Speaker 1: today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hello, yes, AHOI.

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: I guess do we even have a show today? I

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: think everybody's injured. Everybody's injured, and it's all the wide

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: receivers is the weird thing. Normally we're like, hey, go

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: draft wide receivers for all the safety they bring. It

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: didn't work out this year. Not yet. Well maybe maybe

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: for those folks who did the Gainesville they're feeling all right,

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: they're probably feeling just fine. Can we bring back the

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Todd Heap Memorial Injury Report? I would like just for

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: this week. I know, just for this week. I miss

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I missed that and I'm Todd Heap always on it

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: renamed the James Conner at this point, it really should.

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: For sure. There's lots to get too of the show.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: We will break down every single matchup Fantasy style with

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: letter grades on every meaningful player, we will provide premature speculation.

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: That's where we give you three players that we believe

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: will be hot pickups next week that you're going to

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: go grab this week, plus three tough questions you get

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: to play along. See if you can go three and

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: O and nine players upon whom you can take a chance.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: These are non starters, many of whom are available on

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: the waiver wire that we think have matchups worth exploiting

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: this week, So lots to get to. Let's dig into

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: the matchups, beginning with the Rams taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. Scott, Yeah,

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: let's do it. I don't love this game, Fro. I'm

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna start on the offensive side for the Rams. I

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: don't love this game. For Jared Goff. I don't like

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: him on the road against the solid Eagles secondary. That's added,

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: pieces like slayh and Jones this offseason actually have mens

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: grade on Wow. Yeah, yeah. I I like a lot

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: of ands, mostly because I like a lot of quarterbacks

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: better than him. This week, I'm still giving him B

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: grade to his would be his his safety blanket. Over

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: the last two years, Robert Woods, year after year under appreciated.

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Did you know he has top seventy yards in two

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: thirds of his games over the last two seasons. I'm

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: not surprised. Yeah, the touchdowns are a different story. And

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: at least five receptions in those two So basically two

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: thirds of the time you're looking at like twelve fantasy

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: points without you're playing that yardage only league. Are you

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: where touchdowns don't count? Yeah? Yeah, he gets some, he

47
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: gets a few. There are people who play that. I

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: don't understand what you know, Why would you not want

49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: points on the most exciting playing football. That's crazy talk,

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, talking to those guys are like, anybody can

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: score a touchdown sometimes weird. I'd rather play touchdown only

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: than I would yards. Yeah, at least that's they think.

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: It's very pure. Yeah, be grade on Woods. He's the

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: safe guy he and he can't explode at times. Cooper Cup,

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade two. Don't love the matchup

56
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: against Robie Coleman, who has been talking some trash this week,

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: calling uh the Rams offense all window dressing. Now, remember

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman played for the Rams and for two years

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: in practice faced off against Cooper Cup directly exactly. Those

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: two know each other intimately, and that's gonna be one

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: of the most fascinating battles from this weekend. Yes, that

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: or Xavier Rhodes and Adam Theland might be out there,

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna go. Yeah, yeah, that was

64
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: not really a tough matchup there. I'm keeping I'm keeping

65
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson on the bench. Higby. Unfortunately, it sounds like

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett isn't gonna go, which would make me like

67
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Higby more. But the sample size isn't good and he's

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: playing what Higby has done this year so far. In

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: the first game didn't didn't look great. I think it's

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna go to cupping Woods. Logan Thomas produced last week.

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: But Higby is not a touchdown score, and that's what

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles give up to tight ends. Higby only

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: has five touchdowns in his entire career year at this point,

74
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: so as a touchdown dependent I don't I don't like

75
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: it there. I have him on the bench. Malcolm Brown,

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade too. He's the only one

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: I like. And here's why I'm giving him the C grade.

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Acres has to be better than he looked the other night.

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: He can't be worse. And Darryl Henderson was banged up,

80
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: played limited. He'll play more this week. He'll get more

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: passing game reps. The reason I like Brown, yeah, he will.

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Brown gets the goal line stuff and Brown is seemingly

83
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: the lead back. Uh. The Eagles held Washington's run game

84
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: to basically nothing except for a few touchdown plunges. So

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: I got a C grade on Brown this week. Over

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: on the Eagles side passing game, it is tough to

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: like what we saw at once last week. It's really tough.

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Not so much his fault. The offensive line was in tatters.

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: They were going up against four first round picks across

90
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: and Lane Johnson was out and he'll be back. But

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: I will say all eight of Carson Wentz to sacks

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: last week, he held out of the ball for longer

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: than four seconds. Four seconds. That's it's very gallant. But

94
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: he's got to be smarter than that. Absolutely, and I

95
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: think that will be a spot where he bounces back

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: and he's got his past catching Miles Sanders back. So

97
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade. Um Last week, the Rams

98
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: held dock under control, but uh, and they've only allowed

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: three passers over two hundred and seventy yards in their

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: last seventeen games, but once led the league in air

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: yards and attempts last year. Last week, he's throwing the ball.

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Uh and the Rams allowed five plays of twenty plus

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: yards last week, so there might be some deep plays

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: available for Rigor or the Deshaun Jackson, UH, Dallas Goddart

105
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and zach Ertz. I'm giving the rare double tight end

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: double a grade to wown for Goddard. Yes, I I

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: think that this is You're not just You're not just

108
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: following up last week's big game. No, he was good

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: last year, he was good at the n last season. Two.

110
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: Um last week's the Rams did shut down Dalton and Schultz,

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: which which sounds kind of more like an Old West

112
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Buddy Cop TV show. Yeah, but I think we got

113
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: whiskey there at the old office every once in a while. Right. Yeah.

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: But Goddard and there are the two main guys. They

115
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: combined for sixteen targets last week. They played the similar

116
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: amount of snaps. They're both going to be heavily involved,

117
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: especially with Rigor and Djacks a little alien, especially Regor

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: alien Jalen reagor excuse me, I still have eight grades

119
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: on them for for the tight ends. They're out there.

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: They're going to see seven, eight, nine targets each. Al Right, yeah,

121
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm buying arts. I'm not. I'm not necessarily. You don't

122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: think they're both top ten tight ends this week? No, okay, alright,

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: I I would bet against that. Alright, they're top ten

124
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: tight ends all last season, they're both top ten times.

125
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, I mean, Arth certainly was. Goddard finished finished

126
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: in the top twelve in totality. But the bid on

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: on Goddard always has been good game and then games

128
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: were just doesn't get enough balls his way, and then

129
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: good game and then he doesn't get enough. So it's

130
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: the highs and the lows with Goddard, and they're very

131
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: hard to pursue. This is the off week, alright, I'm

132
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but I just wouldn't to me and feel

133
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: like you In one of those fantasy football coins, I

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: have him ranked. Let's move on which way? Too much? Right?

135
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Too much? Jalen Reagor. I am giving a hesitant C grade?

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: Is that a C minus? Matt does that? It's not

137
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: it's a C grade, all right. He's coming off injury,

138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: but he led the team in wide receiver snaps. He

139
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: only pulled in the one catch for fifty five yards,

140
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: but he averaged he average thirty four yards uh air

141
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: yards per target last week. He gets some deep passes

142
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: um over to the run game. Uh Sanders, I'm giving

143
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: a B grade to should be back against the team

144
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: who allowed one touchdowns one touchdown over a hundred yards

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: on the ground and another touchdown in over fifty yards

146
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: through the air last week. I think he takes the

147
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: rollback from Boston Scott, who I put back on the bench.

148
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Atlanta takes on Dallas Matt Now, the

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta of defense was bad. I think there's a nice

150
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: opportunity from when the Dallas defense was so hot either.

151
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: So what do you make of the Falcons as they

152
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: go into this game? This is what you call a

153
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: help shoot game. Stack. You put everybody in this game

154
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: because this one's going to be I think they're gonna

155
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: get to seventy points in this game as a combined total. Uh.

156
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, he gets a B grade. Gurley only saw

157
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: the field of the snaps last week, but he did

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: make them count with four point oh yards per carry

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and a rushing score. If the Falcons can keep it close,

160
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: expect that snap count to increase for Gurley. That's good. Uh,

161
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: and his old teammate Malcolm Brown just torched this defense

162
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: last week, so you know Malcolm Brown's calling Todd Gurley,

163
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Hey man, I know how to beat these guys. Just

164
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: cut right through hill. Yeah, sure, that's totally how it works.

165
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, he gets an a. Jared Goff just dinked

166
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: and dunked his way to four two yards against this

167
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: defense last week, and Maddie Ice through for four fifty.

168
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: So I think four hundred yards is in the cards

169
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: for Maddie Ice this week, which means Julio Jones and

170
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley are both easy a's. Even Russell Gauge, I'm

171
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: giving a B gauge. Jones and Ridley each tallied twelve

172
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: gets last week. While I don't see Gauge keeping up

173
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: with the Joneses or the Ridley's all season long, twelve

174
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: targets is something significant and it should not be ignored.

