Speaker 1: And time Now for Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan,
Speaker 1: presented by Grain Belt Premium and Devanny's your weekly source
Speaker 1: for the nation's best fantasy football speculation and advice. Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly is brought to you by fanball dot Com,
Speaker 1: town Hall Family, Greater Twin Cities, Honda Dealers, Shoe Sensors,
Speaker 1: Hudson Ford and by Park Tavern now Wow, along with
Speaker 1: fanball dot Com, Scott Fish, Matt Harrison, and Brian Johnson.
Speaker 1: Here's the fans, Paul CHARCHI in good morning, and it
Speaker 1: is early. It is an early morning. By We've got
Speaker 1: Gophers versus Ohio State early kickoff, so we have shifted
Speaker 1: to the early slot. I can't help it last the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Golden sacrificial lambs. Yeah, it's um, it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 1: I think, um that kickoff is I think eleven o'clock. Pregame.
Speaker 1: I assume at nine o'clock and that's that's when we
Speaker 1: will wrap up seven at nine o'clock Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Those are the voices of my co host Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson. Good morning, guys, Good morning. It is
Speaker 1: my alma mater. By the way, I'm not hating on
Speaker 1: the Gophers that much. I'm just very worried about this matter. No,
Speaker 1: my alma mater too, But they're they're playing the number
Speaker 1: three ranked team in in in the nation, so I
Speaker 1: don't like our chances. In particular, the boat is in trouble.
Speaker 1: Plenty of get me up over the course of the show,
Speaker 1: including take a chance on me. Nine players that you
Speaker 1: can many of them you can pick up off the
Speaker 1: waiver wire that you would not normally start, three hot questions,
Speaker 1: premature speculation, all of the matchups, and plenty to get to,
Speaker 1: including some juicy ones, including this one Brian Pittsburgh taking
Speaker 1: on Cincinnati a game that should be an absolute point orgy.
Speaker 1: That let's jump right into it. Nothing like a point
Speaker 1: orgy at this hour. Yeah, that's right. It doesn't want
Speaker 1: to point r G at seven a m well fit
Speaker 1: lasted from the previous day. Maybe, yeah, then there you go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's keep it going. Uh, let's start with James Conner.
Speaker 1: Might be the last hurrah for him this year with
Speaker 1: the Levy on Bell expected back. We'll talk more about
Speaker 1: that at LA, but he's getting an AU Miami, the
Speaker 1: abysmal Miami running backs totally hundred seventy eight combo yards
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati last week. So you gotta love James Conner
Speaker 1: in this matchup as the still the loan Bell cow
Speaker 1: Levian Bell totalled three seventy four to touchdown in his
Speaker 1: two meetings with Cincinnati last year, and their defense was
Speaker 1: much better than it is. So Connor easy a as
Speaker 1: and as his Antonio Brown. I'm not even going to
Speaker 1: go into that. You're starting Antonio obviously, Juju in a
Speaker 1: as well. Can I throw in a quick Empire question? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Juju v Antonio next year, whether a draft auction re
Speaker 1: drafting first, are spending more on It's it's got to
Speaker 1: be Juju next year, right, I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But if they were an empire, if your tie like
Speaker 1: a start up empire leagues, yes, yeah, then I want
Speaker 1: the five or six year age of differential and it
Speaker 1: would be Juju for sure. He's closing the gap, but
Speaker 1: he gets may as well. Uh. The Bengals are allowing
Speaker 1: the fifth most catches to wide receivers. Uh. Devin Fungus
Speaker 1: has had a huge game running out of slot. You
Speaker 1: know Juju should do the same for Pittsburgh Vans. McDonald
Speaker 1: can give him a see only one catch against Atlanta
Speaker 1: last week down, but this is a good matchup. The
Speaker 1: Bengals have allowed a tight end touchdown in three or
Speaker 1: five games this season. Only Carolina, who only has rookie
Speaker 1: Ian Thomas, and the Miami tight ends failed to score
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, So advance is still startable this week.
Speaker 1: And Big Ben on the road just gonna get a
Speaker 1: b Uh, you're just passing touchdown totals in his last
Speaker 1: four at Cincinnati to one one zero hasn't top three
Speaker 1: yards in that span. But again, that Bengals defense is
Speaker 1: not as good as it has been passed. And really
Speaker 1: this has Ben's That's very typical of Ben's road games period,
Speaker 1: regardless of venue. To one one zero is a lot
Speaker 1: of just who that's who Ben is on the Road's
Speaker 1: kind of BIZMAXI on the road, right, But uh and
Speaker 1: uh over of the Bengal side Joe Mixon, Uh, he
Speaker 1: gets an a. Pittsburgh has allowed the fifth view as
Speaker 1: fantasy points to backs, but they haven't really faced uh
Speaker 1: back at the talent level of mixing, so he's still
Speaker 1: an easy a. Jooe Bernard is out and uh sorry
Speaker 1: about Mark Walton Lasi had two catchers last week, but
Speaker 1: he won't factory here. Probably not all Joe mixing a
Speaker 1: J Green another easy A Pittsburgh allowing more than two
Speaker 1: fifteen yards and one and a half touchdowns per game.
Speaker 1: Two wide receivers A J had seven for seventy seven yards.
Speaker 1: That's a Jack Pott in his last meeting, with two
Speaker 1: touchdowns the last time he faced the stealer. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna start a J Tyler board. Get Tyler Boyd gets
Speaker 1: another b uh nine plus yards indoor a touchdown in
Speaker 1: three of his last four games. They've been running Green
Speaker 1: out the slot more than Boyd though, and that's why
Speaker 1: struggled a little last week. And Green had the bigger games,
Speaker 1: So keeping out on that. So Boyd is not the
Speaker 1: primary slot guy. And then one more past catcher to
Speaker 1: mention is uh C j Uzoma. I like to call
Speaker 1: him Oozy the snaps last week. He is the guy
Speaker 1: with Tyler Eifert gone and only Tam the Bay has
Speaker 1: allowed more fantasy points at tight ends than the Steelers,
Speaker 1: so usually gets a CE. Might borderline be in this
Speaker 1: up point? I wouldn't blame you if you gave him
Speaker 1: a B here again, let's just do that. Let's give
Speaker 1: easy to be and then Andy Dalton multiple touchdowns both
Speaker 1: Stewart matchups last year. That offense is getting better by
Speaker 1: the week, it seems so. He's in and the Steelers
Speaker 1: past defense is terrible. Their thirty yards allowed, their thirty
Speaker 1: second in sorry, thirty one and touchdowns allowed. It's a
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity for Andy Dalton, my number five
Speaker 1: quarterback this week. Matt. Let's go to Seattle taking on Oakland.
Speaker 1: This is a London game, so we will not say
Speaker 1: in Oakland, but technically I think Oakland is the host
Speaker 1: um regardless of venue. These have been two middling offenses.
Speaker 1: What do you think about their opportunities here? Well, hello governor,
Speaker 1: welcome to foggy London. Down. Chris Carson gets a B.
Speaker 1: The Raiders run defense is Richard the third, as in
Speaker 1: careful not to step in that steaming pile of Richard
Speaker 1: the third. They've allowed the fourth most yards running backs
Speaker 1: and three opponents of topped a hundred yards against them
Speaker 1: so far this year. It's the B. Russell Wilson. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of tosh to think you would drop Russell
Speaker 1: or bench Russell Wilson right now. He hasn't been running
Speaker 1: much this season, but he has thrown for multiple touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in four or five starts. And the Raiders secondary
Speaker 1: is made up of odds and sods, and they have
Speaker 1: allowed multiple passing scores in four or five. Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: gets a B as well. Three of Lockett's four scores
Speaker 1: this year have come from at least thirty nine yards out.
Speaker 1: Five of the nine touchdowns the Raiders have allowed to
Speaker 1: opposing receivers have come on catches of thirty four yards
Speaker 1: or more. That's a spawny outcome for Lockt. Doug Baldwin
Speaker 1: gets a see. He practiced in full all week and
Speaker 1: he played last week, but he might as well honked
Speaker 1: all over the pub with one catch for one yard.
Speaker 1: But he's very cag he knows his onions. And the
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the fifth most ards to wide receivers
Speaker 1: this year. Let's go to the Raiders side. Marshawn Lynch
Speaker 1: gets an A grade. That's gotta hurt you, right, you're
Speaker 1: very miffed because I've been down on Lynch this year.
Speaker 1: I guess that makes me a numpty. Indeed, it done noted, numpty.
Speaker 1: This is the revenge game of all revenge games, though
Speaker 1: some might call it an r G bargie, which is
Speaker 1: a heated confrontation. Is Lynch threw himself a patty and
Speaker 1: quit the Seahawks a few years back, and the Raiders
Speaker 1: accepted him warts and all. And if not, it's not
Speaker 1: when hill or when he'll score touchdown, it's he's gonna
Speaker 1: score touchdown. So what will be the celebration this week?
Speaker 1: Will he take the Mickey Willie teaser mock his old
Speaker 1: gaffer Carol? Will he go knees up in the end zone?
Speaker 1: You can bet he will be chuffed. Derek Carr gets
Speaker 1: a bench grade. The Raiders have not top twenty one
Speaker 1: point nine of their last ten games, and Seattle has
Speaker 1: allowed the eight fewest passing yards this season and have
Speaker 1: more picks than passing touchdowns allowed. It just so happens
Speaker 1: that Carr has also thrown more picks than scores. Jordy Nelson,
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade. He's averaging five catches
Speaker 1: for eighty eight yards over his last three games, thanks
Speaker 1: in part to a long run after catch on a
Speaker 1: touchdown a few weeks ago. He used to be a
Speaker 1: real corker in Green Bay. It looks like he's more
Speaker 1: of a damp squib in Oakland, though, uh Amari Cooper
Speaker 1: is as bent as a nine bob note chart. That's
Speaker 1: what I always say about a Marie Cooper. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: even weeks he's averaging nine catches for a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty two yards, and odd weeks he's averaging one catch
Speaker 1: for thirteen. He's all mouth and no trousers. Every time
Speaker 1: Seattle has faced the team with a good trousers and
Speaker 1: or all mouth. Every time Seattle's faced the team with
Speaker 1: a good wide receiver, that player has done well and
Speaker 1: it's an even week for Mariy Cooper. Have they faced
Speaker 1: any good receivers? Man, it's the Seahawks. It has been
Speaker 1: just crap offense versus crap offense versus crap and say,
Speaker 1: finally get the rams and both the receivers get knocked out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would think Colbert Woods did well and Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: did well. Finally, Jared Cook, he gets a C grade
Speaker 1: away from Oakland. It's been nothing but hard cheese for Cook.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are allowing only forty two yards per game
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends and only one score of the season. Still,
Speaker 1: Cook is the most targeted player in the NFL inside
Speaker 1: the ten yard line, which I like to call the
Speaker 1: redcoat zone. So I'm gonna give Jared Cook a C grade. Wow,
Speaker 1: I thought you were an absolute wanker. Thank you that,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'll just want wonk on the pub or
Speaker 1: was it honk to vomit? Oh? That's oh yeah, come on,
Speaker 1: Arizona goes to Minnesota. I will do the whole thing
Speaker 1: in a Minnesota in as in the voice of a
Speaker 1: Minnesota residents, and so it'll sound just like somebody from
Speaker 1: Minnesota is doing this matchup. How's that? I challenge you
Speaker 1: to do this? Okay, well I live in Minnesota. That
Speaker 1: makes it easy. A grades across now there are, there's
Speaker 1: one A grade to be had for the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: You kind of sound like a resident of Arizona, right
Speaker 1: a little bit? Yeah, I do. Sometimes when I do
Speaker 1: out of state radio, they're all bummed out that I
Speaker 1: don't sound like the people from Fargo exactly. I think
Speaker 1: the Vikings will want to try to run the ball
Speaker 1: in this game. They've had a series of tough matchups
Speaker 1: in which they could not run. They haven't had the
Speaker 1: opportunity of Dalvin Cook on the field. They're running the
Speaker 1: fewest rushing plays in the NFL. They've got the fewest
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game. I think maybe third few so
Speaker 1: maybe wrong about the top of my head. Either way,
Speaker 1: this is a This is an opportunity for Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: to get right, and it comes up against a really
Speaker 1: wobbly defense including a thirtieth ranking for Arizona and rushing
Speaker 1: yards allowed one under thirty four rushing yards per game
Speaker 1: their last and rushing touchdowns allowed. This feels like a
Speaker 1: very nice opportunity uh for Dalvin Cook in this game.
