I don't understand 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: the reference set an old sign field reference. I don't know. 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: Super troopers haven't seen it. Okay. Over the course to today, 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: we're going to break down every game fantasy style. We're 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: in regular season mode. Finally, that means we're not gonna 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: bother telling you which teams going to win. We're gonna 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: tell you which players are gonna help your fantasy team win. 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: You'll hear letter grades for every meaningful fantasy player and 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: irrationale for why we feel that way. We will also 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: answer three tough questions. We'll give you nine players upon 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: whom you can take a chance, and we'll jump into 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: a time machine to identify the players everybody's going to 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: be looking for on the waiver wire next week, but 24 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: you've already picked him up this week. Blam. Oh, we 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: should name it like the time machine, the time machine, 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: uh segment or something. We should come to some time 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: machine thing for this speculation. It's called premature speculator. We 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: can't be better than that name. I forget it, No, 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: I was, I was unclear at what you were thinking here. Okay, good, 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: let's become We get with just some quick reaction to 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: the Thursday night game, and we'll touch on it on 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: and off a little bit throughout the show. But mostly 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the disappointment that I have 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: in the usage of David mc humery. I thought was looked, 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: I thought looked really good on all seven of his touches. 36 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Super frustrating. Do you guys believe that this is going 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: to be indicative of the way Montgomery is going to 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: be used long term? Well, the offense didn't do a 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: very good job for Chicago. That's just so uh. They 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: might have to make some changes here, although it was 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: interesting hearing Al Michael's and Chris collins Worth talking about 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: Mike Davis and how he's the best route runner of 43 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: all the running backs on the team and they got 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: Tariko in there, So what's like, Mike Davis obviously has 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: a role in this offense and that makes me a 46 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: little nervous. Took like forty snaps in the slot. Yeah 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, that was a lot of Cohen's usage, 48 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: didn't you know he wasn't on the field in place 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: of Montgomery so much it was all Mike Davis. And 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: even if say Montgomery was on the field the whole 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: game with Mitch truebiscus your quarterback who cares sad and 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: they're not moving the ball and regardless of the running back. Yeah, no, kidding, 53 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: that's a that's a lost opportunity. For sure. We will 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: touch on some other aspect to that game as they 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: may come up with the charts. I wanted to mention 56 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: similar to if there's a Thursday game where a guy 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: goes off and you're chasing points. This is the rare 58 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: opposite where if you had Davante Adams or if you 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: had Aaron Rodgers, or you had some of those guys 60 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: that you expected big numbers out of. These guys just 61 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: didn't deliver. So now you might have to adjust some 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: of your fantasy UH lineups to try to score more points. 63 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: You might need a few more home run hitters if 64 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: you got some zeros, and that's a great point. You 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: might need to go high risk, high reward if if 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: you want to try to make up for that for 67 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: any Bears losses that you had. And for that matter, 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the Packers didn't do much either, so you know, Aaron 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Jones huge disappointment as well. All right, let's jump into 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the matchups, beginning with the Rams taking on the Carolina Panthers. Matt, 71 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: this is uh, this is a game with about ten 72 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: starters in it, most all of the obvious Rams. Why 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: don't we Why don't we begin there? And the Rams? 74 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: I do want to start with the Rams because I'm 75 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: downgrading the entire Rams offense a full letter grade for 76 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: two reasons. Not one starter played a snap in the preseason. 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: There's going to be rusted there. Yeah, there was last year. 78 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: Do you remember that first half of Week one of 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: last year? They played the Raiders and and just kind 80 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: of scuffled around uh second. The Rams lost guard Roger 81 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: Saffold and center John Sullivan this offseason noted a lineman 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Joseph note Boom and Brian Allen are now anchoring the 83 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: center of that line. They have a combined on career 84 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: offensive snaps and those two lineman face a pretty tough 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: task this week against Carolina line including Gerald McCoy and 86 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: Brian Burns as good additions to that front. Seven. So 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, I'm giving a C grade and I know 88 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: you have him ranked really high. So here's the reason 89 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: people are starting to compare Jared Goff to Drew Brees 90 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: as Goff has the big contract, he's tied to Sean 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: McVeigh for years, and Goff might be the new Drew 92 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: Brees because Goff's passer rating goes from one sixteen at 93 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: home to eighty two point seven on the road, and 94 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: last year in five outdoor road games, he averaged two 95 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: d twenty seven passing yards, one touchdown and one point 96 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: four interceptions. He was bad on the road. They leaned 97 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: on Todd Gurley all the time and he didn't play 98 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: like huge, awesome, awesome defenses either. It was the Raiders 99 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the forty Niners involved in those three 100 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 1: and three of those five. So there we go. Brandon Cooks, 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade. Cooper Cups getting like 102 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: C plus. I know we don't do pluses, but we 103 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: don't do Roberts. I'm only giving up grade too as well. 104 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera's Tanther's defense ran zone coverage at the seventh 105 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: highest rate last year, and according to Evans Silva, Brandon 106 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: Cooks has the fourth highest yards per target against zone coverage. 107 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: The Panthers allowed the fifth most passing touchdowns last season, 108 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: and it was perimeter speed receivers that burned them the most. 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: It was Beckham, al Shan, Golladay, Ridley Godwin. They all 110 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: torched that secondary for big fantasy plays. And actually like 111 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: Cup the most out of these guys on Fanball this 112 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: week because he's only because the Anthers haven't settled in 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: on a slot corner yet and it's gonna be some 114 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: combo of Ross, Cockrell and j V and Elliott. Woods. 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Only has a question, Cup, though, is to me all 116 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: about snap? Is you gonna run ten plates? Is he 117 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: gonna run twenty? I bet he goes full full boar. 118 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: I bet he's in um. Woods had only three scores 119 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: in the first ten weeks last season. Then Cooper Cup 120 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: got injured and they moved him to the slot. He 121 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: scored four times in the last six games without Cup, 122 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: saw his targets, receptions, and yards per game all tick 123 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: up significantly. I'm worried the Cooper Cup back in that 124 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: offense moves Robert Woods to the outside and he's not 125 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: as good Todd Gurley. I'm giving a B grade to 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown and Darryll Henderson are on the bench. Presumably 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: this is the best shape of the season you're going 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: to get out if you got him. Sure, Let's consider 129 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: the twelve games where Gurley was healthy last season. His 130 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: six Roads starts, he averaged twenty four touches, a D 131 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: and thirty five yards and two total scores per game, 132 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: only a few fewer touches and yards per game, but 133 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: only scored one per game at home. So they lean 134 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: on him on the road. Uh, let's go to the 135 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: Panthers side. Christian McCaffrey easy a due it averages almost 136 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: seven receptions per game and nothing. Nothing about Jordan's scarlet 137 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: scares me. Behind him, Cam Newton, I'm giving a C grade. 138 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: It's not the injury that concerns me. It's a rebuilt 139 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: offensive line and Aaron Donald. Uh. It seems like a 140 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: game where North Turner will probably try to scheme to 141 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands quickly, which should 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: mean a lot of running and short passes. Running with 143 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: McCaffrey not running for cam ye hopefully not. Newton was 144 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: already the thirty second ranked quarterback and average depth of 145 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: target last year at seven point six and immediate games 146 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: after injuries over the past three years, Newton has attempted 147 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: over forty passes, both times short passes all day long. Yeah, 148 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: I think this counts is coming off injury, and if 149 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: it was a preseason injury, that probably counts. I think 150 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: that benefits DJ more more because DJ Moore's average depth 151 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: of target was nine point six yard. Curtis Samuel was 152 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: twelve point two. So More gets the B grade, Sam 153 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: gets the sea. Uh. If you had the Bears or 154 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: Packers land eggs, Samuel's probably your home run deep threat 155 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: for the touchdown because the Rams gave up an NFC 156 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: high fourteen receptions or forty yards or more last season. Yeah, 157 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: although it keep to leaving back really changes that second 158 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: area Ton that does help. He's gonna match up against 159 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel too, and then finally Greg Olsen. He gets 160 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: a C grade. He's healthier than the second year tight 161 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: end Ian Thomas, and he fits into the short passing 162 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: pretty well. Another guy playing all he's healthy, play him 163 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: all he's out. You don't have many chances to do 164 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: that a game that will not feature nearly as many starters. 165 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: Washington takes on Philadelphia, Brian and on the Washington side 166 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: outside of Darius, guys, is there anybody to start? Not? Really? Well, 167 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: we'll talk about guys. Speaking of playing him all he's healthy, 168 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: he bawled in that category, So rollout, guys. Uh, he 169 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: said to see the line share of carries, but he's 170 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: running behind a very battered O line. The Eagles did 171 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: allow more than four and a half yards per carrying eighteen, 172 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: but game script is not going to favor guys in 173 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: this one, and Chris Thompson is set to soak up 174 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: all the pass catching work and Adrian Peterson still warm 175 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: enough body, so just to see for guys in his 176 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: uh official debut, really um, But then the litany of 177 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: bench players case Keenum on the bench. H Thirty six 178 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: year old Donald penn Is playing left tackle. Hasn't played 179 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: the position in since. Next to him is Eric Flowers. 180 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: How do you feel about Eric Flowers, former Giants fan? Uh? Yeah, 181 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: at least let's not re visit that. So that's like 182 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: the most revolving doors left side of the of an 183 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: offensive line in the NFL. For the wide receivers, Paul 184 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: Richardson and Terry McLaurin are on the bench. So is 185 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: Trey Quinn. I was close to giving Fishers boys see 186 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: here because case Keenum has shown an affinity for his 187 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: slot receivers Adam Feeling, Manny Sanders. He even made Tavon 188 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Austin fantasy relevant in tween with the Rams with over 189 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: a hundred targets. But he's on the bench. Uh, and 190 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: so is Jordan Reid suffered another concussion in the preseason. 191 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: But he might play, but I don't. I don't want 192 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: him to play. At some point. I think everybody wants 193 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: him to go. Andrew lock on the bed, all right, 194 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: how about the eagle side. Let's talk about guys who matter, 195 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: all right. Carson Wentz gets an as multiple touchdowns in 196 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: his last three starts against Washington, um Philly might take 197 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: their foot off the gas in the second half. That's 198 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: the only concern with wins. He gets the A, so 199 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: does Art's Zack ERTs. That is has eighty receiving yards 200 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: and four of his last five against Washington, and there's 201 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: basically no chance in hell anyone would bench za Urates. 202 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know why I'm even talking about it anymore. 203 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey gets a be popped up on the injury 204 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: report with a biceps issue, but should be fine. He 205 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: won't be shadowed by Josh Norman. Not like that really, 206 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: ma yep and Wentz will throw multiple touchdowns in this game, 207 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: and Jeffrey a likely recipient. He did go for five 208 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: catches fifty nine yards in a touchdown when these teams 209 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: met lately. In their last meeting late last season, DeShawn Jackson, 210 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm putting him on the bench, has a broken finger. 