00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: It's finally for the for the rest of the non

Speaker 1: guillotine league players, this is your your your next on

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: the line. You're losing your out. These are the pivotal games.

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: Do I know what's hilarious? I don't have any games

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: this week. Either got a first round by or I'm

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: out all my leaks, So it's like I got nothing

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: to do, alright. Why am I the only one with

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: the playoff mustache? I thought we agreed we're growing fantasy

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: playoff mustaches. I thought you just thought it was November still,

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: but no, Yeah, the fantasy it all blends together eventually

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: get an exciting show filled with playoff relevant action. We

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: have three games Saturday. We're gonna break those down in

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: just a minute. Will continue to play. Take a chance

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: on me, will answer three tough questions. Now, these Saturday games,

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: we're not going to give them to you for reasons

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: on board listeners with in the order they're going to

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: be played. We're gonna juggle the order a little bit.

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: But these are the three three games coming up on Saturday,

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: let's do. Let's start with Baltimore taking on Cleveland. Looks

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: like Tyler Hartley will play in this game, which is

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: good news. Correct, Tyler Huntley off the injury report. Of course,

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is out this week. The Browns have allowed

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: the fewest rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks this year. However,

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: they've only really faced one running quarterback and that was

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and he had ten carries for fifty nine yards.

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Huntley completes a very high percentage of throws for short

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: yardage with vibes, which what Cleveland does defend of Lee.

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: He's only ever thrown for more than two twenty yards

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: in a game once in his career, so you're not

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot through the air. But this is

38
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: a high risk, high rewards c grade almost based solely

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: on the run game for Huntley here as for the

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: rest of the passing game. Mark Andrews is really the

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: only consideration, and he gets just a C. Here Andrews

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: hasn't scored since Week six, which is about the last

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: time the Ravens had a wide receiver on the roster. Uh.

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: That is that's I mean, that's right. When you know

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: when went down, you'd think you'd think that Mark Andrews

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: would have been better with Bateman out, but teams just

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: flexed coverage specifically to stop the only receiving threat. Since

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: Week seven began, he's averaging three catches for thirty six yards.

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: That's it. He's so pedestrian now. That includes the last

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: meeting with Cleveland, who held Andrews to two targets and

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: zero receptions. J K. Dobbins gets a B grade and

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards gets a C. Just after chart rode off

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the whole running game last week, j K. Dobbins came

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: back and had a hundred twenty yards in a score

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: on fifteen. I've had it with these guys. And then

56
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: and then Gus took thirteen carries for sixty six. That's

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: not bad. We'll talk more about those two later in

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, that's what this team is going to

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: do against Cleveland today uh Saturday. The Browns are allowing

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: five point two yards per carry. That's the third highest

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: mark in the league. They've also allowed seventeen total touchdowns

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: the running backs, second most in the league. So like

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: both of them. On the other side, Nick Chubb gets

64
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: a B grade and I'm back to bench and Kareem Hunt.

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: Chubb dominated the touch total last week versus Cincinnati's seventeen six.

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Hunt was startable that one week against Houston, but the

67
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Ravens are not Houston. The Ravens are a top five

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: team in yards per carry, rushing yards allowed, and combo

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game at about hundred and ten per

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Chubb had a hundred and seven yards in a score

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: in the Week seven meeting. I know it's a different

72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: defense with ro Kuan Smith, but just three weeks ago

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: ja Michael Hasty was able to tally nine total yards

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: in a score on seventeen touches. It feels like that's

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: where Chub is. Uh QB Browns had looked slightly better

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: last week, had two seventy six and a score and

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: thirty three on the ground in his second game back.

78
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: The Ravens have allowed the fifth most passing yards, but

79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: have allowed zero or one passing touchdowns in nine of

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: the last eleven games. So it seems like a decent yardage,

81
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: low touchdown passing affairs. So he gets a seat. Okay, wait,

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: do you have you are you a conscientious objector to

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's name. I have been all year. I have

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: not said his name once. I've been calling him QB

85
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: Browns like tech Mobile all year. Okay, Amari Cooper, he

86
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: scored one touchdown in eight quarters so far, and so

87
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't think. I don't think

88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: even there's many people even considering him anyway. By the way,

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: we said Washington football team before they were even Washington

90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: football team on this show way back in the day.

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: It was just Wash. Yeah, it's true, Amari Cooper and

92
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones. Cooper sat out of practice on Tuesday

93
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and Wednesday was limited on Thursday. Kevin Stefanski said he'll

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: be good to go for Saturday's game, but it's both

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: a hip and a core injury for Cooper and he's

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: been pretty ineffective for the brown since the new quarterback

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: took over. On sixteen targets in those two weeks, he's

98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: only managed six catches for eighty two scoreless yards. DPJ,

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: on the other hand, flourished last week twelve targets, eight

100
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: catches and fourteen yards and has managed double digit PPR

101
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: points and six of his last eight. So I'm giving

102
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Cooper a C and Donovan People's Jones a B grade

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: in this one. Uh And David and Joku he gets

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: just a C grade seven for seventy one on the

105
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: first meeting with the Ravens and they're in middle of

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: the pack. Tight end defense. Greg Dulcych did manage six

107
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: for eighty five two weeks ago, and last week Pat

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: friar Muth did find the end zone against Baltimore. So surprise,

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: you're solo on in Joko, and yet you're higher on

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones because Donovan People's Jones puts up more

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: numbers than David and Joku. That's why relative to their position,

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: I guess seems like a pretty safe play. Yeah, I mean,

113
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: he's a C grade. Are you going to cancel my

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: name at the point, I'm a little probably. You know

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: things that I do. And by the way, would you

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: rather play in Joku or Mark Andrews in this one.

117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: I think that is correct. If we had levels of

118
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: sea grades like pluses or minuses or something like. That's

119
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: all you have to do. Are You're done right? You

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: omitted one very important factor. What's that JK. Dobbins birthday game?

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, I forgot j K. Dobbins birthday game,

122
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: which is good unless he tweets that it's his birthday.

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: How you can't tweet about your own birthday? Okay, Miami's

124
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: taking on Buffalo Brian and a weather potential weather game.

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's all freaked out. I think people are way over

126
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: reacting to the space of what we know right now.

127
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: It may not the snow might even be cleared by

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: the time there's kickoff on this game. And even so,

129
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: they're talking about like four inches of snow that you

130
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: know Buffalo is build for this. I'm not sweating it yet,

131
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna until right before kickoff when I

132
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: see what the actual conditions on the field are. I'm

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: sweating it a little bit. It's more like a foot

134
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: wins around fifteen miles per hour, which nothing um, but yeah,

135
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: these teams are will be the second meeting they played

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: in week three in Miami. There definitely wasn't any snow

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: in that game. So a reference uh those stats a

138
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Starting on the Dolphins side, we're on the road.

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: I got Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostart on the bench.

140
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: I will give the seed to Mostart if Wilson somehow sits,

141
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: there is a possibility that happens with the Bills have

142
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: allowed the eighth uist rushing yards of opposing running backs,

143
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: and only three individual posing backs have top seventy yards

144
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: against them. One was Zonovant Night last week though, so

145
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that that's good, and that was most likely because von

146
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Miller has been on I R. That's that's a plus

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins backs. But again, if they both play,

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I got them both on the bench in this one,

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: you know they might be completely invisible as running back

150
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins were all white. You might not be

151
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: able to see them at all. And you have to

152
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: factor I know, like every Dolphins player isn't from Florida,

153
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: but the state shuts down when when it drops with

154
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the sixty degrees in Florida, So they're gonna says that

155
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: it's snows in Alabama. So you gotta factor that in

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: we'll factor that. I'm gonna factor a few things with

157
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, who I'm only giving a C two in

158
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: this game. He's nursing an ankle injury, playing on a

159
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: short week, coming off Sunday night football, playing on Saturday

160
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: this week. There are the weather concerns, and he only

161
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: had two scoreless catches for thirty three yards in the

162
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: first meeting, and that was winter debuts. Ward was not

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: playing White. I'm sorry White was not playing. He is

164
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: playing in this game one of the better corners in

165
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: the league and should be covering Tyree Hill quite a bit.

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: You definitely got to start um, unless it's a guy

167
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: team league. I think it's a little dice and guilloteam leaks,

168
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: but standard leagues you're starting him. But temporary expectations. I

169
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: like Jalen Waddle a little more in this game, giving

170
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: him a bet, even though he's been slumping big time

171
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. Just three catches for forty

172
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: scoreless yards. He hasn't scored in four straight games. And

173
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: I hadn't realized this, but he's only scored in four

174
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: games this year. All his touchdowns have come in four games. Wattle,

175
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: to me, is very dangerous. You and I could not

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: disagree more on this game. Well, it'd be fitting to

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: do for him to do the penguin dance in the snow, right,

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: So that's why I feel like the touchdown touchdown he

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: didn't score in the first meeting, he did have four

180
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: catches up for a hundred and two yards. He should

181
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: see coverage from Dane Jackson often who surrendered three touchdowns

182
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: over the last five games, and just there's no injury

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: concern here, notre deus white concern. I like Wattle a

184
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: little more. But you're starting both he entiree killer. You're

185
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: not starting Mike Siki. He's on the bench and I'm

186
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: only given to us see here, if you recall the

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: uh the Bills game was the game where he got

188
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: knocked out but then came back in, which became very controversial,

189
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: controversial the following week when he got knocked out again.

190
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: So he only finished with one sixty one passing yards

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: in a touchdown in the first meeting, which kind of

192
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: feels like his borderline ceiling here. The Bills have surrendered

193
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: zero or one passing touchdowns and five of their last

194
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: seven games, and the two games they allowed multiple scores

195
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: during that span where the indoor games in Detroit, and

196
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: they're not playing in Detroit the this week, so I

197
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: just gotta see for Tua. Over to the bill side,

198
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, James Cook. I'm benching Singletary and I'll give

199
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Cook the sea. The Dolphins are allowing only seventy rushing

200
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: yards per game on three point eight yards per carry. Good.

201
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: That's a sneaky good run defense for the Dolphins. And

202
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: then they're clearly going to spit uh split time. Um.

203
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: But Miami has surrendered the sixth most receiving yards and

204
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: running backs and over the last two weeks alone, opposing

205
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: backs have totaled twenty catches against Miami. So Cook is

206
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: the past catching back here. So I like him with

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: the Sea. I got Singletary on the bench, definitely not

208
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: benching Stefon Digs. Just gonna give him a be just

209
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: because of the weather concerns a little bit. I mean,

210
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: you're starting him, I mean, don't work. I'm a little

211
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: considered charge we can disagree here. I mean all I'm

212
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: saying is, can we can we hit the panic button

213
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: when we actually I feel like we've we've been through

214
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: this over the last twenty years on this show, where

215
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: the big snow game happens, everybody freaks out like it's

216
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna be low scoring. But the wide receivers are still

217
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: fine because they know where they're going. It's the defensive

218
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: backs who have to cut and cover. That's been true

219
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: in some cases and others not so much. I don't know,

220
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see. There's like one game a year where

221
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: whether actually like you know, totally suppresses you know, the

222
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: score of the game. Maybe this is gonna be if

223
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: the winds were a little lower out But anyway, all right,

224
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: we've got into Weatherman territory. Modest, modest. Seven catches seventy

225
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: four yards in the first meeting for Digs. He did

226
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: score in both games against Miami last year. Mike Williams

227
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: had a monster game against the Dolphins last week, and

228
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: Diggs could certainly do the same. So fine, I'll give

229
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: him an a. No concerns with Stefan Diggs. I have

230
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: concerns for Gabe Davis. You should if you've started him

231
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: basically in all any of other than two games this year. Uh,

232
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: first off, you're not gonna play Isaiah mackenzie, especially since

233
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: they signed Cole Beasley. That shows how much fame they had,

234
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie. But I'm still benching Gabe Davis as well.

