0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>along with the guys from League dot Com, here's your host.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It's championship Week. We are here to help you bring

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>home the hardware in this the ultimate week of the

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football season. I Paul Cherochi and my co host

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>today Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. Hello, guys, Hi, I

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>am sure you're both alive in several leagues. I'm playing

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>in several leagues as well. Nope, none, none, not one, Nope.

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>It's the fantasy playoffs of hell this year. And it

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter how good of a team you've built, it's

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>all blown up in this. It's kind of true. I

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>mean you you could have assembled the perfect roster and

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>just had Covid chip away at it over these past

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>few weeks to the point that it doesn't matter. I

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>thought I did. That's what happened. It's it's tough. It's

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this is it's as difficult a year as there's been

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in many ways, as unjust a year as there's ever

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>been in fantasy football. History, because there's you know, there's

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>no justice or knowing who's going to get COVID who's not.

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, there were just so many things up

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in the air this week and this year. So we're

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>here to help you for the final time this year

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the weekend's actions. But I want to

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>remind you Fantasy Football Weekly continues even though we will

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>not be in our extended two hour format. We will

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>not be over the air. We will be in our

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>podcast format, and we encourage you to subscribe if you

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>haven't already, so you can continue to get Fantasy Football

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Weekly all off season as well. But this is the

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>official end of year twenty seven. Yes, this is the

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>this is the end of twenty seven. I'm not sure

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>if twenty eight begins until next August, so maybe this

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is it's the of the on air part. It's the

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>end of twenty seven years. I was realizing this is

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>my ninth year, so I've gone through nine times worth

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of Fantasy Football Weekly so far. Feels like a lot more,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that much. Man, it drags, it

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>really does. Speaking of things that drag, the Panthers take

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>on the Saints and wait game I will put the

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>over under on your starters for this game. Both teams

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>are two and a half. Well, since I already uh

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe clued you in on this, I have two starters

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in this game. It's pretty bad here. The first starter

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>is DJ More of the Carolina Panthers. Last week, with

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the hybrid of Cam and Sam at quarterback, the Panthers

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>actually attempted forty five passes against Tampa Bay, which led

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to eleven targets for more actually ten targets for Robby

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Anderson to more seen at least ten targets in four straight.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>The quality of the targets just hasn't been there though.

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>The match up against the Saints is similar to the

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Bucks last week, easier to pass on than run, so

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I expect another high volume passing day, but just to

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>see grade for more because these throws haven't been great.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Olive Anderson on the bench, but if you need an

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>absolute home run dart throw, I could see throwing him

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>in some lie and ups Chuba Hubbard. He's obviously on

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the bench. In the last two weeks, he's totaled fourteen

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>carries for forty nine yards. That's total in two weeks.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Gross and the Saints are very stingy against the run.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, Alvin Kamara, he gets just a

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>C grade here with you on this, especially if those

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>tackles don't play Tara Armstrong, Ryan ram Check. They've arm instead,

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>They've been They've missed the better part of a month. Now.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>They both could come back for this game, and then

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little more interest in Kimara. Without them, I'm

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>nervous even with uh He's been held at bay by

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>two good defenses in Tampa and Miami in the last

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, and in rolls in Carolina, and the Panthers

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>have allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns, the fewest reception receptions

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and receiving yards to opposing backs, and they have not

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>allowed one receiving touchdown to an opposing running back on

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the year. That eats into a lot of Camara's awesomeness.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>In eight career meetings with the Panthers, Camara has topped

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven rushing yards once. Geez, that's it, and in

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the meeting with the Panthers back in Week three, he

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>was held to twelve total touches and thirty total yards.

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He does get a sea because the Panthers will be

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>missing what looks like four of their starting front seven

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>in this game, So there's a little hope there. Uh,

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Taysom Hill and Marquez Callaway would be the only guys

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you would consider in the passing game, but I have

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>them both on the bench. The Panthers are allowing under

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>two passing yards per game, and the only really good

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>game allowed by the Panthers this year to quarterbacks where

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts in Week five and Kirk Cousins in Week six.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Since then, no quarterback has topped two two yards and

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>only two quarterbacks have been able to manage multiple touchdowns.

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And since that Hurts game, no quarterback has scored on

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>the ground either, So that hurts Taysom Hill. So they

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>are on your bench, and that is it for that

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>terrible game which might hit twenty total points. I think

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe maybe defensive points. Didn't think of that. I mean,

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it's probably how most of the points are scored here.

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Scott Falcons take on the Bills, and the storyline to

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the biggest storyline for the Falcons, Haman, the disappearance of

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>cour Darrel Patterson was you know, I think through September,

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>October and much of November was the best story in

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football, and now virtually I'm starting. I'm finally I'm

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>finally ready charged. The last few weeks, I've been giving

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you to ben him, but he keeps scoring. So I

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>have not been wrong on those starts because he scored

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>each of them one touchdown in twelve yards. Yeah, maybe

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>he maybe he deserved to see last week instead of higher,

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but uh, I'm finally with you on this one. This week.

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Patterson over the last five weeks has been held up

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>by his four scores. That's that's the only thing holding

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>him up. He's Uh. His usage has gone way down,

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>both receiving and running the ball. He gets Sea level

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>amounts of touches still, though the scoring keeps him in lineups.

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>This week, I think he's his his ceiling is closer

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to his see. I have the volume C grade on

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 1>him because of how much red zone usage he gets,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.359
<v Speaker 1>but his ten plus touches red zone usage, I'm barely

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>given him a SEA this week. I would I would

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>give him a bench grade. But that's all right. That's fine.

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>That's fine. That's if people can mention, if they have

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the options to bench him, that's that's fine. I'm okay

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>with it. I have Matt Ryan on the bench a

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>couple more games, a couple more qbs facing the Bills

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>under a hundred and seventy five yards. That's now five

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>games in the last six where the Bills of health

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>quarterback under a hundred seventy five yards. Brady is the

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>only one that got past that market. And Matt Ryan,

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't had multiple touchdowns since Week nine. You're just

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>not starting him. You're not starting him any week. Russell Gauge,

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I have a C grade on He had a nice

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>run when the volume was there, top twelve wide receiver

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>three out the last four weeks, but he crashed last week.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He still had five plus targets, he had like forty

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>nine yards. It's it wasn't that bad of a game.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I have a sea level start on him here. It

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 1>is a tough matchup, but he's really going to be

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the only guy out there in the ride wide receiving

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>corps and almost every week he's getting forty to sixty

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>plus yards possible scores, and the Bills are allowing forty

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to sixty yards to their top wide receiver each week.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're looking at four to five catches, forty to

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>sixty yards. That's sea level. In my mind, that's like

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a zero elevation start sea level. Yes, they're sure that works,

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>cal Pits, I have a B grade. Um, there we go.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Bills are tough against tight ends, but they here's how

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>they've done against top twelve types Top twelve when they

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>played Gasecki. Both times, Kelsey and Gronk all had forty

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to sixty five yards and several scores. Among them, Logan

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Thomas had a six dr day and score against them.

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>All the other tight ends, the non twelve top twelve

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>guys average about eleven yards per name. That's why they're

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>That's why overall they're great. So the Kelsey, Grondkasecki, I

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>put Pits up with them. I have a B grade

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>on him because he gets six plus touches in all

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but two games. The tight ends that have had that

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>volume have had the good days against the Bills. Over

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on the Bill side, A grade for John John this season,

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>he's just had just one game where he didn't have

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>at least three d total yards that's passing plus rushing

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>for multiple scores. Just one game, and that was the

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>windy New England game, so it doesn't count he's done

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>in every game. Now he gets the third easiest matchup

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>for quarterbacks. I'm loving his top guy digs here against

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons team that's fourth easiest against wide receivers. Uh,

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it feels like he's had kind of a down year

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>for some reason. I feel like Diggs. It feels like

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>it started last year. It's not as good as last year, right,

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and it started slowly for Diggs as well. He's seen

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>over seven targets in every game. He's had fifty plus

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>yards and or score in literally every game this year's

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>he has hundred fifty three touchdowns games like last year,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>but he's been solidly consistent. He's got nine touchdowns. I

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>do have an A grade on him here against this

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>matchup now with Sanders likely out, he's questionable, but he's

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>likely gonna be out. He hasn't practiced this week. Davis

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to be back, Beasley is going to be back,

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and they they're really digging Isaiah Mackenzie this week in practice.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>They used him a fair amount last week. They used

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>him a ton last week, and they really liked what

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>they got out of him. I have them on the

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>bench because I think they're gonna just each other. Yeah,

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I just monopolize each other's targets. Um, I liked it

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 1>better when a couple of them were out. We could

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>make a dart throw out of one of them, but

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we can't. Here, Dawston Knox be grade. What happened last

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>week is basically what exactly what we called. We didn't

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>think he'd have high volume, but we thought he could

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>score because he's been scoring a lot. He got a

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>one year touching on at the very end of the

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>game and really saved some folks. The Falcons, however, allowed

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>scores and big games to Gronk Gasecki got her. Kittle

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>had six for ninety two two weeks ago. Good tight

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>ends play against the Falcons. Gotta be greade on Knox here.

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Devin Singletary. Over the last three weeks, he has forty

0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>four rush attempts. Breda has four, Zack Moss has four.

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>That's it. It's all his back backfield now, and somehow

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>it's still he's still not fantasy relevant since Terry just

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>can't find his way to be somebody you want to

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>put in your lineup. I know, but this week I

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of like him because he's a good pass catcher,

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>He's got five plus catches in three to last four games.

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta is It's shocking. Atlantic is bad against pass catching

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>running backs for the twentieth year in a row. It

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>seems like their bottom ten, allowing the seventh most receptions

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and yards to pass catching running backs. Given his full

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.719
<v Speaker 1>workload and the amount of receptions he's probably gonna get

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in this one, I gotta be grade on Signletary this weekend.

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that's pretty bold considering what he's done. Giants

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>take on the Bears will still be our last matchup

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of this segment, Thank god. Yeah, no kidding and ending

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>on an awfully exciting one, aren't we yea Giants? What

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I meant? Right? Every part of the passing game for

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the Giants is obviously on the bench, and we don't

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>even have to explain that, but I will mention this.

0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>The team's leading receiver last week had twenty eight yards. Yeah,

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that's it's come to this for the passing game. But

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>what about Sae Kwon Barkley? You may ask, is this

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>your last chance to get value out of that lace

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>first round pick you put into Sae Kwon Barkley? Hell? No,

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>no bench grade for sake, Kwon Barkley with declining rushing

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and receiving yards in three consecutive weeks. He's hit the

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>end zone once since Week four. DeVante Bookers stealing carries

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and receptions, not just doing carries. They was talked this

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>week that they're gonna split the workload between the two.

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't surprise me if se Kwon Barkley is in

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 1>a similar offense with Daniel Jones next year. What round

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is he taken in next year? I mean, if it's

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>basically this same team, is he a third round pick? Fourth, fourth, fifth, Yeah,

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's probably about where he'll go. Unfortunately, it's

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>just the reality of where it is because we replay

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the previous season with drafting um Chicago's the middle of

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the pack run defense, but the Bears are six in

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards allowed to running backs and they're giving up

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>just thirty yards through the air, and a lot of

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>what Barkley has been able, what little values had has

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 1>come through the air. Can't even count on that. So

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving him on the bench. You got here without

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>him somehow to the championship week. You shouldn't need him here.

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Bears yeah, no kidding. Uh, David

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Montgomery gets an A grade. He's surpassed twenty touches in

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>four of the last five games. I love the volume.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>He's turned those opportunities into an average of nine seven

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>total yards per game and two touchdowns over that five

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>game span. He's also seen his role in the passing

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>game explode, leading the Bears with thirty four targets and

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine receptions over that same five game span. Only

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 1>three teams have allowed more running back touches than the

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>nearly thirty per game that New York permits here. So

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>all the volume and opportunities for David Montgomery and a

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>grade for him this week. I like justin fields here.

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>We liked. We talked about this last week and then

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>he didn't end up playing. But he's back for this

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>week or expecting to be back for this week. Um,

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure Andy Dalton was named starter? Is he okay?

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go, Edie Dalton. I was gonna let

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>me let me you might be right about I haven't

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>looked today for new news. It's possible you're right about that.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It's uh. I was hoping you'd be able to go.

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He had had had top ten fantasy quarterback finishes in

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>four straight weeks, and they have named Dalton starter. Okay, well,

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton doesn't bring a lot to the table here

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna give him no more than a C grade.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Against the Giants. New York secondary isn't terrible, but they've

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>given up multiple touchdowns in into a bunch of middling

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.959
<v Speaker 1>pastors like Teddy Bridgewater and Taylor Heineke and Matt Ryanan

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and to a tongueo Via Loa. So I can see

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Andy Dalton, but no higher than that,

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're not going to start him here in the

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>championship week. Darnell Mooney gets a C grade. He's seen

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>at least seven targets in five of his last six games,

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>including nine from Nick Foles last week. Nine times. That's

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>three times as many as the next highest receiver at

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bears. So really, this passing offense goes through Mooney

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and Montgomery. Over their last four games, New York allowing

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh most yards to receivers hundred sixty per game.

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>They've given a five scores to the position as well,

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>so in the last four games, so there's a there's

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a nice opportunity for for Mooney here. He doesn't always

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>make the best of these good opportunities on paper because

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I I think I've recommended him a lot over the

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>last month or so, he hasn't done much for us here.

