00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice,

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: Now League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to our

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: first regular season edition of Fantasy Football Weekly for year

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: number twenty seven. I am Paul Churchy and my co

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: host today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison from Shock

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Fantasy footballs Back it is baby, Ah. That Thursday night

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: game was so much fun. It was. It was a

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: ton of fun and uh for everybody except Zeke owners.

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Those are the one people that had no fun that night.

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: But you know what, those people probably didn't start him,

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and even if they did, they deserve what they got.

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: At that point. You told him last week, you told

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: him about you told you know what. Listen. I I

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: hate to start a show right off the bat, but

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: if you go back and listen to last week's show

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: in which I previewed the Monday night game, it was uncanny. Yeah.

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to prank, but I absolutely nailed this game,

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: and I might not nail another game all season long.

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Probably that was it. That one we pretty much handled.

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: You lead off well though, Church. Although I gave I

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: gave Zeke a C grade, I should have just given

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: him the bench. I thought he would catch enough that

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: he would get he'd put together a decent PPR week.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't even do that. I'm gonna take

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: a one week victory lap on Antonio Brown being the

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: right receiver. You should right now. It looks very good.

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: It does look good through one week. We've got plenty

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: to get to over the course of the show. We're

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna break down every game fantasy style. We've got take

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: a chance on me in which we give you sleep

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Some of you need sleepers already. If you're me and

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: you Rostered Gus Edwards in like every league in America,

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: or you're me and you roster J. K. Dobbins in

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: every league you're in, yea, then you probably need our

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: take a chance on me players charge. It turns out

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: we don't get to have this argument at all this year.

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Here we were planning it two weeks ago. I know.

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: It's just it's ridiculous which happened. And we will touch

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: on that story much more later in the show. Three

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: tough questions coming up, and the return of everybody's favorite

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: segment premature speculation, which we tell you which players you'll

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up you want to pick up,

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: now what everybody else is trying to pick them up

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: next week? That's premature speculation. First we start breaking down games.

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: Let's do it including game I think is can have

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot of points, Arizona taking on Tennessee. Matt I

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of a grades in this one. Will

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: start with the Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins both getting

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: an A. Tennessee was absolutely brutal last year against the

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: pass and didn't fix that much in the offseason. Only

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: Drew lock and l Jack's run game and a half

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Minshew half Glennan game last season were the only three

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: where they didn't allow multi pull passing scores or at

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: least two hundred fifty yards. Do I like a J Green,

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk or Rondale more enough to start them in

58
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: this juicy matchup, not in a week with no buys.

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I want to see how the snap counts and the

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: targets track for a week. James Conner and Chase Edmonds,

61
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I'd recommend benching both, but if I had to start

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: one for this game, it would be Connor. The Titans

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: gave up five rushing touchdowns to running backs over the

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: final three weeks of the regular season, but we've been

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: preaching this all season. Chase Edmonds had one rush from

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: inside the five and only three attempts from inside the

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: ten last year. I think it's James Conner if they

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: get near the stripe. On the other side, Derrick Henry's

69
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: an easy A grade A J. Brown and Julio Jones

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm giving A grades two as well. According to Pro

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Football Focuses Wide Receiver Cornerback Matchup tool, both A. J.

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: And Julio face the top seven easiest matchups in the

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: league this week against Cardinals cornerbacks Byron Murphy, who allowed

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns in his coverage that last season, and then

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Rob Alford, who, when I googled him, is known as

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the Ski Doo Snowmobile Ambassador. No, that's not that Rob Alfred.

77
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Is he the Judas Priest lead singer? No, that's Rob Halford.

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Way off, I mean, not fonetically. I really wasn't. No,

79
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: you weren't. Uh. A. J. Brown missed a practice on Wednesday,

80
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: but he was staying loose on the stationary bike and

81
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: he dropped off the injury report by Friday, so his

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: game status is not in doubt. If I like Brown

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: and Julio, given Ryan Tannehill in a too. Although Tannehill

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: is only top twenty seven passing attempts in a game

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: twice in his last ten games, he's very efficient. He

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: throws for multiple scores and half of those contests. And

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: by the way, he had six rushing touchdowns from Week

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: twelve on last year. Not something you expect with Derrick

89
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Henry in the backfield. Finally, a little surprised B grade

90
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: here for Anthony fers Er. Ferser was targeted on of

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: his routes last season. To give you an idea of

92
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: how good that is, Travis Kelsey was targeted on twenty

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: of his routes run. I just don't think he's gonna

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: run enough routes. The problem is Johnny was in front him.

95
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Last year. When Johnny wasn't there, Anthony Ferkser was pretty good.

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: He'll go up against card safety Jalen Thompson, who gave

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: up completions in se of the throws in his direction

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: last year. I think Ferkser, if you're playing in that

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: weird tight end game where you don't know who you

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: got the eleventh twelve tight ends in your league. Fers,

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: there's a guy that he's kind of a bonus take

102
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: a chance on me guy right now. Worried about A. J.

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Brown's knee, Okay, let's let's hope that he's okay on

104
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: that it was nagging lingering problem in miss practice wednesday.

105
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm just man, Let's just took him off the injury report, though.

106
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Let's let's hope that Philadelphia takes on Atlanta Scott. Yes, yes, yes, okay.

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: You're not even gonna faint enthusiasm here, are you. It

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: actually should be a pretty high scoring game. Actually, I

109
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: believe it's got the second or third highest over under

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: four the weeks, So I do expect a little bit

111
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: of a shootout here. I'm giving Jalen Hurts. I can't

112
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: believe I'm gonna do this, but I'm gonna stay on

113
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: the upside side of it. I'm gonna I'm gonna give

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: him an A grade. The Eagles should be in a

115
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: negative game script chasing points a little bit in this game. Uh.

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: The offensive line is better than last year. The secondaries

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: very beautiful, beatable, not just very beautiful. This Uh, this

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta secondary. Man. They were eaten alive by rushing quarterbacks

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: last year, and they allowed multiple touchdowns to rushing quarterbacks

120
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: in two quarterbacks in all but three games, So there's

121
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of opportunity here. Hurts averaged over seventy

122
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: yards rushing. If you add all that up, he's got

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: a good chance for for even a QB one like

124
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: first overall week if he gets those rushing yards in

125
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: al right onto his wide receivers. Though, because we got

126
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: to talk about his passing. Actually, Davanta Smith, I give

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: a B grade here. PFF has Atlanta graded as the

128
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: worst secondary in the NFL L and last year allowed

129
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: the most yards to wide receivers, so that tracks, uh,

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: nineteen times they let a receiver get over ninety yards

131
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: and or a touchdown last year nineteen times. Smith should

132
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: get a decent matchup with Fabian Moreau, and no one

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: can match Smith's speeds. So I like him for a

134
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: B grade, but I wouldn't be shocked if he gets

135
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: loose a couple of times. Jalen Reagor I do have

136
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: on the bench. He's getting He's getting a j terrell Um.

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: He's been so hit and miss over his career so far.

138
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: But A J. Terrell is an up and coming You know,

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: he was a rookie last year. We thought he'd be

140
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: last we thought he'd be better. Maybe he turns it

141
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: around in year two. But it's hard to trust Reagor

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: right now. Quez Watkins. He with that fourth three speed,

143
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: he could have a huge as a deep sleeper in

144
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: a DFS dart throw. Watkins is really intriguing. Yeah, he

145
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: plays from the slot and he's you know, he's gonna

146
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: have He's gonna be in a beatable position against a

147
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: below average slot corner. And for people who don't know

148
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Quis Watkins, you remember Travis Fulgum last year was you know,

149
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: fantasy startable in much of the second half of the season.

150
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Quays Watkins beat him out so soundly they dropped full

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: from the roster. If Quais Watkins has a great game,

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: will it be a pop? Quaz, thank you. I'll just

153
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: keep going after that. Zach Ertz and Dallas got Her

154
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I actually have C grades on both of them. I

155
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 1: liked got It more when I thought Artz was gonna

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: be leaving, he didn't leave. And uh Arts is getting

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: more targets and training camp everything supposedly behind him, Urt's

158
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: is fine with staying there. Interesting stad that I failed

159
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: to mention in the preseason last year when Arts and

160
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: got It played together, dust Gottard only got two red

161
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: zone targets in all the games together last year, so

162
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: it seems like it's more the guy there. Atlanta was

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: bottom five against tight ends in several categories last year.

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: And don't forget that Atlanti's front eleven defensive players aren't great.

165
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: That just the front eleven over to the over the

166
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: running back side. I'm giving Sanders a B grade because

167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the he's going to be the starter,

168
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: and he's going to get most of the volume. He's

169
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: got well documented issues catching the ball. Barely caught over

170
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: fifty of his passes last year, and for a running back,

171
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: that's really bad. That's really bad for a running back.

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: The Falcons allowed the second fewest rushing yards and second

173
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: fewest rushing touchdowns, but they and they did get Dion

174
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: Jones back, but they are bottom twelve against passing pass

175
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: game running backs, which they're always at the near at

176
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: or near the bottom. They were the worst for like

177
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: five years in a row, but last year just bottom twelve.

178
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: So I do have a C grade on Boston Scott.

179
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: With the high employed implied point totals for both teams,

180
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: it could be end up with a negative game script.

181
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: Siriano and the O C downplayed the bell cow role

182
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: they want. They want Boston Scott to play that like

183
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: nahem Heinz roll that Siriano had over and with Indianapolis

184
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: last year. And he's been playing the two minute hurry

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: up drill for in practice. So that's that's a feather

186
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: in the cap of Boston Scott there, so see grade

187
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: on him. Over the Atlanta side, I have a B

188
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: grade on Matt Ryan. I think just because potential shootout

189
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: category here. It's one of the week's highest over under.

190
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Eagles allowed multiple touchdowns ten times last year. Um, you

191
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: don't need to look for the button. I instinctively went

192
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: for the button and then stop myself. I wish I

193
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: could have made that happen for you. Uh, Kyle Pitts,

194
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: next time, just lie, just lie, just just be wrong

195
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: for the listeners, Like you're only off by ten percent.

196
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts with an A grade here. Charch isn't loving that,

197
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: but Brian Johnson is fist pumping in right now. Listen

198
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: doesn't played a game yet, and you're giving it to

199
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: a rookie tight end and A grade. I bet Scott's

200
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna give him the fantasy Fonzie here. Let's let's let's

201
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: do it. No, I'm not you want you want the

202
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: fantasy Fonzie, the Fanta. The Eagles allowed no one's benching

203
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: him though right like anyone who drafted him. A big

204
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: gulf between a grade and a bench. The Eagles allowed

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: over five catches per game to tight ends last year

206
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and nine touchdowns. And if you look at how Arthur

207
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Smith utilized John Smith Smith when he was healthy at

208
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season last season, I think there's

209
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism here. I could see in art.

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: You might be playing button next weekend about Kyle pit

211
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: How about name minus? Is that fine? You know that

212
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: that's not cool either. Calvin Ridley gets the A grade

213
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: going up against Darius Slagh, who is no longer the

214
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: sleigh ride that he used to be ranked fifty six

215
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: by PFF this last year. Ridley's averages without Julio Jones

216
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: and he will be without Julio Jones. We're fairly started

217
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: this first game seven point five receptions on eleven point

218
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: three targets for a hundred nine yards, and he scored

219
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: virtually every other game. That's what he does without Julio

220
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: seven for a hundred. I'll take it. Russell Gage, I'm

221
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: giving a C grade also because of the shootout potential,

222
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Also because he's going up against PFFS first ranked Avonte Maddox,

223
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: who allows one two point seven passer rading in his coverage.