235
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: He has scored in three of his four career meetings

236
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, but the game he failed to score

237
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: in was the one earlier this season. And Davis has

238
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: also top seventy yards or five catches just once over

239
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: his last seven games. He's a touchdown dependent wide receiver

240
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: and that's not someone you can trust in the fantasy playoffs.

241
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: I do trust Dawson Knox giving him a sea. The

242
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins are top eight in the most catches, yards, and

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to tight ends on a per game basis.

244
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Miami's Eric Rowe is Pro Football focused, his seventh worst

245
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: safety and coverage allowing, allowing the third most yards and

246
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: receptions in his coverage, and Knox had only four catches

247
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards in the first meeting, but Quentin

248
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: Morris and Reggie Gilliam combined for four catches and forty

249
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: four yards, so hopefully that all goes to Knox. I

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: like him with the Sea. And lastly, Josh Allen, he

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: gets an A. I don't really think I need to

252
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: go into that. The design rushing plays are coming back

253
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: to come back four and forty seven total yards and

254
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the first meeting. I think it was

255
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: six designed rushing plays last week for him, if if

256
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, when we came back. We'll get to

257
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: the the third of three of your Actually this it's

258
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: a non Saturday matchup. I think that's next. We'll get

259
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: to this. We'll get to Falcons taking on Saints coming

260
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: up next. We'll work in the final Saturday game India

261
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: at Minnesota a little bit later in the show. Stay

262
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: tuned more Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next. Take a

263
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: chance on me nine players not normally just starting lineup. Hey,

264
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: even though it's the playoffs, you should have a great roster.

265
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean injuries and other things have happened that

266
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: have forced you to look for some unusual potential starters. Yeah.

267
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: Maybe lost Kyler Murray last week as as one example.

268
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how bad that is a little bit

269
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: later in the show. I'd like to think that the

270
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: daily fantasy players like this segment a lot too. It's

271
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: usually your value. Yeah, let's spending at the quarterback position.

272
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: Matt mac Jones has struggled a bit this season with

273
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator, but he faces his old one

274
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: this week and Josh McDaniels, well, he may be able

275
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: to shed some light on mac Jones's weaknesses. McDaniels has

276
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: a weakness of his own. It's his defense. I like that. Uh.

277
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: They've allowed the fourth most passing yards this year, eighth

278
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: most touchdowns at one and thirteen games, and they've only

279
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: intercepted four passes all the year. Not to mention, don't

280
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: you think Bill Belichick wants to run it up on

281
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: his former pupil Oh, he would never do that. Never,

282
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: mac Jones. All right, let's go to Brian. Your take

283
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: a chance on the quarterback. I'm going to take a

284
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: chance on z Wilson. Zack Wilson, the mill hunter against

285
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: the Lions. Uh, if you hadn't heard, Mike White has

286
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: been ruled out with the broken rib. Tried to get

287
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: cleared by ten different independent doctors. That's a guy. I'll

288
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: take an eighth opinion. I'll take a ninth opinion. He

289
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: needs to go see Dr Nick Riviere if he wants

290
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: to play in this game. Sadly, he's a cartoon character.

291
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's kind of he is. But Hey, it's a

292
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: good matchup. The Lions suddenly stout run defense has funneled

293
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: their opposition to the past. Since Week eight, they're yielding

294
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: nearly forty pass attempts per game and opposing quarterbacks of

295
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: average passing yards at one point seven passing touchdowns per game.

296
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Detroit has also allowed the most rushing attempts, yards and

297
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns and quarterbacks this season. Wilson's he's got some wheels.

298
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Not He's not justin fields by any means. He he's

299
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: got some mobility. But hey, if you're desperate, it's a

300
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: great matchup for for Zack. Matt Ryan faces the Vikings

301
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday. The last seven non Heike quarterbacks to face

302
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota have thrown for three nine yards, three six yards,

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: three D seven six three hundred thirty yards. See that

304
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: level of ineptitude creates the most favorable matchup of Matt

305
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Ryan's entire season, and he's had some explosive games this year.

306
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: He's topped three hundred fifty yards three different times, although

307
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: none under Jeff Saturday, Who's got the run heavy approach here.

308
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: All three of Ryan's receivers have got positive individual matchups.

309
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Will talk about all of them a little bit later.

310
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Vikings allowed the most passing yards, the second most completions,

311
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: and every opposing quarterback has scored since the opener. Let's

312
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: go to the running back position. You take a chance

313
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to me runner Matt. I think it's gonna be Mac

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: jones favorite target, Pierre Strong. Romandre Stevenson just practiced for

315
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: the first time on Friday with an ankle injury. He

316
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: was very limited. Damien Harris was limited in practice on

317
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, and the Patriots reporter Chris Mason of

318
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: mass Live dot com said he doesn't look particularly close

319
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: to and last week it was Pierre Strong and Kevin

320
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: Harris who filled in. Strong might be the sneaky play

321
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: because he took five carries for seventy yards, but he

322
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: also chipped in two catches and twenty yards in the

323
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: passing game. Kevin Harris wasn't targeted at all, and they

324
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: faced the Raiders defense, who's allowed the most receiving yards

325
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: to opposing runners this year. Even if Stevenson or Harris

326
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: does go yet, Harris hasn't been involved in the passing

327
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: game at all. I think Pierre is a strong play. Okay,

328
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: you're running back, let's let's move on quickly from that Tobacco.

329
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: It's not Pierre Thomas, Remember Pierre Thomas, oh Man Thomas.

330
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: I I like Antonio Gibson at home against the Giants.

331
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Will get into this game more later, but it's a

332
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: weird scenario where these teams last played in Week thirteen,

333
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and the Commanders were on by last week,

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: so there they got back to back games against the Giants,

335
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: so they they're certainly ready to play New York and

336
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: this one. Who were who? The Giants were gashed on

337
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: the ground by the Eagles last week. With defensive tackle

338
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams out with a neck injury. He is questionable

339
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday night. And uh the Giants have

340
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: now allowed eight straight games to an opposing running back

341
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: to have at least ninety four yards or a touchdown.

342
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: I know Brian Robinson will be the lead back, but

343
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: I kind of just think the Commanders roll the Giants

344
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: and this one and should see some significant work here.

345
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: I think Brian Robinson sitting on the best game of

346
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: his guy. He'll be getting a good grade later. Talk

347
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: more about that later. You'll remember all preseason I begged

348
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: people not to draft cam Acres, Well, it's come around

349
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: to the point where now I'm I'm actually giving him

350
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: a take a chance on the opportunity on Monday Night.

351
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: He dominated the carries last week with twelve um. But

352
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: he's been and he's been. Don't get me wrong, he's

353
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: been bad like every other ram trying to run behind

354
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: tenth stringers on the offensive line. But the Packers ranked

355
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: twenty six and run defense by Pro Football Focus, and

356
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: opposing number one runners almost always get paid. Opposing lead

357
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: runners have scored or top seventy three yards in ten

358
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: of thirteen games against green Bay. The last four lead

359
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: runners have all scored touchdowns against green Bay. So look,

360
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: you need a dart throw Monday night, cam Akers. Let's

361
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: go to the wide receivers. Well, I shouldn't say that

362
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: receivers because you often go tight end. Yeah, I went

363
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Just a mess with you. Michael Gallop six

364
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: or more targets in five of his last six games.

365
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: But he's really passed the eye test over the last

366
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: month or so, making some great contested catches, and he

367
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: scored twice against Indie just two weeks ago. Faces a

368
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Jags defense that is allowing the third most touchdowns to

369
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. They're at sixteen through thirteen games,

370
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: and second wide receivers have have had a lot of

371
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: success against the Jags as of recent Detroit's DJ Chark

372
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: had five catches for ninety yards. Even Marquees Valdez Scantling

373
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: had sixty yards in a score just a couple of

374
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Michael Gallop, let's go all right, Michael Gallup,

375
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: your take a chance of me wide receiver. Uh, it's

376
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: another reclamation project from the New York Jets. And Elijah More.

377
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: Compare him with Zach Wilson. You only live once again.

378
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: They're at home against the Lions, who quite simply are

379
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: not good covering opposing slot wide receivers. Since we gate,

380
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: they've allowed the most PPR points to the position, and

381
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: unfortunately More was in a smash spot with Mike White

382
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: as quarterback. More has had four red zon targets over

383
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. But I don't know, we know

384
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson like hates Garrett Wilson, so I like Alijah

385
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: More a little more in this one. I can't turn

386
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: up anything on Pierre Thomas. I don't know whatever he's

387
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: been doing he's doing it in secret. There's no there's

388
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: like nothing's like he fell off the face of the

389
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: earth after he retires exactly. If you're listening, tell us

390
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: what's happening in your life. We're curious. We miss you, Pierre,

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: I do miss Pierre. UM might take a chance to

392
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: me wide receiver Paris Campbell, I I will, I am

393
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: also come mining a wide receiver with a quarterback. I

394
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: told you I loved Matt Ryan this week. The only

395
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: person who's more of a Paris Campbell fan than me

396
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: is Matt Ryan. Ryan has gotten more production out of

397
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: Campbell than anybody in Campbell's career, and it's not close.

398
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: Over Ryan's last five games, Paris Campbell averaging five receptions,

399
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: fifty four yards and half a touchdown. That is solid.

400
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna face a Vikings defense that allows the most

401
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: yards most receptions to opposing running backs or sorry, posing receivers.

402
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: His slot matchup is against Vikings cornerback Chandon Sullivan, who

403
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: has been better lately, including uh keeping I'm on Ross

404
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: st Brown in check last week, but on the season,

405
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: Sullivan giving up a very healthy seventies seven percent catch rate,

406
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: highest one of the highest in the league. Pierre Thomas's

407
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: real first name is Charles. I did not know that

408
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: is his middle name, Pierre. How do you end up

409
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: Charles Pierre Thomas? At some point you just go, I'm

410
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: tired of people calling me Chuck. You need I want

411
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: something more a jr. So you know, maybe that I

412
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: wanted to be different than that. Maybe that was it.

413
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to uh the other Saturday game,

414
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: which is Indianapolis taking on the Minnesota Vikings. Already told

415
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: you Matt Ryan was might take a chance of me.

416
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: Quarterback Paris Campbell was gonna take a chance of me

417
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So you can assume I like Michael Pittman here.

418
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: He posted a dud game before the by but the

419
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: bounce back is coming in a big way. He runs

420
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: from all over the field. He's got plus matchups at

421
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: every stop, particularly on the outside against cornerback Cam Danceler

422
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: came off I R last week and promptly allowed an

423
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: eighty percent completion rate and a touchdown. As I already

424
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago, Minnesota allowing the most yards and

425
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: receptions to opposing receivers. So a premote matchup from Michael

426
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Pittman with an A grade in this one, and to

427
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: see great on Alec Pierce as a you know, it's

428
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: all there's so much, there's so much to be had

429
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: through the air against Minnesota, and outside receivers have been

430
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: hammering the Vikings last week. DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds

431
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: are unstoppable. Before that, it was Garrett Wilson, Before that,

432
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: it was DeVante Parker, Nelson Agilar. Look, I go all

433
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: the way back to the basically the Vikings entire year

434
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: and find duo's that have performed well against the Vikings,

435
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: especially from the outside. Pierce is a big bodied receiver

436
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: who can match the physical play of Patrick Peterson, Camp Danceler.