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>He'll go up against James Bradbury and Logan Ryan the most.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>They're both allowing a passer rating of at least in

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>their coverage. When we come back, take a chance on me,

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and you would think at the end of the year

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>in the championship game, you wouldn't have to go dumpster

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 1>diving for players. Yeah you do, No, no, no. With

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>COVID out there and Amicron, yes, suddenly we need all

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 1>those guys that you can find off of the waiver wire.

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Will help you identify nine players that you would not

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>normally start in the championship game, but you can this

0:14:53.240 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>week when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, on

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>me nine players not only in your starting lineup, we

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>will tell you who they are be going to get

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position and Matt Harrison, who you got. Derek

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Carr has the fifth most passing attempts on the year

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and the third most yards, and the Raiders are not

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>afraid to air it out. They face the Colts team

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that scuffled a bit in the last half of the

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>year since Week eight, the Colts allowed Ryan Tannehill to

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>have his only good game in the second half of

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the season. Then Jet Josh Johnson through for three seventeen

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and three against them, and Mac Jones hit his high

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>water mark for the last mark with and two in

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>week fifteen. So fire up, Derek Carr. All right, Scott,

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you're get chance at the quarterback. I'm going with Tyler

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Snoop Puntley if we're gonna throw out their nicknames, and

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>might as well throw out Tyler Snoop Puntley. His worst

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>rushing game on the years forty yards, his worst passing

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>game on the year fifteen yards. In the in games

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he start started, He's a threat to score with his

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>legs at all times. He's got three scores in the

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>last three games. They're gonna they're likely going to be

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>chasing points in this one. Um. And also that rams

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>pass runch pass rush I think makes Huntley get outside

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the pocket and run front for his life. A nickname thought,

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought you said Josh Jet Johnson. No, he was

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a Jet at the time, Okay, I I think we're

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>just throw it out there. Okay, no, not everybody on

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the Jets is nickname Jet. I'm going with Tray Laser

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Lance because apparently everybody has to have a nickname now,

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and I've just given one to Tray Lance. With Jimmy

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo out, Lance is your starter against Hugh Houston. We've

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>seen Lance for major parts of two games. In the

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>first game, he threw two touchdowns. Second game, he ran

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>for eighty nine yards. So what if he rolls that

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>all together into one game. What if we get rushing

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and passing against Houston. It's certainly possible. Houston secondary is competent.

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 1>It's not great, it's competent. And the Niners receivers are

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>dramatically better than anybody basically the Houston seen all year,

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and Lance has got the big arm. All he needs

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to do is a couple of deep connections and a

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of rushes. Get the ball into the hands of Deebo, Samuel,

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle, Brandon. I let them do something specially. You

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>can find your way to a good game with Tray

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Lance on the ground and through the air. Let's go

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to the running back position, Matt. I've got a double

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>up here. I've got the gatekeeper, Ronald Jones and the

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.680
<v Speaker 1>key master Keyshawn Vaughan. Uh, we can do double again,

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>do the double there. Jones is the more obvious one here,

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>he's roster and of the leagues, but Vaughn is widely

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>available and startable in a pinch against the Jets because

0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the Jets are terrible against the run. How terrible are they?

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>They're more terrible against the run than Charge's attitude when

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>we even try to say the words plus or minus

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 1>on the quiet. They're more terrible against the run than

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fishes with the food pyramid. They're more terrible against

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the run than Matt was in the Big Bore Guillotine League.

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>They're even worse than Colin mccockney. Running backs are averaging

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and sixties six Comboy yards and two scores

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a game against the Jets. Yeah, I mean, I mean

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that was my Rodney dangerfield. It's really right there, nicely done. Uh,

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you're running back, Scott, you take a chance of be're

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>running back. I'm going with Boston, Scott, and apparently to

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.639
<v Speaker 1>add Jordan Howard to it, all right, why not? Wait? Wait, wait,

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Boston what's his nickname? Boston? Boston. He's the only fully

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>healthy back right now for this team with Sanders is

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>out with a broken hand. Howard has a stinger and

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of Gainewell has an ankle injury. So and he

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>was very useful, very productive in his loans darts. If

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Howard does go, they both might be usable. This

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>is This is an Eagles team that lit up Washington

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 1>for two hundred yards in their last out, and over

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks, Washington d has been free

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>falling against the run. They've allowed a couple of touchdowns,

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of sixty and a hundred yard rushers. UM

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.879
<v Speaker 1>good spot for both of them, but I like Boston's

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit more. Howard is top fifty six

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>total yards in every game in which he's seen the field.

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And so if he is a lot of stripe work too,

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he does. Who doesn't like stripe work? We all do?

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Does he have a nickname? Stripe work? I like it?

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, great, we'll go with that. I'm going with

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 1>h Do you dare to start? Darre on goon? Dare

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>to dream? How dare to dream? Dar to dream? Work?

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Chopping on the fly oh, Jordan Howard's nickname was the

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Bulldozer was well, it makes sense. I don't know. I

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>like the strip striper's way better way. After Robinson left

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the ton Achilles. Last week, dare goombo wal A played

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>every offensive snap except one. He put up seventy two

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>total yards and a score. Last week they gave him

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 1>nineteen touches in a reserve role, so this is there. Obviously,

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 1>will have no hesitancy to use him copiously against the Jets,

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.640
<v Speaker 1>arguably the worst run defense in the league. Sorry the Patriots.

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 1>The Jets last week worst one of the worst run defenses,

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:36.239
<v Speaker 1>and the lead. You wouldn't think it. They're giving up

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the six most total yards one fifty three per game

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to opposing running backs. They don't give up a ton

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of touchdowns here, but anybody who's having that much success

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.199
<v Speaker 1>on the ground's got a chance to score. Now, you

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>may remember dar A to dream oh goonbow A had

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a similar role at the end of last year. They

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>had to go to him in a pinch and he performed. Well, there,

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.040
<v Speaker 1>here's another opportunity just to pile on. He was a

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.400
<v Speaker 1>great pass catcher in uh in Tampa a few years

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.719
<v Speaker 1>ago and the paths are missing four linebackers on COVID.

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>There we go, that another opportunity. There you go, another

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>reason to day to dream. Let's go to the wide

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 1>receiver position, Matt, I've got Davante Carnival Parker. Parker has

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:22.959
<v Speaker 1>played in two consecutive games. Well, sorry, Parker has not

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.880
<v Speaker 1>played in two consecutive games since Week three and Week four.

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 1>This is true. I would not have guessed. Yeah, okay,

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>but he's had at least seventy seven yards or a

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>score in three of his last four games played. They've

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>been spaced out a bit though. Uh. This week he

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.919
<v Speaker 1>gets a tightened secondary that could be missing starting cornerback

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Jack Rabbit Jenkins. And that's not a nickname with an

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>ankle injury, and it is a nickname that he's turned

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>into his full name. That's true. And I think that's

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of weird. And did he go to the d

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 1>m V and like, um, you know, I think you

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>got to go to the judge. You can't go to

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the d m V and change change it there. Uh. Then,

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and and back up Busted green Door, who is currently

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>on the COVID list, so he's gonna probably see Christian

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Fulton Fulton gave up seven catches for a hundred and

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty three yards in his coverage just last week against

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, So fire up, Davante Parker. Your is that

0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>his full name? Carnival Partner? Um? All right, Scott, You'll

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>take a chance to be a wide receiver. I'm gonna

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:26.879
<v Speaker 1>go with Noah nickname Fant. The Charger's sea has allowed

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the second most and the second most receiving yards and

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the second most scores to tight ends. And oh, they

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>have Jerry Judy on COVID, Tim Patrick on COVID, and

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Sutton is likely to be on COVID by the time

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.679
<v Speaker 1>possibly you're listening to this, so they're gonna have very

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>few other options to go to. I am using Arizona

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:56.880
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Christian Captain Kirk uh huh as he that works,

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it does. He's been the long listeners are pleased off.

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He's been the leading every time I'm on this show.

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Charch does a Star Trek reference. I don't know what's

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>with him. He's been the leading receiver since DeAndre Hopkins

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 1>was placed on injured reserve, and he is gonna go.

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Kobayashi Maru the Dallas Cowboys Kirk has at least nine

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:22.120
<v Speaker 1>targets and seven catches in each of these games. Without

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins, he's averaging seventy one yards. And you might think, oh,

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>but Chart, we can't start anybody against the likes of

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>of of Trayvon Diggs. He's too good. But what do

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.439
<v Speaker 1>we always remind people on this show? Trayvon Diggs a

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>lot more yardage in his coverage than any cornerback. And

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Kirk works out of the slot a lot, and there

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:47.360
<v Speaker 1>he faces Anthony Brown, who's allowed the third most yardage

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in his coverage. Christian Captain Kirk is our final take

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a Chance of Me player Charch. We're never going to

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>remember this, but I think that we should always give

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>a nickname to every take a Chance on Me player

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>from But we're not going to remember Brick because it

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 1>is the last show of the year. We're gonna be

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a listener to remind us. Please do but if somebody

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 1>put this in your calendar for next for next August,

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and remind us that that we've talked about doing this

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 1>but have not committed to doing this. All right, let's

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 1>work too through a couple more matchups. Raiders take on

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>the Colts Matt you already told us you like Derek

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Carr in this one, so I means you must like

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>at least some of his receivers. Some of them Hunter

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Renfro has been clamped down by a couple of good

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>secondaries in Cleveland and Denver over the last two weeks.

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 1>The Colts have actually been one of the best secondaries

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in the league against wide receivers in the last month

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and change. In their last four games, wide receivers have

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>averaged as a group only nine three total receiving yards,

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and they've only allowed one total touchdown to wide receiver

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>in the last four weeks. With that, I can't give

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Renfro more than a C grade, but I hope the

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>volume goes up here. Darren Waller landed on the COVID

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>list on Wednesday, which means he has a very outside

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>chance to play Sunday. If he does go, he gets

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 1>an A grade. If he doesn't go, Foster Kobe I

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>she Morow becomes start worthy against with a C grade

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 1>here because the Colts have allowed the most receptions and

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 1>yards to the tight end position this season. The only

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 1>on the Raider to start as uh Josh Jacobs. He's

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>back to Bell Cowing only gets a C grade. Here

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight touches last week, the one back has top

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Only one back has topped sixty rushing yards against the

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Colts in their last seven games. They have given up

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>a fair amount of receiving work though in the last

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>month to opposing backs, and Jacob has been a very

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>good receiver in the latter half of the year. Jonathan Taylor,

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he gets the fantasy art vark. That's pretty easy. He's

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>the best running back in football. It's one of the

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>worst run defenses in football. We don't need to even

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 1>expand on that. Carson Wentz has an outside chance of

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>playing Sunday after landing on the COVID list if he

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>does clear the protocols. But either way, I'm leaving the

0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Colts quarterback on the bench. If it's not Wentz, it's

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Sam Ellinger. But the Raiders are great against the past

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and porous against the run. Wentz is only top two

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 1>or twenty yard once in his last six games, and

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pittman is the only other guy we need to mention.

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>He gets a C grade. I considered downgrading him if

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Ellinger does start, but in that scenario, I think it's

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a pass funnel to only Pittman uh and only three

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.399
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers have hit the one yard mark on the

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Raiders all year. They've allowed the third fewest touchdowns to

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>the position. If you have another option, play your other option.

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>But he's still seaworthy, um Scott, I'm guessing we can

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 1>get Jaguars Pats done in like two and a half

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a minute. So let's try to squeak it into this

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>segment if you would. Yeah. So, the only startable grade

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I had for the entire Jags team was Daria Goombo

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Walle had a C grade on Dream Yes Starry to

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>dream the whole past game. The Pats are top four

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 1>against QBS wide receivers and tight ends. They are twelfth

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 1>easiest for running backs though, so I was starting grade

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 1>on on goomble l A. On the other side, I

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>have Mac Jones on the bench. We've talked at length

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>for the last few weeks about how the Jags d

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>has has held down opposing you know, quarterbacks and one

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>receivers and whatnot. In the last seven weeks, only Stafford

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>top two passing yards against the Jags. Uh. So I

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:10.880
<v Speaker 1>have Jones on the bench. I don't think they're gonna

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>run a lot. Also, I think our passed a lot.

0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the game script will beat them ahead so

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.199
<v Speaker 1>they won't have to pass. So I have Jones on

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the bench. I have a C grade on Jacoby Myers.

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.439
<v Speaker 1>With Nelson egil are out and Kendrick Born on COVID,

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>who else is gonna throw? By the way, Josh McDaniels saying,

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:34.959
<v Speaker 1>this week we've we've dramatically underutilized John Smith, which I'm like, duh,

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.439
<v Speaker 1>but it's another another week. It was another week, another

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 1>five to six catch game for Myers, another eight plus

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 1>targets from our ears and no scores because he you know,

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't do that. But you're getting a four to

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>six catch guy with forty eight yards. That's a C

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>grade there for Myers. I have Henry on the bench

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 1>last week. Is why Henry is so tough to start.

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 1>If he does not score, which he's done a lot

0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of times, like seven eight times this year, when he

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 1>does not score, he completely tanks your team. I don't

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.159
<v Speaker 1>want to start him in a championship week, especially against

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the defense that has allowed one tight end touchdown since

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Week five, and that was kittle Uh in the running game.