Speaker 1: And not only that, Lottavius Murray could get into the
Speaker 1: action at some point as well. It comes down to
Speaker 1: just rushing touchdowns and who's gonna get the ball at
Speaker 1: the goal line. That's probably Lottavius Murray. So I've got
Speaker 1: C grades on both of these runners under the presumption
Speaker 1: that the Vikings want to try to get to some
Speaker 1: kind of equilibrium with the rushing game and can actually
Speaker 1: be at least a little bit effective. This is their
Speaker 1: weakest run defense they've seen all year by a mile.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin gets a B grade here. I believe again
Speaker 1: he will throw fewer passes than perhaps any other game.
Speaker 1: Cardinals run defense as bad. As I mentioned Kirk's two
Speaker 1: low volume games, He's averaged two d seventy yards and
Speaker 1: one and a half touchdown passes, and that puts him
Speaker 1: firmly into B grade territory. Stefon Diggs draws Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: for this matchup, and Diggs has been great, so has Peterson.
Speaker 1: Peterson is allowed eighty nine receiving yards this year total
Speaker 1: all year, eighty nine receiving yards and coverage. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you'd throw it the only good corner they
Speaker 1: have though. That's the thing, So I you know, and
Speaker 1: I believe that there's no reason for Patrick Peterson to
Speaker 1: not take stuff on Diggs. He doesn't work the slot.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go on the Kwan treadwell. So the
Speaker 1: path of least resistance goes through Adam Feeling with a
Speaker 1: clear A grade here. He won't get Patrick Peterson. He
Speaker 1: will get utility safety Buddha Baker, which is a strong
Speaker 1: advantage for Feeling. Another very big game coming potentially here.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals defense has only faced one top twenty passing offense,
Speaker 1: and that team was the Rams, and they threw for
Speaker 1: three fifty yards and all the three of the receivers
Speaker 1: posted strong games. I like theeeling in this matchup. Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolph also a beast start. He's caught at least five
Speaker 1: passes in four straight games. Cardinals allowed Jordan's Red, Trey Burton,
Speaker 1: and George Kittle to average roughly four grabs and sixty
Speaker 1: two yards. Those are solid numbers for Rudolph at always
Speaker 1: an end zone threat. Let's go to the Arizona side,
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot to talk about. The entire
Speaker 1: passing game is on the bench. Not that the Vikings
Speaker 1: secondary has been as elite as last year, but it'll
Speaker 1: be plenty good enough to contain Josh Rosen, who justin
Speaker 1: has shown basically no explosiveness aside from that one long
Speaker 1: touchdown to Christian Kirk. And then yet in Larry Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: hobbled by his ongoing hamstring injury, and and I think
Speaker 1: Kirk gets shadow coverage from Xavier Roads were not starting
Speaker 1: any of them. David Johnson gets a B grade. Vikings
Speaker 1: remained very tough to run agn against. They're having a
Speaker 1: lot of rushing touchdown all year. They're only giving up
Speaker 1: eighty ground yards per game. But where Johnson can be
Speaker 1: effectivest through the air. His average receiving game hasn't been
Speaker 1: great to this point. They haven't used him that much,
Speaker 1: but the Vikings have allowed forty four or more receiving
Speaker 1: yards of four different backs, and I think David Johnson
Speaker 1: will ultimately potentially have more air yards than ground yards
Speaker 1: in this game. Let's take a break when we come back,
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in
Speaker 1: a starting a lot of all of them available to start,
Speaker 1: some of them on the waiver wire this week. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you there. When we come back to Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Weekly on the fans, we can go dancing. We can
Speaker 1: go up and again, take a chance on me. Nine
Speaker 1: players that you would not normally start, but you will
Speaker 1: this week, and several of these guys available on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire. One of mine definitely isn't, and two of
Speaker 1: mine now probably are, depending on the league. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fall asleep. I know this is bad. This is not
Speaker 1: not seven, am, baby, that's not that's not cool for seven.
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about how this is gonna work out. Start
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, Brian, all Right, I got Sam
Speaker 1: Donald at home against the Colts. The Colts secondary is
Speaker 1: incredibly banged up the top in the Corners on their
Speaker 1: depth chart eight Harrison, Kenny Moore, and Quincy Wilson all
Speaker 1: questionable to play, as are both starting safeties. Clayton gathers
Speaker 1: In Malik Hooker. Uh, they might have the dead Hooker
Speaker 1: is playing secondary. Yeah, but so many in the drunks
Speaker 1: of bars. Oh boy. So the Colts are one of
Speaker 1: ten teams yielding forty pass attempts per game to opposing quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I like that for Donald in this game and two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Deshaun Watson rushed for a touchdown. Last week,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady rush for a touchdown against the Colts. So
Speaker 1: they cover both ends of the spectrum forment, So any
Speaker 1: quarterback can run for a touchdown. Culture So I'm calling
Speaker 1: that for Donald. But now like Donald in this game?
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I'm going with Baker Mayfield of the
Speaker 1: Browns against the Chargers. Baker faced off against the better
Speaker 1: defense last week Baltimore Ravens. He tallied three forty two
Speaker 1: r it's through the air and twenty three on the ground.
Speaker 1: The Chargers not as good. They've given up the fifth
Speaker 1: most touchdown passes this season at just over two per game.
Speaker 1: And due to injuries to both pass rushers and the secondary,
Speaker 1: they're susceptible to baker mania. Baker Mania, you say, Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston makes us first to start of the year against Atlanta,
Speaker 1: a team that has allowed four straight opposing quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: throw for exactly three touchdowns. I would happily take three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Might take a chance on meat quarterback three of the
Speaker 1: last four to face Atlanta three hundred thirty five yards
Speaker 1: or more. Winston faced Atlanta one time last year. Three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: three hundred passing yards Jamis Winston. Or take a chance
Speaker 1: on meat quarterback. Let's go to the running back position, Brian,
Speaker 1: I need some help here, guys, I'm actually going with
Speaker 1: a fullback. Is the first fullback in takeom history? Well
Speaker 1: we go back aways? You know, Michaels was probably Aaron Ripkowski.
Speaker 1: Probably guy like, hey, you're gonna get a goal line
Speaker 1: dive for the Packers. I'm sure someone was in good hands.
Speaker 1: So what we got? Kyle check used check use check
Speaker 1: us check of the San Francisco forty Niners going up
Speaker 1: against Green Bay on Monday night. Uh no, Matt Brito
Speaker 1: looks like likely. No Pierre Garson, no Trent Taylor and
Speaker 1: sadly Marky's goodwin has been made of glass all the
Speaker 1: year or so. Check use check might be the top
Speaker 1: basket catching up in this game. Alphabet fourth on the
Speaker 1: team with twenty targets, coming off a six catch, seventy
Speaker 1: five yard performance last week. And they're gonna be chasing
Speaker 1: points in this can in Green Bay, believe it or not.
Speaker 1: And Uh, Kyle J. I'm just gonna call him that,
Speaker 1: Kyle J. Because that's a silent jay. Kyle. What was
Speaker 1: I thinking picking this guy this early in the morning
Speaker 1: as And uh, but hey, he's got more than twice
Speaker 1: his catches is Alfred Morris and uh have to snap.
Speaker 1: So it's all about this guy in j Kyle, use check,
Speaker 1: use use check, use check, use use check, use use check.
Speaker 1: All right, Sorry, you're gonna sense a pattern here. I
Speaker 1: have Duke Johnson of the Cleveland Browns going up against
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Did you know from two thousand fifteen to
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen, Duke Johnson led the NFL in yards
Speaker 1: per touch with six yards per touch. He's too talented
Speaker 1: for Hugh Jackson to leave him hidden on the bench.
Speaker 1: He's played of the snaps last week compared to thirty
Speaker 1: five percent for Carlos Hide but hide out touch Duke
Speaker 1: nineteen to six. Something's got to give. It's gonna turn
Speaker 1: around soon. The Chargers have been particularly bad against receiving
Speaker 1: backs this year, allowing the sixth most receiving yards to
Speaker 1: the position. Duke Johnson has been dropped in a lot
Speaker 1: of leagues. You can go grab him, Duke Johnson. I
Speaker 1: dropped Duke Johnson in the one league I had him in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I've kicked him to the curb. Belol Powell
Speaker 1: is sitting at potentially a very good game against Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: We've already told you about the the many deficiencies to
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis team and defense with all the injuries they've got. Also,
Speaker 1: this injury, Isaiah Crowell's a game time decision. May not play,
Speaker 1: and if he does play, he could see a reduced workload.
Speaker 1: Powell has shown his worth to the Jets offense, rushing
Speaker 1: for a solid four and a half yards per carry.
Speaker 1: He has topped sixty five total yards and four or
Speaker 1: five games this year, and Indianapolis is one of five
Speaker 1: teams that's allowed at least three and receiving yards to
Speaker 1: running backs this year Church. I think BELLEL. Powell has
Speaker 1: finally made it to like the Hall of Fame of
Speaker 1: take a chance on me players. I think five times
Speaker 1: seventeen times in the last three years, that is probably true. Uh.
Speaker 1: In the Colts last eleven road games, they've given up
Speaker 1: ninety yards or more from scrimmage to running an eight
Speaker 1: of the eleven. So I like all of that. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the receivers. So you got we're gonna stay
Speaker 1: with this game. Other team though, I got Ryan Grant
Speaker 1: with the Colts going up against the Jets. Grant has
Speaker 1: been very reliable this year, at least seven targets and
Speaker 1: five catches and three or five games scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: One of the games that he didn't hit those milestones,
Speaker 1: and the Jets have allowed the fourth most yards wide receivers.
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton is out of this game. Eric Ebron
Speaker 1: will play, but he's definitely banged up. So I like
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant here, and uh, we'll talk more with this
Speaker 1: game in a minute. Yeah, Ryan Grant, You're gonna sense
Speaker 1: of pattern here. Think. So I've got David and Joco
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns and Joke who has been dropped
Speaker 1: in a ton of leagues. He's available in about a
Speaker 1: third of fantasy leagues right now, and that's most likely
Speaker 1: due to the fact that he has not scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown in how many games? Nine games in a row.
Speaker 1: That's nine, yeah, nine, nine times in a row he
Speaker 1: has not scored a touchdown. Generally a bad thing for
Speaker 1: a tight end. Correct. However, since Baker Mayfield took over,
Speaker 1: he's averaging nine targets per game. Yes, and he's top
Speaker 1: seven amongst tight ends in both targets and air yards
Speaker 1: this season. The Chargers recently gave up a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five yards in a score to George Kittle. While
Speaker 1: I won't call those numbers, there's a good chance he
Speaker 1: finds pay dirt this week. I like it. Uh. Finally,
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu is the slot corner for Atlanta and he's
Speaker 1: daddy Mohammed Sanu junior. Let me be clear about this.