437
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: The tight ends are out of play here because they're

438
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: all reasonably healthy, and that means Johnny Woods and Moiley

439
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Cox and Kylan Granson, it's there are they could any

440
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: any of them could get use so we're gonna throw

441
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: them all up. That just leaves Jonathan Taylor the path

442
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: of least resistance against the Vikings, certainly through the air.

443
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: But Jeff Saturday's averaging twenty four touches for Jonathan Taylor

444
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: per game, so you figure he's gonna get some volume here. Anyway,

445
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings allowing the seventh fewest rushing yards on the

446
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: fifth lowest yards per carry, so this is not an

447
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: easy job for Jonathan Taylor. Still, he could chip in

448
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: some receptions. Minnesota allows the fifth most receptions and receiving

449
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: yards to the position, and Taylor is usually good for

450
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: three catches per game. So I think in totality, this

451
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: feels like a B grade for Jonathan Taylor. Viking side. Uh,

452
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson's in a grade, but I'll mention he's got

453
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: a tough tangle with Steph Gilmore for most of this game.

454
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: Gilmore shadows opposing number ones often and has not allowed

455
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown in his coverage. Still, it's justin Jefferson. You're

456
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: certainly starting him well. Staying with the passing game here,

457
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Adam Thieland gets a C grade. Lines up all over

458
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: the field, but will most often see cornerback Isaiah Rodgers

459
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: on the right side of the field. Rogers is allowing

460
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a whopping eighty two percent of the passes in his

461
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: coverage to be completed. He's only allowed one touchdown all year,

462
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: but it came in his last game to Michael Gallup,

463
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: who Matt just mentioned last part of the last uh well,

464
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: a couple more players from the among the receivers here

465
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, t J. Hockenson B grade here, He's

466
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: consistently in that six catch fifty range solid not amazing,

467
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: only one touchdown so far. As a member of the

468
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: Vikings will face the Cold's defense that has yet to

469
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: allow a tight end performance above fifty eight yards. They've

470
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: only given up one touchdown to tight end since Week four.

471
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: I do like Hockinson's individual matchup. He'll often be covered

472
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: by linebacker Bobby Oh creaky, Oh creaky, Oh creaky. He's

473
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: consistently what just happened church broke on that name like

474
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: it's week fifteen, I can break He's he is the

475
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: backup behind Shaquille Leonard and he's allowed the second most targets,

476
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: the most receptions in the seventh most yards. I'm on

477
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: linebackers since he started and um and that's a good

478
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: opportunity for t J. Hockenson B great on him. Kirk

479
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: Cousins coming up the best game of his of his

480
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: season and one of the best games of his career.

481
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: Really quietly Indie's past defense, though elite, allowing just one

482
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: hundred eighty nine yards per game. No quarterbacks top two

483
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: hundred seventy nine yards on the Colts all year. Passers

484
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: have failed to top the meager milestone of one ninety

485
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: yards in six the last eight games against Indie. Justin

486
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: Jefferson alone makes Cousins startable and I've got to see

487
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: grade on him here, um and I like that. The

488
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Colts pass rushes not that good. They ranked thirty and

489
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: pass rushed by profoball focus. I've got a C grade

490
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: on Cousins in a sneaky, tough matchup. Lastly, Dalvin Cook.

491
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: After a series of grueling matchups and without his left tackle,

492
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: it's finally a strongly positive matchup for Cook. Colts are

493
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: bottom twelve and rushing yards, rushing scores, receptions to running

494
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: backs and receiving yards allowed to running backs and in

495
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: their two games prior to the bye, and he gave

496
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: up six rushing touchdowns in those two games and five

497
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry. A grade for Dalvin Cook.

498
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: It's about time we can finally talk about Dalvin Cook

499
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: with a fair amount of confidence. Let's uh, let's take

500
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. Final set of matchups

501
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: for our number one, including the Dallas Cowboys taking on

502
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Christian Kirk has been promising all season.

503
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: We'll say if that's going to continue. And Trevor Lawrence,

504
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: who has been running hot and cold against the awesome

505
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: pass rush of the Dallas Cowboys. Matt Harrison will tell

506
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: you what to expect to come back to fantasy football

507
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: we flee Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Charchi and

508
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot Com. Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with

509
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: you big block oh matchups beginning with Dallas taking on

510
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Matt Tony Pollard has been electric, Zeke

511
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: has been stable for fantasy owners. What do you think

512
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: of that? To duo? This week in Jacksonville, they both

513
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: get in a. Uh. Cowboys running backs have scored twelve

514
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last five games. Man, that's crazy. Is crazy.

515
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has allowed the most rushing touchdowns on the year,

516
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: So I have a feeling they're both going to score here.

517
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott gets an A as well. Jacksonville bottom ten

518
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: in passing yards, passing scores, and rushing yards allowed to

519
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. In case Dak wants to run one

520
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: in UH Ceedee Lamb gets an A and Michael Gallup

521
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: gets a B as might take a chance on the receiver.

522
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned Jacksonville likes to give up touchdowns to the

523
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and Lamb has scored or topped a hundred

524
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: yards and four of his last six Dalton Schultz. I

525
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: called Dalton as Deck's only touchdown passed last week. It

526
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: didn't work, but Deck only did have one passing score

527
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: went to Tony Pollard. Schultz did come away with six

528
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: catches eighty seven yards on ten target of the end

529
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: position every week over the last five weeks. Dalton Schultz

530
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: is tight end too behind Travis Kelsey. He's an A grade.

531
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: The Jags are allowing the third most yards to opposing

532
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: tight ends on the Jacksonville side. Travis e t n

533
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: faced a similarly good run defense last week and the

534
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Titans he took seventeen carries for thirty two yards. Now randomly,

535
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have allowed the ninth most rushing yards to

536
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: running backs, but they don't give up touchdowns only six

537
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: total on the year. UH it's unlikely he finds the

538
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: end zone, so just a C grade for e T

539
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: n Trevor Lawrence is going to play despite missing some

540
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: practices with a toe injury this weekend. Last week, he's

541
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: faced three of the worst past defenses in the league

542
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Returned two games of over three

543
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: yards with three scores in each of those, but then

544
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: he played Detroit and put up a stinker in one

545
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: seventy nine and one. This week he gets Dallas, who's

546
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: top six in passing yards and touchdowns allowed. The bright

547
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: spot is the Cowboys have allowed multiple passing scores four

548
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: times in the last eight games, but that's the whole season.

549
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: If it's me, I leave Lawrence on the bench, but

550
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: in in single quarterback leagues for sure. If it's super flex,

551
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: I get one of those Fantasy Football Weekly commemorative coins

552
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: and flip it. I want to tell you to start

553
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: a Jags receiver. I'll give Christian Kirk the lowest possible

554
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: C grade here simply because he gets the target share.

555
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: In the last seven games, he's averaging a target nine

556
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: times per game, nine times nine. You're absolutely playing with

557
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: fire in the fantasy playoffs if you're starting z Jones, though,

558
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: you're chasing the upside of the eleven for two weeks

559
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: ago for the eight seventy seven and a score I

560
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: had last week against Tennessee, but he could end up

561
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: with the two for sixteen he had against Detroit in

562
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the middle there, Dallas has allowed fourteen touchdowns to wide receivers,

563
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: which is sixth most in the league. So Za Jones

564
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: is like the super high risk, super high reward play.

565
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Like if you played George Kittle last night in your

566
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs and you need that swing for the fence upside,

567
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: that's a Jones. I think you're underestimating Christian Kirk. You

568
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: know they lost their slot cornerback Jordan Lewis Okay, and

569
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: raw Doron Bland has been manning the slot. He gives

570
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: up an eighty two percent catch rate, and Kirk is

571
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: the nookie Blankie. He's woo yeah, the wooby for Trevor Lawrence.

572
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: I think I think you're underestimating Christian Kirk. You said

573
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: C grade. I have him almost an A grade in

574
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: my ranking. Well, I mean, how about his favorite wide receiver,

575
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram Okay, who rocket it up to tight end

576
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: five and PPR leagues eleven catches a hundred and sixty

577
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: two yards and two scores. Uh last week last week.

578
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: His single game last week was more points than Darren

579
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Waller has scored all year, and kudos to Brian for

580
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: picking him up mid matchup last week on the show. Uh.

581
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: Likely probably to replace Darren Waller on your team, I

582
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: would think, right, Yeah, I've been streaming. Ever, the Cowboys

583
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: have only allowed one tight end touchdown this year and

584
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: only one tight end is top to fifty yards against

585
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: them this year. He's a C grade, mostly because the

586
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't faced any tight ends better than Dallas Goddard

587
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: or t J. Hoggins, and Evan Ingram might be the

588
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: best tight end they faced. All nice call in Evan

589
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: Ingram last week. Actually, you two hammered your ta coms.

590
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: You hammered almost all these dark tek A good week

591
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: last week? Yeah, you two had about the best week

592
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: I can remember you having, I mean, like ever as

593
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: a combo platter. Wow, that was an amazing I appreciate

594
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: that I did only give Ingram a C, but the

595
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: picking him up mid show, I guess really you did.

596
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Detroit Lions taking on the New York

597
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Jets on the Detroit side. They come off a high.

598
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Another in a series of high flying offensive games. But

599
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: this is the best defense they've seen in a long time.

600
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: These Jets cornerbacks are awesome. What do you think of

601
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and this passing game, Brian, Yeah, arguably their

602
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: toughest matchup all year, starting with Jared Goff, just to

603
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: see for him, With seven touchdown passes over his last

604
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: three he's been lights out. But a matchup with the

605
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: Jets is the last thing fantasy managers want to see

606
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: on the schedule. New York has surrendered a m easily

607
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns over their last ten games, and during

608
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: that same span, no opposing quarterback has managed to top

609
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: two d and fifty passing yards. And that's why I

610
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: have just a cee on a mon ros st Brown.

611
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Over the last five weeks, New York has allowed the

612
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: third fewest receptions and yards to wide receivers and just

613
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Cornerback Michael Carter, not running back, has allowed

614
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: a pass a rating of just sixty seven. From the

615
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: slot where st Brown lines up over half of the time.

616
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: He's not gonna find much space on the outside either

617
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: against Sauce Gardner or DJ Read So just the sea

618
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: for st Brown and uh for those reasons. I have

619
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: DJ Shark and Jamison Williams, who was playing in a

620
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Spike game. By the way, Jets took Garrett Wilson a

621
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: couple of picks before James and Williams. Uh, they're both

622
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: on the bench, and this one is it's a brutal matchup.

623
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift on the bench as well. I will give

624
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams to see. Swift has had double digit touches

625
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: and just one of his last six games, so he's

626
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: a pretty easy sit in a pretty tough matchup. I

627
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: kept thinking, you know, a month ago, he was gonna

628
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: slowly get healthier and his role was gonna expand. But

629
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift's role really hasn't changed in the last month,

630
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: and it continues to be middling and a little random.

631
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can start him at this point

632
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs, you know your hat on the line, No thanks,

633
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. But and Lions run defense has

634
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: been awesome for over a month. Well they don't have

635
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: to play against their own run defense. Well that helps.

636
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: But Jamal Williams again gets the sea. He leads the

637
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: league with thirty three carries inside the ten yard line.