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Harrison Stevenson. I have c grades on both. Stevenson's off COVID.

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna play. He might be a little run down,

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 1>he was fatigued at practice whatnot. We are seeing some

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>of that where you know, some guys snap right back

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and others others are fatigued and and you know, yeah,

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the quotes from what was It Brandon Cooks about how

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>tired he was on the field and Tyreek Hill, Um, yes, um.

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I have a secret on both. Though Harris's questionable. He's

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna go, though we saw him play last week with

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that injury. It's going to be a great grant, great

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>game script with them ahead, they'll run both runners. The

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Jags are ten top ten against running backs, but I

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>see them both getting tent plus touches. So I have secrets,

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, that makes sense to me. I think you

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:53.959
<v Speaker 1>can probably use both guys when we come back. Chiefs

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>take on the Bengals. They, you know, to start the

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>obvious guys I'm fascinated by dar Old Williams will tell

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you what to do about him and whether or not

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow will maintain the hot hand from last week

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>five yards and four touchdowns against a much tougher defense.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Ob another double double, thousand yards and eight touchdowns coming

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>your way. We'll tell you what to expect from some

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of the trickier plays out of this matchup when we

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Paul Charchy in with you. My co host today are

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. If you want to follow

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>us on Twitter, I am at Paul Charchy and Matt

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Harrison is at Explosive Output. Scott Fish is at Scott

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Fish twenty four. Apparently there were twenty three others who

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>had already been at Scott Fish and man uh and

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and Ken gurk Fish. That's really are you talking about? Ken?

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish's uh Chiefs take on the Bengals. You know

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>what to do With Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, and Tyreek Hill.

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>They all returned to obvious a status probably anyway. Bengals

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 1>have given up big passing games to Jimmy Garoppolo and

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Josh Johnson in the past three weeks, and Homes just

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>put up a very good game without Kelsey and mostly

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>without Hill and now back. Although Hill says he's still

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>not totally over COVID yet, so a little bit of

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>caution there, but you're gonna start those guys, and I've

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>got a grades in all of them. Let's talk about

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the trickier play, which I think is Darryl Williams. Clyde

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Edwards a layers out and in games he's missed, Darryl

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Williams averaging nineteen touches total yards and half a score

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>per game. Pretty solid numbers. Bengals allowing the fifth fewest

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards, but the fourth most receptions and the fifth

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>most receiving yards to opposing backs. And Williams a capable receiver,

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's the probable goal line back for any running

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 1>opportunities that may present themselves. So I've got a B

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:13.479
<v Speaker 1>grade on Darryl Williams. Derek Gore is tricky because last

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>week he got a bunch of usage and a blowout win.

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't see a blowout wind coming and I don't

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>trust him to get anywhere near the same kind of usage.

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So he will he be on the field. Yes, maybe

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>at a goal line situation because he has a bigger back,

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think you want to start Derek Gore

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in a championship week, and we're not gonna I love

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Byron Pringle. We're not going to chase his two touchdowns

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>from last week. I mean Byron Stacks Pringles. Oh yes, absolutely,

0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Stacks are better than Pringles. Stat is a great fact.

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>And the people, the people that are Pringles supporters have

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 1>never had Stacks. No, or they don't like crispinus who

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like Crispy too? And I don't understand. See the

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Stack is thicker and a little salty here. I like

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it about it. Oh yeah, let's go to the Cincinnati

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 1>side hungry. Now, let's start with Joe Mix and just

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 1>get his bit out of the way here. He isn't

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a grade. His eight two snapshare last week tells you

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that he's finally back to full health. And I think

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he came back to a big role in the passing

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>game as well, which I liked. He's got a positive

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>match up here against a Kansas City team that has

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>struggled against backs lately. Over their last four games, Kansas

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>City allowing one hundred seventy total yards per game to

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the position, which would be second most if we applied

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that over a full season. So I like Joe makes

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it a lot in this game. A grade. Now, let's

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>go to Joe Burrow. Obviously the monster game last week

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>against an injury ravaged Ravens secondary, but he's gonna go

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>one d eighty degrees here against a much, much tougher defense.

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 1>As a reminder, prior to last week's explosion from Joe Burrow,

0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 1>he had thrown zero or one touchdown in five of

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the previous six games. Here comes Kansas City. They've allowed

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the second fewest fantasy points per pass attempt over the

0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>last six weeks, and since Week six, no posing quarterback

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 1>has managed the top two hundred seventy yards, and no

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 1>quarterback his top two touchdown since all the way back

0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in Week five. I'm the two touchdowns is your upside

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on Joe Burrow in this game, and one touchdown might

0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>be more likely and he's gotta be grade. Let's go

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to Tee Higgins, my preferred receiver out of the group here.

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>He ranks second only to Cooper Cup in receiving yards

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>since Week twelve, and he's tied for second with four

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in that span. He's gonna facere various word in

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Mike Hughes on the outside. They've allowed just one score

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>between them in the last three games. Most of the

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver damage that's being done to Kansas City is

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>coming in garbage time of thirty point blowouts, and that's

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>not likely to happen here. So I do have some trepidation.

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>But Tee Higgens so hot over the last month. I've

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 1>got him maintaining the A grade, so we're gonna keep

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>him at A. Joe Higgins, Yeah, No, I was thinking

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>we need a Handsel. Uh you know, Handsel so hot

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.759
<v Speaker 1>right now? Button, I don't know what you're talking about.

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Hand I didn't see zoo man. I can't help you

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>on that, all right. Uh. Paul rudds seems pretty cool though,

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and he loves fantasy football, So no, it wasn't Paul

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Rodd that was It was Ben Stiller. Yeah, maybe he

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>likes Maybe he plays in Paul Redd's league. That's possible.

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean you you assume they're friends because they Jamaar Chase, Uh,

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Jamaar Car Chase. There you go, We'll go with it.

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh is clearly the number two options in this offense,

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and his box scers have been wildly inconsistent. Many of

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the same defensive worries I've got for Higgins apply to

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Chase because Chase is also on the outside. You didn't

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.280
<v Speaker 1>see the same guys here. Um, there's a good secondary.

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 1>It's giving up very little. So I've got to be

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 1>great on Chase just because of the upside that he brings.

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.839
<v Speaker 1>But I really toyed for a long time with making

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>his see and I'm worried about Chase in this game.

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Tyler boy is a C grade. He's now a clips

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>eighty five yards and or scored in three of the

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 1>past four games, which I like. He'll see Legarius Snead

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 1>out of the slot, and he's been good. He's given

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.319
<v Speaker 1>up just one score in his last eight games. Your

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>glimmer of hope is that Snead has allowed a sev

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 1>catch rate in that stretch of the last eight games,

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:20.880
<v Speaker 1>but not touchdown. So maybe Tyler Boyd will help you

0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 1>out that way. Let's move on to our next matchup,

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.359
<v Speaker 1>which is the Bucks taking on the Jets. Matt And

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 1>for this one, Ronald Jones coming off a big workload

0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>last week and a juicy matchup this week. You're talking

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 1>about the gatekeeper. Yeah, he and the key Master might

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me, right, that's right, you went

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 1>one two on that. Jones gets a be Von gets

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a c UH. Tom Brady, he gets a B grade.

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 1>It's so easy to run on the Jets that they

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 1>faced to the seventh fewest passing attempts this year, but

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 1>they've also allowed the seventh most passing yards this year. Brady,

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:57.960
<v Speaker 1>by the way, has twenty one career multiple passing touchdown

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 1>games against the Jets in his career twenty one UH.

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown gets an A stepped right back into relevancy

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.840
<v Speaker 1>last week with fifteen targets, ten catches a hundred and

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>one yards against Carolina. Marvin Jones and DeVante Parker have

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>both had good Fantasy days against the Jets in the

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. Both were target hogs for their respective teams,

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>which I think Brown would be again this week. So

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling that Brown's gonna Brown's gonna really take it

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to him because Mike Evans, I don't think he's gonna

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:31.719
<v Speaker 1>go um almost. He did clear COVID protocols, still dealing

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 1>with a hamstring injury, was only a limited participant in

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.200
<v Speaker 1>practice on Thursday, and Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Times reported that he looked fatigued catching passes from practice.

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 1>God quarterback Ryan Griffin if Evans is active, but you

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 1>have other options, I'd play them over Evans, but I'll

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 1>give him a C grade, but it's the lowest CE

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I can give. Though about that. Rob Gronkowski, I want

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to leave him on the bench, but I'm gonna give

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.399
<v Speaker 1>him a C grade. The Bucks have removed Gronk from

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the game plan once the game is out of reach

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of weeks, taking hits and mileage

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 1>off his body, kind of saving him for the playoff run.

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And last week's blowout win in Carolina, Gronk was only

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.320
<v Speaker 1>targeted twice, but he was still on the field for

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the snap, so they're just kind of have him run

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>out into the pasture and not get hurt. I see

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>him suiting up, I see him playing. The Jets are

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.200
<v Speaker 1>bottom twelve and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>tight end, so I will give him a SE grade.

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Zack Wilson on the other side, several members of the

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Bucks secondary looked like they're gonna miss this game, Sean Murphy, Bunting,

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Richard Sherman, Jamal Dean, and Antoine Winfield. But he's starting

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Zack Wilson in their championship game. He's had a stretch

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 1>of four decent games in the last five weeks, including

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:49.840
<v Speaker 1>four rushing touchdowns in there, But no, keep him on

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the bench and you're benching Jamison Crowder and Braxton Barrios

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>in a championship to also Michael Carter. He's on the bench,

0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:59.920
<v Speaker 1>his snapcounts and touch totals are back up. But tam

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 1>defense is just too tough against the run. They allow

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>an average of fifty two rushing yards and one third

0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of a rushing score per game. That's just not enough

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 1>for Michael Carter here. All right, let's get in the

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 1>door our final matchup of this segment, Broncos taking on

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers. Scott. It's a backup quarterback throwing to his

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:22.800
<v Speaker 1>number four or five and six wide receivers in this game,

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 1>so I assume the Broncos are gonna be looking really

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 1>just to run the ball. It's also a backup quarterback

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that only had a hundred and fifty three scoreless yards

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>last week. Yeah, the whole passing games on the bench.

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I have SEA grades on both Williams and Gordon. I

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 1>actually had a B grade on Williams before all these

0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver COVID issues. Now I just don't think they'll

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 1>be able to move the ball very well. So the

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 1>opportunities at the stripe. Why do I keep using stripe

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>for goal? You're very stripe heavy, tod. We're using a

0:38:50.160 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of nicknames and a lot of the stripe talk. Um,

0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to use stripe as a nickname. Wants. By

0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the way, I don't want you to get through this

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>to go well, Jamal stripe, Williams everybody's strip. Last week

0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>they both both both of these runners kind of killed you,

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>but Williams at least saved you with a little bit

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of a touchdown there. Uh. That was one of the

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>only games where they didn't both give you flexworthy numbers.

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they get back to it this week because

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the only part of their offense

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be able to function very well. Um.

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I I do have C grades on both because they

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 1>went back last week to splitting everything right down the middle. Snaps, touches,

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 1>basically everything. Uh. The Chargers have allowed the second most

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns of running backs on their way to be in

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the fifth easiest matchup against the position. But again, I

0:39:35.040 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think they'll move the ball very well. So C

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>grades on them. On the other side, I only have

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on Justin Herbert three hundred plus yards

0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and or multiple scores in all but two games. Uh.

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 1>He hit both those marks last time against Denver. But

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Denver on defense lately have held four straight quarterbacks to

0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 1>varying levels of under two yards and they only had

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:57.400
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns between those four quarterbacks. Is a better defense.

0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.520
<v Speaker 1>And I also think they'll get ahead and not need

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 1>to pass quite as much. So with Keenan Allen also

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on that because they don't think they'll

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 1>need to pass that much and Broncos sit top ten

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 1>against wide receivers on the season. Is gonna miss it.

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Alan had seven for eighty five last time. I can

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 1>see him running into an A grade, but I think

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he's safer placed as a B grade guy. They've allowed

0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy plus to five different guys who run from the slot.

0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's about where Allan probably ends up. Uh.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here, Let's go with Williams. C grade on Williams,

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.359
<v Speaker 1>but I don't blame me for want him to bench

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>him in your championship game because he had a really

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 1>bad middle of the season. But over the less five weeks.

0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>He had three good fantasy days. His bad ones are

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like four for thirty nine three forty nine in PPR.

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>That's like eight points. But that's not Yeah, but that

0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 1>was two of them. The other three were really good days.

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>So I have a C grade on him, but it

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>is risky. I wouldn't blame me for bention him. Austin Ekeler,

0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I have an A grade back on He seems healthy.

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 1>He's done interviews where he looks completely healthy. He's gonna

0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>get the interview, well, I hope. So he's the one

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that told everyone to start Justin Jackson last week. I

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 1>am I kind of no, No, he has he has

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 1>a Yahoo Fantasy Football show. Yeah no, but I think

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's funny to say that, right. He looks healthy in

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the interview. Yeah, I meant he's uh yeah. The ankles

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:30.799
<v Speaker 1>still he got. He got an extra week to heal

0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 1>up that ankle while he was out with COVID as well,

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's gonna help. Um, you're not gonna bench you,

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 1>guys number two of his position either. Bradley Chubb also

0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:40.279
<v Speaker 1>out for Denver in the middle of that core there

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 1>so decent spot that counts for something. Let's let's stay

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:46.160
<v Speaker 1>with those guys in our final moments that we've got in.

