Speaker 1: HELI talking to you? Yeah, thank you. That's your tribute

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: to Christian Peterson. It's not here, uh this week. He

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: was here last week and he did a great He

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: did a B plus job last week. No, I thought

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: he did a solid be job, enough solid job. May

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I should rephrase that that you want to go, I'm

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna change that to see job. I don't know if

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: you want to say that either an A job. I

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: can't call it enough job because God only knows what

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna mean the courts of today. I think if

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: you couldn't use plus would have this problem? Would I

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the course of today, We're gonna break down every game

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy style. We don't tell you which team is gonna win,

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: where we tell you which players will help your team win.

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: You'll hear letter grades for every meaningful Fantasy player irrationale

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: for why we feel that way, so you can make

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: your own decisions. We'll answer three tough questions over the

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: course of the show. We'll give you nine different players

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: upon whom you can take a chance, and we'll jump

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: into a time machine to identify the players that you

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: want to pick up this week that everybody is gonna

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: be hot to pick up next week. Last week, speaking

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: of Christian Peterson, he gave us Deonte Johnson and UM

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: News coming out with the latter part of this week

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: that uh, it looks like he's going to be the

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: starter going forward after practice today. I think that's gonna

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: be a good It's gonna be a good move for

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: him and his owners. Let's jump into our matchups, beginning

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: with Detroit taking on Philadelphia. This is kind of kind

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: of a hairy one. Now we know Detroit is supposed

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: to be a run first team, and they said in

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: the obviously don't want to run first team, but they

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: keep getting all these matchups that are tough against the

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: run and easy against the past. Yeah. Do you like

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: this as another good Matt Stafford outing? Yeah, it's it's

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: just like you said. The Eagles have allowed three twenty

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns to the likes of Case Keenum

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan and back to back weeks, which basically

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: has landed them fifth worst against fantasy quarterbacks. They're allowing

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: the second most points against in the NFL. Right now,

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a good spot for Matthew Stafford. He has

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and he's averaging three fifteen yards a game.

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: I got an A grade on him. I think the

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: past is gonna be good again. Yeah, you know, back

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: end of the kyp Ones there. Although I can only

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: imagine what you think about Kenny Golladay. How many pluses

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: can I use? None? You can use no pluses? But

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: feel free to give him an A Okay, well, uh,

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: he I guess I'll give him an A plus. How

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: many How many a's do you want to give him? Yeah?

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Given a I think it's so many a's from me. Uh.

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: It's been two games, three different receivers have topped a

62
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards and five different wide receiver tight ends have

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: scored against the Eagles. They're just giving it up all

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: over the field in the receiving game, and Golladay is

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the guy. Uh I just got an A grade on him,

66
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Like like Julio Jones last week. The size deferential between

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: him and Ronald Darby. Darby would have to stand on

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: his own shoulder to reach baby tron Yeah, and uh yeah,

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I can't Golladay at six four, They're kind of an

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: aj green frame to him. I give Marvin Jones a

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: B for similar reasons. And the number two wide receivers

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: like Calvin Ridley, great game, we get great games against them.

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Give him a B grade. I'm keeping Himandola on the

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: bench just because he gave us nothing last week. I

75
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: think he's going to be very hit and missed this season.

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: I would trust Hawkinson a little bit more. I know

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that he only had one catcher seven yards, and I

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: know that the Eagles um the Eagles have been pretty

79
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: good against height ends. They but they did give up

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: four receptions to Vernon Davis four receptions to Hooper Vernon scored.

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I think Hawkinson is gonna improve, but I think last

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: night last week was a good reminder that he's still

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a rookie tight end. I do give him a C

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: grade here, though I think he's going to get involved

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: just enough. Uh into the running game here, carry on Johnson.

86
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually given a B grade too. It's it's a

87
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: really hesitant B grade. But the Lions runners are touching

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: the ball still thirty times a game. Uh. They just

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: got rid of C. J. Anderson. Uh, Perkins is probably

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: not going to play much if anything. Ty Johnson might

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: get involved here, Um, but I'm going with carry on Johnson.

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles having allowed a runner over thirty two yards

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: yet this season, but they're giving up seventy yards per

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: game in the air to backs and carry on Johnson

95
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: is pretty okay there, So UH be grade for carry

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: on all. Right over to the Eagle side, I'm giving

97
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wants a B grade. The lines are allowing over

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: three yards per game to quarterbacks and part of that

99
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: is due to pace. Um. They have allowed the most

100
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: pass attempts in the NFL and play and they have

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the most past attempts against them. Yes, yes, Uh. Despite

102
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: those yards, they've only given up two touchdowns and just

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: eighteen points per game the lines have so I'm I'm talking,

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking once a little bit there because the Detroit

105
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: lines are giving up a lot, but they're not giving

106
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: up points. Yeah, so B grade there Alshan Jeffrey. At

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: this point, they're saying he'll play, but he was He

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: did not practice on the Friday practice report. Yeah it

109
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't practice all week. Yeah you know, I know the

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: reports suggesting is going to play. But nine times out

111
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: of ten if you don't practice, how many times out

112
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: of ten times? If you don't practice all week, you

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: don't play. So I consider Jeffrey to be a game

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: time decision for sure. Here's how I'm playing it. I'm

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: giving a B grade to the starter if it's Jeffrey,

116
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: or I'm giving the big I feel like if he goes,

117
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: if Jeffrey is able to go, they're trusting him enough

118
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: to is gonna start you the way and I'll probably yeah,

119
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: but Sean Jackson's definitely right. But if Jeffrey goes, I

120
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: have less faith than Agil. We're talking about a guy

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: who with double digit touch touches, double digit targets, has

122
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: had like thirty three yard games and sixty yard games, Like, uh,

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: if he's not going to get major targets, I'm a

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: little bit out on him. Hollands Artago Whiteside on the

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: bench for me. Zach Ertz. I'm given an a to

126
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. The thing about we were worried about two

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: many mouths to feed all those at bunch of those

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: mouths are sore right now, that's right, Dallas Goddard's mouth.

129
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: Very sorry, so sorry. Not expected to play. Actually he

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: came up with the same report with Jeffrey that they

131
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: think he might know. I'm with you, though I don't.

132
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he plays. Uh. It's twenty three targets

133
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: in the last two games. The Lions have been untested.

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: So far, They've just played Max Williams and Charles Cray

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: and Virgil Green. This is the first first one they're

136
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: gonna have to face. I think a grade here in

137
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the running game. You know me and Jordan Howard. I'll

138
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: never give him a good grade. I have him on

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: the bench. I have Miles Sanders with a C kind

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: of I don't even like that. But the Lions are

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: middle of the middle of the road against the rushing

142
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: game and fourth worst against running backs in the passing game,

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: so that that could spell a little for Sanders or

144
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: maybe even Sprawls. The Lions are allowing a hundred seventy

145
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: one total yards per game to running backs, which is

146
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the fifth most, So I have to at least give

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Sanders a little bit of a C grade here. Yeah,

148
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: disappointed Darren Sprowles couldn't get anything going last week. Matt,

149
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: let's go to Denver taking on green Bay? Yeah, slets.

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco hasn't been able to get a lot going

151
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: in this offensive than Emmanuel Sanders. What do you think

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: happens here against what appears to be an improved green

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Bay defense? You know what, my phone auto corrects Flacco too,

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: and this is true. Flaccid, flaccid. I've run into this

155
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: and that's exactly Yes. I don't want any part of him.

156
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: And I just really don't even want any part of

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders here. He should get the Gyar Alexander shadow coverage.

158
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: He's only allowing thirty seven point five percent completion in

159
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: his coverage this year, so I don't like that at all.

160
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: And then there's the running game. Royce Freeman and Philip

161
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: lindsay it's been like a fifty fifty split. Last week,

162
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Freeman had sixteen touches of the snaps. Lindsay had seventeen

163
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: touches the snaps. They've run the equal amount of pass

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: routes this season, and the Packers have a weakness. It's

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: two pass catching running backs right now. They both had

166
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: seven targets last week. Right, Yeah, it's but so it's

167
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: a complete split. So I can't start either of them.

168
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I got both of these guys on the bench until

169
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: one of them gets hurt. Hopefully it clears up the

170
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: waters here on the Packers side is just awesome. Anything

171
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: wrong with that? I wish I think, I think, don't

172
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: you think that it should have happened by now? What

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: did last year? On Aaron Jones gets a B grade.

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: He holds at least two thirds of the touches over

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, who vultured a touchdown last week. The Broncos

176
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: are allowing an average of over one five combined running

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: backyards and have given up three running back touchdowns and

178
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: the first two weeks. So Jones gets the beat. Yeah,

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: although I'll know Matt Lafleur Kim coming out this week

180
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: and saying he wants to try to even the time

181
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: between those two Why and we say cram it. La

182
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Fleur exactly. There's no reason for that. Jamal Williams stinks.

183
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Stop it. You know. Aaron Jones a damn good running back.

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: Stick with him. Uh. Aaron Rodgers UH is averaging two

185
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: six yards per game and has three touchdown passes in

186
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: two weeks. He's only getting a C grade for me.

187
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: The Broncos are still an above average pass defense, allowing

188
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: the second fewest pass yards this season, albeit to Derek

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Carr and Sad trombone Ski. So I'm still only given

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Rogers the sea though there it is. I am giving

191
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and a If anything's gonna get done through

192
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: the air, it's through Adams. He's had good success against

193
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Fangio's defenses when he was with the Bears. The average

194
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: yards per game over his last three matchups with Fangio's team.

195
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: He had seven catches for one oh six last week.

196
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: I think Adams is in a good spot, but I

197
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: am benching Geronimo Allison and m V S. Allison scored

198
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: last week, but basically threw up a goose egg in

199
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: the prior week. If Chris Harris stays on the left slide,

200
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: which which he often does, he lines up with Marquez

201
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling more than he lines up with Davante Adams,

202
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: So that's not a good matchup for either of those guys. No,

203
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: probably not. I don't like this game at all. I

204
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a very low scoring affair. I

205
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: tend to think you're right, and I think vic fan

206
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: Joe is gonna get that defense operating even better than

207
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: it has been that you're right that it hasn't been

208
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: great against the run. I think it'll be better. This

209
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: week Baltimore takes on Kansas City. This is the number

210
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: one scoring offense against the number four scoring offense. This

211
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: seems like it might be more of an offensive game.

212
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: It might be uh And by the way, the number

213
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: one team is in Kansas City, that's Baltimore. Let's talk

214
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: about the Baltimore side, beginning with Mark Ingram, who gets

215
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: an A grade. Leonard fo Nette and Josh Jacobs ran

216
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: for six point six yards per carry as the starters

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: against Kansas City so far, and the Chiefs, while they

218
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: havn't a lot of rushing touchdown, it's only because they've

219
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: staked these big leads and other teams haven't really punished.

220
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: I think through the ground That's not going to be

221
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: the case here, and I'll note that last year when

222
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: these teams met, Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon combined for

223
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: one hundred forty yards against Kansas City, mark ingram a grade.

224
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game, where Lamar Jackson gets

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: an A grade and is my top rated quarterback for

226
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: this week. The Chiefs have one of the slowest sets

227
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: of cornerbacks in the league, and here comes Marks Hollywood Brown.

228
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, I love that matchup. Plus Mark Andrews has

229
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: terrorized both of his opponents this year, and the Chiefs

230
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: have allowed the fifth most tight end yards this year,

231
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: fourth most tight end yards last year. A great opportunity

232
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: for both of them. So Lamar Jackson gets an A.