638
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: Leads the league and rushing touchdowns. You're praying for a

639
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: goal line plunge here, but you might get it because

640
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Quinnin Williams hasn't practiced all week, unlikely to play.

641
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: He still could, but uh that'd be a big boon

642
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: for Williams. So I will get him to see over

643
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: to the jet side and zonovan Bam night, Bam, bam, bam.

644
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: We're waiting on this, remembering again, that's a lot of

645
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: bams for just giving him to see though. I was

646
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like Bam bam from the Flintstones. I want

647
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: to hear it one more time because the uh yeah,

648
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: the Footstones would have been a good one too. Emerald

649
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: is more recent in the memory than the Bam band

650
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: from the Flintstones. But as Charts just mentioned that Detroit

651
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: defense is legit no longer a soft matchup for opposing

652
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: running backs. Over their last five games, the lines have

653
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: allowed an easily third two combo yards are running backs.

654
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: That's seventies six per game rushing and receiving and just

655
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: two touchdowns of the position over the that five game

656
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: spam span. But Bam has monked great. There used to

657
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: be a can of spam I left in here. Someone

658
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: took it. That's funny. This Minnesota Bams looked great though

659
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: he has four his twenty five miss tackles over his

660
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: last three games. Volume based play, but a tough matchup,

661
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: So just a CEE for Bam. I was gonna give

662
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson an a in the in the reverse split

663
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: game against Jamison Williams, Yes, until Mike White was ruled out,

664
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: So I'm dropping him to a C with uh Zach

665
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Wilson a quarterback he does. The splits have proven it.

666
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: Hopefully they break that trend, but it is a good

667
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: matchup on paper. Over Detroit's last five games, they've surrendered

668
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: five wide receiver touchdowns and have allowed a two hundred

669
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: yard wide receiver performance and to one yard wide receiver performances.

670
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: So see for wills in and basically I gave Elijah

671
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: Morris cy he was might take a chance on me

672
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Uh see for Tyler Conklin as well. The

673
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: Lions are allowing more than five catches and fifty five

674
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: yards per game to tight ends and they have also

675
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: surrendered the third most touchdowns to the position, and uh

676
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: so I like the receivers enough, and that's why Zack

677
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: Wilson was might take a chance for me quarterback. I'm

678
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: gonna add a little something to how good does Lions

679
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: run defense is because I fear that listeners don't realize

680
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook just ran fifteen times for twenty three yards.

681
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Before that, Travis Etienne fifty four yards, a couple of

682
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: games before that, sa Kwon Barkley twenty two yards. Uh,

683
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: and a couple of games for that, Aaron Jones twenty

684
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: five yards. I mean, these are some of the best,

685
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: most productive runners in the NFL that have been put

686
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: on horrific games against the Lions run defense. They're biting

687
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: their kneecaps off, just as probably happened Salute League Indianapolis

688
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: cold snope not doing that one. Sorry, Plicans taking on

689
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: the Saints. It is the first It's the big regular

690
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: season debut for Desmond Ritter. Uh. If he was especially promising,

691
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: we'd have seen him a long time ago. We have

692
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: everybody on Atlanta on the bench, and this one the

693
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: Ritter bit. We're not gonna start him or any other

694
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: part of the passing game when we don't know a

695
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: lot about what he could possibly bring. We know he

696
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: has a strong arm. He has a little mobility, but

697
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: that is it. And it's above average Saints past defense

698
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: that foils bottom tier passers repeatedly, Drake London is the

699
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: only receiver you considered. But get this, Drake London has

700
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: been under forty yards and ten of the past eleven

701
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: games he's killing fantasy teams. We're gonna put that whole

702
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: passing game on the bench, and all the runners around

703
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: the bench here too. Corderrell, Patterson, Tyler, l jeer Chet, Huntley. Uh.

704
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: The Falcons run a lot, but that volume doesn't always

705
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: mean big games. All the runners share carries and nobody

706
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: gets a bankable amount of work. And in the last

707
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: three game, New Orleans has been very good against the run,

708
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: only allowing one brat back to reach even fifty yards

709
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: against them. And again Desmond Ritter throws a sizeable question

710
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: mark into the whole offense. They're on the bench. Let's

711
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: go to the Saint side where there's not a lot

712
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: to like here either. Frankly, you think of the Falcons

713
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 1: is being pretty soft, but there's and there's a few angles,

714
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: but not many. Let's start with one of the fantasy

715
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: assassins of this year, Alvin Kamara. It's been seven games

716
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: since Alvin Kamara topped three and a half yards per carry.

717
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: That's horrific. And it's been six games since he's scored,

718
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: and remember he scored in one game all year. That's it.

719
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: The Falcons could be a get right spot for Kimara,

720
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: particularly with mark ingram Oucu will get a lot of

721
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: volume here over the last seven games. Atlanta has a

722
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: lot of running back to rush for at least eighties

723
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: six yards or score, including three yard performances. But I

724
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: can't get Camara above a C grade based on what

725
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: he's done so far. Let's go to the passing game.

726
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: Chrystal Lava gets a C. Atlanta feels like a positive

727
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: matchup on when you just say it like Crystal Lava

728
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, But they've actually been excellent against whiteouts

729
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: of late. Over the last five weeks, they've allowed the

730
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: fewest receptions, the fewest yards, and the fewest touchdowns to

731
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: opposing receivers, and a lot of that's because after early

732
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: season struggles, their top cornerback A. J. Terrell has been

733
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: outstanding and he likely shadows a Lava in this one.

734
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: Since returning from injury and week eleven. A J. Terrell

735
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: has allowed three total catches since Week eleven, no scores

736
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: and a passer rating of forty in his coverage. So

737
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: I can't get more than a C for chrysal Lava

738
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,959
Speaker 1: and a strongly considered a bench grade here. You could

739
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: try a dart throw on Rashid Shahid, who blew up

740
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: last week, and he'll start on the outside again. The

741
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: beauty of him is he doesn't face A J. Terrell

742
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: will be shadowing Crystal Lava. He'll get Darren Hall, who's

743
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: not very good. He owns a Pro Football Focus ranking

744
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: his quarterback sixty one, and he got burnt two touchdowns

745
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. I'm giving a C grade to Rashid

746
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: Shahid in this game. Everybody else is on the bench.

747
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's on the bench. Falcons have proven they can

748
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: hold bottom tier passers and check facally, mostly guys at

749
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Dalton's level. Over the past six week they've weeks they've

750
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: only allowed one touchdown per game, and the two tight ends,

751
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: Jown Johnson and Adam Troutman are both dealing with ankle injuries,

752
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: and I don't want to watch them hobble through a

753
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: game and split time between the two of them. If

754
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: one of them misses entirely, I guess you could start

755
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: the other one, but I think you're probably better off

756
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: looking elsewhere. Final matchup is Philip of this segment, Philadelphia

757
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Chicago Bears. This could be a

758
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: massively one sided affair against a deeply slumping Chicago defense.

759
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: Is there anything not to like about the Philadelphia Eagles.

760
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a blood bath. Jalen Hurts and A J.

761
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: Brown they're a grades and I don't feel I need

762
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: to expand their do not. Miles Sanders an easy a

763
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: as well. Chicago allowing the sixth most rushing yard and

764
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: the third most rushing tds. Devanta Smith is the only

765
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: other Eagle you might start this is This is complicated, though,

766
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B. He has scored in each

767
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: of the past two weeks. Has seen at least eight

768
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: targets in five straight games, and that's after a bit

769
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: of a roller coaster in that category earlier in the year.

770
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: Over the last five weeks, which is only four games

771
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: for the Bears, they've allowed six total wide receiver touchdowns

772
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: and that's the fifth most in that span and They're

773
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,479
Speaker 1: the only team in that bottom five that played four

774
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: games instead of five. So I think the catch on

775
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: Devant Smith though, is when Dallas Goddard plays that dudes

776
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: all over the map, including some bad games. And if

777
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: Goddard comes back, I'm worried about Jalen Hurts being able

778
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: to keep him fat. Yeah, God heard a little questionable

779
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: and I don't know why the Eagles would rush him

780
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: back in this man and this matchup at all. So

781
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: doesn't that say if Goddard does play, it means he's

782
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: probably probably pretty I guess if he goes, he's probably

783
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: a C grade. I'm just nervous that they might go,

784
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: let's what the kid gloves on and put you on

785
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: the bench and stop it. With that talk, I wanted

786
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: to place where I want this match up badly to

787
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: Justin Fields practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. He's

788
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: ready to go coming out of the bye week. Seven

789
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks have top twenty rushing yards against the Eagles

790
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: this year. They were Cousins, Wentz, Kyler, Pickett, Tannehill, Danny Jones,

791
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: and Tyrod Taylor, and Kyler and Jones are the only

792
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: real running quarterbacks in that group. They're allowing six point

793
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: eight yards per carried a quarterbacks this year, so I

794
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: expect fields to run forever. I'm not even looking at

795
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: the incredibly tough passing match up here. That's all gravy.

796
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: He's a running back in this game, and he gets

797
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: a B grade. And we should remember Jordan Davis is

798
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: back for the Eagles. That plugs up the middle of

799
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: the field, and that could affect fields as well forever forever.

800
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool has already been ruled out. Colt met is

801
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: the only receiver in consideration here, and I don't think

802
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: i'd even start him. The Eagles are top ten receptions,

803
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to tight ends. If you're looking

804
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: for four catches and forty yards, I think that's the

805
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: ceiling for commit here. I got a tight end for

806
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: you later in the show. If you're if you're banking

807
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: on coal, commit all right, better option. I got a

808
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: W grade on a tight end later in the show too.

809
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: David Montgomery gets a B grade, though he's certainly a

810
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: bell cow right now. He'll get fifteen touches and he's

811
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: probably got the best chance to score outside of fields,

812
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: even with what should be a negative game script, Montgomery

813
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: likely serves as one of the top receiving options with

814
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: all the issues at wide receiver, and in the last

815
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: two games where the Bears have lost by ten or

816
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: more points, he's still managing at least fourteen PPR points

817
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: in those games, so he's still getting fed. Yeah, it's uh,

818
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: David Montgomery has been pretty safe in this offense. Absolutely,

819
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: it's true. When we come back for our number two

820
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, three Tough Questions, and we continue to

821
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: break down all of the matchups, including the Pittsburgh Steelers

822
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Naji Harris playing much better of late. Is

823
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: he a safe start here? Is Carolina going to take

824
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: control of their division? That all could come together? We'll

825
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: tell you when we come back for our number two

826
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Please stay tuned our number two Fantasy

827
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson

828
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you for joining. This is a game

829
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: we like to call three tough Questions. We traditionally begin

830
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: with Tough Question Number one. Rest of the season is

831
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: New York Jets running back Zonovian Bam Bam Bam Bam

832
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: Bam Night and RB one RB two flex or bench.

833
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: We begin with Matt uh So. He's been a starter

834
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: for three weeks. He's only been active for three weeks

835
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: in his career in PPR leagues. In the last three weeks,

836
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: he's RB eleven. He's averaging eighteen touches per game, and

837
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: even when Michael Carter came back last week, he led

838
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: the touch count nineteen to eight. He's made James Robinson,

839
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: who they traded for midseason, inactive twice in the last

840
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: three weeks. This coaching staff absolutely believes in him. They're

841
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: going to keep giving him the ball Detroit this week,

842
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: Brian alluded to it not the best matchup. The final

843
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: two weeks have him against Jacksonville and Seattle, both our

844
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: bottom ten run defenses. He's a Bam Bam RB one.

