Speaker 1: are Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. Guys, Hello, Hello Governor.

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh no god, it's hard to start at the preview.

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: What's coming? Nothing's coming? Okay, copying at all? What is coming?

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Later in this show, take a chance on me. Nine

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup, many of whom

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: are available on the waiver way. We will take who

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: they are. You can play along with three tough questions

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: that I'll pepper my co host with, and premature speculation

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: where we give you guys to pick up this week

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: that everybody else is going to want to pick up

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: next week, but maybe on your team. Also, all of

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: the matchups broken down fantasy style, and that's the core

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: of the show. We do it every week, and we

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: begin with Chicago taking on Tennessee Brian Man. The entire

20
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Chicago roster is a disaster with injuries, COVID and I'm

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm very worried about points coming, even against a lukewarm

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee defense. Yeah, but this Titans team might be the

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: most ragged of them all. But we'll get to Tennessee

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: side in a minute. I'm like in a couple of

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Bears here, starting with David Montgomery. I'm going full Monty here.

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Really don't do it. Monty and a tough matchup against

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: the Saints last week. Ran for eighty nine yards. Not

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: super impressive, but eighty four of those yards are after contact.

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: That's very impressive. He's working hard. He's gonna have to

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: work hard. Missing too linemen in this game. That's maybe

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: three yeah, yeah that missing all those linemen for the

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Bengals really didn't work out for them last week anyway.

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Monty handling of the running back touches for Chicago and

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: unlike last year, the Titans are a cake matchup for

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: running backs, allowing one and thirty four combo yards in

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: the one point for total touchdowns per game to the position.

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: And the Bengals who just played the Titans were missing

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: their entire offensive line and three running backs scored a

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. Three running back touchdown. So I'm

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: giving Montgomery and a as well as Allen. Robinson might

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: be the best all round wide receiver in the NFL,

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: but just has never had a quarterback in his entire career.

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: He's on like the Andre Johnson Larry Fitzgerald trajector even

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: if Herman Moore going way back has not had a quarterback.

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: But who was throwing to Herman Moore back in the

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: old days, Scotty Mitchell, Yeah, you're right, I think it

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: was Scottie Mitchell. I don't think probably Charlie Batch maybe

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: a little bit there Rodney Pete yet made its way

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: to Detroit. Throw to him a little too late. But

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: back to a rob you can give him a second

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: in targets among all players. Tennessee allows two hundred plus

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: yards per game to wide receivers. That's the third most,

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: and the Titans have also yielded the six the most

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: red zone targets to wide receivers. So I love a

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: rob with an A, and I like Darnell Mooney. Canna

56
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: give him a ce here, rookie uh Mooney played sixty

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: five of seventy offensive snaps against the Saints last Sunday.

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: That the snap count. That's a higher percentage than Anthony

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: Miller ever had as a rookie last year. He's definitely

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: usurped Miller on the depth chart. Mooney has caught two

61
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: or more passes in each of his first eight games

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the only Bears rookie wide receiver to

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: ever accomplished that since the merger, and his usage has

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: been ramping up big time. And this is a great matchup.

65
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: So I like Darnell Mooney and we might talk about

66
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: him a little later in the show a little more

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: as well. Uh. Lastly, for the Bears, Jimmy Graham gets

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: a c incredibly touchdown dependent only has four red zone

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: targets over his last five games, so that doesn't work

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: for a touchdown dependent player, and may not even play

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: in this game. Might not play, but I think he

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: will suit up. The Titans have yielded the second most

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: red zone targets at tight ends and have faced and

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: basically I faced, no one good the position. The two

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: guys you've heard of, Noah Fanton Darren Fells both topped

76
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: eighty yards and scored a touchdown against Tennessee. So I'm

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna give Graham a see if he suits up, if

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: he's out. Of course you're gonna bench him, and Nick

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Foles almost gave him a cee Am I allowed to

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: give him a D? Are we doing that? Never came together? Sorry?

81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: I might have a couple of DS to thrill. How

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: did it not come together? Nobody had decided it didn't

83
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: come together, I said. I said to our listeners, listen,

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: if you really really want d's in the show, tell

85
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at Paul CHURCHI in. I got like

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: three people said yes, like twenty that said no, and

87
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: nobody else even bothered him answers. So that's that row?

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: Are you sure you were using your your burner accounters nothing?

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: No response to the d's All right, let's talk about

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: the Tennessee's players. The Tennessee players, So I didn't work

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Start with the king. He gets an A

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: has scored in five straight games. The Bears have given

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: up four point seven yards per carry to ap to

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: opposing lead backs in their four road games this year.

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: Even worse, they've allowed fourteen touchdowns running backs and then

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: the last ten games on the road, going back back

97
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: to last year. Of course you're going to start Derrick

98
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: Henry ben slapping a on him A J. Brown. This

99
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: is a bad matchup for A. J. Brown and company,

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: But I'm still getting a be because he's such a beast.

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: The Bears only allowing eleven and a half catches and

102
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty yards per game to wide receivers

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: and just two total touchdowns on the season to the position.

104
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: But Brown a tough guy to bench. Corey Davis also

105
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: a tough guy to bench. One of my sleepers from

106
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: the preseason, I believe of the last preseason show warm up,

107
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: that Hug. But he's on the bench this week. C

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Davis a bad matchup. I just can't go there, Hob.

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: But but hold onto him. He's healthy and he's looking good.

110
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: Blue chip prospect coming to fruition. John new Smith lastly, Yeah,

111
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: we'll have blue chips a little strong. He was the

112
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: first wide receiver taken in the draft like three years ago.

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: It's like a turquoise chip. You don't get much bluer

114
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: than that. He has. He has been You know who's

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: been blue? Anybody's drafted Corey Davis before this year. True,

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: but let's not worry about the past. What about your guy, Johnny? Yeah,

117
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: John JOHNU what's up with John John? Just to see

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: this week. Charge he's been blocking more than route running

119
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: as of late. But it's a good spot in a

120
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: good spot to bounce back. Opposing tight ends are averaging

121
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: more than five catches and fifty yards per game against

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: the Bears. But really, when all the past catchers have

123
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: been healthy, he's just kind of reverted back to this

124
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: blocking role because he's so good at it. He's a

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: great football player all around, but kind of such a

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: good athlete he is, but it's it's a good match

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: in the tight end waste land. He's more of a

128
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: high sea you can call him ecto cooler this week,

129
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: and then Ryan Tannehill got him on the bench. Chicago

130
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: allows just two forty passing yards per game and the

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: fewest passing touchdowns all around, so I'm benching Tannehill. Wow,

132
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: that's strong as good as Tannehill. I mean, he's like

133
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: fringe fourteen fifteen quarterback. Top quarterback this week, it's a

134
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee did Sorry. The Chicago defense is they're they're really

135
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: it's at super Bowl level. They could winnie super Bowl

136
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: with the defense they've got. They can't with the offense

137
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: they've got. Pittsburgh takes on Dallas, Matt and for Pittsburgh,

138
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: they just they just had a successful fantasy game overall

139
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Here comes Dallas. Yeah, it's a start everyone's

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: scenario for Pittsburgh because Dallas has allowed thirty four or

141
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: more points to five of their last seven teams they faced.

142
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's getting a B grade um in their last

143
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: seven games. The only quarterback not to throw for multiple

144
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: scores against the Cowboys was Daniel Jones. The issue is

145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: only one quarterback his top two hundred yards in the

146
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: last five games, and that kind of matches up with

147
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: what Ben Roethlisberger is doing. He's not throwing for high

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: yardage totals, but he's thrown for a few scores a game.

149
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: And it's pretty easy to run on the Cowboys too,

150
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: which is why I like James Conner with an A grade.

151
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are allowing a hundred and thirty nine yards

152
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: per game, five point oh yards per carrying a rushing

153
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: score per game, and Connor is one of six backs

154
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: in the league with thirteen or more carries from inside

155
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: the ten yard line, which is why he's averaging nearly

156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: a rushing score per game. Now, the wide receivers Deonte Johnson,

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: and I've got Deonte Johnson in so many leagues, and

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: it's just the highs and lows of Dante. Johnson's gonna

159
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: give me a coronery. You know, we got we got Johnson,

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: we got Chase Claypool, We've got Juju Smith Schuster. I'm

161
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: giving them all a B grade this week. Cop out. Yeah,

162
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just kind of playing the odds here. I'm

163
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: probably gonna get right, get it right on two of

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the three, and one of them is gonna see um.

165
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Outside of the slot. Just about any wide receiver has

166
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: beaten the Cowboys this year. They have allowed fourteen touchdowns

167
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: to the position in eight games, but weirdly, they're only

168
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: allowing twelve receptions to the position per games because to

169
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: pass on them. Yeah, it's the problem. Um. So, Deonta

170
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: played seventy seven percent of the snaps last week and

171
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: he didn't do well, But according to Establish the Run,

172
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: he's averaging over ten targets per game in the games

173
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: where he crosses the seventy snap count threshold, which he

174
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: might not have last weeks. He was he left last

175
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: week last week, so he absolutely has a good shot

176
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: of doing that again this week in ten targets for

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Deonte means he's an easy B. Claypool leads the team

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: in yards perception, are yards, and scores, and he's he's

179
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: the high volatile guy, high risk, high reward, so he

180
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: gets the B and Juju leads the team and targets

181
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: and receptions per game. Earlier this year, Tyler Lockett beat

182
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys for three scores from the slot, so I

183
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: can't count Juju out either. Eric Ebron is the last

184
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: guy I want to mention. He gets a C grade

185
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: scored last week, but I was surprised to learn that

186
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Ebron that big red zone threat. Remember he scored all

187
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: those red zone touchdowns for the Colt last year or

188
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: the year before. He has one catch or one target

189
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, from inside the ten yard line. This one target,

190
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: he did score on it, and Dallas is only allowing

191
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: four catches and half a touchdown per game to the

192
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: tight ends, so Abron's only a sea. Let's go to

193
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys side, where this is pretty easy. Ben Denucci,

194
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: it's more like a bench Denucci. Then that's right, that's right.

195
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Gilbert Great might be your starter. Well, his name is

196
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert or or Cooper Rush. They're still battling in

197
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: practice for the starting knot into the weekend. Um whatever

198
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: quarterback starts is on the bench. Well, Garrett Gilbert did

199
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: throw for three yards and two scores in his last

200
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: game for the Orlando Apollos, and that was against the

201
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Memphis Express in the A A F. The Steelers are

202
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher test than the Memphis Express. Uh.

203
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: They have not allowed a quarterback to hit the three

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: yard mark or three touchdown mark in a game yet

205
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: this year. And with Garrett Gilbert probably leaning like he's

206
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: the starter at all, the past catchers are on the bench,

207
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: Cooper Gallop and uh ceedee lamb, it's come to this.

208
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: We don't know who his favorite target is going to

209
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: be there on the fourth quarterback. You don't have to

210
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: explain to anybody who's seen a minute of Cowboys football

211
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: at since Dak went down why you can't start any

212
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: of the receivers. The Steelers are only giving up twelve

213
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: receptions per game to the wide receiver position. Divide that

214
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: by three, maybe four catches per game. Ezekiel Elliott looks

215
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: like he's coming down to a game time decision Jerry

216
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Jones says he's optimistic he'll play. He's optimistic. I have

217
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: him as just a C grade with that hamstring injury.

