Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: advice Leagues dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my co host

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: today are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, what's

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: going on? Charge? It is a weird, weird week. Um,

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: we've had lots of COVID cases that have affected a

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: lot of things, including a Tuesday game against the Steelers

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: and Ravens that we don't know if that game is

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: going to be played, although if history is any indication here,

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: the league is going to do everything possible to play

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: this game, and I do I believe it's going to happen,

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: but it's it's creates a conundrum for a lot of

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: fantasy owners who are going to have to make decisions

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: for those early Sunday kickoff games to start and not

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: not knowing for sure if that Tuesday game is going

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to go. If you have if you can make a

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: lateral move or an almost lateral move by taking players

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: from that game out and starting anyone else, you've just

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: got to do it. In my opinion, We'll have some

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: good pivots for you during the show, but the really

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the tough ones of the Pittsburgh Wide receivers, right the

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Wide receivers are the biggest brought those correct, Those

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: are the guys that were ranked the highest and and

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: those are the toughest ones to play right now. Um,

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, again, we've talked about this in show's past.

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: For your friends and family leagues, for the majority of you, uh,

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: the best thing is to have a conditional selection that

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: you can make for another player who plays on Sunday

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: and use that player in the event that your Steelers

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: don't go use a conditional player who talked about it before.

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: If that's not available for you for whatever reason, then

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: to me, anybody who gets an A B grade I

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: would definitely play over Ravens and Steelers and maybe even

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: in some cases players who we give a C grate

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: over the course of this show over Steelers and Ravens. Yeah,

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: even even with the great I think that I'm probably

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: with you charge I I think it's getting played. I

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: still got most of them out of my lineups just

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: in case at this point if I have close enough,

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, comparables. Yeah right, Um, Brian, Let's go to

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: our first matchup, which is Las Vegas taking on Atlanta.

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: And for Las Vegas and Josh Jacobs, there's a little

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: bit of a trickier matchup than it seems because Atlanta

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: is a sneaky good run defense. Yeah after being like

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: a bull's eye match up for five years at NACE.

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I'm just giving Josh Jacobs a B here.

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Just what looked like Jacob was gonna was gonna lose

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: significant carries at DeVante Booker last week. He dominates at

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: category SEV five. He should do the same against Atlanta.

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: But again, there's no slouch against the run. Leave allowed

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: just four rushing touchdowns to running backs this year. No

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: back has topped ninety rushing yards against Atlanta, which is insane.

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: And Atlanta has yielded the fourth most cares to running

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: backs in gold the ghost scenarios and Josh J. Gibbs

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: is a beast to say the least. So you're still

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna start with a B. And uh and again I'm

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: like years past, like running backs would catch like ten

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: catches minimum. The game against Atlanta has uh, well it

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because Alec Ingle had more targets than Josh

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Jacobs and DeVante Booker last week combined. They don't. They

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: just talk about throwing to Josh Jacobs is not There's

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: no receiving angle for Jacobs when he still gets the b.

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: There is a receiving angle for Darren Waller. He gets

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: definitely gets an A. Has scored in four of his

67
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: last six and here comes the Falcons who have allowed

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: the fourth most reception, second most yards, and the most

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns two tight ends, So an A for Waller. Nelson

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: agil are gonna give him a C. He's had three

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: games with four and more catches all year, four or

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: five and six for the catch totals. But he scored

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: in each of those games and racked up two nine

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: yards in those three games. So if he gets the ball,

75
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: things happen. He has six touchdowns on the year two.

76
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's like a lot more than like

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: most of the top twenty preseason wide receivers right now,

78
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: So I'm giving a la ce. Atlanta's top seven in

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: most targets and yards allowed to wide receivers and third

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: in yards allowed to the position. So see for alar

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and a B for Derek Carr. Nineteen passing touchdowns to

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: only three interceptions. That's crazy impressive. That's like m v

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: P caliber numbers there. And he's been very fantasy friendly

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: to at least two passing touchdowns and seven of his

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: last nine games and the one one of the games

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: he fell short in. One of the two was the

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: monsoon game in Cleveland, which we always a reference. It

88
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: seems like every we always gotta go back to break.

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't a game, it was more like a season,

90
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: a monsoon season in Cleveland for a month. And Atlanta

91
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: has allowed the second most passing touchdowns and passing touch

92
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: and passing yards. So a B for car over to

93
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the Atlanta side. We'll start with Julio Jones. Sounds like

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: you'll play with the hamstring injured. Yeah, and if he does,

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: will he be the decoy? So just to see if

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: he suits up. Las Vegas is allowing one and seventy

97
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: seven yards per game to opposing wide receivers. That is

98
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: tenth most, and they have allowed of receivers to top

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and score a touchdown in three of

100
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: the last five games. But if one Falcons receiver is

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna do that, It's more than likely gonna be Calvin Ridley,

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: who gets the A has posted at least ninety yards

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: already touchdown in every game he has started and finished

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: this year, and his two healthy starts without Julio Ridley

105
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: total twenty three targets an average on twenty three yards.

106
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: He has a favorable matchup against Trayvon Mullen, who is

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: allowing a passer rating of one on nine in his

108
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: coverage and has given up four touchdowns. So in a

109
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: for Ridley Hayden Hurst just to see here coming off

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the Goose egg Yeah, he's banged up, but he should play.

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: Raiders allow roughly five catches and fifty two yards per

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: game to tight ends. Hurst averages four catches in forty

113
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: one yards per game. That's with the with the Goose eggs.

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: So in the tight end waste land. I'll give him

115
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: a sea here, but monitor of status. Like Scott said,

116
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: he is a little banged up and Matt Ryan to

117
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: another guy he really can't trust, and give him a

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: seat uh the Raiders outside of the take out the

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Raiders Monsoon game in Cleveland, though in Las Vegas has

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: allowed three twenty one passing yards and two point two

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game him over the last seven weeks, Atlanta

122
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: throws the ball fourth most in the league. Julio's health

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: is obviously huge for Ryan, but even if Julio sits,

124
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: you still give him a c. But you can look

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: elsewhere in one quarterback leagues and Todd Gurley has been

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: ruled out. I was gonna give him a ce as

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: bad as he has been, but Brian Hill now draws

128
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: the start. Everyone's clamoring for the waiver wire already, probably

129
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: before they even heard this, so I'll give him a

130
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: CEE even though it's a bad matchup. Since Week four,

131
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: no opposing back has top seventy rushing yards against the Raiders,

132
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: but they have surrendered the second most touchdowns to running

133
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: backs this year, so how many punches in? That was

134
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: definitely the hope of Todd Gurley, because that's all that's

135
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: too though. Yeah, the thirdteen goal line carries for Gurley,

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: which is third most, and he converted six of him,

137
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: so he was good at the goal line. That was

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: the one place so you could count on Todd Gurley.

139
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't in a yards per carry format where

140
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: he's like three and a half yards per carry on

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: the season. It's been terrible. Arizona takes on New England

142
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Scott last week we saw the shoulder injury for Kyler

143
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: Murray and we got his first sort of middling production game.

144
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: And now he's got a tricky but not impossible matchup

145
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: with New England. What do you think? Right? And he

146
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: came off on Friday. He came off the injury report,

147
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: so completely clear, finding clear. Now it's still it still

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: might affect him a little, but I still have an A.

149
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: He was still an A start, even middling, so I

150
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: still have an A grade on him. He has multiple

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns in let's see every single game this year. Uh,

152
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: he's averaging over three per game in his last five.

153
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: He only has four games this entire year under sixty

154
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: yards rushing. That's like an extra touchdown right there, just

155
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: added in rushing. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins A grade. I don't

156
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: care that he's going to get stuff on Gilmore, who's

157
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: sue has been you know, he's probably Yeah, he's banged up,

158
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: so if he plays, but remember when Belichick used to

159
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: take away your best option anymore. Metcalfe a touch lock

160
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: at sixty seven in touch dig six two both Fuller

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: and Cook's over eighty yards. I meant and all those

162
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: games because those are games Gilmore played in so interesting

163
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: um only and in the last two weeks he's allowed

164
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred thirty yards to wide receivers, So I

165
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: think Hopkins could beat him. Honestly, I know, I know

166
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: that they're looking for that matchup. I still have an

167
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: A grade on Hopkins, although over Hopkins last month or so.

168
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Other than that, hail Mary catch numbers have been pretty pedestrian. Yeah. Yeah, Uh,

169
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Pats have allowed touchdowns to twelve different receivers. They have

170
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: the third most touchdowns allowed at the position. Uh. They've

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: allowed another five to top eight score scoreless yards. So

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm given Christian Kirkus. I think he's a sneaky play

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: this week, especially if Gilmore plays. You know he'll he'll

174
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: have well either way. If Gilmore does, Gilmour's not gonna

175
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: touch him at all, So I like him this week.

176
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I have a B on Drake. The Patriots have really

177
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: clamped down on running backs recently. They've only allowed three

178
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: running backs over a hundred total yards that's rushing plus receiving,

179
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: and all three took nineteen plus touches. But Drake's upside

180
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: is that he gets fifteen plus touches in all but

181
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: one game he's played, and they've allowed They've allowed about

182
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: thirty six yards receiving two per game to running backs,

183
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: so I think Drake can get it done here. Um Edmonds,

184
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm putting back on the bench as he was relegated

185
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: to back up two days with just six touches last week,

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: so frustrating. On the other side, Cam Newton is getting

187
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: a B and it's uh, it's once again his rushing. Uh.

188
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Last week he did it with his passing, but listen

189
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: to his home game passing yards at Gilette Stadium on

190
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Sto seven and one eighteen so bad. Conversely, on the

191
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: road averaging over three hundred yards per game, weird at

192
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: home had Gilette not getting it done. Uh, So he

193
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: should get more of Russian opportunities this week though, Uh.

194
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: It's it's a team. Arizona has allowed a hundred eighty

195
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: rushing yards to quarterbacks over the last four weeks, and

196
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: part of that is due to their forty percent blitz rate.

197
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: They're forcing quarterbacks outside uh, rushing outside. Cam has played

198
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: three teams with similar blitz rates. He has thirty five

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: carries for a hundred and fifty yards and four touchdowns

200
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: in those three games. So uh. His passing yards totals

201
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: I've mentioned were bad. But in those games, those those

202
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: blitz those heavy blitz games, he rushed the ball on

203
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: average nine times. Uh. He yes, we got scolded for

204
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: missing and nine times. In fact, he has rushed the

205
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: ball at least nine times uh in seven different games. Uh.

206
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: So I gotta be great on him. Unfortunately, the return

207
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: of Harry made Myers less lovable option, and Bird had

208
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: his first big game of the year. But here's the problem.

209
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: H Bird had more targets over the last four games.

210
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: Myers has only missed four snaps, one each game. Harry

211
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: had more targets than both of them last week, but

212
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: put up just forty one yards. It's a mess. I

213
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: don't know what. And we've mentioned the passing yard shtals.

214
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: I got well on the bench Harrison White. I'm giving

215
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: both C grades to Burke. Head went down with the injury,

216
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: so he clears the way for White to grab grab passes.

217
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: He got six catches last week. Uh. Weirdly, James White

218
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: out snapped Damian Harris last week. I did not see

219
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: that coming. I didn't either. He had been so lightly

220
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: used for several games. Yeah, I I have C grades

221
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: on Harrison White Harris Scott twelve touches, White guy to

222
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: eleven touches. I can see them both with double digit touches.

223
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: Touches here, it's all about Michelle. If he comes in

224
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: and plays, uh takes away snaps. I hope it's just

225
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: that minimal five six, seven touches that that allows both

226
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: of those guys in double digits. That all makes sense.

227
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Carolina goes to Minnesota and let's start with the running

228
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: game and Mike Davis. It will be another Mike Davis game.