224
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Gauge looked good enough last year that I'll trust him

225
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: with a C grade. Here onto the running backs, Mike Davis,

226
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a B grade. It just feels like

227
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: it's might be your best week to use Davis. They

228
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: acquired Goldman, who's still new to the team. Patterson Cordarrel

229
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: Patterson that is has been working as the backup. But

230
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of Mike Davis, who proved

231
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: to be an effective pass catcher last year uh catching

232
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: fifty nine passes at a percent catch rate. Miles Sanders,

233
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: look look across the field of how you're supposed to

234
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: do it. It's the middle of the road, Rundy with

235
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: shootout and a volume back. I'll take that. I'm gonna

236
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: bench the other backs. All right, sounds good final matchup

237
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: of this segment, Minnesota taking on Cincinnati. On the Minnesota side,

238
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Adam Feeland, and Justin Jefferson are all A grades,

239
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: and Cook for obvious reasons. I don't even need to

240
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: explain that. For Theland and Jefferson, they have deeply positive

241
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: matchups against replacement grade cornerbacks. Trey Waynes has been ruled

242
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: out of this game. Cast off cornerbacks Eli Apple and

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: Hidobe Ewoozier and Jefferson, and I think I got it right.

244
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: So there it's a This is a strongly positive matchup

245
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: for all three of them. Kirk Cousins comes in with

246
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: a B grade. Bengals lost their best two cornerbacks in

247
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: the offseason, William Jackson to Washington, Mackenzie Alexander to Minnesota.

248
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Already mentioned Waynes is out, Eli Apple, Hidobe Awoozier are in,

249
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: and even at full strength, the Bengals are badly overmatched

250
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: by Justin Jefferson and Adam Feland. So add all that

251
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: together and it's a very positive matchup for Kirk Cousins.

252
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: The tight end rotation to me is when I'm going

253
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: to avoid Tyler Conklin is tempting, but I'm not ready

254
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: to put him in yet. And he's not even at

255
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: full health yet, So that's a that's too much of

256
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: a concern for me, and I'm not ready to go

257
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: quite that far. Cincinnati side, let's start with Joe Mixon.

258
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: Last year's Viking run defense was brutal, but they've completely

259
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: rebuilt their entire front four, including epic runs stuffing defensive

260
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: tackle Michael Pierce, who was one of the league's best

261
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: run defenders in twenty nineteen before he opted out last season.

262
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: The Bagel's offensive line looks like a bottom tier unit,

263
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: even with the additions of Riley Reefs. So I'm nervous

264
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: about Joe Mixon here, but through sheer volume he should

265
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: be able to get to a B. It's just revenge

266
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: games on both sides of the ball here. Well, it

267
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: is interesting enough, and Riley Reef's gonna go up against

268
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: as a former Viking. We'll go up against Daniel Hunter,

269
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: which would be a fantastic match. We are worth watching.

270
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: U Let's go to the passing game. Joe Burrow comes

271
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: in with a sea here. Hasn't played since last November,

272
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: barely participated in the preseason games looked hesitant and inaccurate.

273
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: In training camp, the Vikings defense dramatically improved over the

274
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: version you saw last year. The week seventeen Minnesota Viking

275
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: defense the last and we saw them. We'll have ten

276
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: of eleven new starters on defense, and they're all improvements.

277
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: All ten of them are better than the ten guys

278
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: they're replacing, including Patrick Peterson now in the secondary from Minnesota,

279
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Burrow was on pace to throw six hundred passes before

280
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: last year's a c L, so I think through sheer

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: volume he comes up with an okay day enough for

282
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: a C grade here, but that's as high as I'm

283
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: willing to take him. On this first game back, Tee

284
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Higgins gets a B grade. I mentioned Patrick Peterson as

285
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: the team's best cornerback now, and traditionally Zimmer had used

286
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Mike zimmerd used his best and biggest cornerback to shadow

287
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: opposing top receiver receivers, but in recent years he's more

288
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: anchored his best cornerback on one side of the field.

289
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's if he's gonna revert back

290
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: to that or not, but assuming he doesn't, that means

291
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins can avoid Peterson anytime he plays on the

292
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: other side of the field. So the presumption here is

293
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: that Higgins will be free enough to earn his B

294
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: grade against Brish Odd Bland. Tyler Boyd gets a C

295
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: grade running out of the slot. McKenzie Alexander returns to

296
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota where he will resume his slot cornerback role, and

297
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: he could very well hold Tyler Boyd in check. McKenzie

298
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: Alexanders yielded three touchdowns in three seasons in his coverage.

299
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: That's it one a season with Burrow last year Boyd

300
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: average day ho homes six receptions, sixty six yards, and

301
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: point three touchdowns per game. This is okay. That feels

302
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: like okay, that's a C grade. Last thing Jamar Chase

303
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: after the preseason that he had, I think there's no

304
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't start him here. I don't think any now.

305
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Let's just wait a week and see what develops. I

306
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: think you get some hand a handful of short confidence

307
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: building passes for Jamaar Chase, but based on what we saw,

308
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: we cannot end up starting him. When we come back

309
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly, take a chance on me. Nine

310
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup will tell you

311
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: who you can start that maybe even is available on

312

Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Is a free agent right now, We'll

313
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,440

00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the quarterback I'm going to give

315
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: you is probably better than your starting quarterback. Find out

316
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: who it is when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: the one that we used at the tail end of

322
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: last year. I had forgot about that. We we got

323
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: the permission from this band. That's right. This is the

Speaker 1: is awesome. Wow. Alright, Anyway, we've still got full season

326

Speaker 1: join the most exciting new format and fantasy sports happening

328
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday morning before kickoff, that is available take

329
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: a chance, I mean nine players not normally in your

330
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Many of these guys are available on the

331
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: waiver wire. And you can pick them up and start them.

332
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: This week, we begin with Scott Fish and the quarterback position.

333
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start out with Ben Roethlisberger. The matchup isn't

334
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: what you would naturally think is great against the Bills,

335
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't do great against the Bills last year,

336
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: but that was at the tail end of the year

337
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: when his arm was starting to die off and when

338
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: the team kind of fell apart in the run game

339
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: was non existent. They had like forty yards rushing that

340
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: they were forced to pass, and the Bills clamped down

341
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: on that. In this one, He's got Nag Harris's outlet,

342
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: He's got all three of his receivers a little better.

343
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: The arms looked better in the preseason, and they're gonna

344
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: be They should be behind so the game. There's seven

345
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: point dogs in this one. I feel like they'll be

346
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: chasing points that Ben. Give me Ben in this one. Okay,

347
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: your take a chance of me quarterback Matt This is risky,

348
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: but I'm going with Mac Jones, a rookie in his

349
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: first start against the division rival. Not only that he

350
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: gets to face off against the guy who was ahead

351
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: of him on the death chart at Alabama. UH the

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: line is very sound in front of Mac Jones, and

353
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I like this so much.

354
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton enjoyed the seventh most time in a clean

355
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: pocket with a past attempt last year, and he still

356
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything with it. And that's why Cam Newton's

357
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: not on this team anymore. Consider that UM according to

358
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: Pro Football focuses strength of schedule, the metrics that rate

359
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: each team defense. Based on their grades of this year's defense,

360
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins are the second easiest defense for quarterbacks.

361
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: The Dolphins defense faltered against the past down the stretch

362
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: as well. They allowed over three yards or multiple scores

363
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: to three of the last four quarterbacks they faced, and

364
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: the only one who didn't, Cam Newton figures might take

365
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: a chance of quarterback is rostered in three percent of leagues. Oh,

366
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I wonder who that is. If there was ever a

367
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: game to start Jimmy Garoppolo. Trey Lance is nursing a

368
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: cracked finger bone, which means the threat of him platooning

369
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo is very low and Garoppolo is going to

370
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: have all of his weapons healthy. That never happened once

371
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: last year. I you Kittle, Samuel all healthy, and of

372
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: course the Kuda gras. It's Detroit on the schedule. The

373
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: Lions allowed the most passing touchdowns and the third most

374
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: passing yards, and and on paper, the defense looks worse

375
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: this year somehow. So you roll all that together and

376
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity to start Jimmy Garppolo, currently ranked

377
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: my number ten quarterback for this week. I hope his

378
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: kneecaps stay intact, though against the Lions they do like

379
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: to bite him. Yeah, they'll take out kneecaps. Let's go

380
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: to the running back position, Scott, let's stay right there

381
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: with Tray Sermon gets the Lions, who allowed the most

382
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs last year as well nearly two

383
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: per game, allowed over a hundred and sixty yards per

384
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: game to the position. But here's here's the better, better part.

385
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: I like San Francisco should get ahead early in games

386
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: day won last year, running backs averaged thirty five touches

387
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: in those wins. Raheemostard has only had more than nineteen

388
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: touches once in his entire career. I think we're looking

389
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: at fifteen twenty touches for each back this game. At

390
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: least ten to fifteen for sermon minimum though, is there

391
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: any rookie you don't love in his first NFL game?

392
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Apparently not. That was Matt with the last one. Well

393
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: you gave Kyle Pitts an a. We're not gonna let

394
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: that go quietly into the night running. But yes, against

395
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: the Lions, I will love it. Okay, Uh, Matt, let's

396
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: go to your take a chance of me running back.

397
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an older running back and he's going

398
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: up against the Jaguars this week. But let's review the

399
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: running backs that torch the Jags down the stretch and

400
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: their measurements. Jonathan Taylor five ten to David Montgomery five

401
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: of ten to two, Derrick Henry six three six, Nick

402
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: Chubb five ten. You get the big, big big backs.

403
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: So mark Ingram is five nine to fIF that's okay.

404
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay five eighty, David Johnson six one to four.

405
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: That's the guy. In his full game against the Jags

406
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: last year, he told the hundred and three yards. It's

407
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: also worth noting the Jags allowed the sixth most receptions

408
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: to the running back position last year, and Philip Lindsay

409
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: and mark Ingram both were not involved in their respective

410
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: passing games at all last year. David Johnson, there's a

411
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: starting NFL running back who is probably available in your league.

412
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: There's a reason. Probably you've been poo pooing him all year.

413
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: He's not all year. How about for like four years.

414
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: He's not technically good. But Tevin Coleman, rostered in just

415
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: twent of Yahoo leagues, is the probable starter for the Jets,

416
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: and it's a face. It's a favorable matchup against Carolina.

417
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: New York's offensive line sports two recent first round picks,

418
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: and Coleman should have some running lanes against last year's

419
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty four ranked run defense. New defensive line editions the

420
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: Kwon Jones and Morgan Fox might actually be downgrades from

421
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: last year's front four, and Carolina's run defense was particularly

422
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: bad at the end of last year, giving up five

423
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry over the final seven

424
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: games of the year. It's go to the wide receiver position, Scott.

425
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: Let's just stick with rookies. Then right here comes it's

426
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: Dammy Brown season. Finally Brown season. It's fine, We've been

427
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: waiting so long, I have I have anyway, Curtis Samuel

428
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: put on, I R Dammy Brown coming out? What he

429
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: does well. What he does well is run down the

430
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: field really fast and go up for contested catches and

431
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: catch ball and us touchdown. And he is paired with

432
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. That is the perfect combo right there with

433
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel out. He should see a fall compliment his snaps.