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 1>We've got maybe two more minutes, and in this segment, uh,

0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams draft position with and without Melvin Gordon on

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the team next year. I like the phrase it that

0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:00.799
<v Speaker 1>way because I think there's a decent chance they pull him,

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:03.120
<v Speaker 1>they keep him, they keep him. I think there's a

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>gens they keep them too. Which first, how much they

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>try to spend on a quarterback in the field, which

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:09.880
<v Speaker 1>is a big issue, right, you know, if they have

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to spend on a quarterback, they just spend a ton

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.919
<v Speaker 1>of money on all three of the receivers. So give

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 1>me the draft position for Javonte Williams. If Melvin Gordon's gone,

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the middle of the first round, late

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 1>first round kind of guy you stop five. I think

0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 1>he's number two, all right. If if Melvin Gordon is back,

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 1>then where does Javonte Williams go? Probably slips into the

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 1>second for me. I think I think someone on the

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:41.760
<v Speaker 1>back corner is gonna take him in the second around

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that corner just because they because they don't believe Melvin

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Gordon exists. It's the same thing as Kyle Pits this

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>last year. There's someone in near league that's going to

0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 1>be super hyped on Javonte Williams and hope for you know,

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Gordon to crash. But you know that's awfully early. I mean,

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:57.920
<v Speaker 1>do you take you're in the second round. You should

0:42:57.920 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>be taking a sure thing player, right, should be a

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 1>sure thing. Do your own. You're gambling that Melvin Gordon

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 1>gets hurt early in the season and stays hurt. If

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you're taking Javonte Williams in the second round, if they

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:12.719
<v Speaker 1>don't address the quarterback position, I don't think I want

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with that Broncos offense. Either. They need

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 1>they need to upgrade their else Javonte Williams is going

0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to be stuck. Don't let don't let our Minnesota listeners here.

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about Tenny Bridgewater that way. I wasn't talking

0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 1>about talking about all of them. Okay, all right, Uh,

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that's it's this. It's a trick you want to follow,

0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be one that's gonna be very interesting

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to see. My hope is that Melvin Gordon costs too

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 1>much for the Broncos and then he finds himself on

0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>some other team. That's got a little more money. He

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.040
<v Speaker 1>won't be super expensive, but it'll probably be like, you know,

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.919
<v Speaker 1>four or five million dollars, and that might be more

0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:50.479
<v Speaker 1>than the Broncos have an appetite. Four could be Maybe

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Melvin Gordon doesn't want to share backfield either. There were

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.800
<v Speaker 1>reports of that when when Philip Lindsay was there that

0:43:55.880 --> 0:43:58.160
<v Speaker 1>he didn't love sharing the backfield with the fan favorite

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 1>that was from that stage, that which would makes sense

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:04.759

<v Speaker 1>We always appreciate that we we care about what you think.

0:45:09.400 --> 0:45:11.839
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't sound like we care, but actually we really

0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>do care. This is a segment we like to call

0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>three tough Questions. Tough Question Number one, what is the

0:45:18.600 --> 0:45:23.959
<v Speaker 1>one offseason rule change that every league should consider? Matt,

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:27.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding about this. I had two really weird

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 1>dreams last night. The first one, I was at a

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:33.080
<v Speaker 1>butcher shop someone handed my son a suitcase full of

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars. But in the second one, I was

0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:42.480
<v Speaker 1>dreaming about this tough question, and I'm not kidding. My

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 1>answer in this was, the top five teams make the

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 1>playoffs in your league, then the remaining six seed those

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 1>teams all the teams in your league who are not

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. They get together and they play a

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.400
<v Speaker 1>game of Texas Hold Him Poker, and you get as

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.560
<v Speaker 1>many chips as the amount of points you scored for

0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the season. Now, that sounds fun, but don't think many

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.279
<v Speaker 1>leagues could handle that. So I will say, if you

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:06.359
<v Speaker 1>don't do any of the one following thing. Make one

0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of these changes, add a super flex two single quarterback leagues,

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:13.720
<v Speaker 1>do an auction instead of a draft, unlimited I R spots,

0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:18.319
<v Speaker 1>or use free agent blind bidding next year. Okay, Um,

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that was four or five answers, and well I stayed

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:23.440
<v Speaker 1>away from those because I feel like the free agent bidding,

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the don't do your championship the last week or just

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:29.440
<v Speaker 1>way too But I think that we in our leagues

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>have all gone to that way and it's way too

0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:34.120
<v Speaker 1>obvious for us. But I think the bulk of our

0:46:34.160 --> 0:46:37.160
<v Speaker 1>listeners probably aren't playing with all of those. By the way,

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the auction thing, uh still with you. I was talking

0:46:41.239 --> 0:46:43.520
<v Speaker 1>on I was talking on the Fantasy Prose podcast last

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:47.040
<v Speaker 1>week that people want fab blind bidding, they want they

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 1>love auctions over snakes. Yet so many people do their

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.920
<v Speaker 1>rookie drafts as snake drafts. That auctions grow a pair,

0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 1>grow up like it, become a big boy. Do your

0:46:56.600 --> 0:47:00.840
<v Speaker 1>rookie draft is a rookie auction. I love it. Give everybody,

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 1>give everybody a chance to swing and missing Trevor loris

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.759
<v Speaker 1>just like the worst team gets the most money. Still

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they got over twice Tony, but at least they can

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:11.120
<v Speaker 1>take shots at multiple guys if they want to, if

0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:13.080
<v Speaker 1>they What is the answer to the que anyone? Here?

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's where, Here's where I went. It's I went simple.

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Just add more flexes and reduce your required positions just

0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:21.359
<v Speaker 1>a tad, not too much because you you don't want

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.759
<v Speaker 1>to inhibit trading, but just a little bit to make

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:28.760
<v Speaker 1>more flexibility for roster construction in dealing with injuries and illnesses.

0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>More flexes, pull back the roster requirements a little bit. Um.

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys hit on several of my favorite mandatory rules,

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to touch on one. You guys did

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 1>not say no trade vetos. You've got trade veto in

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:44.759
<v Speaker 1>your league. Get rid of that albatross right now. That

0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is incredibly unfair and other teams have no business voting

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 1>whether or not sending team owners should make a deal.

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Get rid of that. People always say inclusion. I'm like,

0:47:57.080 --> 0:47:59.439
<v Speaker 1>that's a different issue. Deal with colusion. The commissioner deals

0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 1>with the inclusion. Lusian right. If you have collusion, that's

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 1>not even a trade veto situation. There's nothing to do

0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:08.920
<v Speaker 1>with trade. Don't even bring that up. Tough question Number

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>two give me the order of the first, that the

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:18.960
<v Speaker 1>first four tight ends should be drafted in next year.

0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Give me the order of the first, will well you want,

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:27.719
<v Speaker 1>I did give you will I want. I want to

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:30.000
<v Speaker 1>know what you should do. I was gonna say those

0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>are two very what you should do, Okay, So will

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:36.799
<v Speaker 1>do I put Kelsey Andrew's Kittle Pits because I think

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that's how it's gonna go down. What they should do, however,

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is Andrew's Kelsey Kittle pits. Al Right, so you're flipping him,

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you're if you're going Andrew's Kelsey Kittle. I like, I

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:54.040
<v Speaker 1>like Andrews a little more going for it. I think

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you could you could talk me into switching Pits and

0:48:56.880 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Kittle too, just like I think we saw Pits to

0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:03.880
<v Speaker 1>talk into anything, right, Yeah, this year? So pits one

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.960
<v Speaker 1>four this year. No, I'm saying, I think we've seen

0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>just about his floor. Um Hockinson and Waller that just

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they burned to make people to make concerns, and Knox

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and Firemouth. I love him, but that's getting a little

0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:21.080
<v Speaker 1>too cute. Man. Give me the order that the first

0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:25.799
<v Speaker 1>four tight ends should be drafted in next year. Uh, well,

0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I got Kelsey first. And because I can hear charge

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 1>saying next summer, do you know who has ever regretted

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:38.040
<v Speaker 1>taking Travis Kelsey? No? Yeah, ever Kelsey and Andrews? UM

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:43.000
<v Speaker 1>number two for will I had Andrews, But should I

0:49:43.080 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's kittle because on a per game basis, I

0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:48.120
<v Speaker 1>think he's the scariest tight end in the league. And

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 1>if you catch him on the year that he stays

0:49:50.120 --> 0:49:52.960
<v Speaker 1>healthy and puts it all together, then you've got Demo Samuel,

0:49:53.480 --> 0:49:56.759
<v Speaker 1>got Divo Samuel if he stays healthy. Number three who

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:00.239
<v Speaker 1>should be taken? Third is Mark Andrews because fantasy ball

0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is filled with sheep and we just follow the last

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 1>year's stats. Currently make Mark Andrews is the number one

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.920
<v Speaker 1>tight end, but it's all on those touchdowns and they

0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:13.960
<v Speaker 1>can be a little flukey. And then number four because

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we all are going to say that there's positive regression

0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:19.160
<v Speaker 1>coming on that one touchdown he scored this year and

0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's the top eight tight end and

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:25.480
<v Speaker 1>basically every scoring format with just that one score. Um,

0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I've still got Travis Kelsey number one. And I understand

0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the thinking about getting out a year too early than

0:50:30.560 --> 0:50:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a year too late. You know, I was thinking about

0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:35.120
<v Speaker 1>this when I wrote your quote, your quote that you

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:37.880
<v Speaker 1>always say who is regretted ever taking Travis Kelsey, no

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.719
<v Speaker 1>one that always happens the year that we should get

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.319
<v Speaker 1>out that guy. I swear to God it. The reason

0:50:44.400 --> 0:50:47.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sticking out one more year is because Patrick Mahomes. Yeah,

0:50:48.400 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and none of the rest of these guys have got

0:50:50.080 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks that are anywhere even in this ballpark. And let's

0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:55.680
<v Speaker 1>be flat out honest, we have eyeballs. Were watched him

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:58.120
<v Speaker 1>play like Kelsey, that hunter and for nine our game,

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the game when he looked like he looks fine, you

0:51:00.920 --> 0:51:04.680
<v Speaker 1>look fine. Mark Andrews is second eat no matter who

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback is. And I think there's a way better

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 1>chance than other people do that it's not Lamar Jackson.

0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Then George Kittle when healthy, used the league's best tight end,

0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and then Kyle Pitts third and targets six and receptions

0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:20.240
<v Speaker 1>third in yards. Touchdowns will come in time. So yeah, honestly,

0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:23.640
<v Speaker 1>your question confused me because I don't see an avenue

0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 1>for anyone but those four should have gone five deep. Yeah,

0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:29.719
<v Speaker 1>then I think I probably would have put Waller in next.

0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have put Hackinson, But I have no

0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:34.600
<v Speaker 1>problem with Waller, I would have gone Waller tough. Question

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:38.960
<v Speaker 1>number three. Next year's draft, it's the fourth round and

0:51:39.040 --> 0:51:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you need a wide receiver, and here's DK Metcalf available.

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Are you drafting him? Matt? We begin with you. Well,

0:51:46.880 --> 0:51:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it's Russell Wilson's worst season to date, and Metcalf still

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 1>ranks fourteenth and standard leagues and twenty one PPR leagues

0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:57.400
<v Speaker 1>amongst wide receivers. And if you're drafting properly or probably

0:51:57.520 --> 0:51:59.879
<v Speaker 1>drafting some safe guys in the first two to three rounds,

0:51:59.920 --> 0:52:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and then you start swinging for some upside in round

0:52:01.760 --> 0:52:04.880
<v Speaker 1>four and beyond, and Metcalf really has that wide receiver

0:52:05.080 --> 0:52:08.880
<v Speaker 1>one overall upside. If if he has someone throwing him

0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball, maybe Wilson's gone next year and there's a

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 1>new quarterback in town. Maybe Wilson's hand injury was actually

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing that tanked the season, and he's back to

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:18.440
<v Speaker 1>full health yet next year. So yes, I will take

0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:21.040
<v Speaker 1>him in the fourth Scott, are you taking It's the

0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:23.759
<v Speaker 1>fourth round, you need a wide receiver. DK metcalfs there,

0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 1>you're taking him. I think this is interesting because the

0:52:26.560 --> 0:52:29.680
<v Speaker 1>way I see it, I think Metcalf's here has been

0:52:29.760 --> 0:52:33.720
<v Speaker 1>so disappointing. I wouldn't be fault. I wouldn't be surprised

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.000
<v Speaker 1>if he slips further than the fourth round next year.

0:52:36.360 --> 0:52:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Last last year, in the fourth round, we saw guys

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like Higgins and or not Higgins, but like, uh ceedee

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Lamb and stuff. We're going in the flour the Robert

0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what like. Really productive players were going in and some people,

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:50.440
<v Speaker 1>based on people have told me on Twitter, not in

0:52:50.480 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 1>my league, but yeah, yeah, I got him in the

0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:53.839
<v Speaker 1>third most leagues, but he was going in the fourth.