175
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, I'm even giving a B grade to Hurst

176
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: only had five targets last week, but this matchup is

177
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: significantly better. Specifically since linebacker Layton vander ash He just

178
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: went to the I R and he was one of

179
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the guys who helped cover the tight end. And get this,

180
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: in the seven games that vander ash missed last season,

181
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: tight ends average eleven targets, seven point eight receptions and

182
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: seventy yards against the Cowboys defense. So it's a really

183
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: nice matchup for Hayden Hurst over to the Dallas side,

184
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Zekes and a Dax and A even though offensive tackle

185
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Cameron Irving is headed to i R. In two career

186
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: meetings with the Falcons, Deck has never thrown a touchdown pass,

187
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: but odd he has run one in in both of

188
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: the games, so we got that going. And if you

189
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: want to give an NFL comp to a guy kind

190
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: of like Deck, it's probably Russell Wilson, who just had

191
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: an awesome game against the Falcons last week. Three two yards,

192
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and only fouri in completions. So um, yeah,

193
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: decks in and so are his receivers. Amari Cooper's an a.

194
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Let it be known that he's still the alpha in Dallas.

195
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: With fourteen targets against Jalen Ramsey, that was a lot.

196
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: I did not expect that. And you compare that to

197
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: eleven total targets for Gallop and Lamb combined, and Lamb

198
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: had more than Gallop. Yeah, so I'm still giving Gallop

199
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: and Lamb a bee because this should be a shootout

200
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: in this game. I like that you're going that that

201
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: hard with seedee Lamb. I think this has got some

202
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: breakout game to it right here. Absolutely, Lamb played the

203
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: slot and uh that's where Tyler Lockett just ran wild

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: for eight catches and yards last week. The Gallop had

205
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: fifty yards last weekend, but had that forty seven yard

206
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: or called back on the phantom Jalen Ramsey like I

207
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: sold it soccer style offensive pass interference, which was so

208
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: savvy by Ramsey, by the way, But it was absolutely

209
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: a BS call for Gallup Um. The Falcons have allowed

210
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty seven yards per game to the

211
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: position over the last year and a game. And then

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin, we got to mention him. He heads to

213
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: I R what is with what is feared to be

214
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: a torn a c L. But we're not ready to

215
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: pick up Blake Bell or Dalton Schultz at this point,

216
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: so let's just start all the wide receivers and ze

217
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: bell dozer. The Bell dozer. It wasn't really that's so lame,

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: so lame. It was probably his nickname in like sixth

219
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: grade football quarterback in Oklahoma really turned tight end. Look

220
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: at how it's worked out for Logan Thomas. We'll talk

221
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: about him later. To Giants take on the Chicago Bears

222
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: in Chicago. For sake, Kwon Barkley owners last week couldn't

223
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: have gone worse to his offensive line could not hold

224
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: a block for one second, not one second. It was absurd.

225
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Barkley I thought was borderline heroic in getting to like

226
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: six yards on the game through on the ground. Chicago

227
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: has a decent front four, but you know nobody Goldman that.

228
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: And when he faced Chicago last year, Barkley was okay,

229
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: not great. And I think this is the worst defense

230
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: than last year's. Adrian Peterson just ran through this defense.

231
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson on three days of Lions practice powered his

232
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: way through the Bears. To be fair, Adrian Peterson knows

233
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: the Daryl Bevil offense. Adrian Peterson is the Daryl Bevil offense.

234
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: I guess so so I like Sae Kwon Barkley here

235
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: in a bounce back game. I think people are too

236
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: far down on him from six yards. Yes, I am

237
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: boldly predicting he will be better than six yards. He

238
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: might even double his yard. Yes, a little bit like

239
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: how everybody right now, which is they had bought Browns

240
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: on the cheap after a brutal Week one matchup. That's

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: how we're gonna feel about the Giants. I think this

242
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to buy low on Giants and say

243
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley with a B grade. The passing game to

244
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: me is very intriguing, and I've got B grades on

245
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: key players here, including Daniel Jones. It feels like a

246
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: tough matchup, but there are all these holes in the

247
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Bear secondary that he can exploit, like slot cornerback busted

248
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: screen door he still yes, uh had second start rookie

249
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: cornerback Jalen Johnson and journeyman safety to Sean Gibson. These

250
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: are all subpar players in that Bear secondary. If Jones

251
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: is miserable, offensive line can just give him two and

252
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: a half three seconds to throw the ball. I think

253
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: he performs well here, and I especially like Darius Slayton.

254
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Get this Darius Slayton stat he has more touchdowns were

255
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns than any player since Week five of last year. Wow,

256
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton. That doesn't surprise me because ten led the

257
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: NFL last year. Um, he surprised everybody, including me with

258
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns on Monday night, and this is a

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: far easier matchup. He was on the field for eight

260
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: percent of the Giants plays last week, more than any

261
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: other player, so Darius Slayton asserting himself to be the

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: future of the Giants receivers. Here. He ran sixty percent

263
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: of his plays from the left side of the field.

264
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: That puts him on second start. Rookie cornerback Jalen Johnson

265
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: he gets a grade. Evan Ingram gets a B grade.

266
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: I love that he got seven targets last week. I

267
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: hate that it resulted in two catches for nine yards.

268
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: But the Bears defense allow the fifth most catches the

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: tight end last season, and they gave up the big

270
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: game to t J Hawkinson last week. Several bounce off

271
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: his hands and he was he was wide open in

272
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: that zone. I mean like, it could have been way better. Yes,

273
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: it could have been better, and I think it will

274
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: be beginning this week. Sterling Shepherd gets a C grade.

275
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Mostly running from the slot. Shepherd will draw a journeyman

276
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: cornerback buster screen. Last week's screen got rocked by a Hamstrong,

277
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Danny Danny Amendola. So I liked the chances for Sterling

278
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Shepherd and then on the bench Golden Tate expected to

279
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: return from his hamstring injury, but those aggravate easily, and

280
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: he's got the toughest match up against cornerback Kyle Fuller.

281
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to the bear side, beginning with the running game.

282
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: David Montgomery gets a B grade. If Benny Snell can

283
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: top the century mark on five yards per carry against

284
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: the Giants, then David Montgomery canto, so, I think there's

285
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity here. Montgomery had five yards per carry last week,

286
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: which was best marking about half a season. So going

287
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: back to last year, he looked healthy. The groin injury

288
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: is not a factor. He gets a B grade here.

289
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: But Tariko and is on the bench after just a

290
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: nine touch outing last week and just two targets, which

291
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: disappointed me and um, so I think we're gonna show

292
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: a little caution on Tariko. And let's go to the

293
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: passing game, where it's time for dude, Happy Trombone Ski

294
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: to two weeks in a row. This never happens. Happy

295
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Trombone Ski faces arguably the NFL's worst secondary last week,

296
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers receivers ran unabated through the Giant secondary, and

297
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: I love the individual matchups for his receivers as I'm

298
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna talk about just a second. So I like Happy

299
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: Trombone Ski this week. I like him last week and

300
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: look what he paid off three touchdowns. Welcome to speaking,

301
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: which Alan Robinson a grade here on a quest to

302
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: get paid. He's posted at least seventy yards and are

303
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown in six of his last seven games going

304
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: back to last season. He runs from all positions on

305
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: the field and he's got the they're all good matchups

306
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: at every spot on the field. He will either see

307
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: inexperienced cornerbacks Corey Valentine or Darny Holmes, and when he's

308
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: not facing those two, he gets veteran James Bradberry, who

309
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: gave up two touchdowns in his coverage last week. It's

310
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for Allen Robinson. Also for a grade

311
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: for him, B grade for Anthony Miller. Running exclusively from

312
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: the slot, he's gonna match up with Darny Holmes, a

313
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: rookie in his second ever start, homes a lot five

314
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: of the six passes in his coverage to be caught

315
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: last week, and Miller posted a bunch of splash games

316
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: at the end of last year. If you remember, this

317
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: is a splash game spot for Anthony Miller. And the

318
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: last thing I want to mention for the Bears, keep

319
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: an eye on this rookie Darnell Moody that they've got.

320
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: He's a quasi starter there. He's super fat. So there's

321
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: not a team with a ton of speed. They need

322
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: a speed downfield guy. Just keep him on your radar.

323
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: We're not starting him yet, we're not even rostering him yet.

324
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: It's a premature, premature, premature speculation. Just keep an eye

325
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: on Darnell Moody. When we come back. Nine players upon

326
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: whom you can take a chance. These are guys not

327
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup, guys that in many cases

328
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: are available on the waiver wire. Will tell you who

329
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: they are. If you're in a pinch at any position,

330
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: you'll want to take a chance on these players. Welcome

331
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Arch, Scott Fish, and

332
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison with you. This is a segment we call

333
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: take a chance on Me, the Royalty free version. We

334
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: will give you three quarterbacks, three running backs, and three

335
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: receivers upon whom you can take a chance because their

336
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: matchups this week are downright delightful. We begin at the

337
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: quarterback position, Scott, I'm going to start with this up

338
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: start first year player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. First

339
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: year there, Tom Brady. Oh really, I think it's a

340
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: good matchup for him. The only question is do they

341
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: paul had early and does it become a running game

342
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: day like he kind of did for Derek Carr last week. However,

343
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I like I like his weapons in here, and I

344
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady coming off a loss. I really like

345
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: him coming off of three straight losses dating back to

346
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: last year. I think he's gonna want to go out

347
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: or maybe he's just a loser now. No, I think

348
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to go out and prove something. He

349
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: owned up to it last week after after the loss,

350
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: and I think he wants to prove to his team

351
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: that he's still got it. I've heard good things about Brady.