211 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: Wasn't gonna play, but I was gonna try and play. 212 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: He's always a high risk, high reward, low volume homecoming 213 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: and revenge game. That Jackson. Wow, thanks Matt, you took 214 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: my next bullet. You're so funny over there. But yeah, 215 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: if he sits, sorry, I don't care. And j j 216 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: arthega white Side. I'll tell you what, Yeah, white Side, 217 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: he's he would be a if Deshan Jackson doesn't go 218 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: in particular, but even if he does, J j Arthega 219 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: white Side would be a tantalizing dart throw. See I 220 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: never I never typed that out or right out. It's 221 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: always Jaws or j j W had a little brain 222 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: fart there, But yeah, Jaws would be in line for 223 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: a significant run if d jack sits and Miles Sanders 224 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, I'm just giving both the sea. Philly did 225 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: carry the ball twenty nine times and thirty times in 226 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: both meetings against Washington, but this is gonna be like 227 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: a fifty fifty split. This might be a revisitation of 228 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: what we saw in the Bears backfield basically on Thursday night. 229 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: So just sees for those guys and that's it. Watch 230 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard get twenty touches in this game. Just make 231 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: everybody upside. He's going to see more worse he'll be 232 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: see He'll see more carries and Sanders in this game. 233 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised a little bit like Montgomery, you know, 234 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: just coaches just are so risk averse. They just they 235 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: want to go with their veterans who they know and trust. 236 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: And even if they made that draft pick and they're 237 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: invested in the success of that rookie man, it takes 238 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: a lot to get those guys onto the playing field 239 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: in many situations really quick though. If read Sits don't 240 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: play Vernon Davis either, it's an awful matchup. Philly is 241 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: like top five and yeah, just don't do it. Falcons 242 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: take on the Vikings. This one is a little bit 243 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: tricky because the status of Stepan Diggs true game time 244 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: decision coming for Stefon Diggs, and if he doesn't go, 245 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: it hurts everybody. Everybody basically drops a whole letter grade 246 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: because the Vikings receivers after him. It really tails off. 247 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: And in games that Stefon Diggs has missed, Adam Feeling 248 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: gets twenty fewer yards, he drops down a letter grade. 249 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: If they can't pass to Theeeling as well, where else 250 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: they gonna go? Ola BC Johnson, No, Josh Dockson, Come on, 251 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: Josh Docs, right, I mean, everybody gets hurt. So I'm 252 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: going to pretend for our purposes that Diggs is playing. 253 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: But if he's not, know that everybody else goes down 254 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: a letter grade here, I've got a I've got a 255 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: A grade on feeling for now he's gonna see a 256 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: fair amount, I believe, at least it appears this way 257 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: of Isaiah Oliver cornerback with a lot of passer rating 258 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: one one and his coverage last year. Oliver is one 259 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: of the bigger and slower corners in the league, and Feeling, 260 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: of course super slippery. Now they may move some Feeling 261 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: into the slot some and if they do that, he 262 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: gets demonte Kazi, who is unusually lead footed for a 263 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: slot cornerback. So I think Theeeling can succeed either place. 264 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: I hope he's good, just so we can say demonte 265 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: Kazi exactly. And if if it turns out the dig 266 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: doesn't Diggs doesn't go, then just they're gonna throw two 267 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: bodies on Feeling. So again frustration there for me personally, 268 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: not only is a Viking fan life long, but also 269 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: because I'd like to get this thing straight. We don't 270 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: know about Diggs. If they both go, both Diggs and 271 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: Feeling are roughly in a grade um. And if it 272 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: is Diggs dugment trufun only plays one side of the field. 273 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: They can just flip Diggs on the other side of 274 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: the field and just hangle Obis Johnson out to dry 275 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: on Desmond Trufon. If they want to do that, let's 276 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: go to Cousins then. So Falcon safety is healthy this 277 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: year after missing last year um and so that I 278 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: don't think it makes any sense to regurgitate last year's 279 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: terrible numbers for the secondary of for Atlantic, because they're 280 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: all better now. Vikings offensive line was rebuilt in the 281 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: off season and looked far better in pass blocking than 282 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: run blocking. I've got a B grade on Kirk Cousins 283 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: in this in this one C grade on Kyle Rudolph, 284 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: who scored when these teams met in twenties seventeen. But 285 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't see an obvious reason to expect a big 286 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: game here. Last year, despite all the injuries, the Falcons 287 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: were still a very good tight end defense and which 288 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: should be at least that good this year. And then 289 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: there's Dalvin Cook. The new look Vikings offensive line really 290 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: struggled with run blocking in the preseason, but maybe it 291 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Atlanta is all of the most running back 292 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: receptions last year. They all the most running back receptions 293 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: the year before that, the most the year before that, 294 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: and the most the year before that. Think about it, geez, 295 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: Dan crowning pay. It's a team that's just letting that happen. 296 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: The almost scheming to let running backs catch passes. They 297 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: do have to face Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey, but 298 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: a little bit. It's four tough games. Dalvin Cook is 299 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: a competent pass catcher. I think he's at the level 300 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: of those guys, but he's good enough and he should 301 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: have should get quite a few receptions in this one, 302 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: um and all if you give you know, if you 303 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: give Dalvin Cook in just a crack, you could get 304 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: the eighty four yard touched on. Like we saw in 305 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: the preseason, he is an A grade with digs in 306 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: a B grade without. Let's go to the Falconside, which 307 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: has got a little more clarity on less. Julio Jones 308 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: doesn't play, Yeah, but he's gotta come on. He's playing. 309 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: By all accounts that you know their negotiations have gone better. 310 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna go. So let's start with Julio Jones, who 311 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: has been frustrated by Mike Zimmer and the three matchups 312 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: against Mike Zimmer's Vikings Leo Jones average line four catches, 313 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: fifty four yards, zero touchdowns. That's it. That's Xavier Roads 314 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: right there. That's some Xavier Roads right there. Now, I 315 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: think there's some question about which version of Xavier Roads 316 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: were gonna get. Is it the Pro Bowl guy that 317 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: was around two and three years ago, or is it 318 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: guy who disappointed and was inconsistent last year and then 319 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: look terrible in this one preseason game earlier this year. 320 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: So you know, I still think there's some room for 321 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: doubt about Xavier Rhodes on this and so I've got 322 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: to be grade on Julio Jones. Opposite him is Calvin Ridley. 323 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: Fascinating matchup there as much as Rhads and Julio Jones 324 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: are physical versus physical cornerback receiver matchups. Calvin Ridley is 325 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: all speed. He's a four three eight speed guy. Trey 326 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: Waynes for three one speeds fast, seven hundreds of a 327 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: second faster for Trey Waynes. It's speed on speed. So 328 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: I think those guys get neutralized pretty well by the 329 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Vikings starters. I've got a C grade on Calvin Ridley. 330 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: Trey Waynes didn't start backwards though. When he was getting 331 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: clocked running those well that none of the cornerbacks do 332 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: usually run. They should probably make corners start backwards. I'd 333 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: like to see that Austin Hooper is doesn't score a 334 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: lot anyway. Vikings given three tight end touchdowns in their 335 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: last twenty seven games. That's it, just to see grade 336 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: on Austin Hooper and lastly DeVonta Freeman. In the last 337 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: two seasons, the only one hundred yard rushing games against 338 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota came on a single untouched like ninety yard Kalin 339 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: ballage run against Miami and then Jordan Howard on the 340 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: final game of last year when the Vikings had pretty 341 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: much packed it in. The Vikings run stuff for Lynval 342 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: Joseph missed the entire preseason, but rest assured he is 343 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: going to go in this one. Freeman could catch the ball. 344 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Vikings are the middle of the pack um defense in 345 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: terms of past catchers. Uh so maybe Freeman gets a 346 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: little something done that way through the air. So b 347 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: grade Devanta Freeman.

Matt's face was. 365 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure mine was quite similar. Yeah. When these three 366 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: sleeper quarterbacks running back to receivers hit pay dirt, you 367 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: pay us nothing.

Definitely, positively, in 370 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: a very legally binding way. This song is not ABBA's classic. 371 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: Let's take a chance on Are we not getting played 372 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: to play this on the radio? That's what I'm saying. 373 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: Let's start at the quarterback position. Brian Johnson, who is 374 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: you take a chance? I mean quarterback? All right? He 375 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: was my final sleeper of the preseason because of his 376 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: favorable start. And it starts this week in Arizona. And 377 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: that's Matt Stafford of the Detroit Lions. Of course, Arizona 378 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: will be without both starting cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford, 379 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: Bill roll Out, Tremaine Brock who was on his fifth team, 380 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: uh journeyman and second round rookie Byron Murphy. Marvin Jones 381 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: has four inches and fifteen pounds at least on both 382 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: of these scrubs, Baby Tron. Kenny Golladay has like six 383 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: inches and thirty pounds on these guys, they're just gonna 384 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: dominate the red zone. And uh yeah, Matt Stafford, man, 385 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm listening, all right, Matt, who should take a chance 386 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: on me? Quarterback? Let's go with Andy Dalton and this 387 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: is a garbage time special. Seattle is fourteen and o 388 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: in September home games under Pete Carroll. Yeah, in similar 389 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: garbage time fashion. Last year in a in a road 390 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: game in Seattle, Nick Mullins torched the Seahawks defense for four, 391 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: fourteen and two. And Dalton has actually been really really 392 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: good in September road games as well. In his last 393 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: seven September road games, Andy Dalton is averaging passing yards 394 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: and over two touchdowns per game. What you found the effect? 395 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: What the thin little strip of effective Andy Dalton September 396 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: road games by the way, Bengals too, and oh against 397 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in this decade, and I recall that time. 398 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: I've heard that stat this week, but one of those games, 399 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: and I remember, because it's sung stung close to home 400 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: on a multiple fantasy teams that a dr touchdown to 401 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: Aja Green was taken back and it should not have been. 402 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: And I'm still mad about that. If we add in 403 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: that new coach, Zach Taylor was a coach of the 404 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Rams last year and he's very familiar with this defense, 405 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: that's all you really need to know, all right, Andy Dalton, 406 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly listening to that. It's a two quarterback play. 407 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: Come on, it is Nick Foles goes up against cancer. 408 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I'd rather start Nick Foles. The 409 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: Chief's defenses in major flux, with the new defensive coordinator, 410 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of new faces to replace last year's dubious group. 411 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: Full's best target d D. Westbrook works from the slot, 412 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: and we'll face competent quarterback Kendall Fuller, but nothing more 413 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: than that, and actually Fuller took a pretty big regression 414 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: last year. On the outside. Marcus Lee and Chris Connelly 415 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: get to face two of the shakier starting cornerbacks in 416 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: the league for Shot Breland and something called char Various West. Okay, 417 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, you take a chance, I mean quarterback. Let's 418 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: go to the running back position, Brian, I have Tennessee's 419 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis, who was at Cleveland UM, although he's been 420 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: battling a foot injury all preseason and hasn't played at all. Really, 421 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: Derek Henry will start this game, but he is going 422 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: to flop big time. Check out his splits last year. 423 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: So Tennessee is five and a half point underdogs. Okay, 424 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: last year they're underdogs ten times and favorites six times. 425 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: In the underdog games. Henrietta eleven carries for forty four 426 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: yards and under half a touchdown per game. In the 427 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: six games where their favorites, he had seventeen carries for 428 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards and over and over eight touchdown 429 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: per game. They are big time underdogs in this game, 430 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: and they are going to lose in Cleveland's over Cleveland's 431 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: final nine games, opposing running backs average more than five receptions. 432 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a d On Lewis game. 433 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna outperform Derrick Henry. Here, you kind of convinced 434 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: me on that one. I like it. That's a bold call, 435 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: saying Dion Lewis over Derrick Henry. Alright, Matt, who is 436 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: like a chance? I mean running there's a bold call too, 437 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: But I hate it. I don't even want to start him, 438 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: but you can start time Montgomery, I am I'm doing. 439 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: If you're in like a twenty team PPR league team league, 440 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: I might have to play him. Montgomery should get snaps 441 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: Spelling Levy on Bell for the Jets. The Bills gave 442 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: up the tenth most receptions to running backs last year, 443 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: and last year is a member of the Packers. Montgomery 444 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: had two catches for fifty six yards. Okay, uh C J. Anderson. 