229
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: By the way, the Vikings are top ten and in

230
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: allowing rushing attempts and rushing yards to opposing running backs,

231
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: but their performance has been very volid over the past

232
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: four games. In two they held down a very good

233
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay running attack in Chicago's running attack to just

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: fifty three yards game, but then in the other two

235
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: they allowed a struggling Dallas rushing attack and Detroit's rushing

236
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: attack to average a hundred forty three yards. Go figure.

237
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: You would think those have been flipped. I don't expect

238
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: much through the air either way, though, No back his

239
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: top thirty six receiving yards against the Vikings. They've been

240
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: great at stopping opposing backs through the air, and that's

241
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: been a lot of where Mike Davis has helped and

242
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: that's why he gets a B grade in this game.

243
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Teddy Bridgewater fully expected

244
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: to resume quarterbacking duties here startable against a yielding Vikings secondary.

245
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: Aside from Chicago's non functional offense, the Vikings are giving

246
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: up two hundred eighty one yards and almost three touchdown

247
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: passes per game. Who Teddy is not normally that kind

248
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: of guy. UM, and each of the of his receivers

249
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: have positive matchups UM, but he tops out to Sea

250
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: because he's just not an explosive player. He has topped

251
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes once in his last nineteen games. So

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: I know it's ultimate revenge scenario. Basically, I would love

253
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: to seeing p J. Walker se I don't. I don't

254
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: think Teddy has revenge in him. No, don't sad scenario.

255
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Capitalize on it. How I'll put it to you this way,

256
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: In Minnesota, when Teddy Bridgewater runs onto the field, he

257
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: would get far more we're there, we're their fans in

258
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: the stands. He would have gotten a far bigger ovation

259
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: than Kirk Cousins would have gotten. That. It's not even close,

260
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: not even close. All right, let's talk about his receiver's

261
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: beginning with Curtis Samuel's got a matchup. I love Samuel

262
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: has been a top five scoring wide receiver over the

263
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: last five weeks thanks to his five touchdowns and his

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: regular use as a runner. He overwhelmingly lines up in

265
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the slot, where he matches up against Vikings rookie Jeff Gladney.

266
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: You might be wondering, how is Jeff Gladney doing this year? Well,

267
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: he has allowed the most passing touchdowns in his coverage

268
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: than any cornerback well, for that matter, any player period.

269
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: And it's by two that bad. It's given up seven stdowns. Yes,

270
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Sadney, Oh that might that might stick. I'm afraid

271
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: let's hope that's not. Uh So, be great on Curtis Samuel,

272
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: Be great and DJ Moore, I like the p J

273
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Walker gave him a ton of volume last week and

274
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: more than Teddy ever did, and then more responded with

275
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: a very big game last week. He runs from all

276
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: over the field. He'll most often see rookie Camelot Cameron Danzler,

277
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: who's giving up a passer rating of one thirty. So

278
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: I like DJ Moore here and let's just hope Teddy

279
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: learns from a little bit what p J. Walker showed

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: last week. You can target d J Moore. It's okay

281
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: to do that. Robby Anderson gets a C grade. He

282
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: hasn't scored since the opener um and his speed is

283
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: frankly a mismatch for Teddy's arm, but the matchup is

284
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: good against Chris Boyd. I believe he is startable in

285
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: a pinch. Boyd allows seventy seven percent of the passes

286
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: in his coverage to be completed. Let's go to the

287
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Viking side. Dalvin Cook obvious A grade and without Adam

288
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: feeling At who is very unlikely to go. I expect

289
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: the Vikings to do it comes naturally here. That's run

290
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: the ball, and they don't need excuse to run the ball.

291
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: But we're gonna take Adam Feeland away. Expect that much

292
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: more running. So Cook gets the A grade. Kirk Cousins

293
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: is on the bench. I think you have to avoid

294
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: these low volume games from Kirk. And if you like

295
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: me and you think they're just gonna run against a

296
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: bad run defense, this is the This is when you

297
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: don't want to play Kirk. He averages twenty seven passes

298
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: per game when he's below twenty seven. Kirk's average game

299
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: two hundred two yards and one point four touchdowns. That

300
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: is not a starting grade. Without guard Ezra Cleveland, last week,

301
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings offensive line looked brutal, and I'm worried about

302
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Kirk's Kirk's ability to get in a clean pocket as well.

303
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is the only other Viking that you'll want

304
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: to start a B grade here. He typically crushes it

305
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: when he's heavily targeted and without feeling that should happen here.

306
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson has at least eighty six yards in five of

307
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: the six games in which he has seen five targets. UM.

308
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: He also has all four of his touchdowns in games

309
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: where he's had those five targets. And I think he

310
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: gets the five targets here. Favorable matchup as a Panther's

311
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: defense allowing seventy one yards per game to receivers and um.

312
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: The only other guys that I think you'd want to

313
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: talk about. I know what I mean. If Smith unlikely

314
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: to go, I mean maybe a Mark Andrews pivot there. Yeah,

315
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe. I mean in a pinch, you

316
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: could go that direction if you wanted to. Um, I

317
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: don't have starting here, but that makes feeling. And if

318
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Smith out, I mean, they gotta go to they gotta

319
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: go to something. Even if it's only twenty three passes,

320
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: there's got to be something got, you would think. So,

321
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm nervous about this passing game, the vikings

322
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Let's take a break. When we come back,

323
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: nine players, many of whom are available on the waiver wire.

324
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: We call it take a chance on me. Guys you

325
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: would not normally start you can this week for a

326
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: variety of reasons. Will tell you who they are. In

327
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: this a very tumultuous week twelve. Stay tuned to Fantasy

328
00:16:49,880 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Take a chance on me. Nine players not

329
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: normally in your starting line. I will tell you who

330
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: they are and which ones you can. Many of these

331
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: you'll be able to pick up off the waiver wire.

332
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: We begin at the quarterback position, and Scott Fish, who

333
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: you got? Okay, okay, I know he's looked terrible. He

334
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: doesn't look he's probably on your waiver ward because he

335
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: looks so bad. But even really bad qbs can find

336
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: themselves startable in the right matchup. I have Carson Wentz,

337
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: They're going to be behind a lot. Seattle just lost

338
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Dunbar and there literally every QBA to face Seattle has

339
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: had either yds or and or multiple more multiple touchdowns

340
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: are both. Uh. They have allowed six rushing touchdowns too,

341
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: and once runs a man from time time, He's got

342
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: four rushing on the year. It's a spot. As for

343
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: as bad as he's looked, he usually ends up with

344
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in the game one way or another. The catches,

345
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: it's the it's the turnovers. Did you know that Carson

346
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: Wentz leads the league in fumbles and interceptions? You know

347
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: hard it is to to be leading in both of

348
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: the turnover categories. If there were a third turnover category,

349
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz would lead that too. I don't know what

350
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: it would be. Maybe something like eating a football and

351
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: then regurgitating it into the mouth of an opposing player

352
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: like a baby bird. Maybe that would be it. Carson

353
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Wentz would lead that too, probably like Brett Favor Dave

354
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Craig or something Dave Craig. He was an epic fumble

355
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: one time years ago. I did a TV show with

356
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Dave Craig, and so I teased him on air about

357
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: the fumbling. He was so pissed. Oh, he did not

358
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: take that well at all. So if you ever run

359
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: into Dave Craig or Dave Craig, if you're listening, he

360
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: had the Gym Everett reaction. He got it in. He

361
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: got it in. All right, Brian, you take a chance

362
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: at me, quarterback? All right, seventy six degree. He's cloudy,

363
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: no chance of rain. That's the weather in Jacksonville. For

364
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He survived monsoon season in Cleveland understandably, barely

365
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: posted any numbers over the last month. Well, no touchdown

366
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: since Week seven. But I'm attributing a lot of that

367
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: to the weather. I believe there was a buy mixed

368
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: in there as well. But he's passed the weather gauntlet.

369
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: And before all that mess, Baker had thrown any touchdown

370
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: in every game. He was averaging more than two passing

371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game on the season. The last four quarterbacks

372
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: that faced the Jaguars have it lead have hit at

373
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: least two d seventy passing yards and two passing touchdowns,

374
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: and Mayfield is a bit of a road warrior over

375
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: his career. It's not the longest career, but a pretty

376
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: good sample size. He's averaging nearly two passing touchdowns on

377
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: the road and less than one and a half passing

378
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns at home. So Cleveland's itching to air it out.

379
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: They got to break the rust off of get the

380
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: rust off of his shoulders. So Baker Mayfield at Jaguars.

381
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to Philip Rivers. Over the past five weeks,

382
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: which includes a game against this week's opponent, Tennessee, Rivers

383
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: is average a healthy two yards and two touchdowns. He's

384
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: playing better than I think people realize. Rivers played well

385
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: against Tennessee two weeks ago, and prior to facing a

386
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: broken Baltimore passing game, Tennessee was allowing two nine passing

387
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: yards and two point four touchdowns per game. I would

388
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: take two nine and two point four from Philip Rivers.

389
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position, Scott, who's you

390
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: take a chance on your running By the way, on

391
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers minus three yards rushing on the season, it's uh,

392
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: my running back is Boston Scott. Last week again he

393
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: vultured to score had eight touches. I think this is

394
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: a game where he's going to get more touches. I

395
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: find the Eagles are gonna be behind, have a lot

396
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: of offensive snaps trying to trying to catch up there.

397
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: This is a Seattle team that's allowed the fifth most

398
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, fourth most running back receptions, fifth most running

399
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: back receptions, receiving yards, and and the secondary running back

400
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: scored a bunch. Chase Edmonds did it last week, Malcolm

401
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Brown and Darrell Henderson did a couple of weeks ago.

402
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: Ja Michael Hasty and Jack McKinnon like the backup running.

403
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: The second running back comes in and get scores. Why not, Brian,

404
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: you take a chance of me running. Frank Gore at

405
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: home against Miami. Count them up. This will be Frank

406
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Gore's sixth revenge game of the season. It's been two

407
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: Buffaloes and it's a homecoming of sorts. If it's it's

408
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: it's in Jersey. On the second time I played, we

409
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: had two Buffaloes at Miami, a San fran and an

410
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Indie this year for revenge games for but Lea Michael

411
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: Perne on I R right now for the Jets, So

412
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: it looks like we'll have a bell cow on our

413
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: hands against the Dolphins, who are fresh off allowing one

414
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: dred and sixty plus rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns

415
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: to Denver running backs last week. These teams met in

416
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Week six, Gore had forty six rushing yards on sixteen carries.

417
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: Not great, but Perrine and Ty Johnson combined for sixty

418
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: nine very nice yards on ten carries in that game.

419
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: So give all that to Gore and this one, why

420
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: not Adam Gaze, Frank Gore, Frank or all right? I

421
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: am going with Wayne Gallman against Cincinnati. The Bengals are

422
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred twenty six rushing yards per game, fourth

423
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: most on five point two arts per carry, that second most. Uh,

424
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: not about Freeman again, he's on I R. Gollman has

425
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: scored four in four consecutive games, and over those four games,

426
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: his rushing attempts have increased every week. He was up

427
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: to eighteen rushing attempts last week, and he gets back

428
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: to that kind of territory this week, and he's a

429
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: very good start. In fact, I think he's inside my

430
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: top ten this week. Wayne Gallman. Your gall in. I'm

431
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: gall in on Gollman. Let's go to the receiver position. Scott,

432
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: who you got. I'm going with Jalen Reagor. It's sensing

433
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: a trend here with my three picks. Yes, I am

434
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: once again picking. You're picking on you on a bad,

435
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: bad Seattle Seattle defense in secondary uh, even if its returns,

436
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: it more than likely means Richard Rogers six targets are

437
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: going over to earths. Maybe there's a little extra forts there,

438
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: but Rigor is at least five targets in each of

439
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. His yardage hasn't been there yet,

440
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks have allowed the most yards and second

441
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to watch receivers. The Jeffrey return only took

442
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: away fall of him. It didn't affect at all at all.