233
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: I just mentioned Marquis Brown with that speed mismatch, and

234
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: he'll face virtually no resistance from the slot, where I'll

235
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: square off against Kendall Fuller, one of the lead's worst

236
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: slot cornerbacks. Fuller has surrendered scores in each of the

237
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: first two games. Marquis Brown a grade in third ever

238
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: NFL game. Yes, how much do I like the passing game?

239
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Miles Boykin factoring in with a startable grade A and

240
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Wo draws a great matchup

241
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: against stone footed cornerback, but shod Brelan, who has already

242
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: allowed to touchdown in his coverage Boycin has four four speed.

243
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: Brillan is a four six cornerback. There are many four

244
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: six cornerbacks in the league. He's one of them. And

245
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, who I mentioned earlier, tight end A grade.

246
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: After two fantastic starts to the year, Let's go to

247
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: the Kansas City side. We'll begin with the passing game.

248
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes maintains an A grade, but this is a

249
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: trickier matchup than most, certainly more difficult without tackle Eric

250
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Fisher out with a groin injury. Mahomes faced these Ravens

251
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: last year, and if you just look at the box score,

252
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the three hundred seventy seven yards and

253
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns and think, you know what, it's gonna

254
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: be another great game for Patrick Mahomes. And it might be.

255
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: It's Patrick Mahomes and I do have an A grad

256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: it on him. But here's the thing. To get to

257
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: three seventy seven and two. Last year, he had to

258
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: throw the ball fifty three times. He's never come close

259
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: to a fifty three yard fifty three attempt passing game,

260
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: and Baltimore never gives that up. They give up an

261
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: average of thirty six attempts per game. So if we

262
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: dial Mahomes back into the thirties, I don't know that

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: he gets close to the three seventy seven and two

264
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: we had last time. But he's Patrick Mahomes and he

265
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: still might. And he's my number five rand quarterback for

266
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: the week. So you're still in obvious A grade. But

267
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to dial back from expectations here. Travis

268
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: Kelsey is an A grade A tight end because he's

269
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: the best tight end the league. And then let's talk

270
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: about the wide receivers where things get a little bit thornier.

271
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Beginning with Sammy Watkins. He had the DoD last week,

272
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: but did you know he collected thirteen targets last week?

273
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: It just didn't materialize into anything. No other Kansas City

274
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: receiver garnered more than six, and he's commanded a thirty

275
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: percent target share on the year. Well, how many of

276
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: those thirteen targets was Mahomes actually looking at him when

277
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: he threw the ball? I mean, as supposed to just

278
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: looking away look passes like he missed Travis Kelsey on

279
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the no look pass earlier this year. Um a cornerback

280
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: named Anthony Averit will be his most common matchup and

281
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: that is a mismatch against Sammy Watkins. Averit has speed,

282
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: but has a little more to contend with Watkins evorit's

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: very raw and young. I like Watkins with a B grade.

284
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: I have DeMarcus Robinson last week's start, also with a

285
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: B grade. He garnered four targets of twenty yards down

286
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: field last week. No Jimmy Smith in this secondary for

287
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore again, he'll face a raven secondary that was gashed

288
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: on deep balls by Arizona's receivers who hold in four

289
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: of five deep targets for a hundred fifty nine yards.

290
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: So I like him here. And then Nicole Hardman gets

291
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: a C grade. He is not being eased into this offense.

292
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: He's been on the field for fifty or more snaps

293
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: in both games. That's amazing for Hardman. He runs most

294
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: of his routes from the slot, where he's gonna face

295
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr, who is very good, allowing just twenty six

296
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: scoreless yards per game so far this year. So he

297
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: gets a C grade here, then let's go to the

298
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: running game where it's really harry for the Chiefs. Lashawn

299
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: McCoy's get this ankle injury. He's shaping up as a

300
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: game time decision. If he goes, I have a nervous

301
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: C grade on him. Limited today, limited on Friday. Yes,

302
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: And Baltimore ranks number one in rushing yards allowed, number

303
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: one in rushing yards per carry, number one in rushing attempts.

304
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: And if you think maybe the Kansas City Runners are

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna catch the ball a lot, Baltimore is allowed the

306
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: sixth fewest running back receiving yards and the fewest total

307
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: yards to running backs. So I mean it's all bad

308
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: for the running backs. And if McCoy is gonna be hobbled,

309
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: all I can do is maybe get him to a

310
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: C start here. Now McCoy doesn't go, You could try

311
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, You could try you know, maybe um Darwin Thompson.

312
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: But I just think the whole thing just smells to

313
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: me like avoid it in a really tough matchup. Agreed, Agreed,

314
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: it is Uh. It is a chance now to remind

336
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: I assure you, um, let's go to or take a chance.

337
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: I mean quarterbacks. These are three three quarterbacks that are

338
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: not normally in your starting lineup, each of whom we

339
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: believe is worthy of a start. This week. We begin

340
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: with Scott Fish. I am gonna go with Jimmy Garoppolo,

341
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: who I don't think will be Jimmy Garoppo blows this week?

342
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: Whoa I think that? Uh, I think that he's gonna

343
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: have a good game here that There's no wonder why

344
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: the Stewers went out and traded for a first for

345
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: Cafetes Patrick. They've been allowing three more yards and three

346
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: scores to opposing quarterbacks each of the first two weeks. Um.

347
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Although Jimmy G was held down in Week one that

348
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: was his first week back from injury, he rebounded the

349
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: next week with nearly three yards and three himself. The

350
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: four Nineers have scored thirty plus in each game there there,

351
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I believe the third highest scoring team in the league

352
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: at this point. Uh So, Jimmy G is my Matt

353
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: You take a chance for me quarterback. I've got Daniel Jones,

354
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: who might be a slight upgrade from what is the

355
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: squeaking right there? I mean, I don't know it. It

356
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: was kind of kind of joking. He's a flat upgrade.

357
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure that that was tongue in cheese.

358
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Whether or not he's an upgrade in the first ever

359
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: NFL start is the only question. Yeah. Well, so I

360
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: looked back and he's got a little bit of Josh

361
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Allen in him, meaning that he can run a little bit.

362
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: He averaged thirty six rushing yards per start and scored

363
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: on the ground seventeen times. And his three years of

364
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: duke obviously we saw the great numbers in the pre season.

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: He gets Sterling Shepherd back from the concussion protocol this week,

366
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: and he faced Tampa Right now, Tampa is the fifth

367
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: ranked fantasy defense against the quarterback over the first two weeks. Well,

368
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: they faced Jimmy g on his first game back from

369
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: an a c L and it injured Cam Newton. Daniel

370
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: Jones is probably better than both of those guys, at

371
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: least in their first start. Um, I'm not sure it's

372
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: that improved of a defense either. They were the defense

373
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: that allowed the third most passing touchdowns in the league

374
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: last year. Jones is gonna sling the ball. It's gonna

375
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. Let's let's go, let's play just

376
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: for the fun fact. Yeah, uh, I have the aforementioned

377
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen as might take a chance and quarterback going

378
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: up against Cincinnati's coming off his one maybe the best

379
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: game of his career, with real improvement in key areas,

380
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: particularly his pocket poise, his pocket accuracy, and you can

381
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: see real report being built with John Brown and Cole Beasley,

382
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: who have combined for thirty one targets in two games already,

383
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and another strong game coming against a sagging Cincinnati defense.

384
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: The Mangels else gave Jimmy Garoppolo the aforementioned Jimmy Garoppolo

385
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: his welcome back game, allowing him to row three yards

386
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: and three scores. The Bengals have a good pass rush

387
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: they ranked third in that category by Pro Football Focus,

388
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: but their coverage has been equally bad their third from

389
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: the bottom and pass coverage. If his offensive line can

390
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: give him a few clean pockets, Josh Allen only needs

391
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: a couple of deep connections for him to splatch, and

392
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I think he will. Let's go to the running back

393
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: position or take a chance on the runner, Scott, I'm

394
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna start with Tony Pollard of the Dallas Cowboys. Zeke

395
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: is obviously a smash a start this week. You'll find

396
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: out in a few minutes here. But that's just an

397
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: amazing matchup there. The Dolphins have allowed the most rushing attempts,

398
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: the most rushing yards, the most rushing touchdowns, the most

399
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns the running backs. Seems like there might be

400
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: some garbage time in the second most total touchdowns. They're

401
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna get up and Tony Pollard is probably gonna come

402
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: in and get some points for you. And he's he's

403
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: readily available in a decent amount of leagues. Now, if

404
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: you're playing salary cap at fan Ball, which we hope

405
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: is your prefer home for salary captain, Tony Pollard's like

406
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: you almost have to take him. He's like a free space, right.

407
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: It's a little too cute for me. I'd rather I'd

408
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: rather put some running backs that are going to get

409
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: the whole game. I'm embracing the cute. But he could

410
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: do in a half what other what other one against

411
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: Miami he could do in a half with other backs

412
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: would do in a full game. Well, my take a

413
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: chance of me running back is about to get the

414
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: full workload in a game, So might take a chance

415
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: of me quarterback as a rookie in his first game.

416
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Might take a chance to me. Running back is the

417
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: exact opposite. When he came into the league in two

418
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: thousand five, Gwen Stefani's Holla Back Girl was tops on

419
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: the charts and Grey's Anatomy was in season one. That's

420
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Devin Singletary has been ruled out and he

421
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: took who took the majority of the touches last game

422
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: after Singletary went away? It was Frank Gore twenty one touches.

423
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: In week two, mostly after Singletary went down. He did

424
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: have a goal line plunge for a score. You already illuminated.

425
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: How bad since his defenses, they're awful. They've allowed the

426
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: most total yards and the most scores to running back

427
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: so far this year. Frank Gore maybe in his last

428
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: smash spot of his career. I'm I think I have

429
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Franko ranked thirteenth at the running back position this week,

430
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: something I never thought would ever happen again. But he

431
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: just beats the odds. He does. I've got Carlos Hide

432
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: going up against the Chargers Chargers have any lead past.

433
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: It's just like last year. Elite past defense, elite passage.

434
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: If you want to beat the Chargers, you run at them.

435
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: They're giving up the fourth most rushing attempts for the

436
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: third most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs.

437
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: And here's an insanely resurgent Carlos Hide that. Nobody saw

438
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: it coming. He's piled up five point eight yards per carry.

439
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: He's getting fifteen carries a game. You had all that together,

440
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, sitting and get another good opportunity. I can't

441
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: do it. Fifth. I don't know, something like his fifth.

442
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: I want to say fifth team in two years, at

443
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: least fourth. He went from the forty nine, the Jaguars

444
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: and the Browns to the Yeah, something something to that effect. Anyway, Yeah,

445
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: um wow, Okay, we'll get to that after. Take a

446
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: chance on me. Minute, yes, okay, let's go to the

447
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Uh, and or tied down. I think

448
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: we've all got wide receivers this week, though. Take a

449
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: chance on me. I'm going completely off board here. Uh,

450
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: you have no idea where I'm going. I don't know

451
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: where you're going. I'm going with a deep, deeper cut

452
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals demure bird. He uh he has seven

453
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: targets in each of the last two weeks while playing

454
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: of the offensive snaps in Week one week two because

455
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: they play a ton of three and four wide there,

456
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: uh he had four. He had four to eight speed

457
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: coming out. Had showcased it a couple of times in

458
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: Carolina in the preseason and once during the regular season.