218
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: It's a terrible matchup. The Steelers are only allowing seventy

219
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. And there's another running back that

220
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: I might talk about in the next segment who's starting

221
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: to steal touches from Ezekiel Elliott. I don't know who

222
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: that could be. I don't know either. Dedroy takes and

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: so do our listeners. They know too. Dedry takes on

224
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota in a game in which the Vikings will be

225
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: missing their number one, number three, number four, and number

226
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: five cornerbacks. So Matthew Stafford, who we believe is going

227
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: to be able to play in this game once he

228
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: clears the crovid protocol, is sitting on an A grade here.

229
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer can only scotch tape this secondary together for

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: so long. They were aided last week by thirty winds

231
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. They will have no such no such

232
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: help this week inside US Bank Stadium. Over the past

233
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: month of games, Minnesota secondaries giving up almost three hundred

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns per game, and even without Kenny Golladay,

235
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: Stafford is sitting on a probably a strong game here

236
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: in vact. He was good last week, although in fairness

237
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I should mention Stafford struggled against similarly bad secondaries Jacksonville Atlanta,

238
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: where we teat him up and thought he was gonna

239
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: have a really good game. So it's not a sure thing.

240
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: But I'm still giving Stafford the A grade here and

241
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: an A grade to the guy I think could be

242
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: his primary receiver, t J. Hockenson. He'll see more balls

243
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: with Kenny Golladay out. The Vikings law the fourth most

244
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: catches per game to opposing tight ends, although the yards

245
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: are just sort of in the middle and they've only

246
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: given up two scores to the position. That said, every

247
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: competent tight end faced has put up decent numbers against

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Jonna Smith, Hayden Hurst, Robert Union have all

249
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: put up good numbers against Minnesota, So t J. Hockenson

250
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: a grade, Marvin Jones is a B grade. Without Kenny Golladay,

251
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones becomes a focal point of the passing game,

252
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: a spot in which he's generally not done very well in,

253
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: including the first couple of weeks of this year. Minnesota

254
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: has allowed one yards per game to opposing receivers, which

255
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: is a lot fourth most, and they've allowed multiple touchdowns

256
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: to receivers in four straight games. Two receivers are gonna

257
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: score here. Marvin Jones probably gets one of them. Could

258
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: another Marvin get the other one? And what are the

259
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: odds that two guys named Marvin would be the starting

260
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: receivers for a team And it's not nineteen fifty four?

261
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Marvin Hall will be the other starting receiver in place

262
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: of Kenny Golladay and the Vikings, as I mentioned secondaries

263
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: in tatters. Hall could be a dart throw here. I've

264
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: got a C grade on him. The only Vikings starting cornerback,

265
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Jeff glad you will be manning the slot. And we'll

266
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: talk about Danny Amndolan in a future segment here in

267
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: just a few minutes. Uh, let's go to the running game.

268
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift gets a C grade. A really disheartening box

269
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: score last week. Remember you had the big game two

270
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're like DeAndre Swift, He's finally here, it's

271
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: all coming together, and then last week he barely touched

272
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: the ball. This week he gets a Vikings defense that

273
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: really has been quite good. He's since being obliterated by

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry in Week three, the Vikings have allowed only

275
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: eighty three rushing yards per game and a single touch

276
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: now since Week three. Swift's a good receiver, and I

277
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: would like to say it's gonna catch a lot of passes,

278
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: but Vikings are pretty good there too. No back has

279
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: managed even thirty receiving yards against Minnesota. So just the

280
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: C grade on DeAndre Swift and a bench grade on

281
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson only startable if you are Brian Johnson and

282
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: you believe the Lions will fulfill a revenge narrative for

283
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Hey, I'm the one who said, played DeAndre

284
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Swift that blow up game, and now you're giving yeah,

285
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: you have to take a chance on me Adrian Peterson

286
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: in that game, and he scored. But among us, among

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: us thrives on the revenge narrative. I appreciate that I

288
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: gave you a little shout out. Now you did throw face.

289
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Vikings side. Dalvin Cookson obviously,

290
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna spend a lot of time and

291
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: to accept to say he's coming off a thirty carry game.

292
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get rested more in this game.

293
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised. We see a lot more Alexander Madison

294
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: in this one and a lot more passing, but I

295
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: can't put a starting grade on Madison in this one.

296
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: A grade for Dalvin Cook. Let's go to the passing game.

297
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: We'll start with Kirk Cousins, who gets to see It's

298
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: almost always about volume for Kirk. With requisite passes, Kirk

299
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Cousins as a viable starter. If the team does in

300
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: fact rest Cook some more, I think he will probably

301
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: get there. But the lines are bad run defense. They're

302
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: seeing the fourth most rushes, so I can't guarantee the

303
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: Cousins gets to an adequate level of volume when he

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: doesn't reach twenty six passes. Cousins average game one ninety

305
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: yards and one touchdown. Um Every quarterback other than Gardner

306
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Minshew has thrown multiple to touchdowns or top three yards

307
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: against Detroit, so you know there is some upside for

308
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Kirk this week, but I'm only going with the C grade.

309
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling gets a B grade. His light usage is

310
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: a concern, but he's got a very positive matchup that

311
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: will most often be against rookie Jeff Okuda, who Pro

312
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: Football focuses ranks as their one hundred fifth rated cornerbacks.

313
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: He's uh, he does have history on his side, feeling does,

314
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: having posted at least eighty yards or a touchdown in

315
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: his last five straight meetings with the Lions, and Detroit's

316
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: giving up the ninth most yards to receivers. Then there's

317
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, the last guy I'll mention in this matchup.

318
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Last week, Jefferson drew shadow coverage from Green Bay's best

319
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: corner That says a lot about Jefferson right that he's

320
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: drawing best coverage this week. If that were to happen here,

321
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: he will get Amani Horatio Amani Ruari. You totally made

322
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: that name up. There's no chance that's a real person.

323
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: He is their best cornerback and he's averaging thirty five

324
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: yards per game. Outside of Amnio Ruariuh. The Lion's secondary

325
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: has been brutal, and so if that guy is on theinland,

326
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: that would open up Jefferson that I'm kind of missing

327
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: the Horatio middle name. There was too many Domani's that name,

328
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. We'll be back more Fantasy Football

329
00:17:40,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Weekly coming up in moments Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,

330
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: a royalty free version of take a chance on me.

331
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: This is where we give you nine players you would

332
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: not normally start, many of whom available off the waiver

333
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: wid Every time we do this show, I forget that

334
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: this song is gonna come on, and I cringe a

335
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: little bit every time, a little bit inside every single

336
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: time we begin at the quarterback position, Brian, you take

337
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: a chance at the quarterback is Denver's Drew Lock at Atlanta. Now,

338
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: the Falcons have only surrendered one passing touchdown across the

339
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: last two games to Teddy Bridgewater and Matt Stafford combined,

340
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: but that was on also a combined forty pass attempts.

341
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: That's a bit of inadbiration. Before that, they were consistently

342
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: getting carved up through the air. And now this is

343
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: the analysis you're not gonna get anywhere else. And Drew

344
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Lock this week, guys, he's most famous for just nailing

345
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: young jeezys put on on the sideline. Okay, yeah, okay,

346
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: do you know what city was wrapping about Atlanta? Yep,

347
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: And he's gonna put it on him, Drew Lock at

348
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons in a point orgy. We'll talk about this game,

349
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: all right. Uh mine doesn't have anything to do with rap.

350
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: But Kyle Allen, in the last two games that he

351
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: started and finished, he's thrown exactly two touchdown passes in

352
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: each of those games. One of those games was against

353
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: these same New York Giants just three weeks ago, where

354
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: football team trusted him enough to have him throw the

355
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: ball forty two times and he racked up two yards.

356
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: And the Giants they're bad. They're allowing two d seventy

357
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: yards and almost two scores per game to the position.

358
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: So Kyle Allen, fire him up. I've got this pains me,

359
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: you know it does. Cam Newton. You guys know how

360
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: I feel about Cam. Since his hot start in the

361
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: season's first two games, he has been straight up garbage,

362
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: averaging one forty seven passing yards per game and a

363
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: quarter of a passing touchdown. You know how hard it

364
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: is to do that in today's n FL All but impossible.

365
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: And then, of course he had the game losing fumble

366
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: last week. Uh now, no, I'll mention Newton's legs have

367
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: helped except when they don't, and then you done anyway,

368
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: if you're never going to get a better opportunity than

369
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: this week against the Jets. You have to be playing

370
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: him as a running back? Really, you really are you? Really?

371
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: That's all you're doing here. Although the Jets have allowed

372
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: three hundred passing yards and or multiple touchdowns to seven

373
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: of eight opposing quarterbacks, that could mean upwards of like

374
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: two hundred passing yards that's right. And similarly, mobile quarterbacks

375
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and Josh Allen twice both top sixty rushing

376
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: yards and or a rushing touchdown. There we go running

377
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: back getting two passing yards. That's right. If not, now

378
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: when for Cam Newton and then drop him? Brian, let's

379
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: go to the running back position. Who has you take

380
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: a chance on the runner? Per usual, Christmas season has

381
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: come way too early, but Patrick Laird season has held

382
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: me even earlier. What I'd rather hear nails on a

383
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: chocolate because it's not Christmas time. It's not even cool.

384
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: You're the one who brought it up. I know I

385
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: was trying to make a joke and now it's failed.

386
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: Let's get back to Patrick. Larry failed because of Bell.

387
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: That's why I failed throughout your comic timing. Sorry, I

388
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: just say I hate Slay Bills. In November, man, what

389
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: can I say anyway back to the aforementioned Patrick Laird,

390
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: one of two healthy running backs or available running backs

391
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins in this game. The only other one

392
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: is Jordan Howard. Will talk about this matchup more later,

393
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: but Arizona very tough against the run. They've only allowed

394
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns and running backs and no loan back

395
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: as top seventy five yards. So I'm out on Howard entirely.

396
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: I like it. But there's a receiving angle here for sure,

397
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: especially with a rookie quarterback in two o'clock so outside

398
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: of the Jets game, and we just don't count the

399
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: Jets when it comes to opposing stats, right. The Cardinals

400
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: have surrendered running back catch totals of six, ten, and

401
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: seven in recent weeks, and again with a rookie quarterback

402
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: in his first road game, checked down to the running

403
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: back seam in order and very minimum for running backs.

404
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: Flared baby, your DFS angle, I like it, blared me

405
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: later on Sunday with is that a tipping situation? Yes?

406
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: I do need to set up a tip jar. We

407
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: do need to bring that back, right man? Oh yeah,

408
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: probably speaking of tippings, you take a chance of running

409
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: back I tipped off a little bit. Who that was?

410
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: It's Tony Pollard. Zeke's dealing with a hamstring injury. The

411
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys are absolutely brutal on the offensive side, especially in

412
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: the passing game. Right now, with their fourth quarterback starting

413
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: in six weeks, Pollard is quietly touching the ball more

414
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and more. Last week he got the rock nine times

415
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: times nine times. The week before he touched the ball

416
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: nine times, nine time, and the week before twelve times.

417
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: Uh Paul is especially good at catching balls out of

418
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: the backfield. With an injured left tackle, right tackle, center,

419
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: a hampert starting running back on a fourth string quarterback,

420
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: you'd imagine there'd be a few dump offs in this game.