443
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: Rigors to go to guy. I like him in this

444
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: game a lot. All right, Brian, you take a chance

445
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: for me. Receiver Cleveland's Richard Higgins at Jacksonville. I'm not

446
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: going to mention why Richard Higgins hasn't done anything over

447
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: the last month, because I will it was a stupid monsoon.

448
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: But over Jacksonville's last four games, they're allowing more than

449
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: fifteen catches and two and ten yards per game to

450
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. They've surrendered six total touchdowns to the

451
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: position over those four games, and the Jaguars have also

452
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: allowed one one yard receiver in each of their last

453
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: six games. Yes, Jarvis Landry could be that guy for Cleveland,

454
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be Cadarrel Hodge. It very well

455
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: could be Richard Higgins at Jacksonville. Yeah, I like that play.

456
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: That's a that's a good one, um. And you know

457
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: it's not like Jarvis Landry's got big upside in him.

458
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: Higgins has got more upside, big play potential than Jarvis.

459
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: It's he or Hooper in the in the red zone

460
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: for sure. My uh my, take a chance for me

461
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: receiver in our final one for this segment is Jachiem Grant,

462
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: the Miami water Bug who goes up against the Jets.

463
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: Since Preston Williams injury, Jachim Grant has been on the

464
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: field for eight percent of the Jets plays. And sorry,

465
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Miami's place, I said, Jets for Miami's place. Grant is

466
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: a sneaky play against the Jets defense that has lost

467
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks Bliss, Suan Austin who when and I are

468
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: And then they just outright cut Pierre de Seer and

469
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: he earned it. New York second day was already bottom

470
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: five with those guys, and in their first game without them,

471
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: they got smoked by Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, who

472
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: combined for two seventeen yards and two touchdowns. And there's

473
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: a chance Stu Beard comes back for that game. Oh,

474
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: I would like that too, of may not play this one,

475
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: and we'll find out. Also, let's find out what's happening

476
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: more between Cleveland and Jackson. You've already talked about some

477
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: of the players you like in this one, Brian, but

478
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: let's start with Nick Chubb and the running game. Chubb

479
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: has been very good since coming back. Yeah, definitely, twenty

480
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: carries last week. Cream Hunk still siphoned off thirteen and

481
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: the rushing score unfortunately, but uh, Chubb basically seeing Bell

482
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: cow rushing usage. Even with Kareem Hunt in the fold.

483
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: He was not targeted though for the second time in

484
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: three games last week. In fact, Chub has not seen

485
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: more than one target at any point this season. That's

486
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: just not an aspect of his game. Unfortunately, but but

487
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: what although he is a he's a service of all,

488
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: they definitely not. They barely throw it a Kareem Hunt either.

489
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about in the second the second, but the

490
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: Jaguars do only fifth highest opponent and rushing play percentage

491
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: and have allowed five rushing touchdowns to running backs over

492
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: as many games. So in A for Chub and a

493
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: B for Kareem Hunt mentioned the thirteen carries in a

494
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, he was the only Cleveland back to

495
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: see a target, although it was just one. But the

496
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: Jags have yielded the fifth most red zone targets to

497
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: running backs, and there should be plenty of meat left

498
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: on the bone for Hunt on the ground and this

499
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: one who would be for Hunt? And I'm gonna give

500
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Jarvis Lanjury a B as well. I just talked about

501
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: how bad the Jaguars have been against wide receivers, have

502
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: allowed a one yard receiver in eat their last six games,

503
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: six wide receiver touchdowns over their last four and for

504
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: that reason, Richard Higgins was might take a chance on

505
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: me wide receiver. And I really like Austin Hooper's matchup

506
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: as well, and give him a B. There's a potential

507
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: here though the Jaguars are awful against the position. They're

508
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: allowing the most yards per catch and touchdowns two tight ends,

509
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: and they've surrendered at least one tight end touchdown in

510
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: six of their last nine games. And for all those

511
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: positive matchups for the past catchers, Baker Mayfield was might

512
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: take a chance on me quarterback and over to the

513
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: Jaguar side. Not a lot to talk about here. Um,

514
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay have a new quarterback. We have a

515
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: new quarterback. Uh yeah, I was, he was. He's gonna

516
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: be the grand finale. I'll stay with James the order

517
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: you want, I'll stay with James Robinson. Through ten weeks,

518
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: Robinson his RB four overall, in RB six on a

519
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: points pre game basis and PPR. That's crazy. Just that

520
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: says more about the state of running backs in fantasy

521
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: football this year than it does about James Robinson being

522
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: a great talent. It does with only running back in

523
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: NFL history to log one thousand plus combo yards through

524
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: his first ten career games, the only undrafted running back

525
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: to do so in the NFL history, and he's battling

526
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: negative game scripts everyvery all the time, and sadly, he's

527
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna do that and in this one as well.

528
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: The Browns have only allowed one total running back touchdown

529
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: over their last four games, and during that same four

530
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: game stretch, only Josh Jacobs has top seventy rushing yards

531
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: against Cleveland and he did that on thirty one carry.

532
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: So I'll give a bet to Robinson based on his volume,

533
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to work to really come through.

534
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: D J. Chark was gonna get a be but he

535
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: has been ruled out. Um he had a great matchup

536
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: because there's basically no one to match up against him

537
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: or any other wide receiver. Denzel Award, the best cornerback

538
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: on Cleveland, was the last guy standing. He's been ruled

539
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: out of this game. So it's Laviska Chanlts and Chris

540
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: connolly is I'll give yeah, they are both. He's been

541
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: decent this year. To guy, he's the more safer PPR

542
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: option between the two. But Chanalt has a very high

543
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: floor in this one. As Jacksonville likely plays catch up

544
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: with Mike Glennon at quarterback. He's on the bench. I

545
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: do like said, yeah, you gotta like that from the

546
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: last chance in the NFL starts, He's gonna let it rip.

547
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be playing bon Jovi's Blaze of

548
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: Glory on repeat pregame, over and over. You know, I

549
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: hope I like a guy that's self aware enough to

550
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: know this might be my last chance in the NFL.

551
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: That's Mike Lennon. Hey one, bonus, take a chance on

552
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: me player. I want to throw out to you guys,

553
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt's kicker Sarah Fuller. Yeah, I would love. I can

554
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: only hope she gets in the game, she makes her kicks.

555
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: It would be fantastic. We are rooting for Vanderbilt kicker

556
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Sarah Fuller this weekend. She will be our our tenth

557
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: take a Chance on Me player. More Fantasy Football Weekly,

558
00:28:44,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: coming back in Moments, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Scott Fish,

559
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson and Paul Georgie and you can follow us

560
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter at oh wait, Scottish four. I always think

561
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: it's twenty three Scott Fish Banker Jr. Not Don Mattingly.

562
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't blame you, honestly, Uh, if it comes down

563
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: to those two at Brian Johns is at b t

564
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: x J and I'm at Paul Chargion. We've got a

565
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: number of matchups to get to over the course of

566
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: this segment, beginning with Tennessee taking on Indianapolis. This is

567
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup for Tennessee and particularly in the passing game. Yeah,

568
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: and that's why I have Ryan Tannehill on the bench.

569
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: It's tough draw for him. Tannehill has failed to top

570
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: two and sixty yards in five straight and the Courts

571
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: have allowed the fourth fewest passing yards to quarterbacks. Not

572
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: a good spot. Tannehill multiple touchdowns in all but two games.

573
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: Both Stafford and Rogers head good game games against the Colts,

574
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: but this last four or five weeks for Tannehill, I

575
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: just can't trust it. I am. I am giving c

576
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: grades to A. J. Brown and Corey Davis, though uh

577
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Brown has scored in six of his seven. I know

578
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: he's a little dinged up, but he should be fine.

579
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Outside of the one Dudd game, which was which was

580
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: a dropped the sideline bomb that he likely would have housed. Yep, yep,

581
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: I did. I did have it in here that he

582
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: went one for twenty one in that in that game.

583
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: Besides that one Dudd game, he's been very, very solid

584
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: in all other games. Davis had five for sixty seven

585
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: in that game, a very solid startable C grade stat line.

586
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: He's actually been in that range in four the last

587
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: five games, lead the Titans in targets for the last

588
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: five games, which is surprisingly so C grade there Jonah Smith,

589
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: he basically needs to be saved by touchdowns to to

590
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: be relevant. In fact, Fuser has more catches over the

591
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: last five weeks than Johnny Smith does. He does, he's

592
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: he is. He is a tight end dependent, touched and

593
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent tight end, right, which is ridiculous consigned how

594
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: skilty is which I agree completely. Of course, you know

595
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: how I feel about this with John O JOHNU. But

596
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: let me mention this. He does have more touchdowns than

597
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: any tight end except Travis Kelsey. Yeah, and it's not bad.

598
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: And here dependent tight end, Yeah, that helps. Yeah, it

599
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to run him into. I have an A

600
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: grade on Henry I. I don't think it matters anymore

601
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: who he plays and divorce Buckner is on the COVID list,

602
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: so he'll be out for this game. In the middle

603
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: of that defense that Henry should be able to to

604
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: run up. Colts have allowed nine rushing touchdowns all three

605
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: backs of seventeen t more touches top nine yards. Henry

606
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: average is like twenty four game. He's gonna get his.

607
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: On the other side, you like Philip Rivers this week

608
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: he do take a chance on me player rightly, So

609
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: I have an A grade on Michael Pittman, maybe the

610
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: first A grade on the show. Yeah, as you can imagine,

611
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 1: the Titans are just as bad against wide receivers as

612
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Charge mentioned they were in the past against the past

613
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: with his take a chance on me, second most receptions,

614
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: fourth most yards allowed to watch receivers. Two weeks ago,

615
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Pittman broke out with seven catches for one yards against

616
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: this very same defense. A grade there, Burton, Ali, Cox,

617
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: Doyle tight Ends, they're on the bench. There's splitting too much.

618
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Taylor and Hines. Right after they say Hines is going

619
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: to get the workload, Taylor gets twenty six touches. I

620
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: do have a C grade on both here, hoping that

621
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Hines can get just enough out of the air and

622
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: Taylor maintains that twenty twenty touch looad, which is no guarantee. No,

623
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: it's no guarantee, but but you could probably rack them

624
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: up both for wreck Taylor up for double digits regardless

625
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: he gets those in his down games. Usually h Titans

626
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: are really really bad against past sketching backs, one of

627
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: the worst in the league, and hindes his top thirty

628
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: five yards through the air and a couple of grabs

629
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: in every single game but one. And uh so I

630
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: have Sea grads on both of them. San Francisco takes

631
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: on the Rams. The Rams have become the best overall

632
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. Coults are close. I think it's

633
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: Colts Rams one and two. Um. And also, as you're

634
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: as you're looking at San Francisco players, watch for left

635
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: tackle Trent Williams COVID status. If he cannot go in

636
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: this one, it hurts in an already difficult matchup, almost

637
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: everybody becomes unplayable. I think at that point ce Grade

638
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: right now on Rackee Mostert, who comes back here. Now

639
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: what's not clear is in his first game back, is

640
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: he ready to withstand a big workload or not. Yes.

641
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say with most Remember Michael Kaiser,

642
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: they're leading tackler in the line in the linebacking corps

643
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: is out is out for for the ramp for the Rams, Yes,

644
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: which which is helpful. It was probably in your notes

645
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: and I just thought okay, it's a there's a tough

646
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: matchup for where he most the Rams allowing uh only

647
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: an average of seventy five rushing yards per game, that's

648
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: seventh fewest and zero point four touchdowns, second fewest to

649
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. They've been even better lately. No back

650
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: his top forty eight rushing yards since all the way

651
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: back to Week six, and Rahee Mostard who had sixty

652
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: five yards, which is just okay, and only three point

653
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry, which is about what I expect

654
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: in this game for Mostart. The only other player I

655
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: have a starting grade on is tight end Jordan Read.