845
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: The rest of the way, all right, Brian, for the

846
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: rest of the season is Jets running back Zonovan bam

847
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: Night in RB one, RB two flex or bench. Yeah.

848
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: I don't have much to add uh what Matt said,

849
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: and I agree RB one and saying Seattle is a

850
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: bottom ten rush defensive generously. The bottom defense them in

851
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: Houston are like looking at each other like Jaguars are

852
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: bad too. Bam, Mike might and I have a great

853
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: game this week, but will make up for it against

854
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Seattle in week sixteen and seventeen. So are

855
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: we one? Uh, it's not a night's really good. He's

856
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: really good. I mean you look at him, you go,

857
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: that guy is running hard, he's fast, he's got power.

858
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: So I decided, okay, that's what my eyes say. Pro

859
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: Football Focus think he's the eighth graded runner right now

860
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: by Pro football folks. It's the schedule is favorable except

861
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: for this week, the really tough matchup, and because we've

862
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: only got four games left and I've got one of

863
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: them this this week and really three for the fantasy playoffs,

864
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I've got him as a C this week. I think

865
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: he'll be a B next week at Jacksonville. He's an

866
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: A against Seattle C B and A averages out to

867
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: a B. And that is a running back to for

868
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: Zonovan Night. Tough question number two. Baltimore running back JK.

869
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: Dobbins ran for one twenty yards and eight yards per

870
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: carry in his return last week. Rest of season? Is

871
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: j K Dobbins a running back? One running back to

872
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: flex or bench? And for this one, we begin with

873
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson h Cleveland this week somewhat a somewhat neutral

874
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: matchup in Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Those aren't smash spots like

875
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: a Seattle or Jacksonville or Houston, but it looked like

876
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: Dobbins earned the starting job back that he kind of

877
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: never really had he did when he was last healthy,

878
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: which was what yeah early remember. So I'm gonna go

879
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: conservative here and say RB two, but I like him

880
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, this is a run first team

881
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: now the row. It doesn't matter who's at quarterback. So

882
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: I'll go I'll go safe here and say RB two

883
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 1: for j K. But I love him on his birthday

884
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Matt, rest of season is JK Dobbins and

885
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: RB one, RB two flex or bench. You know you're

886
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: kind of onto something last week with the I don't

887
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: want anything to do with this running game. Yes, Um,

888
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland this week is the best matchup for him the

889
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: rest of the way. Um. And I gave him a

890
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: B in that matchup, and and and that's genuinely a

891
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: bottom five run defense this week. If that's the cap

892
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: on what we think of j K Dobbins right now,

893
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: I don't think I can even make him an RB

894
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: two because I think he's just a C grade the

895
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: rest of the way, so I have him as a flex.

896
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: So he posted this gaudy stat line last yards. Yeah,

897
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: here's what really worries me. He had a like a

898
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: sixty yard run through a wide open hole and he

899
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: was slow, like dropped the piano slow. And he's clearly

900
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have his natural gate back yet. I'm telling you

901
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins does. He's still not right on that knee.

902
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: It's the explosiveness, the acceleration, the top end speed all missing.

903
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to wait until next year

904
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: before he comes back. So I don't think it's coming

905
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: back in the next three weeks for a Fantasy playoff run.

906
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: This is still a crowded backfield. Remember this like a

907
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: fifty fifty split with Gus Edwards last week. Schedule. To

908
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: me is is middle of the pack. It's ninth thesist

909
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: by Rhoda Wire, no stoppers left. I think he gets

910
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: C grades the rest of the way. You give him

911
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: a B today, I'm giving him a CE today. I

912
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: think he's he's BC grade. I think the rest of

913
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: the way J K. Dobbins is a flex play tough

914
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: question number three in Dynasty Empire and Keeper League, So really,

915
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: any league we're carrying over players, should playoff teams be

916
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: allowed to make roster moves and if so, should the

917
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: non playoff teams be allowed to make roster moves? Matt,

918
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: this is short and sweet. If next year is on

919
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: the line at all, absolutely you have to let people

920
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: make roster moves. And I would not play in a

921
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: Dynasty or Keeper league that did not allow teams to

922
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: make roster moves if they're out of the playoffs. That's

923
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: it because because you you have next year on the line,

924
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: If you can't make moves for next year and other

925
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: teams can, that's an unfair advantage. So should should every

926
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: anybody be allowed? So the question everybody should question everybody

927
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,479
Speaker 1: should be allowed to make? Yes, everybody should be allowed

928
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: to make moves, including non playoffs. Yes, okay, Brian, same

929
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: question in Dynasty Empire or Keeper leagues? Should playoff teams

930
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: to be allowed to make roster moves? And if so,

931
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: should everybody, including non playoff teams be allowed? Full agreement

932
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: with Matt, and I don't this isn't part of the question,

933
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw in my opinion that I think

934
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: there should be no trade deadlines and Dynasty leagues either.

935
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: And I played pretty much all the ones I play

936
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: and have a trade deadline, and I don't like it,

937
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: But I think there should be no trade deadline. What

938
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking, because there's no no one's gonna if your

939
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: fear collusion, you deal with that after the fact. I

940
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: think you should just still be able to make trades

941
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,919
Speaker 1: to improve your team for the future, or even if

942
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, right for the trade deadline, I

943
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: felt I was a contender, but then you know, the

944
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: s hit the fan and I want I could there's

945
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity to trade a player or prove my team

946
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: for rebuild. I have an issue at that in Empire,

947
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: for sure, because but your empire, your empire, your reigning

948
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: Empire champion, and many but people would collude against them

949
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: at that point in the point. Deal with that if

950
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: that if it's if that's it's apparent that that was

951
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: the case. But I don't know. But well, it's not

952
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: even clusion trying to make that guy lose. How about

953
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: in in Dynasty and keeper leagues, once you're out of

954
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you can start making trades again, Yeah, that'd

955
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: be interesting. I suppose here's what would worry me about

956
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: a no trade deadline dynasty. Really any league, It's championship

957
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: week now, these teams just like sell I know I've

958
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: made it to the championship, right, I may as well

959
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 1: just sell out to do whatever it takes because I'm

960
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: just down to me. I got one game to win.

961
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: I can see just basically just a bidding war with

962
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: these two teams doing whatever it takes to just win

963
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: one game, and that could that could throw off some

964
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: of the balance and integrity of the league at that point.

965
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: So I don't I'm not I'm not. No, I'm not

966
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: keen on that. Uh correct answer to the core question

967
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,280
Speaker 1: here and dying to see Empire and keeper leagues should

968
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: playoff teams to be allowed to make roster moves, yes,

969
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: and anything that you were allowing your playoff teams to do,

970
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: you have to allow your non playoff teams to do

971
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: as well. Let's move on to our next matchup, which

972
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: is Brian Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Carolina Panthers. Sure

973
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: you want to get into this one because it's us

974
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: um well, Mason Rudolph, maybe you're starting quarterback for the

975
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, it might be to him, or it

976
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: might be you got the old sad trauma. Oh. We

977
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: will always have some trombones. I think we've got about five.

978
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: Get rid of the big trombone. I had to get

979
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: rid of the slow dying trombone. It's good that we

980
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: got rid of the three trombones. Sounders on the button

981
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: bar for a guy who didn't play down to one.

982
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett looking doubtful at this point. Uh, probably not

983
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: going to clear concussion proto call. So whether it's true

984
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: Whisky or Rudolph there on the bench for me as

985
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: our George Pickens and Deonte Johnson because of the quarterback situation. Uh,

986
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: that is just disgusting. I want to throw this out

987
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: there about Deonta Johnson real quick. Though he has the

988
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: sixth sixth most targets with a hundred and thirteen, has

989
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: not scored touchdown. That's hard to do. Here are the

990
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: players with the most receiving yards without a touchdown. Deontay

991
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: Johnson clearly his first with sixty seven. Second is Tyler

992
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: Higbee with four D fifty five nearly two hundred less

993
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: receiving yards. So I mean, he probably do, but I

994
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: don't trust True Whisky or Rudolph to get him the

995
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: ball on painted grass. So pickens Deonta Johnson on the bench,

996
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: as is Pat fryar Muth. He might not play with

997
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: the foot issue, but if he does, I still got

998
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: him on the bench. He's been limited by it. Has

999
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: barely played over the snaps over the past two weeks,

1000
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: resulting in consecutive games of only three receptions. The Panthers

1001
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: have also surrendered only three touched hounds to tight ends

1002
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: all season, and one of those touchdowns went to Kyle Pitts,

1003
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: who was actually a wide receiver. So I don't like

1004
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: friar Muth. He's on the bench now. J Harris is not,

1005
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: though he gets to see Jalen Warren returned last week

1006
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: and stole some touches. That's to be expected again, but

1007
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: Harris will lead the way. On paper, not a great

1008
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: matchup though, since giving up two d eleven combo yards

1009
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: and five scores at Joe Mixing in Week nine, the

1010
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: Panthers are allowing only eighty combo yards per game to

1011
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: running backs was zero touchdown, So a tough matchup on

1012
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: paper for Harris, but he's startable with the sea over

1013
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: to the Panthers side. All the sort out there, Sam Donald,

1014
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 1: he is on the bench. I will give a seed

1015
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: to DJ Moore dealing with an ankle injury, but he's

1016
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: trending towards playing. The Steelers are top five in the

1017
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: most receptions and touchdowns. Why are we starting Dj Moore?

1018
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: Did he have a catch last week? He got hurt,

1019
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: but he's he's supposed to play. It's a good matchup

1020
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: if we'll call it a C dart, not a see

1021
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: a CE dart on DJ. More of your desperate That

1022
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: sounds like a D grade and UH at wide at

1023
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver if you're desperate, if you're desperate running back,

1024
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: I'll throw a couple more Sea arts at Dante Foreman

1025
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: and Cuba Hubbard Foreman at twenty two touches last week

1026
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 1: to the sevent team from Cuba, but Cuba rapped, racked

1027
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: up more yards and scored a touchdown. Props again to

1028
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: Matt on that call to give him the peacock there. Well,

1029
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: like we see a time share in a somewhat neutral matchup.

1030
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: The Steelers are allowing on eight combo yards and just

1031
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: under one touchdown per game to to uh one total

1032
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: touchdown per game to opposing running backs. So not a

1033
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: great matchup. But if you're desperate running back, you can

1034
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: start either Foreman and work Hubbard. We're gonna try to

1035
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: work in quickly Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans

1036
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: because this is pretty straightforward. Although there's one wrinkle in

1037
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: this matchup, and let's go right to that. It's this

1038
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: passing game. I almost considered a B grade on Patrick

1039
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes because get this, Houston allows the fewest passing touchdowns

1040
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: in the league point nine per game. And it's not

1041
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: entirely because teams just run on Houston. That's a factor.

1042
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: That's why I gave Dak Press gotta sea last week

1043
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: that you guys are red hot. Last week you absolutely

1044
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: nailed them. Teams run on Houston at the second highest clip. Now,

1045
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are not exactly channeling Priest Holmes these days,

1046
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: but we are going to get a good game out

1047
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: of his a patico and this one and I like

1048
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: him a lot, and we'll talk about him in a second,

1049
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: but you got to expect some diminished output from Mahomes

1050
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: because that's how it goes for basically every quarterback that

1051
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: faces Houston, but still I can't not give him an

1052
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: A grade. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey likely breaks out of

1053
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: his mini slump here. Any tight end who has had

1054
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: at least five receptions against Houston has turned it into

1055
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: at least sixty yards. So we'll give the A grade

1056
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: to Travis Kelsey. But again, it wasn't as strong as

1057
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: Eve an A grade as he often gets on this show.