445 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: Going back to this Cardinals game, which we all think 446 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna romp in over over the twelve 447 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: years of Darryl Bebble's time as an offensive coordinators team's 448 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: average thirty rushes per game. Carrien Johnson is not going 449 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: to get thirty rushes. C J. Anderson will be a 450 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: big part of the game plan against arguably the worst 451 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: run defense in the league. The Cardinals allowed the most 452 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing runners last year and gave up 453 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: at least one rushing touchdown in each of the final 454 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: six games of last year. C J. Anderson, I think 455 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: my number one running back on the week's carry on Johnson, 456 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: c J Anderson. Some mop up is gonna be good 457 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: enough to make him a flex player for your team. 458 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Let's look at some of the 459 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: guys who catch passes. Beginning. We got some wide receivers 460 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: and tight ends for you. Brian, who you got? Yeah, 461 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: I got a tight end and I'm doubling down on 462 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: the garbage time I'm expecting in Cleveland. So I got 463 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: another Titan, and it's Delaney Walker. Matt's boy. He looked 464 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: pretty good in preseason. He looks like he's back fully healthy. 465 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: He's probably the healthiest he will be all year, and 466 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: Cleveland has been a great matchup for tight ends for 467 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: years now. Last year they conceded six catches, sixty yards 468 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: and nearly half a touchdown per game to the position. 469 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: So Delane, he's going to clean up in garbage times. Okay, 470 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: Matt who is your receiver slash tight end? Sticking with 471 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, Jamison Crowder uh Sam Donald targeted slot wide 472 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends from the slot on sixty percent 473 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: of his throws last season. Adam Gaze's offense in Miami 474 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: targeted the slot a ton too. Both Cutler and Tannehill 475 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: worked the slot at over a fifty percent clip. Remember 476 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: how good Jarvis Landry was in Miami. With Chris Herndon 477 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: on suspension, newcomer Jamison Crowder should see a ton of targets. 478 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: There were only six instances where a wide receiver had 479 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: ten or more targets against the Bills last season. Four 480 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: of those six were slot wide receivers. Adam Feeling went 481 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: for one oh five, Jeronimo Allison went for eighty, and 482 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman did it twice, had nine for one oh 483 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: four and seventy and a touchdown in the other game, 484 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: Crowder is gonna get ten targets. He's gonna have good game. 485 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: All right. I'm going with Richard Higgins. He's the other 486 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: starting receiver for the Cleveland Browns. Everybody wants a part 487 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: of the Brown's offense, but nobody wants one of the 488 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: starting wide receivers. Why not? And here's Odell Beckham, who 489 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: acknowledges he's not healthy in this game. And if a 490 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: Dory Jackson shadows, and he usually is a shadow corner, 491 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: if he's shadows Odell Beckham, that puts Malcolm Butler on 492 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: Richard Higgins. Butler was brutal last year, allowed seven touchdowns 493 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: in his coverage and a quarterback rating of a hundred 494 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: hundred three. Richard Higgins is absolutely startable this week. And 495 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: there you go. You take a chance on me. Glad 496 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: not to have to hear that song again. Geez, that 497 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: is it. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup 498 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: upon whom you can take a chance. So, like you promised, 499 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: we're not gonna play that again. I can't. I can't 500 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: make that promise and we're not gonna play it again today. 501 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: That part I can tell you for listeners to give 502 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: us some royalty free to take a chance on me. 503 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: I asked that, like kind of listener, kind of listener 504 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: just make their own version of of take a chance 505 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: on me, their own cover version. No, what if we 506 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: sing at acapella that I brought that up to. What 507 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: if While I'm talking, Matt's humming the ABA version of 508 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: take a chance? I mean, so we're kind of in 509 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: a box with our royalty free take a chance on 510 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: me music. We need we need to learn these rules. Yeah, 511 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: let's work in a couple other matchups. Buffalo takes on 512 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: the Jets. Matt, you already talked about a couple of Jets. 513 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: But let's go to the Buffalo side of this thing. 514 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity for um for any Buffalo Bills? 515 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: A team that, frankly, most people don't have on their roster. 516 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: I got two starting grades. Number one is Josh Allen. 517 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: He gets a C grade. He was a top five 518 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: quarterback over the final six weeks the last season. However, 519 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: much of that was based solely on rushing. He only 520 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: threw for two hundred thirty yards twice last season in 521 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: twelve starts, had multiple touchdowns in only two games. Allen 522 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: only did play the Jets once last year. Had a 523 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: very forgettable day through the air, but had nine rushes 524 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: for a hundred and one yards and a score on 525 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: the ground. That's what you're hoping for with Josh Allen. 526 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: The Jets defense did allow twelve different quarterbacks to throw 527 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: from multiple scores last year. Uh John Brown is probably 528 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: his best target. In the final six weeks of the season, 529 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: Allen threw deep balls in almost twenty of his plays, 530 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: and Brown is the deep threat. Last year, his average 531 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: depth of target was sixteen point one yards. That was 532 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: playing with Joe Flacco and noted downfield specialist Lamar Jackson. 533 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: The Jets allowed the second most yards to wide receivers 534 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: last season, and eight different wide receivers top to hunder 535 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: against the Jets last year, so Brown gets to see 536 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: as well. Everybody else on the Buffalo side is on 537 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: the bench. The running backs Frank Gore, Devin Singletary, t J. Yelden. 538 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: Jets had a middle of the pack run defense last year, 539 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: but they got an offensive improvement with C. J. Moseley, 540 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: who anchored the second best run defense in the league 541 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: last season. We don't know how this split is gonna 542 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: work out either. It's probably gonna be mostly single. Terry's 543 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: probably the change of pay with the Elden getting the 544 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: third down work. It's it's probably bad a guy. I 545 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley. He's on the bench, but he's a 546 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: stash on a deep roster. But there's not a ton 547 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: of situations where you be starting him in week one. 548 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Jets side. Levy on 549 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: Bell obvious A. Bills gave up twenty one total scores 550 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: two running backs last year, the second most in the league. 551 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: I already told you about time Montgomery's gonna take a 552 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: chance on me back. There might be enough to go around. 553 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson. I'm giving a C grade to should draw 554 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: shadow coverage from trade Davious White. He's one of the 555 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: better cover corners in the league. But Anderson did post 556 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: seventy six yards in a score against White last year, 557 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: So there's the silver lining. Sam Donald I got as 558 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: a bench grade, though I mean I gave Anderson and 559 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: Crowder and Montgomery some love. He's almost worthy worthy of 560 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: a C. But no, not this week. I don't think 561 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: so either. Um. You've probably heard us talking about the 562 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: Guillotine League, the hottest new format in Fantasy Sports seventeen teams. 563 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Each week, the low scoring team gets cut from the 564 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: league and their entire roster goes to the waiver wire. 565 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: It makes for crazy waiver wire brunts. By the way, 566 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm in deep trouble in one league. I had to 567 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: start this guy in one of my Guillotine leagues, Trombone Ski, 568 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: and I started David Montgomery Willingly in another one. The 569 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: Bears are tanking you. I could be cut out of 570 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: this league when the low scoring team gets cut. It 571 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: could be me in one of my Guillotine league. Good thing, 572 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: you can still join them.

These seems met last year 586 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: and as you guys may recall, only game Patrick Mahomes 587 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: did not throw a pass touchdown pass in and I 588 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: ran one in salvaging a day Fantasy day. But this 589 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: was the only team just to shut him out. And 590 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: that's uh, that's not trivial. There's uh, there's let's start 591 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: with let's start with let's start with that. For all 592 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: the problems jackson Will had last year, and I think 593 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: fantasy owners, you know, tend to remember a lass season 594 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: the five only the five wins, But it wasn't the 595 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: defense fault. They ranked number two in passing yards allowed, 596 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: number two in passing touchdowns allowed, and their defense might 597 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: be better this year with the addition of defense eve 598 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: End Josh Allen and selected seventh in the draft, you 599 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: would think that they would have poured draft picks into 600 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: their offense, but they didn't do that. In janetal Bille, 601 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: they improved an already epic defense. So yeah, that's um, 602 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: that's something we're gonna have to try to figure out 603 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: before too long here. And I think Patrick Mahomes is 604 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: going to be somebody that is only a B grade. 605 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: This would probably this might be the only B grade 606 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: that we give to Patrick Mahomes all year. This might 607 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: be it um staying with the passing game. Newly minted 608 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: multi millionaire Tyreek Hill, No, he is also just a 609 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: B grade. No secondary allowed fewer scores to wide receivers 610 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: than Jacksonville seven last year, and they surrendered him easily 611 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: one thirty three yards per game to the position. That's 612 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: the fourth fewest. Tyrek should expect to see shutdown corner 613 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey and shadow coverage. She gave up just two 614 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: catches to Hill last time they met, so I you 615 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: got to be cautious with Hill now. Granted, nobody would 616 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: be surprised if Patrick Mahomes through for two yards and 617 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and Tyreek Hill with making might be grade 618 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: sound ironic, but the Jaguars defense is totally legit. Travis 619 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: Kelsey gets an A grade. Jaguars are a good tight 620 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: end defense last year, but Kelsey proved too much to 621 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: handle it. He posted a one yard game, which was 622 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: nineteen more yards and any other tight end put up 623 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: on Jacksonville last year did not score in that game, 624 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: though Miles Jack posted the third lowest passer rating allowed 625 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: in his coverage and his speed is gonna be great 626 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: in shadowing Kelsey and I think that's another tough matchup. 627 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: So Kelsey, I'm still giving an a grade in part 628 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: because he's a tight end and he's you know, in 629 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: with the few tight ends are out there, I think 630 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: he's still a grade worthy. Let's go to the running backs, 631 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: where it's a little bit thornier, well, the whole things 632 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: thorny city really, Uh, let's start with Damian Williams. I 633 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna see a ton of of Leshawn 634 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: McCoy in this game. Only one week in Kansas City, right, Um, 635 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: eight to ten touches for Lashawn McCoy Is that southing about? Right? Yeah, 636 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: that's that's enough. That a lot, but that is a lot. 637 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: That's a huge thing in in in what you could 638 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: get out of Damian Williams. Unfortunately, the Jaguars allowed the 639 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: ninth fewest rushing yards last year, the ninth fewest rushing touchdowns, 640 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: seventh fewest receptions, to running backs and sixth fewest receiving 641 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: yards per running back. So I mean it's all bad here, 642 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: real sounds on the bench. I've got a C grade 643 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: on on Damien Williams. I've got a bench grade on 644 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy just because I don't think the eight to 645 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: ten touches is enough to get him where you need 646 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: him to go. And we'll talk more about Lashawn McCoy 647 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: a little later as well. Let's go to the Jacksonville 648 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: side of note. Left tackle Cam Robinson is not expecting 649 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: to play in this game, and that is a big 650 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: loss when we saw how bad that Jaguars line was 651 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: last year without Cam Robinson. So hopefully this is just 652 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: a one game thing for him. Leonard Fournette would otherwise 653 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: be looking at a pretty solid game, and he still 654 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: might be. Kansas City gave up the seventh most rushing attempts, 655 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: the fifth most rushing yards, the sixth most rushing touchdowns 656 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: per game to running backs, and five yards per carry. 