434
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Finally and he's looked good. All right, Matt, I'm going

435
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: to the tight end position and I have Hunter Henry

436
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: who is not on the injury report, which if you've

437
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: ever had him on your fantasy team, you know that's significant. Obviously,

438
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: John Whu Smith is tight end one on this roster

439
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: and everyone knows this, including the Dolphins. So what does

440
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick do? He deploys the mismatches with Henry and

441
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: John who on the field at the same time. In

442
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: their last nine games last season, Yeah, there is, the

443
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins allowed five touchdowns to the tight end position, including

444
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: one two then charger Hunter Henry. Oh and by the way,

445
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Darren Waller each beat them for over

446
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: a hundred yards in the month of December. Oh, Hunter

447
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Henry mine Is Paris Campbell might take a chance on

448
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: me wide receiver going up against Seattle play Paris Campbell,

449
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: while you can sure it's only a matter of time

450
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: before Campbell succumbs to some bizarre malady that will knock

451
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: come out for half of the Sea. He's already gotten

452
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: achilles injury he's dealing with, but he's going to play

453
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: with it. It might be Goiterer's leprosy, inverted nipples, ibs.

454
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: Who knows that it's something's gonna go wrong. But what's

455
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: important is that he's got a juicy matchup in the

456
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: season opener this week. Would they call inverted nipples just

457
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: upper body injury? That probably probably in the hockey they

458
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: would for Campbell plays from the slot, and that's the

459
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: massive week point. In the Seattle secondary, He'll avoid the

460
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: solid outside corners they've got Trey Flowers and DJ Read

461
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: and instead he'll see some combination of two different safeties

462
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: playing cornerback, Marquis Blair and or Ugo Amadi. Blair has

463
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: seventy seven NFL snaps under his belt, and Amadi allowed

464
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: seventy the passes in his coverage last year to be caught.

465
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: I know you haven't seen much of of Paris Campbell

466
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: throughout his career, but remember he was a freakish athlete

467
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: with crazy speed. With t Y Hilton out extra passes

468
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: coming to Paris Campbell, Let's go to one more matchup, Matt,

469
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: and that would be Jackson Bill taking on Houston. Yeah,

470
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: let's start with James Robinson. He gets the A grade.

471
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Over the final five games of the Houston Texans allowed

472
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: six point three yards per carry two opposing running backs.

473
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: They also allowed two points seven yards before contact, the

474
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: worst mark in the league. This might be juicy enough

475
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: for Carlos Hide in the revenge game to get get

476
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: a bikey start, but I'll stick with James Robinson as

477
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: the AH Trevor Lawrence. I'm only giving a C grade

478
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: to the matchup is right for the running backs in

479
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: this game, so it seems reasonable the Jags wouldn't have

480
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the rookie throw forty times in his first appearance, although

481
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: if he does drop back that much. Houston defense had

482
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: just seven percent pressure rate on pass plays last year.

483
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: That was third worst in the league, and they had J. J.

484
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: Watt for a little bit of that. As far as

485
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: the wide receivers go, I don't really like any of

486
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: them that much. I have se grades on DJ Chark,

487
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: Lavisca Chennault, and Marvin Jones Jr. The best matchup is

488
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: against Vernon Hargraves, the third who's playing for Houston, and

489
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: he's not very good at his job as opposed to

490
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: other people in the league. In man coverage last year,

491
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: he allowed an abysmal pass a rating of one forty

492
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: one point two. Jones and Chennault each ran a majority

493
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: of the routes from the slot last year, but in

494
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: this matchup, three wide receivers will rarely be on the

495
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: field because get this, the Texans only faced a hundred

496
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: and fifty four snaps last year where a slot corner

497
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: was deployed. Wow, that's bizarre. Nobody played three wide receivers

498
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: against them because they sucked. I'm nervous that there's only

499
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: twenty five passes thrown in this game by Lawrence, and

500
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: since I don't fully know how each will be deployed,

501
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: I'd rather not start any of them. If I have to,

502
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: it would be Chennault first, possibly for carries, then Jones,

503
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: then Chark in that order. On the other side, Brandon

504
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: Cooks good old b C. His initials. That's what I'd

505
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: like to give him as a grade to somewhere between

506
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: those two letters. Um looks like he will have a

507
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: matchup against Shakil Griffin, who allowed seven touchdowns in his

508
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: coverage last year down the stretch. Last year, Cooks became

509
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's favorite target. But he's obviously not playing in

510
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: Houston this week. Tyrod Taylor is, and let's talk about him.

511
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Last year, in his single start for the Chargers, he

512
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: lit up the bengals amazing defense for yards and no scores.

513
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: And in fact, in his career in games he started,

514
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: he's averaging two two passing yards and a whopping one

515
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. We poke fun at Teddy Bridgewater's career numbers,

516
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: but he's way worse. Uh. The Jaguars did give up

517
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns to nine of the last ten quarterbacks they

518
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: faced last year, but we're still keeping Tiroud on the

519
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: bench as we are with the rest of the receiver's

520
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Anthony Miller, Danny Ammondla David Johnson. Of course,

521
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: this might take a chance on me runner and then

522
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. I think that he's a c start as well.

523
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Being is that he's tops on the depth chart right now,

524
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: and this is a good matchup for running backs. I'm

525
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna leave Ingram on the bench, but I wonder if

526
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: the Texans could trade mark Ingram back to the Ravens

527
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: for a late round pick. I think at this point

528
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: that that that chip has sailed for better or worse. Hey,

529
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to say happy birthday to my dad, who's

530
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: enjoying his seventy one birthday this weekend. Fantastic. Thank you

531
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: for having a great kid, dad. How about that? Um?

532
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: When we come back, more matchups, including Pittsburgh taking on Buffalo.

533
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: Now g Harris makes his debut. Scott Fish will tell

534
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: you what to expect from him. Is it an A

535
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: or is it a plus or A? He's getting the

536
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy ard Park he might get, he might get the

537
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy Ardvark. Well, there's your Ardark first art park of

538
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: the season right there coming out. That's my prediction. We'll

539
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: find out if it comes true when we come back

540
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly continues Paul Charchi

541
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish and and Matt Harrison with you. You

542
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: can follow us on Twitter. I'm at Paul Charchian, Scott

543
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: is at Scott Fish twenty four, and Matt is at

544
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Explosive Output. Yeah. Pittsburgh takes on Buffalo Scott and let's

545
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: start with the running game, shall we. There's an intriguing

546
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: rookie named Naji Harris who will be starting for the

547
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Will he break the all time single game

548
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: rushing record in this game? No? No, I don't have

549
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: him doing that against the Buffalo Bills wrote underdogs, So

550
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: the game script isn't great in a game that they

551
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: may fall behind, But Naji is pretty good in the

552
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: past game. Should have the volume on both of those fronts.

553
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: His match up against the linebackers is where he's gonna

554
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: make his Hey, it's mostly an a for volume because

555
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to see any way. He doesn't get touches. Alright,

556
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: great shocking, really really shocked. Thanks. Where do you have

557
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: him in your ranks? Top ten? I'm sure I'll tell

558
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: in a minute. All right. I already talked about ben

559
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: uh In to take a chance on me segments. So

560
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: let's go to his receivers. I have to Deonte Johnson

561
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: with a B grade. The Bills were the fourth best

562
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: against fantasy wide receivers and PFF has them as a

563
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: top five secondary. They were top six in yards and touchdowns.

564
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Allowed last year. Despite that, Johnson's target hog. The game

565
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: script is going to be perfect for him trailing, and

566
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: he averaged over eleven targets per game last year when

567
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: he played over fifty of the snaps. That's a lot

568
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: of volume. Sous White might be on him, but they

569
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: are able to move Deontay around quite a bit, and

570
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: White only shadowed his opposing receiver five times out of

571
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: the sixteen games last year, and these are a lot

572
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: of good receivers, so they might just keep him on

573
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: his on the left side where he likes to play.

574
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool I got a C grade. He had thirteen

575
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: red zone targets, was top ten in air yards last

576
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: year in a limited role. As a full starter, I

577
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: think he would get a little more work. He can

578
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: out muscle anyone for the ball. I'm going to give

579
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: him that C grade. He's the third of the receivers.

580
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: I like this week though, because I feel like where

581
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: you can beat the Buffalo Bills is short. So I

582
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: like Deonte and I like Juju. I think it's a

583
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: tough matchup for overall, but Juju should see a decent

584
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: amount of work close to close to the middle of

585
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: the field. Guys like Alan and Cup and Crowder and

586
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of slot receivers had really good games last

587
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: year against these Bills. So I got a B grade there.

588
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: Over to the other side, Josh Allen, I got an

589
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: A grade. T J. Watt's gonna be back. It sounds like,

590
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, he got finally got that settled. But the

591
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: Bills have a twenty seven and a half implied total there,

592
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of points to be had.

593
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: UM no QB overhead over three hundred yards and no

594
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: QB through for more than two touchdowns against Pittsburgh last year,

595
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: but Allen was one of them that that had high

596
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: two hundreds and two touchdowns and they added a bunch

597
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: of rushing yards. Those rushing yards really helped for Alan

598
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: A grade there. Uh, Stefon Diggs, I think the A

599
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: is pretty obvious US. Yeah, he's gonna either get Hayden

600
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: who's thirty two, or Cameron Sutton, who's like in p

601
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: F F Frankin's um. As for the other receivers, Davis Sanders, Beasley.

602
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: Sanders is very questionable for this game. He popped back

603
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: up on the injury report. If he doesn't go, there

604
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: might be a dart throw for Davis, but otherwise I'm

605
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: benching because it's a little too mucky. Yeah, to the

606
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: running game, it's a it's a lot more muck, a

607
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: lot more muck. Uh. Singletary based on camp talk in

608
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: preseason usage uh, and he's the explosive guy. I mean

609
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: he's he's top ten in the league and plays over

610
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: ten yards and plays over twenty yards since he entered

611
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: the league. He's the explosive guy. But he gets no

612
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: goal line work. That's moss. So we don't know what

613
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: either of them are gonna get until I know more

614
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: of the usage. I don't want any of them in

615
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: my lineup. Devin Singletary just does nothing for me when

616
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: I watch him. He just I don't see anything that

617
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: any part of his game that pops for me. They're

618
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: both pretty ordinary in my mind right now. Zach was

619
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: last year, but this is year two and we've seen Singletary.

620
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: I got a lot more, lot more tape on Singletary

621
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: mental tape. I'm not breaking down Singletary tape. Charges take

622
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: on Washington and this might be the hardest game of

623
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: the year for justin air Bear, are you saying the

624
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: air Bear is scared. No, I'm not. Thankfully, the Charges

625
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: upgraded as offensive line in the off season. They got

626
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: Corey Linsley and Rashawn Slater, and they will be tested

627
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: against the best front four in football, including elite rusher's

628
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Chase Young, Jonathan Allen, and Montes Sweat. From Week six forward,

629
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: Washington allowed just one passing touchdown per game and only

630
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: one quarterback topped two hundred seventy six yards Week six

631
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: forward for Washington last year, and their secondary got better

632
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: with the addition of William Jackson. So' all that together.