0:52:53.880 --> 0:52:56.560
<v Speaker 1>In a lot of leagues, super productive guys are going

0:52:56.640 --> 0:52:59.440
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth round. I think DK slips further. I

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:01.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know that I love him because I think this

0:53:01.440 --> 0:53:03.840
<v Speaker 1>year it's gonna be guys like Higgins and Waddle and

0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:05.239
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that they go on the fourth and I

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:07.759
<v Speaker 1>probably rather have them. I'd rather have DK in like

0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:11.319
<v Speaker 1>the fifth or even Godwin with his injury, is gonna

0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>slip to the fourth or fifth round? Could be saying

0:53:14.760 --> 0:53:17.480
<v Speaker 1>probably not um. The answer. The correct answer is hell no.

0:53:18.600 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I want consistent production above all else, and this is

0:53:22.160 --> 0:53:23.919
<v Speaker 1>the opposite of what he's given us to his entire

0:53:23.960 --> 0:53:31.640
<v Speaker 1>current Yes, Chris Godwin is consistent production. That's what I want,

0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want a guy who's gonna disappear for

0:53:34.440 --> 0:53:38.279
<v Speaker 1>long stretches of seasons. This year, he has scored one

0:53:38.440 --> 0:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>time in the previous seven games. He hasn't topped sixty

0:53:41.880 --> 0:53:45.680
<v Speaker 1>yards since weeks seven. Last year, Dk Metcalf had almost

0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the exact same scoring drought, with one touchdown in six games.

0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>We have no idea whose quarterback is gonna be. That's

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:53.040
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be Russell Wilson. I don't think then it

0:53:53.080 --> 0:53:56.080
<v Speaker 1>probably anybody better than Russell Wilson. This is there. I

0:53:56.280 --> 0:53:58.640
<v Speaker 1>think they're much more likely to melt down this roster

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 1>than they are to try to find a quarterback improvement

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:05.480
<v Speaker 1>on Russell Wilson. So that's going backwards as well. And

0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:09.879
<v Speaker 1>at some point, it just doesn't matter how good your

0:54:09.920 --> 0:54:13.320
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver Lurked looks with his shirt off. That's just

0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:18.359
<v Speaker 1>not relevant. No, is the correct answer. I traded DK

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Mack for Javonte Williams this year in the league. Jeez,

0:54:23.480 --> 0:54:25.800
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be weird when Aaron Rodgers is a Seahawk

0:54:27.520 --> 0:54:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Eagles Sagan the Washington football team. Let's this will not

0:54:30.480 --> 0:54:33.640
<v Speaker 1>take very long. Let's start with Let's start and as

0:54:33.680 --> 0:54:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a reminder the duel take a chance on me of

0:54:36.640 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott and Jordan Howard from Scott Fish earlier in

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 1>this show Striper Stryper and Boston Market. That's right. They

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:49.960
<v Speaker 1>both have C grades for me in this game. If

0:54:50.040 --> 0:54:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Howard doesn't go elevate, Boston's got to a B grade

0:54:53.120 --> 0:54:57.080
<v Speaker 1>in this game. I think I'm running back if both

0:54:57.120 --> 0:54:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of them. If Howard doesn't go, oh, you have Scott

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:01.320
<v Speaker 1>up to twenty f Okay, that makes sense. Let's go

0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to the passing game Jalen Hurts. In the three games

0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>prior to last week, Washington had allowed to be very

0:55:07.080 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 1>modest per game average of two hundred fifty two passing

0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:12.879
<v Speaker 1>yards and half a passing touchdown. That's it. So they've

0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:14.840
<v Speaker 1>been playing well prior to last week when they obviously

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:17.440
<v Speaker 1>got totally blown up, but they were also decimated by COVID.

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:22.480
<v Speaker 1>That includes a two yard, one touchdown passing game for

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts in Week fifteen, just two weeks ago. He

0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:27.000
<v Speaker 1>ran for two touchdowns in that game. But now he's

0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>got the bulky ankle, and last week he only had

0:55:30.120 --> 0:55:33.839
<v Speaker 1>two rushes. So I don't know what if if Janale

0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Hurts is not gonna run for much of anything, and

0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I just have to rely on his arm. That is

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a super sketchy proposition now is his ankle should be

0:55:42.239 --> 0:55:44.600
<v Speaker 1>better one week later, so I think I'll have some

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of the mobility back. So I'm putting him into the

0:55:47.280 --> 0:55:53.400
<v Speaker 1>B range here, which is a little nebulous B him

0:55:53.440 --> 0:55:59.279
<v Speaker 1>giving him a B. The rages there is, there's a

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:04.719
<v Speaker 1>giant range. It's B from Jalen Burns. Dallas Goddard is

0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:08.640
<v Speaker 1>my preferred target of his. He destroyed Washington two weeks ago,

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:11.680
<v Speaker 1>um and although again they had a lot of COVID

0:56:11.760 --> 0:56:14.719
<v Speaker 1>at the time, but even so, Washington has yielded big

0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:17.800
<v Speaker 1>games to quality tight ends all year, including Dalton Sheltz

0:56:17.960 --> 0:56:21.080
<v Speaker 1>last week when bananas on him. Then DeVante Smith is

0:56:21.120 --> 0:56:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the only other receiver I think you want to consider here.

0:56:24.040 --> 0:56:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Over the last five games, again, COVID is marred some

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of that. The football teams allowed the second most yards

0:56:30.239 --> 0:56:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to wide receivers one nine per game, and they've given

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:36.080
<v Speaker 1>up five touchdowns to the position over those five games.

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:38.759
<v Speaker 1>During that same span, they have allowed four receivers at

0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:40.359
<v Speaker 1>top of eighty two yards or more. If it's gonna

0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:42.160
<v Speaker 1>be any wide receiver to top eighty two yards. Smith

0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:44.640
<v Speaker 1>is the only candidate for the Eagles. He comes in

0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:48.680
<v Speaker 1>with a C grade um on the Washington side. Antonio

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Gibson's out. We're not starting any part of this pass

0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of the passing game, including h Taylor, Heineke and Kyle

0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Allen as well, and regardless of who goes here, and

0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it might be a split quarterback scenario according to Ron Rivera, Okay,

0:57:05.200 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's never good. Can take Ron Rivera out of Carolina,

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:11.920
<v Speaker 1>but you can't take Carolina Rivera. It's a great point there.

0:57:12.160 --> 0:57:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Guys are on the bench, and so is Terry McLaurin.

0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:18.000
<v Speaker 1>In his last for Terry, in his last eight games,

0:57:18.800 --> 0:57:22.520
<v Speaker 1>eight games, it's half a season. He's top sixty yards. Once.

0:57:22.800 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with you on this. I think you dropped

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Terry McLaren sabotage the only one receivers posted more than

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:38.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty five yards against the Eagles in the last six games.

0:57:38.800 --> 0:57:42.240
<v Speaker 1>And in honor of the holidays, Terry McLaren is gonna

0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:46.720
<v Speaker 1>give the sleigh ride this week. Yeah, it's the sleigh ride.

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:49.640
<v Speaker 1>A brutal one on one matchup with Darius Slay. Pro

0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:53.479
<v Speaker 1>Football Focus is third ranked quarterback I love it. Let's

0:57:53.520 --> 0:57:57.800
<v Speaker 1>sabotage drop Terry McLaurin. Then the last guy to talk

0:57:57.800 --> 0:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>about is Jared Patterson. You're starting running back for Washington

0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:05.120
<v Speaker 1>um He is expected to start with Antonio Gibson sidelined

0:58:05.200 --> 0:58:09.080
<v Speaker 1>with COVID missing Eric Flowers from the offensive line, that's

0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 1>almost additioned by subtraction. Patterson has looked decent in spot

0:58:13.480 --> 0:58:15.640
<v Speaker 1>duty throughout the year. He did score a touchdown against

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.680
<v Speaker 1>these same Eagles two weeks ago. Washington's offensive line is

0:58:18.720 --> 0:58:21.480
<v Speaker 1>returning from COVID, which is good, and they are actually

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:24.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the best, one of the best run blocking

0:58:24.480 --> 0:58:28.360
<v Speaker 1>offensive lines in football when healthy. Unfortunately, the EGL Eagles

0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:31.640
<v Speaker 1>run defense is equally terrific, allowing the third fewest rushing

0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>yards over the last three weeks, just fifty five rushing

0:58:34.360 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>yards per game and three point one yards per carry.

0:58:37.520 --> 0:58:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That's it. J D. Mckissicks is sidelined on injured reserves,

0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:42.920
<v Speaker 1>so you might be tempted to think that Jared Patterson

0:58:42.960 --> 0:58:45.400
<v Speaker 1>will catch some passes, but he never catches any passes

0:58:45.480 --> 0:58:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and they will use when Dell Smallwood in that role instead.

0:58:48.840 --> 0:58:51.840
<v Speaker 1>So just the C grade on Jared Patterson, which should

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:57.280
<v Speaker 1>be decent volume, but in a tough matchup. Um, I

0:58:57.320 --> 0:58:59.120
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna hold off on the next matchup. I

0:58:59.200 --> 0:59:01.919
<v Speaker 1>was tempted to try to squeak it in, but let's

0:59:01.960 --> 0:59:05.200
<v Speaker 1>just we want to talk dolphins. Oh and a little

0:59:05.240 --> 0:59:07.480
<v Speaker 1>bit later. We gotta let that marinate. You really do,

0:59:07.760 --> 0:59:10.640
<v Speaker 1>because you're trying to figure out which dolphin running back

0:59:10.720 --> 0:59:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is gonna get is gonna get the work in any

0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:15.160
<v Speaker 1>given week does take a lot of temple rubbing. And

0:59:15.200 --> 0:59:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you this, this entire break to

0:59:17.160 --> 0:59:21.080
<v Speaker 1>rub temples. It's going to be not mine, your own,

0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:25.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, super people. Yeah, we look, you have

0:59:25.640 --> 0:59:28.280
<v Speaker 1>two temples on your head. You can use plural temples,

0:59:28.320 --> 0:59:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and your three of us could not rubbing temples. Then

0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll be back for more of this insanity in moments.

0:59:37.440 --> 0:59:52.959
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely our last show. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,

0:59:53.040 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Paul Charchi in Matt Harrison and Scott Fish with you.

0:59:57.000 --> 1:00:00.680
<v Speaker 1>There is copious amounts of temple rubbing happening in this

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>studio right now as Matt Harrison tries to help you

1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>figure out which dolphin is going to be the one

1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that you want to start this week, if any against

1:00:10.560 --> 1:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the Titans. What do you think, uh to Uh he

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>can start him? I guess, I mean I'm giving him

1:00:17.680 --> 1:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. Uh. He's not the biggest producer via

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the air, but going through the air is the way

1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to beat the Titans. Jimmy g was able to notch three,

1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>two and one last week. Mac Jones had three ten

1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and two a couple of weeks ago. Even Trevor Simeon

1:00:30.720 --> 1:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>was able to muster and two. The list goes on.

1:00:33.880 --> 1:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Mediocre quarterbacks have been able to cobble some good stats.

1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>So a C for two uh startable and super flex

1:00:39.880 --> 1:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>or two quarterback leaks. Jalen Waddle is an A and

1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Parker I mean Davante Carnival Parker was might take

1:00:47.360 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a chance on me, and he's seaworthy. Wattle has had

1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>eight or more catches in four of his last five games,

1:00:55.680 --> 1:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and Wattle has topped ninety yards in three straight games.

1:00:59.760 --> 1:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>While All spends about two thirds of his time in

1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the slot, where he'll square off against Elijah Molden. Molden

1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>has a passer rating of one oh eight in his

1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>coverage this year. Advantage Waddle Mike GASSICKI I have him

1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>squarely on the bench hasn't scored since week seven, hasn't

1:01:15.120 --> 1:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>topped fifty five yards since week seven, and the Titans

1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>are somewhat good ish against the tight end position, allowing

1:01:21.000 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>an average of four catches and thirty five yards to

1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the position. And then Duke Johnson is now splitting carries

1:01:27.880 --> 1:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>evenly with Miles Gascons. Both are on the bench. You

1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>just you see, you're copping out of this whole running

1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>back situation. I'm saying, just benjam all Well, Tennessee is

1:01:35.520 --> 1:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>also a really good run defense. So if it was

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>one of them, you could maybe trust them with a CE.

1:01:41.720 --> 1:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>But since it's both of them, they're both on the bench.

1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>All right. How about the Titans side? A J. Brown

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>gets an A. If you were ballsy enough to start

1:01:47.720 --> 1:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>him last Thursday, you're probably still alive in your fantasy championships.

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen targets, eleven catches and a score. Julio and Nick

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Westbrook Keen are on the COVID list currently. I think

1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Nick came off. Now, okay, that's good. I mean it's

1:02:03.560 --> 1:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>still pass funnel to A. J. Brown here. Dolphins are

1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>bottom ten and receptions and yards allowed to the wide

1:02:09.200 --> 1:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>receiver position. De Aonta foreman, Jeremy McNichols, and Dontrell Hilliard

1:02:14.600 --> 1:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>are basically in a three way hot hand time share,

1:02:18.200 --> 1:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and they're all on the bench because the Dolphins are

1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>great against the run. No running back has topped seventy

1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>three yards on the ground against Miami since Week four,

1:02:26.920 --> 1:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't allowed a running back touchdown through land,

1:02:30.320 --> 1:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>sea or air since Week six. Al Right, it's been

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and the Dolphins would be very good at

1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>sea defense, by the way, because but you would think,

1:02:41.560 --> 1:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you would think, so, how do we not? I got

1:02:43.720 --> 1:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>every other animal on. Come. I don't have a dolphin

1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>sound in here because I don't need one. I've got

1:02:49.360 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you excellent Matt Dolphins. Uh. And Ryan Tannehill can't be

1:02:54.840 --> 1:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>trusted and can't be started. He's topped two yards once

1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>in his last seven games. Just nothing, by the way,

1:03:02.640 --> 1:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I was starting to talk dolphin there for a little bit. Uh.