657 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: That's what Kansas City was giving up. So I still 658 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: like Leonard Fournette here. He'll get virtually all the work. 659 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: And last year when Leonard Fournette did not play in 660 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: the meeting between these two teams. T J. Yeldon went 661 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: off for a buck twenty two gross. If t J. 662 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: Yeldon can do it running behind no line, I think 663 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: for nett Ken as well. A grade for Leonard four. 664 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: Nett already talked about Nick Foles might take a chance 665 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. He gets a B grade here. Let's 666 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: go to his number one wide receiver, D D. Westbrook 667 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: The chief secondary allowed fourteen receptions and one hundred seventy 668 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: two yards per game to opposing receivers last season, fifth 669 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: most in both categories, and I don't see any reason 670 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: to suggest they're going to be better now. Slot cornerback 671 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller regressed badly and coverage last season. As I 672 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: alluded to earlier, he gave up a one D ten 673 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: passer rating in his coverage. That's the guy that's gonna 674 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: be on D. D. West Westbrooks, so I think he's 675 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: going to be okay here. Now, I will note this, 676 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: they brought in Honey Badger, who plays this hybrid safety 677 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: role where they'll also cover guys in the slot that 678 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: might that might be a problem for D. D. West 679 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: So I've got to be grade on him. We're not 680 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: for honey badger. I'd give him an A on D D. 681 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: Westbrook And then here's your dark throw, Chris Connolly. It's 682 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: a revenge game for Chris Connolly. Yeah, I started Mark Kisley. 683 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: It's his first game back off a c L missed 684 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: all of last year. Chris Connelly a terrific matchup against 685 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: lead footed cornerback Brishot Brelan. Connolly is a four three 686 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: speed guy. Brian is a four six guys like six 687 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: three to He's a big Connolly is a crazy for 688 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: six slowgas slogan. Obviously absolutely yea. So Connolly is your 689 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: your official dark throw. Let's go to Tennessee taking on 690 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,720 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Brian, you already gave us some members 691 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans that you like in this matchup. 692 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I can. I don't think I can 693 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: go with I don't think I can go with their 694 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: quarterback though, Marcus Mariota. No, he's on the bench. Uh, 695 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: he could get benched in real life. So can we 696 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: have Ryan Tannehill breathing down your neck bad guy in 697 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup? And I don't want Corey Davis or 698 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: A J. Brown in my fantasy lineup either. Really, the 699 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: key is well, Tennessee is gonna be gonna be without 700 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: their starting left tackle who's suspended, um Taylor Lawan, and 701 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,919 Speaker 1: then they're starting right tackle is bad and coming off 702 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: a A C L tear in December, and that Cleveland 703 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: front seven is carrocious. So Mario is not gonna have 704 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: time to give the ball downfield. So Corey Davis a J. 705 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: Brown on the bench to J. Sharp Is actually was 706 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: a starter opposite Cory Davis. So Adam Humphreys might be 707 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: the one wide receiver I would start if I had to, 708 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: but I'm still not doing that. Um, you know I'm 709 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: not starting Derrick Henry either. Put him on the bench. 710 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier in the games where Tennessee is 711 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: the underdog, he's averaging more than fifty yards less and 712 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: half a touchdown less per game, and he hasn't played 713 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: all preseason. He has not gotten acclimated to the new offense. Um, 714 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: I got him on the bench. Uh, that's that easy. 715 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: And that's why Dion Lewis is might take a chance 716 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: on me running back, and Delaney Walker was might take 717 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: it ancew me receiver. I think the majority of targets 718 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: in garbage owner will be funneled to those guys underneath. 719 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: So I'm with you on that, all right. How about 720 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: the Cleveland side, A little different story. On this side, 721 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield will give him an A. UM. How much 722 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: better is Baker Mayfield than Eli Manning? You ask I can? 723 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: I can answer that last season, even though apparently I 724 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: asked it. I can also answer it. Last season, Eli 725 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: through the fourth most passes of twenty plus yards down field, 726 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: but registered a lowly eighties six passer rating. Mayfield, who 727 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: started in week four when he started playing, attempted seventy 728 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: deep balls, third most, but he had a hundred and 729 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: seven passer rating. And there's this highlight reel going around 730 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: like the greatest hits of the incompletions from Eli. Todell 731 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: beg him and it is. It's horrifying to watch. So 732 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: that's gonna change for O. B J who gets an 733 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: A as well. I heard he's practicing today. He'll be fine. 734 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: But don't worry about the injuries. Uh, we're hearing about. 735 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee secondary allowed the seventh most touchdowns to wide receivers 736 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,240 Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, Malcolm Butler is just awful. Allowed 737 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns in seven eight yards in his coverage last year, 738 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna eat. Although I think that Dorry Jackson's 739 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: gonna shadow I'll be j a lot. And again I 740 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: think for Chard Higgins is the sneaky play there. Well yeah, 741 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: well I'm gonna I was gonna mention you'd take a 742 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: chance to me wide receiver. I'm hearing no shadowing for Dory, 743 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: but we'll see. But Jarvis Landry, I almost want to 744 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: bench him as well, but give him a ce. But 745 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: this is a tough matchup. Logan Ryan is legit and um, 746 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: this is just the game where Baker's targets are gonna 747 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: be funnel to the outside. So I'll give Landry the sea. 748 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: But uh, I would love to give him a minus 749 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: if I could, but I know I cannot. Let's go 750 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: to one more pass catcher, David and Joeku, a guy 751 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: you probably have to start, um, but he's in a 752 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 1: bad spot. Tennessee was bottom ten and catches and yards 753 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: allowed to tight ends and the only surrendered two touchdowns 754 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: to the position last year. I'd go find the Darren 755 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: Waller owner right now and offer David and Joku and 756 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: try to make a trade all this. I think everybody's 757 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: on Darren Waller now I think that, But I think 758 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: you could. I think you'd trade and Joker for him. 759 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't think you could. I think you could anyway, 760 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: keep the try and then Nick Chubb finally get and a. 761 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee was the middle of the pack against the run 762 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: when it comes to d v O A. But they 763 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: only surrendered seven total touchdowns and running backs. That's not good. 764 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: But it's just too tempting to pick on that awful 765 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: secondary of the Titans. Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Scratch that, 766 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard. That bullet was in the wrong place. And 767 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 1: I was just gonna mention Dontrell Hilliard is on the bench, 768 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: but he'll be involved and he should be rostered in 769 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: deeper leagues. We're gonna talk more about Dontrell Hilliard later 770 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: in the show. All right, let's go to Indianapolis taking 771 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: on the Chargers. Matt, it's our first game with Jacobe Brissette. 772 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,959 Speaker 1: Do you dare start him right out of the gate? 773 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: I toyed with using him as might take a chance 774 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: on me quarterback as the Chargers are missing Derwin James, 775 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: but they're not missing Joey Bosa or Melvin Ingram right, 776 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 1: so Brissettes on the bench. Uh, Brissette held the ball 777 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: on average of two point nine seven seconds before he 778 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: threw it. That ranked the fifth most time in the league. 779 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 1: That's not a good thing with Joey Bosa and Melvin 780 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: Ingram breathing down. You're not although in fairness, he's got 781 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: maybe the best of God protecting him now. I have 782 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: very high hopes for him this season, just not this game. 783 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that. Um t Y Hilton. 784 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: I gave a C grade two Paris Campbell Devon Funcius 785 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: on the bench, Hilton matches up with Casey Hayward, one 786 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 1: of the better cover corners in the game. The Chargers 787 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: allowed the second fewest receptions in the fifth fewest yards 788 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: to wide receivers last year. That's why Hilton only gets 789 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: the C. H. Tight ends Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle 790 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: both getting a C grade. Bursette targeted the tight end 791 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: copiously in seventeen is Doyle average six receptions per game. 792 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: Frank Reich runs two tight end sets thirty four percent 793 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: of the time, which was the third most in the league. 794 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: I think both of them can eat Doyle is the 795 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: possession guys to target him more in PPR leagues. Ebron 796 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: is the rare tight end vulture. I'd use him more 797 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: in non PPR Big DFS tournaments. There is Eric Ebron 798 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: chiming in from the three yard line right there. That's him. Uh. 799 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: And then Marlon Mack. I'm giving a B grade to 800 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: Mack is morphed into a bell cow running back, and 801 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: it really happened over the final month of the season 802 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: last year. In the last five games, Mac averaged five 803 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: yards per carrying a touchdown per game on the ground, 804 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,280 Speaker 1: but also his average passing routes run went from thirteen 805 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 1: and a half early in the season to twenty three 806 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: point three in the final month. This means bye bye 807 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: Niheim Hines and the Chargers gave up the fourth most 808 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: receptions to the running back position last year. So Marlon 809 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: Max kind of teetering on almost an A there, but 810 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: he's still getting a B. Philip Rivers on the other side, Uh, 811 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: he gets a C grade. I'm nervous about the offensive line, 812 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: who are still missing left tackle Russell o'kung. All five 813 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: starters now rank as a sixty one or below out 814 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: of a hundred in PFF's ratings. That's a D minus 815 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: to a failing grade for every member of their offensive 816 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: line that's starting this week. And a stat from chart. 817 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 1: In games without Gordon last year, Rivers averaged sixty three 818 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: fewer yards and one point three fewer touchdowns. It's if 819 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: it's bad for the offense, it's bad for the offense. 820 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 1: Sure is Austin Ekeler. Let's talk about him. He's getting 821 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: a B grade. I gave Justin Jackson the bench grade, 822 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: and the three games without Gordon last year, Eckler outtouched 823 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: Jackson nearly two to one. In the preseason, Eckler out 824 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: snapped Jackson nearly two to one. This seems like a 825 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 1: two to one split in Neckler's favor, and it's a 826 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: better split for the pass catching running back, as the 827 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,959 Speaker 1: Colts surrendered the second most receptions to opposing running backs 828 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: last year. If Gordon was playing, Eckler would still be 829 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: startable in this time. Uh Keenan Allen, I'm giving him 830 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: a B grade. Mike Williams is hitting your bench. Rivers 831 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: time in the pocket will be short, which means he's 832 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: going to target Allen the most. Allen ran out of 833 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: the slot fifty six percent of the time last year 834 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: and had had the lowest average depth of target out 835 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: of all receivers last year at only nine point four. 836 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: Mike Williams was at fifteen point six. They're not gonna 837 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: have time to throw to him downfield. Finally, Hunter Henry, 838 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm giving an a grade two. For as good as 839 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 1: the Colts were against wide receivers, they were the opposite 840 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: against tight ends last year. The Colts allowed the most 841 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: receptions and yards to the tight end last season. He's 842 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: totally back and healthy. He's gonna be a huge part 843 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: in this offense. I got and Henry all these like 844 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: I love it. I man, I hope you're right. I 845 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: hope you're right. You know, for all of us that 846 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: rolled the dice on Hunter Henry maybe three tight end 847 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: in the bree season, I'd love to see him come back. 848 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: I want to touch on a couple of quick hitters 849 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: with you guys relating to the Packers the Packers offense. 850 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: They won the game, but the offense only put up 851 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: ten points. Aaron Jones in particular looked uh troubling, mostly 852 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: because it was almost an even split on time share. 853 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: Jamal Bleep and Williams not interested in that guy. What 854 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: is your level of concern on Aaron Jones? They were 855 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: underdogs right Matt Lafleur's offense in Tennessee last year. Brian 856 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: just told us about it. He doesn't give the ball 857 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: to his bell cow running back when he's an underdog, 858 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: so watch out for that. If the Packers are not favored, 859 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones might be on your bench now. I wonderful 860 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: they'll be favorite against the Vikings next week. This might 861 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: there might be an opportunity to buy low on Aaron 862 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: Jones at some point here pretty soon. And uh, it 863 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,280 Speaker 1: may have that process may have already started. Coming up next, 864 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: let's answer three tough questions. You get to play along, 865 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 1: try to go a perfect three and oh on Fantasy 866 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: Football Weekly.