459
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: I remember um and revenge game against the Panthers deep cut.

460
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: I like it. It is a deep cut. Fantastic matt Ah.

461
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: This one's fun. I think this harkens back to John

462
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: Tuvey's days on Fantasy Football Weekly. The ultimate take a

463
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Chance to Me wide receiver Marvin Jones. I thought I

464
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: thought it was Mohammed sanuw was the biggest best hit

465
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: in the history of take a Chance. I take it back,

466
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: but I still missed two. Mohammed san New Senior is

467
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: my take a chance to me wide receiver. He's fourth

468
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL and snaps played from the slot at

469
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: eighty four point nine percent. Had a decent thirteen targets there.

470
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: He has five inches and fifty pounds on Colts slot

471
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: corner Kenny Moore, the second so it's a rare senior

472
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: versus junior matchup. Yes, the Colts gave up a big

473
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: day to Keenan Allen from the slot in Week one,

474
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: and the Colts operate a bend but don't break his

475
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: own past defense that forces high volume throws underneath. I

476
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: think that plays really well to Mohammed Sanu. It does.

477
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm using Mohamed Sanu Jr. As my take. He's like four, oh, no,

478
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: you're right. No, no, no, no, this this has turned

479
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: into one of my favorite take it chance on me

480
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: in well this year. Certainly Randall Cobb against the Dolphins

481
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: available incent of leagues. It goes out saying, there's a

482
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: ton of points that we had for for Dallas in

483
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: this game. It's just a matter of finding your spots.

484
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins have allowed five wide receiver touchdowns already five Michael

485
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Gallop out for the game. Marii Cooper draws. The only

486
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: good player on the entire Miami defense Avian Howard. So

487
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: the path of least resistance is Randall Cobb. Randall Cobbs

488
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: going up against something called Joe moal Wilts. Joe m

489
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: Wilts has allowed passing touchdowns. You don't say names like

490
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: that when I'm drinking of my my monster energy drink.

491
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Joemal Wilts has allowed passing touchdowns in both games and

492
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: a perfect passer rating in his coverage. I swear to god,

493
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: you're making up these names every week. Cop is second

494
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: in the He's gonna be on the field a ton

495
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: and he's got a gorgeous matchup. Randall Cobb is a

496
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: phenomenal play. Well, every every week you come up with

497
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: a quarterback name and it's just like some some gibberish word.

498
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: All right, you've probably heard us talking about Guillotine League's

499
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: the hottest new format in fantasy sports. Each week, the

500

Speaker 1: more matchups coming up next, and we'll talk to you

505
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: about the implications of Antonio Brown being released from the

506
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: Patriots and what that means for Tom Brady and the

507
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: rest of the Patriots, and will even breakdown that game

508
00:26:46,640 --> 00:27:09,399

Speaker 1: Radio app Miami takes on the Dallas Cowboys and what

516
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: should be a one sided affair. Scott and we've already

517
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: talked about some of the players that we like in

518
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: this matchup that are sleepers. My Randall Cobb is going

519
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: to be Oh, I can't wait, Randall, and you are

520
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: there any Are there any Dolphins to play in this game?

521
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so I'm putting them on the bench.

522
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: Preston Williams is the only one I would consider. He

523
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: scored their only touchdown on the season. He leads the

524
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: team in yards and receptions, and uh, they're going to

525
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: be behind. But I just can't do it. I just

526
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: can't trust it. Rosen starting by the way, if people

527
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: don't know over the Cowboys, I'm giving dac An a grade.

528
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: I think it's a smash spot form here. He already

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: has seven touchdowns on the season, averaging over three yards,

530
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: and he added sixty nine yards on the ground blast

531
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: This week, he faces a team allowing the most passing

532
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the league in the fifth most yards a

533
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: a spot for him. He's gonna be feeding the ball

534
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: to Randall Cobb. Your take home should have a good

535
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: game there. I'm only giving Cooper a B. Zavian Howard,

536
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: who who's probably at this point after the make of

537
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Hads Patrick Trade, probably looking like John Travolta and pulp

538
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: fiction looking around the room for people. But he's still

539
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks in the league. I do

540
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: think Cooper can can find his way to an okay game,

541
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: just because this should be a blowout. Here be greed

542
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: for Cooper. I'm giving Devin Smith a C. I think

543
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: he's really Boomer bust. Yeah, yeah, it's it's all if

544
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: he can get that one big play like he did

545
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: at Ohio State for all those years and last week,

546
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: yeah and last week, uh C grade for Witten, he's

547
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: scoring back to back games. The Dolphins are coming are

548
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: just a game removed from having the Baltimore tight ends

549
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: light them up. So possible touchdown there for Witten. I

550
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: had Witten as my premature speculation last week, and look,

551
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Zeke obvious A and Pollard is the take comp for

552
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: what week said already. Randall Cobb just reiterating the finer

553
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: point on that. Randall Cobb, alright, Matta Miami takes on

554
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: a new England team that has to make an adjustment

555
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: without Antonio Brown. Yeah, as I prepped for this matchup,

556
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown was a member of the Patriots. He's no

557
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: longer a member of the Patriots as they released him.

558
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm still going to give Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and

559
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon a grades. Gordon was at a B, He's

560
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: now moved up to an A without Antonio Brown. And

561
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: I think Philip Dorsett probably moves into the B category now. Um,

562
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: All three of the wide receiver cornerback matchups are green

563
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: on Pro Football Focus. That's a good thing for wide receivers.

564
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: They're great outway higher. Edelman's averaging seven and a half

565
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: targets per game. Gordon has only seen nine targets in

566
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: two games, but he's always a threat to break one.

567
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: And in the game where Antonio Brown did not play

568
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, Dorset looked great and had the two

569
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that game, So I like all of those guys.

570
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Uh Sony Michelle is getting before you go into the

571
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: running game. So you're the Jets here, Adam Gaze. You've

572
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: got one great cornerback Tremaine Johnson, who you bench after

573
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: week one. I guess to like prove a point. And

574
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: then they bring into his his backup Harriston. He gets

575
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: absolutely lit up in the middle of the game. You

576
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: bench your best safety, Jamal Adams, and that only goes

577
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: badly as well. Now he's angry. The secondary right now

578
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: for the Jets is just a mess. Well, not only

579
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: that they're missing their best linebacker C. J. Mosley, who's

580
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: probably going to miss this game. It's just an absolute

581
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: disaster for the Jets at the wrong time, especially when

582
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: they faced the Patriots. I would be surprised if the

583
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Jets came out after halftime. They might just not show

584
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: up on the field after the halftime show up. The

585
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: plane will be gassed in the parking lot. Right Sony

586
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: Michelle is getting a b. He carried the ball twenty

587
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: one times and a blow up last week. It should

588
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: be a blow out again this week. Uh White and

589
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: Burke had have both been getting touches, but they probably

590
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: won't need a ton of passes to the backs in

591
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: this one, and they only got like seven and nine

592
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: touches last week, so it's not it's not super intriguing.

593
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: On the other side, the only guy you can consider

594
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: playing is Levy on Bell. I gave him a B.

595
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: He's tops in the league at avoided tackles according to

596
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, and he's going to need it. Uh.

597
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: He led the team and targets once Falk entered the

598
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: game with ten ten targets out of twenty five Luke

599
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: Falk passes, so uh, I think that the volume play here,

600
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: especially in a PPR league, is really good for Levy

601
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: on Bell. The rest of the passing game, including Luke Falk,

602
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, and Jamison Crowder, they're all on the bench.

603
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: Stephon Gilmour will shadow Robbie Anderson. Crowder could be in

604
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: line for a ton of dump off slot play, but

605
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: still faces a negative matchup against Jonathan Jones, and all

606
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: three of those wide receiver cornerback matchups on Pro Football

607
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: Focus are in the red, so that's bad for the offense. Alright,

608
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: um Cincinnati takes on the Buffalo Bills. This is a

609
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: bad matchup for Cincinnati on many levels, but let's just

610
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: talk about their offensive line for a minute. Starting left

611
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: tackle Cordy Glenn is in the concussion protocol. His backup

612
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: is Andre Smith, who doesn't even belong in the league anymore,

613
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: and he's got a groin injury. Guard Michael Jordan is

614
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: out with a knee injury, first round rookie Jonah Williams

615
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: is on i R, and Clint Bowland retired unexpectedly in

616
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: the offseason with the blood clot issue. It's I thought

617
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, like last week, well it could have been.

618
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: It is the it's the worst offensive line in football,

619
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: and that's a large part of why Joe Mixon is

620
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: currently my running back ranked to him and and this

621
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: is just the middle of the pack Buffalo run defense.

622
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter, and he's got and by the way,

623
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: he comes in with an ankle injury of his own right,

624
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: So it's all bad for Joe Mixon right now. So

625
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: just to see grade here, really, he needs a goal line.

626
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: I think a goal line opportunity to h to score

627
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown and have an opportunity to salvage a Fantasy Day.

628
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has been one of the great stories through

629
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: two weeks in the NFL season ends here. He's got

630
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: all the same offensive line problems. And if you were

631
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: to go back over the last sixteen games one full season,

632
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: back the week three of last year, the best secondary

633
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL statistically is the Bills. The average game

634
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: against them one hundred eighty six passing yards and one touchdown.

635
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the average fourteen of the last sixteen

636
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face the Bills zero or one touchdown. That's it.

637
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: So Andy Dalton just to see grade here, and he

638
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: probably ought to get a bench, but I'm giving it

639
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: sounds like no, doesn't. John Ross, also with a CEA,

640
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: has been a monster as a result of Dalton's increase

641
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: in past attempts back to back one hundred yard efforts,

642
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and receiving yards right now. But just

643
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: like coming Yeah exactly who didn't? Uh? He gets trade

644
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: Davious White game over for John Ross. It's been a

645
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: nice run, but now that's over. Um again, only the

646
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: only out of respect for what he's done so far

647
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: and the fact that he might not get White on

648
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: every play. I've got to see grade on ross, but

649
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: really before you don't play him. Tyler Boyd gets a beat.

650
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: He's hauled in ten of ten targets for one last week,

651
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: a ten of ten targets hundred twenty two yards, highest

652
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: yardage output in his last eight games. He'll avoid as

653
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: right because he runs out of the slot, so instead

654
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: he's going to see something called saran neil no yea

655
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: sail reading corner boggles allowed every pass and his coverage

656
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: to be completed. So I believe we will give a

657
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: B grade to Tyler Boyd. Let's go to the Buffalo side.

658
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was might take a chance on me quarterback.

659
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: He seems good. He seems good. That means we like

660
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: John Brown. The chemistry here is a parent. Brown has

661
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: garnered a twenty seven percent target share thus far, He's

662
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: averaging se even receptions eight yards per game. Bengal secondary

663
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: has been a rex are, undering three scores to opposing

664
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: receivers in the first two games. In cornerback Drake Kirkpatrick

665
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: will most often cover John Brown or try Kirkpatrick gave

666
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: up seven yards on a score last week and has

667
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: given up two scores on the season already. So I

668
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: like this match up a lot for John Brown. Be

669
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: great here, and I considered an A grade for John Brown.

670
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, in fact, let's just call it an A grade.