633
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on on Justin air Bear

634
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: and I'm I contemplated having him with It's it's I

635
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: have concern here for Keenan Allen. Washington secondary yielded second

636
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: fewest scores the fifth fewest yards to opposing receivers. I

637
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: don't like that. It looks like um Washington is gonna

638
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: move cornerback Kendall Fuller to the slot and he'll be

639
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Allen's primary defender. He was pretty good last year. He

640
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: held opponents scoreless in twelve or fifteen games, and he

641
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: went a had a five game scoreless stretch to close

642
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: the season. So B grade and Keenan Allen. Mike Williams

643
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: missed most of the preseason with a hip injury, but

644
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: he's practicing and he should play here. And he's Williams

645
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: entering his fifth season, Mike Williams. And if he's five

646
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: seasons and he's twenty six years old, he's still just

647
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: a baby. There's still room to improve, which would be nice.

648
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Um Williams Ligns up all over the field, but most

649
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: frequently see cornerback Darryl Roberts, who has been cast aside

650
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: by the Lions the Jets over the past two years.

651
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: That is a very plus matchup for Mike Williams, who

652
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: I like in this one quite a bit. A B

653
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: grade from Mike Williams. The other receivers Jalen Guyden and

654
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: rookie Josh Palmer on the bench, they're gonna their third

655
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: receiver due tease, and you know what their roles maybe

656
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: is not clear And this is a tough matchup, so

657
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: I don't want a part of it. All right, Let's

658
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: talk Austin Neckla where things get thorny. He practiced on

659
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday with with a hamstring

660
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: injury and no injury is more susceptible to aggravation than

661
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: a running backs hamstring injury. I mean, this is and

662
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: you know that's that's what sidelined him for whatever eight

663
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: games last year. I love the new improved offensive line,

664
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: but Washington's run defense was good last year. They allowed

665
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: the ninth fewest rushing yards the fourth fewest combo yards

666
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. No back caught more than five

667
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: passes against Washington all last year, and that's why we

668
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: have Austin Ekeler. So I've got a C grade on Eckler,

669
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: and I'm baking in some of the danger of him

670
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: not finishing this game, which I'm very real. Next on

671
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: the Washington side, we'll start with their running back Antonio Gibson,

672
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: with a B grade. No back top eighty two rushing

673
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: yards against the Chargers in the entire second half of

674
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: last year. They weren't impenetrable. They only give up four

675
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: point They get at four point six yards per carry,

676
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: which right in the in the middle of the pack.

677
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: And while we all hope that Gibson will catch more passes,

678
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: the charges were very good there too. Over the final

679
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: ten games of last year, opposing runners over only averaged

680
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine receiving yards per game, and they scored one

681
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: total touchdown over that long stretch to finish the year.

682
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: So I'm nervous about Gibson and I've only got a

683
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: B grade on him. Let's go to the passing game.

684
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick has a B grade. Unlike any recent Washington quarterback,

685
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick impressed the ball down field last year. He finished

686
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: eleventh and completed air yards and eighth and yards per attempt. That,

687
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: by the way, despite having the second shortest time to throw.

688
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: Because Fitzpatrick Fitzpatrick is, he will stand in that pocket

689
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: and absorb, you know, absolute destruction to his body, which

690
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: I love. Um. The return of elite safety Derwin James

691
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: helps an inconsistent secondary that worries me. They spent a

692
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: draft pick on a Sante Samue, which which could be

693
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: a concern at some point, but it's just his first

694
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: ever game. B grade on Ryan Fitzpatrick. Let's go to

695
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: his receivers, specifically Terry McLaurin with an A grade. He

696
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: averaged seventy yards per game with Dwayne Haskins and Alex

697
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Smith and case Keenum throwing him the ball the last

698
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: few years. Now he gets a gun slinger to throw

699
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the ball downfield, and I love the opportunity for him

700
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: to open up this offense. The Chargers defense good. I

701
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: mentioned a Sante Samuel got added to a second day

702
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: that was already giving up the seventh few yards to

703
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: opposing receivers. Um McLaurin has an experienced advantage over Samuel, though,

704
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: so we'll keep him with the A grade. And the

705
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: last guy I want to really talk about his Logan Thomas.

706
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: Thomas ran over six his snaps from the slot, the

707
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: third highest percentage among tight ends. He was also targeted

708
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: the third most times one five times. Last season, The

709
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Chargers allowed the twelfth most fantasy points to tight end

710
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: and the fourth most touchdowns. Thomas's will most oftense. He

711
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: coverage from linebacker Kenneth Murray, who struggled as a rookie

712
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: last year and graded is the tenth worst rookie of

713
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: tenth worst linebacker in coverage by Pro Football Focus. So

714
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: I like logan Thomas and he's gotta be grade Diamie Brown,

715
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: was your take a chance on me? Wide receiver? By

716
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: the way, Thomas over a thousand snaps last year, like

717
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that was first among tenants. He's just always

718
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: on the field, which is what we need that, right

719
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want that? We all do alright. Final matchup

720
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: of this segment is the New York Jets taking on

721
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: Carolina Matt Yeah. Um, let's start with the obvious guy here,

722
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold, who gets a C grade. This grade reflects

723
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: my fear of a Brian Johnson backlash if I leave

724
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Not actually, but he will be

725
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: going up against the once grade C. J Moseley, who

726
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: hasn't played meaningful football since the end of so I

727
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: kind of like Dan Arnold in this little bit here,

728
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: and let's let's give him a see, also giving his

729
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: passing partner Sam Donald a C. Almost every quarterback to

730
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: face the Jets last year had a good day. It's

731
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: too many of the list, but three hundred yards and

732
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: three passing scores was very common, and Donald should know.

733
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: He got to dominate this defense in practice for three years.

734
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: So here's the revenge game right off the bat. It's

735
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: hard to remember a lot of great Sam Donald moments,

736
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: but against bottom eight past defenses in his career, he's

737
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: fared pretty well in those seven career starts against bottom

738
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: eight pass defenses and the Jets were holding one of

739
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: those spots a lot of the time. He's averaging two

740
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: seventy five yards and one point six touchdowns per game.

741
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: That's not bad. It doesn't hurt that he had now

742
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: has good wide receivers to including one of his favorites

743
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: from his old Jets days, Robbie Anderson, who had his

744
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: best years as a pro with Donald. The two connected

745
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: for eleven touchdowns in twenty five career games. I'm giving

746
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and d J Moore a b. Anderson gets

747
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Bryce Hall, who gave up a passer rating of one

748
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: oh three in his coverage last year, while DJ Moore

749
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: goes against undrafted free agent rookie Isaiah Donne. I'm not

750
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: going to put Terrace Marshall on the field, even though

751
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: Scott Fish wants to. I'm gonna give him the weight

752
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: and c grade um he was. He was a great

753
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: preseason player. But if you have drafted a few wide receivers,

754
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: you probably have a few ahead of terrorists the fourth

755
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: receiving option on that team. That's completely understanding. That's true.

756
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, he gets an a. We're moving on to

757
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: the running game on the Jet side where charts use

758
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: Tevin coleman as to take a chance on me runner,

759
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: and we're gonna sit and wait on Michael Carter or

760
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson to see how that one shakes out. Zack Wilson,

761
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: he gets a C grade. This is a really a

762
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: tale of how bad the Jets defense is for me

763
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 1: and how I foresee a lot of garbage time coming

764
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: their way the season now. Brian Johnson submitted the names

765
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: carbage time for Derek Carr back on the day dart

766
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: board ledge time for Bartles worked for me, So I

767
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: submit for your approval. Chart scraps Wilson, Oh, I like,

768
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get the scraps at the end of

769
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: the game. Scraps at the end of the game. The

770
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: Panthers only intercepted two passes in the final eight games

771
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: last year. Both were off of Dwayne Haskins. So Zack

772
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: Wilson and garbage time in Scraps Wilson time. I like his.

773
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: His top receiver of the week is gonna be Corey Davis,

774
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: and I'm giving him a solid beat. The Jets will

775
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 1: need to throw off in the second half, likely deep,

776
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: and Davis was a ninth in the NFL with fifteen

777
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: point one yards per catch last year, and his average

778
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: depth of target was a robust twelve point five yards. Uh.

779
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: And then finally, the last receiver that I want to

780
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: talk about, Jamison Crowder. He's gonna miss the game with

781
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: an injury. So fire up Elijah Moore with a C grade.

782
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: Scott Fish is gonna like that. There we go A

783
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: j Booyer was set to start at slot corner, but

784
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: he's serving the final two games of his pe D suspension,

785
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: leaving fifth round rookie Keith Taylor or Stanley Thomas Oliver

786
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: to cover the slot. Thomas Oliver gave up a passer

787
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: rating of one fifty three in his fifty two snaps

788
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: lest season almost snap almost. So hey, let's go with

789
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: j Elijah Moore as a C grade. Well done. You

790
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: brought actual enthusiasm to the Jets Panthers game. I like that.

791
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be that is that is that

792
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: is fun? All right? I want I want to We've

793
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: got about a minute left in in this segment. What

794
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of concern for Ezekiel Elliott owners

795
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: coming off the dismal Thursday night game. Some I think

796
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: it's some yeah, yeah, I think there's going to be

797
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot of panicked owners in your league's are trying

798
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: to wanting to trade him, or you might be able

799
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: to get a good deal off of him. But honestly,

800
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: I thought Paulard looked a little better than Zeke blocking

801
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: a bunch is blocking was great in that game. It

802
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: was that does not help fantasy owners at all, paular did.

803
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: I thought he ran harder. Tampa is a legendarily good

804
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: that is the run defense, and so we gotta take

805
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: this with a grain assault like running back twenty four.

806
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was very nervous. Here's that

807
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: everybody going against Tampa. I think it should be compared

808
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: to where you drafted him because I felt like he

809
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: was overdrafted. I didn't have him in my top five

810
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: running backs where most people did this This show, this

811
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: show has figured that out many times in the past.

812
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: Our number two coming up, including three tough questions. You

813
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: can play along as we try as my co host

814
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: try to go three and oh Stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly.

Speaker 1: teen league drafts happening Saturday and Sunday morning. You can

820

823
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,120

824
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: this is this is your chance. And if you have

825
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: a strange amount of owners, like you have nine people

826
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: who want to play a fantasy league, you don't have

827
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: to about getting the even number. You just head to head.

828
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, if you got an odd number you

829
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: don't have, you can you can actually get away with

830
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: it in a guillotine like. Good job of fleshing out

831
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: what an odd number was. Well, you're pretty good at

832
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: dividing by two, so let's see if you can do

833
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: nine divided by two. I can't too hard. There's a

834
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: game we call three tough questions. I will pepper my

835
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: co host with three tough questions. They will try to

836
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: go three and oh, we encourage you to play a lot.

837
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: Tough question number one which Ravens running back will score

838
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: the most Fantasy points this year? Scott, I'm just gonna

839
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: stick with Tyson Williams. This is the guy that Matt

840
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: Waldman and football guys in the RSP profile said give

841
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: him one to two years and he has the talent

842
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: to outplay a lot of draft picks. He he liked

843
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: him a lot. The team seems to like him a lot.

