian not here, you can give the

1281
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: last Fantasy Fonzie of the year to Let's do it.

1282
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely love him. Hell of a season by Cooper Cup.

1283
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Where was this? And credit to you, Matt for this preseason.

1284
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 1: You love Cooper Cup and we all we all liked him, Matt.

1285
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: I think it was most vocal about it the last year.

1286
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I loved him. Last year was talking to them all up,

1287
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: but it was Jared Goff and then he got dinged

1288
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: up for Monch of the Year, so it didn't come

1289
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: together last year like I did this year. Anyway. Staying

1290
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: with the passing game, Van Jefferson Noo Beckam were both bees.

1291
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Neither has put up really consistent yardage, but they're helping

1292
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: with touchdowns, and I think they can get both yardage

1293
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and touchdowns in this game because the Ravens secondaries in

1294
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: such bad shape. They are allowing the fourth most yards

1295
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: the third most touchdowns to whiteouts and there without Marlon Humphrey,

1296
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters and very possibly Anthony ever aver It also

1297
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: out for this game, so we like him to putting

1298
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee on the bench he's getting very little use

1299
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 1: in The Ravens have largely reversed in early season struggles

1300
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: against tight ends. Only two have scored since Week seven.

1301
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: And then that brings us to Sony Michelle. Now at

1302
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: full health. The Ravens are very tough run defense. Only

1303
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is top seventy one yards against Baltimore, and

1304
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 1: prior to COVID falling on the Ravens, they had gone

1305
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: six straight games without allowing a running back to score. Fortunately,

1306
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle's volume makes him a startable player anyway. Over

1307
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 1: the past four weeks, he's average twenty three carries and

1308
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: one hundred six yards and half a touchdown per game.

1309
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Twenty three carries will be more carries and any back

1310
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: has had against the Ravens all year, So I don't

1311
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get that much. But just through sheer volume,

1312
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: he is startable and I've got a C grade on

1313
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle. Let's go over to Baltimore and we will

1314
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: begin with the desolate running back position. DeVonta Freeman's on

1315
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the bench in Your Your Championship week, diminishing snap counts

1316
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 1: in four straight games, just six rushes last week, although

1317
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: it was a blowout rams. Allowing the six fewest rushing

1318
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: yards and the second lowest yards per carry to opposing backs.

1319
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Do not start DeVonta Freeman. And this one, let's go

1320
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: to the passing game. Doesn't look like Lamar Jackson is

1321
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: going to be able to go, and even if he does,

1322
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: his mobility would be seriously affected by the foot injuries,

1323
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: So then you're relying just on his arm. And remember,

1324
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has thrown exactly one touchdown in nine of

1325
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: twelve games this year. So that brings us to Tyler Huntley,

1326
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: who look good honestly to the point that I think

1327
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: that resigning Lamar Jackson this next offseason is not a

1328
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: given for this team. I think I think Huntley has

1329
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: at least raised the question of whether or not you're

1330
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: putting you're better off organizationally of giving Huntley low end

1331
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: starting money versus giving Lamar Jackson top three quarterback, which

1332
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: is probably what he would demand. Back Huntley in this game,

1333
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: um l A has allowed just one passing touchdown in

1334
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: their last four games, which is not good. And it's

1335
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: not like the quarterbacks they faced during that stretcher Chopp Liver.

1336
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins. That said,

1337
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: the only true rushing quarterback the Rams have seen all

1338
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: year was Murray, and he ran. He ran average fifty

1339
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: rushing yards across the two games in which they played,

1340
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: and that could mode well for Huntly a year two.

1341
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to envision a ground air combo that

1342
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: gets Huntley into like top ten quarterback territory. So I've

1343
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: got a B grade on him. Mark Andrews, We're gonna

1344
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: keep the A grade on because Huntley, Uh, what is

1345
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: that you like to use this word funnel? Today he's

1346
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: funneling to Mark Andrews. So we'll we'll, we'll keep the

1347
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: funnel alive with an A grade there, Mark Keiths Brown

1348
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: slumps all the way down to a C grade. He's

1349
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 1: now average fifty six scoreless yards in his last seven games,

1350
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: a brutal fall from grace for a guy who was

1351
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: scorching hot in the first half of the season. He'll

1352
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: face a Ram secondary that surrendered eight scores two receivers

1353
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: all season, that is second fewest in the league, and

1354
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 1: of course, Jalen Ramsey likely going to be on Marquees

1355
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: Brown for much of this game. Illness. Yeah, Brown has not, Yeah,

1356
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 1: so it could be another X factor here. So I've

1357
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: just got the C grade on Brown, but it's probably

1358
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 1: closer to a bench grade. But we'll give him a

1359
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: SEA because we work in full letters around here. Our

1360
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: final matchup of the segment Cardinals taking on the Cowboys.