671
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley gets a C grade. He's seen thirteen targets

672
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: in two games, A safe but boring option for anybody

673
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: in a pinch. Here, Beasley will be draws equally boring

674
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: veteran cornerback b J Webb, who has been mostly that

675
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: sounds like a real name, b J Webb. That's that's

676
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: a real name. None of this surend green stuff. Um,

677
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: we can retroactively trade grades. Yeah, that wasn't kind of

678
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: was I did say John Brown was a B and

679
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: then I switched him to an debat Preston Williams. All right,

680
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: do you want to give him the C after garbage

681
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: time scene? No? You can't can get me see all right,

682
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: let's let's go to our next matchup, which is Carolina

683
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: taking on the Arizona Cardinals. Scott, what have we? What

684
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: have you got for the Cam Newton lists Carolina Panthers.

685
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: So Kyle Allen's going to get the start. His one

686
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: loan start last year two sixty six yards and three

687
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. He actually, uh, he ran one in last

688
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: time as well. Uh. This would have been a get

689
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: right game for Newton, but he's not in. Obviously, the

690
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Arizona defense still missing Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford. Uh,

691
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: and that has allowed not just over three passing yards

692
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: per game, but over seventy rushing yards per game to quarterbacks.

693
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: As I just mentioned, Kyle Allen had a rushing touchdown

694
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: and last year when he played, maybe there's something there.

695
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: They've allowed five passing touchdowns in two games. Given him

696
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: a C grade. I think, you know what. I think

697
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: he's sneaky, startable. And I've talked to some people that

698
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: are that do that are in salary cap at famble

699
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: dot com. They're playing Kyle Allen. I'm sure he's minimum.

700
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: He's a minimum. He is your minimum salary quarterback in

701
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: a beautiful matchup. Beautiful his main target in that game

702
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: last year and the main target for the Panthers this year.

703
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm giving a B that is d J. Moore his

704
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: at least seven catches and at least seventy five yards

705
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: and back to back games totally in twenty four targets.

706
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: B grade from him out of with Kyle Allen in

707
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: there a grade for Samuel. I really like Samuel's deep

708
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: speed against against slower defensive backs. This week he's seen

709
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: the second most targets um and and I don't think

710
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense can keep up with him. I think

711
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: he gets deep for one. Uh Greg Olson B grade.

712
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have allowed over a hundred yards and a

713
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: score to both t. J. Hockenson and Mark Andrews. You

714
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: know hard it is to allow back to back one

715
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: hundred yard light end games, almost when you're not facing

716
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: Kittle and Kelsey in a row. Yeah, no kidding. If

717
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: if Greg Olson were eight years younger, I might I

718
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: might go one ten last week. Did that's true? I

719
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: did write that down here, But I am giving him

720
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: a B grade. Christian McCaffrey, I'm still giving an A grade.

721
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: I know it's an awful performance last week. He's gonna

722
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: rebound against the Cardinals. Nobody's gonna have a perfect game

723
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: every game, but his upside is always two hundred plus.

724
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: He had seven hundred and seventy eight total with Heinekey

725
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: last year and Cam Newton was out on the other side. Uh,

726
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I'm giving a B grade to the Cardinals

727
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 1: are going no huddle on fifty percent of their place

728
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: that's the most in the NFL. And if you're curious

729
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: who number two is, it's the Falcons at eighteen percent.

730
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: It's crazy how how up temple they want to keep things. Uh.

731
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: That shows for both Carolina and Arizona, as their seconds

732
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: per play is twenty two seconds per play, both number

733
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: one and number two in the NFL. This might be

734
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: a really fast paced game. If so Murray's going to

735
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: pass a lot, he's he's he's throwing so much. He's

736
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: averaging over three hundred per game. B grade there. His

737
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: main guy, Fits leads the team in basically every category

738
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: A grade there. A tip of the hat to people

739
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: who who rolled the dice on Fits, who felt at

740
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: the time of the draft felt uber boring and he

741
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: was coming off a really lackluster year. From a fantasy standpoint,

742
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: Fits has been great and I guess you could have

743
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: seen it coming that he's going to be the obvious

744
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Veterans safety valve always in the right spots. I said

745
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 1: this in the preseason that when that line, terrible line

746
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: breaks down, Kyler is going to roll out and try

747
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: to find the safety day Uh. Eighteen out of nineteen

748
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: passes to the slot where fits plays all the time

749
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: have been have been completed hundred nearly a hundred percent

750
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: of them. So them Cooper Cup, Chris Godwin great stats

751
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: out of this lot. The great thing about this team

752
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: is they run four wide so often. Christian Kirk is

753
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: also a slag. He's a slog at most of the time.

754
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on him. Uh. Kyler is

755
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: a tempting forty passes per game. He's gonna get eight

756
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: to ten of them. Uh, Beauty, when you're the second

757
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: slot guy, you're getting the dying, you're getting the dime corner.

758
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: Most teams don't have four good corners, right exactly. Uh.

759
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: Jamir Bird was my take home, like that revenge game

760
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: there and uh dj Uh David Johnson I'm giving a

761
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: B grade to. Hopefully his wrist is fine. He had

762
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: a rough game last week, much like Christian McCaffrey. But

763
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, Malcolm Brown, Peyton Barber all good games against

764
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: this defense. They have allowed the fourth feist receptions and

765
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: second feist receiving yards to back, so that's a concern

766
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: with Johnson. But he's not cutting a lot this year,

767
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: so which is weird, which you gotta get that going.

768
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: They do, but be great for DJ that might just

769
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: not be a part of his offense. Maybe not. Let's

770
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: move on to our final matchup of of this particular segment,

771
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta taking on Indianapolis. I thought Matt Ryan with that

772
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: battered offensive line, was downright gallant in his performance last week. Matt,

773
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: and here comes another very good pass rushing unit in

774
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: the Colts. What do you think? Um? Yeah, there's a

775
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of There's a lot of start grades here for

776
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons, especially in the passing game. I got an

777
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: a on Julio Jones. I gotta be on Calvin Ridley

778
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: and I already said Mohammed Sanu was might take a

779
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: chance on me. He gets a sea. The Colts are

780
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: likely missing top corner Pierre de Sierra Noal as well

781
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: as jabbaal sheared from the pass rush is great, He's

782
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: really good. That's a big loss. No Um, Ridley is

783
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,479
Speaker 1: averaging eight targets scored in both games. Julios and auto

784
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: start Austin Hooper. He gets the ECTO cooler grade. What

785
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: does that mean? It means it's a high sea like

786
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: a C plus. Did it? Oh? Yeah, I mentioned the underneath,

787
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: dump off stuff to the Colts zone defense in the

788
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: take a chance on the segment. That plays well for Hooper,

789
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: who's averaging almost eight targets per game and leads the

790
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Falcons and catches with thirteen. He's a pretty good start

791
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: in PPR. With all those starting grades. I gave Matt

792
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: Ryan an A. I think it's a high volume passing

793
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: game for the Falcons coming up, and I'm giving Davante

794
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: Freeman a B. Well, I don't like the amount of

795
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: Edo Smith we've been seeing free and is in a

796
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: get right spot here. He faced the Vikings and Eagles

797
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, each with a great front seven.

798
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: The Colts are not that Uh. They've allowed almost five

799
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: point seven yards per carry to opposing backs and almost

800
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: twelve yards per catch to opposing back so far this year.

801
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: So Freeman almost an A start, I would say, but

802
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a solid BE just because I'm a

803
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: little afraid of Edo. On the other side, Marlon Mack

804
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: is getting a B. He didn't practice Thursday, did go

805
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: on Friday. That's a positive. Uh. Mac is fourth in

806
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: the league and yards after contact, and he's run thirty

807
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: eight passing routes this year to niheem Heinz nineteen. Of course,

808
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 1: we all know about the fabled Atlanta can't cover pass

809
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: catching backs defense. Uh, it's still true if Max suddenly

810
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: doesn't go Jordan Wilkins becomes a B grade in this um.

811
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: But but it looks like Mack is trending the right way.

812
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisett's getting a C. He's nearly a bench play. Uh,

813
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: he just hes too low of a volume. He's only

814
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: throwing fifty five passing attempts this year. That parts, only

815
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks who have started and finished both games have

816
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: thrown thrown less. So but he is throwing a touchdown

817
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: pass on every eleven throws. He kind of like that number.

818
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: But the narrative play here. His first game at home

819
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: as the Colts starter. The last time we're in Lucas Oil,

820
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was getting booed off the field. So this

821
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: is Jacobe Pricette. Maybe it's a it's a warm homecoming

822
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: for him. Uh. T Y Hilton's getting a B. Suddenly

823
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: he's a red zone threat. He's taken over for Eric

824
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: Ebron is the man in the end zone. The Falcons

825
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: gave up eight one oh seven and a touchdown to

826
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: a similar speedy outside guy in Nelson. Agil are the

827
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: tight ends. Ebron and Doyle are on the bench. It's

828
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: just a neutral tight end matchup, and they've combined for

829
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: only seven catches on how about that on only twelve targets.

830
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I didn't think the move from Luck

831
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: to Prisette would automatically dagger the tight ends. Really weird Schematically,

832
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: they wouldn't change that much. Something's up, So it's it's

833
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: bit is a peculiar change, isn't it? Ye? Coming up next,

834
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: let's answer three tough questions. You'll get to play along

835
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: and find out whether or not you can safely drop

836
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown at this time. It's three tough questions. I'll

837
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: be one of them. I'll pepper all panel with the questions.

838
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: You get to see if you can go three and oh,

839
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: don't do no, No, don't no. It's Fantasy Football Weekly.

840
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: I am fault charch in fanball dot Com. My compatriots

841
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Boys, It's time

842
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: to get into the grinder with three tough questions. Listener,

843
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: you can play along see if you can go three

844
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: and oh tough question number one, Can fantasy owners and

845
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: redraft leagues just drop Cam Newton? And what about dynasty

846
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: and Empire? So I'm looking for two answers redraft leagues.

847
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: Can you drop Cam Newton in a re draft league

848
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: and then alternately in a dynasty or Empire league? We

849
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: begin with Scott Sure in one QB redraft leagues. Uh, yes,

850
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't hold onto qbs in that format at all.

851
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 1: I I have no problem streaming, especially when a guy

852
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: who's a big part of his fantasy game is predicated

853
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: on running. Yeah, I just don't want him in there.

854
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: Uh to keeping super flex, No chance I drop him,

855
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: zero chance I dropped him. I'm keeping him in those Uh,

856
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire. It's the same deal. It depends on

857
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: if it's one QB or two QB I think, and

858
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm keeping him in both. Keep keep is your answer?

859
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: All right? So keep and keep is where Scott is. Well,

860
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm dropping him in one QB redraft. Okay, wait, so

861
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: this is a one QB question. Yeah, okay, one qbs

862
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: for if you're in a single quarterback league, which most

863
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: of our listeners are all that we love super flex drop, redraft, keep, Dynasty,

864
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: got it, matt Um, I'm dropping in single quarterback formats

865
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: of all kinds. Um in redraft, I'm dropping him. Uh.

866
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: He's had one year in his career with more than

867
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: twenty four touchdown passes. That one year he threw thirty five.

868
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: Take that year out. He's averaging twenty one passing scores

869
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: over the last other seven years. You know who had

870
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: twenty one passing touchdowns last year? Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford,

871
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Where'd you find those guys on your on

872
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: your rosters last year? They were on the waiver wire.

873
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: So he's he's he's a completely droppable player. If his

874
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: ability to run and his ability to score on the

875
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: ground is sapped, which we think it might be, he's

876
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: just an Eli Manning Matthew Stafford, Andy Dalton for a

877
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: couple of years in a row. Here I changed my answer.