421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: And are the Steelers a good matchup? No, absolutely not.

422
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: This may be one of the worst calls and take

423
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: a chance on me history. But pick him up and

424
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: throw him on the bench because he's going to see

425
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: an increase in touches throughout the rest of the year,

426
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: especially if the Cowboys go we're out, We're gonna rest

427
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: our bazillion dollar running back and start giving Tony Pollard

428
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: some more touches. Feel free to just hold that thought

429
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: until later in this show. Might take a chance We're

430
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: running back is lavy On Bell, who has done nothing

431
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: since joining the Chiefs, but this game could should be

432
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: the one in which he makes an impact in the

433
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: box score. Finally, the way that Bell is going to

434
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: help fantasy owners is receiving and goal line use. Which

435
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: team has allowed the most receptions to running backs Panthers.

436
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Which teams allowed the most rushing touchdowns Panthers. This is

437
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: set up perfectly for levy On Bell, for Clyde Edwards, Hilayer.

438
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: Finally have is a good game. And you know what,

439
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: he's not half bad start either. But Bell, who has

440
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: done nothing since joining the Chiefs, I think comes around

441
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: in this game. All right, you take a chance of me.

442
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: Receiver Brian Nelson are at lack. That's the Los Angeles Chargers.

443
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: Of course. Over the last four games, the Chargers have

444
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: surrendered fourteen catches wondering savvy eight yards and more than

445
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game to opposing wide receivers. Four of

446
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: the five wide receiver touchdowns surrendered during that span went

447
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: to boundary receivers. Someone from the Raiders who plays wide

448
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: receivers going going to have a good game, And I'm

449
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: going with a yes, he had zero catches on two

450
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: targets last week, but that was in the monsoon in Cleveland.

451
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm not reading too much into that. Prior to that game,

452
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: he was the only wide receiver getting consistent targets, the

453
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: only wide receiver getting targeted in the red zone for

454
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders. So I'm going Nelson Aguilar and I hate it,

455
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: but I'm going there. All these regretful rueful. The regretful

456
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: ones are the ones that pay off the most. I'm

457
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: telling you, sounds like you're dating history this one. I

458
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's very regretful for me. That's Cole Beasley. Uh,

459
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: top the hundred yards or scored in three of his

460
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: last five. I used them as to take it on

461
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: every one of those weeks. Yeah, I think you have.

462
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: That includes eleven catches just two weeks ago. Uh, he's

463
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: only fifty owned in ESPN leagues, and you can fire

464
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: him up against Seattle, who's giving up twenty two catches

465
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: and two seventy yards per game to the wide receivers

466
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: and slot guys have had eight receptions or more against

467
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: Seattle in three straight games. Hasn't every wide receiver at

468
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: that many? Pretty much it's unbelievable. The kinds of numbers

469
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Seattle is allowing through the air are the kinds of

470
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: numbers you hear like in week three, and then they

471
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: sort of settle down and you know they you know,

472
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: they come back to sort of some kind of normalcy.

473
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: It's nuts that we're still talking about it at the

474
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: midway point. I should note they get Jamal Adams back

475
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: this week, and they do have Carlos Dunlap coming into

476
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: the fold as a defensive end, so that might help

477
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: their pass rush a little bit. So the pass rush

478
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: has been awful, pretty bad, alright, our final take a

479
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: chance on the player. Danny Amendola of the Lions up

480
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Vikings are gonna missing four of their

481
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: top five cornerbacks. The one starter who's left standing is

482
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Gladney. Now Jeff gladen he has played both outside

483
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: and he's played the slot, but it doesn't even matter

484
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: if he plays a slot because he's played the slot

485
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: the last two weeks and he's given up four touchdowns

486
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: in his coverage in two games. He's giving up a

487
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: almost perfect passer rating of a hundred forty six in

488
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: his coverage. So Danny Amndola they take a chance of

489
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: the option. For those interested in finding one, Let's work

490
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: in one more matchup into this segment, and that is

491
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Denver taking on Atlanta. Brian, you already mentioned Drew Lock.

492
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: You want to reinforce that with some of some of

493
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: the receiving targets you like. Sure, I'm gonna start with

494
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: no fans, though, Nona, I'm gonna start with wide receiver.

495
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: That's his best playmaker. Given phanton a the Falcons have

496
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: allowed the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends and they've

497
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: given up the most catches to tight end. So this

498
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: is pretty something as we call that. But yes, Albert,

499
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna butcher this ugg bum. You know, Scotty Fish

500
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: was really good at pronouncing that one. I just call

501
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: him Albert. Oh how that's what I was gonna go with.

502
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Or Alack is a threat in the red zone. But

503
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: I'm still giving fan today. Jerry Judy canna give him

504
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: a b. Atlanta allows the fourth most PPR points per

505
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers, and Judy will draw a slot corner.

506
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah Oliver, who usually finds himself in a twist, finds

507
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: himself in a twist. He owns on three six passerading

508
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: his coverage that it's sad deep Oliver twist joke right.

509
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna make it through that, and

510
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: I feel I don't understand what you couldn't make it

511
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: because it's so awful but so awfully good. Tim Patrick

512
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: his hamstring has felt pretty awful, but it appears it

513
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: will feel good enough to play on Sunday. I will

514
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: give him a see if he suit some up. If

515
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't, Dave Shawn Hamilton's and kJ Hamler r d s.

516
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: Sorry they are start throws as you said Bylock might

517
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: take a chance, I mean quarterback quickly to the running

518
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: backs for the Broncos, Melvin Gordon getting give him the

519
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: b despite Philip Lindsay being the better football player, and

520
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: it's not close. Lindsey looks awesome, he does, but Gordon

521
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: continues to out snap and out touch Lindsay. Uh and

522
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: he saw twice as many targets as Lindsay last week,

523
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: which will played nicely against the Falcons, who have given

524
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: up the second most catches to running backs. A tough

525
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: matchup on the ground, though the Falcons have only allowed

526
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns two running backs and no Loane runner

527
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: has hit the ninety yard mark rushing, so I will

528
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: give Gordon a B and just to see for lindsay

529
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: despite you're gonna say so. He is a better running back,

530
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: but he's not involved in the passing games. He's not

531
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: great for PPR usage, but his running is so good.

532
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: And keep an eye on him. I already had like

533
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: some jammed toes that he suffered last week, and he

534
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: might not play like toe Jam told Jam, I don't

535
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: think that's gonna hold him out number toe Jam and earl, Oh, yeah,

536
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: you're kidding me, Early co ops, Let's talk about Todd

537
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Jam Todd Gurley. You can give him a be over

538
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: to the land of side. His usage was a little

539
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: alarming last Thursday, but be very fresh for this matchup

540
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: on ten days rest and over the last two weeks,

541
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Denver has allowed five point five yards per carry. They

542
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: are really missing nose tackle Mike Purcell, who they lost

543
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: two weeks ago and has lost for the season, so

544
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: that run defense not as good as it was to

545
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: start the year. Julio Jones gets an A in three

546
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: games without Calvin Ridley. Last year, Julio totaled forty eight

547
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: targets and in two of those three games, he had

548
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: double digit catches and cleared one hundred and thirty yards. A.

549
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: J Booyer will probably remain out for Denver. Yeah, Bryce

550
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Callahan him out? Has he been ruled out thanks charge?

551
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Bryce Callanan has been pretty good, but he's an unlikely

552
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: shadow candidate even if he did shadow Julio. Julio has

553
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: six inches and thirty pounds on Bryce Callahan, so it

554
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: was all the Tommy Callahan covering him. There you go.

555
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: I like that. Hey, Russell Gauge with Calvin Calvin Ridley out,

556
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: I can give him a see. Jamison Crowder, Keenan Allen,

557
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Tyree, killed Juju Smith, Schuster, Adam Humphries all

558
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: primarily run from the slot like Gauge. All had good,

559
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: good to great games against Denver. So a CEE for Gauge.

560
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst can give him a CEE. Not a great matchup.

561
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: Safety Justin Simmons is Pro Football Focus is highest graded

562
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: tight end defender, but Hurst as a safe floor with

563
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards into a touchdown in six of his

564
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: last seven games, and Matt Ryan lastly gets a sea

565
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: between Julio, Gauge and Hurst. He's got a pretty safe

566
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: floor in a plus matchup receiving wise for the running back,

567
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: so safety from Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan zero or one

568
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: touchdown pass in five of his last six games. I

569
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: know it's been bad, but I'm not trying to look

570
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,040

00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: to figure out how very good, very good at b

582
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: t x J and your mental name must start with

583
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: the T or n X or maybe maybe it's like texts.

584
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: It's text text, yeah, Brian text Johnson used to girls

585
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: back in college. It's were totally extremely totally extreme problem.

586
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: That line might have worked back then and Matt Triple

587
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: X was out the Xbox. None of that the X games.

588
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh you were a bad boy. Yeah, you know there's

589
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: an X and explosive output. There is that explosive output

590
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: for Matt Harrison. Speaking of Matt Harrison, you've got Seattle

591
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: taking on Buffalo. This has got sort of matchup of

592
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: the week written on it. DK Metcalf enters as fantasy

593
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Football's probably second hottest wide receiver, but he draws tramp

594
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Davious White, he does. I'm still gonna give Metcalf the

595
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: A despite that that matchup. They're hard to bench a

596
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: guy who's just physically dominating any corner he faces. Plus,

597
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: Metcalf has five inches and thirty pounds on White, So

598
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: he gets the A. And I'm giving Tyler Lockett something

599
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: better than an A. He's getting the fantasy art Vark

600
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: this week. That's the fantasy Oh yeah. The Bills have

601
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: only allowed six touchdowns on the season to wide receiver.

602
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: Four of them have gone of the slot. Plus they've

603
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: allowed to one yard games. You guessed it, both to

604
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: slot receivers on the year. So plus we usually see

605
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: a lock it week than a Metcalf week. We're we're

606
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: do for the lock it week now, so he's back.

607
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: He gets an A A art Vark Russell Wilson. Fantasy

608
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Fonzie eats fantasy Artwarks for breakfast, though, right, I think

609
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: we should have them fight they get out. Been here

610
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: for years in this fantasy Fonzie versus Shark. We already

611
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: know who would win that because he jumped the shark.

612
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Literally if fantasy Fanzi can't jump the art Vark though, no,

613
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: we've never seen him. Dorian got mad when I gave

614
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: a fantasy Fonzi out one time, and that's why the

615
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: fantasy art Vark existed. So you created this. This is

616
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: your doing. Fair enough, they'll they'll do it out one

617
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: of these. Can we find a fantasy Can we get

618
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Fonzi on our button? Bar Winkler, ah Um, Russell Wilson.

619
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: He gets an A Grade two. You don't bench a

620
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: guy who's averaging three point seven touched on passes per game.

621
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas looks like he's going to get another almost

622
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: full bell cow role this week, with Carlos Hide and

623
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: Chris Carson now ruled out, so DJ Dallas he spun

624
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: his way and that's see what I did there, Brian. Yeah,

625
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: to eighteen carries and forty one yards. That's last week.