844
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: They did bring in Lottavius Murray, who feels like a

845
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: really good fit for that Ravens offense. The quotes coming

846
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: out of there this week seemed to indicate that they

847
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: want Levian Bell to be involved. He's just doesn't have

848
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: his legs under him yet, so it's gonna be kind

849
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: of gross. But they run the ball a ton, and

850
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give it to the young guy because

851
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: he's the one that's been there all through camp and

852
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: on the practice squad last year as well. All Right, Matt,

853
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: which Ravens running back will score the most Fantasy points

854
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: this year? I just want to know if you're a

855
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: fan of eighth year running backs, because that's what Levian

856
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: Bell is in his eighth year, Lottavius Murray eighth year.

857
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: Even if you go to Davante Freeman. He's in his

858
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: eighth year. Tyson Williams is a twenty five year old,

859
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: which is old for a rookie. Second, but big dude,

860
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: six ft zero, I'm not gonna go with an eighth

861
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: year alright, Greece, Scott Fish Tyson Williams. Correct answer is

862
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams. And by the way I've learned watching went

863
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: back and watched a lot of Tyson Williams to you know,

864
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: get all prepped up on this and and that's how

865
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: they were pronouncing his name, Tyson, not Tyson, so just

866
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: the apost Tyson. You never know. But and that's that's

867
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: the case here. Um. As of three days ago, he

868
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: was the only Ravens runner on the team. Right, that's

869
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: a well, a massive institutional advantage was there until I'm

870
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: talking about guys who do not have blown out um,

871
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: and that gives him the chance to establish himself as

872
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: a viable lead back in the first month of the

873
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: season by being good and listen to the defenses that

874
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: are coming up. The Raiders on Monday Night ranked twenty

875
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: five and rushing yards allowed last year, then the Chiefs

876
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: they ranked three, then the Lions and then the Broncos

877
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty two last year in rushing yards allowed that easy

878
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: runway in is going to establish Tyson Williams as the

879
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: go to back. And if you're worried about the pass

880
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: catching side with be On Bell, they threw a running

881
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: backs fifty times last year total. I thought maybe that's

882
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: a fluke fifty one the year before. They just don't

883
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: do that. Um Lottavias Murray has been a relief back

884
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: since seen and even that year he was supposed to

885
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: be a backup. He just he is what he is,

886
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: which is a role player backup back, and that's what

887
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: Ottavias Murray's is going to remain tough. Question Number two

888
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolos rostered in three percent

889
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: of fantasy leagues. Is that appropriate or is that a mistake? Man,

890
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: At least for the first few weeks. It's a mistake

891
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: because he should be on rosters. The Niners get the

892
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: Lions this week, he should put up nice points in

893
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: that game. The Eagles next week, same thing. After that,

894
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: home games against the Packers and Seahawks both have very

895
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: burnable secondaries and should be more of a shootout. And

896
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: then at Arizona the next week. That should be more

897
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: of the same. Their secondaries not great either. Then they

898
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: go into a by and come out of the bye

899
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: in Week seven against the Colts on Sunday Night football.

900
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna make a switch, it would make

901
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: sense in the week six by. But they're gonna be

902
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: five and oh after the first five weeks, so it's

903
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: a mistake. He belongs on rosters until they name Trey

904
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: Lance the starter. The green Bay game could be a loss. Yeah,

905
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think I disagree with the

906
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: green Bay part um. Uh my. My instinct is to say,

907
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: now they're they're twelve fourteen quarterbacks that everybody's gonna have

908
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: on rosters and be starting because they drafted them as starters.

909
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: And that's why he's at three percent. You can pick

910
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: him up off waivers for the next few weeks. But

911
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: I think Matt kind of convinced me on the fly there,

912
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: given that schedule, I would want him on my roster,

913
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: So I can, you know, make the matchup play for

914
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: a few of those correct, That is the correct answer.

915
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: He should be on right, it should be he should

916
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: be rostered. You get the here's the advantages that come

917
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, the best offensive coach in the NFL,

918
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. He is throwing to three receivers everybody loves

919
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: universally Kittle. Are you can, Samuel? And you mentioned the schedule,

920
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: which was which is a no brainer. Four of the

921
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: first five games are easy for him. All those reasons

922
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: together and Jimmy Garoppolo should be rostered. He was might

923
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback. He was a really

924
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: tough question. Number three. I told you the answer earlier.

925
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: You did, uh, Scott, Yeah, we're one year removed from

926
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson being the second highest scoring fantasy quarterback this year.

927
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: What grade will he most commonly get from Fantasy Football

928
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: weekly hosts and A, A, B, A C or a

929
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: bench grade? Ah See, I wanted to say his most

930
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: common grade will be ungraded take a chance on me players, Winston,

931
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: but take a chance of me. Players can still get grade, Yes,

932
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: they still can. Uh. He has the field that take

933
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Guy, he's got He's got a

934
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: schedule that's uh supposedly tenth easiest for quarterbacks according to

935
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy Points and second to easiest schedule for quarterbacks according

936
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: to pro FO Pro Football Focus, however, the front five

937
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: is one of the worst in the league so early on,

938
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of them. But I'm gonna say

939
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot of B grades come the

940
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: end of the come the second half, B is your aunt. Alright,

941
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: Matt should what grade will Jamis Winston most commonly get

942
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: from Fantasy Football Weekly hosts, A, B, C or bench.

943
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: I went through the schedule. I gave him three a's,

944
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: nine B s, and five c's. However, so be is

945
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: my answer right now. But there's caveat here. If Taysom

946
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: Hill gets meaningful snaps in these first couple of weeks

947
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: and and Jamis Winston's not on the field, fully, we're

948
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna move him down a full letter grade on each

949
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: of those. So if if Taysom Hill is getting work,

950
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: he's probably a C grade player. I also estimated all

951
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: seventeen games and had good for you and almost dead

952
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: even distribution four four four four, But one of them

953
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: had a five five and that was the B grade.

954
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: So the correct answer is b um. Many people are

955
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: really down on Winston right now. You're going undrafted in

956
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: most leagues are very late drafted. In most leagues. But

957
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, as the season progresses and we're gonna have

958
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: the return to health of Trey Kwon Smith, who's on

959
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: I R now but can come back. Adam Troutman is

960
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: gonna come back, Michael Thomas is gonna come back. As

961
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: the season goes on, I get the feeling I'm gonna

962
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: be increasingly wishing I had more shares of Jameis Winston.

963
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: It's like a pre premature special people remember the thirty interception.

964
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: You're he'd never had a team before that, more than

965
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: any team before that. He got lace sick. He's with

966
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, who I trust to keep him locked down

967
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: on that. He eats w's yeah, he eats. Nope, you

968
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: know sometimes he does. But maybe Sean Payton will get

969
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: that out of him. Let's work in one more matchup

970
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: into this segment, San Francisco taking on Detroit Scott. Yes,

971
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: so you had Jimmy Garoppolo as your take a chance

972
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: on me player. Well, at letter grade would you give him?

973
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: I would have given him a B possibly like I

974
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: have him at the leave tenth in my UM. And

975
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: here I'm going to go through the players and tell

976
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: you why you were right why you charged, were right

977
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: with you? Yes, okay. I'm gonna start with George Kittle.

978
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: Last year, Kittle, Deebo and a yuk Uh, Deebo Samuel

979
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: and Brandon Aiyuke. We're all healthy together for four games.

980
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: In those four games, Kittle had forty targets when they

981
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 1: were all playing together. That's a lot, and he led

982
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: the team in targets or tied for the lead in

983
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: all four games. Three of those were Jimmy G starts.

984
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: Lions were top five against tight ends, but they did

985
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 1: allow a bunch of touchdowns nine times to be exact

986
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: um and ended the season. And they ended the season

987
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: allowing seventy plus yards and or a score in each

988
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: of the last five games to tight ends. So I

989
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: have an A grade on Kittle. I'm gonna go down

990
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: to a B grade for Deebo Samuel, who I think

991
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: will be a little bit of an extension to the

992
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: run game. He's got a juicy matchup against drafted free

993
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: agent rookie cornerback A J. Parker. Uh. Expect a run

994
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: heavy game script, but like I said, he's you know,

995
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: he'll they'll be ahead, run ahead of the game script.

996
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: But I think he's an extension of the run game.

997
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: So I'm giving him a B got auke with a C.

998
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: He's going up against a manio who is ranked a

999
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: hundred by PFF. But is that his first hand last

1000
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: name is his first name? Oh, that's just what he's

1001
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: I thought he had act. He was just like, his

1002
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: last name is the name that you would try to pronounce,

1003
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: but I did not give it. But a big size

1004
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: guy able to be press coverage, I like you, but

1005
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: he's got a hamstring injury. I'm only giving the C

1006
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: grade here. Over to the run game, I already talked about.

1007
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,479
Speaker 1: Sermon In might take a chance on me. I'm given

1008
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: mostard an A. This is a Lions team, Like we said,

1009
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: this is a Lions team that allowed nearly two touchdowns

1010
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: per game to running backs last year, over a hundred

1011
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 1: six yards per game when when the four Niners are ahead,

1012
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: the running backs touched the ball thirty five plus times.

1013
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: Even if you get most or twenty of those against

1014
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: this Lions team, he's gonna come up with a grade.

1015
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: He's my number six rank running back. I've got an

1016
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 1: A grade on him as well. Yes, over onto the

1017
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: rams side, or excuse me, the ram side because Jared

1018
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: Goff the Lions side. I have a grade on t J. Hockenson.

1019
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: I have a B grade there. I have a grade

1020
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, I will tell you what it is.

1021
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: I have a grade on two players. T J. Hawkinson

1022
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: should be a target hog established himself and as golf

1023
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: security blanket. Uh. That said, the four Niners allowed the

1024
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 1: fewest yards and second fewest touchdowns the tight ends last year.

1025
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: Their their defense should be healthier than last year. But

1026
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: I just think Golf is gonna target him a ton. Uh.

1027
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: The reason I don't have any grade on any of

1028
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the other receivers for this team is Golf is facing

1029
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: a four NS defense that was top ten in several

1030
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: categories last year, and and Golf downgraded he had a

1031
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: bad year last year, and he downgraded his offensive coach

1032
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: his receiving options. It's a bad matchup everything. So all

1033
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: the receivers except for Hawkinson due to volume, is going

1034
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: to be on the bunch in the running game. I'm

1035
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: giving DeAndre Swift a B grade because I think they'll

1036
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: be in a negative game. Script have to pass a bunch.

1037
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and Anthony Lynn's team's last year passed to

1038
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: the running back over twenty five percent of the time,

1039
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: which is a lot of passes to running back and

1040
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: Swift is that role they've mentioned, He's that role. So

1041
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him the volume and enough passwork

1042
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: to get a B grade, but I'm leaving Williams on

1043
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: the bench for this week at least. Yeah, I'm interested

1044
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: to see what Williams role ends up being in this

1045
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: offense and is it meaningful or not. You know, they

1046
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 1: were what they're paying him, They're paying a meaningful amount

1047
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: of money. We'll see if they use them in a

1048
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: meaningful role. Beginning on Sunday, the Lions played. Can we

1049
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: just say because Lions from now on for yeah, probably

1050
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: when we come back, more matchups, including green Bay traveling

1051
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville to play the Saints. Funny how these things

1052
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: break just right for for green Bay. I think the

1053
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: officials had anything to do with the weather. I think

1054
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: that's how this all ended up happening. We'll tell you

1055
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 1: what to expect it in a possible shootout between Green

1056
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: Bay and the Saints when we come back to Fantasy

1057
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Church

1058
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you working through

1059
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: the matchups around the NFL fantasy style. Next up, the

1060
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers taking on New Orleans would have been

1061
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Instead, we've been relocated to a Jacksonville.