It's 871 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: time to get into the grinder with three tough questions. 872 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: Listeners you can play along see if you can go 873 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,479 Speaker 1: three and oh tough question number one. Redskins head coach 874 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: J Gruden says that his offense will go through running 875 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 1: back Darius Guys for this season. Will guys be and 876 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: RB one and RB two, a flex or a bench 877 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: player on the whole every week will be a little 878 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: bit different on the whole. Will he be an RB one, 879 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: RB two flex or bench player? Brian? Alright, so technically 880 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,720 Speaker 1: he's not a rookie, but he is a rookie. Um, 881 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: and all rookie quote unquote workhorse backs hit the wall 882 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: most do, jumping from twelve games in college to sixteen 883 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,879 Speaker 1: games in the pro. In the pros now speaking well, 884 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: I said most um. Now speaking of games real ones, Uh, guys, 885 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: hasn't played one since college. In speaking of college, you 886 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: know we saw moreries once and he actually in the 887 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 1: two seasons prior had less combined carries than the two 888 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: plus seasons. So he is not proven to be durable whatsoever. 889 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 1: Throw in the crap line. Adrian Peterson still good enough 890 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: to you know, steal some work from him, and Chris 891 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 1: Thompson gonna take all the receiving work. I'm going bench 892 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: is going on, right, I can't trust him. He's gonna 893 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: have a good game or two, hopefully early on. It's 894 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: probably not gonna be this week. I gave him a 895 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: see but once he does, you sell high strike wild 896 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: iron is hot. That's my story. Be Matt. I'm gonna 897 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: be negative Matt today. He won't be on any of 898 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 1: my teams this year. And that's dude. Of everything. Brian said, 899 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: left tackle Trent Williams out, Adrian Peterson, case Keenum or 900 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins under center. I don't believe coach speak at 901 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: this time of year either, So whatever Jay Gruden says, 902 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. He's on my bench. I don't 903 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 1: think he's better than that. There's also you got you 904 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: hit most of the negatives on Darius guys, but not 905 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: all of them. Let me give you two more the 906 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: negative game scripts that are gonna packed him. Actually every week, 907 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: let's say bad Washington defense and an offense is gonna 908 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: score no points, and he averaged less than one reception 909 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: per game in college. Brian alluded to the fact that 910 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,720 Speaker 1: Chris Thompson will be the past catching back. I believe 911 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: that is true. And while Gary Darius Sky doesn't have 912 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: just stone hands. But he's not Chris Thompson, who's really 913 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: gifted that way. You're all all that together, um, and 914 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: the only thing really working for guys is that he's 915 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: the starter. But he's the starter on probably the NFL's 916 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: worst or second worst offense, and more often than not, 917 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: that puts you on the bench. Dumb question Number two. 918 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 1: Chief's head coach Andy Reid says that it's a timeshare 919 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: with Shawn McCoy and Damian Williams for this season. Will 920 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,240 Speaker 1: the Shawn McCoy be an RB one, an r B two, 921 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: a flex or a bench player? Matt didn't. I just 922 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: mentioned that I don't believe anything coaches say at this 923 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: time of year. I believe you did. Yeah, and do 924 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: you read? Has never gone running back by committee. He's 925 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 1: not going to go running back by committee. And people 926 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 1: seem to forget how bad Lashawn McCoy was last year. 927 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: Is the sole lead dog running back on a team 928 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: that wanted to run the ball and had a rushing 929 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 1: quarterback with him. It's not like the upgrade to the 930 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: better offense doesn't come with a cost. He's splitting time 931 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: with Damian Williams at very best fifty fifty and Darwin 932 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: Thompson is still involved. They like Williams too, They signed 933 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 1: him to a deal at the end of last season. 934 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: Recois on your bench, all right, Brian, I'm gonna have 935 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: to disagree. I don't care what he did with Buffalo 936 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: last year or the year before the year before that. 937 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: He actually had good years of Buffalo. Buffalo blows the city. 938 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: The team actually have been to the city. I don't 939 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: remember it well. The beer is strong there that there's that, 940 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: but it Bills Mafias any indication, yes it is. I 941 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: missed my twenties, But anyway, where was I going? Shady? 942 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: I remember right to watch Bill's Ions a couple of 943 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: weeks ago on Friday night preseason, so depressed about having 944 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: to do this right. But Shady, you look good. And 945 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: everyone remembers Devin Singletary stole the touchdown from distance in 946 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: that game and he got all the pub the following day. Whatever, 947 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 1: but whatever. Andy Reid was watching that game too, and 948 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,919 Speaker 1: he liked what he saw, and he loves la Shawn 949 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: McCoy like a son. Essentially season game watcher, Andy Reid, 950 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: he's been scouting McCoy for years, just waiting for this 951 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: and uh, he went out and got him. It's gonna 952 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: take some time, but he's gonna get more carries than 953 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: Damian Williams Uh probably a quarter of the way through 954 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 1: the season, and then finished as an RB two overall 955 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: for the Casey Chiefs. The last time McCoy played with 956 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:46,479 Speaker 1: Andy Reid was twenty twelve, seven years ago. Seven years ago. 957 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: That year, he had a two rushing touchdown season, two kikes. 958 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 1: That's it for Lashawn McCoy that year, and then he 959 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: got shipped off to Buffalo Purgatory Um. Last year, Lashawn 960 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: McCoy ranked five the fifth at running back by Pro 961 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: Football Focus last season, fiveth from the bottom. His yards 962 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: per carry have plummeted over the last two years, down 963 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: to three point to last year. He's not elusive, he's 964 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: got anymore. He's got middling speed at this stage of 965 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,919 Speaker 1: his career, and he doesn't bring any power anymore. In fact, 966 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: from the power standpoint, get this. On his third his 967 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: last thirteen carries from inside the five yard line, he 968 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: has scored twice. The power is not there. He's not 969 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,760 Speaker 1: effective at the stripe anymore. You roll all that together, 970 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 1: and while I do believe that there will be opportunities 971 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,239 Speaker 1: for him to do something in an offense, it's gonna 972 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: score forty points and you know most weeks you'll be 973 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: in the thirties and forties. That's enough to give him 974 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: some opportunity. He's just not that good anymore and at 975 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: best he is going to be a flex player. Would 976 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: you rather have Lashawn McCoy or Darius Guiss McCoy because 977 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: the offense I would I would rather have and that's 978 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: why he's a Flexidi's guys, was a bet. You don't 979 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be rejuvenated at all now that he's 980 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 1: healthy and on a good team. He's well, he's thirty one. 981 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: How do you rejuvenate yourself thirty one? I know that's 982 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: getting there, But go to one of those European think 983 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: tanks and European crypto chamber, cryro chamber. That's what he needs. Yeah, 984 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:14,240 Speaker 1: just like just like Antonio Brown. Question number three, speaking 985 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 1: of given the chaos surrounding Antonio Brown over the course 986 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: of the season, will Tyrrell Williams being a wide receiver 987 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 1: one wide receiver to flex or bench Brian, Yeah, I 988 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: think there's about a fifty percent chance that Antonio Brown 989 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: just totally goes off the reservation right, and then it's 990 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: it's all said and done. So I'm gonna this is 991 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,720 Speaker 1: a tough one. We should be talking about Darren Waller instead. Anyway, 992 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: you've talked enough about Darrenier if you could ever steer 993 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 1: a conversation toward Darren Waller. Yes, but Tyrell flashed for 994 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers in the past, but he always played second 995 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: and third fiddle to Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates or 996 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, whoever the tight end was. He did play 997 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: a major role in when Keenan Allen was hurt for 998 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: most of the year, saw nineteen targets and turned into 999 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: sixty nine nice catches for a thousand plus yards and 1000 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,879 Speaker 1: seven scores. And with the Brown situation and the fact 1001 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,399 Speaker 1: that Williams is the number two wide receiver, I think 1002 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: a hundred plus targets or immortal lock and he can 1003 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: put similar numbers to the those numbers he put up 1004 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: in twenty six. Albeit he's on the Raiders now and 1005 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: not the Chargers. I think he will be a solid 1006 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: flex play this season. Okay, I told you it was 1007 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: negative Matt today, emphatic benching. I don't care that he 1008 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: could be the wide receiver one on an offense with 1009 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: a bad QB and somehow Nathan Peterman looming with a 1010 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: terrible offensive line, a coach who wants to take the 1011 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: game back to the nineties. It's just a bad offense overall. 1012 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 1: And guess who the wide receiver one on that offense 1013 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,839 Speaker 1: was last year? Jordy Nelson. How did that work out? 1014 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 1: He finished forty nine in Fantasy points for what the 1015 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 1: majority If we're going in each oh my gosh, this 1016 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 1: is this is going to be a disaster in Oakland 1017 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: all year. You don't want anything to do with Tyrelle Williams. 1018 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 1: I'll go Darren Waller, but not Tyrelle Williams. Good lord, 1019 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 1: you know you too. You're Darren Waller. I get the 1020 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 1: feeling that, especially you, Brian, you could be you could 1021 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: be in You could be in court and you could 1022 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: they could swear you in and you would steer the 1023 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 1: conversation from the prosecution because you'd be a defendant towards 1024 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 1: Darren Waller. Well, I uses my sleeping like the second 1025 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: week and you kind of rolled your eyes at me 1026 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 1: at the time and that look where're at Darren Waller's ald, 1027 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: So help you Waller cannot prove any I roll I 1028 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: can't do it. The biggest advantage I think you get 1029 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: with Tyrolle Williams is his own teams and teams ineptitude. 1030 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: The Raiders are gonna be playing behind in almost every game, 1031 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: and they just volume alone is going to be a 1032 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: friend to him. You know, I think Brian, you mentioned 1033 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: a hundred potential hundred targets potentially going his way. That 1034 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,880 Speaker 1: sounds about right. Also working his favor, Antonio Brown's contract 1035 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,720 Speaker 1: is guaranteed on Monday. That means because will beyond roster 1036 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 1: on Monday, and all all all vested veterans, if you're 1037 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: on roster on Monday, you are guaranteed your contract. That 1038 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,760 Speaker 1: means the wheels can come off beginning Tuesday. For Antonio Brown. 1039 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: That's all it's got to take. It could happen. That's 1040 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: another fact that works in his favor. You can do whatever, 1041 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: even Brown do whatever he wants after Monday. Williams has 1042 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 1: a history of being a downfield threat. He's got height 1043 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: and speed to get under passes. Granted, Derek Carr is 1044 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 1: also a very bad downfield passer, so I'm not sure 1045 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 1: how many of those are going to connect, but there 1046 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: are going to be times when you're going to want 1047 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 1: the garbage and Tyroll Williams is going to deliver. We'll 1048 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: help you find those times as a flex start. There 1049 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 1: might be carbage time this year, carbage time. There's going 1050 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 1: to be carbage time. Let's work in another matchup, Baltimore 1051 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: taking on the Miami Dolphins. The Baltimore side of this 1052 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,839 Speaker 1: is pretty interesting, the Miami side not so much. Where 1053 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 1: do you want to start with Baltimore? Lamar Jackson of course, yeah, baby, 1054 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 1: but my number two ranked quarterback for this week. No, 1055 00:54:54,880 --> 00:55:00,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't get in a. He gets an at really 1056 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: because Miami allowed the third most quarterback rushing yards last year, 1057 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: including two d and thirty two josh Allen alone, who 1058 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 1: also totaled five passing touchdowns in those two games. So 1059 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson A and just the quick heads up. L 1060 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: Jacks squares off with Kyler Murray next week. That will 1061 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: be to the running game or to continue with the 1062 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 1: running game. I should say mark Ingram too gets an 1063 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: a as well. Miami gave up the second most rushing attempts, 1064 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: third most rushing yards, and fourth most rushing touchdowns per 1065 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs last season and after you. 1066 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: I thank fanball writer Parker Leach for this stat um 1067 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: so Ingram average twelve carries per game with the Saints 1068 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, that's perfect because running backs who received 1069 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,839 Speaker 1: at least twelve carries against Miami averaged eighty one rushing 1070 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: yards on five yards per carrying more than half a 1071 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 1: touchdown per game. Mark Ingram and a Justice Hill, I'm 1072 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: tempted him, go for it. I will, I will see. 1073 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,240 Speaker 1: Although Gus Edward, you want this, give me another rookie 1074 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,799 Speaker 1: thing you wanted. Edwards, I got bench on paper. I'm 1075 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: speaking to it. So Hill on the bench. Keep your 1076 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: eye on him, though, Adam in your league if he's available, 1077 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: just know that. But Jim Harba said he'd ride the 1078 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: hot hand, and Hills hands look pretty hot and lots 1079 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: of other stuff too. But he's on the bench this week, 1080 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: as are all the wide receivers. Miles Boykin is the 1081 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 1: one you'd be interested in, but that also means he 1082 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: probably draws Avian Howard, who's the one player in Miami. 1083 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 1: But actually it sells excels at what he does. So 1084 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: Boykin on the bench, Mark Andrews, this guy is going 1085 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: to be a pain in everyone's a this year. The 1086 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: guy can play his average of eleven yards per target 1087 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: trails only O. G. Howard among all players with at 1088 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 1: least fifty targets over the past two seasons all players players. No, really, 1089 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 1: I'm that correct, alight. I gotta like receivers its side ends. 1090 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but sadly Andrews never saw more than fifty 1091 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: of the snaps in a single game last year, and 1092 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 1: if that carries over this year, it's trouble. But it's 1093 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 1: a great matchup. Miami will have nine tight end touchdowns 1094 00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: last year or second most, so I'm giving him a 1095 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 1: c over to Miami. Kenyan Drake gets a see he 1096 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote get a lot of touches, but a lot 1097 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: of touches in Miami could be like nine on their 1098 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 1: scale of a lot of touches nine times times you 1099 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: might touch the ball. This is a tough defense nine times. 1100 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: Thank you. It's good to have that back. Yeah. Baltimore 1101 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: allowed three and a half yards per carry in a 1102 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 1: league three point nine yards per target to running back, 1103 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 1: so they can't get it done on the ground or 1104 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: through the air. Just to see for Drake. No Kalin 1105 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 1: Blage talk today no, Well, here, I'll give you a talker. 1106 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: Drop him or trade him. Trade him now, trade him 1107 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: now while he's got some level of perceived value. Calin 1108 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 1: Blage is bad and he's on what is probably going 1109 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 1: to be one of the two worst offenses in the NFL. True, 1110 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: what's not bad is Baltimore secondary, especially since they went 1111 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,760 Speaker 1: out and got Earl Thomas the place safety. So Albert Wilson, 1112 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: DeVante Parker, Preston Williams on the bench. I like Wilson 1113 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 1: and Preston Williams your guy charge though season long, long, 1114 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: long term, not this week, though it this week. Preston 1115 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: Williams gonna be fascinating next seasonally, must add in Dynasty 1116 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: he's available in your leak. And then lastly Stu Beard, 1117 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 1: Ryan Patrick. It's gotta be bench to bench, but watch 1118 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 1: him go off for four hundred. Watch at this time 1119 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 1: last year heading into Week one, we were telling you 1120 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: to Ben try and Fitzpatrick and then he went into 1121 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: New Orleans and through four touchdowns, so in like four 1122 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 1: yards yeah right right now, yet way way better receivers then, 1123 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 1: and a better overall team to work with.