878
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: He's just drop him, just drop him out. Okay, Um,

879
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: the correct answer here is drop and keep. Let's talk

880
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: about why you would want to keep him if you're

881
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: in a dynasty or an empire league. Is the last

882
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: year of his contract, and by the way, contract very

883
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: cheap by today's standards, eighteen million dollars is nothing for

884
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: starting quarterback money at this point. Um, the opportunity for

885
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: major change for Cam Newton is coming in the next year.

886
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: The windless Panthers could take a quarterback in April's draft.

887
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: They might be thinking they might be picking like second

888
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, who knows. New owner might

889
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: be looking at new and coach. It's a couple of

890
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: shows ago, Matt, you said, first coach fire, first coach

891
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: fire to be Ron Rivera. You might be right about that.

892
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: So there's all that. There's free agency coming at the

893
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: end of he could be he could be on a

894
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: different team. He could find himself on this team, but

895
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 1: in a better situation with better coaching. UM. I think

896
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of scenarios here where he ends up

897
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: either on a different team or in a better situation,

898
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: better coaching, better offensive line, better receivers, somewhere or another

899
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: down the road where you'd ultimately be glad you had

900
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I'm not ready to completely write him off

901
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: long term, so we're keeping him here at least to

902
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: next year so we can find out how this thing

903
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: is going to play out between now and next season.

904
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: Tough question number two and some scoring systems Austin Ekeler

905
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: has been Fantasy Football's top scoring running back. Are you

906
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: selling high or you're keeping him to yourself? Matt damage

907
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: to the Hippo campus from that one. It hurts. I

908
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: can't convert temporary memories to permanent ones. I can't analyze

909
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: and remember spatial relationships. Certainly I'm running into doors and

910
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Austin, you're Tetris. You're still bad at Tetris,

911
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: really bad at Tetris. I can't move furniture. It's awful.

912
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: Just dido horizontal. You never do it horizontal? What are

913
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: you doing? How do you even do that? Somebody's making

914
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: a Tetris movie? What is it with the great characters

915
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: of Tetris? Oh? Yeah, movie, the Tetris movie. Okay, So

916
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler hasn't been the most durable back. He was

917
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: dinged up when Gordon missed games last year, he wasn't

918
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: as successful. Uh And Melvin Gordon will return this season

919
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: at some point, most likely Week nine against the Packers

920
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: because Week ten is a Thursday night game and he

921
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: probably won't be able to play in that one. A

922
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: few reports in Week ten, uh and we've cited the

923
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: late season, tough schedule for Chargers backs. Week eleven versus

924
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Mexico, Week twelve as a bye, Week

925
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: thirteen at Denver, that's a tough run dye. Week fourteen

926
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville, that's a tough run dye. Week fifteen Minnesota,

927
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: that's a tough run dye. If you're starting Chargers running

928
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: backs at that point, you're being eliminated from the playoffs.

929
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: So it's sell now while he's at the all time peak.

930
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm just to ride it out. We've had so many

931
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: running back injuries and running back issues and Joe Mixons

932
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: and Leonard four Nets and guys just having terrible games

933
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: early in the season. Here he scored four touchdowns in

934
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 1: two weeks. He's getting twins when he touches a game.

935
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride this out as long until it bucks

936
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: me and then try to figure out what I'm gonna do.

937
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sell him yet, all right. Um, you know,

938
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: I think Matt hit on all my salient points, which

939
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: is I'm selling high on Austin Ekeler, and I love

940
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. I think he's a good back. There's there's

941
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: a chance that Melvin Gordon returns. So I mean that's

942
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: happening in weekdown. It's gonna water down this back field

943
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: a lot. Matt hit on many of my my salient points.

944
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: I'll sell him later. You've got this after Miami next week,

945
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: and you're holding him for one more week. You're selling

946
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: him on the on the bananza. You're head but hey

947
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: on the Miami game, by the way, and then you

948
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: get Denver, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Chicago, brutal matchups. You got the

949
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: playoffs schedule also brutal Jacksonville, Minnesota. You know, I just

950
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't think there's there's so much

951
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: reason to think Austin Ekeler can't maintain this. If you

952
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: can get elite return value for him, you should. You

953
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: trade him in an Empire League to the guy who's

954
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: facing the current champ in week four. That's I like

955
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: the way you think, like the way, all right, tough

956
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: Question number three? Can we just drop Antonio Brown Scott yep?

957
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: I think so? Well wait wait give it to me

958
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: in two answers Redraft Dynasty keeper Will Redraft. Yes, I

959
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: don't think he plays another down this season, if at all,

960
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: he'll be thirty two. By the time next season starts

961
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: at wide receiver age, that's that's really getting out there.

962
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: Then you've got to find a team that not only

963
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: will take a chance on him, that will also be

964
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: a good situation for him. I'm I'm just not trusting

965
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: all of those things are gonna come in line. Plus,

966
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: we don't know what this investigation the NFL is doing

967
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: is gonna hold. And if he'll be suspended next year

968
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: or part of the year, maybe he doesn't come back

969
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: to his thirty three. I'm I'm just dropping him in

970
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,479
Speaker 1: both drop drop, dropping him drop and bop, drop and drop.

971
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: Have I got a question and for you, does this

972
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 1: mean he's no longer staying at Tom and Giselle's house.

973
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: I gotta believe it's over. They're like, uh yeah, sorry, Antonio.

974
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: What if he won't leave? What if he just actually

975
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: like nothing's changed? And now now, hey, Jasel, how's it going. Yeah?

976
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: You know, he's just hanging around the house and they're

977
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: you making some wheat germ um. They're looking at their

978
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: watches kind of getting late Antonio, and he's oblivious, Oh yeah,

979
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: you guys want to watch some Netflix? Yea. With the

980
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: three of them. Um. I believe he's very droppable and

981
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: redraft um from from everything that Scott said, But I

982
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: will differ and say that he's not quite droppable yet

983
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: in dynasty or empire. Uh, if you get to hold

984
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: the guy over for years and years, there's still a

985
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: shot that he comes back into the league. And let's

986
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: face it, from a talent standpoint, he's one of the

987
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: most talented wide receivers in the league. If he gets

988
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: another chance to play in this league again, I think

989
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: that you have to hold and there is some value

990
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: at least sort of tradeable asset that you can get

991
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown in a dynasty league. None of us

992
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: believe Antonio Brown is likely to play this year, but

993
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: we can't rule out play this year, right, So he

994
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: has to get through this any possible NFL action against

995
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: him for the rape allegation that's against him and other allegations.

996
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: So he's got to get through that. But if he does, um,

997
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: there's a chance at the end of the year, perhaps

998
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: a playoff bound team suffers a major injury. You know,

999
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Falcons are going to the playoffs

1000
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones goes down whatever The other team he

1001
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: can end up on is the Chiefs. Wouldn't that be

1002
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: something um he could play somewhere else this year. But

1003
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: I think the most likely scenario is he's going to

1004
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,720
Speaker 1: hit the repentance tour. He's going to talk about how

1005
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: he's going to go to anger management, he is going

1006
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: to go to personality behavior. He may decide to tell

1007
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: us that he's got a substance abuse issue, which one,

1008
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: frankly would not surprise me, but I'm not. I'm not

1009
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: saying he has one, but I wouldn't be surprised if

1010
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: it turned out that he says he does. Those are

1011
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: all things I think is going to happen now is

1012
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: when you know, when he's got plenty of time by

1013
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: himself and he's got to just learn to deal with

1014
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 1: this thing. That the repentance tour is going to happen.

1015
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna set the stage for Antonio Brown to be

1016
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: on another team at training camp next year, and maybe

1017
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: that situation is going to be a very good one.

1018
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: We don't know for sure. To Scott's point, we don't know.

1019
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: It could be a bad one if he's if he

1020
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: is anywhere, but he might be in Miami. They might

1021
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: be in Miami. If you're in a you're in a

1022
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: dynasty or an empire league and you're thinking about next

1023
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: year and you only have fifteen roster spots, you can't hold.

1024
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: You can't hold Antonio Brown. Most of those are bigger leagues.

1025
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: And then I think you hold him and you find

1026
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: out how this thing plays out for next season, but

1027
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,479
Speaker 1: you're not the prepensive. There's a nine chance I believe

1028
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown will not play this year. Questions like this

1029
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 1: and the Camp one are predicated on your roster sides.

1030
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: If you have twenty four roster spots, well then it's easy.

1031
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: Well that it's easy, but why not? And that's why

1032
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: I hate twenty four roster spots. You know, It's just

1033
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: there's no there's no hard decision making for a commissioner

1034
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: at that point. By the way, what a roller coaster

1035
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: of value for Antonio Brown going from Pittsburgh to the Raiders,

1036
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: which is a downgrade, and then maybe he's not going

1037
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: to play for the Raiders, which is dorade. Then he's

1038
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: cut and we're like, oh my gosh, what's happening. Then

1039
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: to the Patriots and he's like all time high, right

1040
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: for two days a week one week, Yes, and and

1041
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: in a game in which he played snaps and the

1042
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: throw to may Times last week, Holy cow, unbelievable. Oakland.

1043
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: It takes on the Minnesota Vikings, and let's talk through

1044
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: the fantasy angles of this one. For the Raiders, it's a.

1045
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: It's a it's pretty messy, and I don't like a

1046
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of what I see here. For Derek Carr. The

1047
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: Vikings secondary has been unusually pliable, but I still don't

1048
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: like Car much here. Viking secondary remains very good. And

1049
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: this offense uh and his offense for Derek Cars dealing

1050
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: with injuries all all around him, which is a big problem.

1051
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: Tyrod Williams trying to play through a hip injury, offensive

1052
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: line maybe missing Trent Brown and Gabe Jackson, you're all

1053
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: that together, and it's only a C grade at best.

1054
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,959
Speaker 1: For Derek Carr, well, you know what, I'm just gonna

1055
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: put him on the bench. That's what you would do

1056
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: against the Vikings on the road. Let's go. Let's go

1057
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: bench right here. By the way, speaking of on the road,

1058
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: Raiders have lost eleven straight road games. That gross. I

1059
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: did hear a stat that the Vikings have never beat

1060
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: a John Cruden team really wow, I believe he's four

1061
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Um, Tyroll Williams, as I mentioned, hobbled with

1062
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: a hip injury, lines up from all over the field,

1063
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: but I think mostly he's gonna see Xavier Roads because

1064
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: of his size. Rhodes isn't the shutdown corner he used

1065
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: to be, but I think he can curtail it Hobbled

1066
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: Williams here if he even plays, so ce grade on

1067
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: Tyrolle Williams. Dar Darren Waller is the exciting guy here.

1068
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: He's played of Oakland snaps from the tight end. He's

1069
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: the tight end and he's garnered every tight end target

1070
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: but two so far. Highly involved in this offense. Six

1071
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: ft six, he runs a four fourty. Minnesota hasn't allowed

1072
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: a tight end touchdown in eleven straight games, but um,

1073
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: they have been dinged by some tight ends, including Austin

1074
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: Hooper in Week one, so it's been underneath. Yeah, I

1075
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: think while you're sitting on a high volume game, and

1076
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they threw ten passes his

1077
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: direction or maybe even I can't rule that out. You

1078
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: can't know be great on Darren Waller. Josh Jacobs is

1079
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: dealing with a groin injury, and he's also dealing with

1080
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: an undisclosed illness. I want to believe that that illness

1081
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: is leprosy. He lines up all over the fight. I'm sorry,

1082
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: he's dropped ten pounds. It could have just skin weight.