1062
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: It's a neutral site. Can usually call and mccockney does.

1063
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: Those not this week. Aaron Rodgerson, Davante Adams are obvious

1064
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: and compelling A grades that do not need any elaboration.

1065
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to some other players, including Randall Cobb. Now

1066
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm giving Randall Cobb a C grade for intangible reasons.

1067
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers put his ass on the line by demanding

1068
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: that the team trade for Randall Cobb. Do you think

1069
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: he won't feature Cob here? Of course he will. Cob

1070
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: lines up against Chauncey Gardner Johnson Profo Ball Focus is

1071
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: sixty four ranked cornerback in the slot. It's a plus

1072
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: matchup for Cobb and and I told you so a

1073
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,959
Speaker 1: moment for his quarterback se grade on Randall Cobb. Let's

1074
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: talk Robert Tunyon a grade. He led all tight ends

1075
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: with eleven touchdowns last year, and he posted an catch

1076
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: rate which was the best among tight ends and second

1077
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: best across the entire NFL. The Saints allowed the fifth

1078
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to tight ends, nine of them a year.

1079
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: And safety Malcolm Jenkins should be the primary matchup for

1080
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: Tony and he was graded as a bottom ten covered

1081
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: safety last year by Pro Football Focus. Big green light

1082
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: for Robert Tonyan in this matchup. As for the other receivers,

1083
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: mvs and Alan Robinson, way to scattershot for my taste.

1084
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: Both were completely undependable even in Aaron Rodgers m v

1085
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: P last season and in a plus matchup. Uh not

1086
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, Allen Lazard, even in a very plus matchup.

1087
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: Their total dart throws I would show caution here. Let's

1088
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: go to Aaron Jones, who gets a B grade. The

1089
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: Saints have been brutalizing opposing running backs for three years,

1090
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: allowing just one runner to top one hundred rushing yards

1091
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: in those three seasons. That's crazy. The Packers offense will

1092
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: move through the air in this game against a bad secondary,

1093
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: not on the ground against the great front four. Jones

1094
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: put up seventy six scoreless combo yards and just two

1095
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: catches in New Orleans last year, and that's why he

1096
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: dips down to a B grade here for a J.

1097
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Dillon again elite Saints run defense, and we really don't

1098
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: know what his usage is gonna be. And they never

1099
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: threw to him last year. He had three targets all

1100
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: of last year. Roll all that together, we're leaving A. J.

1101
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Dillon on the bench. Let's go over to the Saint side.

1102
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: Alvin Camara gets an A grade. He is the entire

1103
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Saints offense in this game. I believe the Packers know it.

1104
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: But can they stop him? Last year he hammered the Packers,

1105
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: putting up an absurd one nineties seven combo yards to

1106
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: go with thirteen catches and two touchdowns. Camara averaged seven

1107
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: receptions per game without Michael Thomas last season, and that's

1108
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: when the Saints actually had other wide receivers. Now you

1109
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: know short at least two, Camara's seven receptions could go

1110
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: up from there. Meanwhile, the Packers returned the majority of

1111
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: a defense that was bottom ten and every meaningful category

1112
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: against opposing receiving backs. So a good all purpose game

1113
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: coming for Camara, who gets an A. Let's go to

1114
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the passing game. I've got a bench grade on all

1115
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: of them in looting, Marquez Callaway, let's pray. I hope

1116
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: it's another season of just like bombs Away. No, look

1117
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: yolo heaves from Jameis. Winston's all year long, just like

1118
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: terrible for his career, but great for my fantasy team.

1119
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: I love those. Wait, we have to stop the show now,

1120
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: those high risk throws were fantastic. Winston's first problem though,

1121
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: here is a lack of receiving talent with Michael Thomas,

1122
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman, and Trey Kwan Smith out. And then for whatever,

1123
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: defend whatever re siies he's got left, he's got to

1124
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: go up. There's number one receiver, presumably Callaway has to

1125
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: go up against Jay R Alexander profile focuses top ranked cornerback.

1126
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: There's just not a good It's just not enough targets

1127
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: left on the board for Winston in this matchup. So

1128
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: he gets a bench grade. You know, Tony Jones is

1129
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. How about a C grade on Tony Jones.

1130
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about Tony Jones later in this show.

1131
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: But you know, Alvin Camaratt never workhorseback won't be in

1132
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: this game either. And Tony Jones, right, he said, and

1133
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: reasonably so. I went back through and watched all the

1134
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: preseason Carry's Dude's good, especially that first game against the

1135
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Ravens really good. So I'm going to be a SEE

1136
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: grade to Tony Jones of this matchup. Next, let's go

1137
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: to Cleveland taking on Kansas City in a very possible

1138
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: preview of the a f C Championship game next January. Well, yeah,

1139
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: and if you remember last season's playoff game, I think

1140
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty safe to fire up Chad Henny at quarterback

1141
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: with solid B grade. What if they send out Henny

1142
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: for the first snap of the game. Just just a

1143
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: mass with the Browns, Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Killed, Travis Kelsey,

1144
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: all A grades. They're good at TOSSI toss uh Nicole Hardman,

1145
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,959
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson, Byron Pringle. They're all on the bench. Which

1146
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: one of these guys is far and away the number

1147
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: two wide receiver Hardman. Maybe he's being drafted like it.

1148
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: The wide receiver on the Chiefs can disappear at any

1149
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: time they want to, anytime they feel you. In the

1150
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: sixteen wide receiver two games the Chiefs played last year,

1151
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: I took the games that Sammy Watkins played, and in

1152
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: the games he was absent, I inserted me Cole Hardman.

1153
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: The average game for the Kansas City Wide receiver two

1154
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: was four targets, three receptions, forty one yards and one

1155
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: sixth of a touchdown. It's just there is no wide

1156
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: receiver too. It's okay, we get to know who the

1157
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: good players on the Chiefs. You can't argue they're very bankable,

1158
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: except for Clyde Edwards Hilaire, who's not very bankable. Uh,

1159
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: this one's just a bad matchup. Down the stretch. Cleveland

1160
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: was one of the best run defenses in the league,

1161
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: allowing only seventy rushing yards per game over the final

1162
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: six games of the year. Clyde did not play in

1163
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: the playoff game last year, so maybe he's their secret weapon.

1164
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: They've never seen him before. Nick Chubb he gets a

1165
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: B grade, and Kareem Hunt he gets to see. The

1166
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs were bottom twelve in the league against running back

1167
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 1: rushing yards, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. So one

1168
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: place they exceeded expectations is the only allowed seven running

1169
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: back rushing touchdowns last year. Still, I don't know. Nick

1170
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Chubb's really really good. He's really really good and not

1171
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: everything else sounded like it was game on. It's kind

1172
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: of I'd like you to reconsider a possible a right here,

1173
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: oh no uh in the Battle of the trenches, though

1174
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus has this as the third most positive

1175
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: run game for Cleveland's offensive line versus Kansas City's defensive line. Okay,

1176
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I'll give Nick chubb an a thank you very much

1177
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: to my ranking. Here. I've got Hi, I've got him

1178
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: a running back for Okay, that's good. Baker Mayfield, he

1179
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. The Browns are a running team.

1180
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 1: They had the fourth lowest passing rate in the league

1181
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: last year, and they saw Tampa unlock the key to

1182
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. Good defense and ball control offense. That's

1183
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: why I only have se grades on Odell Beckham and

1184
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. The chief should deploy Legarious Snead against Beckham. Yeah,

1185
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: he had a top three passer rating and balls thrown

1186
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: into his coverage last year at fifty three point four.

1187
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: And Landry often runs from the slot and three wide receivers,

1188
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: but the Browns run a ton of twelve personnel, which

1189
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: means two tight ends on the field in those scenarios,

1190
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: he's likely running against former Viking Mike Hughes, who allowed

1191
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: completed catches on his throws in his coverage last season.

1192
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: So I actually like Landry better than Beckham in this game,

1193
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: and the tick and the tight ends are on the bench. Yeah,

1194
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: well that's I'm that's safe to say. Yeah, in part

1195
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: because there's three three deep tight end you know, you

1196
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: never know who's coming up next. Seattle takes on Indianapolis,

1197
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: and injuries will play a potentially a big part of

1198
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: this game. Um, particularly in the Indianapolis side. But yeah,

1199
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 1: I'll let you I'll let you address that, Scott. Yeah,

1200
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: well let's sure. Let's start on the wayside, the Indianapolis side.

1201
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz I have on the bench despite the second

1202
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: highest Vegas over under of the week, He's going to

1203
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: be missing Eric Fisher, which they'll be down to their

1204
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: third left tackle. I believe on that side they our

1205
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: third left tackle Julian something and something Julia Gulia, Julian

1206
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: child friend chef, and Quentin Nelson is still questionable. I

1207
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: mean it sounds like he'll go, but he's still questionable.

1208
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Last uh, let's go to his receivers though. Do I

1209
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: think that any of his receivers are startable? Do I

1210
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: gave you a Paris to Paris Paris Hilton? Yeah, you know,

1211
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: how did how do I get to this point and

1212
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: not realize that the Indianapolis receivers had a Paris and

1213
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: a Hilton. I don't know. How did I not know

1214
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: that until now? I don't know. I'd never drop it anyway,

1215
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: you know why. Here's why I don't care about Paris

1216
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Hilton at all. I don't care about her. That's why

1217
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about Michael Pittman. I now I got a

1218
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: C grade on Michael Pittman. Remains to be seen if

1219
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: he can be the top dog and take on to

1220
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: the top coverages. But he is six ft four and

1221
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: he might be facing up against five ft nine DJ Reid.

1222
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: If you're doing the math at home, that is seven

1223
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: inches difference, which I really like that matchup for him. Uh,

1224
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell was charged to take a chance on me

1225
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: player dealing with a little bit of an achilles injury.

1226
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: But he's gonna play through it, and he looks fine.

1227
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: He does play from the slot though. So on the

1228
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: other side is gonna be Michael Strown. I love Michael Stron. Uh,

1229
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna make a prespect in the middle

1230
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: of my thing here. Michael Stron is gonna play mostly

1231
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: on the outside for this, he's six ft five pounds

1232
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: ten inch hands in winks ban four point four sixty

1233
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: at that size. Um, he's gonna go over Zach Pascal,

1234
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: and Zach Pascal plays six from the slot. But Michael

1235
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: stron uh lad the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards.

1236
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: In the preseason, they said he was just unstoppable in camp.

1237
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: I think he gets some work here, not enough to start.

1238
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: But if you're on a deeper roster, go get Michael Strong.

1239
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: It's it's spelled like straight chin or whatever. Go get

1240
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Michael Strong. Uh. To the running game, let's go with

1241
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I got a C grade on Jonathan Taylor, honestly,

1242
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: behind that line with Fisher out with if he especially

1243
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: if Quint Nelson also misses. Seattle was top five against

1244
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: running backs last year. It's just a bad matchup. He

1245
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: just might get enough ten to fifteen touches to to

1246
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: make that C volume play there. Uh and easier second

1247
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: round probably second round pick. You're probably playing him anyway.