656
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: It's because he's a tight end. We don't have a

657
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: lot of options. The Rams are playing white outs, so well,

658
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: the Niners might just choose to send the ball to

659
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Read go to the tight end instead. In the

660
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: earlier matchup, George Kittle went berserk monster game against the

661
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: Rams ten catch game that said Read is not George Kittle,

662
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: and Kittle's big game is the only high volume tight

663
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: end game the Rams have allowed all season long. So

664
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: just to see grade on Jordan Read, it's a dart

665
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: throw there. Everybody else is on the bench. Nick Mollins

666
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: is a backup quarterback against the NFL's best past defense.

667
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: That's not good. Deebo Samuel is trying to overcome a

668
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, and if he does start, he projects to

669
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: draw Jalen Ramsey. That's death to him and then for

670
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: Brandon I Ken needs to clear the COVID protocol before

671
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: we even know if he can go, and then he

672
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: might get Jalen Jalen Ramsey. If Deebo Samuel doesn't go,

673
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: just let's just not play any of them. Let's be

674
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: one of the worst Super Bowl hangovers in history. Are suffering. Yeah, well,

675
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, in fairness, I mean all the injuries offensively

676
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: and defensively. You know, it's but it's it is, it's gone.

677
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: It's gone ugly fast for them. I was optimistic it

678
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't go this way, but it has. Let's go over

679
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: to the ram side. Then, beginning with the passing game,

680
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's start with Jared Goffin gets a C grade

681
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: in back to back games. We've gotten good Jared. And

682
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: when he's good, you want to believe in that guy.

683
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: And three yard against Seattle, monster game against Tampa. But

684
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: then when he looks bad like he did in the

685
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: earlier matchup with San Francisco. Here, like you just want

686
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: to gouge your eyes out, and the Niners make at

687
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman backed for this game. That could be a

688
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: that could be a serious game changer for that defense.

689
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: Even without Sherman since the opener, San Francisco's past defense

690
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: has been very good. They're giving up the second fewest

691
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: passing yards without Sherman. Three quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick, Aaron Rodgers,

692
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson. Those are three good quarterbacks have scored

693
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: two thirds of the touchdowns given up by the Niners

694
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: all year. The other eight quarterbacks are averaging one yards

695
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: and zero point seven touchdowns. Jared Goff is not in

696
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: the caliber of Aaron Rodgers Russell Wilson, so I think

697
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: he is potentially sitting at a dud game here. Just

698
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 1: to see grade for him B Grade and Cooper Cup.

699
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: Over the past three games, Cup is seeing forty targets

700
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: and he's averaging a hundred two yards. The problem is

701
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: he's never found success against the forty Niners. In four

702
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: career games against San Francisco, Cup has topped out at

703
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: just thirty one yards as his best game. Against the Niners.

704
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: That includes his eleven yard game against San Francisco earlier

705
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: this year in the slotty matches up with Jamar Taylor.

706
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: That's a neutral matchup. Taylor allows a lot of catches,

707
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: but he does not give up big games. I think

708
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Kwan Williams might be back for this one after they

709
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: reversed his suspension too. That would be very helpful. Not

710
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: for the Rams. No, yes, um, Robert Woods gets a

711
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: C grade in this one under the assumption that Richard

712
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: Sherman returns because he Woods only runs even of his

713
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: plays on the other side of the field, which means

714
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: he'd be on the Sherman side. Upgrade Woods to a

715
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: B without Sherman. Though some good news. Woods has tallied

716
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: one yards or a touchdown in each of the past

717
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: three meetings against San Francisco, so he's been successful here.

718
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: In the Week six meeting, he only had four catches

719
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: for twenty nine yards, but he did score a touchdown. Now,

720
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: let's talk about all the people on the bench, all

721
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: the Rams runners on the bench since Week eight. Get this,

722
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: This tells you why you can't trust these guys. Sense

723
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: Week eight cam akers Darryl Henderson, Malcolm Brown, have split

724
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: touches exactly in thirds. It's impossible to trust any low

725
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: volume back against a very good forty nine run defense

726
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: allowing the fifth fewest rushing yards and the eighth fewest

727
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: touches per game. Henderson posted a decent game against the

728
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Niners in the earlier meeting, but Acres wasn't getting the

729
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: ball back then. So I don't trust any of them here.

730
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: And they're on the bench and the two tight ends,

731
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: same deal. They cannabalize each other. They are on the

732
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: bench as well. Um today, I feel like I'm gonna

733
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: missed anybody. No, I got everybody. That's all the Rams.

734
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Miami taking on the New

735
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: York and Jets. Brian for Miami, we have some changes

736
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: at the running back position. Yes, Salvin Ahamed probably not

737
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna play. He's out. He's ruled out and ruled out.

738
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: So we're looking at Patrick Lair DeAndre Washington. They might

739
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: be able to get Myles Gas back and come off.

740
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: But that's I think he's here. I think they're going

741
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: to press him into service, full time service. I not,

742
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: but I feel like they don't like the other backs.

743
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: That's what they should they flat out. It feels like

744
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: a week to to not go to go all in

745
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: on one of them, because it seems like it's going

746
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: to be a platoon in my mind. Uh. And the

747
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: Jets run defense is actually shaped up quite nicely over

748
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: the last month, and it's not as easy of a

749
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: run matchup for Miami as it is a pass matchup. No. Yeah,

750
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: the opportunities are there for running backs. New York is

751
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: one of twelve teams with an opponent rushing flavors centage

752
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: north oft. They've also yielded the most red zone targets

753
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: to running back, so that that plays into the past game.

754
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: But again, picked your poison. It's probably gasking if you

755
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with one of these three guys. But I

756
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: think you just got to see how this pans out

757
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: and move forward with the Miami Backs next week. Uh.

758
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Speaking of more questionable players to don't go, Viola probably

759
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: will play and assume he does with the thumb injury,

760
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: UNA give him a c. The Jets have allowed the

761
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: third most passing yards and the tenth most passed passing

762
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. Seven straight quarterbacks have thrown for three

763
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards end or multiple touchdowns against the Jets, yes

764
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: two of us bench last week. It was probably more

765
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: attributed to the thumb injury than his play, which wasn't

766
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: looking too good, but again hopefully that was because of

767
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: the thumb. So A c for two of a very

768
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: soft one. DeVante Parker just to be here, only three

769
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: catches for three five score of the yards in the

770
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: first meeting these teams played in Week six. By the way,

771
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: Parker only has one touchdown across his last four games

772
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: against the Jets and hasn't topped sixty yards against them

773
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: either during that span. But as long as the game

774
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: script isn't completely flipped, Miami won this game twenty four

775
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: nothing in the first matchup, so there was like no

776
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 1: need for offense really on the Miami side. Parker should

777
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: be fine against the Jets, so if the script is

778
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: not flipped. The Jets recently lost starting corners blasan awesome

779
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: tie Are and uh Pierre de si Here who just

780
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: was released, so we didn't really lose him, they jettisoned him,

781
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: so neither were any good anyway when they were playing.

782
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: But the Chargers wide outs top two hundred yards and

783
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: scored twice against the Jets last week, so b for

784
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: Devanta Parker and Jakeem Grant. Was your take a chance

785
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: of baby wide receiver? I like that definitely. And again

786
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: the sneaky, sneaky daily angle with a guy like Grant,

787
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: as he returns kicks as well, and you pair him

788
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: with the defense, you can double up on that bonus. Uh,

789
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: Mike Gisicky can give him a sea has put up

790
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: at least forty yards and three straight games and has

791
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: recorded at least four targets in each of those games

792
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: as well. Of all the tight ends to garner at

793
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: least four targets against the Jets, and that's a lot

794
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: of them, only one has failed to hit six yards

795
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: or score a touchdown. But keep in mind Kausik he

796
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: was blanked in the first meeting. But again Miami did

797
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: not need much offense in that one. Over to the

798
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: Jet side real quick. Frank gore As might take a

799
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: chance to running back, he'd probably be a bell cow.

800
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: In his sixth revenge game of the season, Jamison Crowder

801
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: Uh finds himself in a very crowd dead wide receiver

802
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: room all of a sudden give him as see though

803
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Uh target totals of two and three since returning from injury,

804
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: but as with Joe Flacco, uh Sam Darnald Donald is

805
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: going to make his return. Cooper Cup and Keenan Allen

806
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: have top two hundred yards or scored against Miami in

807
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: recent weeks from the slot, So Crowder gets a see,

808
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bench Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims. Perriman is

809
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: coming on strong, was developed developing a nice rapport with Flacco,

810
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: but those days are over. He had three touchdowns over

811
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: his last two games. Perriman probably sees a lot of

812
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: Avian Howard, who has ranked fifth and coverage among back

813
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. And Mims again a guy we

814
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: like on this show, an up and coming prospect, but

815
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: not this week. Keep him on your bench, but make

816
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: sure he has rostered and then Sam Donald will make

817
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: his return. Did not play in the first meeting that

818
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: was a Flacco game, but we got to see something

819
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: first from Sam before we insert him into our starting lineup. Well,

820
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: maybe a few times before, but I think we need

821
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: to see a lot before we put him in starting lineups. Um,

822
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: we have a moment or two before the break Scott.

823
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: Among running backs, there's a hierarchy of Derrick Henry Dalvin Cook,

824
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara as four elite backs. Is

825
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson the next backup. He's a roughly top five

826
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: at this point. He's getting there, and it's it's weird

827
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: because he's one of those guys that we kind of

828
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: saw this extreme. We were like, either he's gonna bust

829
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: or he's gonna be big because he's such an athletics

830
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: him and so good in the receiving game that he's

831
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: not being used in yet. So once mckissic leaves town

832
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: or they figure out to you, like I think, I

833
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: think Gibson is still just he's learning how to build

834
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: early down NFL running back and he's big enough to

835
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: handle that load. Once he gets his full game around him.

836
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely possible. Yeah, I do too. There's

837
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: that kid is going to be very good. I've seen

838
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: this thrown around out there, and I think it's absolutely right.

839
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: He's kind of like this year's Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders

840
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: did in the receiving game and now he's got the

841
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: full compliment. This year, Gibson is doing the running game

842
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: and he'll get the receiving later. He's a converted wide

843
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: receiver for Pete's sake, throwing him the ball. Who would

844
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: you you know, if you're Washington and your Ron Rivera

845
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: and Scott Turner, who would you rather have get the

846
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: ball in space at the end of a reception? J D,

847
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Mick suck Itt or Antonio Gibson He's back, Yeah, well

848
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: when I need him to sound bad, kissics making it work.

849
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: And I think they want Gibson to focus on learning

850
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: this role and that's why he hasn't gotten it yet.

851
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: But it's coming. I think it is coming. Um. If

852
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,600

Speaker 1: to Guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back, three

859
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: tough questions for a panel of experts. You get to

860
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: play along see if you can go three and oh

861
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul

862
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Charge and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you this

863
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: is a game. We call three tough questions. I will

864
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: pepper my co host, with three tough questions. They will

865
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: try to get them right. You'll try to get the

866
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: right player along. See if you can go three you know,

867
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 1: tough question number one. Dalvin Cook's playoffs schedule is brutal.

868
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: Should his owners trade him Scott? Yes, definitely. If you're

869
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: the fantasy manager that's definitely going to miss the playoffs

870
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: and you're done with the season and you don't care,

871
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: sure why not. It's a Mike McCarthy move, Matt Patricia move,

872
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: It's it's mostly an out of games move. Just trade

873
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: trade Cooking. You know, let's let's make our team worse

874
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: for no good reason. Uh the way this year is

875
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: going a healthy back getting twenty plus touches. I don't

876
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: care what the matchup is. I'm keeping Dalvin Cook on

877
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: my roster. I know you could probably get a decent

878
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: amount for him, but I just trust him through through,

879
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: even through the bad matchups. In most scenarios, the answer

880
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: is no, many many scenarios, just you hold on too,

881
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. But since there are a couple, I'll have

882
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: to make my answer. Yes, you should trade Dalvin Cook.