1083
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: The Vikings completely shut down DeVonta Freeman at home, limited

1084
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: him to thirty one yards, but then they got demolished

1085
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: by Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams on the road. This

1086
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: is a home game for the Vikings and they've mostly

1087
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: dominated Runners at home, so roll all that together. Josh

1088
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: Jacobs gets a nervous c A grade and that is it. Um,

1089
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: let's go to the Viking side. Kirk Cousins startable in

1090
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: this one, in a possible get right spot for him

1091
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: as he faces a team that's already five passing touchdowns

1092
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: and three five yards per game. But will Kirk be

1093
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: allowed to throw the ball requisite enough times to throw

1094
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: the balls? It has come to that, Um, he's thrown

1095
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: the fewest passes of any two game starter in the league.

1096
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski got burned by Cousins last week

1097
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: and maybe hesitant to ask him to go win the

1098
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: game with his arm. Um but a C grade on

1099
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: Cousins because the matchup so good, and for Theeling and

1100
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: Diggs they both get B grades. Raiders are allowing the

1101
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: second most yards per game to opposing wide receivers. Both

1102
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: Theeling and Diggs play from all over the field and

1103
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: they get great matchups no matter where they go. You

1104
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: get on one side of the field, they get lead

1105
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: footed cornerback Darryl Worley and his six four speed. On

1106
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: the other side they get garyn Connolly, who got smoked

1107
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: by Chiefs utility receiver to Marcus Robinson last week. And

1108
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: then in the slot they get to Marcus Joyner, who

1109
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: is incredibly allowed fourteen of fifteen passes in his coverage

1110
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: to be completed. It's like he's not even trying. No,

1111
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: it's not. It's like he's not trying. I mean if

1112
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: I asked, if I asked Kirk Cousins to throw fifteen

1113
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: straight passes to an uncovered feeling and digs in practice,

1114
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: he might hit fourteen and fifteen. Then there's Dalvin Cook,

1115
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: who's an obvious A grade that I don't think we

1116
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: really need to expand upon here. Um he's been great,

1117
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,160

1129
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Texans and the l A Chargers. A tricky matchup for

1130
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. Do you start him against that Charger? Secondary

1131
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: find out next. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul

1132
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Charge and we are breaking down each of Sunday and

1133
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Monday's NFL games fantasy style. We put letter grades on

1134
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: every player, explain who we like, why we like him,

1135
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: why we don't like him, and you get to make

1136
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: your own decisions. You agree with us, you get to

1137

Speaker 1: hear the rationale for why we like these guys. If

1138
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: you think we're onto something great, you can go with us.

1139
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: If you think we're not, don't like it's up to

1140
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: you set your own line up. Flying short of that,

1141
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Houston takes on the Chargers. Uh Scott as a as

1142
01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned going into uh this previous break, this is

1143
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup for Deshaun Watson. Yeah. Um, this is

1144
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: a good Chargers secondary and a team you generally beat

1145
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: on the ground and not through the air. What do

1146
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you think it? What do you make it? Deshaun Watson

1147
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners? But is it still good? Right now?

1148
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Derwin James is on I Are, Adrian Phillips this week

1149
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: joined him on I Are, and so is Trevor Williams.

1150
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Now so they're starting defensive is just Casey Hayward from

1151
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: the start of the year, and he's so he's gonna

1152
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: be on DeAndre Hopkins. So will Fuller that was that?

1153
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: That's that's the sound of will Fuller going deep right there? Yeah, there,

1154
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: there you go. It's a little bit of a rough

1155
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: spot for Watson, who just got sacked three times while

1156
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: we've been talking. That line is is pretty terrible. Uh.

1157
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Bright note for bright note for him is that the

1158
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: defensive backfield should should give him some room to operate.

1159
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't top two hundred seven yards yet, the Chargers

1160
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: haven't given up two U fifty yet. I'm just given

1161
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: a B grade to Watson Hopkins even with Casey Hayward.

1162
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm given an A grade because because it's DeAndre Hopkins.

1163
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: When's the last time he had two bad games in

1164
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a row? That just doesn't happen to him? So uh uh.

1165
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: I think he had a bad game against Ramsey this week.

1166
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a little bit more breathing

1167
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: room lining up all over against with Casey Hayward trying

1168
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: to shadow him Will Fuller. As you said, I'm giving

1169
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: a B grade to I've got it. I love him

1170
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: today ahead you can finish. Do you know who's on

1171
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: him though, Matt, you want an old cornerback name who's

1172
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna be honest. Brandon Fatty Soon Fast seasons, Brandon Brandon

1173
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Faceason fast season. Um, yeah, that Brandon Fast season as

1174
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: as we like to talk about here. Don't worry. I

1175
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't know much about him either, but he's an undrafted

1176
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: kid who has seen a total of five career passes

1177
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: into his coverage before getting pressed into duty this season.

1178
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: His two games this year haven't gone well. He has

1179
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: allowed ten of twelve passes in his coverage to be

1180
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: completed and he's already allowed a touchdown. Hey, can you

1181
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: go easy on Brandon Brandon fast fast season? Brandon fast season.

1182
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: And that's why I think Fuller gets off. You remember

1183
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Will Fuller with Deshaun Watson. They scored in each of

1184
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: their first seven games together, and he's only scored in

1185
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: one of their last six together. I think that I

1186
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: think he gets back on that pace of this game.

1187
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde was your take home. I have Duke on

1188
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: the bench, Duke Johnson, because I mentioned this in the preseason.

1189
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was through through through to the rainbacks the

1190
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: lowest percentage in the NFL last year, and I thought

1191
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: it might have been personnel. Only five completion the running

1192
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: backs this year, So maybe it's just not what they

1193
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: do at all. So Duke is on the bench on

1194
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: the San Diego, San Diego, Los Angeles Cardon Sandy Digo

1195
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: char alright, Philip Rivers, I'm giving a B two. He's

1196
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: which he gets matted matched up against the week secondary,

1197
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: including an aging vet guy they picked up in free

1198
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: agency one week ago and a rookie, so that should

1199
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: be pretty good for rivers. H. He's averaging over three

1200
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,439
Speaker 1: yards per game in attempting thirty five passes per game,

1201
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: giving him a pretty strong be because I really like

1202
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Allen this week as well. UH. With Henry out and

1203
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: Williams ding dupp, that means a ton of targets for Alani.

1204
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: At fifteen last week, UH is currently fourth in the

1205
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: NFL in red zone targets. I think you can lock

1206
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: in ten plus targets easy A grade there. Uh. Mike Williams.

1207
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be a decoy last week.

1208
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: He wasn't. He was in for about six snaps and

1209
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: he's the one that's gonna get the rookie corner Lonnie Johnson.

1210
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I do have a B grade on him. Fantasy's number

1211
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: one running Fantasy Football stops scoring running back Austin Ekeler

1212
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: obviously grade right. He's averaging twenty touches per game, six

1213
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: of those per game being receptions. Its receptions per game. Uh,

1214
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and what did I say about running backs before the

1215
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: season who average eighteen or more per game the last

1216
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: two Levin? Who did it last year, all finished top

1217
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: fifteen on the season. It's so much about the running

1218
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: back positions. Just opportunity, absolutely, just plane volume. Justin Jackson

1219
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: despite his eight point yards per cary, he's only getting

1220
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: six or seven touches per game. I'm still keeping him

1221
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: on the bench. Still eight point eight yards per carry.

1222
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: That's awfully good. Awfully good. All right, not so good?

1223
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: The Giants taking on Tampa, what I know, it's good.

1224
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: It's not so bad for sake Kwon Barkley. You already

1225
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: talked about Daniel Jones, so you take a chance on

1226
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: me quarterback. So who are the receivers that you like

1227
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: for the Giants? Matt Well, yeah, baby, that's it, does

1228
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: You don't need to expand on that, really. Evan Ingram

1229
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: gets an a. He's leading the NFL tight ends in

1230
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: receptions with seventeen through two games. He's on pace for

1231
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty six, which would obliterate Zach ertz

1232
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: is a single season tight end record of one sixteen.

1233
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: George Kittle had two touchdowns back for penalty against Tampa.

1234
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen had a hundred and ten yards last week.

1235
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: This is an easy one for Ingram. Sterling Shepherd gets

1236
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,479
Speaker 1: the seas out of the concussion protocol, while fellow wide

1237
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: receiver Cody Lattimer traded places with him and went into

1238
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. Benny Fowler looks doubtful with a hammy,

1239
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and Shepherd caught six of his seven targets in the opener.

1240
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: He's the top wide receiver target for Danny Dimes as

1241
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Scott Fish love of ye, that's not a me original

1242
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston on the other side, I'm giving him a

1243
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: bee and it's a if not now when it really

1244
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: is right now. The Giants defense is an absolute dumpster fire.

1245
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Opposing quarterbacks in the last four games are averaging three

1246
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty passing yards and almost three passing touchdowns

1247
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: per game. Last year, in this matchup, Winston played half

1248
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: of a game, had a hundred nine yards and two

1249
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns on sixteen throws. That's great. Yeah, Chris Godwin gets

1250
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: an A grade. Mike Evans get to be the passerrating

1251
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: when targeting Godwin one one point one. That's pretty good.

1252
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Godwin lines up in the slot against more than any

1253
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Tampa, I should say so. He will

1254
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: face Grant Haley the most who's one of the worst

1255
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: slot corners in the league. According to Pro Football Focus,

1256
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker is the other corner that God will get

1257
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: to pick on. He literally is the worst cover corner

1258
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Mike Evans gets generous Jenkins for most

1259
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: of the game. He's their best player in the secondary.

1260
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: But that's like dominating a kindergarten tea ball game as

1261
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: a nine year old. Breshad Perriman is even a possibility

1262
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: of the desperation seeing it was almost might take a

1263
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: chance from me receiver. Um, I'm gonna give O. J.

1264
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: Howard to see. He had one target last week. It

1265
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: was negated by his own offensive pass interference call. That's

1266
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: insane because Brad has two negated touchdowns. Vibaldi too. Um.

1267
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 1: The Giants have given up two touchdowns to tight ends

1268
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: this year. The Bucks had ten days to look at

1269
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing wrong with O. J. Howard. I

1270
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: got a feeling that they're going to try to get

1271
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: this right well, and Bruce arians called out Howard publicly.

1272
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times they like to

1273
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: uh put a little to soothe the wounds a little

1274
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: bit when they do that. And so we'll see if

1275
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I think I put a little fire in the belly.

1276
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: If you're if you've held on too O J. Howard

1277
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: through this, for the love of God, start him here.

1278
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: It's the Giants considering the waste land that is tight

1279
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: end right now. You you you're probably still playing him.

1280
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones. I have both on the bench.

1281
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: You're oh, you're crazy. I'm not crazy. After Jones looked

1282
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 1: like the hot hand in week one with fourteen touches,

1283
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: he only got four in Week two. Barbera had ten

1284
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: touches in week one and twenty four last week. This

1285
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: keeps cycling back and forth, and I don't want anything

1286
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: to do with the Vampa run game. You can be

1287
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: in as much as you want, but I'm I'm out.

1288
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: I Am not even against the doster fire that is

1289
01:08:56,439 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: the Giants. I'm starting everybody I can against the Giants. Fantastic.