Let's go to 1149 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 1: the Giants taking on the Dallas Cowboys, and I'll start 1150 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: on the Giant side. Obviously, say kran Barkley gets an 1151 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 1: obvious A grade. I'm not even gonna spend extra time 1152 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: on that, but do know that he's had a lot 1153 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 1: of success in his short career against the Giants anyway. Uh, sorry, 1154 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys anyway. Let's go to the passing gave me. 1155 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 1: Eli Manning gets a C grade here. He actually posted 1156 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 1: two decent games against the Cowboys last year, which shocked me. 1157 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,479 Speaker 1: I was fully prepared to just tell everybody to bench 1158 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,480 Speaker 1: Eli two yards and three hundred yards in the two 1159 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 1: matchups last year. In those games, he threw the ball 1160 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 1: forty four and forty one times. And if he's going 1161 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,439 Speaker 1: to play from behind again, which I think is gonna 1162 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,640 Speaker 1: be the case here, he's gonna just just through sheer volume. 1163 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: He could be Fantasy relevant. He might have had a 1164 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: receiver named O'Dell Beckham last year. That does help. Yeah, said, 1165 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't have that, but who does he have? Was 1166 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 1: healthy in those games, and you're probably gonna say that 1167 01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:00,040 Speaker 1: nobody scored in both of those games. That's right. I 1168 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: expect Eli to force feed Evan Ingram a lot in 1169 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,479 Speaker 1: this game. He also topped four receptions in forty yards 1170 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 1: in each of the four career games he's had against 1171 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so they have schemed him into those games. 1172 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram gets a B grade in this one. And 1173 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 1: then there's the odd case of Sterling Shepherd, the restarting 1174 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 1: receiver nobody wants. He's not even on the injury report. 1175 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: You know, he went down in the preseason and everybody's like, well, 1176 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: that's that for Sterling Shepherd. He's still a go to 1177 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: receiver on this team. Now, Grant, I've just been shut 1178 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 1: down in five straight games against the Cowboys. But he's 1179 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: never been the go to receiver either. That's always been 1180 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. He will mostly be playing from the outside. 1181 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 1: He used to be more of a slot guy. They're 1182 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: gonna move him a lot outside here, and actually that's 1183 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: also bad news because then he goes up against Dallas 1184 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: is two solid outside cornerbacks Byron Jones and hidobe A Woozy. 1185 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 1: He needs volume to cobble together a decent game, but 1186 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd could get there. And I'm giving him a 1187 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 1: C grade for this game. Let's flip it over to 1188 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: the Dallas side. Can you start z Heck? Yeah you can, 1189 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 1: even if he's only going to get half of the 1190 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 1: work and Tony Pollard earned by the way through great 1191 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: preseason play. I think Tony Pollard earned half of the 1192 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,479 Speaker 1: work in this game, and I think he gets half. 1193 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 1: You don't believe the rep even if it's twenty five reps. 1194 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 1: They could all be snaps, or they probably they probably 1195 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: touches the probably know right, or half of them could 1196 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: be touches. Give me twelve to fifteen touches for Zeke 1197 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: and I will give you an A grade. And here's why. 1198 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 1: The Giants defense, oh my, they allowed an opposing runner 1199 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 1: to either score or post one hundred or more yards 1200 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 1: rushing and receiving in fifteen of their sixteen games last year, 1201 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 1: and they lost Landon Collins and Olivier Vernon. This could 1202 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: be the NFL's worst defense the Giants. I think Zeke 1203 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: doesn't need more than about ten twelve fifteen touches to 1204 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 1: end up with a very meaningful game. And if there 1205 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 1: are any goal line carries to be had, they ain't 1206 01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 1: going to Tony Pollard. So you're predicting for Zeke twelve 1207 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 1: carries about four hundred fifty yards and eight touchdowns. Yeah, 1208 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: that's exactly it. Yes, that is precisely yet, so let's 1209 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 1: go to Tony Pollard. Then I've still got a starting 1210 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: great on Pollard. I think Pollard could easily end up 1211 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: getting the same kind of twelve fifteen, eighteen sort of 1212 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: touches in this game. And honestly, as I mentioned earlier, 1213 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 1: look good in the preseason, and the Giants defense is 1214 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,480 Speaker 1: so bad that he could score from distance here. So 1215 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: see great and Tony Pollard. Let's go to the passing game. 1216 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 1: I love Dak Prescott in this matchup. Love it. He 1217 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: obliterated the Giants secondary in the regular season finale last year. 1218 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Three hundred eighties, seven passing yards, four touchdowns for Dak 1219 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Prescott last time these teams met, and that was in 1220 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 1: the regular season finale, So it's even recently at that 1221 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: he's playing motivated to this year. He's playing for money. 1222 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 1: You want, you can't argue with that no better motivated. Absolutely, Um, 1223 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, with zeke sub status up in the air, 1224 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know they without the game planned with 1225 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Zeke maybe being there maybe not. I think they had 1226 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,760 Speaker 1: a past heavy game plan in mind and they might 1227 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: even just keep to that. So I still like Dac 1228 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: a lot. A great for dak A Marie Cooper also 1229 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: gets an A. Um, you know, if you're gonna try 1230 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 1: to have to stop Zeke at the line of scrimmage, 1231 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: that'll free up A Marie Cooper's for some downfield shots. 1232 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: And he runs the majority of routes on the right 1233 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: side of the field, where he has a glorious matchup 1234 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: against rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker making his first ever start. 1235 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 1: So Amari Cooper should have a very good game here 1236 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: and at like Michael Gallup, who gets a B grade, 1237 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: he looked terrific in the preseason. Looks like he's ready 1238 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 1: to make that sophomore leap that a lot of elite 1239 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: receivers make. He'll work against Genora's Jenkins and everybody knows 1240 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:42,280 Speaker 1: the name Genorris Jakobs. They think he's good. He's not good. 1241 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: He gave up seven touchdowns in his coverage last year 1242 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:50,200 Speaker 1: and a passer rating of one nine gallops downfield prowess 1243 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 1: really only needs the one deep connection and I think 1244 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 1: it's coming. Let's go to our next matchup, Matt Cincinnati 1245 01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 1: taking on Seattle. You already made a case earlier in 1246 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,440 Speaker 1: this show against all odds to start Andy Dalton, and 1247 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you liked it, didn't you. Um No, I'm gonna give 1248 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd and a grade. Actually, man's the slot in 1249 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: former Rams coach Zack Taylor's new offense. That's the same 1250 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 1: role the Cooper Cup. Ad Cup went for six for 1251 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 1: nine and one in the first matchup against the Seahawks 1252 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 1: defense last year, had five catches in the second matchup 1253 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 1: and tore his a c L in the middle of 1254 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: that game. So it was it was. It was looking good. 1255 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor knows how to scheme the slot and with 1256 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,160 Speaker 1: a j Green out, Tyler Boyd looks to be in 1257 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 1: a good spot here, especially if they're in catchup mode. 1258 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is the only other Bengal that you need 1259 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,280 Speaker 1: to really mention. He gets a C grade. Only three 1260 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,720 Speaker 1: running backs top two hundred yards and scored against the 1261 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks last year. That was Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, and 1262 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. They're good. They're good. So was Joe Mixon, 1263 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: but seat only gave up eight rushing touchdowns to backs 1264 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: last year. Game script probably favors the Bengals needing to 1265 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: pass on this one, and g O should be in 1266 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 1: the mix for some targets as well. On the Seahawks side. 1267 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 1: A grade for Russell Wilson. The Bengals allowed the third 1268 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 1: most passing yards and the fifth most passing touchdowns last year. 1269 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, they yielded the second most rushing attempts to 1270 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback position to Tyler Lockett's getting an A grade. 1271 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Lockets scored on one of every five point seven targets 1272 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,919 Speaker 1: last year, which is insane. It's completely unsustainable, but he's 1273 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 1: basically the only healthy starting wide receiver. DK Metcalf and 1274 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 1: David Moore both might go, but are both dinged up. 1275 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 1: Lockett looks to run most of his rout side of 1276 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the slot this year. Last year, he caught twenty six 1277 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: of twenty nine targets from the slot had five touchdowns 1278 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 1: from the slot last year. Uh, let's talk about Chris Carson. 1279 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 1: He gets an A grade as well. Carson ended the 1280 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 1: season as the second best fantasy runner. From Week thirteen on. 1281 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 1: He led the NFL in rushing attempts over the final 1282 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: five weeks and the Seahawks beat Reporters keep talking about 1283 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 1: how Pete Carroll thinks he's the best pass catcher on 1284 01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 1: the team, About that he barely caught any passes last year, 1285 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,520 Speaker 1: But funny enough, Rashad Penny only caught five passes all 1286 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 1: last year. The Bengals have allowed the fourth most receiving 1287 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing runners. Chris Carson's in for 1288 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 1: a really good game here. I like him on a 1289 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: fanball a lot too. He's my number three ranked running 1290 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: back this week, Chris Carson. We're gonna talk about one 1291 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 1: more receiver. His name's Will dis Lee in a later segment. Okay, 1292 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 1: we'll come back to that in a moment. Uh Detroit 1293 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 1: takes on Arizona, Brian. We've already talked about a variety 1294 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 1: of Detroit players over the course of this show. But 1295 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 1: carry on. Johnson is my top ranked running back this week. 1296 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 1: I'll give him an a then thank you to give 1297 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: him a beat. Just why would you do that? Well, 1298 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 1: you already mentioned we're a little worried about c. J. 1299 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: Anderson stealing some carries. No, no, no, there's there's plenty 1300 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: to go around. Yeah, I'm giving me carry on. The 1301 01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: Arizona allowed twenty rushing touchdowns for running backs last year. 1302 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 1: Ball I know I did. I said, ay, okay, okay, 1303 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 1: let's move on. Only two other teams allowed more than fifteen, 1304 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: by the way, um and thanks you, George. We all 1305 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 1: know Detroit wants to run the ball thirty plus times 1306 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 1: a game, like Darryl Bevil has been doing throughout his career. 1307 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,640 Speaker 1: Everything checks out on paper. They're little concerned. C. J. 1308 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: Anderson takes some work, Thy Jansen, Ty Johnson will uh 1309 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 1: mixing in third down, but carry on gets any moving on. 1310 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay Marvin Jones, I'm giving him a B. I 1311 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: love him both, but I just know who's gonna go off. 1312 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,600 Speaker 1: So but they're both very startable in this game. We 1313 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,679 Speaker 1: mentioned both starting corners are out, Pat Pete and Robert 1314 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 1: Alford Goaldy and Jones are just way bigger than these guys. 1315 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: Jones is available and probably two thirds of leagues and 1316 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 1: he's absolutely startable this week, definitely, And uh Danny Amndla 1317 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,400 Speaker 1: maybe he's a viable dart throw in PPR or a 1318 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: punt play in daily on fanball dot com if you 1319 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: choose to go for a minimum price. Wide receiver could 1320 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: factor him. But I got him gonna on the bench 1321 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 1: for the sake of redraft leagues as I do t J. 1322 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 1: Hockinson not even gonna start. Jesse James is listened as 1323 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,439 Speaker 1: the starter, So Hockinson owners are gonna have to be patient. 1324 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 1: He's on the bench this week. But Matt Stafford might 1325 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,240 Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback because that Arizona secondary 1326 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,720 Speaker 1: is just it's not what it should be over the 1327 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: Arizona side. David Johnson, I'm gonna give him a be 1328 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 1: but that might be generous. Uh, it's a borderline c 1329 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 1: So these teams have played. This will be the third 1330 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 1: straight year they've seen each other. And that's much to 1331 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,719 Speaker 1: the chagrin of David Johnson because in seventeen he broke 1332 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 1: his hand and missed the whole year. He broke in 1333 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: the opener. Last year, he had fifteen carries for forty 1334 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: nine yards and eight catches for twelve yards. Unbelievable. How 1335 01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,640 Speaker 1: do you get eight catches for twelve yards? That's it 1336 01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,759 Speaker 1: really is. Well, he and se Kwon Barkley could discuss, 1337 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, but anyway, it's all about Snacks Harrison acquired 1338 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: him last year. They were allowing before they acquired him, 1339 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: they were having six yards per carry. After they allowed 1340 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: less than four. So it's a tough matchup for DJ. 1341 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,959 Speaker 1: But you gotta startom by the way the Snacks Harrison 1342 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: trade for all, don't don't for all the things that 1343 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: Dave Gentleman has done wrong, and there's plenty. Giving up 1344 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 1: the best run stuffing defensive lineman for a fifth round 1345 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: pick is the dumbest of his career. God, would they 1346 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 1: love to have him back. That's saying something. That is 1347 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,400 Speaker 1: saying a lot and made some That's Brian just his 1348 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 1: his mood went from up here to like under the floor. 