883
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: If you're really on the outside looking in but you're

884
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: clinging to playoff hopes, you have no right to be there,

885
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: but you are because of Dalvin Cook. And if you can,

886
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: and I never like doing a three for one or

887
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: two for one rom heavy where I'm getting two or

888
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: three players for one. But if you basically have no

889
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs, would you could? But you

890
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: want to both threw yourself up and based on the

891
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: bad matchups. If I can get a QB one and

892
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one in like an RB two for

893
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and someone's gonna pay that, that's the right hatch.

894
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: If you need depth, you can get a lot. But

895
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: if you're already gonna be in the playoffs, I have

896
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: no problem starting Dalvin Cook in those matchups if he's healthy.

897
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: But uh, I guess that's my answer is yes, though,

898
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: yes you should trade Dalvin Cook in some instances. Week fourteen,

899
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: he faces Tampa. Tampa is number one defense in yards allowed,

900
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: number one defense and yards per carry number three and

901
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: fantasy points allowed. Then Week fifteen, Vikings have the Bears.

902
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: This is the easy game. The Bears have given up

903
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: the second fewest touchdowns to running backs. Then Week sixteen.

904
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: If you get that far for the champion hip game,

905
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: all you have to do is play the Saints. The

906
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: Saints are number two in yards allowed and number one

907
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: in fantasy points allowed. Their last one yard game was

908
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: allowed to a runner was three years ago. Who did it, Scott? Go? Figure? Now,

909
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: if the offensive line for the Vikings were better, I'd

910
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: be defiant and I would just say, you know what,

911
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna run on that team, and they're gonna run

912
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: through those teams anyway. But I don't see that in

913
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: this Vikings offensive line. This is not a team that

914
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: can just exert their will that way. And if you've

915
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: got Cook, you're probably headed to the playoffs because Cook

916
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: has powered due to the playoffs. You don't need week

917
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: twelve wins. You don't need week thirteen wins. You're playing

918
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs and then go get the championship.

919
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: You need three straight wins in the playoffs. Is it

920
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: is Dalvin Cooking the Vikings going to dud in any

921
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: of those three matchups? Well, probably yes, in any of

922
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: them he could. Chicago and Minnesota played in Week ten,

923
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Cook had nineties six yards. That's great rushing yards on

924
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: thirty carries, yeah, thirty carry yet three or whatever three

925
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: point three perk and no touchdowns. Of course, right this

926
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: isn't This is all about getting to win at the

927
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: end of Week sixteen, and you can't have your best

928
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: player hitting you with a dudd in one of those weeks.

929
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: So you can name your price on Cook. When you

930
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: dial up the Derrick Henry owner and offer him Dalvin Cook,

931
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: he's got to think about that offer. That's like the

932
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: one one for one you can listen with. Derrick Henry's

933
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: got in the playoffs Jacksonville, Detroit, Green Bay. That's money

934
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: right there. Nobody. Derrick Henry is gonna win a lot.

935
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna win a lot of leagues. And that's a

936
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: trade you might be able to pull off right now.

937
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: You could trade for Aaron Jones, he's got Detroit, Carolina,

938
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee very favorable. You could trade for Josh Jacobs, hope

939
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 1: he gets through Indi so he can get the Chargers

940
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: in the Dolphins, Alvin Kamara, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Minnesota. They're

941
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: just there are other options all you care about at

942
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: this stage. If you have Dalvin Cook and you're going

943
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, he is getting to week sixteen, and

944
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he cannot hit you with duds in

945
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: three straight brutal matchups. Tough question number two. Washington head

946
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: coach Ron Rivera says that he'd like Alex Smith to

947
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: be his quarterback next year for Terry Mclaurin's Keeper League,

948
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Dynasty League, Empire League managers. Does this hurt help or

949
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: really neither? Brian, But we can just throw help out

950
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: the window, And no one's ever been like, oh, we

951
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: got Alex Smith, that's really gonna bode well my wide

952
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: receiver one next year. So it's between hurt and neither.

953
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: So since Alex Smith has had three full ish seasons

954
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: with twenty plus passing touchdowns, seventeen he finished with twenty

955
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: six passing touchdowns, so he's not been a great quarterback

956
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, but has been able to support

957
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one in those years. And twenty thirteen

958
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles led the team in catches, yards and receiving touchdowns.

959
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: I think that was the year he had like five

960
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns against the Raiders though or something like that,

961
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: but Dwayne bow was the leading wide receiver that year.

962
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: His numbers are not spectacular, so not off to a

963
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: good start. But in Jeremy Macklin led the team with

964
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: eighty seven catches, eleven yards and eight touchdowns. Those are

965
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: wide reaper one numbers. Uh. And in seventeen and Travis

966
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: Kelsey was in the mix that year from Macklin, he

967
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: hadn't quite popped off like we've seen him now. But

968
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Tyreek Hill seventy five catches, twelve yards,

969
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns with a very explosive Travis Kelsey in the lineup.

970
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: So Smith has supported wide receiver one numbers and what

971
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: we've seen so far, he's locked in on Terry McLaurin.

972
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: And if he does that next year, I think it

973
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: cannot hurt him with Alex Smith as his quarterback, all right. Uh,

974
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: First off, that's Perryan stat courtis sa Adams or I

975
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: like to credit where credit is due. Uh On this

976
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: one though, I actually kind of disagree that. I think

977
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: it can help him because it's a lot more consistency

978
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: from al Smith then what he's had to deal with

979
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position previously. They've played three and three

980
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: quarters games. So Alex Smith came in after the first

981
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: quarter at the very very very end of the first

982
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: quarter of the game. So he played three quarters of

983
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: one game and then three straight games. McLaren's worst game

984
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: of those four five eighty four from Alex Smith. The

985
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: Alex Smith in that in that game through and a

986
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: score in that three quarters, and then he's been eighty

987
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,959
Speaker 1: four more and five or more catches in the three

988
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: after that. Uh. I did put neither though, because you

989
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: know there's gonna have to be some dud's coming. Uh,

990
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: it will happen. But he was very up and down

991
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: with the Hodgepodge, so I I think it's right middle

992
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: of the road. It's definitely not like a stud young

993
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: quarterback that they can grow with. And he can be

994
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: a target hog like air bear to to Keenan Allen,

995
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be just fine. Um. Having Alex Smith

996
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: as the quarterback next year for the was in Keeper Leagues,

997
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: Dynasty Leagues, Empire Leagues hurts. McLaren isn't producing any better

998
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: statistically under Smith than he was under Dwayne Haskins or

999
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. It's all been the same, and with Smith's

1000
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: age and diminishing arm, he's not able to unlock the

1001
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: best to McLaurin. The sooner Washington finds a young talented quarterback,

1002
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 1: the sooner McLaren become becomes a bonkers, elite, top five receiver.

1003
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: To be fair, I don't think he's ever had the

1004
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: arm that's been one that's to diminish. Actually, you actually

1005
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: have to have a presence in the arm for to diminish.

1006
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: My problem with those other quarterbacks where their averages. He

1007
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: had a bunch of under forty yard games with Dog Smith.

1008
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: He's never been under eighty four. Well, he's only at

1009
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: one game under sixty one yards all year. One game.

1010
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: It's performed the same with all of them. As here's

1011
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: what we want. Look at Keenan Allen under Philip Rivers

1012
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: and Tyrod Taylor, and look at Keilan, Keen and Allen

1013
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: under Air Bear. This is what we want for Terry McLaurin,

1014
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: arguably the most talented receiver in the league. I mean,

1015
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: just from a talent standpoint, we until they get a

1016
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: quarterback who can unlock his potential, he's gonna languish as

1017
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: this second tier receiver. You have to get that young guy,

1018
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: and killing years with Alex Smith doesn't get you where

1019
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: you want to be. When you're a keeper league, Dynasty League,

1020
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: or Empire League manager. Question number three. Luckily, Washington's on

1021
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: pace for a top five pick or a bottom bottom

1022
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:37,479
Speaker 1: could go any direction right three tough Question number three

1023
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: one more? Do we sabotage drop every Ram and buccaneer

1024
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: running back? Scott? I wanna. I don't know how to

1025
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: even answer this, because I say yes, no questions, I'll

1026
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: tell you how to answer. What you're asking is barely possible,

1027
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: like the type of fantasy manager that would pick up

1028
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: a Bucks or Raps already back, probably as a dubster

1029
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: fire going on already, So you're just throwing a match

1030
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: into a dumpster fire that they already have. Uh you can? I?

1031
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: I would? I. I really don't want anything to do

1032
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: with them, even though the Rams, like Clayss schedule is

1033
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: very good, Like if one of them can separate themselves,

1034
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: that would be a nice stash, But I'd rather have

1035
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with those backs right now, Brian, can

1036
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: we sabotage drop every Rams and buccaneer running back the Rams? Definitely? Yes,

1037
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: that's easy. And even though between Leonard Fournette and Ronald

1038
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: Jones it's been there's been like six instances where it's

1039
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: like the stars have perfectly aligned for it to be

1040
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: player X is week, but then it's player Y who

1041
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: goes off. If I roster both of them and in

1042
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: both of them, meaning for Net and Jones, I will

1043
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: hold and just hope one can truly establish himself, and

1044
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: it's probably have to come through injury. It would have

1045
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: to be so that that that's so, I guess I

1046
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: will say. I'm gonna say yes, even though that one

1047
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: rare instance would be a no. But yes, you can

1048
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: drop them all though there their trash. Yes, you can

1049
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: sabotage drop every Rams and buccaneer running back. Does this

1050
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: mean that every Rams and bucket you're running back is terrible?

1051
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: No it doesn't. Does this mean that none of them

1052
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: will ever have a good game? No, some of them

1053
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: will have good games. Will you be able to predict

1054
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: which player is going to have a good game and

1055
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: when No, No you're not, And you're gonna get it

1056
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: wrong way more than you're gonna get it right. The

1057
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: playoffs are almost here, and in the playoffs you have

1058
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: to win three games in a row. Can you imagine

1059
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: starting any Ram or Buccaneer player running back confidence for

1060
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: three games in a row. There always gonna produce three

1061
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: games in a row for that teams. Those teams. No

1062
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: ram or buccaneer running back has a starting grade this week,

1063
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: which tells you plenty as well, you're not starting them

1064
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: this week. You're not starting and beyond yes, you can

1065
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: sabotage drop them all. That's work in one more matchup

1066
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: into this segment, and it is the Chargers taking on

1067
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Scott for the Chargers, justin air, Bear has become

1068
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: an unbending Come on, yes, he's unbengeable. I I gave

1069
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: him a grade just because he's so unbengeable. He's he's

1070
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: he's a guy who has thirty three plus yards and

1071
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 1: or multiple multiple touchdowns in let me check my notes

1072
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: on this one again, every single game he's played. It

1073
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Bills are actually bottom five against quarterbacks bits,

1074
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: mostly because they have a lot of ton of rushing

1075
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: stuff to quarterbacks that is that has put them there.

1076
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: And Herbert it's usually like a ten to twenty yards guy,

1077
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: So don't count on that. But I I trust Herbert

1078
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: right now. Uh keenan Allen a grade. He's averaging ten

1079
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: plus targets per game with Herbert leads the NFL and

1080
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: targets and receptions, you can't bench him. C grade for

1081
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: Williams has at least four catches in five of the

1082
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: last six, and in those five games, he averaged nineteen

1083
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: yards per reception, good for eighty yards and scored four times.