Speaker 1: Junior looks promising though, Yeah, making excellent moves. You've got
Speaker 1: that three year old in your DEVI league? Absolutely, Uh,
Speaker 1: Momed Sanus a slot corner, meaning he will draw Tampa's
Speaker 1: rookie cornerback m J. Stewart all game. And that is
Speaker 1: a huge advantage for Sanu. Stewart gave up one two
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns in Tampa's last game one game
Speaker 1: three touchdowns from the slot against m J. Stewart. Sanu
Speaker 1: is next. Atlanta has allowed the more touchdowns to wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I'm calling my shot right now. Touchdown Mohmed Sanu. Uh
Speaker 1: dirt cheap at fanball, by the way, at only excellent ad.
Speaker 1: Good job, guys, um Matt did not necessarily think out
Speaker 1: of the box with the Cleveland thing. But that's okay.
Speaker 1: Let's see what we can sneak in. One more matchup
Speaker 1: and they're gonna ran. We've already talked a lot about
Speaker 1: Indianapolis taking on the Jets. Let's let's drill down on
Speaker 1: the handful of guys we haven't talked about yet. Uh,
Speaker 1: starting with Indie. Ebron is gonna play. It sounds like
Speaker 1: matchup the Jets of not allowed of identity catch more
Speaker 1: than two passes or go over thirty six yards this year,
Speaker 1: and he's definitely banged up. So uh, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: give Ibron a ce. So I am worried uh about
Speaker 1: that injury. Ryan Grant just mentioned him. He just might
Speaker 1: take a chance of me wide receiver, and you know what,
Speaker 1: if you miss that on him, Chester Rogers might be
Speaker 1: viable this week as well. He was nearly might at
Speaker 1: one point he was might take a chance of me
Speaker 1: wide receiver as Chester Rogers, and I probably would have
Speaker 1: went down to that level of ron word to sit.
Speaker 1: But he still could have a better game than Ryan Grant.
Speaker 1: So he's getting to see as well, at least the
Speaker 1: eleven targets in each of his last few games. And
Speaker 1: the Jets, as I mentioned, over a thousand yards already
Speaker 1: allowed to wide receivers, fourth worst in the league. So
Speaker 1: Rogers gets to see. And I'll give Andrew Luck a
Speaker 1: B for that reason. He has thrown more passes than
Speaker 1: any other quarterback. Hasn't really been airing it out, but
Speaker 1: I'm seeing some zip on those throws, so I'm encouraged.
Speaker 1: And I'm not too worried about the shoulders so much anymore. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Colts have just rushed for seventy four point four
Speaker 1: regards per game this season, so they've been throwing a lot,
Speaker 1: So I like, look in this game now, Nie Him
Speaker 1: Hines Diehi Hi Him has been the top twelve PPR
Speaker 1: back over the last few weeks with Marlon Mack out.
Speaker 1: But Marlon mack is returning really muddies the water here.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give Hines a C and PPR. But
Speaker 1: he's on the bench now and standard as would that
Speaker 1: be the return of the Mac? I like it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: can we can we go? That's a great song all
Speaker 1: time banger. Uh yeah, but return of the Mac. But
Speaker 1: he's on the bench. It is not a great running
Speaker 1: great matchup for running backs. And with the return of
Speaker 1: the Mac, Hines gets to see like I said, and
Speaker 1: Mac is still on the bench even though he has returned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I it's not clear what his role will be
Speaker 1: for this offense. And now it's for it's four running
Speaker 1: back steep, which is disgusting. And uh, let's go to
Speaker 1: the Jets real quick, bellow, Powell, was your take a
Speaker 1: chance to me runner? Because this is a great matchup
Speaker 1: and he's an a grade start possibly, I said, doesn't go,
Speaker 1: Powell isn't a grade crowl is a game time decision.
Speaker 1: I can't really tell you much more than that, So
Speaker 1: you gonna have to That's all you can do. And
Speaker 1: then um, Robby Anderson and Quincy and Noemi will make
Speaker 1: this quick and even both to see this is a
Speaker 1: great matchup. As mentioned that secondary is very, very very
Speaker 1: banged up and for that reason, Sam Donald was might
Speaker 1: take a chance on me quarterback? All right? Excellent? Uh yeah, noon,
Speaker 1: coming off his zero zero for zero last week, and
Speaker 1: this is I think he's a guy. You can absolutely
Speaker 1: have that back in your lineup this week. They kind
Speaker 1: of moved him out of the slot last week, which fools. Yeah,
Speaker 1: put them back to It is a slot corner without
Speaker 1: a doubt. We'll take a break when we come back.
Speaker 1: Another set of matchups, including the Chargers versus the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Matt likes every single Cleveland brown And you're calling it.
Speaker 1: You're calling a win, right, Yeah, they're gonna win. They're
Speaker 1: gonna win. They beat You'll remember they beat the Chargers
Speaker 1: in Cleveland two years ago for their only win of
Speaker 1: the year. They were the one of the one and
Speaker 1: thirty one. They were absolutely We'll dive into that one,
Speaker 1: including what to do with Philip Rivers and Keen the
Speaker 1: slumping Keylan Keen Keenan Allen when we come back to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the Fan. Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you back to the matchups, including
Speaker 1: the Chargers traveling to Cleveland. As we mentioned going into
Speaker 1: the break, the Chargers Matt went to Cleveland. I think
Speaker 1: they've actually played each other three straight years. But they
Speaker 1: were in Cleveland two years ago and they lost to
Speaker 1: the then winless Browns and the team would and the
Speaker 1: Browns team that would end up getting their only win
Speaker 1: in two seasons was against this Charger team. What do
Speaker 1: you think about your Chargers this week against a far
Speaker 1: better Cleveland defense than we've seen in years? You call
Speaker 1: him my Chargers? Come on your Chargers? Yeah, um, I
Speaker 1: got Melvin Gordon still is in a grade. We don't
Speaker 1: really need to talk that much about him, but Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler gets to see Eckler's only top ten touches once
Speaker 1: this year. He's had at least seven every week. The
Speaker 1: Browns haven't been specifically bad against receiving backs. They're only
Speaker 1: allowing five point six receptions per game to the position,
Speaker 1: which Eckler probably splits with Gordon. But Eckler is still
Speaker 1: broken a couple of big ones, and he's kind of
Speaker 1: a take a chance on me, dart throw kind of
Speaker 1: a way back. Well, way better than that. Let's give
Speaker 1: not in this matchup. Not in this matchup. You go
Speaker 1: ahead and give him the love he deserves. Well, I
Speaker 1: want to mention about Austin Neck. Okay, I think he's
Speaker 1: a very good player. To do you this week? Did
Speaker 1: you know he's top fifty nine total yards in every game?
Speaker 1: Did you know he's scored in three of five games? Yes?
Speaker 1: Did you know he's averaging six yards per carry? Did
Speaker 1: you know that there isn't any other running back in
Speaker 1: the NFL that can make that specific claim? Well, Duke
Speaker 1: Johnson could from not six yards per carry, He couldn't
Speaker 1: six yards per touch? How about that? All right? I've
Speaker 1: got a B grade for the record. Dart throw is
Speaker 1: my B grade. Yeah, I don't think that if he's
Speaker 1: not getting more than ten touches, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you can give a B grade to somebody because he's
Speaker 1: getting because he keeps doing it every week. That's how
Speaker 1: keenan Allen I'm giving a B grade two as well.
Speaker 1: Alan is developing a bit of a concerning road split.
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored or top sixty seven yards in four
Speaker 1: straight road games. But he still gets the B because
Speaker 1: he most likely awards Denzel avoids Denzel Ward for the
Speaker 1: most part, who does not move to the slot where
Speaker 1: Alan runs more most of his routes. Speaking of Denz Award,
Speaker 1: he's played really well this year. He probably flexes out
Speaker 1: to Mike Williams, which means Mike Williams is on the
Speaker 1: bench ward held John Brown only fifty eight yards on
Speaker 1: fourteen targets last week. I don't imagine Williams can hit
Speaker 1: the fourteen target mark in this game. Philip Rivers, I'm
Speaker 1: giving a be though the Browns have the highest blitz
Speaker 1: rate in the NFL, Philip Rivers has the top quarterback
Speaker 1: rating in the NFL win pressured. That's a recipe for success,
Speaker 1: right there is. Still Philip Rivers is averaging over three
Speaker 1: yards per game and thrown for multiple scores every week,
Speaker 1: so he's a solid bee even against this pretty good
Speaker 1: Cleveland defense. Over on the other side, UH David and
Speaker 1: Joku Baker Mayfield, Duke Johnson all might take a chance
Speaker 1: on me. Guys all getting C grades. Carlos Hide also
Speaker 1: getting a C grade. Hide is still dominating touches with
Speaker 1: at least seventeen in every game this season, but the
Speaker 1: cuts and snap count have to have you concerned. He
Speaker 1: saw the field the only thirty five percent last week.
Speaker 1: The Chargers have allowed the seventh fewest rushing yards per
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs this year, at just under
Speaker 1: seventy four. So Hide gets downgraded a little bit here.
Speaker 1: And Nick Chubb, of course is on the bench. Uh,
Speaker 1: he only gets three touches per game. They're usually great.
Speaker 1: He only gets three touches. We actually they're not usually great.
Speaker 1: Twice they've been great. Uh, and that's it. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: receiver's Jarvis Landry. He's getting a B grade, averaging eleven
Speaker 1: point six targets per game. With Baker Mayfield as the quarterback,
Speaker 1: slot corner Desmond King for the Chargers has allowed seventeen
Speaker 1: catches on nineteen targets this season, and Cooper Cup scored
Speaker 1: against him just a few weeks ago. And then finally
Speaker 1: the other receivers, Richard Higgins is injured and probably not
Speaker 1: going to play, so Antonio callaway seems a bit more interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving him on the bench though, after Hugh Jackson
Speaker 1: cut his snaps last week due to too many drops.
Speaker 1: When Higgins left the field last week we saw Derek
Speaker 1: Willie's come in to replace him. He saw the same
Speaker 1: amount of targets as Callaway. They each had five in
Speaker 1: that game. So it just seems a mess after Landry
Speaker 1: and and Joeku. So I'm stand away from that al right.
Speaker 1: Next next matchup is Tampa Bay taking on the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 1: and there should be points everywhere in this game. Already
Speaker 1: told you Jamis Winston is might take a chance on
Speaker 1: me quarterback, and that means I must like his receivers.
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is a fascinating discussion. He isn't a grade
Speaker 1: here because the matchup is so compelling. The Falcons rank
Speaker 1: thirty in wide receiver touchdowns, UH touchdowns allowed, dead last
Speaker 1: in red zone touchdowns per game. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: you need to know about Mike Evans, and this is
Speaker 1: maybe the most important part long term less about this game.