1349 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 1: Hurt Brian. I'm sorry interrupted continue. Larry Fitzgerald didn't give 1350 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: him a b I want fresh legs fit see in 1351 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 1: my line up this week? Uh. He only just a 1352 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 1: slot corner for Detroit. Justin Coleman concedes just four inches 1353 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,760 Speaker 1: and forty pounds on Larry Fitzgerald and Darius Lay. He 1354 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: has the same size advantage, probably won't travel to the 1355 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 1: slot anyway, So Fitzgerald gets a B. Probably an A 1356 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 1: grade almost, but I'll stick with the B. Christian Kirk, 1357 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,400 Speaker 1: though he's on the bench, he will see Darius Slay 1358 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: and his usage in the preseason has been kind of peculiar. 1359 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,840 Speaker 1: He hasn't I've seen a lot of snaps alongside Kyler Murray, 1360 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: so you gotta wait and see what we have with Kirk. 1361 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,080 Speaker 1: I would not start him this week. And then speaking 1362 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, he just gets to see this week 1363 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 1: and the Lions. They did allow multiple touchdown passes to 1364 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 1: ten of sixteen quarterbacks last but only Deshon Kaiser was 1365 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 1: able to crack twenty rushing yards and that was in 1366 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 1: Week seventeen. So you're probably thinking they didn't face any 1367 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks though, right, Mitch Rubiski, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, 1368 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, They're all those are all mobile 1369 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,599 Speaker 1: quarterback and they all were held under twenty rushing yards 1370 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,680 Speaker 1: Kyler and people were freaking out preseason one Kyler Murray game, 1371 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 1: if he does that, it's possible. I'm worried. Yeah, it's 1372 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: it's this might be. At the time, they just wait 1373 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 1: kicked back and wait on Kyler Murray and then he 1374 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 1: gets Baltimore next week the Baltimore and then you trade 1375 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,080 Speaker 1: for him because somebody's gonna be very frustrated with Kyler 1376 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 1: Murray potentially. All right, let's go to San Francisco and 1377 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in our final matchup of this particular segment. 1378 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,600 Speaker 1: George kill is an obvious A and I'm not going 1379 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on him. But let's 1380 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,640 Speaker 1: go to the rest of the passing game led by 1381 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. It's his first regular season game since his 1382 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,680 Speaker 1: eight c L tear. You mix that together with a 1383 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 1: wildly and consistent preseason, Mix that together with all the 1384 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 1: turmoil at the wide receiver position for the nine years 1385 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,719 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and I don't sounds like quite a cocktail. 1386 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that you can start Garoppolo here. I've 1387 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 1: got a C grade on him only because the matchup 1388 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: with Tampa is pretty compelling, and George Kittle alone makes 1389 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,719 Speaker 1: Garoppolo I think startable, But that's only at a C level. 1390 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,439 Speaker 1: Dante Pettis U is now no longer on the injury reports, 1391 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 1: so that's good news there, and each of his last 1392 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: six games of last year, Pettis saw no less than 1393 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 1: five targets, and he scored four times in those six games, 1394 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,680 Speaker 1: and that includes the Week twelve match up with this 1395 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:33,759 Speaker 1: very opponent, the Bucks, in which he's put up seventy 1396 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 1: seven yards in a touchdown. Now, inexplicably, Tampa is trotting 1397 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:44,599 Speaker 1: out last year's triumvirate of cornerbacking incompetence, including Carlton Davis, 1398 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 1: who Pettis burned for his score last year. If I 1399 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,360 Speaker 1: felt better about Garoppolo, Dante Pettis would be an A grade, 1400 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,800 Speaker 1: but instead I've got a C grade on him, just 1401 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,800 Speaker 1: because it's Garoppolo's first game. Back then to the running game, Yes, 1402 01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 1: you find a peculiar This game starts at three fifteen 1403 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Central by the four Eastern a little bit. Yeah, although 1404 01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: maybe it's just for the San Francisco fan base who 1405 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,360 Speaker 1: will just be Caroline are playing. I don't have an 1406 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 1: answer for that writing game. Tevin Coleman has got a 1407 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,000 Speaker 1: nice opportunity here, and so does Matt Brita. I've got 1408 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 1: B grades on both guys because Tampa allowed the most 1409 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,559 Speaker 1: running back touchdowns last year and they're without elite run 1410 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: stuffing defensive lineman Gerald McCoy, who they let walk Tampa 1411 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 1: also allowed a touchdown and or one hundred rushing yards 1412 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 1: to a back in all seven of their last games 1413 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: to end last year. Tevin Coleman also has had a 1414 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: lot of personal success well with the Falcons against the Bucks, 1415 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: scoring four times in his last three games against them. 1416 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,760 Speaker 1: So I like Coleman. But here's the catch. Breed is 1417 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,320 Speaker 1: there too, and when healthy, he's just playing better than 1418 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: Coleman at his position. And I'm giving him a B 1419 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 1: grade because I think for all the same reasons I 1420 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 1: like Coleman, I'm gonna like Brida, and I think Breed 1421 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 1: is a better back. So take that. Take it next. 1422 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Let's go to the Tampa side, 1423 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 1: now led by Bruce Arians. I would feel better about 1424 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: all of them if the offensive line wasn't brutal for 1425 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,599 Speaker 1: the Bucks, and it looked terrible in the preseason. I'm 1426 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,600 Speaker 1: nervous about that part of it. Still. Mike evans Is 1427 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 1: does get an A grade here, and in obvious a 1428 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 1: grade that does not does not need a lot of 1429 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 1: uh of explanation. But let's note this. He is battling 1430 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: illness and his listit is questionable as we look at 1431 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the passing game. Let's go to Jamis Winston. 1432 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:28,120 Speaker 1: I love the upgraded head coach to Bruce arians Um, 1433 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: but the Niners are dramatically improved defensive line in the 1434 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 1: off season, particularly their acquisition of DeFord. They put a 1435 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 1: pick into first round pick into Nick Bossa, who I 1436 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,520 Speaker 1: think is going to play in this game at least situationally, 1437 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: assuming his his ankle is all right. Winston has a 1438 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,640 Speaker 1: positive matchups all over the field, including Mike Evans, who 1439 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, but also Chris Godwin who gets a 1440 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: B grade. De Sean Jackson and Adam Humphreys left one 1441 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: hundred seventy four vacant targets available for Godwin to soak up, 1442 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: and he'll run from the slot where he draws Kwan Williams, 1443 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 1: who in proved dramatically over the course of last year. 1444 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:08,320 Speaker 1: But Godwin has a sizeable size advantage of four inches 1445 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 1: and twenty five pounds on Williams and might be able 1446 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 1: to use that to get to some space. Be great 1447 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 1: and Godwin and O. J. Howard also the B grade. 1448 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 1: All those vacant targets I mentioned earlier also helped O. J. 1449 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 1: Howard here um he was terrific before injury ended his 1450 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,760 Speaker 1: season in Week eleven last year and should pick up 1451 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 1: right where he left off. Bruce Arians doesn't have the 1452 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 1: history with the tight end at all, but I don't 1453 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 1: think it matters. I mean, O. J. Howard's really good 1454 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,599 Speaker 1: and Bruce Arians never really had great tight ends. Well, 1455 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,760 Speaker 1: if you look back to Heath Miller in Pittsburgh, he 1456 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: Miller had a fantasy viable career. So say Evans is 1457 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,400 Speaker 1: actually too sick to play, I think you gotta go 1458 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 1: add Breshad Perryman and you start him with confidence. Yeah 1459 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 1: if if well, if you can almost start, think you 1460 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 1: can ever started with no Well, but let me just 1461 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 1: mention this as well. Peyton Barber a nice, potentially nice matchup. 1462 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 1: He scored in four the last six games last year, 1463 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 1: and the Niners allowed a rushing score in each of 1464 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,799 Speaker 1: the last six games last year. But the Tampa offensive 1465 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: line guys are just not convinced they can do enough 1466 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:05,880 Speaker 1: to help Barber here, and I've just got a C 1467 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 1: grade on him. Our final topics are ahead. When we 1468 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: provide you with three guys we will believe, we believe 1469 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: will be the hot waiver wire pickups next week. These 1470 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 1: are the guys you want to pick up This week, 1471 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 1: Whether you're ready for it or not, Premature Speculation is 1472 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:42,000 Speaker 1: coming your way. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy 1473 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Premature Speculation might be the most popular segment 1474 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 1: on the entire show, where we identify three players we 1475 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 1: think that are available in the waiver wire you should 1476 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,719 Speaker 1: pick up now before everybody else who wants him. Next week, 1477 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 1: I begin with Brian Johnson. Who is your pre spec 1478 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 1: guy this week? Tampa Bay running back Dare Ogun, one 1479 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 1: of the fantasy gyms that has emerged from the preseason. 1480 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 1: Ogun bally will open the season, is Tampa Bay's third 1481 01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: down back, and as we all know, Tampa Bay is 1482 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 1: going to be playing from behind a lot um. Favorable 1483 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 1: game scripts are in the future, and it's very feasibly 1484 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: eats into the carries of the very average Peyton Barber 1485 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 1: and vastly inferior Ronald Jones. Alright, Matt, who's your guy? 1486 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,759 Speaker 1: Will dis Lee of the Seattle Seahawks. No one's healthy 1487 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 1: in Seattle, just Tyler Lockett and Will Disley. After targeting 1488 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: lock at twenty five times, Wilson will have to go 1489 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: to dis Ley at some point. Uh dis Lee took 1490 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: the league by storm last season with three for one 1491 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: oh five and one in Week one. Scored again in 1492 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 1: Week two, then missed the rest of the season with 1493 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 1: a knee injury. He's back, He's healthy. It's will dis 1494 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 1: Lee my premature speculation back is is also a third 1495 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,559 Speaker 1: down back. Like Brian mentioned don Trelle Hilliard. Everybody wants 1496 01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: a part of the Browns offense. Here's your chance to 1497 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: get be get this year's version of guts of not 1498 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: Gus Johnson Edwards, not Gus Edwards, Duke Johnson. Last year's 1499 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson roll in Cleveland is now Dontrelle Hilliard and 1500 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,759 Speaker 1: if anything were to happen to Nick Chubb, Trell Hilliard 1501 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,679 Speaker 1: my premature speculation player. Let's get back to our matchups, 1502 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: beginning with Pittsburgh taking on the New England Patriots. James 1503 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: Conner gets an A grade. He's looked like the full 1504 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 1: time bell cow back in Pittsburgh a camp, taking almost 1505 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,799 Speaker 1: every snap with the first teamers and the Patriots Achilles 1506 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 1: Heal his past catching running backs, they were bottom ten 1507 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and receiving yards allowed and receptions to opposing running backs. 