352
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: The prospects are good. All right, let's go to Matt

353
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: your take a chance. I mean quarterback I'm guessing is

354
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: not ready to be in true rind in the Hall

355
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: of Fame. No, but he was one of the quarterbacks

356
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: who beat Tom Brady last year. That's Ryan Tannehill, who

357
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: had a very Ryan Tannehill game last week against the

358
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: decent Denver defense to forty nine and two scores. This week,

359
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: he faces a significantly worst defense, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and

360
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: he's at home. The Jags held up all right to

361
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: the propped up corps of Philip Rivers last week, but

362
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty four ranked d v O A past defense is

363
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: worse this year and not up to the challenge against

364
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: the Titans. Over the past season plus a game, the

365
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Jags have allowed two sixty one yards per game, and

366
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: last year Tannehill face the Jags once he threw for

367
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: over two fifty with two passing scores. But get this,

368
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: he's fleet to foot and scored two rushing touchdowns against

369
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars last year. Yes he is. Who's he gonna

370
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: throw too? Um, I don't know, I forget which which

371
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: kind of guys catch passes? Oh Church, put your pants

372
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: back on. Who's gonna catch those passes? I'm using Kirk

373
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Cousins as might take a chance of the quarterback against

374
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Kirk garbage time Cousins. Hey man, I did all works.

375
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: For all the problems the Vikings encountered last Sunday, Kirk

376
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: was not among them. The Vikings defense was so bad.

377
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: The Vikings offense only ran forty four plays, and Cousins

378
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: still managed to solid two hundred sixty yards and two touchdowns.

379
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: Indies run defense is very good, and I expect the

380
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: usual Dalvin heavy game plan to slant unusually toward Cousins.

381
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: I think we have better volume this week than we

382
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: normally get. In the opener, the Colts allowed Gardner Minshew

383
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: to post a one incompletion game one incompletion. He also

384
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: threw three touchdowns against that rebuilt secondary. I like the

385
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: opportunity here for Kirk Cousins to exploit former Viking teammate

386
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes in coverage, who looked absolutely brutal. All right,

387
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: let's go to the running back position. And which Hall

388
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: of Fame are you gonna give us this week? I'm

389
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: not going to give you. You're not going to Frank Gore. Maybe. Wait,

390
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is on waivers and almost all leagues, so

391
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up as we speak now. Anyway,

392
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm going with Miles Gaskin. Here we go now, we're talking. Yeah,

393
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: he's only a rostered about ten percent of leagues. Uh.

394
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: The thing I like about him is he played twenty

395
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: five past players last week for the Dolphins, and the

396
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins are going to be behind my Buffalo and h

397
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Howard and Brada combined for eight past plays, which is

398
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: a little shocking. Howard did get the goal line looks,

399
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: but Gaskin played thirty nine snaps braid of fourteen Howard nine.

400
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: It's clearly Gaskin's job. All that offseason high all that

401
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: training camp hype about Gaskin has figured it out. Apparently

402
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: they believe it, and they're going to have him in there.

403
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: They'll be behind. He'll get a lot of the work

404
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: I got him as a secret I think that sounds

405
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: about right. All right, Matt, who's your take a chance

406
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: of me running back? I got magical Hall of Famer

407
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: Lord Frank Gordemort there it is he who shall not retire,

408
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: much like Lord Voldemort. The Frank Gore revenge to her continues.

409
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: It was Buffalo last week, now San Francisco where it

410
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: all began, as Frank Gore's name back then was Tom Riddle.

411
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: Last week. Yeah, you haven't read Harry Potter. Have you

412
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Harry Potter theme. Just justick back

413
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: and relax. Okay, yeah, that's right. Last week Gore had

414
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: six carries, the same amount of attempts that Lord Voldemort

415
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: tad on Harry Potter's life. After his head coach Adam

416
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Wormtail Gaze has again cleared the way for the return

417
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: of Gore. He placed lavy On bell On I r

418
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: using the Cruciati's curse on him and leaving him in pain,

419
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: while the Michael Perrine still nursing a sore ankle and

420
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: visiting Mungo's Hospital for magical maladies. The only other runner

421
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: on the roster is the newly signed Klin Bolage, who

422
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: is definitely the Professor Quarrel of fantasy football. He failed

423
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: a physical with the Jets only two weeks ago, negating

424
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: a trade. He'll now unless he did, and now he's here.

425
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: Last week, the Cardinals ran the ball against the Niners

426
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: twenty two times for just under four yards a clip,

427
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: and added another five receptions for their backs. Over the

428
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: last seventeen games, the Niners have allowed nineteen carries per game.

429
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: Those are pretty much all going to Gore. He's gonna

430
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: get all the work. His wand has a phoenix feather,

431
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: and his hore cruxes are spread all across the land.

432
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: Go get him, Go get him. I take a chance

433
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: on me. Which which house with Frank Gourbion? Is he

434
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: a well, he's certainly Slytherin. Oh yeah, isn't Slytherin where

435
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: the bad guys are? He's Lord Frank gordonmart He shall

436
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: not retire. Okay, got it? Uh My running back is

437
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: j D. Mcsuck itt used a huffle poff, That's what

438
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: he is. I did not think it would come to this.

439
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: I really didn't. But this is a unique opportunity, and

440
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: I really hope that we're not talking about him down

441
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: the road. Which Washington players saw the most snaps at

442
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: running back last week? J D. McK sucket. No, it

443
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: was not Peyton Barber. It was not Antonio Gibson or

444
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Adrian Adrian Peterson or Clinton Portis or John Riggins Terry Allen. Um.

445
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals allowed the seventh most receptions and receiving yards to

446
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: opposing running backs last season, and they just allowed the

447
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners running backs to catch one hundred sixty two

448
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: yards in passes and two touchdowns it's a great opportunity

449
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: for him now taking over the Chris Thompson role for

450
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. So Jad McKissick might take a

451
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: chance of me running back. Let's go to the receivers, Scott.

452
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: All right, So I picked this guy once last year

453
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: and he blew up that game. So I'm gonna go

454
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: out back to the I'm gonna go back to the

455
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: well with Michael Thomas out. Do you think it's fair

456
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: to assume that tray Kuan Smith gets at least three targets? Yes,

457
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: he has twelve career games with three targets twelve games. Alright.

458
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: In those twelve games, he has eight touchdowns. Wow, it's

459
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's really good. Alright, Just feed him, yeah,

460
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: ust feed him. So he's gonna take a chance on

461
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: me player. With Michael Thomas out, he's going to get three,

462
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: four or five, six whatever targets on Monday night. And

463
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: it's not like the Raiders are gonna offer a whole

464
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: lot of you know, past defense against him either. Alright, Matt,

465
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: who is your take a chance on me receiver? I

466
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: need some pronunciation helped charge Marquis Valdi's scantalini. No Marquez

467
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: Valdez scantling. I just like the way you said Marquees

468
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling. Uh it was him, not Ellen Lazard, who

469
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: was the second amongst the Packers wide outs in targets

470
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: and yardage. Last week. He finished with ninety six yards

471
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: in a score, including a forty six yarder on on

472
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: a very bad Viking secondary of the Packers are yards

473
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: went his way, and it should be noted that he

474
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: had about a sixty one yard touchdown pass that fell

475
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: out of his mits and another ten yard dropped past

476
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: the Lions secondary. Is the way to make to drop

477
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: past sound like a good thing. Hey, it's seventy more

478
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: yards right there that he just left on the table

479
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: if he could catch. He went back to practice this week.

480
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: I know he did. The Lion's secondary is worse in

481
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: worse shape than the Vikings are. And uh just I mean,

482
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: look happy Trombone ski let a fourth quarter come back

483
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: where he looked like Joe Montana with Justin Coleman, who

484
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: has just sent to I R. And Desmond Trufefont is

485
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: also out. Jeff Okuda's making his first start and he's

486
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna shadow Davante Adams in all likelihood leaving MVS with

487
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: a combo of Armani or wari A and newly signed

488
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: off the Cardinals practice squad Chris Jones. Okay, might take

489
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: a chance of receivers to tight end. A lot of

490
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: people need tight ends. There are several tight ends that

491
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: have underperformed or are now out. George Kettle, George Kittle.

492
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: So many tight ends injured that Goddard's probably gonna be

493
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: a tough probably will be. How about now, in fairness,

494
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: you can say where was this last week? Chart Logan

495
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Thomas to be offball team. Logan Thomas is a converted

496
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: quarter back turned athletic tight end, and in the opener

497
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: he was targeted eight times and was second only to

498
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: Terry mclaurina among Washington receivers and yards. He's um, he's tall,

499
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's athletic. The Cardinals had the worst tight

500
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: end defense in history last year, and Kittle, George Kittle

501
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: last week against the Cardinals was on his way to

502
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: a good game before he got injured. So we'll try

503
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas. He does have some tight end history. He

504
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: was a tough five tight end coming out of high

505
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: school and then Virginia Tech. Converted him into a quarterback,

506
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: which apparently so much Michael Vicken exactly. Let's go to

507
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: our next matchup, which is Carolina taking on take a

508
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: chance on me quarterback Tom Brady. What do you like

509
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: from the Carolina offense? If anybody including this is a

510
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: sneaky game and sneaky tough game for Christian McCaffrey. Yeah.

511
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to call it, but this

512
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: is the TV versus TV in TV Bowl. Oh that's good.