Speaker 1: Over the last two years, Mike Evans averages double the
Speaker 1: yardage and double the touchdown probability with stew Beard. He
Speaker 1: is a wreck with Jamis Winston. Now, this matchup is
Speaker 1: so compelling that I think you you play Evans again
Speaker 1: here and you start him and he's got an A
Speaker 1: grade if you're sitting on Mike Evans today in a
Speaker 1: redraft league, you try to sell high. I'm going one
Speaker 1: more game because this game, this is such a compelling
Speaker 1: matching game. It's such a compelling matchup. And then I'm
Speaker 1: moving Mike Evans after this game because Jamis Winson just
Speaker 1: doesn't have any accuracy on his deep balls. And that's
Speaker 1: where Evans was so good with Stewie. It was the
Speaker 1: deep passes. Evans has scored at least once in four
Speaker 1: of his last five against the Yeah, this is you
Speaker 1: were playing him through this week, and then I think
Speaker 1: you're I think moving and selling high on Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is the way to go. There is one Jamis receiver
Speaker 1: that really gets the red zone target. That would be
Speaker 1: Cameron Break. All right, well let's talk about Cameron Bread
Speaker 1: for a minute. Problem is O J. Howard is now healthy,
Speaker 1: and so I put Cameron Bread on the bench. He
Speaker 1: though he has scored fourteen touchdowns in his last twenty
Speaker 1: six games with Winston under center um but O J.
Speaker 1: Howard was surging prior to his injury. So I just
Speaker 1: with ste Beer the stew Beard. Yes, Atlanta has held
Speaker 1: tight ends at Bay. Only one has gone over forty
Speaker 1: eight yards. Just one has scored all year. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm lukewarm on Bread. Well, I'm less than will warm.
Speaker 1: I'm cool. I'm luke cool on on Cameron Bread. If O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard weren't playing, he would have his startable grade. But
Speaker 1: with him, I don't like him. Uh. Deshaun Jackson gets
Speaker 1: a B grade. He's gone over one yards three times
Speaker 1: in this season. He's tied for the team lead with
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and but you know how this works with
Speaker 1: with deshn Jackson. He's gotta turn three or four catches
Speaker 1: into a touchdown and that's not always reliable. But again,
Speaker 1: this is a a Falcon secondary missing both of its
Speaker 1: starting safeties that gives up a lot of touchdowns. Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin gets a C grade because he runs from the
Speaker 1: slot along with Adam Humphries, which convolutes things a bit. Uh,
Speaker 1: He'll they will draw the worst of the Falcons corners
Speaker 1: Brian pool Um. Humphreys actually gets more snaps than Godwin,
Speaker 1: but Godwin catches a lot more passes than Humphreys, so
Speaker 1: I've still got him as a plausible See start for
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. Let's go to the running game. Payton Barber
Speaker 1: and Ronald Jones. This one's worth following. Last time we
Speaker 1: saw this Tampa team before the bye against the Bears
Speaker 1: in a blowout, Ronald Jones had far more snaps and
Speaker 1: more touches than Peyton Barber. So what happens this week?
Speaker 1: It's in flux. They could split carries, or maybe they won't.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll try to get Jones going because Barbara has
Speaker 1: given so little to this point. Atlanta's defense is a
Speaker 1: complete mess. They got injuries to Dion Jones, Kian O'Neil,
Speaker 1: to Cars McKinley, Grady Jarrett, their twenty eight in yards
Speaker 1: per carry at five yards a game, their thirty feet
Speaker 1: and rushing touchdowns allowed. So Barbara and Jones are both
Speaker 1: plausible starts, and I've got him as C grades. We
Speaker 1: just don't know how the workload is gonna gonna work
Speaker 1: itself out. I'm shocked that you're not calling for the
Speaker 1: Jockquiz Rogers revenge game. I almost did, because as we
Speaker 1: all know, Atlanta always gives up the most receptions to
Speaker 1: running backs. And then I looked at what Jackie's Rogers
Speaker 1: has caught. He's called like six passes all year, It's like,
Speaker 1: what a game to He's got like a one and
Speaker 1: one or two or three catch games so far this year,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's I can't do it. Now. There
Speaker 1: is this Ronald Jones can't catch. He is hands of stone.
Speaker 1: So Peyton Barber I think has a slight advantage. Not
Speaker 1: that he's a great pass catcher, but I do think
Speaker 1: Barber's got a slight advantage over Jones in a great matchup.
Speaker 1: If you're bold enough to roll hands, hands of flesh
Speaker 1: with actual fingernails and uh, the little grooves, the little fingerprints, uh, fingerprints,
Speaker 1: the print the finger What are the little grooves on
Speaker 1: your hand called your fingerprint grooves? Are they just fingerprint grooves?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea they got that time,
Speaker 1: but I think I think that's I think that's very
Speaker 1: important for the whole grippy nature of the finger is
Speaker 1: the groovespature are the grooves. While you're looking that up,
Speaker 1: let's go to the Atlanta side, where Matt Ryan and
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are all a starts. Ryan
Speaker 1: is my number one quarterback this week. Tampa has only
Speaker 1: one competent coverage corner Brent Crimes. He only plays one
Speaker 1: side of the field, so they can just throw Julio
Speaker 1: Jones on the other side if they want, or they
Speaker 1: can put Bridley on that side, and then they get
Speaker 1: rookie cornerback Carlon Davis whenever they want. Now for Ridley,
Speaker 1: remember in Tampa's last game, Chicago's number two receiver, Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel scored twice. Here comes Atlanta's number two receiver, Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 1: who is the touchdown score out of this group. So
Speaker 1: I love Ridley's my number six wide receiver. This week
Speaker 1: Julio Jones number three wide receiver. So I love all
Speaker 1: of them. Mohammed Sanu love him. Might take a chance
Speaker 1: on meat wide receiver as well. All of those players,
Speaker 1: by the way, have Palmer reflection creases. Thank you? Is
Speaker 1: that what they're called? Palmer reflection increases? All right? There? Creases?
Speaker 1: Um Staying with the passing game for one more name,
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper faces the league's worst defense against tight ends.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has given up one hundred four yards per
Speaker 1: game to the position, including at least eighty six yards
Speaker 1: to the opponent's starter in three straight games. Austin Hooper
Speaker 1: available in many leagues, and you can absolutely put him
Speaker 1: into your lineup if you've got Bi week Er injury
Speaker 1: problems at the tighten position, and frankly, who doesn't. AT's
Speaker 1: go to the running game. Devant Freeman has been ruled
Speaker 1: out of this game. That surges Tevin Coleman up to
Speaker 1: a B grade despite his lack luster or running performances
Speaker 1: so far this year, he has failed the top three
Speaker 1: point six yards per carrying four or five games and
Speaker 1: Tampa's giving up just three point nine yards per carry.
Speaker 1: I think his best chance for success is through the air, though,
Speaker 1: where he faces a Tampa defense giving up the second
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to running backs, he should have some success.
Speaker 1: Or he had some success against the Bucks last season,
Speaker 1: scoring two times in that one as well. So devin
Speaker 1: him and goes to a B and you know Smith's
Speaker 1: is a plausible start as well. To give you a
Speaker 1: good stature on Edo Smith, LEAs do the three games
Speaker 1: without Freeman this year, Tevin Coleman is averaging eight teen
Speaker 1: touches per game with five red zone carries. Edo Smith
Speaker 1: eight point three touches per game nine red zone carries,
Speaker 1: double the times he's carried inside and they both have
Speaker 1: four rushing attempts inside the ten yard line. So how
Speaker 1: about that? So you know Smith is not a half
Speaker 1: half bad touchdown play for you? Bonus take on right there,
Speaker 1: Edo Smith? And honestly, the way this Tavonta Freeman thing
Speaker 1: is gone, you know, who knows what this might end
Speaker 1: up being one of these seasons where just Freeman is
Speaker 1: constantly hurt, battling knee and foot injuries all season long.
Speaker 1: Who knows? Edo Smith should be? Uh? Should be? On rosters?
Speaker 1: Are we doing on time? Alright? Not bad? We need
Speaker 1: we need the gabble of sound effect for Judge Smith.
Speaker 1: We probably do. Uh E and Albert Lee? Hello, Good
Speaker 1: morning guys. How are you doing great? Thank you? Hey?
Speaker 1: My question is that I owned James Conner and Levian
Speaker 1: Bell in one league. I'm wondering to help my running
Speaker 1: back position and wide receiver position. Should I trade lead Bell? Now?
Speaker 1: Maybe trade both as a package deal. I've kind of
Speaker 1: stuck here, man, I'm at a three and two record,
Speaker 1: and I need to do something. Well, it's funny you
Speaker 1: bring this topic up, because we are going to address
Speaker 1: it in the very next segment in detail. It's a
Speaker 1: little tip off. Three hot questions coming up. One of
Speaker 1: them involves those guys. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented
Speaker 1: by Devonies on a Man. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly,
Speaker 1: our number two. Many thanks for our decade long sponsor
Speaker 1: grain Belt Premium, the official beer Fantasy Football. Do not
Speaker 1: forget to play the free crush charts challenge at grain
Speaker 1: belt dot com. When two thousand dollars in a trip
Speaker 1: to Manny's Steakhouse for our winner's banquet in January, one
Speaker 1: of the highlights of my year. Many thanks for our
Speaker 1: friends at the Brewery Shawn Ryan, Brett, Moss Lee Windinger,
Speaker 1: and of course the owners Ted and Jody Marty, and
Speaker 1: at Manny's general manager Dave Wilson, a fantasy player himself
Speaker 1: and a regular listener to this show. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to talk fantasy with Dave. Won't that be great? And
Speaker 1: if now you may try to subvert, you know what
Speaker 1: he'll want to talk about. Alvin Camery. He is a
Speaker 1: huge Saints fan. He grew up he grew up in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, huge Saints fan. He will love to talk.
Speaker 1: Bend your ear on Alvin Kamara. Brian's right there with
Speaker 1: I'm sure you are looking forward to it. More that
Speaker 1: it'll be very special for everybody involved. Dave, let's meet
Speaker 1: and talked about yet. Question number one, by the way,
Speaker 1: side note our Crush Charts Challenge winner from last week,
Speaker 1: Kurt la Fontaine. So Kurt will be joining like a
Speaker 1: Cajun name as well. It does funny Kurt la Fontaine.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get Dave to whip up some gumbo.
Speaker 1: I love gumbo. I am not sucking the head of
Speaker 1: Frankly anything, so you know, and it's not what gumbo is.
Speaker 1: It doesn't gumbo have to deal with the crawfish quotes
Speaker 1: hacking your way at the keyboard right now. I hope
Speaker 1: I didn't screw up that that drop for the morning
Speaker 1: show right there. Um, I'm not. I'm not. That's the bit, wasn't.
Speaker 1: Doesn't the gumbo have the crawfish in it and then
Speaker 1: you snap the head off and you suck the brains
Speaker 1: out of the shell. I'm not doing that under any circumstances.
Speaker 1: You gotta get better humbo. Got some voodoo gumbo there.
Speaker 1: That's some bad gumbo. Question number one is Larry Fitzgerald droppable? Brian?
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for Larry, one of the best
Speaker 1: receivers of all time fifteen year career, eighteen quarterbacks he's had.
Speaker 1: Not one of them was good except Kurt Warner what
Speaker 1: I can remember. John Skelton, come on, so sadly he
Speaker 1: is droppable in fantasy. When he's out here for this
Speaker 1: the game this weekend, he should just stay stay home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just go to your house. Yeah. But he is droppable,
Speaker 1: and it's not because of him. It's because the team
Speaker 1: is bad and Josh Rosen looks awful awful ten last
Speaker 1: week he Josh Allen was rightfully picked over him in
Speaker 1: my opinion. But anyway, fits is droppable. That say something
Speaker 1: better than that. Well, everybody knows that the Carolina Reaper
Speaker 1: is the hottest pepper in the world. This is like
Speaker 1: a standard halapeno question. Though, Yeah, he's droppable. Um. When
Speaker 1: I looked yesterday, he was down to ownership in ESPN
Speaker 1: legs with eleven percent of people dropping him. This week,
Speaker 1: people have already picked up on this. They're dropping him.