1508 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 1: Connor had five or more receptions and six of thirteen 1509 01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,720 Speaker 1: games last year. Big Ben's getting an A. Uh. He's 1510 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 1: thrown for three d plus and multiple scores in eight 1511 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 1: straight games against New England. That's crazy awesome stat from 1512 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: Evan Silva to No. Eight team played more manned defense 1513 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: than Bill Belichick's Patriots. Sports Info solution credit had Ben 1514 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 1: with thirty five to ten touchdown to interception racy against 1515 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,759 Speaker 1: man versus thirteen to fifteen against zone. So he likes 1516 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 1: the man defense, So the Pats play a lot of man. 1517 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,719 Speaker 1: That means uh. Pro Football Focus is top rated corner 1518 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 1: from eighteen Stephon Gilmore. It's probably playing jujuice, so I 1519 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 1: only gave him a C. Yeah, if they held him 1520 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: to four catches for forty yards last year on ten targets, uh. 1521 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Juju saw double digit targets in six of the last 1522 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,960 Speaker 1: seven games in eighteen. Even if if Gilmore doesn't follow him, 1523 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: he gets j C. Jackson or Jason mccordy. Those guys 1524 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,640 Speaker 1: are both really good too, um, and that's why I 1525 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: have Dante montcrieff and James Washington on the bench. Vance McDonald, 1526 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm giving a B grade too, though McDonald finished as 1527 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,760 Speaker 1: a top twelve tight end while splitting snaps with Jesse 1528 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: James last year finished third in yards after the catch 1529 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 1: among tight ends, and if Jujus lockdown, Vance is the 1530 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: next best target on the team. He did score in 1531 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 1: the meeting last year as well. On the Patriots side, 1532 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,639 Speaker 1: Tom Brady getting a C grade. Brady has been held 1533 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,599 Speaker 1: under three hundred yards in only one passing, scoring each 1534 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: of the last two matchups with Pittsburgh, and center David 1535 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Andrews is going to be out. The Pittsburgh defense is 1536 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,639 Speaker 1: a bit reborn too. It's not gonna be an easy 1537 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: matchup here, agreed Julian Edelman. I gotta B grade on 1538 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Edelman average nine targets, six catches and seventy one yards 1539 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 1: in games where Josh Gordon also played last year, and 1540 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 1: he's had at least seven catches in each of his 1541 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,160 Speaker 1: last four meetings with Pittsburgh and topped ninety yards and 1542 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 1: three of those four. Josh Gordon, I'm only given a 1543 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: CEE though he's more of a dart throw. We don't 1544 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,600 Speaker 1: quite know how he's gonna be. Came into camp a 1545 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 1: little bit late, didn't see many snaps with the preseason team. 1546 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 1: Uh Sony Michelle and James White. They're the running backs 1547 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,680 Speaker 1: on that team. They're both get Now those are the 1548 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,679 Speaker 1: only two. Yeah, they're both getting. They're both getting C grades. 1549 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 1: It's possible that both of these guys return numbers in 1550 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: a given week. But this matchup sucks. Uh White lad 1551 01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 1: the team in targets last year. He was bottled up 1552 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 1: in the game against them. He had seven targets but 1553 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 1: only five catches for twenty five yards. The Steelers allowed 1554 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,880 Speaker 1: the second fewest reception to opposing backs last year and 1555 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,080 Speaker 1: an average of only thirty two yards per game through 1556 01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 1: the air to opposing backs. Sony Michelle ran the ball 1557 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: for fifty nine scoreless yards in the prior matchup last year, 1558 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,000 Speaker 1: and the Steelers held opposing runners to the seventh fewest 1559 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,640 Speaker 1: rushing yards last year. They're good defense. It's gonna be 1560 01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,599 Speaker 1: tough for them. They added Devin Bush in the middle right, 1561 01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: so that's gonna make it all that much more difficult. 1562 01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:25,679 Speaker 1: I believe Brian Houston taking on New Orleans has feels 1563 01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 1: like a lot of potential fantasy starters here. Yeah, we'll 1564 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 1: start with the running game for Houston. Duke Johnson gets 1565 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,719 Speaker 1: to see New Orleans gave up the second fewest rushing 1566 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 1: attempts and the fewest rushing yards last season, only three 1567 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,120 Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. That's pretty brutal, but the 1568 01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:41,760 Speaker 1: defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is doubtful to play. That's a 1569 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,200 Speaker 1: plus for Duke, and the Saints did allow the second 1570 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 1: most receiving touchdowns for running back, so he gets to 1571 01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,880 Speaker 1: see DeAndre Hopkins gets in a duh, but he is 1572 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,559 Speaker 1: shadowed by Marshall. He will be shadowed by Marshawn Latimer, 1573 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 1: who suffocated in coverage as a rookie. Struggled at times 1574 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,920 Speaker 1: last year though, so either way, this will be a 1575 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 1: tough matchup for him. The premier wide receiver cornerback matchup 1576 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,639 Speaker 1: of the week A good one to watch. I got 1577 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 1: all the other receivers on the bench, Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, 1578 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: ki Qt. Fuller's coming off the a c L. You 1579 01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 1: really want to see what you got there with those guys. 1580 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,639 Speaker 1: The floor is way too low for with all three, 1581 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 1: so we're on the bench. Deshaun Watson, I'll give him 1582 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,600 Speaker 1: a B. I'm really nervous about this front seven and 1583 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,200 Speaker 1: that offensive line despite the trade for learning Mee Tunsil. 1584 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,759 Speaker 1: He's just he's pretty new to the team and Uh, 1585 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,680 Speaker 1: Watson's gonna be running for his life. But he has 1586 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,240 Speaker 1: his legs, he has Hopkins. You're gonna start him. I'll 1587 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: give him a B borderline c though over the New 1588 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 1: Orleans Side album. Kamara just to be here. Very tough matchup. 1589 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 1: Houston did not allow more than eighty two rushing yards 1590 01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 1: to any running back last season. They also surrendered the 1591 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 1: second I'm sorry in Additionally, two opposing running backs cracked 1592 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,799 Speaker 1: forty receiving yards against the Texans all year class season. 1593 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 1: So not a great spot for Kamara. But you're definitely 1594 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,639 Speaker 1: gonna bench bench him. And for those reasons, I have 1595 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: Latavius Murray on the bench. He'll be started with in 1596 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:57,840 Speaker 1: most weeks. He'll be flex. He'll have some flex appeal, 1597 01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 1: but the Saint it not this week. Michael Thomas though, 1598 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 1: who Yeah, I'm gonna give him the fantasy FANSI to 1599 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:07,280 Speaker 1: a He'll see a mixture of Bradley Roby and Jonathan 1600 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 1: Joseph and coverage. Roby underachieved as a starter with the 1601 01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 1: Broncos last year, allowing a hundred and sixteen quarterback rating 1602 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 1: in his coverage. Jonathan Joseph is just old. This is 1603 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,200 Speaker 1: the thirteenth year in the league. Thomas is gonna go 1604 01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 1: off big time. He has to be your number one 1605 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver. I would imagine this week or you know 1606 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 1: he is. I think yes, he is number one. And 1607 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,680 Speaker 1: Jared Cook he gets an A as well. Last year, 1608 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 1: the Texans allowed the second most tight end yards and 1609 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,680 Speaker 1: the third most tight end touchdowns. Drew Brees has not 1610 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,559 Speaker 1: had a good tight end since Jimmy Graham. Sorry, Kobe Fleaner, 1611 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: remember whenever it was so hot for cold Innermobile oh 1612 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 1: Man and Drew Brees. The between Jared Cook and Michael Thomas, 1613 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 1: and of course Album Kamara. He gets an A grade. 1614 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 1: This is gonna this is a great spot for him, 1615 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:55,559 Speaker 1: all right. I get the spectacle Denver Oakland, Antonio Brown. 1616 01:23:55,880 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 1: This is the game everyone wants to watch now, Yeah, 1617 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,719 Speaker 1: it on Monday Night. Is the second of the two games. 1618 01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: We begin with the passing game. Joe Flacco with a 1619 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: B grade, which says a lot. But here's your Raiders 1620 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:14,280 Speaker 1: in organizational disarray, their secondaries influx, they get zero pressure 1621 01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 1: on quarterbacks, and they allowed the most passing touchdowns last year. 1622 01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,600 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco B grade. Emmanuel Sanders goes along with that 1623 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 1: for a B grade. He'll work out of the slot, 1624 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 1: where he'll face LaMarcus Joiner, former free safety with very 1625 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 1: little game experience at cornerback. I like him. I like 1626 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton. Most often, he'll face returning cornerback Darryl Worley, 1627 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 1: who surrendered five scores a season ago that was the 1628 01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 1: fourth most of any cornerback. And Sun's got a huge 1629 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 1: size advantage over Worly, with a delta of four inches 1630 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 1: and twenty pounds over Worly. I think Sutton can use 1631 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,400 Speaker 1: that to his advantage. So we'll start those two. Let's 1632 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: go to the running game. You guys know I feel 1633 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: about Philip Lindsay. I love him, and he faces a 1634 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Denver run defense that gave up one nineteen rushing yard 1635 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 1: per game last year's second most, including one hundred seven 1636 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: to Philip Lindsay last year and almost eight yards per carry. Look, 1637 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 1: I know everybody's all hot for Royce Freeman, and they 1638 01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 1: really want Royce Freeman to go win this thing and 1639 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,280 Speaker 1: go dethrown Philip Lindsay. Not me, not even remotely interested. 1640 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Lindsay more like lukewarm for Freeman. 1641 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: Can't bet there are people that are very hot for 1642 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 1: for Freeman. I'm giving Freeman a C grade in this 1643 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: one to Lindsay by the way of B grade if 1644 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,800 Speaker 1: I didn't say it out right, I'm giving Freeman a 1645 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,360 Speaker 1: C grade just because there should be plenty of touches 1646 01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 1: to go around against an Oakland team that gave up 1647 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,559 Speaker 1: the second most rushing yards, third most rushing attempts per game, 1648 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,040 Speaker 1: so I think, and by the way, almost five yards 1649 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 1: per carry. So I think Freeman could still get something 1650 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,400 Speaker 1: done here even if Lindsay does get most of the work, 1651 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,640 Speaker 1: which he should get most of the work. Let's go 1652 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: to the Oakland side. I'm gonna save the worst for last. 1653 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: Start with the running game, Josh Jacobs. The Broncos gave 1654 01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: up the fourth most rushing attempts and the sixth most 1655 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,360 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game to a posing running backs, and 1656 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: last year these same Broncos love three different raiders backs 1657 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: to score Marshaw Lynch, Jalen Richard and Doug Doug Martin 1658 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 1: and Martin and over one hundred yards. So I think 1659 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 1: you can start Josh Jacobs with a certain amount of 1660 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,560 Speaker 1: confidence here. Don't like the offensive line, don't like the 1661 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 1: rest of the offense, and all the other things, all 1662 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: the other chaos, but man running the ball would solve 1663 01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 1: a lot of problems for these Raiders, and they're gonna try. 1664 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: I think the Raiders do not score a touchdown in 1665 01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:29,759 Speaker 1: this game. That's it's not even a bold prediction of Waller. 1666 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 1: What about Darren Waller? Waller probably catch Jacobs, all right, 1667 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: So let's just go right to Darren Waller. So crazy athlete, 1668 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 1: enormous size four or five speed. He walks into the 1669 01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 1: cleats of Jared Cook, who posted a career year in 1670 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: Oakland last season. The Broncos gave up the seventh most 1671 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: yards to tight ends last year. But here comes Vic Fangio. 1672 01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,400 Speaker 1: I think he's going to shore that up and they'll 1673 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 1: they won't be as leaky to tight ends. But I 1674 01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 1: still have a B grade to Darren Waller, and I 1675 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 1: think he's as likely as anybody to lead the team 1676 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: even targets and receptions. How does that feel, Brian? Are 1677 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: you loving that? Alright? Good? Now, let's go to the 1678 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:12,360 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Antonio Brown expected to play um, although there's 1679 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 1: far too many hours between now and Monday, honestly to 1680 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 1: know for sure if he's gonna make it to Monday 1681 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 1: as a starter, but as of this moment, we think 1682 01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna play as a human. I don't expect Brown 1683 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,560 Speaker 1: to have anywhere close to full snap count Oaks. He 1684 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: missed so much time in the preseason and a brand 1685 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,160 Speaker 1: new team has no real chemistry and timing with the 1686 01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 1: rest of this offense. I think it's limited snaps for 1687 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,240 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. And when he's on the field, I think 1688 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 1: he gets shadowed by outstanding cornerback Chris Harris. So I 1689 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 1: pour all that together and I got barely a C 1690 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,400 Speaker 1: grade on Antonio Brown only out of respect for his 1691 01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:48,719 Speaker 1: past accomplishments. He could just put him on the bench. 1692 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,200 Speaker 1: Tyrolle Williams is the only guy I want to mention 1693 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown likely to only have those I think. 1694 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:59,320 Speaker 1: I think somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty plays or less, 1695 01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 1: f Antonio own Tyroll Williams becomes the go to wide receiver. 1696 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,240 Speaker 1: But now they get the problem is when he's on 1697 01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: the field, maybe Chris Harris, you know, follows him around, 1698 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 1: and that wouldn't be great either. So I roll out 1699 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:12,600 Speaker 1: all together. I gotta see grade on Tyroll Williams. Maybe 1700 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 1: because Oakland just falls behind by so much so early, 1701 01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:16,800 Speaker 1: they throw the ball a lot, and you just get 1702 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,840 Speaker 1: get garbage time out of Tyroll Williams. That's probably your 1703 01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 1: best case scenario, everybody.