1058
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: The only other receiver that you'll want to consider starting

1059
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: is Juju Smith Schuster, who finally sparked last week after

1060
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: a month of dud games. Uh, and that wasn't probably

1061
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: against a Broncos defense that is normally very good. This

1062
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: is a trickier matchup than it looks though, for reasons

1063
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: I've already discussed. Houston's allowed a league low get this,

1064
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: four touchdowns to wide receivers all year. It's mid December

1065
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: and they've given up four touchdowns and wide receivers. Read

1066
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: is Uh, he's got a, like I said, a trickier

1067
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: matchup than it. Then it looks like on paper, um,

1068
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna line up outside where he usually lines up

1069
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: outside most often, where he's gonna see Derek Stingley and

1070
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: Stephen Nelson. They're both banged up. Should one or both

1071
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: miss this game. Juju faces journeyman Desmond King most often,

1072
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: who gave up five catches and a touchdown last week.

1073
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: That would be a positive for him, and that's why

1074
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on Juju Smith Schuster not

1075
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: technically a receiver, but another great call by Matt Harrison. Three.

1076
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon, you urged people to pick him up last week.

1077
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: He went off on that great box score anyway, premature

1078
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: that crazy pass from Patrick Mahomes. Oh yeah, that was

1079
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: weird to Jerick McKinnon. Another opportunity here. Houston allows the

1080
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: tenth fewest receptions and receiving yards of the position. Uh

1081
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard's four receptions last week we're most the most

1082
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: by any back since Week four against Austin Ekeler. But

1083
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: I think McKinnon's gonna chip in enough with his five

1084
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: or six carries like four receptions to be fantasy viable

1085
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: for a third straight week. So we'll give a C

1086
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: grade to Jerick McKinnon here. And then, lastly, among the

1087
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs who care about Isaiah Pacheco, a grade

1088
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: he has seen double digit rushing attempts in five consecutive

1089
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: games on a very solid nearly five yards per carry.

1090
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 1: Texans giving up twenty eight rushing attempts per game, one

1091
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: hundred forty rushing yards per game, and one point two

1092
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: rushing scores per game to opposing backs. Those are all

1093
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: worst in the league. It's very easy to envision in

1094
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: eighteen carry one hundred yard rushing game with a score.

1095
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: Frisaiah Pacheco in this game. A grade for him. All

1096
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: the other Kansas City receivers are out. And the short

1097
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: story in Houston's bench everybody, it's gonna be another Davis

1098
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: Mills and Jeff Driscoll platoon. You're not benching Jeff Driskell

1099
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: on Yahoo because he's tight end eligible. You gotta play

1100
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Driskell at tight end because he's gonna he threw

1101
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He's like Taysom Hill like it's almost

1102
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: were passing upside with passing have passing pass uh. Brandon

1103
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: Cooks is out, Nico Collins is out. Chris Moore had

1104
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: a career game last week. Actually thought about putting giving

1105
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: him a starting grade here, but couldn't do it. Rex

1106
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: Burkhead is gonna be a starting running back. Damian Pierce

1107
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: has been ruled out, and I don't think I don't

1108
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: think they should play Pierce for the rest of the year. Uh,

1109
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: you could start Rex Burkhead only in desperation PPR mode.

1110
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City a very good run defense, but they have

1111
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: given up the most receptions and the second most receiving

1112
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: yards to opposing running backs. So you could start Burkehead

1113
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: with some hope that maybe he helps you out that way.

1114
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: When we come back, Patriots aching on the Las Vegas Raiders.

1115
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 1: This is a thorny running back situation with the Patriots,

1116
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison will try to guide you through this.

1117
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Romandrie Stevenson might play, Damien Harris might play. He already

1118
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: told us he likes Pierre Strong in this one. Find

1119
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: out what to do when we come back to Fantasy

1120
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Georgie and

1121

Speaker 1: Matt Harrison Brian Johnson with you. You You can follow us

1122
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I'm at Paul Chargy and Matt is at

01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Explosive Output and Brian is at b t x J.

1124
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Get another big block and matchups for you. Beginning with

1125
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: a tricky backfield with new England as they take on

1126
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. It's a nice opportunity if you

1127
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: could just figure out what's going to happen here. What

1128
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: do you think, Matt, It's the Patriots, and you know

1129
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots questionable way of life. You never know. You

1130
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: never know with with Belichick, so you're gonna have to

1131
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: check at game time. This is a late afternoon game,

1132
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: complicating matters. That complicates things quite a bit. If you

1133
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: are reliant on Romandre Stevenson, which I think a lot

1134
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are in playoff matchups,

1135
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I'd go pick up Pierre Strong as kind of the

1136
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: handcuff and go okay, I can flex to him if

1137
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Romandre is inactive. I'll give them all C grades here

1138
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: provided they play. If Ramandre plays, he's a C. If

1139
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: if Harris plays, he's a CE. Pierre Strong I think

1140
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: gets a CEE and I think he's involved in the

1141
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: passing game. As I highlight. Didn't take a chance on me,

1142
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: but I don't like a lot of it, and if

1143
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: you have better options out there, I'd probably go at

1144
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: them and not try to play the Bill Belichick games.

1145
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: Mac Jones was also might take a chance on me Tosser.

1146
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: He gets a C grade as well. Uh, it looks

1147
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: like a good matchup for Hunter Henry, but it's actually not.

1148
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna start highlighting some things. There's teams that

1149
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: play against Travis Kelsey, and then there's teams that don't

1150
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: play against Travis Kelsey. Outside of Travis Kelsey going for

1151
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: twenty five yards and four touchdowns in Week five, the

1152
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: Raiders haven't allowed a touchdown tight to a tight end

1153
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: since that date, and only three players in those eight

1154
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: games of top fifty yards. Now Henry managed seventy yards

1155
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: on three catches last week, but that was a much

1156
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: better matchup. Matchup. Absolutely leave him on the bench. Jacoby

1157
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Myers got a midweek down grade due to his concussion

1158
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 1: he suffered two weeks ago. He didn't play last week,

1159
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: and he hasn't practiced in more than just like off

1160
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the field on his own to the side stuff. This week.

1161
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like he'll go. It makes Nelson Agilar

1162
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of a deep sleeper here because I do like

1163
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Mac Jones in the passing game and they got to

1164
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: throw it to someone. It is a revenge game for Aglar,

1165
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: who played with the Raiders for a while plus he's

1166
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: manned the slot more often than not in Meyer's absence,

1167
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: ended up with ten targets last week, and he should

1168
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: face a meek Robertson who's allowed three touchdown from the

1169
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: slot this year. That's the third most in the league.

1170
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: So I got a C grade on Nelson Agil of

1171
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: all things, Myers comes back is still startable. I think

1172
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: that the C would probably flex to Myers. I was

1173
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: gonna give Myers a B if he was healthy in

1174
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: this one because I like him a lot, but it

1175
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good on the concussion. He went backwards on Friday,

1176
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: so I don't like that quite a bit. On the

1177
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: other side, Davante Adams is an a uh. Everybody knows

1178
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots have a great defense, but top wide receivers

1179
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: have killed him. Justin Jefferson had nine catches, a d

1180
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: and thirty nine yards and a score against this team.

1181
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Diggs had seven and one. Hopkins had seven for seventy nine.

1182
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: That's just the last three weeks, so no fear about Adams,

1183
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: even though the matchup looks scary. Jalen Mills and Jack

1184
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Jones on the Patriots trending toward doubtful as well, that

1185
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: also plays in Adam's favor. Josh Jacobs also an A

1186
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: in many formats, he's the top running back in fantasy football.

1187
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: He faces a tough test in New England, who has

1188
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: been showing some weakness as of late. Though James Conner

1189
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: managed a hundred and fourteen comboy yards in a score

1190
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: last week, the Buffalo combo of James Cook and Devin

1191
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Singletary combined for a hundred and fifty six yards in

1192
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: a score of the week before, So that's why Jacobs

1193
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: is still in A. And then the only other Raider

1194
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: you would start in a fantasy playoff situation is Derek Carr.

1195
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: He gets a B. The Patriots have allowed multiple passing

1196
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: scores to three of the last six quarterbacks they faced,

1197
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: but the other three that didn't do it were Colt McCoy,

1198
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, and Sam Ellinger. And by the way, one

1199
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: of them that did do it was also Zack Wilson

1200
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: cars thrown from multiple scores and five of his last

1201
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: six games, and in those six he's been averaging two

1202
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: or fifty yards per game, So he's just a solid B.

1203
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati takes on Tampa Bay. Brian Cincinnati, we had talked

1204
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: to that. We thought Sam j. P Ryan had earned

1205
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: more looks going forward, but then last week Joe Mixing

1206
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: got almost all the work. P Ran just got four

1207
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: four carries in the game. Yeah, it's four carries for

1208
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: p Ryan. He did score the Russian cuts, don't though, Um,

1209
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean give p Ryan is C here and Mixing

1210
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: and B it's just because the Bucks are so banged

1211
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: up on defense. Nose tackle Vivea has been ruled out,

1212
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Linebacker Carl Massive is ruled out, Linebacker Genard Avery is

1213
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: ruled out. There's injuries in the secondary we'll talk about

1214
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: in a minute. And the Bucks have allowed six rushing

1215
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: yards and two rushing touchdowns and running backs over the

1216
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: last two games. So B for Mixing and a C

1217
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: for p Ryan. I'm I'm a little nervous about p Ryan,

1218
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, the workload, but it seems like a

1219
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: game that the Bengals should win handily. So I like

1220
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: both here. Obviously like jamaar Ches he gets in a

1221
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: not going into that anymore at all, Not so obvious.

1222
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: R T. Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Um just gonna give

1223
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: both of them. As see, Higgins has the hamstring, as

1224
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: we all learned last week he can kill you by

1225
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: just saying he's gonna play and then just doesn't play.

1226
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: But it's a good matchup. Uh. Jamal Dean, the Bucks

1227
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: top cornerback, has been ruled out. Antoine Winfield Junior questionable

1228
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: to play, as is Tampa Bay's other starting safety, Mike Edwards.

1229
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: He is questionable to play. So I will give Higgins

1230
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and Boyd see here, but monitor their status leading up

1231
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: to kick off, of course, but they are startable. And

1232
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I said I had a tight end for you if

1233
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: you're very desperate, and it's Mitchell Wilcox week, well, I

1234
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: mentioned him and give him the starting gride. I didn't

1235
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: like the matchup, but I like the match up here. Uh,

1236
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst doubtful to play. We just talked about te

1237
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: Higgins and Tyler boy They're both kind of banged up.

1238
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: You don't know how much you can trust them, and

1239
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: on paper a good matchup for Wilcox. The Bucks are

1240
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: allowing more than five catches and fifty yards per game

1241
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to tight ends and they've surrendered to score at the

1242
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: position and two of their last three, So again, super

1243
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: desperate Mitchell Wilcox. Mitchell Wilcox could be Tyler Boyd. Can't

1244
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: you know if that finger joy means he can't catch

1245
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: a pass even they just like decoy m even if

1246
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: he's active. Yeah, maybe the middle of the field. We're

1247
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot more Mitchell Wilcox, Mitchell Wilcox and

1248
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow easier there some people called Cox. We call

1249
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: him will Cox on this show. We don't. We don't

1250
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: over to the Tampa Bay side. Not a lot to

1251
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: like here. I will give Rachid Chad White a see.