513
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: I like that TP three. We'll call it TV three

514
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: of three. There there it is let us here against

515
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Bridgewater had four touchdowns and three fourteen yards.

516
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Did you know that that's a way different team in

517
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: a way different offense. So the Bucks defense is supposedly

518
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: improved this year. It seems like it's hard to tell

519
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: based on the Saints rolling them up, but they do

520
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: have a tough run defense. Um, Teddy isn't gonna throw

521
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: more than thirty attempts once again here, so I still

522
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: have him on the bench. Uh. I am putting DJ

523
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: more in though, despite having a bigger Fantasy day. Uh.

524
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson. Anderson played less snaps and was out targeted

525
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: by D j Moore. He was still the main guy,

526
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: big play for Anderson's game, and the Bucks didn't give

527
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: up any of those last week, and they didn't give

528
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: up a lot of those last year. So more is

529
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: the safer bet for me. C grade there. I'm putting

530
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the receiving game on the bench. That's

531
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: the only part I can trust of it. Christian McCaffrey,

532
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm still giving him an A grade, even though it's

533
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: a tough matchup against a great Tampa Bay defense. I

534
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: just think his asking game work, which Tampa Bay has

535
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: been known to allow, is gonna get him there. So

536
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: I still have the A grade on Christian McCaffrey. I

537
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's just look, Tampa is just

538
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: an impossibly good run defense, and you you know, you're

539
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: you're just you're hoping for touchdowns or air yards, all right.

540
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: On the other side, we already talked about Brady Godwin.

541
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's going to be out. He's still

542
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: in the protocol, he's practicing limited. Bruce arians calls him doubtful.

543
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: Let's assume he's out. That would put Justin Watson in

544
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: the slot. You know, Brady and him don't quite have

545
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: the connection that he has with Evans, who is now

546
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: fully practicing and healthy, and Dante Jackson is going to

547
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: be out for Carolina. The whole receiving game is gonna

548
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: get some upgrades. I'm giving Evans a being. I'm giving

549
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller a C grade, who has had that drum

550
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: beat since the off season with Tom Brady, and it

551
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: showed last week with what Steven targets. Uh, So I'm

552
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. Howard and Gronk I just

553
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: don't know how to trust at this point, so I

554
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: have them on the bench. I just have him on

555
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: the bench. Gronk outs towered by nearly twice and he

556
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: was fifty four to thirty something. So Gronk, it did

557
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: seem Gronk was on the field. People are dropping Gronk outright.

558
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: He just didn't hit the targets. But it was one

559
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: week his first game back after missing a year. That

560
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: seems like an overreaction to me. Yeah, alright, isn't week

561
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: one just full of overreactions? Right now? That's kind of

562
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: what we did the run game. I have an A

563
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: grade on Ronald Jones and a C grade on Leonard

564
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: Fournette and let me let me explain this. How do

565
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: you get to a C grade on a guy who's

566
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: on the field of the Snaps last week. I think

567
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: I think he was I think he was rusty. He

568
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: had only been there three days. He's going to have

569
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: a full another week. And I think there's a lot,

570
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: a lot of touches to be had here because and

571
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: this is a stat from Mike teg Lean Fantasy Pross,

572
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna, you know, credit where credits due. The

573
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: lowest amount of touches running back Scott against the against

574
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers last year, twenty nine. They're so bad. There's

575
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty touches here, four running backs, and Leonard

576
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: Fournette is probably gonna see ten, twelve, fifteen of those,

577
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: and Ronald Jones will be in the twenty five range

578
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. So I'm giving an aid to Jones and

579
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm giving the seat of four net. It makes sense.

580
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, this is a team that Panthers giving ghost

581
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns last year, and they gave up three to

582
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Josh Jacob last week. Unbelievable touches they give her. San

583
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: Francisco takes on the Jets Matt and for San Francisco

584
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: with all the problems I've had with their receivers, are

585
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: shuffling the deck for Jimmy Garoppolo again. George Kittle is out,

586
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk expected to make his NFL debut. What are

587
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: your prospects for the passing game for the forty Niners

588
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo? Not good, Bob, I'm only getting we're

589
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: talking to But okay, I've only given Jimmy Garoppolo a

590
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: C grade. Uh. And they did give up the most

591
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: fantasy points to a quarterback last week. Is Josh Allen

592
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: did his thing. They also had the eighth most passing

593
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: attempts against them last year because they have a good

594
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: run defense, bad past defense. Problem is almost all the

595
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: receivers are hurt. Uh. Brandon Aiyuk looks like he's gonna

596
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: play like you mentioned, but Kendrick Borne and Trent Taylor

597
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: led the Niners wide receivers last week with five targets

598
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: and two catches a piece. That's not good. And George

599
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: Kittle is out, which means Jordan's red. It's it's just

600
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: girls he's got. I think Jordan Reid is a sneaky

601
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: play here. We don't know the Cattles out. He's out

602
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: them out. Um. The Niners did sign Mohammed Sanu on Tuesday,

603
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Daddy Mohammed Sanu that Um. Yeah, So anyway, I think

604
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: what he targets in this game, what Garoppolo targets is

605
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: the running backs. That's why I'm giving Raheem most to see.

606
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: You said, there's the targets running back. Yeah, but Jerick

607
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: McKinnon and Tevin Coleman are getting a little bit more

608
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: passing work, so they're kind of desperation plays. I just

609
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: don't like this game at all. From from any standpoint,

610
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: It's the opposite of Atlanta Dallas. It's a game no

611
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: stack here except for Frank Gore of course. Uh. Most

612
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: are did get two thirds of the rushing attempts last week.

613
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: That's nearing Belkhouse status. Um. The Jags gave up the

614
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: ninth most receptions to running back. Sorry, the Jets gave

615
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: up the ninth most receptions to running backs last year,

616
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: and Zack Moss and Devin Singletary combined for eight catches

617
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: thirty nine and a score through the air. But Jerick

618
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: McKinnon was heavily involved had six touches last week. Kevin

619
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Coleman's heavily involved. I'm just remembering are running for seventy

620
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: yards touchdown reception you can give raheems to be. The

621
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: Jets are still a very good The one thing they

622
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: do is an organization top to bottom. Well, stop the run. Yeah,

623
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: that's it. So most of it's my favorite play on

624
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: the Niners. And and that's really about it. I don't

625
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: even like Garoppolo that much on the Jet side. Frank

626
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Gore's might take a chance on me. Runner Sam Donald,

627
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: I have him on the bench. The Niners only allowed

628
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: two thirty yards and a score through the air to

629
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray last week. Kyler put up good numbers, but

630
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: it was on the ground. And if you believe Sam

631
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: Donald can really run like Murray, which I don't. Uh,

632
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: the Niners do have trouble dealing with running quarterbacks. But

633
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: Donald was only topped eleven rushing yards twice in his

634
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: care here, so no, that's not happening. Jamison Crowder injured

635
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: his hamstring on Wednesdays. He's out. I got Brashad Peerman

636
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: as a c because Crowder is not going. They don't

637
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: have anybody else to throw to. Denezel Mims, Chris Hogan

638
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: and Chris Herndon are the other. This week, Richard Sherman

639
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: did just hit I R and his backup a Kello

640
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: Witherspoon is in the concussion protocol. That kind of opens

641
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: things for Breshad Pereman. Um DeAndre Hopkins from the outside

642
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: last week had four teen catches for hundred and fifty

643
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: one yards, so Pereman might be in line for one

644
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: of those just high volume. Jamison Crowder like games. He's

645
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: a good dart throw in daily, but I got herned

646
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: in on the bench over the last year and a game.

647
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: The Niners are only allowing thirty three yards per game

648
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: to the tight end position. That's not enough to get

649
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: get it done. Not good, but I just think there's volume.

650
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: Herndon finds his way to a decent game here. It

651
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: could be. This is just a gross game, and I

652
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: spent too much time on it, so please take it away. Well,

653
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: I will take it away and we'll take it into break.

654
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: When we come back. We'll talk about the two most

655
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: disappointing teams from week one, and they face each other,

656
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Colts. Both defenses looking very exploitable.

657
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fantasy opportunity with these two teams.

658
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Will tell you who you can start and who you

659
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: have to bench when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly.

660
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,040

664
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Fault charch and from gaytein dot com.

665
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison shocked Fantasy Scott Fish with you. It's time

666
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: to dive back into some matchups, including the Vikings and

667
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: the Colts. On the Viking side of the ball, Kirk

668
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: Cousins was might take a chance on me quarterback. I

669
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: like him with a B grade this week, and I

670
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: love Adam feeling. He's about all they've gotten the passing game.

671
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: He drew thirty two percent of Kirk cousins targets in

672
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: the first game without Stefon Diggs, and I think that

673
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: holds here as well. He's got an extremely favorable matchup

674
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: against cornerback Rock yah Sin, who has been one of

675
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: the worst starting cornerbacks since being drafted last year, allowing

676
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: nearly seventy of his passes in his coverage to be completed.