1248
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: Naheim Hines I got a C grade on because he's

1249
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be as well as Taylor h c gred

1250
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be chasing points. He's gonna be an

1251
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: outlet for wins. He's gonna want to get the ball

1252
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: out quickly. Hines was the top three receiving back last

1253
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: year and Seattle allowed the fourth most receptions to running

1254
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: back slack here by the way, it congrats on your

1255
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: new contract, Nahim Hines will be three more years over

1256
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: to the Seattle side. Russell Wilson got a B grade

1257
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: on uh Indie end of the final quarter last season,

1258
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: allowing over three five yards and two point five touch

1259
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: John's per game two quarterbacks. It's got the second highest

1260
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: vegas over under. As I mentioned before that it's just

1261
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a shootout. So I like Wilson there. I

1262
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: like his receivers a lot too. I got metcalf with

1263
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: an A grade DK Metcalf Um, he'll get Rock your

1264
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Sin probably seventh ranked by PF and if he doesn't,

1265
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: he gets thirty two year old t J. Kerry. So

1266
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be. That's gonna be his matchup with

1267
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes out uh. Let's see here. I got lock

1268
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: It with a B grade. His inconsistency is one that

1269
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't love. And also he's going to be He's

1270
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: got a match up against Kenny Moore, but Kenny Moore

1271
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: is raring sixteen by p F. It's a pretty pretty

1272
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: tough matchup for lock It. But when he explodes, he explodes,

1273
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: and I think this is going to be a shootout

1274
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: where lock It might get a play. So I have

1275
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: a B grade unlock It. Chris Carson tough Jobs last

1276
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: season's second best run defense. He I I have a

1277
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: B grade on him, but it's because he gets all

1278
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: the running back work, like all of it, So I

1279
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: have a B grade on him. I have every I

1280
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: have the tight ends on the bench. I'm not gonna

1281
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: trust Gerald Everet until I see his usage in that offense. Yeah,

1282
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people kind of depending on that

1283
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: usage to be pretty high. Yeah, but I don't know.

1284
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Daryl wall Uh Waller is the only tight end the

1285
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: top sixty yards against them last year. That's another good

1286
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: reason they show a lot of caution right there. When

1287
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: we came back, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly Premature Speculation,

1288
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: these are the guys you want to pick up this

1289
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: week that everybody else will be trying to pick up

1290
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: next week. That's the return of our compensation, right there

1291
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: like Michael Strod, like Michael Strode everything, Who's Michael Strode?

1292
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Who's Quaz Watkins? These maybe these are the guys that

1293
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: are gonna show up in premature by Stay tuned to

1294
01:10:49,520 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: find out. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly final segment. We've

1295
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: got four games to break down and premature speculation a

1296
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: favorite segment for listeners, going on, why did we dream

1297
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: this up about six years ago? Something like that? Yeah,

1298
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 1: it feels like it's been about that long. It's my favorite.

1299
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's begin there. Let's uh the premise of premature speculations.

1300
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you guys to pick up now that

1301
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: we think everybody else is gonna be trying to pick

1302
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: up next week. And when they go to the waiver

1303
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: wire and they see they're already on your team, to

1304
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: be like that guy is brilliant, Scott. Let's begin with you.

1305
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Who is your premature speculation player? I'm going beta here,

1306
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna premature speculate a premature speculation. Bradley Roby just

1307
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: got traded from the Houston away from the Houston Texas.

1308
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: They've said that they are going to trade all their vets.

1309
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Cooks gets traded and you should pick

1310
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: up Nico Collins. Now, okay, all right, he might already

1311
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: get volume this week and become a thing, but once

1312
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Cooks has gone, he'll be the only thing in town.

1313
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: Makes sense, Okay, I like Nico Collins. I think I

1314
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: think you could start Week one, I know for Houston. Yeah,

1315
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: go get him. Every reason to believe they'll be behind

1316
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: by a lot. Matt, who's your premature speculation player? Scott

1317
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: covered this guy a little bit before, but it's thirty

1318
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,520
Speaker 1: seven percent owned zach Ertz, whose death has been greatly exaggerated.

1319
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 1: First off, he's got some fresh new golden locks. Second,

1320
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: he led the Eagles tight ends last season and targets

1321
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: even while missing five games due to injury, including seven,

1322
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: seven and six targets in the final three games. Third,

1323
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: this week he gets the Falcons defense, who gave up

1324
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the fourth most touchdowns the position. And then he's got

1325
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: matchups against Dallas, Kansas City, and Carolina in weeks three, four,

1326
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 1: and five, all of which are bottom ten against the

1327
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: tight end position. Zach Ertz can be yours and he's

1328
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: very startable for the next five weeks. I'm going with

1329
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: Tony Jones, the new number two running back for the Saints.

1330
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: We alluded to this earlier. Alvin Comariz is not a

1331
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,879
Speaker 1: workhorse back, never has been. He isn't now. His average

1332
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: number of carries since becoming the starter is twelve and

1333
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: a couple of shows ago. Matt, I believe it was

1334
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: you who mentioned Alvin Kamara has topped nineteen carries once. Yeah,

1335
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 1: one time. Uh. Tony Jones will have a non trivial

1336
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: role in this offense, and he's better than Latavius Murray

1337
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: and can out perform what Murray has been giving. Fantasy

1338
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: owners went back and watch his preseason kid look good,

1339
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Tony Jones got a little juice. Make sure you've picked

1340
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: him up. Go get that kid, Yeah, go get go,

1341
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: get that guy. Let's go to Chicago taking on the

1342
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: Rams and what's going to be a one sided game. First,

1343
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. The Andy Dalton led passing attack against last

1344
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: year's best past defense means there there are bench grades

1345
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere except Allen Robinson, who's only comes in

1346
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: here with a C grade. Last season, these teams met

1347
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 1: and Robinson posted four catches for seventies scoreless yards against

1348
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, and that was that was with Nick Foles

1349
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: at quarterback. It's kind of a lateral move here to Dalton,

1350
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting something close to seventies scoreless again with

1351
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the terrible offensive line. If Andy Dalton gets hurt in

1352
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: this game and Justin Fields comes in, does all of

1353
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: a sudden Allen Robinson's in game grade move up a letter?

1354
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Probably would? I want to know who's gonna be bold

1355
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: enough to start Justin Fields now? It's premature speculus, very

1356
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: premature speculation. Uh. The Rams return their outside cornerbacks who

1357
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest yards per game and just seven touchdowns

1358
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers last year. It's a disaster scenario here.

1359
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: But Allen Robinson's great, so just to see grade on him,

1360
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,759
Speaker 1: David Montgomery gets a C grade you're figuring and Dalton's

1361
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna be completely overmatched, And so they'll try to run

1362
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: David Montgomery in this game, but they're not gonna be

1363
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: very effective. The bears tattered offensive line look horrendous in

1364
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: the preseason, and Montgomery just isn't elusive enough to make

1365
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: his own running lanes. And unlike last year, the Bells

1366
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Bears have other solid runners are going to contribute, like

1367
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Damien Williams and Khalil Herbert, so you don't get the

1368
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: volume that mcgomery was giving you last year when he

1369
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: was startable. Los Angeles finished fifth in yards allowed per

1370
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: carry and sixth and fantasy points allowed to the running

1371
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:13,799
Speaker 1: back position. And we know Aaron Donald elite pass rushing tackle.

1372
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: He was also the number one ranked run tackle by

1373
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus last year. He's just really good. He's

1374
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: just really good at football. Let's go to the ramside.

1375
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the rest of his meaningful receivers, Cooper

1376
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: Cup and Robert Woods all a grades. Stafford delivered the

1377
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: lions most recent victory. It was Week thirteen against these Bears,

1378
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: and he threw for four hundred yards and three touchdowns.

1379
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: As a member of the Lion is not afraid of

1380
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. He's not afraid of the Bears, and you

1381
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 1: shouldn't be either, because they have a rebuilt secondary featuring

1382
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: two very green cornerbacks something called Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley.

1383
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: As a rookie, Vildor was garbage last year, allowing a

1384
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: passer rating of a twenty four in his coverage, and

1385
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Shelley is the presumptive starting slot corner. He's got ninety

1386
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 1: two career snaps to his name. Cups and cup and

1387
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Wood's elite starts this week. And I'll even go one

1388
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: step further. You want a deep dark DFS playshaun DeShawn Jackson.

1389
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: That's right. DeShawn Jackson does it in week one a

1390
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: lot too, and he does he You're right, week one

1391
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: his guts because he's healthy. It's like Sammy Watkins in

1392
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: week one. That's right. Let's talk Darryl Henderson, who gets

1393
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: a B grade here uh career rushing average of four

1394
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: point four, which lines up almost exactly with Chicago that

1395
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: gave up just over four yards per carry last year.

1396
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,839
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle's there, but I still think the vast majority

1397
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: of the workload here goes to Henderson. The Rams rushed

1398
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,879
Speaker 1: twenty nine times per game last year. That's enough workload

1399
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 1: to make sure that Henderson gets the ball plenty. Bears

1400
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: maintained most of their key run defenders from last year.

1401
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: They were ranked fifth overall by Pro Football Focus. Chicago

1402
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: faced Henderson last year when he was still the lead

1403
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: back before he gave up that job to cam Acres,

1404
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: and they held him to seventeen touches for seventy six

1405
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: yards and that sounds about right here, Sony Michelle. I'm

1406
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 1: keeping on the bench until we have a better understanding

1407
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: of what his role might look like. And let's spend

1408
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: a second on a great matchup for Tyler Higgby. The

1409
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: tight end situation in Los Angeles. We've been waiting for

1410
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: clarity for years. We finally have it. If you would

1411
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: have rolled together Everett and Higby stats into one guy

1412
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: last year, you'd have had tight end five. And now

1413
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: that's maybe what we're gonna get here. In Tyler Higby's

1414
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: three career games without Gerald Everett, He's averaged eleven targets

1415
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: hundred eleven yards per game. Those are gigantic numbers, and

1416
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,719
Speaker 1: the Bear struggled against the tight end position last season,

1417
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: finishing bottom six in receptions, yards, and touchdowns allowed to

1418
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: the tight end position, A grade for Tyler Higbe. Our

1419
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: next matchup is Miami taking on New England. Math I'm

1420
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna start with Jalen Waddle and Davante Parker, who are

1421
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: both on your bench this week. Even with Will Fuller

1422
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: being out serving the rest of his suspension this week,

1423
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots are without top corner Stephan Gilmour. That's actually

1424
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Finns wide receivers. However, J C.

1425
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Jackson and Jonathan Jones are not members of instinct. They

1426
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: are the pats other starting corners, and both were rated

1427
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: rather highly by Pro Football Focus last season. I'm a

1428
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: little bit nervous that Parker and Ta just don't mix well. Overall.

1429
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Through seven career games together, Parker is averaging three point

1430
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: seven catches and forty four yards per game with TWA.

1431
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: He's only caught two career touchdowns from to as well.

1432
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: So they're on the bench, as is Mike Gasicki. In

1433
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: five prior meetings with the Patriots, Gisicki has been held

1434
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: under thirty five yards in every game and scored only once.

1435
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: If I've got all the receivers on the bench, I've

1436
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: got two on the bench too, So I'm gonna go

1437
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 1: over to Miles Gaskin, who I think a lot of

1438
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: people are kind of relying on maybe to play this week.