Speaker 1: I dropped him in one of my leagues and I look,
Speaker 1: I was I got this one wrong. I really thought
Speaker 1: that he was going to be good this year, and
Speaker 1: what I didn't see coming was a hamstring injury that
Speaker 1: he was gonna try to play through for three straight weeks.
Speaker 1: I was gonna deeply limit his his abilities. I didn't
Speaker 1: think Sam Bradford would be so bad he'd be benched
Speaker 1: in two games. It was. It's all been Everything that
Speaker 1: could go wrong with that offense has gone wrong. Um,
Speaker 1: I think Josh Rosen hasn't looked bad. I think he's
Speaker 1: just looked man and he's learning on the job. By
Speaker 1: the way, tough matchup this week, and next week he
Speaker 1: gets Denver and Chris Harris out of the slot, you
Speaker 1: can't start him, and then two weeks after that it's
Speaker 1: a buy. So when I looked over the lext month
Speaker 1: of games, I believe he will have a starters grade
Speaker 1: and probably only a see one time in the next
Speaker 1: month of games. I can find that on the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that his schedule after the bye eases
Speaker 1: up significantly, So if you see any life out of
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald or Josh Rose full weeks, that's the time
Speaker 1: to pick him up. Is around the buy when really,
Speaker 1: really people have gotten off the wagon. Question number two,
Speaker 1: it looks like Dalvin Cook's finally healthy. Are you buying
Speaker 1: low or are you just glad you didn't draft him?
Speaker 1: Matt um Kirk Cousins is dropping back to throw the
Speaker 1: ball a league high seventent of snaps. His average time
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand is two point six seconds,
Speaker 1: which is the league's lowest time. That's because the offensive
Speaker 1: line has been so brutal and there's no proof that
Speaker 1: suddenly they're going to be able to run block. If so,
Speaker 1: you can, if you can buy insanely low, like super
Speaker 1: super low, I'd probably do it. But the Vikings defense
Speaker 1: needs to come around. They need to feature the running
Speaker 1: game more, and it's got to be a dirty low price.
Speaker 1: So only only if it's like the lowest price possible.
Speaker 1: Uh so is that a are you buying low or
Speaker 1: are you just glad you didn't draft? I'm buying really
Speaker 1: really really really really I don't recall there being a
Speaker 1: series of really's in that's that question. You decide the answer,
Speaker 1: then all right, you're wrong. Okay, I'm glad I didn't
Speaker 1: draft him, but I do want to buy alow on him.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna yeah, Well you can be glad you can
Speaker 1: draft him. I'm glad and draft him because now I
Speaker 1: can buy low on him. That's true. I suppose so wow,
Speaker 1: So Brian's gonna get two right answers. That's right, you're
Speaker 1: gonna going one question. I found the loophole. Uh No,
Speaker 1: I think he, like Matt said that the Vikings are
Speaker 1: passing a ton. They do not want to do that.
Speaker 1: Throughout the season. I see the defense improving, I see
Speaker 1: Cook's health improving, and uh I really just look when
Speaker 1: I'm saying by a low now looking later in the season,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to make to the championship. You know the semifinals,
Speaker 1: You've got the Dolphins and the Lions, both indoors. Those
Speaker 1: are a plus matchups for Cook if he's healthy, so
Speaker 1: you can get him pretty cheap and he's worth stashing
Speaker 1: for those leader games. Cook is extremely talented. And next year,
Speaker 1: in this offseason, what are the Vikings gonna finally pay
Speaker 1: attention to because they have no I offensive line have
Speaker 1: to one way or another. This is going to be
Speaker 1: a better offensive line for the Vikings next season. He
Speaker 1: will be Dalvin Cocall be inside my top ten in
Speaker 1: my pre in our preseason shows next August. That doesn't
Speaker 1: help us. Now for now, it's all the reasons that
Speaker 1: Matt said that I've got a lot of concerned about
Speaker 1: an extremely talented player running in an offense that's not
Speaker 1: does not appear to be geared for his strengths, and
Speaker 1: the offensive line just can't help anybody. And then I
Speaker 1: went to the schedule, and while Brian is correct, those
Speaker 1: weeks weeks fifteen and sixteen look great between here and there,
Speaker 1: it's not good between now and week eleven. For the
Speaker 1: next six weeks, I believe he will be a strong
Speaker 1: confidence start in one game Detroit in week nine. All
Speaker 1: the rest are gonna be flex or bench. And that's
Speaker 1: it for Dalvin Cook. About Green Bay, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. We'll see, uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think he'll I think he'll be sitting at probably a
Speaker 1: C grade for that game and then the Patriots to
Speaker 1: you don't like, uh thinking, I see a lot of
Speaker 1: pass if I can, you have to pass to play,
Speaker 1: you know, try to keep up with Tom Brady in
Speaker 1: that game. I don't know. I I just I don't
Speaker 1: see enough opportunities here for me to start him until
Speaker 1: I get to the playoffs. And I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs with Dalvin Cook again, Eli Elie
Speaker 1: back in a bad spot. Tavanny's hot question number three
Speaker 1: Leavy on Bell's reported timetable to return is quickly approaching.
Speaker 1: Should his owners sell now on the prospects of his
Speaker 1: return or hold tight and cash in on his possible
Speaker 1: return to glory? Brian, Well, there's kind of two scenarios here, right,
Speaker 1: Either you own James Conner or you don't. As the
Speaker 1: Bell owner. If you don't own James Conner, you clearly
Speaker 1: try to sell him to the James Conner owner. You
Speaker 1: can get a nice return, I believe. But if you
Speaker 1: own both, well, yeah, and and our caller e and
Speaker 1: Albert Lee does own both. But for the premise of
Speaker 1: this question, just to keep this focused, the premise of
Speaker 1: this question is you don't own both, you have, You've
Speaker 1: got Bell, and what should you do with him? Are
Speaker 1: you holding? Are you selling? Oh man stuff? This is
Speaker 1: a hot question. I'm selling just because question number three
Speaker 1: hot and it's still too I'm holding because they're gonna
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin historically has always used one. Back back in
Speaker 1: the days when Bell was suspended in de' Angela, Uh de' angela,
Speaker 1: Williams was going off, you thought they'd do a time share.
Speaker 1: They didn't. When Bill came back, Bell got all the carries.
Speaker 1: I see that happening again. So I'm gonna sell Bill.
Speaker 1: That question confused me. You this is not that hard.
Speaker 1: You own Levy and Bell. Are you selling him now
Speaker 1: on the prospects of return or are you holding him?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Matt Chart? You didn't you
Speaker 1: You hit the Carolina Reaper, the hottest pepper in the world.
Speaker 1: You did it, and the Carolina Reaper has been known
Speaker 1: to cause brain damage in people, and did it? Just did?
Speaker 1: We've had our first ever meltdownt meltdown over a brianage
Speaker 1: Brian damage. I like it. It's possible that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've maybe even hit the Dragon's Breath pepper, which preliminary
Speaker 1: testing of the hybrid Dragon's Breath gives it a two
Speaker 1: point four million Scoville heat and it's which blows the
Speaker 1: Carolina Reaper out of the water. So I mean, this
Speaker 1: is it. But you've waited six weeks seven if you
Speaker 1: include the bye week, So why would you bail on
Speaker 1: Levyan Bell? Now? If you're going to sell there are
Speaker 1: about three other times to do it earlier in the
Speaker 1: season when he announced he was coming back in week seven,
Speaker 1: he had a peek in value. When the team announced
Speaker 1: they were trying to get a trade for him, he
Speaker 1: had a little peak in value. You've come this far,
Speaker 1: Stay put. Levian Bell is going to take you to
Speaker 1: a fantasy title. Sell, baby, Sell. We don't know when
Speaker 1: or if he will ever her come back, And most importantly,
Speaker 1: when he comes back, who's to say is even gonna
Speaker 1: be on the field, let alone the workhorse back that
Speaker 1: he was in the past. James Conner by virtually any metric,
Speaker 1: has been as good or better than Levy on Bell.
Speaker 1: Now when he comes back, can you guys tell me
Speaker 1: that is Levy on Bell and shape it? Has you
Speaker 1: been working out? I don't know. Does he know this
Speaker 1: year's playbook? But we don't know. Are there are there
Speaker 1: organizational grudges against Levy on Bell? We do know, yes,
Speaker 1: is the answer offensive line spoke out about him. Check
Speaker 1: so many question marks about Levian Bell, and you can
Speaker 1: still good value. You can turn him into his starting
Speaker 1: running back in this league. Something you can help you
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe there's a scenario where everything breaks Levy
Speaker 1: on Bell's way perfectly, But if if any part of
Speaker 1: it doesn't. You're stuck get out now on Levy on
Speaker 1: Bell unless you're Ian Albert Lee and you've got both guys. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've got both guys like he does, in that case,
Speaker 1: I think you're just sitting hold and you just see
Speaker 1: how this thing plays out. Now. You know you have
Speaker 1: the luxury, but most people don't have that. Lee, Are
Speaker 1: you squared away? Yeah, I'm pretty much so. I think
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about trading them, see if I
Speaker 1: could get like maybe a running back and wide receiver. Humbo. Yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm all for finding out what you can get for Bell.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think you could get
Speaker 1: at the high end for Levy on Bell just a
Speaker 1: straight up running back trade. What do you think you
Speaker 1: could get? I think Joe Mixon. God, No, you can't
Speaker 1: get Mixing because he's an RB one. Can you get
Speaker 1: a James White? Yes? Um, can you get a Jordan
Speaker 1: Howard and a receiver? Were about to talk to Jordan Howard.
Speaker 1: If you're looking to get a good back and a
Speaker 1: quality receiver, Howard is the guy that you can buy
Speaker 1: really dirt cheaper quality wide receiver that would be and
Speaker 1: that that's that's one of my targets was Howard and
Speaker 1: maybe like a Tyreek Hill that that one of the
Speaker 1: other owners has and maybe do like a combo something
Speaker 1: like that. My only thing is that I'm afraid that
Speaker 1: he's gonna get like hurt or something like that during
Speaker 1: the season, and then I'm stuck with him and he
Speaker 1: has no value. I mean, which which got Wait which
Speaker 1: guy you're talking about getting hurt? He's talking about Bell Bell? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well then you got Connor. I mean, that's the beauty
Speaker 1: of holding both and why unless I can If I'm
Speaker 1: if I'm in your shoes, and let's say get a
Speaker 1: really good deal on Bell, you're in the You're in
Speaker 1: the perfect position to just hold and play this and
Speaker 1: watch this thing play out, knowing you've got the starter
Speaker 1: in the backup on extremely high functioning offense. So I
Speaker 1: think that if you can get a ton for Bell,
Speaker 1: still great, go do it. But Dalvin Cook is another
Speaker 1: guy to pay with the receiver. If you're trying to
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get a two for one and
Speaker 1: you want to get the heavy end, uh, Howard Cook,
Speaker 1: those are bylo running back un back. I just think
Speaker 1: you can get more. I think get more for them.
Speaker 1: I can't get more for Bell. People still think Bell
Speaker 1: is just this special back who's gonna power to them
Speaker 1: through the playoffs. And he's always been a special back.
Speaker 1: James Connor is just a special Apparently it doesn't take
Speaker 1: that much. Wow, let's go back to the matchups. Do
Speaker 1: we have time? Yeah we can. We can squeeze in
Speaker 1: the match up here Chicago taking on the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Brian the I want to start on the Miami side.