677
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: I like feeling a lot a great I also loved

678
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: that song in the eighties by Falco rock Me Ah

679
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: Yass and Davis. Yeah, Yeah, that was the one. You

680
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: really stretched it out and did a good job. Thank

681
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,479
Speaker 1: thank you trying to work on that. If we won't

682
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: start any other parts of the Vikings passing game, let's

683
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: go to Dalvin Cook, who gets a B grade. Cook's

684
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: rushing should contribute to eight decent but not explosive outing

685
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: against a surprisingly good Indie run defense. Last week, undrafted

686
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: nobody James Robinson produced a couple of good runs early,

687
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 1: but then he tapped out at sixty three yards. Only

688
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has hit one hundred rushing yards against Indy

689
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: since Week fifteen of two thousand seventeen. Is a good

690
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: This is a sneaky good run defense. But no team

691
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: has given up more receptions to opposing running backs since

692
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of last year than the Colts. And I

693
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: think Cook could finally get himself to god not finally,

694
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: but get himself to a good again against it through

695
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: the air. Alexander Madison is on the bench, even though

696
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: he had a very nice game last week, but again,

697
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: I think this is a much tougher run defense. Let's

698
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: go to the indie side, where Michael Pittman is likely out,

699
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle out, Trey Burton out. This whole passing offense

700
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: is gonna flow through t Y Hilton and Paris Campbell

701
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: and the backs, and I like those guys a lot.

702
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: Let's start with t Y Hilton, who faces a rebuilt

703
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: secondary that allowed four wide receiver touchdowns last week. He'll

704
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: most often see rookie cornerback Cameron Danzler, or would have,

705
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: but Dandlers have been ruled out of this game game,

706
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: so that means they got to force a less ready

707
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: rookie Jeff Gladden ee into duty for her his first

708
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: NFL start against t Y Hilton A grade. T Y

709
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: Hilton also borderline A grade, but technically be for Paris Campbell.

710
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Sounds like you need something in between those two grades,

711
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: but there is nothing between those two grades. Paris Campbell,

712
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: by premature speculation player last week, ended up leading the

713
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards last week. He

714
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: runs almost exclusively from the slot, where he will see

715
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Mike Hughes most commonly Hughes last year was bad. They

716
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: thought he might be better year off the A c L. No,

717
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: he was a disaster last week. All six of the

718
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: targets thrown in his coverage last week were complete and

719
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: he gave up a touchdown. I love Paris Campbell this week,

720
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: and he is available in many leagues. When we go

721
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: to the running Oh well, let's stay with the passing

722
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: game in Philip Rivers, who played like garbage last week.

723
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: But the Vikings pass defense was even worse. They gave

724
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: up forty three points, thirty one first downs, five or

725
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: twenty two yards last week. Rivers and his two receivers

726
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: I think are going to do very very well. All right, Next,

727
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: let's go to the running game. Jonathan Taylor gets an

728
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: A grade with Marlon mack out. He'll be the starter.

729
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: He's going to get most of the work and he

730
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: will catch passes as well. The rebuilt Vikings run defense

731
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: was inconsistent last week. They gave up five yards per

732
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: carrying one hundred yards to the three Green Bay runners.

733
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: I think Taylor gets plenty of work and we'll get

734
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: near the five yards per carry and near the one

735
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Niheem Hines was a surprise Fantasy star last

736
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: week with a couple of touchdowns. He gets a few

737
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: more targets here, but the Vikings have been awesome against

738
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: pass catching backs. In their last twenty one games, the

739
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: Vikings have allowed only one runner to catch five or

740
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: more passes. Even last week when the Vikings gave up,

741
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: gave up the five or twenty two yards only thirty seven.

742
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: We're through the air two Packers running backs. So just

743
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: the C grade a Nahime hind All right, let's go

744
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: to our next matchup, which is Denver taking on the

745
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott. Yeah, so I'm gonna start on the

746
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Denver side in the passing game. Here, I have Drew

747
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: Lock on the bench against a really good Pets Pittsburgh

748
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 1: defense and especially secondary. Did you know they held eleven

749
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks under two hundred yards last year. That's a lot.

750
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: That's it's not very many yards. I think. I think

751
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: that's where we're looking for Drew Lock, especially if Sutton

752
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: doesn't play. I'm actually gonna go at this if as

753
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: long as assuming Sutton does not go, uh even if

754
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: he does go, he's gonna face off against Joe Hayden.

755
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: So well that the Joe. He's not the Iron had anymore.

756
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not. He's still good, but he's not.

757
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: He's not what he was. Yeah, he's not the name

758
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: he was. I guess I don't know, Uh, Jerry Judy. Uh.

759
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: If Sutton doesn't go, I'm giving him a C grade.

760
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: Runs most of his routes from the slot, which should

761
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: be is this spot where he can some hey against

762
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh secondary. But it's mostly about his snap percentage

763
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: and the amount of targets he's going to see if

764
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: Sudden sets out nose, same deal. Give him a C grade.

765
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: I considered a be but they really held down have

766
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: an ingram last week. Fant leads the tight ends in

767
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: yards after the catch per reception, a stat he leading

768
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: tight ends last year and which I thought he looked

769
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: awesome on Monday night. By the way, you know who

770
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: was number two last year in yards after the catch?

771
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: John Oh Smith? Of course he was. Of course, of

772
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: course it was John Smith. Why did you guess somebody else?

773
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what was I think yards after the

774
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: catch per reception? Uh? So C grade on Fant. I'm

775
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: given a C grade on Gordon even though they just

776
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: held se Quon Barkley to six yards just because Lindsay's out,

777
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: Gordon's going to be out there all the time, and

778
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: he's He's not bad in the passing game. He's averaged

779
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: over eight yards per reception three times in his career.

780
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: He's are three seasons in his career. What do you

781
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: think about Royce dropped the piano Freeman. I don't think

782
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: he's getting get enough volume against the very stingy defense,

783
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: especially with the piano in his hands. In piano will

784
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,479
Speaker 1: get harder, yes, yeah. On the other side, I'm giving

785
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 1: Big ben an a Uh. He's in a really decent

786
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: spot this year. He looked to rusty at first, but

787
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: it came together later. He's got all his all his weapons.

788
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: Von Miller's out as we know from before the season,

789
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: so that that pass rush isn't there. They only sack

790
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: tan Hill once last week. Uh and uh A J.

791
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: Bowie boy, you might be out. Yeah yeah, wow, I'm not.

792
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm giving you do bj do juju. The connections the thing,

793
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: it's the thing. Uh. Denver shutdown A J. Brown last week.

794
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: I understand that, which could be good for Deonte Johnson

795
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: who had ten targets and what would be the Corey

796
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: David's role is. So I like Deonte Johnson, I do. I.

797
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: I actually gave them both B grades, but I have

798
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson with the slightly higher grade. Juju didn't have

799
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of yards, but he got those touchdowns. Deonte

800
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: might get the volume. I have James Washington on the

801
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: bench and Chase Claypool who they call Did you hear

802
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: his nickname? The Juju said it in the press conference.

803
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: They called him Maple Trod because he's from Canada. On

804
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: Maple Trod, that's pretty good. Yeah, I like that. And

805
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: by the way, you see that awesome catch he had

806
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: down the right side and a man and he made

807
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: those in college. To this kid is not a fluke,

808
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: no man. Steelers are so good speculative ad right there.

809
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: If he's available, and yeah, but I don't know if

810
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: he's available in Dynasty League. They split they split the

811
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver three snaps, so they're they're out. Ebrons on

812
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: the bench for me too. He didn't do anything last week, too,

813
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: May Miles to feed uh. This week Connor is completely

814
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: in Uh. He is going to play, so he and

815
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: snell Man. Broncos were top five against running backs fantasy

816
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: points allowed, but allowed the fifth most Russian attempts, which

817
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: means they give up a lot of Russian attempts. Uh.

818
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry same thing last week, a lot of Russian attempts,

819
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: and that allowed him to go over a hundred. Connor

820
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: is the better back in the passing games. So I

821
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: gave Connor the C grade and I have smelled on

822
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: the bench and it's going to be a We're gonna

823
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: talk more about those two next segments. All right, I'll

824
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: find out that's it for that matchup. I believe that

825
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: is it? All right? Um, very very briefly, do you

826
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: guys believe the Browns we saw on Thursday night is

827
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: the real Browns somewhere in the middle between their two games?

828
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: The easy answer isn't it. That's you know what that

829
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: schedule is, so it see a lot. We're gonna see

830
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: a lot of that Thursday Night Brown's team. I think

831
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: we might check in a few. You only get to

832
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: play the Bengals so many times a year. The other

833
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,959
Speaker 1: time the like five more weeks, they're gonna look great.

834
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: And that other game we like him there too. Uh.

835
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: We'll be back for more Fantasy Football Weekly in moments

836
00:44:42,560 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: to be sure to stay tuned. Do you welcome back

837
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly? This is a segment we like to

838
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: call three tough Questions. I will pepper my co host

839
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: with three questions. They will try to answer them as

840
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: best they can. See if they can go three and oh,

841
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: you can do the same thing, play along at home

842
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: or in your car, but keep your hands on the wheel.

843
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: So you pepper us with questions and we try to

844
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: scraps it together. See what I did. They're very good.

845
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: I like that little inside joke. Yeah, are you feeling salty?

846
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Sure about that? Yeah? Getting your answers with Relish? All right,

847
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: what is the appropriate level of concern for Austin Ekeler owners? None? Some?

848
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: Or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott, It's

849
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: really unfair to ask that Josh Kelly question to me.

850
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: That's excuse me. Uh So, I guess I'll say some.

851
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: Kelly is really good and it's impossible to watch him

852
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: in week one and not realize that that he just

853
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: looked that good. Um. Once they got inside the ten,

854
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: Kelly had three of the team's four carries inside the ten.