1361
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 1: Matt Yeah, let's start with Kyler Murray, who peaked in October,

1362
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: but I'm still giving him a B grade here. The

1363
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys have allowed the ninth most passing yards per game

1364
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: at two eight, and mobile quarterback quarterbacks have had some

1365
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: interesting days against Dallas. Taysom Hill add a hundred and

1366
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: one rushing yards, Sam Donald scored twice in the ground.

1367
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was able to run for only thirty five,

1368
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: but his threat of running allowed him to pass for

1369
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: three and two. James Conner hasn't practiced yet this week

1370
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: with a heal injury, although Cliff Singsbury says he's a

1371
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: game time decision. I'd be shocked if he plays. Chase

1372
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: Edmund should get another go as the workhorse, but the

1373
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: horses back is hurting and Edmonds has been limited this

1374
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: week with a back injury, So I'll throw a C

1375
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: grade on Edmonds, that is, if James Conner doesn't go.

1376
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: As Dallas is a better than average defense against the run.

1377
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: The bright spot they're allowing around five receptions per game

1378
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: to opposing backs and a four point four yards per carry,

1379
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: so he should be able to cobble together like a

1380
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: hundred combo yards if he's the lead back. And we

1381
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: saw Chase Edmunds get goal line work with James Conner

1382
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: out last week, and that's always the thing that has

1383
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: capped his upside no touchdowns. And if Connor is not

1384
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: going to go and Edmunds can get goal line work,

1385
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,879
Speaker 1: that gives him a much much higher threshold. Yeah, Christian

1386
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Kirk was charges take a chance on me wide receiver

1387
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: and is the only Cardinals wide receiver I have a

1388
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: starting grade on. He gets a B for me. It's

1389
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: worth noting that DeAndre Hopkins is still out in ron Dale.

1390
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Moore has been limited with an ankle injury this week.

1391
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz has been the beneficiary of all the wide

1392
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: receiver injuries, getting eleven and thirteen targets in the last

1393
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: two weeks, averaging seven catches for sixty four yards in

1394
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: those two games. I'm only gonna throw a C grade

1395
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: on him, though, as j Ron Curse has been tasked

1396
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: with following the tight end for the most part and

1397
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Curses Pro Football focuses third highest graded player in tight

1398
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 1: end coverage. Yeah, so only a SEA on zach Ertz.

1399
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: No didn't need him at all. Dak Prescott, he gets

1400
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,879
Speaker 1: an A grade. Uh. Noted quarterbacks Andy Dalton, Matthew Stafford,

1401
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, and Carson Wentz each managed multiple passing scores

1402
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals in the last four games. That's all

1403
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: four of them in the last four games in the

1404
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: last four weeks. For the wide receivers of the Cowboys win,

1405
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: all three were healthy and on the field. Seedee Lamb

1406
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: averaging nine targets, six catches and sixty seven yards. Mary

1407
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: Cooper six targets, four forty six Gallop seven targets, four

1408
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,799
Speaker 1: forty five. That's not really great. Lamb's averages are teetering

1409
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: on the good side, but Cooper and Gallop are eating

1410
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: each other's lunch. I'll give Lamb the A and sees

1411
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: to both Cooper and Gallop in this one. The Cards

1412
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: have allowed eight wide receiver touchdowns in the last four weeks,

1413
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: so there should be some scores to go around here,

1414
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz gets a B grade. Eight catches and back

1415
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: to back weeks touchdowns and back to back weeks. The

1416
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Cards look good on paper against the tight end, but

1417
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons has struggled recently against tight end coverage. Uh

1418
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: The Niners, Bears, and Panthers each targeted him eight times

1419
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: in coverage, and he's allowed passer ratings of over ninety

1420
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and four of his last seven games. And then finally,

1421
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: the running backs Zeke and Tony Pollo, this one's tough.

