It is an early morning. By We've got 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.440 Gophers versus Ohio State early kickoff, so we have shifted 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.400 to the early slot. I can't help it last the 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.680 Minnesota Golden sacrificial lambs. Yeah, it's um, it's gonna be bad. 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.760 I think, um that kickoff is I think eleven o'clock. Pregame. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.960 I assume at nine o'clock and that's that's when we 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.759 will wrap up seven at nine o'clock Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.080 Those are the voices of my co host Matt Harrison 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.160 and Brian Johnson. Good morning, guys, Good morning. It is 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.399 my alma mater. By the way, I'm not hating on 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.960 the Gophers that much. I'm just very worried about this matter. No, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.280 my alma mater too, But they're they're playing the number 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.360 three ranked team in in in the nation, so I 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.240 don't like our chances. In particular, the boat is in trouble. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.039 Plenty of get me up over the course of the show, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.760 including take a chance on me. Nine players that you 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.800 can many of them you can pick up off the 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.560 waiver wire that you would not normally start, three hot questions, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.400 premature speculation, all of the matchups, and plenty to get to, 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.920 including some juicy ones, including this one Brian Pittsburgh taking 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.440 on Cincinnati a game that should be an absolute point orgy. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.640 That let's jump right into it. Nothing like a point 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.320 orgy at this hour. Yeah, that's right. It doesn't want 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.840 to point r G at seven a m well fit 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.640 lasted from the previous day. Maybe, yeah, then there you go. Yeah, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.680 let's keep it going. Uh, let's start with James Conner. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.160 Might be the last hurrah for him this year with 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.960 the Levy on Bell expected back. We'll talk more about 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.160 that at LA, but he's getting an AU Miami, the 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.920 abysmal Miami running backs totally hundred seventy eight combo yards 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.400 against Cincinnati last week. So you gotta love James Conner 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.200 in this matchup as the still the loan Bell cow 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.280 Levian Bell totalled three seventy four to touchdown in his 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.920 two meetings with Cincinnati last year, and their defense was 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.280 much better than it is. So Connor easy a as 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.440 and as his Antonio Brown. I'm not even going to 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.520 go into that. You're starting Antonio obviously, Juju in a 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.320 as well. Can I throw in a quick Empire question? Yeah, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.600 Juju v Antonio next year, whether a draft auction re 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.959 drafting first, are spending more on It's it's got to 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:58.120 be Juju next year, right, I don't. I don't think so. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.680 But if they were an empire, if your tie like 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.280 a start up empire leagues, yes, yeah, then I want 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.560 the five or six year age of differential and it 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.520 would be Juju for sure. He's closing the gap, but 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.880 he gets may as well. Uh. The Bengals are allowing 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.760 the fifth most catches to wide receivers. Uh. Devin Fungus 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.320 has had a huge game running out of slot. You 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.520 know Juju should do the same for Pittsburgh Vans. McDonald 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.639 can give him a see only one catch against Atlanta 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.720 last week down, but this is a good matchup. The 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.640 Bengals have allowed a tight end touchdown in three or 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.959 five games this season. Only Carolina, who only has rookie 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.120 Ian Thomas, and the Miami tight ends failed to score 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.000 against the Bengals, So advance is still startable this week. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.600 And Big Ben on the road just gonna get a 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.640 b Uh, you're just passing touchdown totals in his last 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.160 four at Cincinnati to one one zero hasn't top three 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.320 yards in that span. But again, that Bengals defense is 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.720 not as good as it has been passed. And really 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.040 this has Ben's That's very typical of Ben's road games period, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.560 regardless of venue. To one one zero is a lot 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.840 of just who that's who Ben is on the Road's 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.000 kind of BIZMAXI on the road, right, But uh and 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.520 uh over of the Bengal side Joe Mixon, Uh, he 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.800 gets an a. Pittsburgh has allowed the fifth view as 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.560 fantasy points to backs, but they haven't really faced uh 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.560 back at the talent level of mixing, so he's still 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.360 an easy a. Jooe Bernard is out and uh sorry 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.960 about Mark Walton Lasi had two catchers last week, but 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.760 he won't factory here. Probably not all Joe mixing a 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.840 J Green another easy A Pittsburgh allowing more than two 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.440 fifteen yards and one and a half touchdowns per game. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.479 Two wide receivers A J had seven for seventy seven yards. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.960 That's a Jack Pott in his last meeting, with two 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.920 touchdowns the last time he faced the stealer. So you're 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.599 gonna start a J Tyler board. Get Tyler Boyd gets 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.600 another b uh nine plus yards indoor a touchdown in 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.800 three of his last four games. They've been running Green 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.000 out the slot more than Boyd though, and that's why 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.760 struggled a little last week. And Green had the bigger games, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.560 So keeping out on that. So Boyd is not the 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.400 primary slot guy. And then one more past catcher to 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.640 mention is uh C j Uzoma. I like to call 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.920 him Oozy the snaps last week. He is the guy 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.360 with Tyler Eifert gone and only Tam the Bay has 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.440 allowed more fantasy points at tight ends than the Steelers, 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.040 so usually gets a CE. Might borderline be in this 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.040 up point? I wouldn't blame you if you gave him 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.560 a B here again, let's just do that. Let's give 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.680 easy to be and then Andy Dalton multiple touchdowns both 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.480 Stewart matchups last year. That offense is getting better by 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.279 the week, it seems so. He's in and the Steelers 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.680 past defense is terrible. Their thirty yards allowed, their thirty 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.600 second in sorry, thirty one and touchdowns allowed. It's a 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.200 It's a great opportunity for Andy Dalton, my number five 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:35.840 quarterback this week. Matt. Let's go to Seattle taking on Oakland. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.120 This is a London game, so we will not say 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.560 in Oakland, but technically I think Oakland is the host 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.839 um regardless of venue. These have been two middling offenses. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.360 What do you think about their opportunities here? Well, hello governor, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:55.800 welcome to foggy London. Down. Chris Carson gets a B. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.640 The Raiders run defense is Richard the third, as in 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.680 careful not to step in that steaming pile of Richard 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.240 the third. They've allowed the fourth most yards running backs 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.760 and three opponents of topped a hundred yards against them 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.640 so far this year. It's the B. Russell Wilson. It's 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.800 a lot of tosh to think you would drop Russell 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.839 or bench Russell Wilson right now. He hasn't been running 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.039 much this season, but he has thrown for multiple touchdown 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.200 passes in four or five starts. And the Raiders secondary 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.880 is made up of odds and sods, and they have 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.320 allowed multiple passing scores in four or five. Tyler Lockett 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.720 gets a B as well. Three of Lockett's four scores 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.120 this year have come from at least thirty nine yards out. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.680 Five of the nine touchdowns the Raiders have allowed to 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.240 opposing receivers have come on catches of thirty four yards 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.919 or more. That's a spawny outcome for Lockt. Doug Baldwin 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.279 gets a see. He practiced in full all week and 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.240 he played last week, but he might as well honked 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.279 all over the pub with one catch for one yard. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.320 But he's very cag he knows his onions. And the 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.080 Raiders have allowed the fifth most ards to wide receivers 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.599 this year. Let's go to the Raiders side. Marshawn Lynch 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.880 gets an A grade. That's gotta hurt you, right, you're 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.320 very miffed because I've been down on Lynch this year. 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:18.880 I guess that makes me a numpty. Indeed, it done noted, numpty. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.400 This is the revenge game of all revenge games, though 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.720 some might call it an r G bargie, which is 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.840 a heated confrontation. Is Lynch threw himself a patty and 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.240 quit the Seahawks a few years back, and the Raiders 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.360 accepted him warts and all. And if not, it's not 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.480 when hill or when he'll score touchdown, it's he's gonna 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.640 score touchdown. So what will be the celebration this week? 