855
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: Uh he's the bigger back, He's probably gonna be the

856
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: goal line back. Here's what's crazy about this. Kelly only

857
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: played eighteen snaps to Ekeler's fifty. They made the most

858
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: of those. Yeah, but Kelly got sixty yards on that small,

859
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: small samp count snap count, and he got four over

860
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: four years, four yards after content contact, where Eckler only

861
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: got about two yards after contact. Uh, he's gonna see

862
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: increasing loads throughout the season. So I'm gonna say some

863
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: answer some matt on. It's Week one, it's Austin Ekeler.

864
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: We know Austin Ekeler is good. Austin Ekeler had Melvin

865
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: Gordon on his team last year and still finished as

866
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: the number seven back in Fantasy football. One of the

867
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: common themes in Week one, though, was split backfields, as

868
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: it was each player's first taste of real action this season.

869
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: So are we dropping Aaron Jones who only had fifty

870
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: pent of the snaps, or are we dropping Chris Carson

871
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: or Todd Gurley who had less than half the snap

872
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: who recommend there there's there's a steam. Not not sure

873
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: that's what dropping to the free agents head Eckler snuck

874
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: one touchdown in last week. We wouldn't even be talking

875
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: about this at all. You shut up. Me and Brian

876
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: had this over Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams now me

877
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: and you're gonna know by the way you do not

878
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: love him. People talking about sabotage dropping players. I love

879
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: that the sabotage drop is be just because everybody knows

880
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: it now, which is fantastic. But we're not executing sabotage

881
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: drops in September. The sabotage drop is guillot and league.

882
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: While that is true, it's a little you can you

883
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: can pull it off there, all right. What is the

884
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Austin Elin Ekeler owners The

885
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 1: answer is some. He is a very good player still

886
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna lose his job, But everything else

887
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: is bad news. First, his offense look bad and was

888
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: unable to produce many points against the same Bengals defense

889
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: that the Browns just destroyed. Team lost their starting center,

890
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: Mike pouncey um, and we had hoped that with Melvin

891
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: Gordon gone, that Eckler's role would expand into Melvin Gordon's.

892
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: But no, it's Josh Kelly that is not only taking

893
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: over the Melvin Gordon role but might be better than

894
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. So there is some concern here, but not

895
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: a bowl loosening level of existential drive and my bowels

896
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: can stay good. Yeah, should Michael Thomas owners trade now

897
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: or stand Pat Scott? Wait? Wait wa, well that again.

898
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm going back to Scott. He had better answers again,

899
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: it only happens. I have a feeling I'm going to

900
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: get this one one wrong, though, But I feel like

901
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: trading Michael Thomas at this point would be selling low.

902
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly how long he's going to be out.

903
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: I think even the worst case scenario is probably he'll

904
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: be back for week seven. After the week six by

905
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: uh my my. My theory on this is you stand

906
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: Pad because then you get him for the end of

907
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: the season and you can pick up guys on the

908
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: waiver wear like this Paris Campbell guy last week. You know,

909
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: like you can pick up guys like this. If somebody

910
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: were to have recommended Paris, yeah, during the church speculation, yes,

911
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: you would have known. They All they have to do

912
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: is listen to our sage advice for wide receivers to

913
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: pick up weekly to to fill the five week up,

914
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: and then they have Michael Thomas for the Ford if

915
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: you trust us. If you don't trust us, Matt Glad

916
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: you're still listening and Michael Thomas owners trade now our

917
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: stand pad people have decided I don't trust you anymore.

918
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm shutting this show off. UM, I know you think

919
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: it's BS charge, but they're talking about him still possibly

920
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: playing on Monday night. It is a Monday night game,

921
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: so you're not going to start him this week. But

922
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: he is going to Las Vegas this weekend. And Vegas, Baby,

923
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: they have the best spas in the world. Plus they

924
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: have oxygen bars, shrimp Cocktail, the Blue Man Group, all

925
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: of which are clinically proven to heel high ankle sprains.

926
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: So there's no way I'm gonna overreact on Michael Thomas

927
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: right now, considering he's going to be completely healed by

928
00:50:55,480 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. This could go either way. High ankle sprains

929
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: are the worst injury for fantasy players, But the people

930
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: don't normally go to Vegas. That's a great Um, you're

931
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: often better off just having a player like Tears a

932
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: c L. So he's out and you just know he's out,

933
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: and you know he can't depend on him, and you

934
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: can start making other plans. The high ankle sprain is

935
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: frustrating because every week it's a game time decision. And

936
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: then if the player does play on the high ankle sprain,

937
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: now he plays poorly on the highnkle sprain. It happens

938
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: all the time, and it doesn't heal while you're playing

939
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: on it. So now you've got now the next week

940
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: it's not right, and the next week it's not right.

941
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: See also say Kwon Barkley from last year, Now he

942
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: could rest it, and really, your best case scenario for

943
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, the best possible thing can happen is he

944
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: does not play for two or three weeks and comes

945
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: back fully healthy. In that case, the best possible scenario

946
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 1: is they I are him, Yeah they are three. I agree,

947
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: I are him, and then I can even just stash

948
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: him on I all that can replace him. Maybe that

949
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: would be perfect in my mind, but that doesn't here

950
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: to be what they're going to do. They're gonna play

951
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: this thing out and play some games with them. And

952
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: what happens if he needs to miss Highchael sprains a

953
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: three to five week injury. What if he needs to

954
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: miss four weeks on this thing? And it sounds like

955
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: it's a bad one. What if it's four weeks now,

956
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: it's week five and they're looking at a week six

957
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: by that means he comes back in week seven. This

958
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: there's a non zero chance Michael Thomas either does not

959
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: play until week seven or plays hobbled and ineffectively through

960
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: two weeks seven. I don't like any of those scenarios.

961
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: I think you can still trade for him for a

962
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: good player. I bet if you offered him for, say

963
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, that's you're gonna get that level of talent

964
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: back for Michael Thomas because of the name recognition, And

965
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: that's why we are trading Michael Thomas. Can I have

966
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: a counterpoint here? Fine, he only runs four yards down field? One?

967
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: At what point will Benny now emerges the Steelers workhorse back?

968
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: Never mid season or he already is the workhorse back? Scott,

969
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: Come on, I am going mid season because I do

970
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: think James Connor just he has injuries every week and

971
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: they're always different injuries. And Benny Snell looked pretty good

972
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: all that off season hype was real. He looked better

973
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: than Connor when when he was out there. But I

974
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: don't think that they're giving up on Connor yet. That's

975
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: why I gave Connor the C grade this week with

976
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: the passing down work. But I think by mid season

977
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Benny Snell turn into the one A

978
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: of that and if there's an injury, he's the workhorse. Alright.

979
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: Matt uh Scott took most of the wind out of

980
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: my sales, but I'll disagree with him on one point.

981
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a one A, one B situation.

982
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: That's not Mike Tomlin's way. Benny Snell takes this job.

983
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: It's Benny Snells the role with so is that never

984
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: mid season or he already is the work is the

985
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: workhorse back. Now you are correct, and you hit a

986
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: vy salient point. Mike Tomlin has always loved his workhorse backs.

987
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: Lavy on Bell before that, Richard menden Hall before that,

988
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: Willie Parker, all guys that were workhorse backs for that

989
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: for for Mike Tomlin. And that's the way he wants

990
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: to go with us. And as pig headed as Mike

991
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: Tomlin has been about trying to make James Conner into

992
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: a workhorse, by now he's got to know James Conner

993
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: can't be a workhorse back. It's so obvious, and they've

994
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: got to know that Benny Snell looks better than James Conner.

995
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: The only thing I have with it is Benny still

996
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: has like between college and the pros, like career catches,

997
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: like all those other backs he listed could catch the ball.

998
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: Benny Snell doesn't matter. He's going to already is and

999
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: it's going to start this week, even with James Conner back.

1000
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: You watch Benny Snell, it's gonna have more carry there.

1001
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: It is already the lead back. This is James Conner's

1002
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: final year in Pittsburgh's contract runs out. They're they're moving

1003
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: on to Benny Snell right now. James Connor will probably

1004
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 1: get reinjured. So the game Detroit takes on green Bay.

1005
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson surprise star for the Lions last week. What

1006
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 1: do you think about the running game for the Lions

1007
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: against a pretty bad run defense for Green Bay? Matt

1008
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: Um Well, the run defense, I don't know if it's

1009
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: pretty bad or if they were just playing pre event.

1010
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: Run defense were terrible last year, and Dalvin Cook had

1011
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: a good game. He had a good game, but it

1012
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: was all in like, hey, we're gonna back off fifteen

1013
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: yards and hope you don't beat us for a quick touchdown.

1014
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: I will mention that defensive tackle Kenny Clark left the

1015
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: game last week with a groin injury, and when the

1016
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: Vikings were still kind of in the game, they started

1017
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: running the rock right up the middle where Kenny Clark

1018
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: usually said. Clark has been ruled out for this week. Yeah,

1019
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: so I think that that plays well for Adrian Peterson

1020
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: gets the A gap and B gap runs. Um, I'm

1021
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: giving both DeAndre Swift and Adrian Peterson C grades this

1022
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: week for that only only are all that lead up.

1023
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they're gonna split carries and carry on.