1422
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Zeke is seeing about six of the snaps. Hasn't seen

1423
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:50,520
Speaker 1: a twenty carry game since Week five, and that's unfortunate

1424
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: because the Cards have seen four straight runners get twenty

1425
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: or more carries, and three of those four top two

1426
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 1: hundred total yards. Even Craig Reynolds went for one seventeen

1427
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: against Arizona. The Cards have allowed the fewest touchdowns to

1428
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: the running back position this year, at only six total

1429
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: between rushing and receiving. So with that's split, I'm gonna

1430
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: give Zeke a B grade here. I'm going to keep

1431
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: Pollard on the bench because Pollard would need a score

1432
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: to stay relevant and he's not getting enough work. And

1433
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 1: with the cards not allowing touchdowns to opposing backs, that

1434
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: seems like a tall order. Zeke's got the better chance

1435
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: of punching one in. He's still averaging seventeen touches per game,

1436
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: so I think he gets more yards and the chance

1437
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: to get a touch down here. So he just gets

1438
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: the B grade. Yeah, that's uh, that's the backfield that

1439
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: It has been very frustrating. I don't know if I'll

1440
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:44,600
Speaker 1: drafted Dallas back next year. Probably not. It's gonna be

1441
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: too tricky. Keep in mind Zeke's average draft position this year,

1442
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: five fifth spot of the first round. We were all

1443
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: worn and everybody about, you know, our our final peak

1444
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: act of the year. We've you know, we warned, we

1445
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: warned our listeners against that when we came back. Final

1446
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 1: segment of the year, and that includes the ice ball

1447
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: brewin with the Vikings and the Packers. Lots of intrigue

1448
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: and this one, especially on the Packers side, what to

1449
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: do with a bunch of players that are going to

1450
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: have to try to put up some points in miserable conditions.

1451
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how safe Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, the receivers,

1452
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: the running backs, particularly on the Packers side are when

1453
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: we come back for the final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly,

1454
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: final segment of the year for Fantasy Football Weekly, it's

1455
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: a championship edition. We do encourage you to subscribe. You

1456
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: get all the off season shows as well. We do continue,

1457
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: just not in the two hour long format. We do

1458
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: continue into the off season as well. Fantasy Football Weekly

1459
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: final three sets of matchups again with Scott Fish and

1460
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: the Lions taking on the Seahawks. Yeah. So most of

1461
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: the passing game here is on the bench, with Tim

1462
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: Boyle being the starter over Jared Goff. Uh, but I

1463
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: do have a B grade. I'm on on, I'm on

1464
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: ros st Brown, my boy, I love that guy nickname.

1465
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Here's here's the downside. Alman ra with with DeAndre Swift

1466
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: in the game averages three and a half catches in

1467
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: thirty two yards. And he did not score in any

1468
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: of those games. But that was with Hawkinson and that

1469
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: was a bunch of the other receivers. Reynolds and Raymond

1470
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: are on COVID, they're out. Alman Roth is gonna be

1471
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: the only receiver and and they just talked lowingly about him.

1472
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: He's got ten plus ten plus targets in three straight

1473
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: um and he's had a natural progression. I think he

1474
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: gets another ten plus target game here. I got a

1475
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: B grade on him. DeAndre Swift practiced all week in

1476
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: full Dan Campbell said he's completely ready to go and

1477
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: take on the full workload. I have Jamal Williams on

1478
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: the bench because of this now, and I think he

1479
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: goes right back to his pre injury seventeen plus touches

1480
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: that he had an eight straight games before the injury.

1481
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: And remember before that injury he had like a hundred

1482
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 1: thirty yards and two straight or whatever. I think he

1483
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: goes straight back to that. Against the Seahawks defense that

1484
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: ranked second easiest against running backs, Swift is a great

1485
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,879
Speaker 1: pass catchers. Seahawks are allowing the most receptions and receiving

1486
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: yards two running backs. What a week to get him

1487
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: back for your championship. I have an A grade on him.

1488
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: On the other side, Russell Wilson, I have C grade.

1489
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: It's the back half of the season, so you know

1490
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: he's not gonna ry as well. Never does. Lions are

1491
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: top ten against quarterbacks on the year, but over the

1492
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:43,759
Speaker 1: last eight weeks they've been better nine passing touchdowns starting

1493
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: grade here. Here's why they're averaging. They're averaging allowing about

1494
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty yards per game. I think Wilson's better

1495
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: than the quarterbacks they faced in that stretch. That could

1496
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: be argued, I guess because he doesn't. I think he's

1497
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: giving that two fifty yards one to two touchdown range.

1498
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty close to see whethy Um Tyler

1499
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,560
Speaker 1: Lockett B grade. He's combined for eleven catches in the

1500
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Uh, he played a lot, but he's

1501
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: coming off the COVID list. He was really fatigued. He

1502
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: should be up for a better game here Um nine

1503
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: yards and or a score for four straight weeks for

1504
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: the lead receiver against the Lions. I think that's about

1505
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: where Lockett gets. I have a C grade on Metcalfe.