1:03:05.600 --> 1:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>In those seven games, he's thrown five touchdown passes total. Yeah,

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you're only in it for the rushing touchdown that you

1:03:12.320 --> 1:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>might get, which is so weird. Yes, No, you don't

1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>want to start him, all right, So you're done right?

1:03:17.400 --> 1:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to Texas taking the forty nine

1:03:19.440 --> 1:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Scott Rex Burke head breakout game last week. A lot

1:03:22.880 --> 1:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of work. Finally, Yeah, and so we you know, we've

1:03:25.320 --> 1:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>actually got a text in running back to talk about

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>he reaped this week against the forty you're talking about

1:03:30.120 --> 1:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>text Rex, I will say text I like it. Brandon

1:03:36.080 --> 1:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Cooks was out for that one, so that that may

1:03:38.160 --> 1:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>have helped a little bit. Uh. Yes, he did explode

1:03:41.920 --> 1:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>last week, but he's really owned the backfield for three

1:03:44.160 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>straight weeks right now. However, the four Niners d over

1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the last seven weeks have allowed only one back over

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>sixty yards and that was due to a sixty seven

1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>yard fake punt right. Otherwise none of them have done it.

1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>And there's some good running backs in that span. James Robinson,

1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>um mix in, Dalvin Cook, Corderyll No. Uh, but he's

1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a C grade here on sheer volume. But

1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>don't expect high level flex numbers. He's flex worthy because yes,

1:04:15.360 --> 1:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Davis Mills, I got a C grade on He's looked

1:04:17.440 --> 1:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. He's no, he's looked very good. If the

1:04:20.200 --> 1:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>half reheld today, Davis Mills would be in the same cluster.

1:04:25.000 --> 1:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>In the first half of the first round as these

1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>other guys were probably right now. Asked the Jets would

1:04:30.080 --> 1:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>they rather Zack Wilson or Davis Mills asked the Jaguars

1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>would they rather have They have to think about right,

1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>at least think about it right. I mean, it's it's

1:04:37.000 --> 1:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>not obvious answers to that. And and he's he's fighting

1:04:39.840 --> 1:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>for a job for next year. He wants he wants

1:04:41.560 --> 1:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to take take hold of this job for next year.

1:04:43.600 --> 1:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>So over the last five games, he's had three hundred

1:04:46.000 --> 1:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>plus yards and or multiple scores in four of them,

1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>which is pretty damn Goods have allowed multiple scores in

1:04:52.560 --> 1:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>three the last five, but they're not allowing a ton

1:04:55.080 --> 1:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>of passing yards. I think you can expect about forty

1:04:58.840 --> 1:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>day and a couple of scores. The game script should

1:05:01.840 --> 1:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>also be good here for Miles, they'll probably be behind.

1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I have c grade on Miles. Thought about making my

1:05:07.320 --> 1:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me player. I don't like him

1:05:09.320 --> 1:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>this week. Brandon Cooks was out last week with COVID,

1:05:13.400 --> 1:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>but before that he had seven plus catches in a

1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred plus yards and back to back the top targeted

1:05:18.520 --> 1:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>receiver against the forty nine has scored seven touchdowns in

1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the last five games, um, and I expect Brandon Cooks

1:05:25.840 --> 1:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a ten plus target guy. Yet again, all

1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of those guys against the foreigners had five plus catches

1:05:31.040 --> 1:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and sixty plus yards. I have a B grade on Cooks.

1:05:33.280 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>You could talk me into an A. On the other side,

1:05:37.200 --> 1:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance, was you gonna take a chance on me? Player?

1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I also really like him this week. I would have

1:05:43.640 --> 1:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I would have had a B plus grade on him

1:05:46.040 --> 1:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>if there were uh Deebo Samuels. I think he's an

1:05:52.000 --> 1:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>obvious A grade. He either gets it done through the

1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>air or the rushing. He has sixteen targets in the

1:05:56.360 --> 1:05:58.479
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks that has come back. We were worried

1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>about that for a little while charge his targets had disappeared.

1:06:01.800 --> 1:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>They're back. So A grade on Debot, A grade on Kiddle,

1:06:05.280 --> 1:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>which is just too obvious, like he'll be the best

1:06:07.760 --> 1:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end to face Houston, and even without that Gaseki

1:06:10.600 --> 1:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>knox Er, it's all had top five, like top five

1:06:13.520 --> 1:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>tight end weeks against the Houston Texans. Kittle in line

1:06:16.680 --> 1:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>for that there too. Brandon Auk I have a C

1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>grade on but I really kind of want to bench him.

1:06:22.000 --> 1:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>The second receiver has been about fifty yards each week

1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>against the Texans since Week eight, So I expect maybe

1:06:29.160 --> 1:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that's where you is gonna land. But I'm not super

1:06:31.920 --> 1:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>comfortable of it. You know what, I'm actually I'm gonna

1:06:34.040 --> 1:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>throw him on the bench. I I just yeah, he's

1:06:36.880 --> 1:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>averaging about four for fifty. He's probably gonna land in that.

1:06:39.680 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I can see either way. In the running game, this

1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>one's super easy for me. This week. Eli Mitchell is questionable.

1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>They think he's gonna go. If he goes, I have

1:06:49.880 --> 1:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on him because it's an awesome matchup

1:06:52.680 --> 1:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a bottom defense. But here are some of the concerns.

1:06:56.760 --> 1:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Talk that he's been limited in practice. Talks this week

1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>are about I'm splitting with Wilson and Trey Lance keeps

1:07:03.240 --> 1:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>stealing goal line touchdowns earlier in the season. I can

1:07:06.000 --> 1:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>see him doing it this week too. I'm a little

1:07:08.560 --> 1:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>worried for Mitchell not scoring on that front. However, let

1:07:11.840 --> 1:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>me jump in for a second. It seems like every

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>time Elijah Mitchell's active, he's the workhorse back exactly. And

1:07:17.800 --> 1:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, there isn't a there has not been a

1:07:19.680 --> 1:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>split carry backfield really in this offense all year. That's

1:07:22.920 --> 1:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>where I'm going with this. On the flip side, he

1:07:25.240 --> 1:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was injured and played a few weeks ago and got

1:07:28.080 --> 1:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven carries when he came into the game injured,

1:07:30.920 --> 1:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>So you're upside is a high A grade. But I'm

1:07:34.160 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>going to give him a BE just on the concerns.

1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think there's a good chance you get more

1:07:37.920 --> 1:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>than that. If he does go. He's inside my top

1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>ten this wee. I've I have Wilson with a C grade.

1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>If he goes, I think he's gonna get just enough work.

1:07:45.160 --> 1:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little hesitant. It's a really shaky sea if

1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell doesn't go. I have a B grade on Wilson

1:07:49.840 --> 1:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>because the matchup is just too good. Rams take on

1:07:53.160 --> 1:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens, and this is the same Ravens team that

1:07:56.080 --> 1:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>just gave up five hundred twenty five passing yards and

1:07:59.120 --> 1:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>four touchdowns or is five touchdowns at one point, but

1:08:01.480 --> 1:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>he got one of the touchdowns got called back. So

1:08:03.960 --> 1:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>that makes Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup obvious a's. But

1:08:06.240 --> 1:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm only gonna mention this about Cup to make it

1:08:08.840 --> 1:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>even better. The Ravens just got destroyed by slot receiver

1:08:12.400 --> 1:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Boyd, and here comes Cooper Cup. Who I think

1:08:15.280 --> 1:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>should be the league m v P this year. I mean,

1:08:17.360 --> 1:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I think with Brian not here, you can give the

1:08:20.040 --> 1:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>last Fantasy Fonzie of the year to Let's do it.

1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely love him. Hell of a season by Cooper Cup.

1:08:29.560 --> 1:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Where was this? And credit to you, Matt for this preseason.

1:08:32.600 --> 1:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>You love Cooper Cup and we all we all liked him, Matt.

1:08:35.640 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it was most vocal about it the last year.

1:08:38.439 --> 1:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I loved him. Last year was talking to them all up,

1:08:40.439 --> 1:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>but it was Jared Goff and then he got dinged

1:08:42.439 --> 1:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>up for Monch of the Year, so it didn't come

1:08:44.120 --> 1:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>together last year like I did this year. Anyway. Staying

1:08:46.439 --> 1:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>with the passing game, Van Jefferson Noo Beckam were both bees.

1:08:49.479 --> 1:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Neither has put up really consistent yardage, but they're helping

1:08:52.479 --> 1:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>with touchdowns, and I think they can get both yardage

1:08:54.760 --> 1:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and touchdowns in this game because the Ravens secondaries in

1:08:57.840 --> 1:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>such bad shape. They are allowing the fourth most yards

1:09:00.960 --> 1:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the third most touchdowns to whiteouts and there without Marlon Humphrey,

1:09:04.040 --> 1:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Peters and very possibly Anthony ever aver It also

1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>out for this game, so we like him to putting

1:09:10.120 --> 1:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Higbee on the bench he's getting very little use

1:09:12.439 --> 1:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>in The Ravens have largely reversed in early season struggles

1:09:15.680 --> 1:09:18.599
<v Speaker 1>against tight ends. Only two have scored since Week seven.

1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And then that brings us to Sony Michelle. Now at

1:09:21.720 --> 1:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>full health. The Ravens are very tough run defense. Only

1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook is top seventy one yards against Baltimore, and

1:09:29.160 --> 1:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>prior to COVID falling on the Ravens, they had gone

1:09:31.680 --> 1:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>six straight games without allowing a running back to score. Fortunately,

1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Sony Michelle's volume makes him a startable player anyway. Over

1:09:41.360 --> 1:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the past four weeks, he's average twenty three carries and

1:09:44.960 --> 1:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred six yards and half a touchdown per game.

1:09:48.040 --> 1:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Twenty three carries will be more carries and any back

1:09:50.240 --> 1:09:52.479
<v Speaker 1>has had against the Ravens all year, So I don't

1:09:52.479 --> 1:09:55.639
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna get that much. But just through sheer volume,

1:09:55.720 --> 1:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>he is startable and I've got a C grade on

1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Sony Michelle. Let's go over to Baltimore and we will

1:10:01.080 --> 1:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>begin with the desolate running back position. DeVonta Freeman's on

1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the bench in Your Your Championship week, diminishing snap counts

1:10:08.320 --> 1:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>in four straight games, just six rushes last week, although

1:10:11.680 --> 1:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>it was a blowout rams. Allowing the six fewest rushing

1:10:15.000 --> 1:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>yards and the second lowest yards per carry to opposing backs.

1:10:18.200 --> 1:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Do not start DeVonta Freeman. And this one, let's go

1:10:20.720 --> 1:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to the passing game. Doesn't look like Lamar Jackson is

1:10:23.160 --> 1:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to go, and even if he does,

1:10:24.840 --> 1:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>his mobility would be seriously affected by the foot injuries,

1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>So then you're relying just on his arm. And remember,

1:10:30.840 --> 1:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson has thrown exactly one touchdown in nine of

1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>twelve games this year. So that brings us to Tyler Huntley,

1:10:38.360 --> 1:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>who look good honestly to the point that I think

1:10:43.439 --> 1:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that resigning Lamar Jackson this next offseason is not a

1:10:47.160 --> 1:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>given for this team. I think I think Huntley has

1:10:50.000 --> 1:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>at least raised the question of whether or not you're

1:10:51.920 --> 1:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>putting you're better off organizationally of giving Huntley low end

1:10:55.920 --> 1:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>starting money versus giving Lamar Jackson top three quarterback, which

1:11:00.400 --> 1:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is probably what he would demand. Back Huntley in this game,

1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>um l A has allowed just one passing touchdown in

1:11:08.120 --> 1:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>their last four games, which is not good. And it's

1:11:10.880 --> 1:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>not like the quarterbacks they faced during that stretcher Chopp Liver.

1:11:13.520 --> 1:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins. That said,

1:11:19.200 --> 1:11:21.519
<v Speaker 1>the only true rushing quarterback the Rams have seen all

1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>year was Murray, and he ran. He ran average fifty

1:11:25.240 --> 1:11:27.479
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards across the two games in which they played,

1:11:27.520 --> 1:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and that could mode well for Huntly a year two.