1024
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: Johnson is gonna get of the snaps and it's gonna

1025
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: be annoying. So let's talk about Swift for just a second. Yeah, Um,

1026
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: I like Peterson better than you do, but that's not

1027
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 1: the Swift. So Swift drops the game winning touchdown pass,

1028
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: he sure did. He's in his first start as a rookie.

1029
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna make go out of their way

1030
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: to give Swift opportunities to get confidence back and make

1031
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: sure he gets the ball in high percentage spots so

1032
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: that he can You know this, this this game losing

1033
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: catch of his doesn't weigh on him too much. You

1034
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: know what the problem is with that, though, Church. I

1035
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: think the game script is gonna get out of control

1036
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: for Detroit. Their def about firable and they might have

1037
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: to abandon the running game. That's why they're only sees.

1038
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. I'm giving him a SE grade. It could

1039
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: be a b uh. In last year's meeting with Mike

1040
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: Petton's defense, Stafford only managed two scoreless yards. The Packers

1041
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: defense allowed less than two fifty per game last year,

1042
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: just over one passing score per game, and with Golladay

1043
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: likely out, it just looks bad and I think gets

1044
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: to see uh t J. Hockenson. I am giving a

1045
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: C grade to only five targets last week, which is

1046
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: a bit disappointing considering Golladay's absence. He did catch all

1047
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: five of them for fifty six yards in a score though,

1048
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: and the Packers have allowed five tight end receptions for

1049
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: fifty six yards over their past seven team games, so

1050
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: it seems like it's gonna work out. Let's talk about

1051
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. Golladay not gonna go again this week

1052
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury, Marvin Jones and Quintez c Fess.

1053
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm giving them both C grades this week. Fifth rounder

1054
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: c Fis led the team with ten targets last week,

1055
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: and I guess it counts as a homecoming of sorts

1056
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: since he attended Wisconsin, so homecoming game. Uh for the

1057
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: deep throwing stafford. It's notable that Cifas had thirty five

1058
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: percent of the area yards against Chicago last week, and

1059
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: that should keep up until Golladay returns. Jones has scored

1060
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: four times in his last four meetings with the Packers.

1061
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: He put up a few clunkers in their two for

1062
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: seventeen and one catch for eight yards in a score

1063
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: in two of those four games. I like him a

1064
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: lot less with Coliday off the field. I like my

1065
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones to be the second most important receiver on

1066
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: the field to draw the best coverage away from him. Yeah,

1067
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: I think that that's true. Over on the Packers side,

1068
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, I'm giving him a B. He only saw

1069
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: the field on his Packers snaps last week, compared to

1070
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: forty one for Jamal Williams. Well A. J. Dillon and

1071
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: Philip Irvin were mixed in. What this tells me is

1072
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: that this is a split backfield, and while the stats

1073
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: were still good, it's still troubling for those rostering Jones

1074
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: that he's getting just over half of the snaps. Now.

1075
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: He did get twenty touches last game, and I expect

1076
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,959
Speaker 1: a similar game script for this game. It's just gonna

1077
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: be really hard for me to go better than a

1078
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: be on him the rest of the season. Aaron Rodgers

1079
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams getting a grade. If you thought the

1080
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: Vikings secondary is bad, look up the Lions. It's worse.

1081
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: Um since Matt Patricia has become the coach of the Lions.

1082
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is averaging nine yards per game against the Lions,

1083
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: and Adams has topped ninety yards and scored in every

1084
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: matchup against Matt Patricia's Lions defense, and all banged up

1085
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: with the injuries in that secondary, it's a great opportunity

1086
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones. I did highlight Marquez Valdez scantling as

1087
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me, but Allen Lazard startable

1088
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: to um. Lazard top sixty yards and scored in both

1089
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: meetings with the Lions last season, and everything I said

1090
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: about MVS applies to Allen Lazard as well. Just saying

1091
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: somebody's take a chance of me wide receiver Alan Lazard

1092
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: from last year last week. If you would have done

1093
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: Marquees Veldez Scantling last week, I would have given you

1094
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: a double peacock. Thank you. I can give myself a

1095
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: double peacock. Whington takes on Arizona and already already mentioned

1096
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: a couple of players I like. On the Washington side

1097
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: of this. Logan Thomas was might take a chance of me.

1098
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: Receiver j D. Mcsuckett was my take a chance of

1099
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: me running back. I've had a C grade on Peyton Barber,

1100
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: who's basically now like Garrett Blunt on a worst team.

1101
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: He's touched totally touchdown dependent Arizona, Arizona's run defense Garret

1102
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: on a worst team. Arizona's run defense performed pretty well

1103
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: against the forty nine yer Backs last week, which is

1104
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: no small feet because that's a very good running team.

1105
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: Um Barbara found the end zone against the Cardinals last

1106
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: season on a great for him three point nine yards

1107
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: per carry. I think in a pinch you could start

1108
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: him and just keep your fingers crossed for the touchdown.

1109
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: But that's all you're gonna get. The only receiver you

1110
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: care about for Washington outside of Logan Thomas is Terry McLaurin. Yes, McClure,

1111
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: nicely done. He's supposed at least fifty yards already touchdown

1112
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: every time he has seen at least seven targets, which

1113
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: is very likely to continue to continue in this game.

1114
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: McLaren runs predominantly from the left side of the field,

1115
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: which puts him on Drake Kirkpatrick, who, yes, he's still

1116
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: in the league. Dray Kirkpatrick that, yeah, you may hit

1117
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: for good reason with a very positive matchup for him.

1118
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Be great for Terry McLaurin. Let's go to the Arizona side.

1119
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is an obvious A grade. We'll just keep

1120
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: moving on with other parts of the passing game, including

1121
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray also in a grade. That improvisational running of

1122
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,919
Speaker 1: his is your your game winning wild card every week,

1123
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be tough to bench regardless of opponent,

1124
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: especially considering what he just did to the awesome Niners

1125
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: defense last week. Last year, Washington allowed the fifth most

1126
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards. His arms gonna chip in some help

1127
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: against the bad Washington secondary cornerbacks. Ronald Darby, Jimmy Moreland,

1128
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: and Fabian Moreau are all bottom tier talents, and DeAndre

1129
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins alone could power Kyler Murray to a very good game.

1130
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I like it when you think that some cornerbacks are bad.

1131
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Your voice changes this a little bit. It's Fabian Moreau.

1132
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: We got to emphasize how bad they are. Christian Kirk

1133
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: gets a C grade after zero receptions last week. I

1134
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: think they I believe that they'll actively work to get

1135
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Christen Kirk more involved to get the ball in his

1136
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: hands in this game, somewhere between him and DeAndre Hoppy,

1137
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: somewhere between the two. That's right. Um. He runs overwhelmingly

1138
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: from the right side of the field, where Kirk will

1139
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: match up with Ronald Darby, which is a very plus

1140
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: matchup for him. Darby brutal last year and last week

1141
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: he gave up eighty one yards in his coverage last week.

1142
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold with a C grade. Where's Brian? Where is Brian?

1143
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: He got rocked, but Washington got rocked by the Eagles

1144
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: tight ends last week, so we're gonna give a flyer

1145
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold here as well. In the running game, Kenyan

1146
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Drake it's a B did not do much last week,

1147
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: but it was against a very good Niners run defense. Fortunately,

1148
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: he's averaging nineteen touches per game since he's been a Cardinal,

1149
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: so you know the volume is going to be there.

1150
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: But which Washington defense will he see? Will he see

1151
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: last year's defense that was extremely leaky and allowed the

1152
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points back? Where is he gonna get

1153
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: the version from last week that limited Philadelphia's backs to

1154
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: a total of seventy six yards air and ground. The

1155
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Eagle's offensive line is incredibly beat up, so I'm not

1156
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: totally sold on this. Clearly the Red Sorry, the Washington

1157
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: football team a better helmets, the Red Helmets, better team,

1158
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: a better defense this year, but not so much that

1159
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I think you'll want to be starting or want to

1160
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: assume that they're automatically as good as they looked last week.

1161
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, it's the B grade. I'm putting Chase Edmonds

1162
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: on the bench. I know he's scared a touchdown last week,

1163
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: but he's only on the field for one third of

1164
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: the snaps and it's just the eight touches are just

1165
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: not enough to be fantasy reliable. I keep an eye

1166
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: on him. I think that he's gonna eat more into

1167
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake's workload. As this season wears, it could very

1168
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: well be where now he's a good player. He's a

1169
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: good player. When we come back, Buffalo taking on Miami,

1170
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Zack Moss. Baby, here about the greatness that's about to

1171
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: be unleashed on the hapless Dolphins when we returned to

1172
01:03:43,240 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul church In,

1173
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you. If you want

1174
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: to try the freshest new format in fantasy sports, it's

1175
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues. Seventeen teams start the season. Well, now sixteen

1176
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: teams start play because we've had one one week go.

1177
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: The low scoring team each week gets cut and all

1178
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: of their players go to the waiver wire, where pandemonium ensues.

1179
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Last week, for example, Derrick Henry on the waiver wire

1180
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: in twelve percent of Guillotine leagues. If you're one of those,

1181
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: you had a chance to bid on Derrick Henry, add

1182
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: him into your into the mix. Any player with a

1183
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: any big name player with a down week is a prospect.

1184
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: We had Kittle, Miles Sanders, and DJ Chark available in

1185
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: our leagues. That's some fun bidding of those guys. Absolutely

1186
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot Com. We encourage you to check that out.