626
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: That's not good. He did add five catches, and he

627
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: did score once on the ground and once through the air,

628
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: which saved his day. Now that the lead running back

629
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: to face the Bills has topped on yards, scored or

630
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: both in each of the last four games, so he's

631
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: got a chance there. Um, And that's it for the

632
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: Seattle side. Let's go over to the Buffalo side, where

633
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: I'll stay at the running back position. Let's talk about

634
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: Zack Moss and Devin Singletary. Let's start with the matchup,

635
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: because Seattle doesn't get run on all that much, only

636
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: twenty attempts per game for seventy four yards. Both are

637
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: amongst the league's lowest totals. They are susceptible to being

638
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: beaten by pass catching backs, though, So who wins that

639
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: battle between these two? That's kind of incomplete because Singletary

640
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: averages more targets per game than Moss, but it's four

641
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: versus two, and that's not significant enough for me to go, Oh,

642
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: single Tarry is the pass catching back here, so let's

643
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: go inside the ten Singletarry has seen twenty one percent

644
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: of the team's rushing attempts inside the ten. I bet

645
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: most of those were when when Zack Moss was out. Well,

646
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: Zack Moss and half as many games as Singletary has

647
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: thirty three percent of the team's rushing attempts. Now, Josh

648
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: Allen's got all the rest of them, by the way,

649
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: So the nod goes to Moss. I'm only going to

650
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: give him a C this week, though, while Singletary is

651
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: on the bench. Josh Allen gets an A grade. He's

652
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: playing Seattle. Stephan Diggs gets an A grade. Uh, he's

653
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: playing Seattle too. I have reason to believe Seattle plays

654
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: zone at the second highest clip amongst defenses and Digs

655
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: absolutely torches the zone. So he's going to have a

656
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: great day. Cole Beasley was might take a chance on

657
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: me wider Stever, I think John Brown is kind of

658
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: a desperation. No, I like he was almost might take

659
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: a chance of the receiver. He played John Brown a lot.

660
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: He played one of the Bill snaps last week, and

661
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: this is this is where he kind of comes back

662
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: in this one. So I think John Brown is definitely

663
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: playable too. I'll give him a C grade available on

664
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: waiver wires and most leagues got dropped. And then uh yeah,

665
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: I remember how good he was at the beginning of

666
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: the year. I think John Brown goes back to being

667
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: fantasy viable in many weeks the rest of the way.

668
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say about that. Okay, then

669
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: that means it's time for me to talk about the

670
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: Giants taking on Washington. We'll start on the Giant side,

671
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: where I don't have a lot of good things to say.

672
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: Vanta Freeman is gonna miss another game with an ankle injury.

673
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: Vanta who Freeman free? Sorry, Vanta Seamen is not getting

674
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: a C grade, He's getting a out to grade because

675
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: he's got an ankle injury. That means it's Wayne Gallman

676
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: and Alfred Morris and Dion Lewis, the same rotation of

677
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: crappy runners we saw on Monday Night. They're bad, and

678
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup against a team that's giving up

679
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: just three point eight yards per carry on the season.

680
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: No back is top sixty one yards against Washington since

681
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: Week three. They're all dead to us. Let's go to

682
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: the passing game. A couple of lukewarm starts. Sterling Shepherd.

683
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: In the past two games since returning from injury, he's

684
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: seen eighteen targets. He's turned him into two solid box scores.

685
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: But it's a tough matchup. Washington secondary has allowed the

686
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: third fewest yards and just three touchdowns to opposing receivers,

687
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: who most often face Ronald Darby, who brings little to

688
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: the table other than speed. So a C grade for

689
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, a C grade for Evan Ingram, who has

690
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: yet to score and now faces a Washington team that

691
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: hasn't allowed to tight end touchdown in three straight games

692
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: um including by the way to Evan Ingram three games ago. However,

693
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: Washington is still a bottom ten defense against tight ends,

694
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: allowing five catches and sixty yards to the position. So

695
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: you can start Ingram and a pinchon at tight end

696
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: who's not in a pinch. Golden Tate has possible disciplinary

697
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: actions because of him and his wife complaining about his

698
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: usage in the offense. You don't get that a lot.

699
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: But I like the wife sticking up. That's very nice.

700
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: There's one other who is the Dolphins to take wife?

701
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: Why can't he was a great corner too. I can't

702
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: think it is a good corner and and she made

703
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: Google worthy cakes. Let's put it that way. What is

704
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: that guy's name Google? Where the yes turned images on?

705
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say, And not in front of

706
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: the kids anyway. Golden Date has scored him back to

707
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: back games, but he's had just to one and one

708
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: receptions the last three weeks he's on the bench. Darius

709
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: Slayton has fallen under fifty six receiving yards and six

710
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: of the past seven games, scoring just once. Since his

711
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: big Opening Day game. Slayton overwhelmingly runs from the left

712
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: side of the field, where he matches up with Kendall Fuller.

713
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: And let me tell you a little bit about Kendall Fuller,

714
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: who should be in the conversation for defensive player of

715
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: the Year. Get this, He's allowing per game averages of

716
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: one catch, fourteen yards and zero touchdowns on the season.

717
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: That's Kendall Fuller's coverage right there. And why Darius Slayton's

718
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: on the bench. So if you google Dolphins cornerback cake

719
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: wife's birthday came, Oh my god, you know what. She's

720
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the Great British Baking Show. I

721
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: can tell you that much. Most he might be. Let's

722
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: go to the Washington side. We've got a B grade

723
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: on Terry McLaurin in two full games. Terry, with two

724
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: full games with quarterback Kyle Allen, he's targeted Terry McLaurin

725
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: a whopping twenty three times, which no, not yet Rich McLaren.

726
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't blame her for being h McLaren is parlayed

727
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: into an average of seven catches for eighty two yards

728
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: with one score, but he'll face shadow coverage from James

729
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: Bradberry is having a very strong year. Just three weeks ago,

730
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: it took twelve targets for McLaurin to get to seventy

731
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: four yards in the first meeting against Bradberry. Um Sticking

732
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: with the passing game, Kyle Allen gets a C grade

733
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: in his first two games, as I mentioned, to serviceable

734
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: fantasy games with multiple touchdowns in each, the first of

735
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: which was against this opponent, New York, and he posted

736
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: two yards two scores. I already mentioned McLaurin. Tough matchup,

737
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: but startable, so we'll give the C grade to Kyle Allen.

738
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: Also C grade to another of his targets, Logan Thomas,

739
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: You're in a pinch at tight end. Like everybody else,

740
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: the Giants are decent against tight ends, allowing just two

741
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: scores on the season, but one of them went to

742
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas in Week six. The other tight end touchdown

743
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: went to Gronk last week. I was just last week.

744
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: So maybe we can get Thomas to get this. Thomas

745
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: is getting sixty percent six sorry, sixty seven percent of

746
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: the team's targets from inside the ten yard line. I

747
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: wonder where you got that stat. I don't know. We'll

748
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: go with that. It was for me. Nicely done, Uh,

749
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas, you say, let's go to the running game.

750
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson C grade now before your member there by.

751
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: Last week, before the bye, Gibson had a monster game

752
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: of almost one hundred thirty yards in one touchdown in

753
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: a rare lopsided win for Washington. We're gonna get a

754
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: healthy dose of him in this game too. But the

755
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Giants have turned into a pretty good run defense over

756
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. They haven't allowed to single back

757
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: to go to more than fifty two rushing yards. Gibson

758
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: might help through the air a little bit. Giants are

759
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most receiving yards per game to the position.

760
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: But that's really J. D. Mcsucket's calling cards. So I

761
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: think Gibson chips and just a little bit of work

762
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: through the air. I see a game that feels more

763
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: like eighty total yards Frantonio Gibson and probably no scores,

764
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: and then yes, you can start j D. Mcsuckett. You

765
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: gotta find your spots. But as I just mentioned, this

766
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: is a team that's struggling against running backs through the air,

767
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: allowing nearly six receptions and fifty yards per game, fourth

768
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: most to opposing running backs. So we'll we'll give him

769
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: a C grade as well. Um, let's see, I think

770
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: we had time for one more segment. Yeah, we're gonna

771
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: try to fit it in. You're gonna have to be

772
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: quick about it. Las Vegas taking on the Chargers, Brian,

773
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: We got about two and a half minutes, all right.

774
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: I'll give Josh Jacobs a be even though he's been

775
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: brutal outside of the opener and last week, he's kind

776
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: of book ended his season with two good games with

777
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of bad ones in the middle. But the

778
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: Raiders O line is coming to Fruition, probably the healthiest

779
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: it's been all year, and the Chargers have also allowed

780
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: the third most catches to running backs on the season,

781
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: and I've given up at least a hundred nineteen combo

782
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: yards or a touchdown to the last five backs they face.

783
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: So hopefully Jacobs can keep it rolling. It seems like

784
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: the Gauntlet part of his schedules in the past, so

785
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: stick with Josh Jacobs. Darren Waller gets an a Chargers

786
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: at bottom ten against tight ends. They've allowed five touchdowns

787
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: to the position position, most of which have come in

788
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: the red zone. Or Waller is top ten and targets

789
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: catches and target share in the whole league. So in

790
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: a for Waller, Nelson Aghil are the only wide receiver

791
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm starting for the Raiders. He was might take a

792
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: chance on me, receiver Derek Carr. I was close to

793
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: give him to see. I love Waller here, kind of

794
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: like Aglar, but I don't see a real ceiling for car.

795
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: This has got to be a Josh Jacobs game where

796
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: they keep air bear off the field. The air bear.

797
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: So let's get to the air bear. The air bear is.

798
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: He's not in the air. He's on the ground right now, alright,

799
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: he's a bear. Of course, he's not the air well

800
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: He's the air bear. How silly, aren't you? He's literally

801
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: the air bear. So stupid to think that the air

802
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: bear would be in the air where the ball goes. Anyway,

803
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was like like the air corriole. Whatever

804
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: you blew that one, not me. Herbert gets in A

805
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: has tossed at least three touchdowns in four straight games,

806
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: with at least two two hundred sixty passing yards in

807
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: each of those. Las Vegas ranks dead last and pass

808
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: coverage A dead last and pass rush by Pro Football Focus.

809
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen Easy a LaMarcus Joiner is a joke of

810
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: a corner Mike Williams gets to be. Las Vegas has

811
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: surrendered four scorers to opposing receivers in their two games

812
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: prior to the Monsoon game last week, so they are

813
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: not a great secondary hunter. Henry A. B. The Raiders

814
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: are around league average against tight ends, but Kelsey and

815
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: Gronk both shredded him. He is sort of in that

816
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: territory still. And lastly, Justin Jackson, with the Sea in

817
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: Vegas last four games, no going back as top sixty

818
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: six rushing yard is not a great matchup and something

819
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: called Troy Mean Pope keep stealing touches from Jackson, but

820
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: he is startable and Josh kellyanish out not even a

821
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: factor at when we come back. Three touch Kelly eaten

822
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: by an air bear. Eaten by an air bear. Three

823
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: tough questions for a panel of experts play along and

824
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly resumed. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. This

825
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: is a game we like to call three tough questions.

826
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: I will Pepper, my co host, with the aforementioned three

827
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: tough questions you can play along to if you can

828
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: go three and oh, tough question number one. Christian McCaffrey

829
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: was universally selected as the first overall choice in our

830
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: preseason fantasy drafts. So now that he's healthy, will Christian

831
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: McCaffrey be the highest scoring runner from this point forward?

832
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: So the main competition is obviously Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara,

833
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: and King Henry moving forward from mcmccaffrey and at three.