1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty easy to envision a ground air combo that

1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>gets Huntley into like top ten quarterback territory. So I've

1:11:37.040 --> 1:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on him. Mark Andrews, We're gonna

1:11:39.360 --> 1:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>keep the A grade on because Huntley, Uh, what is

1:11:42.160 --> 1:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>that you like to use this word funnel? Today he's

1:11:44.760 --> 1:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>funneling to Mark Andrews. So we'll we'll, we'll keep the

1:11:48.040 --> 1:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>funnel alive with an A grade there, Mark Keiths Brown

1:11:50.840 --> 1:11:52.479
<v Speaker 1>slumps all the way down to a C grade. He's

1:11:52.520 --> 1:11:55.759
<v Speaker 1>now average fifty six scoreless yards in his last seven games,

1:11:56.040 --> 1:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>a brutal fall from grace for a guy who was

1:11:58.080 --> 1:12:00.439
<v Speaker 1>scorching hot in the first half of the season. He'll

1:12:00.479 --> 1:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>face a Ram secondary that surrendered eight scores two receivers

1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>all season, that is second fewest in the league, and

1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>of course, Jalen Ramsey likely going to be on Marquees

1:12:10.760 --> 1:12:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Brown for much of this game. Illness. Yeah, Brown has not, Yeah,

1:12:16.520 --> 1:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>so it could be another X factor here. So I've

1:12:18.800 --> 1:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>just got the C grade on Brown, but it's probably

1:12:21.360 --> 1:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>closer to a bench grade. But we'll give him a

1:12:24.640 --> 1:12:27.479
<v Speaker 1>SEA because we work in full letters around here. Our

1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>final matchup of the segment Cardinals taking on the Cowboys.

1:12:30.360 --> 1:12:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Matt Yeah, let's start with Kyler Murray, who peaked in October,

1:12:33.840 --> 1:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'm still giving him a B grade here. The

1:12:35.680 --> 1:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys have allowed the ninth most passing yards per game

1:12:38.880 --> 1:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>at two eight, and mobile quarterback quarterbacks have had some

1:12:42.880 --> 1:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>interesting days against Dallas. Taysom Hill add a hundred and

1:12:45.600 --> 1:12:48.599
<v Speaker 1>one rushing yards, Sam Donald scored twice in the ground.

1:12:48.680 --> 1:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts was able to run for only thirty five,

1:12:51.400 --> 1:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>but his threat of running allowed him to pass for

1:12:53.880 --> 1:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>three and two. James Conner hasn't practiced yet this week

1:12:58.479 --> 1:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with a heal injury, although Cliff Singsbury says he's a

1:13:00.920 --> 1:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>game time decision. I'd be shocked if he plays. Chase

1:13:04.360 --> 1:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Edmund should get another go as the workhorse, but the

1:13:08.040 --> 1:13:11.240
<v Speaker 1>horses back is hurting and Edmonds has been limited this

1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>week with a back injury, So I'll throw a C

1:13:13.640 --> 1:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>grade on Edmonds, that is, if James Conner doesn't go.

1:13:17.760 --> 1:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>As Dallas is a better than average defense against the run.

1:13:21.400 --> 1:13:24.599
<v Speaker 1>The bright spot they're allowing around five receptions per game

1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:27.479
<v Speaker 1>to opposing backs and a four point four yards per carry,

1:13:27.960 --> 1:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>so he should be able to cobble together like a

1:13:29.960 --> 1:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred combo yards if he's the lead back. And we

1:13:32.160 --> 1:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>saw Chase Edmunds get goal line work with James Conner

1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>out last week, and that's always the thing that has

1:13:37.160 --> 1:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>capped his upside no touchdowns. And if Connor is not

1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>going to go and Edmunds can get goal line work,

1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:47.879
<v Speaker 1>that gives him a much much higher threshold. Yeah, Christian

1:13:47.960 --> 1:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Kirk was charges take a chance on me wide receiver

1:13:50.280 --> 1:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and is the only Cardinals wide receiver I have a

1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>starting grade on. He gets a B for me. It's

1:13:54.479 --> 1:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>worth noting that DeAndre Hopkins is still out in ron Dale.

1:13:57.479 --> 1:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Moore has been limited with an ankle injury this week.

1:14:00.200 --> 1:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Zach Ertz has been the beneficiary of all the wide

1:14:03.479 --> 1:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver injuries, getting eleven and thirteen targets in the last

1:14:07.320 --> 1:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, averaging seven catches for sixty four yards in

1:14:10.320 --> 1:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>those two games. I'm only gonna throw a C grade

1:14:13.160 --> 1:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>on him, though, as j Ron Curse has been tasked

1:14:16.280 --> 1:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>with following the tight end for the most part and

1:14:19.080 --> 1:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Curses Pro Football focuses third highest graded player in tight

1:14:22.920 --> 1:14:27.719
<v Speaker 1>end coverage. Yeah, so only a SEA on zach Ertz.

1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>No didn't need him at all. Dak Prescott, he gets

1:14:31.000 --> 1:14:34.879
<v Speaker 1>an A grade. Uh. Noted quarterbacks Andy Dalton, Matthew Stafford,

1:14:34.960 --> 1:14:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff, and Carson Wentz each managed multiple passing scores

1:14:38.720 --> 1:14:41.599
<v Speaker 1>against the Cardinals in the last four games. That's all

1:14:41.680 --> 1:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>four of them in the last four games in the

1:14:44.200 --> 1:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>last four weeks. For the wide receivers of the Cowboys win,

1:14:47.439 --> 1:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>all three were healthy and on the field. Seedee Lamb

1:14:50.080 --> 1:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>averaging nine targets, six catches and sixty seven yards. Mary

1:14:53.360 --> 1:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Cooper six targets, four forty six Gallop seven targets, four

1:14:58.320 --> 1:15:02.799
<v Speaker 1>forty five. That's not really great. Lamb's averages are teetering

1:15:02.880 --> 1:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>on the good side, but Cooper and Gallop are eating

1:15:04.840 --> 1:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>each other's lunch. I'll give Lamb the A and sees

1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to both Cooper and Gallop in this one. The Cards

1:15:10.400 --> 1:15:13.559
<v Speaker 1>have allowed eight wide receiver touchdowns in the last four weeks,

1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>so there should be some scores to go around here,

1:15:16.560 --> 1:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Schultz gets a B grade. Eight catches and back

1:15:19.200 --> 1:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to back weeks touchdowns and back to back weeks. The

1:15:22.080 --> 1:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Cards look good on paper against the tight end, but

1:15:24.240 --> 1:15:28.479
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah Simmons has struggled recently against tight end coverage. Uh

1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>The Niners, Bears, and Panthers each targeted him eight times

1:15:32.479 --> 1:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in coverage, and he's allowed passer ratings of over ninety

1:15:35.040 --> 1:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and four of his last seven games. And then finally,

1:15:38.040 --> 1:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the running backs Zeke and Tony Pollo, this one's tough.

1:15:42.560 --> 1:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Zeke is seeing about six of the snaps. Hasn't seen

1:15:46.040 --> 1:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a twenty carry game since Week five, and that's unfortunate

1:15:50.600 --> 1:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>because the Cards have seen four straight runners get twenty

1:15:54.200 --> 1:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>or more carries, and three of those four top two

1:15:57.439 --> 1:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred total yards. Even Craig Reynolds went for one seventeen

1:16:00.800 --> 1:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>against Arizona. The Cards have allowed the fewest touchdowns to

1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the running back position this year, at only six total

1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>between rushing and receiving. So with that's split, I'm gonna

1:16:11.360 --> 1:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>give Zeke a B grade here. I'm going to keep

1:16:15.000 --> 1:16:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Pollard on the bench because Pollard would need a score

1:16:17.560 --> 1:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay relevant and he's not getting enough work. And

1:16:20.120 --> 1:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>with the cards not allowing touchdowns to opposing backs, that

1:16:22.600 --> 1:16:24.639
<v Speaker 1>seems like a tall order. Zeke's got the better chance

1:16:24.680 --> 1:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of punching one in. He's still averaging seventeen touches per game,

1:16:28.400 --> 1:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>so I think he gets more yards and the chance

1:16:30.840 --> 1:16:32.479
<v Speaker 1>to get a touch down here. So he just gets

1:16:32.520 --> 1:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the B grade. Yeah, that's uh, that's the backfield that

1:16:36.040 --> 1:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It has been very frustrating. I don't know if I'll

1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>drafted Dallas back next year. Probably not. It's gonna be

1:16:44.640 --> 1:16:47.599
<v Speaker 1>too tricky. Keep in mind Zeke's average draft position this year,

1:16:48.320 --> 1:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>five fifth spot of the first round. We were all

1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:58.559
<v Speaker 1>worn and everybody about, you know, our our final peak

1:16:58.600 --> 1:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>act of the year. We've you know, we warned, we

1:17:01.400 --> 1:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>warned our listeners against that when we came back. Final

1:17:04.200 --> 1:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>segment of the year, and that includes the ice ball

1:17:09.280 --> 1:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>brewin with the Vikings and the Packers. Lots of intrigue

1:17:13.360 --> 1:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>and this one, especially on the Packers side, what to

1:17:16.280 --> 1:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>do with a bunch of players that are going to

1:17:17.800 --> 1:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>have to try to put up some points in miserable conditions.

1:17:21.360 --> 1:17:25.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about how safe Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, the receivers,

1:17:25.560 --> 1:17:28.439
<v Speaker 1>the running backs, particularly on the Packers side are when

1:17:28.479 --> 1:17:31.599
<v Speaker 1>we come back for the final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly,

1:17:43.080 --> 1:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>final segment of the year for Fantasy Football Weekly, it's

1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a championship edition. We do encourage you to subscribe. You

1:17:49.040 --> 1:17:52.120

1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>just not in the two hour long format. We do

1:17:54.479 --> 1:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>continue into the off season as well. Fantasy Football Weekly

1:17:58.280 --> 1:18:00.880
<v Speaker 1>final three sets of matchups again with Scott Fish and

1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the Lions taking on the Seahawks. Yeah. So most of

1:18:04.120 --> 1:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the passing game here is on the bench, with Tim

1:18:05.920 --> 1:18:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Boyle being the starter over Jared Goff. Uh, but I

1:18:10.479 --> 1:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>do have a B grade. I'm on on, I'm on

1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:16.519
<v Speaker 1>ros st Brown, my boy, I love that guy nickname.

1:18:16.640 --> 1:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's the downside. Alman ra with with DeAndre Swift

1:18:20.880 --> 1:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>in the game averages three and a half catches in

1:18:23.120 --> 1:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty two yards. And he did not score in any

1:18:25.760 --> 1:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>of those games. But that was with Hawkinson and that

1:18:28.320 --> 1:18:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was a bunch of the other receivers. Reynolds and Raymond

1:18:31.520 --> 1:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>are on COVID, they're out. Alman Roth is gonna be

1:18:34.080 --> 1:18:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the only receiver and and they just talked lowingly about him.

1:18:37.360 --> 1:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>He's got ten plus ten plus targets in three straight

1:18:41.000 --> 1:18:43.160
<v Speaker 1>um and he's had a natural progression. I think he

1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>gets another ten plus target game here. I got a

1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:50.320
<v Speaker 1>B grade on him. DeAndre Swift practiced all week in

1:18:50.640 --> 1:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>full Dan Campbell said he's completely ready to go and

1:18:53.880 --> 1:18:57.320
<v Speaker 1>take on the full workload. I have Jamal Williams on

1:18:57.360 --> 1:18:59.439
<v Speaker 1>the bench because of this now, and I think he

1:18:59.560 --> 1:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>goes right back to his pre injury seventeen plus touches

1:19:03.320 --> 1:19:05.439
<v Speaker 1>that he had an eight straight games before the injury.

1:19:05.760 --> 1:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>And remember before that injury he had like a hundred

1:19:08.160 --> 1:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty yards and two straight or whatever. I think he

1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>goes straight back to that. Against the Seahawks defense that

1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>ranked second easiest against running backs, Swift is a great

1:19:18.160 --> 1:19:21.879
<v Speaker 1>pass catchers. Seahawks are allowing the most receptions and receiving

1:19:21.960 --> 1:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>yards two running backs. What a week to get him

1:19:24.720 --> 1:19:26.640
<v Speaker 1>back for your championship. I have an A grade on him.

1:19:27.439 --> 1:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, Russell Wilson, I have C grade.

1:19:30.520 --> 1:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the back half of the season, so you know

1:19:32.400 --> 1:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna ry as well. Never does. Lions are

1:19:35.760 --> 1:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>top ten against quarterbacks on the year, but over the

1:19:38.240 --> 1:19:43.759
<v Speaker 1>last eight weeks they've been better nine passing touchdowns starting

1:19:43.800 --> 1:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>grade here. Here's why they're averaging. They're averaging allowing about

1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:51.720
<v Speaker 1>two hundred sixty yards per game. I think Wilson's better

1:19:51.800 --> 1:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>than the quarterbacks they faced in that stretch. That could

1:19:54.920 --> 1:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>be argued, I guess because he doesn't. I think he's

1:19:57.160 --> 1:19:59.760
<v Speaker 1>giving that two fifty yards one to two touchdown range.

1:19:59.760 --> 1:20:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that's pretty close to see whethy Um Tyler

1:20:03.760 --> 1:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Lockett B grade. He's combined for eleven catches in the

1:20:07.640 --> 1:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. Uh, he played a lot, but he's

1:20:10.960 --> 1:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>coming off the COVID list. He was really fatigued. He

1:20:14.080 --> 1:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>should be up for a better game here Um nine

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>yards and or a score for four straight weeks for

1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the lead receiver against the Lions. I think that's about

1:20:24.600 --> 1:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>where Lockett gets. I have a C grade on Metcalfe.