1084
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: Uh second wide receiver has four catches or more in

1085
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: seven in the last seven Bills games. Now, you don't

1086
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: think Mike Williams is gonna at trade Avious White coverage

1087
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: in this one. It's possible. But have you how many

1088
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: how many wide receivers do you think are better at

1089
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: contested catches in the NFL that Mike Williams so big

1090
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: they go up and get it. I said that, I

1091
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: said this, What was it last year? I think it

1092
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: was last year with Kenny Golladay when he went up

1093
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: against White. I said, I don't care contested catches. They

1094
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: can they can overcome that. So I trusted Mike Williams

1095
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: for the C grade here, Henry, I gotta B grade

1096
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: to the problem with Henry is he hasn't topped fifty

1097
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: yards since Week three. That's what That's what gets me

1098
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: with this. Otherwise, the Bills have allowed the most receptions,

1099
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: most yards, and third most touchdowns to tight ends. They

1100
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: have allowed quite as much since Week six, but they

1101
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: faced Chris Herndon, Ryan is Oh, Jacob Hollister, and Dan Arnold,

1102
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: so so I will go more with what they did

1103
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: early in the year. Clergan's better tight ends. Uh. The

1104
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: tight ends that are more on bar with Henry in

1105
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: that early part average seven and a half catches and

1106
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: eighty yards and a touchdown. So that's where they give

1107
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: it up. The running back position is where it's really

1108
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: tough for this one. Ekeler might play. They don't. He

1109
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: probably won't, but he might. Blage probably not going to play,

1110
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: but he might eat. He's he's been hurt all week.

1111
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: The the internet doctors don't think he's gonna go. If

1112
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: if Blage goes, I'm starting him because he's got sixteen

1113
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: plus touches in three straight good for seventy yards in each.

1114
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: That's right along with what the Bills are doing. All

1115
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: the starters they allowed fifteen plus touches, two did seventy

1116
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: to twenty yards. You can count on that. Uh. If not,

1117
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Pope and Kelly. It's Troy Mayne, Pope's birthday.

1118
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: On your angle and there. Yeah, and he he had

1119
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: more touches than Joshua Kelly the one game that uh

1120
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: ballot the game before ballots really took over. So maybe,

1121
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: but I have them both on the bench. I don't

1122
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: know who to trust if Blage is out. So on

1123
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: the other I'd like to think at this point, you're

1124
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: nobody listening. Has to start Troy main Pope, Yeah, that

1125
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: would be that's that's that's really reaching. But the running

1126
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: back landscape, man, it's it's it's bad. Yeah. On the

1127
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: other side, josh Allen John Brown is going to be

1128
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: out for this game, so it makes it a little

1129
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: rougher for Allan. But the charges have allowed multiple touchdowns

1130
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: in five straight uh, none of them top two hundred

1131
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: and fifty yards. But Allen has seven fifty total yards

1132
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns in the last two games. He's he's

1133
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: really coming on strong right now, Digs, you're not mentioning him.

1134
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: I got an a grade their second in the NFL,

1135
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: and targets, receptions and yards double digit PPR points in

1136
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: let me check my notes on this one. Every same

1137
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: go game. He only has one game with fewer than

1138
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: six catches. He just gets it done. I do have

1139
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: a C grade on Gabriel if John Brown sits. He

1140
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: has produced in the games John Brown has been gone

1141
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: five one all three of those games over fifty yards

1142
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: cut three touchdowns like he's produced. One of his touchdown

1143
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: was not in one of those games was a game

1144
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: that John Brown left early. But uh, like a six

1145
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: yard touchdown or whatever. Beasley I'm putting on the bench

1146
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: just because he's been so hit or miss. With John

1147
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Brown out, he might see a little extra work. But

1148
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: I I did Gabriel a little bit more here. Uh Moss,

1149
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Zack Moss, you know that guy. I'm familiar and I

1150
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of like him in this matchup. I do. I

1151
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: have a B grade on him. Moss has outtouched Singletary

1152
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: in two straight games, out snapped him in three straight.

1153
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: He's the guy you want to start against the Chargers

1154
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: defense that has allowed eight touchdowns to running backs in

1155
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: just the last five games, six running backs over sixty

1156
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: yards in that five game stretch. As well, I have

1157
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Singletary on the bench. Yeah, the Cody Ford is going

1158
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: to be out for the rest of the season, which

1159
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: is a loss to that build's offensive line. But still

1160
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: hoping that they have an opportunity to get something done here.

1161
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: And this might be for those that were patient with

1162
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Zack Moss, this might be your chance to finally get

1163
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the big payoff. You only had to wait twelve weeks.

1164
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: That's right. He's been Yeah, it's been okay, you know,

1165
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: more so lately. And I know that first half of

1166
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the season was tough, but you know, at the end

1167
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: of the day, we're gonna get paid. On Zach Mass.

1168
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: I believe that the preseason you called him a league winner.

1169
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: It's coming. That's right, that's right. I meant it meanted

1170
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs attack that we meant. When we come back,

1171
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City takes on Tampa Bay. Tough matchup for Clyde

1172
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Edwards A laire. Do you start him here? We'll tell

1173
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome

1174
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Church and Scott Fish and

1175
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson with you another block of matchups, beginning with

1176
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City taking on Tampa Bay. Patrick Mahomes, Tie Reek Hill,

1177
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey all a's I'm not going to spend much

1178
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: time in any of those three guys, because you're gonna

1179
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: start up no matter what the Bucks secondary is the

1180
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: middle of the pact group that eventually yields big games

1181
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: most of the time. They've given up multiple passing touchdowns

1182
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: in five straight games. Homes should be fine here. Tyreek

1183
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Hill obviously a grade as well in a fantastic matchup

1184
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: against slumping slot corner Sean Murphy. Bunting Hill could be

1185
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: sitting in a very big game, and Travis Kelsey always

1186
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: in a grade. He's red hot right now. The bigger

1187
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: conundrum is really Clyde Edwards a layer. What are you

1188
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna do with him in this situation? Very tough. No

1189
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: back has managed to top sixty rushing yards against the Bucks,

1190
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and that's a team that has faced Christian McCaffrey at

1191
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: full health, Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs, Alvin Kamara, and Alvin

1192
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Kamara again, and none of them top sixty rushing yards.

1193
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: Tampa's number one in yards per carry aloud at three

1194
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: point three. They've yielded the most receptions to running backs, though,

1195
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: but Clyde isn't even getting that involved in the passing game,

1196
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: averaging just three catches for twenty three yards through the air.

1197
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: If you are cool with fifty total yards, which is

1198
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: what I think you're gonna get out of Clyde Edwards

1199
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: a layer ground in air and no touchdown. Okay, see grade,

1200
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: that's about where I think you find a lot finishes

1201
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: on this one. The receivers are on the bench and

1202
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins comes back for this, and I think that

1203
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: muddies the water for me. Cole Hardman, DeMarcus Robinson, Um,

1204
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: those guys worse quasi viable dart throws while Watkins was out.

1205
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: But now Watkins comes back, fewer balls to go around.

1206
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how exactly how much Watkins is gonna play,

1207
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: but enough that I think you're not gonna want to

1208
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: start any of them, and they start cannibalizing each other.

1209
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Watkins was also very unreliable after his big week one

1210
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: which he always has, and after that he was mostly

1211
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: missed than hit. All right, Now, let's go to the

1212
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Buccaneers side. The Bucks maybe without guard Ali Marpett, who's

1213
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: got a trying to get through the concussion protocol, and

1214
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: he might and tackle Donovan Smith who's got an ankle injury.

1215
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Those if they're both out, that's that's a sizeable loss

1216
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: for this offensive line. Let's start with Tom Brady. He

1217
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: gets a B grade, accepting his inexplicable dot against the

1218
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Saints on national television. Brady has been very good uh

1219
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: and occasionally explosive, multiple touchdowns in five of the past

1220
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: six games. The addition of Antonio Brown stretches opposing secondaries

1221
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: very thin even to go to him like Kansas City,

1222
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: and Brady's got some positive matchups with his receiver's beginning

1223
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown a grade each week. Antonio Brown is

1224
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: getting more and more attention from Tom Brady and he's

1225
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: turned into the number one target. He led the team

1226
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: last week with thirteen targets, averaging just fifty two yards.

1227
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Though in the three games with his bucks, it hasn't

1228
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: translated to a lot of production, but it might hear

1229
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: because most often he's gonna get coverage from chart Various Ward,

1230
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one fifteen. He's given

1231
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: up three touchdowns in his coverage. This is the best matchup,

1232
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: one on one matchup Antonio Brown has seen, so I've

1233
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an A grade in this game. Mike

1234
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Evans gets a B grade. The one thing we count

1235
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: on from the Buccaneers offense is that Mike Evans is

1236
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: the red zone target. He has seen thirteen targets from

1237
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line, which is crazy, that's the most.

1238
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: And he has scored eight of his nine touchdowns from

1239
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line. That's some dependable. He's really

1240
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: a goal line back. He's the Larry Kinnerbrew receivers. That's unreal.

1241
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: More often Evans. Evans gets gonna have a tricky matchup

1242
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: with Bashad Breland, but I think he gets into the

1243
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: end zone here, so I do have a B grade

1244
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: on him. The guy who Antonio Brown's killing it's Chris Godwin.

1245
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: He should be playing through a finger injury injury, but

1246
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: um Antonio Brown's targets are coming right out of Godwin.

1247
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: With Brown in the lineup, Godwin has fallen to third

1248
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: in the packing order, trailing both Brown and Evans and targets.

1249
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Over the last three games, He's failed to reach fifty

1250
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: five yards since Brown showed up in two of the three.

1251
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Since Brown showed up, I'm nervous about him in this

1252
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: matchup as well. C grade for him. And then the

1253
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: last of the receivers to talk about is Rob Gronkowski.

1254
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Like god when Gronks numbers are also down since Brown

1255
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: arrived and increasingly Gronk has got a divvy up looks

1256
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: with Cameron Brad who annoyingly is on the field for

1257
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: about the plays. The low volume means that Gronk is

1258
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent. Good tight ends have generally fared well against

1259
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. They've given up two tight end touchdowns

1260
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: last week. So so I've got to c grade on

1261
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Gronk and you can start him on the bench. Though,

1262
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: are the runners as I alluded to last segment, Ronald

1263
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: Jones LEO four nett for Jones. If you take away

1264
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: his improbable yard touchdown run against Carolina, He's averaging only

1265
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven rushing yards over the last five weeks and

1266
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: only one touchdown over the last five weeks, So don't

1267
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: get fulled by the highlight here. Predominantly he has been

1268
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: a struggling runner. Kansas City's run defense has been a

1269
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: lot better over the last six weeks. No back his

1270
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: top seventy seven yards, and they've only allowed three rushing

1271
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns in those six games. Leonard Fern normally a safe

1272
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: play for some PPR production, but the Chiefs have been

1273
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: awesome against pass catching runners and he dropped five balls

1274
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: last he did it wasn't that something? Um? Only one runner,

1275
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, has scored a receiving touchdown against Kansas City.

1276
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: So for Nets on the Beach. Our next matchup the

1277
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: New York Giants taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. Brian, I

1278
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: told you I liked Wayne Gallman in the running game.

1279
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: What do you think about the passing game here? Daniel

1280
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Jones has got a chance against a reeling Cincinnati secondary. Yeah,

1281
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: there's some angles here at the passing game. Let's start

1282
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: with Danny Dimes as pass catchers. Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepherd.

1283
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Gonna give them both the sea, but they both have

1284
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: b upside here. Outside of the opener, the Bengals have

1285
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: surrendered at least one wide receiver touchdown in every game,

1286
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and seven wide receiver touchdowns over their last three games alone. Uh,

1287
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: so there's there's opportunity for both of these guys to produce.