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.480 Will he take the Mickey Willie teaser mock his old 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.080 gaffer Carol? Will he go knees up in the end zone? 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:53.520 You can bet he will be chuffed. Derek Carr gets 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.560 a bench grade. The Raiders have not top twenty one 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.400 point nine of their last ten games, and Seattle has 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.200 allowed the eight fewest passing yards this season and have 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.480 more picks than passing touchdowns allowed. It just so happens 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.600 that Carr has also thrown more picks than scores. Jordy Nelson, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.960 I'm giving him a C grade. He's averaging five catches 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.400 for eighty eight yards over his last three games, thanks 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.080 in part to a long run after catch on a 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.440 touchdown a few weeks ago. He used to be a 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.200 real corker in Green Bay. It looks like he's more 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.440 of a damp squib in Oakland, though, uh Amari Cooper 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.480 is as bent as a nine bob note chart. That's 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.480 what I always say about a Marie Cooper. Yeah, and 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.920 even weeks he's averaging nine catches for a hundred and 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.520 twenty two yards, and odd weeks he's averaging one catch 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:40.440 for thirteen. He's all mouth and no trousers. Every time 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.600 Seattle has faced the team with a good trousers and 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.240 or all mouth. Every time Seattle's faced the team with 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.080 a good wide receiver, that player has done well and 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.640 it's an even week for Mariy Cooper. Have they faced 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.320 any good receivers? Man, it's the Seahawks. It has been 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.480 just crap offense versus crap offense versus crap and say, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.280 finally get the rams and both the receivers get knocked out. Yeah, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.560 I would think Colbert Woods did well and Emmanuel Sanders 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.360 did well. Finally, Jared Cook, he gets a C grade 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.520 away from Oakland. It's been nothing but hard cheese for Cook. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.080 The Seahawks are allowing only forty two yards per game 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.199 to opposing tight ends and only one score of the season. Still, 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.040 Cook is the most targeted player in the NFL inside 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.120 the ten yard line, which I like to call the 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.760 redcoat zone. So I'm gonna give Jared Cook a C grade. Wow, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.560 I thought you were an absolute wanker. Thank you that, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.400 thank you. I'll just want wonk on the pub or 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:46.000 was it honk to vomit? Oh? That's oh yeah, come on, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.040 Arizona goes to Minnesota. I will do the whole thing 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.319 in a Minnesota in as in the voice of a 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.400 Minnesota residents, and so it'll sound just like somebody from 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.840 Minnesota is doing this matchup. How's that? I challenge you 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.319 to do this? Okay, well I live in Minnesota. That 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:10.200 makes it easy. A grades across now there are, there's 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.000 one A grade to be had for the Minnesota Vikings. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.320 You kind of sound like a resident of Arizona, right 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.840 a little bit? Yeah, I do. Sometimes when I do 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.720 out of state radio, they're all bummed out that I 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.520 don't sound like the people from Fargo exactly. I think 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.520 the Vikings will want to try to run the ball 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.160 in this game. They've had a series of tough matchups 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.400 in which they could not run. They haven't had the 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.440 opportunity of Dalvin Cook on the field. They're running the 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.080 fewest rushing plays in the NFL. They've got the fewest 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.760 rushing yards per game. I think maybe third few so 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.320 maybe wrong about the top of my head. Either way, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.880 this is a This is an opportunity for Dalvin Cook 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.000 to get right, and it comes up against a really 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:54.640 wobbly defense including a thirtieth ranking for Arizona and rushing 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.520 yards allowed one under thirty four rushing yards per game 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.600 their last and rushing touchdowns allowed. This feels like a 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.679 very nice opportunity uh for Dalvin Cook in this game. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.640 And not only that, Lottavius Murray could get into the 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.800 action at some point as well. It comes down to 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.640 just rushing touchdowns and who's gonna get the ball at 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.560 the goal line. That's probably Lottavius Murray. So I've got 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.800 C grades on both of these runners under the presumption 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.800 that the Vikings want to try to get to some 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.000 kind of equilibrium with the rushing game and can actually 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.200 be at least a little bit effective. This is their 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.800 weakest run defense they've seen all year by a mile. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.839 Kirk Cousin gets a B grade here. I believe again 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.440 he will throw fewer passes than perhaps any other game. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.520 Cardinals run defense as bad. As I mentioned Kirk's two 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.480 low volume games, He's averaged two d seventy yards and 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.280 one and a half touchdown passes, and that puts him 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:51.520 firmly into B grade territory. Stefon Diggs draws Patrick Peterson 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.439 for this matchup, and Diggs has been great, so has Peterson. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:02.400 Peterson is allowed eighty nine receiving yards this year total 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.640 all year, eighty nine receiving yards and coverage. I don't 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.880 know why you'd throw it the only good corner they 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.520 have though. That's the thing, So I you know, and 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.199 I believe that there's no reason for Patrick Peterson to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.280 not take stuff on Diggs. He doesn't work the slot. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.599 He's not gonna go on the Kwan treadwell. So the 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.240 path of least resistance goes through Adam Feeling with a 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.040 clear A grade here. He won't get Patrick Peterson. He 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.280 will get utility safety Buddha Baker, which is a strong 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.880 advantage for Feeling. Another very big game coming potentially here. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.960 The Cardinals defense has only faced one top twenty passing offense, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.760 and that team was the Rams, and they threw for 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.440 three fifty yards and all the three of the receivers 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.640 posted strong games. I like theeeling in this matchup. Kyle 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.920 Rudolph also a beast start. He's caught at least five 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:53.360 passes in four straight games. Cardinals allowed Jordan's Red, Trey Burton, 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.840 and George Kittle to average roughly four grabs and sixty 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.439 two yards. Those are solid numbers for Rudolph at always 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.240 an end zone threat. Let's go to the Arizona side, 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.080 where there's not a lot to talk about. The entire 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.360 passing game is on the bench. Not that the Vikings 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.440 secondary has been as elite as last year, but it'll 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.400 be plenty good enough to contain Josh Rosen, who justin 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.600 has shown basically no explosiveness aside from that one long 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.360 touchdown to Christian Kirk. And then yet in Larry Fitzgerald 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.280 hobbled by his ongoing hamstring injury, and and I think 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.840 Kirk gets shadow coverage from Xavier Roads were not starting 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.400 any of them. David Johnson gets a B grade. Vikings 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.000 remained very tough to run agn against. They're having a 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.600 lot of rushing touchdown all year. They're only giving up 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.760 eighty ground yards per game. But where Johnson can be 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.959 effectivest through the air. His average receiving game hasn't been 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.640 great to this point. They haven't used him that much, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.040 but the Vikings have allowed forty four or more receiving 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.280 yards of four different backs, and I think David Johnson 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.920 will ultimately potentially have more air yards than ground yards 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.600 in this game. Let's take a break when we come back, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.160 take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.960 a starting a lot of all of them available to start, 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.959 some of them on the waiver wire this week. We'll 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.920 tell you there. When we come back to Fantasy Football 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:22.880 Weekly on the fans, we can go dancing. We can 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:32.440 go up and again, take a chance on me. Nine 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.880 players that you would not normally start, but you will 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.440 this week, and several of these guys available on the 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.720 waiver wire. One of mine definitely isn't, and two of 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.680 mine now probably are, depending on the league. I'm gonna 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.080 fall asleep. I know this is bad. This is not 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.880 not seven, am, baby, that's not that's not cool for seven. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.240 I'm nervous about how this is gonna work out. Start 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.040 at the quarterback position, Brian, all Right, I got Sam 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.160 Donald at home against the Colts. The Colts secondary is 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.200 incredibly banged up the top in the Corners on their 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.280 depth chart eight Harrison, Kenny Moore, and Quincy Wilson all 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.080 questionable to play, as are both starting safeties. Clayton gathers 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.520 In Malik Hooker. Uh, they might have the dead Hooker 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:24.520 is playing secondary. Yeah, but so many in the drunks 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.920 of bars. Oh boy. So the Colts are one of 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.280 ten teams yielding forty pass attempts per game to opposing quarterbacks. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.240 I like that for Donald in this game and two 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.280 weeks ago, Deshaun Watson rushed for a touchdown. Last week, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.800 Tom Brady rush for a touchdown against the Colts. So 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.200 they cover both ends of the spectrum forment, So any 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.520 quarterback can run for a touchdown. Culture So I'm calling 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.320 that for Donald. But now like Donald in this game? 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:51.600 All right, Yeah, I'm going with Baker Mayfield of the 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.000 Browns against the Chargers. Baker faced off against the better 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:59.800 defense last week Baltimore Ravens. He tallied three forty two 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:01.880 r it's through the air and twenty three on the ground. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.160 The Chargers not as good. They've given up the fifth 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.160 most touchdown passes this season at just over two per game. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.360 And due to injuries to both pass rushers and the secondary, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:19.280 they're susceptible to baker mania. Baker Mania, you say, Jamis 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.160 Winston makes us first to start of the year against Atlanta, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.600 a team that has allowed four straight opposing quarterbacks to 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.080 throw for exactly three touchdowns. I would happily take three touchdowns. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.680 Might take a chance on meat quarterback three of the 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.360 last four to face Atlanta three hundred thirty five yards 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:43.680 or more. Winston faced Atlanta one time last year. Three touchdowns, 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.600 three hundred passing yards Jamis Winston. Or take a chance 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.640 on meat quarterback. Let's go to the running back position, Brian, 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.640 I need some help here, guys, I'm actually going with 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.920 a fullback. Is the first fullback in takeom history? Well 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.760 we go back aways? You know, Michaels was probably Aaron Ripkowski. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.160 Probably guy like, hey, you're gonna get a goal line 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.800 dive for the Packers. I'm sure someone was in good hands. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:15.760 So what we got? Kyle check used check use check 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.720 us check of the San Francisco forty Niners going up 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.399 against Green Bay on Monday night. Uh no, Matt Brito 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.679 looks like likely. No Pierre Garson, no Trent Taylor and 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.159 sadly Marky's goodwin has been made of glass all the 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.640 year or so. Check use check might be the top 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.760 basket catching up in this game. Alphabet fourth on the 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.760 team with twenty targets, coming off a six catch, seventy 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.600 five yard performance last week. And they're gonna be chasing 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.840 points in this can in Green Bay, believe it or not. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.080 And Uh, Kyle J. I'm just gonna call him that, 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:55.119 Kyle J. Because that's a silent jay. Kyle. What was 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.000 I thinking picking this guy this early in the morning 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.880 as And uh, but hey, he's got more than twice 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:04.040 his catches is Alfred Morris and uh have to snap. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:10.080 So it's all about this guy in j Kyle, use check, 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.320 use use check, use check, use use check, use use check. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.639 All right, Sorry, you're gonna sense a pattern here. I 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.479 have Duke Johnson of the Cleveland Browns going up against 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.480 the Chargers. Did you know from two thousand fifteen to 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.840 two thousand seventeen, Duke Johnson led the NFL in yards 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.280 per touch with six yards per touch. He's too talented 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.960 for Hugh Jackson to leave him hidden on the bench. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:43.080 He's played of the snaps last week compared to thirty 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.160 five percent for Carlos Hide but hide out touch Duke 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.840 nineteen to six. Something's got to give. It's gonna turn 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.640 around soon. The Chargers have been particularly bad against receiving 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.080 backs this year, allowing the sixth most receiving yards to 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.320 the position. Duke Johnson has been dropped in a lot 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.080 of leagues. You can go grab him, Duke Johnson. I 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.440 dropped Duke Johnson in the one league I had him in. Yeah, 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.000 so yeah, I've kicked him to the curb. Belol Powell 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.760 is sitting at potentially a very good game against Indianapolis. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:16.000 We've already told you about the the many deficiencies to 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.640 the Indianapolis team and defense with all the injuries they've got. Also, 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.640 this injury, Isaiah Crowell's a game time decision. May not play, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.280 and if he does play, he could see a reduced workload. 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.320 Powell has shown his worth to the Jets offense, rushing 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.560 for a solid four and a half yards per carry. 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.560 He has topped sixty five total yards and four or 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.640 five games this year, and Indianapolis is one of five 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.040 teams that's allowed at least three and receiving yards to 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:44.800 running backs this year Church. I think BELLEL. Powell has 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.200 finally made it to like the Hall of Fame of 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.600 take a chance on me players. I think five times 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.679 seventeen times in the last three years, that is probably true. Uh. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.399 In the Colts last eleven road games, they've given up 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.520 ninety yards or more from scrimmage to running an eight 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:02.440 of the eleven. So I like all of that. Let's 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.920 go to the receivers. So you got we're gonna stay 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.560 with this game. Other team though, I got Ryan Grant 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.360 with the Colts going up against the Jets. Grant has 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.520 been very reliable this year, at least seven targets and 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.080 five catches and three or five games scored a touchdown. 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.119 One of the games that he didn't hit those milestones, 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.440 and the Jets have allowed the fourth most yards wide receivers. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:23.800 T Y Hilton is out of this game. Eric Ebron 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.560 will play, but he's definitely banged up. So I like 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.720 Ryan Grant here, and uh, we'll talk more with this 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.720 game in a minute. Yeah, Ryan Grant, You're gonna sense 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.879 of pattern here. Think. So I've got David and Joco 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.240 of the Cleveland Browns and Joke who has been dropped 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.520 in a ton of leagues. He's available in about a 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.480 third of fantasy leagues right now, and that's most likely 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.760 due to the fact that he has not scored a 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:49.280 touchdown in how many games? Nine games in a row. 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.720 That's nine, yeah, nine, nine times in a row he 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.240 has not scored a touchdown. Generally a bad thing for 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.560 a tight end. Correct. However, since Baker Mayfield took over, 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:06.720 he's averaging nine targets per game. Yes, and he's top 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.840 seven amongst tight ends in both targets and air yards 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.000 this season. The Chargers recently gave up a hundred and 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.720 twenty five yards in a score to George Kittle. While 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.800 I won't call those numbers, there's a good chance he 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.840 finds pay dirt this week. I like it. Uh. Finally, 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.920 Mohammed Sanu is the slot corner for Atlanta and he's 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.399 daddy Mohammed Sanu junior. Let me be clear about this. 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.400 Junior looks promising though, Yeah, making excellent moves. You've got 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.200 that three year old in your DEVI league? Absolutely, Uh, 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.040 Momed Sanus a slot corner, meaning he will draw Tampa's 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.920 rookie cornerback m J. Stewart all game. And that is 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.560 a huge advantage for Sanu. Stewart gave up one two 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:53.280 yards and three touchdowns in Tampa's last game one game 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:57.639 three touchdowns from the slot against m J. Stewart. Sanu 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.760 is next. Atlanta has allowed the more touchdowns to wide receivers. 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:06.320 I'm calling my shot right now. Touchdown Mohmed Sanu. Uh 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:12.400 dirt cheap at fanball, by the way, at only excellent ad. 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.199 Good job, guys, um Matt did not necessarily think out 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.440 of the box with the Cleveland thing. But that's okay. 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.800 Let's see what we can sneak in. One more matchup 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.640 and they're gonna ran. We've already talked a lot about 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.800 Indianapolis taking on the Jets. Let's let's drill down on 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.560 the handful of guys we haven't talked about yet. Uh, 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.520 starting with Indie. Ebron is gonna play. It sounds like 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.679