834
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna break this down from a reality football

835
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: perspective and not so much fantasy. The Panthers are three

836
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: and five. They're on the outside looking in when it

837
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: comes to the playoffs. If they can't fight their way

838
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: into playoff relevancy in the next six weeks. There's no

839
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: point in running McCaffrey into the ground after paying him

840
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: a ton of money in a lost season. So the

841
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: next six games where the Panthers start at Kansas City

842
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. That's already two losses right there, and also

843
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: bad matchups, and then Detroit, Minnesota, Denver, maybe they win one,

844
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: and then at Green Bay a good fantasy matchup. But

845
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: after six games they're under five hundred. They're out of

846
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Mike Davis has proven an able runner, So

847
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: keep McCaffrey fresh. You paid him a ton of money.

848
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: He's not gonna see the touches to warrant being the

849
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: top fantasies or moving forward from the running back position,

850
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: So I say no, all right, will Christian McCaffrey be

851
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: the highest scoring runner from this point forward? And Brian

852
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: took a lot of my talking points, but I will

853
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: note that this is the same injury that made se

854
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley look like a mere mortal last year when

855
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: he came back from this injury, so it's not particularly

856
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: perfect as far as him being a complete healthy guy

857
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. So I think that he

858
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: probably finishes in the top ten. But like Brian said,

859
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: we could be looking at some big time stud running

860
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: backs getting rested down the stretch this year, and what

861
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: is a lost season In a season where there's no

862
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: fans in the stands, there might not be anything for

863
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: for the owners and the general managers to go. Yeah,

864
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: I want Christian McCaffrey to play in this last season.

865
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: So sa Kwon Barkley missed four games with his injury,

866
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: his high ankle sprain. Caroline arrested Christian McCaffrey seven weeks weeks,

867
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: which is the which is the perfect thing to do,

868
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: because it doesn't make sense to bring somebody back on

869
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: this injury they're not effective that you have to be

870
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: back to basically one, which is where we believe. Christian

871
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is practiced all week. At the ten game layoff

872
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: from the last one, we all we all feel like

873
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: he's in very good shape, totally fresh legs right now

874
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: because he's basically hasn't used this year. What holds him

875
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: in the way from being the highest scoring running back

876
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: is the schedule. He's got a bye week left that

877
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: the others don't have. He's got a tough schedule including

878
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: next week against the league's best run defense Tampa, and

879
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: then shortly after that a suddenly competent Vikings run defense

880
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: and a good Denver run defense after that. So the

881
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: schedule doesn't work in his favor as well as it

882
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: does for Cook and Camara and Henry, so he's unlikely

883
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: to be the highest scoring running back from this point forward.

884
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: Tough question Number two is Travis Kelsey the most valuable

885
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: player in Fantasy football? Matt Um. To be the m

886
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: v P in fantasy you have to have the biggest

887
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: delta between you and the next player down in your

888
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: position group, and according to Fantasy Football Today, the biggest

889
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: gap between the first and second place player at any

890
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 1: position is that between the top wide receiver in football,

891
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: Richie James and Davante Adams. Yeah, Richie James and his

892
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: Thursday night blow up on is his only game he's

893
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: played this year. On a per game basis, he's the

894
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in football, But second most is Travis Kelsey,

895
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: who leads the league UH leads the now out for

896
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: the season George Kittle by two points per game and

897
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: PPR leagues and he's out, so if you go down

898
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: one more, he leads Darren Waller by four points per game.

899
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: So I think Travis Kelsey, in a position that we

900
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: thought was so deep, it's now insanely shallow. Travis Kelsey

901
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: is the most important and valuable player in fantasy right now.

902
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: If I'm like doing a draft starting right now, which

903
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: you can still do on guy team leagues dotcom, um um,

904
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm not taking Kelsey first. I'm still taking one of

905
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the bigger running backs. Matt made very good points, but

906
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: the four points between Kelsey and Waller is not enough

907
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: for me than the twenty plus that you get from

908
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: Kamara and Cook and Henry and soon to be Christian McCaffrey,

909
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: who are going to outscore every other running back by

910
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: at least five points bringing on a per game basis.

911
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: So I'm still going with the running backs, maybe even

912
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. But Kelsey is not the most valuable player

913
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy football to me. But that's because I'm the

914
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: tight end whisper and I can stream anytime. If you

915
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: showed me, just showed me all the rosters in your

916
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: league and said pick the team that's gonna win, the

917
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: first thing I would do is I'd find Travis Kelsey

918
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: on those rosters, and I would look at Kelsey and

919
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: the team around Kelsey, because if you can tell me

920
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: there's a qualified team around Kelsey, that's the team I'm picking.

921
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: As you mentioned the Delta, it's really all for most

922
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: valuable player. I did not say highest scoring players. Should

923
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: notice I said the most valuable player. Every word counts in.

924
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: He is very tricky assignment. These are They are tough questions.

925
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: Um Every week, half to two thirds of your league

926
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: is bracing for a zero at tight end. Ask anybody

927
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: who plugged in Robert Tunyan on Thursday night, which many

928
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: people did. We have thousands of listeners right now who

929
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: plugged in Robert Tounyan and got one catch for five yards.

930
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: That's what most of your league is experiencing right now.

931
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: There are exactly four quasi reliable tight ends. That's it,

932
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: and the Delta is gigantic. By ESPN scoring, Kelsey scored

933
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: a third more Fantasy points than any other tight ends

934
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: still playing with Kettle out, and in a scoring system

935
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: in which Kelsey has scored one points this year, the

936
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: next closest tight end has sixty. Nobody else is close

937
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: to that ratio except Davante Adams at the wide receiver position.

938
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: I could find help there. Yes, Travis Kelsey is the

939
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: most valuable player in Fantasy. Question number three, Jase Edmonds

940
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: is expected to start for the Cardinals. Well, he is

941
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: going to start? Will he finished the year as an

942
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: RB one, r B two flex or bench Brian, I

943
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: just want to talk about e p A for a second,

944
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: and not the Environmental Protection Agency. It's expected points added,

945
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: which is a football metric. You don't have a whole

946
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: lot of time to really dive in, but it weighs

947
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: the value of a player what he brings to your

948
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: football team. And you take the e p A when

949
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: you're on the field and when you're off the field,

950
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: and then you find the delta and you just see

951
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: how good you are a football. Chase Edmonds is way

952
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: better than Kenyan Drake at football. Kenyan Drake's e p

953
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: A per play point negative point zero six. I'm pretty

954
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 1: sure you don't want to be negative. He takes zero

955
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: six expected points added per play. Chase Edmonds is plus

956
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: point zero four. And now when you start piling on

957
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: the plays, you're piling on the points. The schedule is

958
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: an ideal for Edmonds, But I don't see him what

959
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: letting this job go. Drake might factor in a little

960
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: bit when he's healthy in a few weeks, and for

961
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: that reason, I'll just say RB two and not RB

962
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: one for Edmunds. But this is Chase Edmonds backfield moving forward.

963
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: Quick question on this this e p a thing you

964
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: talked about the delta for these players, and every player's

965
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 1: got this delta. What would would Matt Burke have a delta? Burke? Sorry, wow,

966
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: I like that. Sorry, my Mike wasn't on. I gave

967
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: you an approving thank you. I appreciate that. Okay, So

968
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,919
Speaker 1: the answer you gave was r B two, r B two, Matt,

969
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: is Chase Edmonds going to finish the years in RB one,

970
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: RB two flex or bench. He's super talented. He's got

971
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: one huge problem for a running back. He does not

972
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: get the ball near the goal line. So far this season,

973
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: with Drake being almost completely ineffective and injured off and on,

974
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: Edmonds has only managed exactly one carry from inside the

975
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: ten yard line. Kenyan Drake has thirteen and Kyler Murray

976
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: as seven. When your own quarterback is vulturing your touchdowns,

977
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: you have to score from distance and that hurts him

978
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: a ton. And while he's very talented. I think he's

979
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: only a flex the rest of the way. Don't you

980
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: think he's going to take Kenyan Drake's goal line rushes?

981
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: Not if Cliff Kingsbury just keeps handing Kenyan Drake the rock,

982
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to keep giving. If they're

983
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna have Kenyan Drake play the Matt p P, how

984
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: are how are they going to put him on the field.

985
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: If Brian says he's he's bad on on like yards

986
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: per play, well, we're you're gonna keep him out between

987
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: the twenties. You're gonna put him in at the goal

988
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: line for somehow you think he's good. You thought he

989
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: was thirteen to one over Chase Edmunds so far this year, Man,

990
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're talking about. Any thirteen

991
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: to one carries inside the tent, carries inside the tent.

992
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's past, that's in. That's in the past.

993
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: When Drake is no longer the starter, which is going

994
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: to happen beginning this week and coaches totally changed their

995
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: mind going to go back running style. Edmunds has been

996
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: better than Drake at everything full two yards per carry,

997
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: better better receiver with quadruple the receptions and receiving yards.

998
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: His Pro Football Focus ranking is eleventh for Chase Edmunds,

999
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: forty five for Drake. Easy game against Miami this week,

1000
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: which will boost Chase Edmunds his status, then a favorable

1001
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: game after that against Buffaloes run defense. At that point,

1002
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: he solidifies this thing and he remains the first guy

1003
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: to go to and will be. Now, he's not an

1004
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: elite runner, and this is why it's not an RB one.

1005
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: He's not Dalvin Cook, he is not Jase Edmonds, is

1006
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: not Alvin Kamara. He's not He's not King Henry. He

1007
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: is a good back, not a great back. Drake will

1008
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: still factor in some He is going to be an

1009
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: RB two, you know for somebody who got the question right?

1010
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: Why are you battling me so I got wrong? Got

1011
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: it wrong? Yeah, I got it right, always like Brian Better.

1012
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: New England takes on the New York Jets Matt and

1013
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: for New England, we've already talked about out some a

1014
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: handful of players here, including Cam Newton, who was might

1015
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback. Yeah, we did talk

1016
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton. Um I don't like him as much.

1017
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: As you do. I will note that I'll give him

1018
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: a C grade here. Still it's the Jets. Yeah, he's

1019
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 1: got no wide receivers. He's tied for the fewest past

1020
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: attempts inside the ten yard line among quarterbacks who have

1021
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: started at least six games, with only six attempts. That's gross.

1022
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: I think that the Jets are the team that you're

1023
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: going to run against. That's why Damian Harris is the

1024
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: only Patriots starter on my on my match up here,

1025
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: and I'm giving him a B grade. He's averaging five

1026
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: point seven yards per carry, double digit rushing attempts, and

1027
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: three of the four games he's played this year top

1028
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, and two of those and scored last week.

1029
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: The Jets are allowing yards per game. I think this

1030
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: is a slow plotting, low scoring game, and they just

1031
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: give Damian Harris the ball over and over again. I

1032
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: like Harris a lot this week as well, although let's

1033
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: note Sony Walkman back and active for this team, but

1034
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: they can't give him. Damian Harris has been the only

1035
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: good thing the Patriots have had all year. I know,

1036
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: particularly on offense, you would think, but Bill Belichick is

1037
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: inscrutable with his running backs and nothing would surprise us.