1288
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Shepherd sees more targets, averaging eight per game over his

1289
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: last three, but Slayton has five catches in back to

1290
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: back games. Arguably the higher ceiling too for Slayton. So

1291
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Shepherd the safer PPR guy, But Slayton has a pretty

1292
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: safe floor and a high ceiling here. Evan Ingram a

1293
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty high ceiling as well, has nine or more targets

1294
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: and three of his last four games. The Bengals are

1295
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: allowing the ninth most receptions and fourth most yards to

1296
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: tight ends, who have also scored six touchdowns on the season.

1297
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: That's a healthy number, so would be for Evan Ingram

1298
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and a very safe c for Daniel Jones. The Bengals

1299
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: have surrendered surrendered multiple passing touchdowns and six of their

1300
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 1: last seven games at least three passing touchdowns and three

1301
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: of their last four games. Alex Smith was the only

1302
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: quarterback who failed to throw multiple scores during that seven

1303
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: game span, and they really haven't faced a ton of

1304
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: quarterback mobile quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson didn't run much in a

1305
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 1: blowout win against the Bengals, but Carson Wentz had nine

1306
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: carries for sixty five yards in a rushing touchdown against

1307
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and Jones can run for at least ninety

1308
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: yards that and then his legs get out, but we'll

1309
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: take it. I'll take a ninety yard run, but getting

1310
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: the end zone next time if you've got that much daylight, Danny,

1311
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: And like you said, charge Wayne Gallman. Gallman, you take

1312
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back over the Bengal side.

1313
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: By the way, do you have a grade on him?

1314
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: I'd give him a B grade, Yeah, definitely. He's usually

1315
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: I put a C on take on guys, but he's

1316
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a B take on this week. I looked, I looked

1317
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: since we chalked last about Wayne Gollman. He's my number

1318
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: fourteen running back. At the moment, he looks pretty good. Um,

1319
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Jooe Bernard has not really looked so good with Joe

1320
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Mixon injured. He has uh, he is in concussion protocol.

1321
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: He looks like he's trending towards playing. You gotta monitor

1322
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: that for sure. If he doesn't go, it's Somaj p Ryan,

1323
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Somaj p Ryan on this show. Um, whoever

1324
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: can gets significant touches is in a decent spot against

1325
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: the Giants. Gonna give him both the sea. Whoever gets

1326
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 1: the start, basically, we'll get a see here. The Giants

1327
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: have allowed three rushing touchdowns are running backs over the

1328
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and since Week six, opposing backs have

1329
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: average average nearly seven and a half catches and sixty

1330
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: receiving yards per game against New York. So see for

1331
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: whoever ends up starting at running back for the Bengals.

1332
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Just to see for Tyler Boyd. He's been at least

1333
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 1: a b every week this year, considering he has six

1334
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: or more catches and four straight games. But it's Brandon

1335
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Allen time. Now it's not Joe Burrow and Giants rookie

1336
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: slot corner Darnay Holmes has held opponents scoreless through his

1337
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: last nine games. So just a see for Boyd, and

1338
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: I got see Higgins on the bench. He had worked

1339
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: his way into every week's starter status. Now before last

1340
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, he was among rookie receivers third in reception,

1341
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: second in yards, and second in touchdowns. But now he's

1342
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: got Brandon Allen on the bench, and he's going to

1343
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: see the most of James Bradberry most likely. So Higgins

1344
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: is on the bench, A J. Green will not be

1345
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: seeing James Bradberry. They're eight teen players right now with

1346
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: at least eight end zone targets this year, okay, and

1347
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: all of them have caught at least two end zone touchdowns.

1348
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: Most have at least four or five except A. J. Green.

1349
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: He's the only player among those eighteen players been targeted

1350
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: nine end zone targets, zero end zone touchers. That is nine.

1351
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: I will say there's a little whole. Brandon Ellen made

1352
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick and Kurt and Corlett Sutton valuable a few times.

1353
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 1: He's better than It's better than Ryan Finley. Yeah, yeah,

1354
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: what's I'm blanking on the principle's name. It's not Mooney

1355
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: in Ferris. I think it was Principal Moon. It sounds right.

1356
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: He's more disappointed in those nine times than the nine

1357
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: times Ferris has missed school, that's for sure. And Brandon

1358
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Allen on the bench, Sandy, Sandy, excuse me. Seattle takes

1359
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia Scott Um Chris Carson may come back for

1360
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: this game. Will but it's a tough matchup against a

1361
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: really good run defense. Yeah. I still like Carson though.

1362
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: They when they do have a running back go, they

1363
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: tend to make him the bell cow. They don't, they

1364
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: don't flip it up. They don't have multiple guys going.

1365
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: So if he's the lead back here here's an interesting thing.

1366
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: The lead back for Seattle has scored a touchdown every

1367
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: single week since Week three. It's interesting. I think in fact,

1368
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Week three was the only game the lead back didn't

1369
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: score a touchdown this year for Seattle, so I think

1370
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: is a likelihood there. The Eagles are are actually actually uh,

1371
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack against running backs running the ball,

1372
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: but one of the best stopping them through the air.

1373
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: Chris Carson does most of his damage running the ball.

1374
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: So that's that's uh, that's enough for me to give

1375
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: Chris Carson probably a be in a likelihood fifteen plus

1376
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: touches uh, and and I think a likelihood for a

1377
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: touchdown in the passing game. You're not benching Russell Wilson.

1378
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: You're not benching dk metcalf. I still have a grades

1379
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: on both of them. The Eagles have held eight qbs

1380
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: under two and forty five yards, and six of the

1381
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: ten they faced had just one or fewer touchdowns. But

1382
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: they have not faced Russell Wilson. In fact, the quarterbacks

1383
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: they have faced, let's just say they're not a murderer's row.

1384
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: I won't go through the list. They're not great rushing quarterbacks.

1385
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: They faced like Jackson and Jones twice Daniel Jones twice

1386
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: all had sixty plus rushing yards and they combined for

1387
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: two scores. Russell Wilson can run, too, so Uh. Dk

1388
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: metcalf also in a grade scored in all but three games,

1389
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: has ninety were more yards in all but three games

1390
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 1: as well. Tyler Locket, I'm given a B grade to

1391
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: He's top sixty five yards in six of ten games.

1392
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: Even his bad games are his are your four for

1393
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 1: forty types. His boom games are one yards and three touchdowns.

1394
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: So because of that range, that that possibly that floor

1395
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: of a C grade and the boom of a high A,

1396
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade right in the middle.

1397
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: It's very spineless of you, very spineless. Uh. He gets

1398
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: a decent matchup against Nicol Roby Coleman as well. On

1399
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: the other side, whence it was might take a chance,

1400
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean quarterback Rigor was my take a chance on

1401
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: me wide receiver Boston Scott was might take a chance

1402
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: on me running back. So that leaves us with none

1403
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers. You can't stand no more wide

1404
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: receivers can't start them. Uh. If Earth's goes, and it

1405
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 1: sounds like he will, I have a C grade on

1406
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Earth's and Goddard, I think they will share both. Se

1407
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,640
Speaker 1: six plus touches are six plus six plus targets. You

1408
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: go the Seahawks haven't faced tight ends like the Eagles have.

1409
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: You almost the Eagles tight ends are on a different

1410
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: platform than most tight ends in the league, really because

1411
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: they target him so much. Despite a Richard Rodgers, Yeah, yeah,

1412
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: they the Seahawks face Kittle, but he went down real

1413
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: early in that game, so it's hard to It's hard

1414
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: to decipher much from that. Uh. The Seahawks have allowed

1415
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: a tight end touchdown in three of the last four

1416
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: grades weeks, so sea grades for both of those guys.

1417
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: I think they'll get it done. Sanders, I'm given a

1418
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: B grade to The Seahawks have allowed the fourth fewest

1419
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Seems good, right, But much like a tight end,

1420
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: they haven't faced anyone. I mean, they faced Elliott on

1421
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: a bad day. They Cooking Madison destroyed them. Outside that

1422
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: it's like Girly Michelle Drake, Hasty Acres Zack Moss on

1423
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: a bad day. So they have allowed the fifth most

1424
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. However, the fourth most most running back receptions

1425
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: and the fifth most running back receiving yards. So it's

1426
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: is rushing yardage that they hold down. Well, Sanders can

1427
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: do it all over the field. He's gonna get fifteen

1428
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,600
Speaker 1: plus touches. I got a B grade on him in

1429
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: one note we mentioned went earlier. Has leads in interceptions

1430
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: and fumbles. Yes, he also leads in sacks sacks absorbed. Yes.

1431
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: During one of our breaks, I looked it up. I

1432
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: did not know this beforehand. In Dave Craig led in

1433
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 1: interceptions and fables. Right, I don't know that he was

1434
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 1: an impressive poll right there. That's a crazy poll. That

1435
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: is well done. Twenty one and sixteen. How about that sixteen,

1436
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: that's a lot of the worst. His worst was eighteen.

1437
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: It really, man, You've got to be a pretty good

1438
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: quarterback to have anybody trust you to put the ball

1439
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: in your hands continually when you fumble sixteen and eighteen

1440
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: times in seasons. Principal Rooney, see, I think what the

1441
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 1: problem where I'm getting him confused is Darnell Mooney is

1442
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago and that show you know that, or the

1443
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: movie was based in Chicago. That's where it's all blending

1444
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: right there. Abe froman The Sausage King of Chicago. When

1445
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 1: we come back. Premature speculation, one of our final premature

1446
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: speculations of the year. We're tapping out on these soon.

1447
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: These are players you'll want to pick up this week

1448
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: that other people are gonna try to pick up next week.

1449
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who they are when we come back

1450
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly.

1451
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: This is a segment we call premature speculation. We'll give

1452
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: you three guys we think you should pick up now

1453
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: that others will be trying to pick up later, but

1454
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,680
Speaker 1: they'll already be on your team. Scott, who is your

1455
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: premature speculation player? I'm going with Visca La Visca chanlt.

1456
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: I think we might be seeing a like a Chase

1457
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: Claypool thing again where you're gonna want him for a

1458
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: few weeks. And this week, Uh, he's gonna play this

1459
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: game against the Browns. Uh. They're already missing DJ Shark

1460
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: and they're missing Chris Conley for that game. He could

1461
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: be started this week. After that, he gets the Vikings

1462
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: and the Titans for your fantasy playoffs. Those two those

1463
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: the first two weeks at least, it seems like good

1464
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 1: matchups there. The last rookie wide receiver you did this

1465
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: with was Chase Claypool. I remember you can start on

1466
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 1: this week, but then he had four touchdowns. Yeah, Brian

1467
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: you're premature speculation player not very exciting. I'm just gonna

1468
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: say the Titans Dante Foreman, who was the backup to

1469
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, it's it's handcuff season and we're getting there.

1470
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: And if you if you roster Henry, you should probably

1471
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,560
Speaker 1: grab former. Now we mentioned the ridiculous schedule when it

1472
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: comes to ease for running backs to the Titans and

1473
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and if you're planning on being in the

1474
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: playoffs and you don't roster Derrick Henry, odds are you're

1475
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna run into the Derrick Henry Owner and you could

1476
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: essentially end all his hopes right now if you go

1477
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: grab Deanta Foreman, put him on a dead bench spot

1478
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: because uh, Henry Owner was gonna want him and he's

1479
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get him. The Rams have

1480
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: the easiest remaining schedule for wide receivers, with three deeply

1481
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: favorable matchups Week thirteen against Arizona, Week fifteen against the Jets,

1482
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Week sixteen against Seattle Josh Reynolds available, Incent of Leagues

1483
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: will be a flex starter in three of those games,

1484
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: including the two playoff games. He's on the field of

1485
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: the snaps easy matchups and if anything happens to Cup

1486
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: or Woods, Josh Reynolds could easily end up being a

1487
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: B grade A grade player in that scenario, and even

1488
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: with even if they're healthy, he would make some sense

1489
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: to Chicago takes on Green Bay. Now a lot to

1490
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: talking about the Chicago side, except yes, it's the return

1491
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: of Sad trombone Ski. The he will start for the Bears,

1492
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: if you've forgotten his three starts. He looked good against

1493
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: Detroit the opener. They look pretty bad against the Giants

1494
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 1: and they got benched in Week three, and I'm not

1495
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,879
Speaker 1: expecting a lot here to see grade for Allen Robinson.