1252
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett of bench grade. Tristan Worth's offensive lineman should

1253
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: make his return, which would be a huge help for White,

1254
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: who outtouched for Net eighteen to ten last week, but

1255
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: not a great matchup. The Bengals have only allowed seventy

1256
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: of rushing yards per game to running backs over the

1257
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: last three weeks, but they have surrendered five catches and

1258
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: fifty yards per game to the position during that span,

1259
01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: and White is the past catching back as of now,

1260
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: so he gets to the Sea four. Net is on

1261
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: the bench just to see for Chris Godwin. Even though

1262
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: Bengals cornerbacks Mike Hilton and Jalen Davis could miss this game,

1263
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Hilton is a slot corner and he's very good. Uh

1264
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: So that would be a huge boon for God. When

1265
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: if you says I'd move, God went up to his

1266
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 1: sea if Hilton is out, but if Hilton plays just

1267
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 1: to see for godwin. Over the last five weeks, Hilton

1268
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: is allowing two and a half catches in twenty nine

1269
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: scoreless yards per game. And over to Mike Evans, I

1270
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 1: got him on the bench regardless. Sadly, he's fallen outside

1271
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the top twenty four wide receivers on the season, and

1272
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals have allowed these second fewest wide receiver touchdowns

1273
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: on the year, only six. We've had other players who

1274
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: have had horrific seasons that aren't injury related, like Alvin

1275
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Kamarat like one A. Mike Evans is right here. I mean,

1276
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: it has been a disaster season because you've been starting

1277
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: him virtually every week or probably every week, and you're

1278
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: getting nothing out of him. So are you actually going

1279
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: bench grade? We finally go bench bench and Evans and

1280
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm benching Tom Brady who's had a mind boggling d

1281
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: nine pass attempts total over the last two games, and

1282
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: he'll need to throw the ball fifty plus times to

1283
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: post any kind of serviceable numbers against Cincinnati. The Bengals

1284
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: have surrendered multiple passing touchdowns just once all season, and

1285
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: they own the lowest opponent completion percentage in the league

1286
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: at so Brady yet again, a very dicey start. I

1287
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: think there are better options in one quarterback leagues and

1288
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: Tom Brady somehow I drew the Colt McCoy versus Brett

1289
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 1: rippon game. Um, not a lot to talk on primetime,

1290
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: let me knowing this year. Yes, by the way, we're

1291
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: in the middle of our three straight rams primetime games

1292
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: this week. Uh McCoy, let me just mention this throws

1293
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: a massive damper on the whole offense. He has got

1294
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the NFL's shortest average throw at six yards so far

1295
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: in his three basically fold games this year, and that's

1296
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: consistent with who he's been for four seasons. Now, you know,

1297
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: charge you had a Colt McCoy, Kyler Murray kind of

1298
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: tough question that you you took out and I did

1299
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: a little research on on Colt McCoy. Here, by the way,

1300
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: of the highest eight passing totals for the Cardinals this year,

1301
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: three of them were McCoy of James Conner's best five

1302
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: fantasy scores this year, three of them have been in

1303
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: McCoy games. All three of McCoy's games, by the way,

1304
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: the worst game DeAndre Hopkins had in a McCoy game

1305
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: with seven for seventy nine, and Marcus Brown has only

1306
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: played with him once at eight targets. Colt McCoy might

1307
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: be better for this offense than Kyler Murray. I'm gonna

1308
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: parry that with this. Over the last four seasons, Colt

1309
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: McCoy keeps finding himself into starting roles due to injury

1310
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: to the starter. He's thrown three hundred passes in the

1311
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: last four years with four touchdowns three. That's amazing how

1312
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: bad that is. Everybody suffers here. I think I do

1313
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: have starting grades and two players James Conner gonna get

1314
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: extra used, to be clear, but I think nobody's helped

1315
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,759
Speaker 1: by the Colt McCoy takeover. You're a little more optimistic

1316
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: than I am, Att, and that's fine. Connor has been

1317
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: shockingly spry when healthy. To my eyes, he's looked actually

1318
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. Broncos have a good, not great run defense.

1319
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Over the past five weeks, they're allowing four yards per

1320
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: carry rushing yards zero touchdowns per game. That's why I've

1321
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: got to see grant On James Conner if he's gonna

1322
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: get most of those yards and zero touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins

1323
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: stays startable, um, but he's gonna get a big dose

1324
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 1: of Patrick Sir Tan. He's one of the best cornerbacks

1325
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 1: in the league, and he shadows opposing number one receivers,

1326
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the case here. Sir Tan a

1327
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: lot one catch for twelve yards in his coverage last

1328
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: week against Patrick Mahomes. This is Colt McCoy, So Tanna's

1329
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: in one bad game all year, but it was too

1330
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: Davante Adams a similarly built, physical receivers, so I've still

1331
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: got to see Grade and DeAndre Hopkins. Everybody else is

1332
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: on the bench Marky's own. His whole bid is run fast,

1333
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: run long. That's the opposite of the Colt McCoy six

1334
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: yards average throw. Randal Moore has been ruled out of

1335
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: this game, and that's that's it. Nobody else even matters.

1336
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Denver side. Uh, not a lot

1337
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: to like here in a Brett Rippon led offense, but

1338
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: you could start Greg Dulcych. He goes up against the

1339
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: team that ranks dead last and receptions, yards and touchdowns

1340
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: the tight end. So I gotta be grade on Greg Dulcinch.

1341
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored since his first NFL game back in

1342
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Week six, but he's coming off back to back eight

1343
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: target games, including many of them from Brett Rippon last week.

1344
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Then Jerry Judy startable because Courtland Sutton is gonna miss

1345
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: another game. Ripping hit him with a touchdown late in

1346
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 1: last week's game, targeting with half his passes after relieving

1347
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson last week. And we want to watch the

1348
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: status of Arizona cornerback Byron Murphy if he misses another game.

1349
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,639
Speaker 1: It turns into a very plus matchup for Jerry Judy

1350
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: currently have a C grade, we'd upgrade him to a

1351
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: B grade if Byron Murphy is out. And then, lastly,

1352
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: the only other Bronco you care about is Latavius Murray.

1353
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals run defense is pretty good. Only two backs have

1354
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: topped one yards all season. It took both of them

1355
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: twenty touches to get there. Murray's has seventeen touches twice

1356
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: since the Melvin Gordon departures, so he could creep towards

1357
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: a hundred yards here, but he's coming off an eight

1358
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: carry games, so this is he's still very risky here.

1359
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: And I can only get myself to give you a

1360
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: C grade on Littavius Murray in this game. So there

1361
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: was the Madden curse. Now we have the in season

1362
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: hard knocks curse, which got the Colts last year. Their

1363
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: season went up down the toilet, and we all know

1364
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: what's happened to the Cardinals this year. It's not good.

1365
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: When we come back Tennessee taking on the l A Chargers.

1366
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,879
Speaker 1: Is there anybody outside of Derrick Henry with a glimmer

1367
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: of hope in that offense for Tennessee. We'll tell you

1368
01:13:52,320 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly Final Segment,

1369
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly Playoff Edition. We've got three more matchups

1370
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: to get to hopefully to power you through and into

1371
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: the second round the semifinals of your playoffs. Tennessee takes

1372
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,520
Speaker 1: on the Chargers. Matt. This is an obvious great opportunity

1373
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry, who rebounded off a pretty tough month

1374
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: or so with a big game last week. There's a

1375
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 1: bad Chargers run defense. Yeah, there's a certain animal that

1376
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: we're going to give Derrick Henry this week. Oh you

1377
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: don't say it starts with two a's, does it? That

1378
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: are right there? Now? Wait, you're sure it's not? Yeah,

1379
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Um. By the way, Dontrell Hilliard already been

1380
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:00,080
Speaker 1: ruled out, so it's Julius Chestnut backing him up. And

1381
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: I mostly just wanted to say Julius Chestnut because it

1382
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: sounds like a competeer man from the Anchorman movie. That's

1383
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Julius Chestnut from Channel six that Chargers allowing the way,

1384
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna go hit some DFS jack pot. Derrick Henry

1385
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: either like sits early, they get way up, sits earlier,

1386
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and somebody's gonna try Julius Chestnut. Well, if

1387
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: he gets any carries, he'll get five point five yards

1388
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: per carry against the Chargers day trail On Burke's already

1389
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: been ruled out. He was the only Titans wide receiver

1390
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: I would have considered this week. Another receiver that you

1391
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: can consider Chickasamo con Quo, who tallied six catches forty

1392
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: five yards in a score last week. I think he's

1393
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: worth my patented w grade for the tight end wasteland

1394
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 1: withdraw waste only in the waste land can you start

1395
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: chig conquo um. The Chargers look neutral on paper against

1396
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: the tight end, but we're gonna go back to the

1397
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs tight ends again. If you eliminate just the two

1398
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: game is against the Chiefs tight ends, the Chargers are

1399
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: almost the best tight end defense in the league outside

1400
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. In the other eleven games, they're allowing

1401
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 1: two point nine catches and forty two yards per game

1402
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: to the tight end position and have only allowed one

1403
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 1: other tight end score, so they've been very good. Although

1404
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of that's Derwin James and he's trending doubtful

1405
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: on this one. So Chiga conquo with the W grade.

1406
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill isn't the quarterback that got you to the

1407
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs. He's a series of unfortunate events that brought

1408
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: you to this. I'll give him a C grade. The

1409
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: upside is the Chargers have allowed three of the last

1410
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,600
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks they've faced to throw for multiple scores, and

1411
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: two of the last five quarterbacks have scored a rushing touchdown,

1412
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: and you might need that rushing score. How to Tannehill here?

1413
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: It's a Derrick Henry game script I'd rather use other

1414
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: options than Tannehill, but he's there on the Charger side.

1415
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's fire up the passing game, justin air bearer Keenan Allen,

1416
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: Mike Williams all Paul eight A grades in this one.

1417
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer a B grade. The Titans are allowing three

1418
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards per game. That's the second most in

1419
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: the league, the second most touchdown passes at twenty five

1420
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 1: and thirteen games, almost two per game. The third most

1421
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: receptions and yards allowed to opposing wide receivers. Eighteen touchdowns

1422
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers, seven different instances of a wide

1423
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: receiver topping sorry, four different instances of wide receiver topping

1424
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: seventy five yards and scoring. In just the last three weeks.

1425
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: All three of the Chargers wide receivers saw six or

1426
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: more targets last week. All three of them topped fifty yards.

1427
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: Of course, Mike Williams came back caught all six of

1428
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: his targets for one sixteen and a score. Keenan Allen

1429
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: saw fourteen targets and twelve of them. Palmer is the

1430
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: upside play, but he was still heavily involved last week

1431
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and got over fifty yards They've also allowed the third

1432
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: most receptions and the second most yards to opposing tight ends,

1433
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: which brings in Gerald Everett with a B grade. The

1434
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: passing game all a green light here, and the passing

1435
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: game includes Austin Ekeler. Of course, his grades a little

1436
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: more tricky. He's the last guy I'm gonna mention here.

1437
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a very solid B grade. The

1438
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: Titans are awesome against the run. They've only allowed sixty

1439
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: three rushing yards per game and only four total touchdowns

1440
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs all year through land, on the sea,

1441
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: in the air, maybe the space force. Yeah, like all

1442
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,560
Speaker 1: all that, only four touchdowns. They have, however, allowed the

1443
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: fourth most receptions to opposing backs at about six per games.