Speaker 1: It's all bad. This isn't an offense that's really struggling,
Speaker 1: and here comes the hottest defense in the NFL. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody to start here. They are all
Speaker 1: on the bench. That's that's that simple against the Bears defense,
Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill might even play. That means Brock Osweiler. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that knocks out any consideration. Teams are the passing game.
Speaker 1: Teams are throwing seventy percent of the time on Chicago
Speaker 1: because you just cannot run against that front seven. So
Speaker 1: you're not laying the running backs and you're just Kenny
Speaker 1: Stills is the one guy you might want to talk about,
Speaker 1: but he's too boomer Bus, so he's the Miami on
Speaker 1: the bench. Uh Over to the Bears. Just talked about
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard. I'm gonna give him an a in this matchup.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a big bounce back game here. The Dolphins
Speaker 1: run defense is atrocious, so bad it had me touting
Speaker 1: Mark Walton as a take home last week, but Joe
Speaker 1: Mixing took all the work, had a great game. They've
Speaker 1: been given up a lot to running back, so I'm
Speaker 1: giving Howard an a and three Cohen to see. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jalen Shard, James White, and Blo Powell all went for
Speaker 1: re fifty receiving yards against the Dolphins, so Cohen is startable. UH.
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel and Allen Robinson both get to see. And
Speaker 1: it's because of Xavien Howard, who just shuts down anyone
Speaker 1: on the boundaries. Doesn't play the slot a whole lot.
Speaker 1: Um Robinson has played out of the slot a lot,
Speaker 1: so Howard has been the slot three percent of the time.
Speaker 1: So basically, whoever's in the slot has hope in this game.
Speaker 1: Howard's gonna shout out the outside guys, so they both
Speaker 1: get to see. I'm not sure who's gonna run out
Speaker 1: of a lot more uh, and then um Trey Burton
Speaker 1: the last guy. He gets a c as well. Miami
Speaker 1: has been tough against uh tight ends so far. Burton
Speaker 1: only had four targets and two catches in the last
Speaker 1: last game. But I think he's the most viable pass
Speaker 1: catching option in this game. But Trubisky on the bench,
Speaker 1: there's not need to score a lot in this game. Say, well,
Speaker 1: they may not. You know, Trabiski is fascinating because of
Speaker 1: the six touchdowns before the bye, but we've got, you know,
Speaker 1: his previous whatever twenty starts that show him to be
Speaker 1: a very inconsistent starter. And I think this is a
Speaker 1: game where you just you just hold off UH. I
Speaker 1: like I like tre Cohen because Xavian Howard is a
Speaker 1: guy that you have to start thinking about. Xavien Howard
Speaker 1: goes on Allen Robinson, trecoh and gets far in fear
Speaker 1: of your coverage. And I think this might be another case,
Speaker 1: a little bit like two weeks ago, where trec And
Speaker 1: ends up ends up being the highest scoring receiver on
Speaker 1: the team. They will put a Robin the slot a lot,
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a trend. Now all the all
Speaker 1: the premium receivers are running out of the scene. Green
Speaker 1: is doing it more. Ye so, but yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think Cohen's a sneaky playing this one. I like it.
Speaker 1: You didn't touch on Gore and Kenyan Drake directly, but
Speaker 1: let me just mention this. Parents haven't given up a
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown this year, and their third in rushing yards
Speaker 1: per game. It's a It's a terrible matchup for two
Speaker 1: guys that are splitting carries and have been deeply inconsistent
Speaker 1: and and really underwhelming fantasy starters, Matty. When we come back,
Speaker 1: Buffalo takes on Houston. Deshaun Watson is I think is
Speaker 1: looking like he's rounding into form, but he gets a sneaky,
Speaker 1: competent Buffalo secondary. This is true when we When when
Speaker 1: we come back, will you tell us all about it?
Speaker 1: I will, Oh, that would be great. Thanks. This is
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, green Bill Premium on the Fans. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Hey,
Speaker 1: We've got a great deal going at fanball where you
Speaker 1: can get all my player rankings for free, and we

Speaker 1: player rankings and explanations for each guy. A lot of
Speaker 1: sites will publish just a list of names in a row.
Speaker 1: We actually explained how we got to their rankings, so
Speaker 1: you can decide for yourself whether or not you agree. Also,
Speaker 1: if you go to fanball dot com slash Radio, you
Speaker 1: gotta buy one, get one on our signature thirty thousand
Speaker 1: dollar contest for week six. Just build a lineup register.
Speaker 1: When you pay for one lineup, I will buy your
Speaker 1: next lineup. Buy one, get one, and only works if
Speaker 1: you go through fanball dot com dot com slash radio.
Speaker 1: If you go to fanball dot com and you just

Speaker 1: But if you go to slash radio, you get to
Speaker 1: buy one, get one, and that's the way you want
Speaker 1: to approach it. For sure, I will pay for the
Speaker 1: next one. And if you're anything like me as you're
Speaker 1: constructing the lineup, you're always liked. I really like this
Speaker 1: other variation of my lineup. Here's a way to get
Speaker 1: the second one. You know what I'm doing with the
Speaker 1: get one free, I'm putting it in an auction. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you can do that. Really, what we're doing we're just
Speaker 1: funding your account the five bucks. It's five bucks that
Speaker 1: you can spend anywhere you want I'll talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the auction is the best is it's
Speaker 1: the most fun you can have playing fantasy football period.
Speaker 1: Are the auctions at Famia. I'm gonna talk more about
Speaker 1: that later. Let's jump into the matchups. Buffalo taking on Houston.
Speaker 1: For the Buffalo offense, there's honestly, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: to like here, and I'm interested in whether or not
Speaker 1: you've got any starting grades, including Leshan McCoy. I've got
Speaker 1: a C grade on Leshan McCoy. The Texans just held
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott to eighty four total yards on twenty seven touches.
Speaker 1: McCoy and the Bills are like a less scary version
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys offense. So mccoyle probably get the volume
Speaker 1: that Elliott saw, but that's it. That he's maybe eight
Speaker 1: yards and Coin flips chance at a touchdown and that's it.
Speaker 1: And I don't really like it that much. On the
Speaker 1: other side, well, everybody else on Buffalo on the bench,
Speaker 1: by the way, on the other side, I'm giving Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson a see that's it, yep, because he was limited
Speaker 1: in practice all week and the Bill's defense has held
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, and
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. Mariota to to total passing touchdowns. I guess
Speaker 1: the bright spot is that the Bills have allowed the
Speaker 1: ninth most rushing yards two quarterbacks this year, and Watson
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and rushing yards four quarterbacks. So I'm
Speaker 1: only giving him a C because the injury and Buffalo's
Speaker 1: defense is actually pretty good. Uh, DeAndre Hopkins is getting
Speaker 1: a B grade. Hopkins should get shadowed by trade Davious White,
Speaker 1: who's actually been very good this year. He's only allowed
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighteen yards on eighteen targets this season,
Speaker 1: and no wide receiver has scored against him, and he
Speaker 1: covered digs Davante Adams and Corey Davis in the last
Speaker 1: three weeks, so it's a pretty good receiver. He's he's
Speaker 1: not giving up a touchdown. That's great, So he gets
Speaker 1: the B. Will Fuller gets a See he's not quite
Speaker 1: over the hamstring injury, as they deployed him as a
Speaker 1: decoy last week. He played a of the snaps but
Speaker 1: only had three targets in the game. Still, if he's
Speaker 1: suddenly feeling better, he's a will Fuller Boom potential in
Speaker 1: a given week, and then Kiki CUTEI I'm very upset
Speaker 1: about the pronunciation of his name, by the way. First,
Speaker 1: I want to call him keek why, just because that's
Speaker 1: how it looks a just like how I want to
Speaker 1: call the Jacksonville wide receiver deed uh. Second, how is
Speaker 1: this qute? Are we clipping que pons? Is it kirk cusins?
Speaker 1: Come on? Either way. He's averaging eleven targets per game
Speaker 1: and he gets a C grade this week. He ran
Speaker 1: arounte on forty two of Watson's forty five dropbacks in
Speaker 1: week five. How about that all twenty two of his
Speaker 1: targets have been short, though they've all been within twenty
Speaker 1: yards of the line of scrimmage. He's a possession guy.
Speaker 1: He's not a deep ballplayer, but ppr, Hey just count baby,
Speaker 1: it counts for sure. The running game is on the
Speaker 1: bench both Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue. Lamar Miller looks
Speaker 1: like he's back from a chest injury this week, which
Speaker 1: means he's going to probably slot in his the top runner.
Speaker 1: Alfred Blue last week had twenty carries but only forty
Speaker 1: six yards. However, on the flip side, eight receptions for
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighteen yards, So Blues the pass catcher now,
Speaker 1: but Lamar Miller is still holding the running game down
Speaker 1: and it's just absolutely, just just a void. I think
Speaker 1: that's the way to go. Absolutely. Carolina takes on Washington.
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's in a grade. The Redskins secondary looked absolutely
Speaker 1: lost on Monday night, and it's now three straight games
Speaker 1: in which the Redskins have allowed multiple passing touchdowns. Josh
Speaker 1: Norman was benched in that game, and you know who
Speaker 1: knows about his status here and where his head is
Speaker 1: at this point. Newton, by the way, suddenly with a
Speaker 1: plethora of semi competent receiving options, Greg Olsen returns for
Speaker 1: this game. D J. Morris showing signs of life, Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel just made the best play of his entire professional career,
Speaker 1: and Jarius writes a chain mover. Cam Newton's got a
Speaker 1: bunch of options right now. They don't stand a chance though,
Speaker 1: because this is a Josh Norman revenge game. Well there,
Speaker 1: it is a Josh Norman revenge game if he's on
Speaker 1: the field for it, if he's still in the league. Um,
Speaker 1: Devin Funchis gets a b grade. If history is any indication,
Speaker 1: Fungi will most often line up against the best of
Speaker 1: Washington's corners. And that's not Josh Norman, that's Quentin Dunbar.
Speaker 1: Dunbar's almost as tall as Funges. He's like six ft two.
Speaker 1: He's very tall for cornerbacks, making this a tricky matchup
Speaker 1: for funchs um it's been speed guys that have beaten
Speaker 1: the Redskins receivers, not the physical ones. Like last week's game,
Speaker 1: Trey Kwan Smith speed guy got the love, not Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: as one example, and there are many others throughout throughout
Speaker 1: the Redskins years. So far, it's the speed guys that
Speaker 1: have better luck. So I'm just it's a lukewarm B
Speaker 1: grade on Devin Funch's see grade on Greg Olson in
Speaker 1: his return because the Redskins have allowed the fewest yards
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Olson has only scored twice in his
Speaker 1: last sixteen games, and he got the injury issues that
Speaker 1: have contributed him and he's only he's only top three
Speaker 1: catches or thirty three yards once in his last nine games.
Speaker 1: So we need to see a little more production. And
Speaker 1: this doesn't necessarily look like a spot for it. Going
Speaker 1: to the running game, Christian McCaffrey gets a B grade here.