1038
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: Did you know the starting wide receivers for the Patriots

1039
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: this week will be Jacoby Myers, who's owned in two

1040
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: point four percent of ESPN leagues, and Demere Bird, who's

1041
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: owned in one and neither have scored a touchdown this year. Yeah,

1042
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: let's go to the Jet side. Uh. Sam Donald had

1043
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: another m r I this week on his throwing shoulder

1044
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: and he's been limited all week. The Jets have a

1045
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: bye next week, so they could conceivably rest him and

1046
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: play Joe Flacco, or they could play injured Sam Donald,

1047
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna play Donald because they don't

1048
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: want to win because they still have Adam Gaze as

1049
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: their coach. It's a bench grade for either. The Patriots

1050
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: have not allowed a passing touchdown in three weeks and

1051
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: are only allowing two six yards per game in that span.

1052
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: Braxton Arios has more Sam Donald targets than Jamison Crowder,

1053
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: and with Crowder and Breshad Pereman looking both doubtful to play,

1054
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: he's probably the top pass receiver for him this week.

1055
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: It's also a revenge game for Braxted Burrios, who was

1056
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: drafted by the Patriots. If you're going to start a

1057
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: Jets wide receiver, it's Burrios over Mims. But we need

1058
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: a grade lower than a seed to classify barriers. I'm

1059
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: going to give him a J grade. Yep uh. Michael

1060
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: Perrine and Frank Gore are the running backs here. Parian

1061
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: had more snaps last week, but they still had the

1062
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: exact same number of touches with only ten. Parian looks

1063
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot more spry here, though. I'm going to give

1064
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: him a C grade, as if the Jets will score

1065
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown, it will probably be him. The pat saw

1066
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: split backfield last week with the Bills backs. They each

1067
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: had four team carries and each of them went over

1068
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: eight yards, So Parrian could possibly manage like sixty yards

1069
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: in a score here. So that's why he gets the

1070
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: C grade. And the best play of the game, by

1071
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: the way, Patriots defense. It is, by the way, available

1072
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: in many leagues. A lot of people have cut the Patriots.

1073
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: You remember at this time last year, the Patriots defense

1074
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: was like the I don't like. The tenth highest scoring

1075
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: fantasy player was the Patriots defense. Yeah, what a difference

1076
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: of year makes. It's not quite like that anymore. If

1077

1084
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: chart just hit yesterday and it's it's coming up on

Speaker 1: trade deadline and your dynasty leagues right now, so you

1086
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: probably need to start looking at how your team is

1087
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: going to go. Are you are you a contender? Are

1088
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: you building for next year? The trade value chart will

1089
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: help you all right, chock fantasy dot Com. Carolina takes

1090
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: on Kansas City. Christian McCaffrey's back. Uh. They say they're

1091
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: going to give him a full workload, and he's right

1092
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: back to being the same obvious a that he was

1093
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: back in Week one. Kansas City is a far worse

1094
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: run defense than past defense, and Carolina will run for

1095
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: as long as this game is close, and mostly they

1096
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: do keep their games fairly close, so hopefully that will

1097
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: be the case here in an A grade for Christian McCaffrey,

1098
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: who doesn't need more explanation than that. Teddy Bridgewater is

1099
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: on the bench. You gotta pick your spots with the

1100
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: ultimate game manager, and a difficult matchup against a very

1101
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: good secondary is not one of them. The Chiefs ranked

1102
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: seventh and passing yards allowed third in passing touchdowns allowed,

1103
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Bridgewaters receivers have very tough individual matchups, uh and and

1104
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: that does include last week's hero Curtis Samuel, who was

1105
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: also on the bench. He is going to frequently face

1106
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: off against Tyron Mattheo and he's one of the best

1107
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: tacklers in any second area across the league, and he's

1108
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: giving up just thirty yards per game in his coverage.

1109
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: So no Curtis Samuel in this one for my taste.

1110
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson is up at a B grade. He's drawn

1111
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: at least eight targets and posted at least seventy four yards,

1112
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: and four of the past five games he has the

1113
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: team's most favorable matchup against cornerback chart Various Ward, who

1114
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: is allowing a passer rating of one eight and he's

1115
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: given up three touchdowns in his coverage. Bad news for

1116
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: d J. Moore. He's got four or fewer catches in

1117
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,919
Speaker 1: five of the last six games, so he's been lightly

1118
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: used anyway, and volume could be an issue again this week.

1119
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs are seeing the fifth fewest passes, just

1120
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: thirty two per game, which is weird that you would

1121
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs always ahead, so teams will be passing

1122
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: on him all the time. But really, because the Chiefs

1123
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: are so dangerous, teams run the ball as long as

1124
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: they can, and they're not very good against run anyway.

1125
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Moore's got a tough coverage against self described marijuana enthusiast,

1126
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: but Shot Brilon, who is allowing eleven scoreless yards per

1127
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: game and his coverage this year, that's it seems like

1128
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: the green stuff's working for Apparently it is, uh, Mike

1129
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Davis dead to us now. He probably drops down to

1130
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: the tenent usage level and that's not enough. And I

1131
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: think other than just holding him as a handcuff, you

1132
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: can drop Mike Davis. All right, let's go to the

1133
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City side. Patrick Mahomes Entyreek Hill get a grades,

1134
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: but beware the faith. That's befallen. Several other good passing

1135
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: receiving tandems against Carolina. They're so easy to run upon

1136
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: that quarterbacks get minimized. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging just two

1137
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: d yards and one point one touchdowns against the Panthers.

1138
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: That's it now. All that said, Clyde Edwards A Laire

1139
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: and Levian Bell have not been end zone magnets or

1140
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: even usage magnets, so maybe it's not gonna go that way.

1141
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: And I still have a grades on Mahomes and Hill

1142
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and just I'm just throwing it out. There is something

1143
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: to be aware of. There's been a lot of good

1144
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: matchups against Carolina in the past that have not panned

1145
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: out for the passers. Travis Kelsey is an obvious a

1146
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to spend a lot of time

1147
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: on him, and we've already broke him down earlier in

1148
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: this show. Let's talk about the running backs, and it's fascinating.

1149
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: Levian Bell was might take a chance on me running

1150
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: back earlier in the show. But let's talk about Clyde

1151
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Edwards A Laire for a minute. Carolina has allowed ten

1152
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: running back scores in their seven games. They're giving up

1153
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: almost five yards per carried to the position, and they're

1154
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: giving up the most receptions to running backs. The concern

1155
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Here's volume Clyde Edwards a layer averaging just nine touches

1156
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: per game since Levian Bell came to the team. All

1157
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: O the weird part about these last two games with Bell,

1158
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: they've also been blowouts at half and neither back's gotten

1159
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: any work. I think this one stays tighter, and we're

1160
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna see more running in this game. Both guys have

1161
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: been so lightly used, they have such fresh legs. I

1162
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see enough of Clyde Edwards a layer

1163
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: and laby On Bell for them to both be C grades.

1164
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman and DeMarcus Robinson are dart throws in most games,

1165
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: but this just doesn't seem like an ideal one here

1166
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: for the reasons I mentioned earlier, with the de emphasized

1167
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: passing game and a possible emphasis on the running backs.

1168
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next matchup, which is Miami taking

1169
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: on Arizona. Brian, you already told us Patrick Laird was

1170
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: your sneaky dolphin take a chance on me runner, which

1171
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: you validated it. I'm kind of buying into that vibe.

1172
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: What about the passing game to looked, that's the end

1173
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: and that's it. So but yeah, Davante Parker, Preston Williams,

1174
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Mike Sicky, all guys who would normally get a raid

1175
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: or at least some consideration most weeks. Yeah, absolutely none

1176
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: this week to a Tongung gole Via making his first

1177
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: road start of his career, only his second start. Of course,

1178
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have to do much last week, and when

1179
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: he did, he didn't look sharp. So I'm not liking

1180
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: him on the road. So do you guys stand I'm

1181
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: still rostering Stu Beard in a bunch of leagues because

1182
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I had him in a bunch of leagues, because you

1183
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: guys know how I feel about it. I'm still holding

1184
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: him just in case. Well, he doesn't have a beard anymore.

1185
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: I know he's got short short stubble. There's a there's

1186
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: there's a baseball player named Drew stubs stubs consider consider

1187
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: that enshrined until he grows that thing back out. All right,

1188
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: sounds good? Uh? Some of you might be tempted to

1189
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: play Jordan Howard, but in take home I mentioned this,

1190
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: don't do it. Arizona very tough on the ground against

1191
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: running backs, have only allowed three rushing touchdowns to the

1192
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: position and no loan back as top seventy five rushing

1193
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: yards and he the miracle goal line plunge plunge Jordan Howard,

1194
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: that is so Patrick Laird, You're only stortable Dolphin this week.

1195
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Over the Arizona side, Jase Edmonds, who we just talked

1196
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: about in great detail, gets an A and this one

1197
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: only two opposing running backs have totaled six at least

1198
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: sixteen touches against Miami, which is kind of nuts. But

1199
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: both of those backs scored twice and combined to average

1200
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen combo yards. Edmunds will get that

1201
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: volume in this game. And but by the way, where

1202
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: the hell is Eno Benjamin? My boy, he can't he

1203
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: can't even see the field. I don't even see the

1204
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: practice field at this point. Is he still on the team?

1205
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: But I almost prospect him. But I'm very disappointed in you,

1206
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, to the passing game for the Cardinals,

1207
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins gets an A. The Dolphins are allowing the

1208
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: fifth most yards to wide receivers and shut down corner

1209
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Byron Jones is not doing his job. Both both Stefon

1210
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: Diggs and dk met Metcalf top the century mark against

1211
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Jones and h Hopkins is certainly on their level, if

1212
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: not above it. Christian Kirk can give him a B

1213
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: at least fifty five yards and touchdown in five straight games,

1214
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: so he's established a safe floor for himself and against

1215
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins secondary receivers like Robert Woods, Kendrick Born, David Moore,

1216
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: John Brown, they all scored touchdowns and three of those

1217
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: four also cleared eighty yards. Kendrick Borne was the one

1218
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 1: who did not, so a safe B for Christian Kirk

1219
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: and a very safe A for Kyler Murray. What the

1220
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins have done recently against quarterbacks is irrelevant because we're

1221
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: talking about Joe Flacco, Jared Goff and whatever San Francisco

1222
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: has thrown out there. We're not talking We're not talking

1223
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: about actual quarterbacks. With those guys, Murray is more than

1224
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: an actual quarterback. Has totaled at least two at least

1225
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in every game. In fact, he's had more

1226
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: than two total touchdowns in all but two games, at

1227
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: least three touchdowns and all but two games so far

1228
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: this year rushing in passing, So in a for Murray,

1229
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Murray might be the best fantasy quarterback the rest of

1230
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: the way. Hey church before we move on to the

1231
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Houston Jacksonville game. Yes, I think that this game might

1232
01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: have been the one that was going to be in

1233
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: London originally scheduled. So I invited friend of the show,

1234
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney to let me go get him. He's out

1235
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 1: in the hallway, all right, thank you. So I hate

1236
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: this guy because I have to translate for him. Yeah,

1237
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: because yeah, we never know what he's saying. Na nab

1238
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: some salty rumphs and Rupert's fingers. Make sure you have

1239
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: some posh legs, sleeves on, shut your sauce box, sluice

1240
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: your gobs with your favorite chuckaroo. It's high time for footy.