1290
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat you this week if you can. I've

1291
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 1: got Peyton Barber in a bunch of leagues, and I

1292
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: think Barber has been good and you love the game. Barber, apologies.

1293
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: I have been and I'm sticking with it here because

1294
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: this is the easiest matchup he's got all year. Carries right, dude.

1295
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,839
Speaker 1: He had. He had twenty three carries last week, forty

1296
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: two snaps to Jones's eight snaps. Now, I know the

1297
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: hot hand thing is legit. I can't tell you that

1298
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Barbera's not is going to be the hot hand guy.

1299
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: That's exactly No. Here's what I can tell you. Who's

1300
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: going to be the first running back on the field.

1301
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Barber. And all you have to do

1302
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: to become the hot hand is me the first guy

1303
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: on the field against the Giants. Whoever gets the first

1304
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: crack at the Giants is automatically the hot hand. Peyton

1305
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: Barber is gonna do just fine. I got I got

1306
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: him on the bench. We'll see how that works out.

1307
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: Next week, New Orleans takes on Seattle. This will be

1308
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: the first game for Teddy Bridgewater is a starter, um,

1309
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: which you think is worst news Teddy's career average of

1310
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown per start, or the fact that Taysom Hill

1311
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: is gonna factor heavily into the quarterbacking mix here what yeah,

1312
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: you can't start Teddy Bridgewater and fact start Hill first.

1313
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Sean Pitton's playing super flex. He is playing super flex

1314
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: with his own team, which I love. Um, Bridgewaters out

1315
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and he hurts. He materially hurts compared to Drew Brees.

1316
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: He materially hurts the whole offense. But still you're still

1317
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: starting guys like Michael Thomas Thomas. It's not like Thomas

1318
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: was like deep these deep bombs to Michael Thomas. The

1319
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: whole bit on Thomas is they throw to him twelve

1320
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 1: times a game and he catches eleven of him. Teddy

1321
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Bridgewater still throws a short, catchable ball and fairly accurate,

1322
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: reasonably accurate as long as you don't ask him to

1323
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: throw for more than about sixteen yards downfield. Perfect um.

1324
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: He is going to see a He's gonna see a

1325
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: fair amount of Seahawks cornerback Tray Flowers who got burned

1326
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,879
Speaker 1: for a hundred seventy yards. And he's scoring the opener

1327
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and remains one of these slower, more burnable cornerbacks in

1328
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: the league. Thomas is the ultimate possession receiver. I still

1329
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 1: think you get little something done here. I'm giving Jared

1330
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Cook a ce. He's been a disaster so far. I

1331
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: think two catches in each game. How can you have

1332
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: him in your lineup without breeze? But the Seahawks have

1333
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: allowed the second most receptions, the ninth most yards, and

1334
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: are one of just six teams to allow more than

1335
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: one score to opposing tight ends. Okay, tight ends find

1336
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: themselves ten yards down field. You know, they're running their

1337
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: tight end routes. That's the Teddy zone. They're a little

1338
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: tight end. That's all. That's all Teddy can do is

1339
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: these ten yard routes. So I think I think I'm

1340
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: giving Jared Cook a starting grade with the sea here. Uh,

1341
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: those are that's it for the receivers. Were not going

1342
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: to the We're not going into the ted gids in

1343
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: the world that do need those long passes. Let's go

1344
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: to Alvin Kamara, who gets a B grade. Only one

1345
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 1: back is top sixty two yards on the ground against

1346
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: Seattle over their past six games going back to last

1347
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: year obviously, but they have allowed five receiving scores to

1348
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: backs in their last seven games. So maybe build something

1349
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 1: through the air there. Um, he's only posted, by the way,

1350
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: he's posted fewer than thirty seven receiving yards. We think

1351
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: of Camara is an elite path kicking back right fewer

1352
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: than thirty seven receiving yards in ten of his last

1353
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: thirteen games. Weird I know for Camary, I just I'm

1354
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: surprised too. He doesn't have a twenty carry game in

1355
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: his career. He's also not scored a touchdown in four

1356
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the past six games. Salvid Camara is not It's a

1357
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: B grade on the downgrade with the offense and that

1358
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: part all that together, but there's concern here about tomorrow overall. Yeah,

1359
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: tough fish question. If it doesn't go next week, it might,

1360
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: it might come up next week. Let's let's go to

1361
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: the Seattle side of this game. Tyler Lockett is where

1362
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 1: I want to start here because I love this matchup.

1363
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: He goes up against slot cornerback p J. Williams, and

1364
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: the Rams absolutely targeted him last week with Cooper Cup.

1365
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: Hundred twenty yards on nine targets for Cooper Cup against

1366
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: p J Williams, and Cup was a yard away from

1367
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: staring touchdown. In fact, they called it a touchdown called

1368
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: it back on review. Williams struggled hang onto the slower

1369
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 1: Cup who's only a four six guy, and here comes

1370
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, who's a four four guy. I think this

1371
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: is a very nice matchup for Tyler Lockett, who has

1372
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: an A grade in this game. And if I lock

1373
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: it in an A grade. I probably like Russell Wilson,

1374
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: who's gotta be grade. Wilson doesn't run much anymore, though,

1375
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: So let's know that topping twenty two rushing yards just

1376
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: twice in the last ten games. But I should not

1377
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: know that the Saints have allowed quarterback rushing touchdowns in

1378
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: both of their games this year. So maybe gets a

1379
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: little something done on the ground. And if he had

1380
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: more and better receivers, I'd be more inclined to go

1381
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: with him. But there's will distille c grade there. Um.

1382
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people scrambled Will Disley last

1383
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: week because of the two touchdowns, and so you just

1384
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: picked him up and now you want to dust them

1385
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: off here. But the problem is Seattle has been great

1386
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: against tight ends, and none of top twenty one yards

1387
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: this year, none of top sixty one yards all of

1388
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 1: last year against Seattle. So a tough a tough bit

1389
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: Will Disilee. And this only people knew how to speculate

1390
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: prematurely on Will Disley was done in week one. Oh yeah,

1391
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: let me adjust my tie here. Oh there it is,

1392
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: hey hold on, dk Metcalf gets a C grade. He

1393
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: plays almost entirely from the left side of the field.

1394
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: That puts him on marshed on Lattimore. That used to

1395
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: be a tough assignment, but Lattimore is trailed off a lot.

1396
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: He has a lot of touchdowns in both games this year.

1397
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: And Metcalf's got forty pounds of weight differential on Lattimore.

1398
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: He's got forty pounds of weight differential on everybody. Yeah,

1399
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: that's right, exactly, All right, Let's go to the running

1400
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: game because this thing gets Harry first. Rashod Penny is

1401
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 1: popped up on Friday's injury report with what was its

1402
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. So this thing is super dicey, so and

1403
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be confusing for fantasy owners. And I don't

1404
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: even have all the answers right now, but let's note this.

1405
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Carson has got three fumbles already, not good. He's one

1406
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: fumble away from riding Pine for a long time. That

1407
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: worries me. And he's got to know that and I

1408
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when you ask guys to

1409
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:57,560
Speaker 1: cover up the ball, suddenly they're not running with the

1410
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: same style and stuff like that. I'm nervous of about

1411
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: this now. The Saints run defense has been bad this year.

1412
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: They've allowed almost six yards per carry, which is almost

1413
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: twice last year's league leading three point two yards per carry.

1414
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: They were an awesome run defense last year, they've been

1415
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: bad this year. Um Still, the Saints have only allowed

1416
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to rushing touchdown since last October. So roll all that together.

1417
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if Penny is playing in this game, I

1418
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: heard directly from head coach Pete Carroll. Didn't call me,

1419
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: but I heard this on an interview. He said, it's

1420
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: a two headed backfield. If Penny's back there, they're gonna play,

1421
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: and Chris Carson could lose this thing. It's but if

1422
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Penny's not healthy, and then it's all Chris Carson. I

1423
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: would give a B grade to Carson, but if it's

1424
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: both of them, they come in with C grades. Our

1425
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 1: final topics are ahead when we provide you with three

1426
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: guys we believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next week,

1427
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: so you can grab them this week. Whether you are

1428
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: ready for it or not. Premature Speculation is coming at

1429
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: you next. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Premature Speculation might be

1430
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the most popular segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Each week,

1431
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: our host provide a player who will be a hot

1432
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: waiver wire pick up next week? Who you want to

1433
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: grab this week? It's our little time machine bit and

1434
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: then you frustrate the rest of your league when you've

1435
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: got the players they're trying to pick up machine sound

1436
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: effect again it goes boing boing. I think we need

1437
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:53,839
Speaker 1: the Wyn and Garth due that works for me. Um.

1438
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Scott Fish. Your premature speculation player is

1439
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Paul church In. Do you remember that Miami team that

1440
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: allows the most rush attempts, the most rushing yards, the

1441
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns, and the most receiving touchdowns. Yes? I do.

1442
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Do you also remember that running back I mentioned that's

1443
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: averaging eight point eight yards per carry? But I have

1444
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: him on the bench this week because he's only getting

1445
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: seven to eight touches a game. Yeah, who's that? That's

1446
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson. Give me him, Get him now, get him

1447
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: before he plays Miami next week, where he should get

1448
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: a ton more opportunity in a blowout. And guess what,

1449
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: he's over seventy available in leagues right now. That's amazing.

1450
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: Don't pay fab for him next week. Go pick him

1451
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: up now if he's available. If next week everybody's gonna

1452
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: realize Miami's coming exactly expensive that he'll cost you one

1453
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: buck or just pickup move if you're in one of

1454
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:42,719
Speaker 1: those leagues. Get him now, right, Matt, I got super

1455
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: flex himself, Taysom Hill. If the Bridgewater experiment in New

1456
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: Orleans doesn't go well in Seattle, we might see a

1457
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,679
Speaker 1: ton more of Taysom Hill, and Frankly, if it does

1458
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: go well, we might still see a decent split of

1459
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Hill and Bridgewater. Sean Payton is going to try to

1460
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: keep this team alive with bubble gum and band aids,

1461
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: which could mean a revamped read option offense that uses

1462
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: Hill and many snaps. He refused to name Teddy the

1463
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: clear cut number one quarterback. Wasn't that interesting. It's not good.

1464
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: And even if Hill is not playing quarterback full time,

1465
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: he was still on the field for twenty one snaps

1466
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: against the Rams last week. He can catch, he can run,

1467
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 1: he can block, he can throw. It behooves the Saints

1468
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: to keep Weapon X on the field. And I think

1469
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is going to be a guy that if

1470
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: you're in a two quarterback lead, you might be starting

1471
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: him in some weeks just because he's gonna be PPR

1472
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: where he'll he'll be a little of every, little of everything.

1473
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Maybe my premature speculation player is Ty Johnson. He is

1474
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: your new number two running back for Detroit. Now, I've

1475
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 1: been advocating for c. J. Anderson during the preseason, but

1476
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: you if you remember closely, and I'm sure you remember

1477
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: everything I ever had to say about c J, it

1478
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: was never that c J. Anderson's this great runner. It

1479
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: was just the opportunity was going to be so high

1480
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 1: from a team that runs the ball thirty times a game, which,

1481
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: by the way, they've been running the ball thirty times

1482
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: a game, and that's Darrell Bevel's history, thirty times a game.