Speaker 1: Redskins are allowing the sixth fewest rushing yards per game
Speaker 1: and the high water mark for any runner against Washington
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins sixty one yards. That's it. They've also been
Speaker 1: tough on receiving backs, allowing the eighth fewest yards to
Speaker 1: receiving backs, and they haven't allowed to touchdown through the
Speaker 1: air at all this year. Excellent pass catching backs like
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Nikeem hinds A David Johnson posted fifteen yards receiving,
Speaker 1: negative two yards receiving and thirty scoreless yards receiving against Washington.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who's an, feels like a guy you start
Speaker 1: every week. This matchup is actually shockingly tricky for him.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Redskin side where I don't like
Speaker 1: really many people here the whole passing game except Jordan
Speaker 1: Reid is on the bench. All three of Washington starting
Speaker 1: receivers or game time decisions, and I don't think you
Speaker 1: want to start any of them anyway, because they've all
Speaker 1: been dreadful. Um, So we're we're gonna we're gonna keep
Speaker 1: all the receivers on the bench. Alex Smith is obviously
Speaker 1: struggling a lot himself here. Uh. And then Jordan Read,
Speaker 1: I'm keeping with a B grade because you do have
Speaker 1: the injuries to Richardson, Dockson and Crowder. That passing game
Speaker 1: has to go through Jordan Reid. The Panthers let the
Speaker 1: two best tight ends they faced this year post good games.
Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford posted a seventy four yard game. Austin Hooper
Speaker 1: put up sixty yards and a touchdown. So I like
Speaker 1: Jordan Read, I don't like any other part of the
Speaker 1: passing game. Adrian Peterson comes in as a game time decision.
Speaker 1: He is dealing with ankle, knee, and shoulder injuries. By
Speaker 1: the way, sell now, the Adrian is breaking down before
Speaker 1: our eyes. Sell now on Adrian Peterson was over after
Speaker 1: that first look bad. He said he's going to sign
Speaker 1: with the Vikings again to retire. I think that's it
Speaker 1: might happen next week. It could happen next week. Carolina
Speaker 1: presents a tough challenge anyway. They've given Hi the fourth
Speaker 1: fewest rushing attempts per game and a healthy uh four
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry. I gotta see grade on
Speaker 1: Adrian he'll. I think he starts this game because he
Speaker 1: is an iron man, but I don't love the matchup.
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson may not go as well. He is also
Speaker 1: a game time decision and slumping badly. He in the
Speaker 1: first two games. Chris Thompson had two twenty one total
Speaker 1: yards in those two games, and then over the last
Speaker 1: two all the way down to just seventy nine yards.
Speaker 1: He hasn't top two point eight yards per carry since
Speaker 1: the opener. And um Caroline is good against receiving backs.
Speaker 1: They've got Thomas Davis back Lukey Keiekley are excellent at
Speaker 1: guarding backs out of the backfield. So I can't even
Speaker 1: recommend Chris Thompson for a receiving angle in this game.
Speaker 1: He is on the bench, and you guys know I
Speaker 1: love Chris Thompson. I love to find ways to get
Speaker 1: him into my lineup. I don't think this is the week,
Speaker 1: especially with the injury. Next matchup, there were Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Denver Broncos Bryant. It looks like
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is gonna be available, Brandon Cooks are going
Speaker 1: to be available. That's huge for this and it vaults
Speaker 1: Jared Cook back into auto start territory for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all Woods Cook's cup all getting a uh Denver secondary
Speaker 1: is shambles and shamble's. I mean, we all saw what
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson did last week and a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: If a Mari Cooper catches ten of ten targets for
Speaker 1: over to sign, you're starting all the Rams receivers. You're
Speaker 1: obviously starting Todd Gurley, he gets an A. Just to
Speaker 1: put things in perspective, Gurley has twenty eight opportunities carries
Speaker 1: and targets inside the opponent's sand yard line. Alvin Kamar
Speaker 1: has twenty two. No other running back is more than fourteen. Wow.
Speaker 1: And then and Jared Goff is an easy a to
Speaker 1: pair with those receivers. Of course, so worth noting Tho're
Speaker 1: supposed to be very cold twenties and snow in Denver.
Speaker 1: Whatever that's worth if we wanted to do some weather terrorism,
Speaker 1: I don't think it changes anything. No, not really. Um
Speaker 1: over to the Denver side. Just three starting grades here,
Speaker 1: both wide receivers, Manny Sanders and various Thomas is gonna
Speaker 1: give it be I like Sanders more in this one,
Speaker 1: uh without to keep to leave we could add another
Speaker 1: cornerback revenge game, this one by the good point. But
Speaker 1: to leave on I are the first three games, I
Speaker 1: think they give up two wide receiver touchdowns. Since then
Speaker 1: six Marcus Peters want Marcus Peter has given up five
Speaker 1: of them. Yea. So ProFootball Focus has the three Chiefs
Speaker 1: Corners graded above Marcus Peters right now? How about that?
Speaker 1: That says a lot. Yeah, so and man Sanders and
Speaker 1: Thomas are startable in this one game. Script should favor
Speaker 1: them as well. They should be chasing points. And then
Speaker 1: the only other starting grade I'm gonna give to his
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay um been money this year and uh he has.
Speaker 1: And this year the Rams are allowing thirteen catches per
Speaker 1: game to a f C West running backs. It's very specific. Well,
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders had thirteen catches from their running backs
Speaker 1: against uh, these Ramps. So you gotta, like Lindsay in
Speaker 1: this one everyging six yards per carry as well, like that,
Speaker 1: and can trust Freeman right now? Unfortunately you can't the usage. Now,
Speaker 1: let's be clear about this, and I think in the
Speaker 1: minds of most of our listeners, Royce Freeman is the
Speaker 1: starting running back in Philip Lindsay is the backup. Nay, nay,
Speaker 1: this is Philip Lindsay. All contrary Philip Lindsay's, you're starting
Speaker 1: running back, and Freeman is more like your goal line
Speaker 1: vulture kind of guy. Although they give Lindsay the they
Speaker 1: give Lindsay carry's in he's he's tiny, He's like five
Speaker 1: ft eight, but they give him carries inside the tent too.
Speaker 1: He's had seventy nine total yards. Are more in every
Speaker 1: full game, Philip Lindsay, He's been not getting kicked out.
Speaker 1: He's a great player. He is a great player. I'll
Speaker 1: mention case Keenum real quick. He is on the bench.
Speaker 1: This could be he's on a short leach a chop
Speaker 1: for chet Killy. It could happen, super flex, it could happen,
Speaker 1: but not mid game. Anybody else on anybody else in
Speaker 1: that match. The tight ends. Uh, let's let's try to
Speaker 1: sneak in one quick matchup Jacksonville taking on Dallas. Matt
Speaker 1: this will be quick both passing games on the bench.
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles and Deak Prescott are among the league's worst
Speaker 1: passers Decksonville, Dacksonville. Dallas and Jacksonville are each among the
Speaker 1: league's best pass defenses. Dallas has allowed the twelveth fewest
Speaker 1: passing yards and the third fewest passing scores. Jacksonville the
Speaker 1: fewest yards and touchdowns through the air. There are no
Speaker 1: plays in the passing game for either team. Read. The
Speaker 1: best receivers in this game are probably both running backs,
Speaker 1: and they both get B starts. T J Yelden gets
Speaker 1: to be He's led the Jags and receptions in two
Speaker 1: of the last three games. He's averaging five point seven
Speaker 1: yards per carry in the games where four Net has missed.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are allowing the sixth fewest rushing yards per
Speaker 1: game this year, though, but the fifth most receptions to
Speaker 1: opposing backs. It's note note ball that they did sign
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles this week, but I'm not sure he gets
Speaker 1: much time here. Uh. Zekiel Elliott's the only other start
Speaker 1: in this game. He gets a B grade. Z can't
Speaker 1: dip below a B this season because he's getting twenty
Speaker 1: five carries in almost every game. But it's not an
Speaker 1: A because the Jags are top eleven in rushing yards,
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and touchdowns allowed to running backs. Still, Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt did end up with eighty seven yards last week,
Speaker 1: and if Kareem Hunt can do it, so can Zeke.
Speaker 1: And if anyone scores a touchdown on the Cowboys offense,
Speaker 1: it will be Zeke. Yeah, it's it's him or nobody. Basically,
Speaker 1: how you get the oddball Jeff Swain from time to time.
Speaker 1: And that's about it. Not much else to talk about
Speaker 1: when we come back. Final set of matchups, premature speculation
Speaker 1: and your phone calls Lightning round looming, final segment of

Speaker 1: Slash bid, b I d bid Premature speculation. These are
Speaker 1: guys who can pick up now that we think will
Speaker 1: be hot waiver wires next week. Beginning with Brian Johnson.
Speaker 1: I might make show history here. This is the most
Speaker 1: longest running, greatest football show of all time. Have you
Speaker 1: ever had a kicker speculation? Yeah? I think we probably,
Speaker 1: but not often. Go grab Legatron if you have space
Speaker 1: on your team. He's not playing kicking this week, he's
Speaker 1: not foot punching in Denver. But you should be back
Speaker 1: next week on the best offense in the NFL and
Speaker 1: he's out there. That's inexplicable if you have kickers in
Speaker 1: your league right now. The only thing that matters for
Speaker 1: kickers really is opportunities, and he gets plenty. All right, Matt,
Speaker 1: who you got? I got Brian's guy, c j Uzoma
Speaker 1: the Suzy. This week he's got a great matchup against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Next week he gets Kansas City, which is just an
Speaker 1: easy matchup as well. The Chiefs have already allowed the
Speaker 1: most tight end yards in the league, and oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, they played Gronk this week, so there's very
Speaker 1: little chance of that going down. So I like c
Speaker 1: j Uzoma for a lot of people who need tight
Speaker 1: end help Cleveland wide receiver. Rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway
Speaker 1: owned it only twenty two of ESPN leagues. Is your
Speaker 1: full time starter because Richard Higgins sprained his in m
Speaker 1: CL and is expected to miss two to four weeks.
Speaker 1: Who does Callaway play in those four weeks? The Chargers
Speaker 1: ranked twenty eighth and fantasy points to wide receivers. That's
Speaker 1: this week, Then the Bucks, who ranked thirty one in
Speaker 1: fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, then the Steelers, who
Speaker 1: ranked thirty and fantasy points to wide receivers, and then
Speaker 1: if it's if it goes four weeks, the Chiefs, who
Speaker 1: ranked twenty one in Fantasy points allowed to wide receivers,
Speaker 1: and by that point the talented rookie receiver could be
Speaker 1: second round or you could just pass by Richard Higgins easily.
Speaker 1: At that point you might be the starter for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Antonio Callaway a very savvy pick
Speaker 1: up this week, great schedule coming up. Let's get our
Speaker 1: final matchups in and then we'll go to the phones
Speaker 1: for lightning round Kansas City taking on New England. I
Speaker 1: know it sounds as simple as just by start everybody,
Speaker 1: and in some ways it kind of is, but there
Speaker 1: are some murky parts of this I want to illuminate.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Kansas City side, where obviously Mahomes
Speaker 1: is an A grade. Travis Kelsey is an A grade
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, though he's been trending downward since scoring three
Speaker 1: times in the first two weeks, and he's gone scoreless
Speaker 1: and three straight games. He hasn't topped sixty one receiving
Speaker 1: yards in three straight games. Patriots have been abysmal against
Speaker 1: the z in receivers, though, and he does have a
Speaker 1: promising matchup against lot cornerback Jonathan Jones. Jonathan Jones is
Speaker 1: one of the fastest slot corners in the league, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't have anywhere near the coverage skills to hang
Speaker 1: with Hill, so I like Hill as an A grade
Speaker 1: as well. Sammy Watkins is a B grade, and actually
Speaker 1: he's been better than Tyreek Hill from a fantasy standpoint
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, and he should get volume.