1496
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Robinson crushed division rival Green Bay last season with Drew

1497
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Britsky under center, topping one hundred yards in both meetings.

1498
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Robinson will have his work cut out for him against

1499
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: j R. Alexander. Pro Football focuses number one rated cornerback

1500
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: who is allowing less than twenty yards per game at

1501
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: his coverage. Um feeding Robinson makes sense anyway. Though Robinson

1502
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: has been able to average seventy two yards this season,

1503
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: We've seen at least seven targets. I think Sad trombone

1504
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: Ski will hit him plenty all the rest of the

1505
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 1: parts of the passing game are off the board with

1506
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Mitch Drabinsky, including Jimmy Graham, who has become a tight end,

1507
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown dependent tight end who has only scored once

1508
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: in the last five weeks, and Green Bay's only allowed

1509
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: three tight untouchdowns on the year. David Montgomery is a

1510
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: B grade. He sees eight of the Bears running back touches.

1511
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,799
Speaker 1: He'll face a bad Packers run defense, allowing one hundred

1512
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: fifty seven total yards to running backs. That his fourth most. Unfortunately,

1513
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 1: Matt Neegie can't be trusted to go with the obvious

1514
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: best advantage he has on the field, which is the ball.

1515
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: Naggie's Bears ranked dead last in rushing attempts, and that's

1516
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: why I can only give Montgomery a B grade. Let's

1517
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: go over to the Packers side for Aaron Rodgers just

1518
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: to be great here, no opposing quarterback has hit three

1519
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: yards against Chicago, nor has any throne more than two touchdowns.

1520
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Only the Rams have allowed fewer passing yards than Chicago,

1521
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: and even then, the Bears haven't allowed running back to

1522
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: score through the air. He retains. Uh Rogers contains a

1523
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: B grade here because of Davante Adams, who you have

1524
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: to start every week, and he does get an A

1525
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: grade in this one, even with a tricky matchup. Going

1526
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: to his other receivers, Alan Lazard C grade, he runs

1527
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: mostly from this slot where he will see a struggling

1528
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: busted screen door. He's been dreadful lately over the past

1529
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 1: four games. Busted screen doors allowed his passes to be completed, sorry,

1530
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: the passes to be completed, and four touchdowns in four games.

1531
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: So Alan's are I'm tempted to move into a B

1532
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: grade right now? Let's keep him see see C grade

1533
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: and then Robert Touny in five targets last week in

1534
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: a touchdown in a tougher matchup than this one. Chicago

1535
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: has actually been yielding two tight ends, allowing three tight

1536
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: end scores in the past four games. And let's moving

1537
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: over to the running game. Aaron Jones B grade. Despite

1538
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: the pains taking over usage of Jamal Williams, Aaron Jones

1539
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: has garnered at least fifteen touches in every game he's played.

1540
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: Um Jones is in a tough spot here. He's he

1541
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: goes up against the Bears that ranked fourth against the

1542
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: run by Football Outsiders, allowing just seven total touchdowns to

1543
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: running backs. Um Jamal Williams on the bench, not getting

1544
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,719
Speaker 1: enough work for him to be startable and just getting

1545
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: enough to be a nuisance to Aaron Jones. Marcus Veiled

1546
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: a scantling by the way, also on the bench dealing

1547
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: with an achilles injury, and I think Lazard is going

1548
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: to eat his lunch. Okay, let's go to our next matchup,

1549
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: which is let me see New Orleans and Denver. Yeah,

1550
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: that's the one. Let's go Alvin Kamara just to be

1551
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: for him. He was clearly banged up last week with

1552
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: the foot injury, only played for of the snap share

1553
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: for the Saints, and he's not out of the woods yet,

1554
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: so I'm a little concern him for Camara and a

1555
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: bad matchup at well as well. Only two running backs

1556
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: have top thirty one receiving yards against the Broncos. Las

1557
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: Vegas did have four rushing touchdowns against Denver in Week ten,

1558
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 1: but outside of that game, Denver has only surrendered three

1559
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: other ground scorers two running backs all season, and only

1560
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: one lead back has top ninety rushing yards against Denver

1561
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: since Week three. So just to be for Kamara, Octavius

1562
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: Murray is on the bench, of course, Michael Thomas just

1563
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: to be for him here as well. A fifty two

1564
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: percent target share last week. Thought like that, definitely gotta

1565
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,560
Speaker 1: like that. His owners deserved that, Yep, languishing owners. But

1566
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: Denver has only allowed two wide receivers to reach seventy

1567
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: yards in the in their past six games, and most

1568
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,759
Speaker 1: often most often, Thomas will face a very difficult matchup

1569
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: in Bryce Callahan, who was Pro Football, focuses number two

1570
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 1: rated cornerback and is allowing a passer rating them just

1571
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: forty nine in his coverage. Ray b for Michael Thomas

1572
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders in a revenge game here, I'm pretty torn.

1573
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: At least four catches and five of his last six games,

1574
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,560
Speaker 1: including last week, he has double digit PPR points and

1575
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: all five of those games, but I gotta bench him here.

1576
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: With Taysom Hill at quarterback, I'm benching Jared Cook uh

1577
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: to just three catches over his last three games with

1578
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, hasn't topped two catches and seven of his

1579
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: last eight. So in the tight end wasteland, you thought

1580
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: you at least Jared Cook stay viable if healthy, but

1581
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: he is not this week. And and Taysom Hill of course,

1582
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: we got to mention him just to see though Denver

1583
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 1: has only surrendered one passing touch shown over the last

1584
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:34,759
Speaker 1: two weeks. But anything Hill does passing wise is gravy.

1585
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 1: It's all about the running, just like Cam Newton, and

1586
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: why don't you know it, Cam Newton based lebron Goes

1587
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,799
Speaker 1: this year had seventy six rushing yards and a touchdown

1588
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: against Denver. Sam Donald somehow, somehow had eighty four rushing

1589
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: yards dripped off like a seventy yards, But that was

1590
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: probably the game we were talking about before. So see

1591
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: for Hill. But of course he's got a upside. Who

1592
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: knows in this world? Over to the Denver side, definitely

1593
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: not a lot to talk about. I got Melvin Gordon

1594
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and Philip Lindsay just on the bench. It's that simple.

1595
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: Don't even mess with these guys. This week against New Orleans,

1596
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: allowing only three point five yards per carry to running backs,

1597
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: the only allowed five total touchdowns to the position, both

1598
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: rushing and receiving all season. Let me just jump in

1599
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: on Gordon Lindsay for a second. Their playoff run uber easy.

1600
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: If your trade deadline isn't come yet and you just

1601
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: want to have some match, some options and flexibility for

1602
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: runners in the playoffs. Those are guys you can get.

1603
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: We don't have time. But if you can only pick

1604
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: up one, and that's any next trade Kirk for both

1605
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: of them, stop um to the receiving game really quick.

1606
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 1: I like Tim Patrick a lot. I think he's startable.

1607
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: This week he gets to see the same simple out

1608
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver touchdowns this year. That's a lot, just

1609
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,879
Speaker 1: one over their last three games. But Patrick is startable.

1610
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: He has double digit PPR points in six of his

1611
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: last seven games. In five of those six games, he's

1612
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: either top one yards indoor scored a touchdown. So see

1613
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: for Tim Patrick. Yeah, six four to fifteen good size.

1614
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him more than Jerry Judy.

1615
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: I also give Judy a seat. I thought if he's out,

1616
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: your not playing him. If he suits up, be wary.

1617
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: You know, it's at eight targets in four straight games.

1618
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: But he'll see Chauncey Gardner Johnson in the slot a lot,

1619
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: who is yielding forty seven scoreless yards per game. But

1620
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,560
Speaker 1: as Scott said, he might not play. So definitely monitor that.

1621
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: And I'll give Noah fantasy. Only one tight end has

1622
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: top two catches or twenty two yards against New Orleans

1623
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: over the last four games. That was Jordan Reed. Fant

1624
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: is in that realm, but it's such a waste land

1625
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: that I'll give fantasy here when as fantasy Andrew lock

1626
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: my boy on the bench. Yeah, Judy is questionable. So

1627
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore takes on Pittsburgh and knows what is now a

1628
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday night game. Let's presume it's gonna happen. Scott came down. Yeah,

1629
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: so I'll start with the running game. Yeah, because it

1630
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: doesn't looks like RG three. Yeah, it looks like r

1631
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: G three is going to be the guy. We'll just

1632
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: start there. Whatever. The Steelers are top three against quarterbacks,

1633
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: running backs, and tight ends, so this is not a

1634
01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 1: good matchup for anyone on on the Baltimore side. The

1635
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers they're not top three against, but the wide

1636
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: receivers for Baltimore are not very good. They don't get

1637
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: it done. Griff and I have on the bench. Uh

1638
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. I am given a B grade though too.

1639
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: He had five six and a score last week playing

1640
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: the Snaps. Because Boil is out for the season, he's

1641
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: basically their only weapon. Uh So I think he's startable

1642
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: on volume here. Uh, he'd probably get a better grade

1643
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,560
Speaker 1: if it was, you know, a different situation. Uh. In

1644
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: the running game though, So mark Ingram and J. K.

1645
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: Dobbins have the potential, they have the possibility to play.

1646
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: We won't know that until possibly Sunday or Monday Tuesday.

1647
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: So at this point I'm going to assume they're out.

1648
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: If they are completely out and not playing, I'm giving

1649
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 1: Edwards a C grade. It's a tough fifteen plus touch

1650
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: volume ce because it's a terrible matchup. But Edwards is

1651
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: scored in every game, he had more than ten carries.

1652
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: He showed an ability to handle full load. He ran,

1653
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: He ran through Bitsburg in the earlier matchup this Yeah,

1654
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: both the end of ten and the end of nineteen

1655
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: as well. He did it. Uh yeah, So he's He's

1656
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: a guy that if he gets the volume, I think

1657
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: he's a C grade. If either of those two do play, though,

1658
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with the whole backfield. Uh.

1659
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: And and likewise, if they don't play, Hill is justice.

1660
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: Hill is on the bench. I know they haven't allowed

1661
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers have allowed thee the fewest running back receptions

1662
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: and the second fewest running back receiving yards. Terrible spot

1663
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: for that too. On the other side, I barely need

1664
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 1: to go over this because Big Ben's in a Johnson's

1665
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: in a clay Pools B. I don't care how tough

1666
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: the matchups is. Uh. Juju is a C because he's

1667
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: been practicing limited, he's injured, and if history has showed

1668
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 1: us anything with Juju, he tends to be more of

1669
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: a decoy when he's when he plays hurt, so I

1670
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: have a C grade on him. Johnson has ten plus

1671
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: targets in every full game over a hundred and back

1672
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: to back Claypool. Just that he can't stop scoring, isn't it?

1673
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: With feeling out, he might get a touchdown and tie

1674
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: feeling for the league lead at eleven at this point.

1675
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steers I mentioned this last week. They just

1676
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: keep throwing. In fact, the Seahawks and Bengals are the

1677
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 1: only two teams that pass more when they're tied or ahead.

1678
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Eric Hebron is the king of thirty to fifty yard games.

1679
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: He scores half the time. He's scoring three the last four,

1680
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: so I'm giving him a B grade here. James Conner

1681
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: C grade on volume. Tough matchup against the Ravens. But

1682
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: if he gets twenty fifteen Dwane Carries, I'm giving him

1683
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:24,560
Speaker 1: the sea. Yeah. That's what all he's good for is

1684
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 1: to see these days, and he needs all of that

1685
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: to do it because he's not producing effect efficiently. If

1686