1506
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't love it, but he's been a forty to

1507
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: sixty yard guy. That's how the second receiver usually does

1508
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: against the Lions. I put him in the four to

1509
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: five catches forty to sixty yard range. Hopefully he can

1510
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: get a touchdown. Rashop Penny I toyed with an A

1511
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: grade here, but I didn't. I gave him a B

1512
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: grade every game where rashot Penny has had at least

1513
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: fourteen touches. He's topped a hundred yards in his career

1514
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: and scored. Yeah, it's only four games, but he scored

1515
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: six times in those. I think he gets fourteen touches here.

1516
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: And this Lions defense is one of the worst than

1517
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: the lead their boom against a running I think Penny

1518
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: feats on bad run defenses and he's been stuffed against

1519
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: the good ones. Yes, I think it's that simple lines

1520
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: are bad. All right, that's it for that matchup. Uh,

1521
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is an obviously grade against one of the

1522
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: worst defenses in the league, right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Um.

1523
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: Chubb best part of the Brown's offense against Green Bay

1524
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: last week twenty touches total yards in a score. The

1525
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: Browns still control their playoff destiny despite sitting in last

1526
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: place in the f C North right now, so they're

1527
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna lean on Chubb to try to get them a

1528
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: Division crown. Five running backs have seen twenty or more

1529
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: touches against the Steelers this year. The average line for

1530
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: those backs one fifty total yards and his score the

1531
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: passing game. It's tricky for the Browns. Baker Mayfield, he's

1532
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: on the bench walking it watching him on Christmas Day,

1533
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: one thing is certain. He's not healthy and not a

1534
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: good player right now. You can't play DPJ either, as

1535
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: he's reliant on the big plays and Baker's arm strength

1536
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 1: just isn't there right now. Jarvis land Tree gets the

1537
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: only starting grade. It's a lower case see averaging eight

1538
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: targets per game over the last month. It's more of

1539
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: a volume play here. He has had at least five

1540
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: receptions in three straight matchups with the Steelers, and I

1541
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: do love his matchup against slot corner Arthur Malla, who

1542
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: is Pro Football focuses on six ranked quarterback Naja Harris

1543
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 1: gets a B. He's as reliable as they come for

1544
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: touch totals, seeing twenty or more touches in twelve of

1545
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: his last fourteen games. In the first meeting with the Browns,

1546
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: he managed a hundred and twenty total yards in a

1547
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: score on twenty nine total touches. And it's worth noting

1548
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: that three members of the Browns front seven Miles Garrett,

1549
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: Malik Jackson and Jeremiah Ooosu Coamoa, they're all dealing with

1550
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: some nagging injuries and if active, they might not be

1551
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,839
Speaker 1: as effective The only other starting grade is Deonte Johnson.

1552
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 1: He's been very reliable for targets uh with double digits

1553
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: in that category in ten of fourteen games this year

1554
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: and at least five receptions in every game but one.

1555
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: He'll get Greedy Williams for the most part. Greedy has

1556
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: been roasted twice in the last three weeks with passer

1557
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: ratings over a hundred against Baltimore and Green Bay. He

1558
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: tallied yards on six catches in the first matchup. That's

1559
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, so I'll give him a B grade as well.

1560
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: Pat Friarmouth still struggling to come back from the second

1561
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: concussion in three weeks. I'm nervous. I don't know if

1562
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: he'll go in this one. Claypool, Roethlisberger, everyone else in

1563
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,799
Speaker 1: the passing game there on the bench, you know, without

1564
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: friar Mouth, it really takes the touchdowns out of the

1565
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: passing game for Ben Roethlisberger, who had been really improved

1566
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 1: in that area because of friar Mouths in the second

1567
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: half of the season, and then as soon as friar

1568
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Mouth got hurt, they've dried up again. Absolutely. Yeah, So

1569
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: that's that's been unfortunate, alright, so that was the Monday nighter.

1570
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: Backing up to the the Sunday nighter is this arctic

1571
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: game at lambeau Field against the Vikings and the Packers.

1572
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: The game time tempts are around four degrees and then

1573
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: it's just gonna get colder as the game goes on.

1574
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 1: Because it's a night game, wind chills are expected to

1575
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: be around negative fifteen for this one. This means the

1576
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: running game probably gets emphasized for both teams. And get

1577
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: this thanks to stat head Um, the average passing game

1578
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: in single single digit temperatures over the last eight years

1579
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 1: is sixteen completions, one hundred sixty yards and zero point

1580
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. It would be the high water mark for

1581
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: Seaun Mannion in this Yes, it would a is a

1582
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,799
Speaker 1: matter of fact, Sean Mannion just started for the Vikings.