Speaker 1: The Patriots are allowing almost fifteen receptions per game to
Speaker 1: opposing receivers. That's tied for six mouth sixth most. The
Speaker 1: downside is he will probably get shadow coverage from the
Speaker 1: Patriots best cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Last guy, I want to
Speaker 1: mention Kareem Hunt. You may remember last year's season opener
Speaker 1: between these two teams when Kareem Hunt burst onto the
Speaker 1: scene with two hundred forty six total yards and three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and Hunts carries of increased in every game since the
Speaker 1: opener up to twenty two last week. That should be
Speaker 1: plenty of volume here for as he finds success against
Speaker 1: a mediocre Patriots run defense. A grade for Kareem Hunt.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the other side. Tom Brady obvious a start.
Speaker 1: Normally at this time I would say Rob Gronkowski obvious
Speaker 1: a start, but he hasn't gone over seventy five yards
Speaker 1: or scored in four straight games, so you know there
Speaker 1: are some questions here, right, Well not really. Kansas City
Speaker 1: has allowed the most yards to opposing tight ends and
Speaker 1: the third most tight end reception, So Gronk with ten
Speaker 1: days off to get healthy, love him A grade. Staying
Speaker 1: with the passing game, Julian Edelman a B grade. He
Speaker 1: comes back just in time to face a Kansas City
Speaker 1: secondary that's allowed the fifth most receptions per game, seventh
Speaker 1: the most yards per game to opposing receivers. Kansas City
Speaker 1: slot corner Kendall Fuller got roasted in the first couple
Speaker 1: of games of the season, but he's actually been very
Speaker 1: good sense then, allowing an average of just four catches
Speaker 1: and forty one scoreless yards per games. So, just to
Speaker 1: be grade on Edelman, I'm showing a little bit of
Speaker 1: caution here. What about Josh Gordon. You say ten days
Speaker 1: off to recover from his hamstring injury, but he's still
Speaker 1: questionable the on the injury report. Last time we saw Gordon,
Speaker 1: his targets from Brady had doubled. He had that long
Speaker 1: touchdown double coverage that he scored. Strong matchup on both
Speaker 1: sides of the field or will draw either Stephen Nelson
Speaker 1: on one side or Orlando Scandrick on the other side.
Speaker 1: Both of them are converted slot corners playing effectively out
Speaker 1: of position. I like Josh Gordon a B grade on him.
Speaker 1: Love the running backs, although all note Sony Michelle's questionaboth
Speaker 1: in the injury, but he is expected to play here.
Speaker 1: Michelle's the first Patriots running back to see fifteen plus
Speaker 1: touches in three straight games in three seasons. Gotta go
Speaker 1: back to Lagarrett Blunt and the volume is unlikely to
Speaker 1: be a problem against the defense here, surrendering a league
Speaker 1: worst five point eight yards per carry. I like Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle A. Lott. He is inside my top ten this week.
Speaker 1: James White is inside my top ten for his pass
Speaker 1: catching ability. Kansa City has allowed the second most receptions
Speaker 1: and the most receiving yards to opposing running backs, a
Speaker 1: great opportunity for James White as well. So it was
Speaker 1: as simple as start everyone kind of. I could have
Speaker 1: probably cut three minutes out of that one. San Francisco
Speaker 1: taking on Green Bay Brian Uh Matt Breda probably not
Speaker 1: gonna play well, it's not official yet, it's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna happen, So I'll give alf alf Morris a c here.
Speaker 1: He's likely to get nineteen to twenty touches. The two
Speaker 1: backs that have hit that uh watermark nineteen touches, Adrian
Speaker 1: Pete Gerson and Jordan Howard went for over a hundred
Speaker 1: total yards against the Packers, So Alph is certainly startable
Speaker 1: with no Brida Uh Kyle use check, use check, take
Speaker 1: take on wide receiver preferably in PPR. He's a pass
Speaker 1: catching option. Throw him a wide receiver, but and he
Speaker 1: basically is a wide receiver playing fullback and speaking of
Speaker 1: basically a wide receiver, George Kittle, absolute monster. He gets
Speaker 1: an A. The only nine are worth the only other
Speaker 1: nine are worth talking about Jordan Reed, Kyle Rudolph and
Speaker 1: uh one more tight end of his ilk. Sorry, okay,
Speaker 1: they did all well against the Packers. George is gonna
Speaker 1: do well. They're gonna be chasing points. So Kittle gets
Speaker 1: an A for me over to Green Bay. It's pretty easier.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, easy A, Davante Adams easy A. Um, not
Speaker 1: so easy now with Jon Wallison and Randall Cobb coming
Speaker 1: back in the mix, I'll give them both the sea
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Niners have allowed six wide receiver touchdowns
Speaker 1: h and actually have a very good run defense, So
Speaker 1: I like the pass game a whole lot more. And
Speaker 1: it's a mess that backfield for green Bay, such a mess.
Speaker 1: We thought Aaron Jones was gonna have the breakout game
Speaker 1: last week and an easy matchup, and they just didn't
Speaker 1: give him the ball. They won't stop running Jamal Williams,
Speaker 1: who's getting literally half the yardage on a per touch
Speaker 1: basis from what Aaron Jones is getting, but Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: will not take him off the field. Viking fans can
Speaker 1: thank Mike McCarthy for the Packers not winning like five
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and the Rodgers air. I honestly, I think
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for that. So yeah, all
Speaker 1: backs are on the bench until they figure that out.
Speaker 1: Outside of Melvin Gordon, known other running back has gone
Speaker 1: over fifty five yards against the Niners. So about that
Speaker 1: all of the the bench, and Jimmy Graham also gets
Speaker 1: a bee. Uh. They San Francisco has given up four
Speaker 1: tight end touchdowns already to guys like Dmetrius Harris, Michael Roberts.
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Graham's got a shot. I think he
Speaker 1: does too. He's been up, He's been very good lately.
Speaker 1: Baltimore taking on Tennessee matt Our final matchup of the show. Uh.
Speaker 1: Buck Allen and Alex Collins both on the bench. The
Speaker 1: Titans have allowed the six most rushing yards to running
Speaker 1: backs this season, but they have not allowed a rushing
Speaker 1: or receiving touchdown of the position this year. They're also
Speaker 1: very good against pass catching backs, and that kind of
Speaker 1: leaves Buck Allen who's getting the better end of the
Speaker 1: time share out Um, So both of those guys are
Speaker 1: on the bench. I have Joe Flacco on the bench.
Speaker 1: To Cleveland is an eerie comparison to the Titans past defense.
Speaker 1: Both are better than one might think. The Titans have
Speaker 1: allowed two or twenty five passing yards and just over
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. It's got to be a really
Speaker 1: good matchup for you to start flak out anyway. John
Speaker 1: Brown's the only guy in the Raven side that I
Speaker 1: gave us starting grade two. He gets a C. Brown
Speaker 1: is third in the NFL and yards per catch it
Speaker 1: just a hare under twenty one yards. Unfortunately, he's never
Speaker 1: topped five catches in a game this season, and the
Speaker 1: Titans are in the top ten and yards allowed to
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. Over on the Titan side, They're running
Speaker 1: game is also a mess. Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: both on the bench. The Ravens are top eight in
Speaker 1: every statistical category against runners. They've allowed only one score
Speaker 1: to the position this season. Lewis and Henry are still
Speaker 1: both in a time sharing should be on your bench
Speaker 1: this week, as well as Marcus Mariota also on the bench.
Speaker 1: Coming off a goose egg against the Bills last week,
Speaker 1: Mariota faces a Ravens defense with just oh Man. Now, uh,
Speaker 1: teams are allowing almost forty pass Teams are throwing almost
Speaker 1: forty pass attempts against the Ravens this year. That's super high.
Speaker 1: That's seventh most in the league. But the Ravens are
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth fewest passing yards and the third fewest
Speaker 1: passing scores. So lots of volume against the Ravens, no results.
Speaker 1: So no, no, we don't want to do that With
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. Uh, Corey Davis, he gets a C grade
Speaker 1: almost the desperation see, and we're hoping that the return
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Smith is maybe just a rusty Jimmy Smith.
Speaker 1: But here's what you can expect from Dave Us just
Speaker 1: because he's going to see the most targets top wide
Speaker 1: receivers against the Ravens this year. Antonio Brown sixty two yards,
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry sixty nine yards, Damarius Thomas sixty three yards,
Speaker 1: Juju sixty yards. Do you see a pattern here? Do
Speaker 1: He's gonna get about five catches and about sixty yards
Speaker 1: and a dice roll chance at the score, and maybe
Speaker 1: it's a twelve sided dice roll chance at a score.
Speaker 1: That's it all. Right, it is time for lightning round.
Speaker 1: You guys know the rules for lightning round. One question
Speaker 1: between two players, and we will zip through as many
Speaker 1: calls as we possibly can can't. You've been very patient,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, No problem, uh, Standard leagues? Godwin
Speaker 1: or a healthy Allison? All right? I like Godwin in
Speaker 1: Standard He's a better red zoom threat. All right, in
Speaker 1: a great matchup. Robin, you are next. Hi, I have
Speaker 1: Conn and I was wondering as if trade that's okay?
Speaker 1: Carry on Johnson or Bell? Yes you should trade. Carry on,
Speaker 1: you can Belly if you can get Bell for Carrie
Speaker 1: on Johnson and then have him together with Connor. Yes
Speaker 1: you should do it. Sure that field? Sure? Thank you, Robin.
Speaker 1: Uh great, you are next on the show. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: PPR Tyler Lockett or Chris Godwin? All right? Is that
Speaker 1: one you? I don't know? Is that on me? I'm
Speaker 1: taking Lockett. It's basically been a starter every every in
Speaker 1: every PUD. You scored in every game or every game
Speaker 1: but one this year. Baldwin is not right, that's true,
Speaker 1: practiced in full all week though, Mike. You're next. Morning
Speaker 1: Fellows Standard League. Kyle Rudolph for David and light. I
Speaker 1: gotta go with Matts Guy and Joke who. I like
Speaker 1: the matchup for Rudolph but to swirl, I gave Rudolph
Speaker 1: a b I like Rudolodo, Ryan in uh In Iowa. Hello,
Speaker 1: um Edo Smith or Adrian Peterson in the Scottish Bowl. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a fish pull question. I like it our first
Speaker 1: one of those. That's super cool. I'm still gonna go
Speaker 1: with Adrian because I think the touches will be there,
Speaker 1: all right, Brianna, Hello, Hi, Damis Winston or Russell Wilson. Um,
Speaker 1: I've got I've got Wilson a couple of spots higher,
Speaker 1: although I like both this week. But I've got I've
Speaker 1: got russ a couple of spots hired. What's killing him though?
Speaker 1: Is you guys alluded to no rushing none this year
Speaker 1: for Wilson. Kevin, you're next, marry one and kill one
Speaker 1: Marry Fitzgerald or Chris Higgins for the rest of the
Speaker 1: Sea man, anyone who this year? Yeah, the rest of
Speaker 1: season just way way better. Yeah, Tony your next home
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes Rogers dinged up that knee a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's worth mentioning. In the last game they said he
Speaker 1: he re injured it a little bit so Dr David's
Speaker 1: it was legit convinced he reinjured it years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: circled stuff and all that. I've got. I've got my
Speaker 1: Homes three and Rogers four. This week, Taco, you're next
Speaker 1: the uh non PPR David Jampling or White in a
Speaker 1: shootout non PPR is the keep the key part of
Speaker 1: that question, I think, j right, Yeah, Bill, you're next, uh,
Speaker 1: standard scoring David and Joku or Trade Burden right um,
Speaker 1: sticking with the Joker and Joku. Eric, you're on the
Speaker 1: fan HI Standards League, Tyler Voyd or Jarvis Landry. Oh,