1439
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,879
Speaker 1: I got him on the bench. Last year, New England's

1440
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: defense was stout against the run every only zero point

1441
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: for three yards allowed before first contact. That's the best

1442
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: mark in the league by a wide margin. And Gaskin

1443
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: was in the league in yards after contact with only

1444
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: two point five yards. This leads me to believe that

1445
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: Gaskins should run for about three yards per carry, and

1446
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: that's not good. He only managed forty rushing yards in

1447
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: his one meeting with the Pats last year as well.

1448
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back on the other side

1449
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: that we want to talk about. That's Damien Harris. He

1450
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: gets a B. Last year, the Pats deployed four or

1451
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,640
Speaker 1: five backs against the Dolphins in both meetings. In the

1452
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: first meeting, four backs each top twenty yards and they

1453
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: total the hundred on the ground with a touchdown. In

1454
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: the second game, Sony Michelle went for seven point four

1455
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Rolls are clearer and more defined this year.

1456
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: It seems Damien Harris is the lead dog, James White

1457
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: is the pass catcher, and it's a coin flip if

1458
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Ramondre Stevenson is even active in this game. White and

1459
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: Stevenson around my engine. Harris gets the B. Mac Jones

1460
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry where my take a chance on me

1461
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: TOSSI tossers and John U Johnu. He gets a B

1462
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: grade as well. I like Henry enough to give him

1463
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: the starting grade he gets. He got the C by

1464
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: the way, and for the same reasons, John who gets

1465
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the B grade here. But finally, I got two more

1466
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers and I'm giving them both B grades. Wide

1467
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 1: receivers getting a B grades on the Patriots. You say

1468
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: there's one glaring weakness in the Dolphins defensive backfield, that's

1469
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,679
Speaker 1: Miami corner Byron Jones, who allowed seventeen point one yards

1470
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: per catch last year. That was the third worst in

1471
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. If he's going to get beat, it's deep.

1472
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,679
Speaker 1: And of the players that had at least eighty targets

1473
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: last year, do you know who led the league in

1474
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: yards per reception? Nelson Agar at eighteen point seven. And

1475
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: I never would have guessed that are torched. This Dolphins

1476
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: defense is a member of the Raiders last year for

1477
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: five catches a hundred and fifty five yards and score.

1478
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: I love it. This is a great angle. Why was

1479
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: he not your your take a chance? I mean, why

1480
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: did you? Well, you use Hunter Henry. That's why I

1481
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: love mac Jones so much. Aglar's nursing a little bit

1482
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: of an ankle injury, but he's gonna go. And by

1483
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: the way, Jacoby Myers is a bit of a forgotten

1484
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: guy in fantasy. Here In's a B grade. He earned

1485
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: his keep in the second half last season. Over the

1486
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: final ten games, the average seven targets, five catches, and

1487
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 1: sixty five yards per game. Those are pre solid numbers

1488
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton as your quarterback. However, in two full seasons,

1489
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: he's never scored an NFL touchdown. That changes this week

1490
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: to Kobeyers. Okay, there it is. By the way, TOSSI

1491
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: toss is a hail Mary. No, no, no, it's it's

1492
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: just TOSSI to It's Denver takes on the Giant Scott.

1493
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: And what I'm hoping you tell me is that Javonte

1494
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Williams can be a starter in Week one. Yeah, I

1495
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I don't know. I need him.

1496
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: It's a rookie, he's a right. What happened on the

1497
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 1: automatic A grade all the rookie? What happened to that? Okay,

1498
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: I'll give him a C grade if I can also

1499
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: give Gordon to see grade. They do have the middle

1500
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: of the pack matchup, and they're gonna they're gonna be

1501
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: in a a positive game. Script for that to run

1502
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: down the clock, Javonte Williams might actually be a better

1503
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: rundown the clock guy. So there you go. There you go,

1504
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: charge alright onto the passing game now, I guess. Uh,

1505
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater I do have a C grade on somehow.

1506
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get ahead of the Giants somehow,

1507
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: and I think Teddy's got just enough to do it

1508
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: against the Giant's team that allowed the fifth most yards

1509
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: and the fifth most touchdowns last year. Uh, Teddy Bridgewater

1510
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: seventy passer last year, that's gonna be coming in way

1511
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: more handy for Jerry Judy, who had the highest percentage

1512
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: of NFL passes last year. Yes, so gain that seventy

1513
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,879
Speaker 1: passer and going up against Darnay Holmes ranked a hundred

1514
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:55,719
Speaker 1: and seventh by Profotball Focus. I'm giving Judy a B grade,

1515
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: giving Courtland Sutton a C grade here. He's gonna get

1516
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: a much tougher match up in James Bradberry seventh ranked. Uh,

1517
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: but he's a good contexted catch guy. He's got some

1518
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: inches on Bradberry. Um. Hopefully you can use that size

1519
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: to his advantage and that confidence is back. Uh. No

1520
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 1: offense leg injury seems to be fine. Now he's practicing

1521
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 1: without limits. Now he's gonna play. You know that he's

1522
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna play. I got a C grade on him. The

1523
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 1: Giants only allowed four touchdowns to tight ends last year,

1524
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 1: but they allowed some yards, so I think he I

1525
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: think he might get just enough in this one. Over

1526
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: to the Broncos side. Over to the Giant side. Excuse me,

1527
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm only starting ste Kwon Barkley. That's it. On the

1528
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: passing side. Look what the Giants are trying to overcome.

1529
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: They're implied point totals nineteen points. The Broncos the top

1530
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: ten against quarterbacks, top ten against wide receivers. The only

1531
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: allowed three touchdowns to tight ends last year, and Waller

1532
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: and Kelsey were the only two that had good games.

1533
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: And that was a Denver defense that was beat up

1534
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: the years. They're so smart to keep it Vangio. He's

1535
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: such a good defensive come that von Miller back, Bradley

1536
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:01,759
Speaker 1: Chup's question and bull but likely to go their defensive

1537
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: backs Ronald Darby, Kyle Fuller. They drafted Patrick certain over

1538
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: Um justin fields, I guess controversially, and they have the

1539
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,839
Speaker 1: top rank slot corner according to PF and Bryce Callahan.

1540
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be covering Sterling Shepherd. So I got him

1541
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: on the bench. Why do I have Kenny Golladay on

1542
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: the bench. Well, this broncos d I mentioned top ten

1543
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: against wide receivers. But also he's had no time to

1544
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: gain some chemistry with Daniel Jones. This this offseason, he's

1545
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,839
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna be up with Ronald Darby. In fairness,

1546
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: has any player ever had chemistry with That's fair, that's fair.

1547
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: But he also gets a tough match up against Ronald Darby.

1548
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: So I I have everyone on the bench and I'm

1549
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: barely giving Barkley a C grade. I have issues though,

1550
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: because they want to limit him. I think he might

1551
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,600
Speaker 1: get just enough volume. But remember he's coming off that

1552
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: A cl Andrey and he's they have to play Thursday night.

1553
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: It's a short turnaround, so they might want to limit.

1554
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: They might actually legitimately wanted in him, but they'll be Yeah,

1555
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: I can't start Barkley. They'll be plankings ten. I think

1556
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: he's ten total touches. I have a C grade on

1557
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: him because they'll be playing from behind. Maybe he gets

1558
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: enough passing game work that maybe he gets that C grade.

1559
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: I'll bet Booker produces him. I am fine benching him. Yeah. Absolutely.

1560
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: I think he's in that Ezekiel Elliott from last week

1561
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 1: category where you're like, you kind of feel like you

1562
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: should start him, but you can see the path through

1563
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: a terrible game. I do. All right, Let's go to

1564
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore taking on Las Vegas on Monday night. The running

1565
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: back situations a disaster. Of course, Tyson Williams should get

1566
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: most of the work. You know, he's really built in

1567
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens mold for their runners that they like to have.

1568
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: He's taller, sturdy runner with some burst and good balance,

1569
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: likely to get most of the workload, maybe like all

1570
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 1: of the workload, or virtually all of it. He scored

1571
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: a goal line touchdown in the preseason. Actually, no, I

1572
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: take that back. It was a twenty yard touchdown in

1573
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: the preseason. Last season, the Raiders allowed the eighth most

1574
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: rushing yards hunter ten per game and almost five yards

1575
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: per carry, and the off season did not provide any

1576
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: personnel help. I think Tyson Williams a sneaky, good hard

1577
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: I've gotta be grade on him as a workhorse back

1578
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: in this game. Good a grade for Lamar Jackson writers.

1579
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,640
Speaker 1: Secondary remains a complete mess. One season after finishing his

1580
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: pro football focus is twenty ninth ranked coverage unit. They

1581
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 1: made epic draft blunders in by drafting Jonathan Abram and

1582
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: Trayvon Mullen into their secondary, and those guys continue to start,

1583
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: and that's just sunk cost right there. A couple of

1584
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 1: rookies will being key roles in the secondary, Trayvon Mooring

1585
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and Nate Hobbs, both starting their first NFL games. And

1586
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders didn't give up a lot of rushing yards

1587
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: last year, just thirteen per game, but they also didn't

1588
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: see very many rushing quarterbacks. And Lamar Jackson's a special

1589
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 1: rusher and probably gets a few extra carries here with

1590
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: the running back situation being what it is, So a

1591
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: grade on Lamar Jackson um warmed up a lot in

1592
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: the past few days to Mark's Brown because he got

1593
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: through a whole week of practice with no issues after

1594
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: missing a month of practice with a preseason hamstring injury.

1595
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, the secondary here is a complete disaster.

1596
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: I really really like Marquis Brown, and you know, for

1597
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: a boom er bust guy who's got boomrit all over it.

1598
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 1: For Marquise Brown, go ahead and start him here with

1599
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: a B grade. See grade on Sammy Watkins, a legendary

1600
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 1: Week one performer, if only week one, And like I said,

1601
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,839
Speaker 1: if not now when this is the secondary is terrible.

1602
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: So if you're ever gonna start Sammy Watkins for some

1603
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: reason you drafted him, this is your one chance right here. Um,

1604
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 1: all the terrible reason, let's start. Let's let's secondary. I

1605
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: forget hallucinated all the problems in the secondary already and

1606
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: they just don't have a lot of options. They don't

1607
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: have a lot, got nothing left. Watkins is gonna have

1608
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 1: a great week. Not great. How about a grade for

1609
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, who was Jackson's healthiest and most most reliable

1610
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: target last year. The Raiders were middle of the packing

1611
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: tight end defense, but they somehow skirted every upper tier

1612
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: every upper tier tight end except Travis Kelsey, and Kelsey

1613
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: destroyed them. So in a grade on him for the Raiders,

1614
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,719
Speaker 1: there's only one guy to start, and it's Darren Waller.

1615
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: He won't catch anybody by surprise, especially not the team

1616
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: that drafted him. He's sitting on a very good game here.

1617
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: Aguilar's departure leaves eight touchdowns behind, and that's an opportunity

1618
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 1: for him. Josh Jacobs. I've got just a C grade

1619
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: on him. His yards per carry dropped by a full

1620
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: yard last year. He's got to contend with Kenyan Drake

1621
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 1: for carries. I almost had a bench grade on him.

1622
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: And it's Baltimore's defense, and it's Baltimore's defense. But just

1623
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: through sheer volume, hopefully Josh Jacobs will get enough done

1624
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: for your team. And that is it for the starters

1625
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: for the race. It's all, it's all bad. Thanks for listening.