1583
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: He has never thrown a touchdown pass. He has two

1584
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: career starts, granted they were both week seventeens, with other

1585
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: backups around on every other year every Yeah. So um,

1586
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't like any part of the passing game except

1587
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson. I had numbered A seventeen by I had

1588
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: downgraded Jefferson from an A to a B just on

1589
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: the weather and knowing passing games due Now I'm downgrading

1590
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: in from a B to a C on Sean Mannion

1591
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: because I I, you know, I just don't think Sean

1592
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: Manion is very good and it's not breaking news and

1593
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: that and I believe that the the the Packers will

1594
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: scheme to stop Jefferson now they have, they do throw

1595
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: to him a ton or they have at least they

1596
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: were with kirk thirteen targets per game over the last month.

1597
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: Green Bays allowed six receivers to post at least seventy

1598
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: five yards over the last month of games. But I

1599
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I'm nervous. It's justin Jefferson, He's great.

1600
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I think you still start him because he kind of

1601
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 1: has to. But ah, this is a tough spot. Dalvin Cook.

1602
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on him. The Packers are

1603
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: gonna sell out to stop Dalvin Cook at all costs

1604
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: and make Sewan Mannion beat them. The Packers normally see

1605
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,839
Speaker 1: the third fewest rushing attempts here, but it's Mike Zimmer

1606
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: and Cook's got a great history against the Packers, but

1607
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: that was with kirk Um and so Cook averaging twenty

1608
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: six touches per game in his full games. If he's

1609
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: at twenty six, you still have to play him because

1610
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: enough good things can happen just to be great on

1611
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and what should be a one sided game.

1612
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the other side. We think.

1613
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: I think this thing is a thornier and a little

1614
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 1: bit trickier to deal with. So here's how I see

1615
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: this game going. Packers are going to get ahead because

1616
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: they're the better team. The Vikings are gonna have a

1617
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: punchless offense with Sean Mannion, and then the Packers will

1618
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 1: just run on a cold field and not even have

1619
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: to worry. We talked about how how all passing games get.

1620
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: This is a point when you get to single digit degrees,

1621
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: like four degrees, the passing game just doesn't come together

1622
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: almost always. So I've got Aaron Rodgers with a B

1623
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 1: grade in this one. He's thrown three or four touchdowns

1624
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: and three straight games against Minnesota in Minnesota Secondary. He's

1625
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: ill equipped to deal with Davante Adams, who remains an

1626
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: A grade even in spite of everything else. Um, I

1627
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: think you have to decide for yourself and just how

1628
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: much you think the passing is going to be affected

1629
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: by the weather in this one. I'm keeping a B

1630
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 1: grade on Aaron Rodgers. Most of you will continue to

1631
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: start because you're not gonna have a better option, But

1632
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 1: just know this, there's a point where it gets so

1633
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: cold that the passing games almost always get affected. Um.

1634
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: The other receivers I had starting grades on markis Felt,

1635
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: the Scantling and Alan Lazard before the weather crystallized here. Um,

1636
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: And I'm worried about the running game taking over, but

1637
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: they've got great matchups and if you if you need

1638
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: desperation dart throws, consider Scantling, especially. The Vikings have really

1639
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: struggled against him in particular in the past, and he's

1640
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,599
Speaker 1: their deep yardage, big play guy. So if you are

1641
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: a twenty point underdog Marcus Velda, Scantling could make some

1642
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 1: sense even in the arctic conditions. By the way, the

1643
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: line in the game went from six and a half

1644
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: to thirteen and a half. Yeah, amazing, right, and just yeah,

1645
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: but you know that's what Kirk does. Oh yeah, seven

1646
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: and a half point. Apparently he is or seven and

1647
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 1: a half points. Okay, so don't stop about running backs.

1648
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: So Aaron Jones has still got a bulky need Um,

1649
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: but we've seen his his rushing increase week over week.

1650
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: I worry that they're going to on a frozen field,

1651
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: bad need They're gonna turn to quad Zilla, just like

1652
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: they did in that cold snow game last year in

1653
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: late December when he got almost all the work. I've

1654
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 1: got a B grade on a J. Dillon and a

1655
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: C grade on Aaron Jones. I think you should call

1656
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: six touchdowns for a J. Dillon, just like against the

1657
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Vikings UH at this time last year. Um, So there

1658
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 1: you go. Last thing, I want to mention my fantastic

1659
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:37,000