1241
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little rusty. I think he said something about

1242
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: pretzels hot dogs, and I think i'm pants. I'm jamming

1243
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: something into something pantaloons. Maybe I don't know. Shaun Watson,

1244
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: he's an egg Governor. Watson his top three yards and

1245
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: frown for multiple scores and four straight free of the

1246
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: bleeding last four pass throwers for the Nanny Goat Race

1247
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars of top three undred as well. Shaun Watson

1248
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: gets a Watsons and thrown for multiple scores in four straight.

1249
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Three of the last four pass throwers to face the

1250
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars have topped three yards as well. The master goat race,

1251
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: he's the master goat race. And do I need to

1252
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: be worried? Governor Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller a like

1253
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the Battle of Griddington. Last time Cooks faced the Jaguars,

1254
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: he had one sixty one and yield touchdown. Her Majesty

1255
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: sugar b on it. Fuller has topped a center and

1256
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 1: dashed my wig in six or seven fire sticks blast.

1257
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: The bloody Texans almost traded him last week, so they

1258
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: want to give him some makeup targets. The bleeding Jaguars

1259
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: have allowed six different receivers to top seventy five yards

1260
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: in the last four games. They let a dying duck

1261
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: in a thunderstorm on the foot road. Gransd how'd you

1262
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: even get in the country back? I thought you. Brandon

1263
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 1: Cooks and Will Fuller both getting a last time cookspace

1264
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. He had a hundred sixty one yards in

1265
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Fullers topped one yards were scored in six

1266
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: of seven games this year. I guess those are fire

1267
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: sticks and sticks. Plus the Texans almost traded fuller last week,

1268
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: so they want to give him some makeup targets in

1269
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: this one. Or maybe he's playing revenge game against his

1270
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: own team and the Jaguars have all that was my

1271
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: home on there. The Jaguars have also allowed six different

1272
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: receiversh topped seventy five yards in the last four games.

1273
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: Still stuck on the master goat race. David Johnson, he'll

1274
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: be the ninty knocking ear. He gets a BE because

1275
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: those Jags are a bunch of bacon faced blunderbusses. They

1276
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: low about five meters every time on the holidays. Even

1277
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: David Johnson gets a B because the matchup is so good.

1278
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have allowed five yards per carry over their

1279
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: last four games. Jake Luton is a muff. He's named

1280
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: after the loup. He got bum fadder two. How's he

1281
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna get a couple of clicks in the cob. He's

1282
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a batty fang, That's what he is. Jake

1283
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Luton is on the bench, especially because, according to Evan Silva,

1284
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Luton was one of the worst college prospects to come

1285
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: out last year, calling him brutally unathletic. He had a

1286
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: spark score in the fourth percentile. You know, I'm really

1287
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: very surprised that edvon Silva's name translated is something about

1288
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: putting bacon in your mouth. Batty fang, batty fang. DJ

1289
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Chalk is a hob merchant, but his dattles maybe an

1290
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 1: e's gropus his ear. He's on the slab too. Everyone

1291
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: knows what this means, but it means Chark is a

1292
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: good dancer, but he's not going to catch much in

1293
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: this one, so he and the rest of the receivers

1294
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: are on the bench. Jimmy Robinson is tight as a

1295
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: boiled owl and ready to go off the chump. He

1296
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 1: gets a bumble. Unless the Texas boys are rum gaggers.

1297
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: They ain't stopping Jimmy Houston allows a Lottie. Isn't toddies

1298
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: to go for one one every day? Now, go fry

1299
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: your face and play with the gravy be He's the

1300
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: only chance that Jaguars have to win with lutenant quarterback.

1301
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: The Texans are allowing one and fifty one yards per

1302
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs. And then I think that

1303
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: I just like Colin out what did I miss? I

1304
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: think a lot saying goodbye something about Bacon and the

1305
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: Master goat race that I'm gonna go rough up Colin

1306
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: and Colin mc I don't think he'll come back again

1307
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 1: this year. We thought, we thought we're gonna make it

1308
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,839
Speaker 1: through the season without Colin mccotney. But after apparently smuggling

1309
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: himself back in and all the way into our studio,

1310
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: he told us it was a London game, so he's

1311
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna wake up at you know time and go

1312
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: for it absolutely when we come back. Premature speculation. This

1313
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: is where we give you three players you want to

1314
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: pick up the this week that other people are gonna

1315
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,520
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week, but they're already

1316
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: on your roster. That's the beauty of the premature speculation

1317
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: and our final set of matchups coming in the final segment.

1318

01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: Can't be anybody listening anymore after Colin ruined the show.

1327
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but he mentioned Bacon, who's the guy on

1328
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Twitter that does he does the rundown, tweets it out. Yeah,

Speaker 1: some point, is but we'll get it before that shows over.

1331
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: There's there's a Twitter follower who's nice enough to tell

1332
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: you where you can find at which minute mark you

1333
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: can find each and every one of our matchup. And

1334
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: he was a little sad he didn't have more followers

1335
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: as a result. So let's get him those followers so

1336
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: he can share his rundown. We'll do a weekend Um,

1337
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: I've retweeted stuff. I can't make people follow him. I'm

1338
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: not saying to feel bad about it. This is how

1339
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: he feel. The premature speculation is a segment that we

1340
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: do every week, and which week his name is James,

1341
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: by the way, thank you James, Mr j C seventy seven,

1342
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 1: m r j C seven seventh on Twitter. Mr j

1343
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: C seventy seven, Thank you, James. We appreciate that. Every

1344
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: week Uh, the premature speculation is three players that you

1345
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: want to pick up this week that everybody else be

1346
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: trying to pick up next week, and they're gonna go, oh,

1347
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: how did you know to go get him? It's because

1348
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: this is our time machine. Yes, we begin with Brian.

1349
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: You're premature speculation player. I've talked about him in the

1350
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: first segment and gave him a See. I'm gonna double

1351
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: down on Darnell Mooney, rookie wide receiver for the Bears.

1352
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: Out of two lane. Uh, Mooney has caught two or

1353
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: more passes in each of his first eight games in

1354
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, the only Bears rookie wide receiver to do that. Basically, Ever,

1355
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 1: his usage has been ramping up big time. Thirteen targets

1356
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. Last week, he played the

1357
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: snaps against the Saints a higher percentage. And Anthony Miller

1358
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: ever played as a rookie last year and he just

1359
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: he passes the eye test. If you've watched Darnell Mooney

1360
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: play and Allen Robinson commands double team's bracket coverage on

1361
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: the regular, Mooney is going to have a nice finish

1362
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: of the season. Uh, only it wears on I like

1363
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: that you said Mooney gets two catches like every game,

1364
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: so it's like like a tuney look at it two

1365
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: or more, all right, but it's been more lately. Moving on, Matt,

1366
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: your text is it's also a two dollar Canadian coin, right, Uh?

1367
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah Ford. The Patriots just brought in Ford at the

1368
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: trade deadline to fill in for Julian Edelman for the

1369
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: remainder of the season. Now he might not play this week,

1370
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: but Ford was quietly kind of good for the Dolphins.

1371
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 1: Had around, you know, three catches per game for the Fins,

1372
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: including a nine target game in a ten target game

1373
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: this year. But what I really wanted to talk about

1374
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: was last season in weeks seventeen, Ryan Fitzpatrick knocked the

1375
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Patriots out of a first round by and it was

1376
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: Isaiah Ford who was one of the big reasons why.

1377
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Nine targets, seven catches, fifty four yards plus a rush

1378
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: for eleven yards. And you don't think Bill Belichick didn't

1379
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: write that down and went, Hey, that's a guy I'm

1380
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: going to steal from a divisional opponent. He's been stealing

1381
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,640
Speaker 1: divisional slot receivers for years and years and this is

1382
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: just the latest one. And I think Ford is worth

1383
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: picking up. I am going to start by reiterating the

1384
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: guy Scott Fish mentioned last show, Alan Lazard, and I

1385
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: know because they played Thursday. He's locked in a lot

1386
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: of leagues, but get him primed up for the waiver

1387
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: wire for next week. He's due to come back, and man,

1388
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: do they need a second target in that offense. He

1389
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: was one of my sleeper picks from the preseason. Blew

1390
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: up in those first couple of games, then probably got hurt,

1391
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 1: but he has his scheduled to come back for the

1392
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: next game, So go get Alan Lazard. Then my guy

1393
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: that was Scott's last week that I'm reiterating. My guy

1394
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: is Tony Pollard, another player that I mentioned frequently in

1395
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: the preseason when I told you I did not trust

1396
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott this year. Here all the reasons why, and

1397
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: now here Zeke four straight games with diminishing yards per carry.

1398
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: He leads the NFL and fumbles. Leads the NFL among

1399
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: all running backs in dropped passes, two of which have

1400
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: turned into interceptions. His past protection is as bad as

1401
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: anybody's in the NFL. It's all come apart for Ezekiel Elliott.

1402
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard getting an increasing time share. I'm not saying

1403
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Paul it is going to take the job from Zeke. No,

1404
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: but he's getting enough of the action now that he

1405
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: belongs to be on rosters. And just Zeke's got the

1406
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: hamstring injury right now. If at some point they decide

1407
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: if this thing gets worse or they shut down Zeke

1408
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: or whatever, I think you're gonna want, Tony Pollard, I

1409
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: think this thing is gonna get worse. Do you want

1410
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 1: to just say something? I think you just say, Tony,

1411
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: I'm not to do that. You did say that last week,

1412
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: did I back? Well? I think I whispered it, so

1413
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't technically if you whisper it as much. Tony

1414
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: Pollard our final premature speculation player. We've got a couple

1415
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: of matchups to work in, including Baltimore taking on Indianapolis.

1416
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Man. This Ravens passing game continues to be

1417
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: out of sake and it's awfully tough to get back

1418
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: on track in a game without your blindside blocker Ronnie Stanley,

1419
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 1: and you're going up against the Colts defense that's very good,

1420
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: only allowing two d eight passing yards and one point

1421
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: for passing touchdowns and Honestly, those numbers have even lower

1422
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: from weren't for a bunch of garbage time stats last

1423
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: week from Matthew Stafford. You know, the fortunate thing about

1424
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the rushing numbers usually give you a

1425
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: safe floor. But you know, if there's one game that

1426
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: I were going to predict where he flops in both

1427
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: departments rushing and receiving, this might be it for Lamar Jackson.

1428
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: I've got to be grade on him, but it's a

1429
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: cautious be grade at that. Let's go to his receivers.

1430
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on Marquise Brown. He is

1431
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: a low volume, touchdown dependent receiver. The cold secondary is

1432
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,839
Speaker 1: allowed to score or one yard performance to opposing receivers

1433
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: in six of their past seven games, and if one

1434
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: receiver is gonna do it, I think it's Marquise Brown.

1435
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Brown has reached paydirt and two of his last three games.

1436
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: Last week's touchdown was his only catch of the game. Again,

1437
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent receiver, which you don't get a lot of

1438
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: um He's averaging just forty six yards per game in

1439
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 1: his last six. Brown runs from the right side of

1440
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: the field over half of the time, so he's gonna

1441
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: face now rock solid cornerback rock Yasin the most. In

1442
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: five games so far that he's played this year, Yah

1443
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: Sin has allowed a score, one score and surrounded forty

1444
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: seven or fewer yards in four of the five games.