1444
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: Austin good at past catching. I think he might be

1445
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,839
Speaker 1: He's gonna be very relevant in this one. The Chargers

1446
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: are playing for their playoff lives in the final four

1447
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: weeks of this season. It's all systems go. I think

1448
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: it's a huge game for the whole Chargers offense here. Alright,

1449
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you on most all of that. The Giants

1450
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: take on the Commanders. Brian say Kwon Barkley just limping

1451
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: to the finish line, and this might be his toughest

1452
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: matchup of the entire year as he travels to Washington

1453
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: to face one of the league's best run defenses. Yeah,

1454
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: this is a weird game. I mentioned this in take coom.

1455
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: How these teams played in Week thirteen two weeks ago.

1456
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: Washington was on by last week, so they're getting the Giants,

1457
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: so that they've essentially been scheming to play the Giants

1458
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: for the last three weeks. So needless to say, I

1459
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: don't like the Giants a whole lot in this game.

1460
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: And when they played in Week thirteen, they finished in

1461
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: a tie. So the stats I'm gonna reference are a

1462
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: little misleading because they especially extual quarter of football. So

1463
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: the numbers sound good, but they're not as good as

1464
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: they really are. So starting with Barkley, Yeah, he was

1465
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: faded big time, only played of the Snaps last week

1466
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: because of the neck injury. Thankfully, he hasn't been on

1467
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: the injury report this week, so that's good. But the

1468
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: matchup is not. The Commanders are allowing just seventy eight

1469
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, and Barkley only had sixty three

1470
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: yards on eighteen carries two weeks ago. In that first matchup.

1471
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: He did catch five passes of those, so you're still

1472
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: going to start them, but temporary your expectations do not start.

1473
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: Darius Layton, Isaiah Hodgens or Richie James are all on

1474
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the bench. Hodgens actually scored in the first meeting, and

1475
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: he scored last week against Philly. He's an interesting dynasty

1476
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: stash if you're a dynasty player out there with an

1477
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: open bench spot six ft four, he's he's looked kind

1478
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: of good. But on the bench, and this one all

1479
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are as is Daniel Bellinger to the

1480
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: tight end. He might not even play. Only two score

1481
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: of this yards in the first meeting in five quarters,

1482
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones on the bench as well. He did

1483
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: have two hundred passing yards and a passing touchdown with

1484
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: seventy one rushing yards, but that's uh his ceiling. And

1485
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: again it was five quarters of football, which likely won't

1486
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: happen again this week. Over to the Washington side, I

1487
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: love Brian Robbinson this week. I have to be on

1488
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: him right now. If Leonard Williams sits again, uh, it's

1489
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: an a for Brian Robinson is going to post his

1490
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: best game of his career right there. Leonard Williams did

1491
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: play in the first meeting, so Robinson and Antonio Gibson

1492
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 1: just had modest numbers. But with Williams out last week,

1493
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: we saw the Eagles tear him up. Baston Scott might

1494
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back even scored against

1495
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: the Giant last week. So like Robinson with the B

1496
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: A at at worst A if william sits Antonio Gibson

1497
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: was might take a chance to me running back. Either way,

1498
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Washington just rolls with the Giants in this one.

1499
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: That's why Terry McLaurin gets an A as well. The

1500
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Giants had been shredded by opposing wide out since top

1501
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: cornerback at Dory Jackson was lost to injury three weeks ago.

1502
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: He has been ruled out for this game. And since

1503
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: Jacks Jackson has been out, the Giants have allowed four

1504
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns over the last three and opposing number

1505
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: one receivers have average six catches for ninety four yards,

1506
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: which includes mclaurin's eight catches for a hundred and five

1507
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown in Week thirteen. Uh So, I

1508
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: like John Dotson with a c here he caught a

1509
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: touchdown in Week thirteen on nine targets, caught five of them.

1510
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bench Curtis Samley Vell. There's just I don't

1511
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 1: know if there's enough to go around in this one.

1512
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants are gonna keep pace for

1513
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: all the past catchers on Washington to be viable. But

1514
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,040
Speaker 1: I think Logan Thomas could be viable in the it

1515
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: and waste land, So I'll give him a w am

1516
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: I allowed to do that match, Yeah, you can do that.

1517
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Ws are for everybody. The part marks are for me.

1518
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Put me alone. I didn't want funds. I didn't give

1519
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: this week. It's not I'll give it. Terry McLaren, Yeah,

1520
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,879
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. Terry is so happy. Logan Thomas not the Fonzie,

1521
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: but we'll give him a See posing tight ends or

1522
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: averaging more than five catches and sixty yards per game

1523
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: against New York, we will take that in the waste land.

1524
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,600
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna bench Taylor Heine he here. He did

1525
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: have two hundred seventy five yards and two touchdowns in

1526
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: the first meeting, but for the last time, there was

1527
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: five quarters of football played in that game, and that's

1528
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: not gonna happen again, most likely Alright, final matchup Rams

1529
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: taking on the Packers. Cam Akers was might take a

1530
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: chance for me running back. I mentioned that earlier, And

1531
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: I've only got one of their RAMS player with the

1532
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: starting grade, and that's Tyler Higbee. As a high risk

1533
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: and part throw he's been frankly basically bad. You want

1534
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: to give him a W grade? Church, Why don't? Why not?

1535
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Because I'm I'm called give me a C grade? Is

1536
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: a high risk art grow uh. Pretty much every week

1537
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,839
Speaker 1: an imposing tight end is finding fantasy points against the Packers.

1538
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: In the last six games, six tight ends have scored

1539
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: or top seventy two receiving yards. Now, Higbie has been

1540
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: mostly a disaster. But if you know, if you're if

1541
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: you are desperate in the waste land, you can give

1542
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: a C grade to Tyler Higby the rest of the

1543
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 1: passing games on the bench, even though the Packers secondary

1544
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been very good since the Eric Stokes injury. But

1545
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: I'm not a believer in Baker Mayfield. Even with last

1546
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: last week's magical end of that game, he's still only

1547
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: through yards and one touchdown in the game. And Sherry

1548
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: knows more of the playbook now. But it's not even

1549
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: a positive for Baker Mayfield. I he had his like

1550
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: best scenario, was like, yeah, so I just I can't

1551
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: get myself to put a starting grade on any of

1552
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the l A receivers here, and um, I can't do

1553
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: it for Baker Mayfield either. By the way, Mayfield's averaging

1554
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: zero point eight touchdowns of production in per game this year.

1555
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Green Bay side. Aaron Jones gets

1556
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: a C grade. Presumably Jones comes out of the bye

1557
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: week healthier because he was running on empty before the

1558
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: bye week, and we're seeing a J. Dillon get a

1559
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: bunch of usage. But Jones is the way better back,

1560
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: and I think assuming he's he's healthy now and he's

1561
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 1: off the injury report, I think he gets most of

1562
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: the work. But the Rams defense has been good all year,

1563
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: even without Aaron Donald the past few weeks. So even

1564
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,560
Speaker 1: if Donald doesn't go, or does even if he doesn't go,

1565
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: it's not a sure thing for Jones. I can get

1566
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: him to a C grade here, and that's it. And

1567
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm putting A. J. Dillon back on the bench because

1568
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: again I think it's gonna be an Aaron Jones lead offense,

1569
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: and the Rams run defense is good. So I'm not

1570
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: starting Aaron Jones in a playoff game. Let's go to

1571
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: the passing game. I'm gonna start with Christian Watson. So

1572
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: in Watson, we have a red hot scorer against Jalen Ramsey,

1573
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 1: who's allowed the most passing touchdowns, including one score every

1574
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: seven receptions. So Watson's touchdown rate is absurd. It's the

1575
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I think eight touchdowns on like thirty receptions, something ridiculous

1576
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: like that. And he's he had a rushing rushing has

1577
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns this season. Yeah, impressed. If you extrapolate him,

1578
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: he's like eight touchdown Yeah. Um. Over the last five weeks,

1579
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: the Rams are allowing the most receptions per game, the

1580
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: fourth most yards per game, and five touchdowns to opposing wideouts.

1581
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of reason to continue to start

1582
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: Christian Watson in this one. I've only got to be

1583
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 1: great on him because I feel like the other shoe's

1584
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: gotta drop at some point. Maybe it's here, but I

1585
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: can't give you, honestly a reason for that other than

1586
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's unsustainable what he's been doing.

1587
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,719
Speaker 1: C grade on Alan Lazard, the Rams have proven themselves

1588
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: capable of supporting massive games from multiple receivers. They allowed

1589
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards or more to both DK

1590
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: Metcalf and Tyler Lockett two weeks ago, ninety or more

1591
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to DeAndre Hopkins and Rondel Moore five weeks ago. So

1592
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: in here, Lazard can do a little something here, But honestly,

1593
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: Watson's killed Lazard this year. The one thing Lazard was

1594
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: good at was scoring touchdowns. That's all dried up now

1595
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,640
Speaker 1: because Watson's getting all of those touchdowns. I can just

1596
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: get the c great on Lazard, but do consider him

1597
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: to be quasi startable in this game. And then that

1598
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: brings us lastly to Aaron Rodgers. Since getting blown out

1599
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: in the opener, Aaron Rodgers has thrown a touchdown pass

1600
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: in every game with multiple scores and nine of the

1601
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: last twelve. The Rams dominated Derek Carr last week, but

1602
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: it surrendered three hundred passing yards or more or three

1603
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 1: to passing touchdowns in three straight games. So I think

1604
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers continues to do okay here, and I've gotta be

1605
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: grind on Aaron Rodgers in this game as well. What

1606
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: makes starters here? Watson's season more remarkable is how he

1607
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: dropped that wide open bomb touched like the first play.

1608
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: It was the first play of their season because the

1609
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: Vikings yeah, and he's like, oh, this isn't gonna work.

1610
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: It's bad at that moment, but and then he didn't

1611
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:01,639
Speaker 1: play for seven weeks and then Watson has gone completely berserk.

1612
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: I want to leave you guys with this. This Jordan

1613
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: Mason cats pretty darn good for San Francisco. I think

1614
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: there's a scenario next season Christian McCaffrey is going to

1615
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: be drafted in like the top five of drafts next year, right,

1616
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: probably top five picks. You'll probably first overall if he justin.

1617
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: Jefferson's gonna make that and make that tricky, but you know,

1618
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: top five, let's from very likely gets hurt at some

1619
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 1: point because it seems to be a lot all the

1620
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 1: McCaffrey has been mostly healthy this year. Jordan Mason's canna

1621
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: end up. He's gonna end up being a factor at

1622
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: some point next season. Don't you feel like San Francisco

1623
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: just keeps finding running backs and keep getting rid of

1624
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: running backs, and it's it's just like his dad, Quick

1625
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan kept finding running backs out of nowhere like olandis

1626
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: Gary and stuff like that. Come on, Hannigans, it's it's

1627
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: it's a remarkable story. Elijah Mitch will be back next

1628
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: year too, and that's gonna muddy things up. But I

1629
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: think Jordan Mason it's better than Eliza Mitchell did. I

1630
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: don't know. That feels like one of those names that

1631
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: we're we're excited about now, but they're totally off the

1632
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: radar by this time next year. Not me. Okay, I'm

1633
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 1: playing my flag. Jordan Mason next year is gonna win

1634
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: some games and maybe even be a league winner if

1635
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is a horrific injury, which we do not

1636
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: wish on anybody. Thank you for listening. Best of luck