1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't love it, but he's been a forty to

1:20:30.000 --> 1:20:32.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty yard guy. That's how the second receiver usually does

1:20:33.000 --> 1:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>against the Lions. I put him in the four to

1:20:35.200 --> 1:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>five catches forty to sixty yard range. Hopefully he can

1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>get a touchdown. Rashop Penny I toyed with an A

1:20:40.920 --> 1:20:43.120
<v Speaker 1>grade here, but I didn't. I gave him a B

1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>grade every game where rashot Penny has had at least

1:20:46.000 --> 1:20:49.439
<v Speaker 1>fourteen touches. He's topped a hundred yards in his career

1:20:49.640 --> 1:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and scored. Yeah, it's only four games, but he scored

1:20:53.960 --> 1:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>six times in those. I think he gets fourteen touches here.

1:20:57.439 --> 1:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And this Lions defense is one of the worst than

1:20:59.720 --> 1:21:04.479
<v Speaker 1>the lead their boom against a running I think Penny

1:21:04.560 --> 1:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>feats on bad run defenses and he's been stuffed against

1:21:07.280 --> 1:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the good ones. Yes, I think it's that simple lines

1:21:09.200 --> 1:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>are bad. All right, that's it for that matchup. Uh,

1:21:12.160 --> 1:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb is an obviously grade against one of the

1:21:14.400 --> 1:21:19.920
<v Speaker 1>worst defenses in the league, right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Um.

1:21:20.760 --> 1:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Chubb best part of the Brown's offense against Green Bay

1:21:23.120 --> 1:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>last week twenty touches total yards in a score. The

1:21:26.200 --> 1:21:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Browns still control their playoff destiny despite sitting in last

1:21:29.560 --> 1:21:31.880
<v Speaker 1>place in the f C North right now, so they're

1:21:31.880 --> 1:21:33.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna lean on Chubb to try to get them a

1:21:33.479 --> 1:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Division crown. Five running backs have seen twenty or more

1:21:36.280 --> 1:21:39.479
<v Speaker 1>touches against the Steelers this year. The average line for

1:21:39.560 --> 1:21:43.680
<v Speaker 1>those backs one fifty total yards and his score the

1:21:43.760 --> 1:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>passing game. It's tricky for the Browns. Baker Mayfield, he's

1:21:47.200 --> 1:21:49.360
<v Speaker 1>on the bench walking it watching him on Christmas Day,

1:21:49.400 --> 1:21:51.519
<v Speaker 1>one thing is certain. He's not healthy and not a

1:21:51.560 --> 1:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>good player right now. You can't play DPJ either, as

1:21:55.240 --> 1:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>he's reliant on the big plays and Baker's arm strength

1:21:58.080 --> 1:22:00.560
<v Speaker 1>just isn't there right now. Jarvis land Tree gets the

1:22:00.600 --> 1:22:04.519
<v Speaker 1>only starting grade. It's a lower case see averaging eight

1:22:04.640 --> 1:22:07.120
<v Speaker 1>targets per game over the last month. It's more of

1:22:07.160 --> 1:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a volume play here. He has had at least five

1:22:09.840 --> 1:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>receptions in three straight matchups with the Steelers, and I

1:22:12.880 --> 1:22:16.479
<v Speaker 1>do love his matchup against slot corner Arthur Malla, who

1:22:16.560 --> 1:22:21.840
<v Speaker 1>is Pro Football focuses on six ranked quarterback Naja Harris

1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.519
<v Speaker 1>gets a B. He's as reliable as they come for

1:22:24.640 --> 1:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>touch totals, seeing twenty or more touches in twelve of

1:22:27.080 --> 1:22:30.120
<v Speaker 1>his last fourteen games. In the first meeting with the Browns,

1:22:30.120 --> 1:22:32.120
<v Speaker 1>he managed a hundred and twenty total yards in a

1:22:32.200 --> 1:22:35.559
<v Speaker 1>score on twenty nine total touches. And it's worth noting

1:22:35.640 --> 1:22:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that three members of the Browns front seven Miles Garrett,

1:22:38.920 --> 1:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Malik Jackson and Jeremiah Ooosu Coamoa, they're all dealing with

1:22:43.320 --> 1:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>some nagging injuries and if active, they might not be

1:22:46.120 --> 1:22:49.839
<v Speaker 1>as effective The only other starting grade is Deonte Johnson.

1:22:50.040 --> 1:22:53.719
<v Speaker 1>He's been very reliable for targets uh with double digits

1:22:53.800 --> 1:22:56.479
<v Speaker 1>in that category in ten of fourteen games this year

1:22:56.840 --> 1:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and at least five receptions in every game but one.

1:22:59.720 --> 1:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>He'll get Greedy Williams for the most part. Greedy has

1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:05.439
<v Speaker 1>been roasted twice in the last three weeks with passer

1:23:05.520 --> 1:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>ratings over a hundred against Baltimore and Green Bay. He

1:23:09.479 --> 1:23:13.120
<v Speaker 1>tallied yards on six catches in the first matchup. That's

1:23:13.200 --> 1:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis Landry, so I'll give him a B grade as well.

1:23:16.320 --> 1:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Pat Friarmouth still struggling to come back from the second

1:23:18.880 --> 1:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>concussion in three weeks. I'm nervous. I don't know if

1:23:21.240 --> 1:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>he'll go in this one. Claypool, Roethlisberger, everyone else in

1:23:24.680 --> 1:23:26.799
<v Speaker 1>the passing game there on the bench, you know, without

1:23:27.040 --> 1:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>friar Mouth, it really takes the touchdowns out of the

1:23:30.280 --> 1:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>passing game for Ben Roethlisberger, who had been really improved

1:23:33.640 --> 1:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>in that area because of friar Mouths in the second

1:23:36.240 --> 1:23:38.360
<v Speaker 1>half of the season, and then as soon as friar

1:23:38.360 --> 1:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Mouth got hurt, they've dried up again. Absolutely. Yeah, So

1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's been unfortunate, alright, so that was the Monday nighter.

1:23:44.040 --> 1:23:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Backing up to the the Sunday nighter is this arctic

1:23:47.640 --> 1:23:51.400
<v Speaker 1>game at lambeau Field against the Vikings and the Packers.

1:23:51.560 --> 1:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>The game time tempts are around four degrees and then

1:23:55.439 --> 1:23:57.519
<v Speaker 1>it's just gonna get colder as the game goes on.

1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Because it's a night game, wind chills are expected to

1:24:00.080 --> 1:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>be around negative fifteen for this one. This means the

1:24:04.080 --> 1:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>running game probably gets emphasized for both teams. And get

1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this thanks to stat head Um, the average passing game

1:24:12.760 --> 1:24:17.599
<v Speaker 1>in single single digit temperatures over the last eight years

1:24:18.800 --> 1:24:25.080
<v Speaker 1>is sixteen completions, one hundred sixty yards and zero point

1:24:25.160 --> 1:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns. It would be the high water mark for

1:24:27.840 --> 1:24:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Seaun Mannion in this Yes, it would a is a

1:24:30.360 --> 1:24:32.799
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, Sean Mannion just started for the Vikings.

1:24:32.880 --> 1:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>He has never thrown a touchdown pass. He has two

1:24:35.760 --> 1:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>career starts, granted they were both week seventeens, with other

1:24:39.880 --> 1:24:46.960
<v Speaker 1>backups around on every other year every Yeah. So um,

1:24:47.120 --> 1:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't like any part of the passing game except

1:24:49.360 --> 1:24:53.439
<v Speaker 1>justin Jefferson. I had numbered A seventeen by I had

1:24:53.560 --> 1:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>downgraded Jefferson from an A to a B just on

1:24:57.280 --> 1:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>the weather and knowing passing games due Now I'm downgrading

1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in from a B to a C on Sean Mannion

1:25:03.200 --> 1:25:06.439
<v Speaker 1>because I I, you know, I just don't think Sean

1:25:06.479 --> 1:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Manion is very good and it's not breaking news and

1:25:09.560 --> 1:25:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that and I believe that the the the Packers will

1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>scheme to stop Jefferson now they have, they do throw

1:25:16.000 --> 1:25:17.519
<v Speaker 1>to him a ton or they have at least they

1:25:17.520 --> 1:25:20.200
<v Speaker 1>were with kirk thirteen targets per game over the last month.

1:25:20.640 --> 1:25:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Green Bays allowed six receivers to post at least seventy

1:25:23.720 --> 1:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>five yards over the last month of games. But I

1:25:27.840 --> 1:25:30.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I mean, I'm nervous. It's justin Jefferson, He's great.

1:25:31.040 --> 1:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you still start him because he kind of

1:25:33.200 --> 1:25:37.679
<v Speaker 1>has to. But ah, this is a tough spot. Dalvin Cook.

1:25:38.360 --> 1:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade on him. The Packers are

1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:43.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna sell out to stop Dalvin Cook at all costs

1:25:43.600 --> 1:25:47.519
<v Speaker 1>and make Sewan Mannion beat them. The Packers normally see

1:25:47.600 --> 1:25:50.839
<v Speaker 1>the third fewest rushing attempts here, but it's Mike Zimmer

1:25:51.240 --> 1:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and Cook's got a great history against the Packers, but

1:25:53.800 --> 1:25:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that was with kirk Um and so Cook averaging twenty

1:25:58.479 --> 1:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>six touches per game in his full games. If he's

1:26:02.439 --> 1:26:04.439
<v Speaker 1>at twenty six, you still have to play him because

1:26:04.520 --> 1:26:07.160
<v Speaker 1>enough good things can happen just to be great on

1:26:07.240 --> 1:26:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook and what should be a one sided game.

1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to the other side. We think.

1:26:11.120 --> 1:26:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I think this thing is a thornier and a little

1:26:13.160 --> 1:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>bit trickier to deal with. So here's how I see

1:26:16.720 --> 1:26:20.120
<v Speaker 1>this game going. Packers are going to get ahead because

1:26:20.160 --> 1:26:22.640
<v Speaker 1>they're the better team. The Vikings are gonna have a

1:26:22.760 --> 1:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>punchless offense with Sean Mannion, and then the Packers will

1:26:27.320 --> 1:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>just run on a cold field and not even have

1:26:31.080 --> 1:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to worry. We talked about how how all passing games get.

1:26:34.000 --> 1:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>This is a point when you get to single digit degrees,

1:26:36.479 --> 1:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>like four degrees, the passing game just doesn't come together

1:26:40.160 --> 1:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>almost always. So I've got Aaron Rodgers with a B

1:26:44.520 --> 1:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>grade in this one. He's thrown three or four touchdowns

1:26:47.760 --> 1:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and three straight games against Minnesota in Minnesota Secondary. He's

1:26:51.040 --> 1:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>ill equipped to deal with Davante Adams, who remains an

1:26:53.240 --> 1:26:56.880
<v Speaker 1>A grade even in spite of everything else. Um, I

1:26:56.960 --> 1:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>think you have to decide for yourself and just how

1:26:58.760 --> 1:27:01.360
<v Speaker 1>much you think the passing is going to be affected

1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>by the weather in this one. I'm keeping a B

1:27:03.520 --> 1:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>grade on Aaron Rodgers. Most of you will continue to

1:27:05.840 --> 1:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>start because you're not gonna have a better option, But

1:27:08.240 --> 1:27:10.600
<v Speaker 1>just know this, there's a point where it gets so

1:27:10.960 --> 1:27:16.439
<v Speaker 1>cold that the passing games almost always get affected. Um.

1:27:16.520 --> 1:27:19.479
<v Speaker 1>The other receivers I had starting grades on markis Felt,

1:27:19.479 --> 1:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the Scantling and Alan Lazard before the weather crystallized here. Um,

1:27:23.040 --> 1:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm worried about the running game taking over, but

1:27:24.960 --> 1:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>they've got great matchups and if you if you need

1:27:27.160 --> 1:27:32.320
<v Speaker 1>desperation dart throws, consider Scantling, especially. The Vikings have really

1:27:32.360 --> 1:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>struggled against him in particular in the past, and he's

1:27:35.240 --> 1:27:38.599
<v Speaker 1>their deep yardage, big play guy. So if you are

1:27:38.800 --> 1:27:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a twenty point underdog Marcus Velda, Scantling could make some

1:27:43.240 --> 1:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>sense even in the arctic conditions. By the way, the

1:27:46.400 --> 1:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>line in the game went from six and a half

1:27:48.600 --> 1:27:52.519
<v Speaker 1>to thirteen and a half. Yeah, amazing, right, and just yeah,

1:27:52.680 --> 1:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know that's what Kirk does. Oh yeah, seven

1:27:56.479 --> 1:27:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and a half point. Apparently he is or seven and

1:27:58.360 --> 1:28:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a half points. Okay, so don't stop about running backs.

1:28:01.360 --> 1:28:03.760
<v Speaker 1>So Aaron Jones has still got a bulky need Um,

1:28:04.080 --> 1:28:07.599
<v Speaker 1>but we've seen his his rushing increase week over week.

1:28:08.120 --> 1:28:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I worry that they're going to on a frozen field,

1:28:10.520 --> 1:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>bad need They're gonna turn to quad Zilla, just like

1:28:14.320 --> 1:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>they did in that cold snow game last year in

1:28:17.320 --> 1:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>late December when he got almost all the work. I've

1:28:19.920 --> 1:28:21.680
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on a J. Dillon and a

1:28:21.760 --> 1:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Aaron Jones. I think you should call

1:28:24.120 --> 1:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>six touchdowns for a J. Dillon, just like against the

1:28:27.160 --> 1:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Vikings UH at this time last year. Um, So there

1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you go. Last thing, I want to mention my fantastic