1445
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: By the way, chart, I will note that I think

1446
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: that the Colts defense might be just a little bit

1447
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: of smoke and mirrors. By the way, the first five weeks,

1448
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks they faced the Gardner Minshew Kirk, Cousins, Sam Donald,

1449
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,879
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, Baker Mayfield, and then the last two quarterbacks

1450
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: have topped three hundred yards in Borrow and Stafford, and

1451
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: it means you tore him up touchdowns but only seventy

1452
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: three yards. That's right. Let's talk about Mark Andrews has

1453
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: become really frustrating and disaster and guillotine leagues because he's

1454
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: been boom er bust. He needs touchdowns to salvage good games,

1455
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: and they're all low volume games and they thrown him

1456
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: a ton. It just it doesn't seem to connect. Unfortunately.

1457
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you a better storyline. Here the

1458
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: culture the only team that has not allowed to score

1459
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 1: to the tight end position, and here he is touchdown

1460
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:55,879
Speaker 1: dependent but Andrews commands thirty two of the Ravens targets

1461
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: inside the twenty, so there's some hope he can score here,

1462
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: but not a lot. Just to see grade and mark Andrews,

1463
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,799
Speaker 1: and honestly, if if the tight end position were healthier

1464
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: and stronger, I might not even give him a C grade.

1465
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: Um the running backs around the bench mark Ingram is

1466
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:12,799
Speaker 1: not expected to play, although hasn't ruled. He's officially doubtful,

1467
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: but we don't expect him to go. Dobbins and Edwards

1468
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: are dart throws in a very difficult matchup. The Colts

1469
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: have not allowed back to top seventy two rushing yards

1470
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: all year. They're giving up three point two yards per carry.

1471
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: That's all. Only Derrick Henry get this stat. Only Derrick

1472
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Henry has topped eighty eight yards against the Colts in

1473
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 1: their last thirty four games. We call that friend. Yeah.

1474
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: I wonder how many times the last couple of years

1475
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: we've said only Derreck Henrry has Yeah, that's right, Derrick Henry.

1476
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: It reminds Derek Astor Henry. We for years in this show,

1477
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: back in the days of JaMarcus Russell, we have we

1478
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: nicknamed JaMarcus Astric Russell because he broke all of the trends.

1479
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: It would be you know, seven of the last quarterbacks

1480
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: of top two h fifty yards and except JaMarcus Russell

1481
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: positive um. What's more, of the cultural are top ten

1482
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: in running back receptions allowed, receiving allowed, and receiving touchdowns allowed.

1483
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: So there's there's nowhere to go here. For Gus Edwards

1484
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: and J K. Dobbins, I've got bench grades on them,

1485
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: but I could see in a in a pinch, you

1486
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: may have to use them on the Indianapolis side. I

1487
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: have no starting grades in this game for Philip Rivers,

1488
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: who has been better lately. This isn't a matchup with

1489
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: much hope. This is an inconsistent passing game and Patrick

1490
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes aside, the Ravens are giving up just two hundred

1491
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: twenty six passing yards and one passing touchdown per game.

1492
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: He will be without t Y Hilton in this game.

1493
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Not that Hilton has made a big difference, but it'll

1494
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: be without t Y Hilton and all of the Colts

1495
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers around the bench. The Ravens allowed the fifth

1496
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: fewest fantasy points to wide receivers and have only allowed

1497
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: four wide receiver touchdowns this year, and two of the

1498
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: four were Chiefs. So there's your positive asterisk. Asterisk is

1499
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs big bounce back game for Rodrigo blanket Ship

1500
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: It could be if they bounce back game for the kicker. Um,

1501
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: let's keep going to guys that you're gonna bench the

1502
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 1: tight ends. Now, if mo Ali Cox doesn't go then

1503
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: and he's he'll he's shaping up as a game time decision,

1504
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: then I could maybe see Trey Burton is startable here.

1505
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: But if they do go, then those two plus Jack Doyle,

1506
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: they else cannibalize each other. They're splitting snaps, targets and

1507
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: receptions almost evenly at about each of them, about usage

1508
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: for the Colts. So overall, I think you should just

1509
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: avoid all the tight ends instead of the guessing game

1510
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: as to which one might have a good game. Now,

1511
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: let's go to the frustrating Colts running back situation. Frank

1512
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: Reich's running backs are inscrutable, good luck trying to guess

1513
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here, and likely to frustrate you if

1514
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: you try to go with Jonathan Taylor, Jordan Wilkins, or

1515
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Niah Mines chasing the hot hand from the previous week.

1516
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Almost never works with the Colts. Remember Week one when

1517
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: nikeim Hines had the big game, everybody blew a bunch

1518
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of fab to go get nai Hines and then he

1519
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: probably did nothing for like five weeks. Jordan Wilkins was

1520
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,839
Speaker 1: the hot hand last week. They effectively benched Jonathan Taylor

1521
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: in that game. But can anybody here tell me that

1522
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: you think Jonathan you think Jordan Wilkins gonna come back

1523
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: to have a totally gonna have ninety yards again. I mean,

1524
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,919
Speaker 1: you just you can't know. Jonathan Taylor has top sixteen

1525
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: carries once in the last five games. You can't even

1526
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: count on him. But if I do think there's a

1527
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: chance that Taylor comes back with a bigger game here

1528
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: in terms of workload, just to keep the rookies confidence up,

1529
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I think Frank Wright might be worried that he torpedoed

1530
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 1: the confidence of his rookie and puts him back on

1531
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: the field as the starter. Here's the problem. Baltimore's fifth

1532
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: in yards allowed and their first and rushing touchdowns allowed

1533
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: with just two on the year. So I don't see

1534
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: anywhere to go, and I've got bench grades on them all.

1535
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to play this game. I want off

1536
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,560
Speaker 1: our final matchup. We have saved Antonio Brown and this

1537
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: discussion for the very end, New Orleans is at Tampa Bay. Brian, Well,

1538
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 1: let's start on the New Orleans side of this game.

1539
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: In a brutal matchup for Alvin Camara. Yeah, and this

1540
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: is a divisional rematch. These teams played in week one

1541
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: in the opener, so will reference that game for sure.

1542
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: Starting with Camara Uh actually on pace to break Christian

1543
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's record for receptions by running back set just last year,

1544
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Like no one's ever gonna break this record hundred nineteen

1545
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: catches fro McAffrey last year. Camara on pace for one

1546
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: five receptions, but of course Michael Thomas making his eternal

1547
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: talk about him in a minute. But in that opening game,

1548
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: UH Camara total just sixty seven combo yards, did have

1549
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: five catches, but he scored twice, once on the ground

1550
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: and once through the air. Just a brutal matchup though

1551
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: for backs. Tampa Bay ranked third overall against the run

1552
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: by football outsiders. But I'm giving Alvin Kamara because he's

1553
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: an unworldly basically, UH with Tavis Murray actually had fifteen

1554
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: carries in that first game for forty eight yards. Gross,

1555
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: don't do that again in New Orleans. He's definitely on

1556
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: the bench in this one. Now, did Michael Thomas, who

1557
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: should make his return? I feel like we've said that

1558
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: a few times. He's expected to play. Uh. Five targets,

1559
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,560
Speaker 1: three catches, seventeen scoreless yards. That was Week one for

1560
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas against the Bucks, but it's two games since

1561
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks last year. Eight catches undred fourteen yards and

1562
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and then eleven catches one hundred and eighty

1563
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: two yards and two touchdowns. Hell of history for Thomas

1564
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: against the Bucks outside a Week one of this year.

1565
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: But Tampa's secondary much improved this season, but they still

1566
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: have allowed the seventh most catches to wide receivers. So

1567
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: if Thomas is looking like a full go, and it

1568
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: looks like he is, you have to start him. But

1569
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm just give him a very cautious see this week,

1570
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: see what we have with Michael Thomas. Manny Sanders also

1571
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: set to make his return. Emmanuel Sanders, but who cares?

1572
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: He's on the bench for me, Jared Cook. He gets

1573
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: to see a lot of pieces of the past game

1574
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: returning for the Saints, who have already mentioned which should

1575
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: sap Cook's targets a little bit. It's not like he

1576
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: was getting that many anyways. He was touchdown dependent as well. Yeah,

1577
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: tight end isn't the yea Cook, like you said, pretty

1578
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent. The Bucks have only surrendered three scores to

1579
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: tight ends, but who cares. Cook had five catches for

1580
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: eight yards. He's not touchdown dependent against the Bucks. That's

1581
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: when he had in Week one. So Cook gets a C.

1582
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: But that seems like a ceiling here, but he's definitely

1583
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: startable in the tight end waistline and then a gift

1584
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: see for Drew Brees. At this point, I will give

1585
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees a C in this matchup despite just a

1586
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: hundred sixty passing yards in the Week one matchup. He

1587
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: did have two passing touchdowns, but only one quarterback is

1588
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,600
Speaker 1: hit three hundred yards against Tampa Bay this year, and

1589
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: their secondary is giving up a modest one point three

1590
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game. So see for Breeze. No ceiling

1591
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: here and not a very safe floor. But again I

1592
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: can't say enough just to see for Breeze or the

1593
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay side. Let's start with the running backs, which

1594
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: are also a nightmare which just when you think you

1595
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: have it figured out between Ronald Jones and Leonard four Nette,

1596
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,719
Speaker 1: the other one has the way bigger game at Leonard

1597
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: fourn it did last week. A bad matchup for both.

1598
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: The Saints are allowing only one and six combo yards

1599
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: and less than a touchdown per game to opposing running backs,

1600
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: so I'll give them both a sea here for Net

1601
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: looks to be the guy now. That just means Ronald

1602
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: Jones is actually the guy now from Varians is a

1603
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: diabolical schoster. But anyway to the passing game, this is

1604
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: where it gets complicated. Mike Evans Antonio Brown, Now, can

1605
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: I give you? Can I just jump in with my

1606
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown? Take sure you can tell me if at

1607
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 1: least so several several data points in Brown. Bruce Arians

1608
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: says that he's looked great and he Bruce Arians also

1609
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: says that he could play like like half of the plays,

1610
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: but he is a would you call him a diabolical shyster? Yeah?

1611
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: Do you can't. He's a ball face liar. You can't

1612
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: trust anything. Bruce Arian sets now Godwin's shaping up that

1613
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about Antonio Brown him too, probably Chris Godwin

1614
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: shaping up a game time decision. If he doesn't go,

1615
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: that frees up seven targets per games. Some some of

1616
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: that could go to Brown. Now, it's hard not to

1617
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,880
Speaker 1: be swim aid by Brown's one game last year with

1618
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,959
Speaker 1: Tom Brady when he had eight targets and a touchdown.

1619
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm swede by that. I am also swede. And maybe

1620
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: it's dumb by the fact that he was living in

1621
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:13,679
Speaker 1: his house. And I think that tells me that he's

1622
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: got a little know that Tom Brady's committed to him.

1623
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: Brady brought all of his dudes back to Tampa, alright,

1624
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: so Brady be basically got a dream team out there,

1625
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: including Rob Gronkowski, who gets an a UH for eleven

1626
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: yards in Week one. But the Saints are the bottom

1627
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: five fantasy defense against tight ends, as allowed nearly six

1628
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: catches and six yards per game to the position, including

1629
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: six total touchdowns. Gronk is on fire right now, with

1630
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: at least four catches forty yards in a score in

1631
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: each of his last three games. Nicely done, and Evans,

1632
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: we really get to Evans. Let's give him a b.

1633
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Don't play god when he see me at a pitch

1634
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: count B for Evans, C for Brown. Thanks for listening