1483
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: But that opportunity now shifts to Ty Johnson, the sixth

1484
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 1: round rookie from Maryland, where opportunity meets talent. Ty Johnson

1485
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: averaged seven points seven yards per carry in college. He

1486
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: is incredibly fast. He's got four three speed. He was

1487
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 1: the Maryland's kick returner at his pro day, one scout

1488
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: tying him at four two six Ty Johnson. Scout's got

1489
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: a bad stop watch. And when I tell you a

1490
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: player is that fast, and most of you have no

1491
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: idea what Ty Johnson looks like. He's not small, he

1492
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: is a he is a full sized running back. He's

1493
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: five ft ten two hundred ten pounds. Usually when he's

1494
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: he's not unsized, He's not fun sized, and he can catch.

1495
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: He caught in Matthew Stafford touchdown in the preseason. Ty

1496
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: Johnson's got some shifting nous to him. I wouldn't call

1497
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: him elusive. He's mostly a straight ahead runner. Like a

1498
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: lot of these speed sprinter types. Are the guy the

1499
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: favorable pro comparison, favorable mind pro comparison for Ty Johnson.

1500
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: Robert Smith might go actually is also bigger than people think,

1501
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 1: but Robert Smith had the crazy speed. Let's get to

1502
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: our final set of matchups, including the Pittsburgh Steelers taking

1503
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty Niners. Scott okay so on

1504
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh side the Pittsburgh passing game. Rudolph actually looked

1505
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: pretty competent coming off the bench last week, but this

1506
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: will still be his first start in the league. Uh

1507
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was able to pile up fantasy points in

1508
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: garbage time last week against the forty Niners. Maybe the

1509
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: same happens here for Rudolph. As the Steelers are six

1510
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: and a half seven point underdogs at this point, which

1511
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: is crazy, but the the four Niners are high scoring

1512
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,520
Speaker 1: and the Steelers are really in a little bit they

1513
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: need to win. They haven't scored thirty points total on

1514
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: the season, which is crazy. But I'm giving Rudolf just,

1515
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a C grade. Uh Juju, I'm

1516
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: still giving a B grade two. He drew over of

1517
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: Rudolph's targets. That doesn't even count the two point conversion

1518
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: attempt that that was tossed his way, uh fifty seven

1519
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: yards last week. Um and that was just in a

1520
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: half fifty seven yards on on five targets and a half,

1521
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: so it looks good there. I think he'll find his

1522
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: his his best receiver, So be grade for Juju Washington.

1523
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna give a grade two until Deonta Johnson

1524
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,640
Speaker 1: comes up. Is going to be the ex receiver in

1525
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: this game. He they said after practice on Friday that

1526
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: he's going to be the starting receiver. So I'm giving

1527
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving Johnson that se grade and I'm putting Washington

1528
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: on the bench despite all their history from from college

1529
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Deante Johnson preseason Darlin caught a nice touchdown

1530
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: from from Rudolph in the in the preseason, uh they're

1531
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna need to catch up. I think Deontay gets some

1532
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: get some work there, Vance Dance Vance McDonald B grade

1533
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: your boy boy. He had four targets, catching all of

1534
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: them for eighteen yards and two touchdowns in the second

1535
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: half with Rudolph last week. Uh. San Fran may have

1536
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: hold held down O. J. Howard and Tyler Eiffort, but

1537
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: I liked I like his work in the red in

1538
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: the advance is getting with Threwolf, so the opportunity for

1539
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown, I think I gotta give him a B

1540
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: grade here, all right? Uh Connor and Samuel Samuel's is

1541
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: just going to stay on the bench unless until Connor,

1542
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, goes out is well, and he almost did

1543
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: this week. But he will start this He is gonna start. Uh.

1544
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: So I trust that the Bucks runners did well against

1545
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: the forty niners. Joe Mixon did not. It's kind of

1546
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: a mixed bag there, but I'm still giving Connor a

1547
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: B grade because he's a work horse. On the other side,

1548
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: Jimmy g was my take. Colm one one note, I

1549
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 1: didn't mention about them. They're the only team in the

1550
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: NFL without a three and out this year. What not

1551
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: a single thing that's all right this year. That's from

1552
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: Skyle Shandy s so good. Yeah. However, Deebo Samuel is

1553
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: the only one I'm starting, and I'm only giving him

1554
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: a C grade out of the wide receiver corp. There's

1555
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: a lot of splitting going on, but I think he's

1556
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: the best possible option for points out of there. I'm

1557
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: worried because his snap count dropped in half last week

1558
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: as Dante Pettis came back. I argue that was also

1559
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: because they got really ahead. Maybe Okay. On the other

1560
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: to the tight ends, Kittle a grade. Uh. Kittle could

1561
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: go against the super team of the five Bears and

1562
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: two thousand Ravens could find and I would still give

1563
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: him an A grade. We'll guys on the field, well,

1564
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. We'll justly caught two touchdowns against these guys.

1565
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: I think as long as kit Will also has like

1566
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: we mentioned, well, kit Will also has two touchdowns negated

1567
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: by penalty. I hope that doesn't happen again, But I

1568
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: think he gets in the end zone uh in the

1569
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: running game. Would it surprise you to that he mostard

1570
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: has played more red zone snaps, touches, UH, targets and

1571
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: catches gotten all in the red zone then Matt Brada.

1572
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that it surprises me a little bit other than

1573
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. It's just that. How about that Matt Breda

1574
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: has one red zone snap this season. That's that he

1575
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: plays in between the twenties. I'm still giving them both

1576
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: SEA grades because the bang the Steelers are allowing eight

1577
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: point five receptions per game to the position and the

1578
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,879
Speaker 1: third most total yard staff position. I mean those receptions,

1579
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 1: that's like eighteen Atlanta Falcons bad. So I think there's

1580
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of work for both of them.

1581
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving them both C grades. Okay, let's let's go

1582
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: over to the Rams taking on the Cleveland Browns. Yeah,

1583
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: the Rams returned to Cleveland finally, Todd Gurley and Malcolm Brown.

1584
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: They get a B grade. Malcolm Brown has the highest

1585
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 1: elusive rating in the NFL amongst players with fifteen and

1586
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: more touches. Gurley as the second most rushes for fifteen

1587
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: plus yards, and the Browns gave up one fifty nine

1588
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry and one twenty nine to Levy on Bell,

1589
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 1: Jared Goff only gets to see the road splits are real.

1590
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: I talked about it in week one on this five

1591
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,839
Speaker 1: outdoor road games, the average to twenty seven, one touchdown

1592
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: and one point four interceptions. Last year, he had one, six,

1593
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: one and one in his first outdoor road game in Carolina.

1594
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland made Marcus Marcus Mariota look good in Week one,

1595
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: but that won't happen here. Cooper Cup does get a

1596
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: B grade, and Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks are just

1597
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: getting c's. In their last seven games, the Browns have

1598
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: allowed exactly one touchdown to the wide receiver position and

1599
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: one yard game. So the highest grade goes the Cooper Cup,

1600
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: who leads the team and targets and receptions but hasn't

1601
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: scored yet despite going down in the one yard line

1602
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: last week. T J. Kerry is the slot corner for

1603
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: the Browns and offers the best matchup according to Pro

1604
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: Football Focus. Cooks is probably the higher the sea grades.

1605
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: He leads the team in air yards. Woods only saw

1606
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 1: two targets last week. I have a bad feeling that

1607
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: his late season burst was due to him playing the slot,

1608
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 1: and now the Cup is back, he's just a normal player.

1609
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 1: On the other side, Odell Beckham gets an A, Jarvis

1610
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,799
Speaker 1: Landry gets a C, and it's closer to a bench.

1611
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,759
Speaker 1: Landry is the third in the NFL amongst wide receivers

1612
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 1: with four broken tackles after reception, but the passer rating

1613
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 1: when throwing at him as an awful thirty three point six.

1614
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 1: Beckham faces a Ram secondary that gave up decent days.

1615
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: The other wide receiver ones Michael Thomas had a good,

1616
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: good game even with Breeze out for much of the game,

1617
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and d J. Moore had seven for seventy six. Richard

1618
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Higgins also out with an ankle injury, and David and

1619
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Joku on injured reserve of with a broken wrist. Yeah,

1620
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big loss at a thin position. Yeah,

1621
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, it's a. It's a notable loss. That's kind

1622
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield. He gets a bees looks shaky. It

1623
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 1: best so far, But this is his moment, his first

1624
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Night marquee game in his career, maybe the first

1625
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Sunday night game the Browns have had since they came back. Uh.

1626
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: He's the best quarterback the Rams have faced this year

1627
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 1: after an injured Cam and an injured Breeze. Nick Chubb

1628
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: gets an A two and twenty four touches in the

1629
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks. McCaffrey torched this defense in week one.

1630
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,799
Speaker 1: Kamarrow is held back by the breeze injury. I think Chub,

1631
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: who's third on the team and targets, is ready for

1632
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: a big spot here. Okay, let's go to the Monday

1633
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: night or Chicago and Washington. And by the way, who's

1634
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: scheduling the monthy terrible terrible games? Uh, there's only two

1635
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: starters in the entire game. David Montgomery is one of them.

1636
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: He got the lion's share of the snaps and carries

1637
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: last week, unfortunately, averaging just three and a half ke

1638
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: yards per carry through two games. His blocking hasn't been good,

1639
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: but he needs to do better. Fortunately, the Redskins have

1640
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: allowed one of sixteen rushing yards one thirty three rushing

1641
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 1: yards in their two games, and they are missing Jonathan Allen,

1642
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: who may end up missing this one as well. Um,

1643
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: maybe they'll start throwing. They're not even throwing to him yet,

1644
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: which they should do. He's got good hands Allen Robinson, though,

1645
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 1: I love he's got a great matchup against a Redskins

1646
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,560
Speaker 1: secondary allowing over two hundred yards to opposing wide receivers.

1647
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: And get this, Robinson lines up all over the field,

1648
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: So I means he's got a positive matchup at every stop.

1649
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: Josh Norman is just toast Dominique Rodgers, CARIMARTI just went on.

1650
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: I r Fabian Moreau is hurt, Quentin Dunbar's hurt. Every quarterback.

1651
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: It's all bad. No matter where Allen Robinson goes, he's

1652
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: got a plus matchup on the field. Problem is he's

1653
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: got Sad trombone Ski quarterback well, and that that is

1654
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: the problem. Kenny overcome Sad trombone Ski, who's frankly just unstartable.

1655
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: Right now, even with all this deeply favorable matchup, I

1656
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:51,719
Speaker 1: can't do it. All the other wide receivers besides Allen Robinson,

1657
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 1: none have more than three catches in a game. Even

1658
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: though Anthony Miller, Taylor Gabriel of positive matchups, I just

1659
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,919
Speaker 1: they just haven't been used, Hawkeye. I can't recommend them.

1660
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: Then there's three Cohen who from whom you will get

1661
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: no carries, and then it only matters what he can

1662
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: get through the air for you. And the Redskins have

1663
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: been awesome against receiving running backs. No runners top sixteen

1664
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: receiving yards and what's more, only one runners scored to

1665
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown in the Redskins last twenty four games. Not

1666
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: on the Washington side. Start nobody. It's a terrible matchup

1667
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: against the best defense. And not even Terry mccar and

1668
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Harry McLaurin, who gets Prince Amukamara, who's got the speed

1669
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: to hang with him here? There's there's nothing to like

1670
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: in this matchup, including Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. I'm

1671
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: afraid it's just all bad news. It's the Bears. It's

1672
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the Bears. Uh. If you love this show, please go