1187
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Let's go back to our matchups, including Buffalo taking on

1188
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Miami and Scott. If you say anything bad about Zach Moss,

1189
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: you can just leave now Scott back. Oh, come back, Okay, Okay,

1190
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I'll come back. Uh. Josh Allen threw the ball a

1191
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: lot last week. I think I think that if we

1192
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: are doing year thirty six of Fancy Football Weekly, where

1193
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: in this room still talking about Jack Boss, Josh Allen's

1194
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: six attempts might still beet his career high. I think

1195
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: that I think that that's possible. Um, he not just

1196
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: his first three yard game, which I was surprised by,

1197
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean not super surprised. But the thing is he's

1198
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: playing Miami. Who Cam Newton just made the blueprint right

1199
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: of how to play against Miami. Just run the ball

1200
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: fifteen times for seventy five yards, only throwout nineteen times.

1201
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: Allen's like, that's me. You just did what I normally do.

1202
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: So I I gave Allen an a grade because I

1203
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: think I think he think he gets a lot of

1204
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards and maybe some goal line carries because he's

1205
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: their goal line back. I think we need to start

1206
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen as a top three dynasty quarterback.

1207
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: He's already top six, so I mean, like going into

1208
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: this season, he was already like six or whatever there

1209
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: with the Momes and the Jacksons. Almost now I'm not

1210
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,479
Speaker 1: quite there yet either, but I mean, if he starts

1211
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: passing for three yards along with the Russian, then he's

1212
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: his main guy. Digs I'm given a C grade to

1213
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: even though it is a mean Howard is back and

1214
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: healthy and uh he's been digged up with a knee injury.

1215
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Only played snaps last week, which isn't very much, but

1216
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's going to be, you know, a

1217
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: bigger participant this week. I just think that Digs in

1218
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Brown both get the C grades. They both should just

1219
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: get just get enough work to be startable, and you're not.

1220
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: You're probably not benched him anyway, not against not against Miami. Yeah, Beasley,

1221
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be the odd man out of snaps.

1222
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Alan's not going to throw that much. I have SEA

1223
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: grades on both Singletary and Moss were going to him.

1224
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Stop it? Yeah, why did you mislead our list? Like

1225
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the snapshare shows a clear advantage for Singletary, you got

1226
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: more pass game work, but Moss took everything once they

1227
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: got down close, and oh man, I I was very mad.

1228
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Zack Moss was wide open for a second touchdown and

1229
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I yelled at the screen yep. And that's why I

1230
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: do like Moss, because he's got that t D upside.

1231
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: But you don't like him enough to get him a

1232
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: better grades. Is there something better than a C? But

1233
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not quite a beat like C prime. If

1234
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: if Singletary got less snaps and less work between the

1235
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: twenties last last week, I would probably have Moss ranked higher.

1236
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what to trust yet, so

1237
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: I gave him both C grades. On the Miami side,

1238
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm benching almost everything. Parker is sounding like he's going

1239
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: to be out. If he's out, my boy Preston Williams

1240
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: gets travious white. I hate that matchup. So I got

1241
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Kasecky, we talked about this, that

1242
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: it might be the breakout I mean a bounce back.

1243
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean him. Yeah, seven targets last week for the

1244
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: tight end playing against Buffalo, there's a opportunity. I gave

1245
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: him a C grade. He only had eight catches for

1246
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards in two games last year, which which

1247
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: was rough. But you know, if if Parker is out Kaseki,

1248
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a se grete he could he could

1249
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 1: get the work on Gaskin was my take a chance

1250
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: on me player. Clearly I don't like Fits. You know

1251
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: how many touchdown Fits had it against the Bills last

1252
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: year in two games too, That's it. I got that

1253
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah. Too bad about Devonte Parker. Yeah,

1254
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, all you know for all the

1255
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 1: you know, the way I finished last year was hopefully

1256
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: rolling with the momentum this year, that's not going to

1257
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: be the case. Jacksonville takes on Tennessee Matt and Gardner

1258
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Minshew through one in completion last week. That's pretty good.

1259
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: That's really really good in three touchdowns and you know me,

1260
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I love Gardner Minshew, you do. He's on the bench. Um,

1261
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: he met these types last year and managed two d

1262
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: four yards and two scores. Drew lock put up to

1263
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: sixteen and one last week. It feels about right for

1264
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: two is just above two. By the way, he only

1265
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: had three in completions twenty two twenty five week one

1266
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: last year, so maybe he's just a week one guy

1267
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: that he's a j Clemens Week one original um considering

1268
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Minshew was sacked on four of his twenty four dropbacks

1269
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: last week. That offensive line is bad and they have

1270
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: the lowest implied Vegas point total of only sixteen and

1271
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: a half this week. I'm just benching this offense, including

1272
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 1: DJ Chark, who only had three targets last week. And

1273
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: while it's clear he to us he's the best wide

1274
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: receiver on the team, well, yeah, because he is the

1275
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: best WI, it's not clear to the Jaguars for some reason,

1276
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: who are rotating five wide receivers on a pretty even rotation. Now,

1277
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: Chark got the most. He was on the field for

1278
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: of the snaps, but why is he off the field?

1279
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: That's pretty normal or any for any top receiver. I

1280
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: will say. I will say I I heard that they

1281
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: were moving Laviska around a lot to make mismatches and

1282
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: that's why he was so involved last week. But who

1283
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: knows that they might do that, you know throughout the season.

1284
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of Chennault, he had more targets with four, and

1285
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Keel and Cole had more targets with five. Yeah, but

1286
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: all those got there. I'm not with you. I'm not

1287
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: with you on the chart thing. I'm I'm with me

1288
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: on it. James Robinson and Chris Thompson both are on

1289
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: the bench. It's a full Jaguars bench in I favored

1290
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: Thompson as the Jaguars are nine point road underdogs. Meeting

1291
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: game script could dictate more of the past catching back

1292
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit more. Still, Robinson had

1293
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: all sixteen of the carries last week, but only managed

1294
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: under four yards per carry with them and catch was amazing.

1295
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Now that's great, It's not gonna help for this week.

1296
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: Only one back is topped eighty yards against Tennessee in

1297
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,719
Speaker 1: their last six games on the Tennessee side. Derrick Henry

1298
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: is an easy a Ryan Tannehill was might take a

1299
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: chance on me. Quarterback A. J. Brown is out with

1300
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: a bone bruise this week, which means Corey Davis gets

1301
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: a Sea gray and it might have been a little

1302
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: bit better if he didn't have a hamstring injury that

1303
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: he's been working through this week. It was his first

1304
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: one yard game last week since Week ten, and he's

1305
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: only topped eighty yards once in his prior twenty three outings.

1306
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: He's not very consistent obviously, well, he's consistently bad. He's

1307
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: consistently mediocre. In in six career meetings with the Jags,

1308
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: he's never scored. His high yardage total is forty four yards.

1309
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, I mean, you got You're just gonna have

1310
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 1: to decide. Was Week one a total mirage or is

1311
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 1: he somehow turned the corner late in his career a

1312
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit like I don't like Davante Parker. I mean,

1313
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: you know, you know that is not usually where it happens.

1314
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: It's like a Sammue Watkins with Buffalo Good Week one

1315
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo might be there's one more player we have to

1316
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 1: mention charge you think I don't know, and it's the receiver.

1317
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,560
Speaker 1: It's John H. Smith. Oh yeah, baby, you want to

1318
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: play a sound now, Um, you're figuring out which sound.

1319
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: There's this because he scored a touchdown last week, had

1320
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: a beautiful bubble screen on like the second play of

1321
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: the game. So there's that. Smith had seven targets last week,

1322
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: a feat he only managed once last year, which means

1323
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: which means they've figured it out throughout the off season

1324
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh yeah, it's seven targets per game

1325
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: to John new Smith. Now every time in John WUS

1326
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: career that he's had exactly seven targets he's scored. You

1327
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: would take a hundred plus targets. Say the Jags allowed

1328
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: the eighth most tight end touchdowns last year too, So

1329
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: John U. Smith giving him a B. It's closer to

1330
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: an A though, I think as I think he's going

1331
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: to be in line for more than seven targets, a

1332
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,560
Speaker 1: j Brown out and Corey Davis, as you mentioned, the

1333
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: hamstring that pats and games gonna funnel largely through John

1334
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: NU Smith, who's standing up on almost every play. He's

1335
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: a super sneaky Draft Kings play. By the way, he's

1336
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: cheap if you're building the draft kids people deaf Draft

1337
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Kings people don't listen to the show clearly, or they

1338
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: would know absolutely no better. Baltimore taking on Houston will

1339
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: try to zip through this matchup because Lamar Jackson does

1340
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,799
Speaker 1: not need any explanation. Here's my number one ranked quarterback

1341
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: this week, and Mark Andrew's obvious A as well. It's

1342
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: a little bit trickier for the h for some of

1343
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: the other players, but not a lot. Marcy's Brown gets

1344
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: a B grade. He had a big Week one and

1345
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: it's probably going to continue against a terrible Houston secondary

1346
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: that just got picked clean by Patrick Mahomes. Um. He

1347
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: goes up against quarterback Bradley Roby, who is good and

1348
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: that's the only reason he's not an a. Roby's got

1349
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: the speed necessary to keep up with Brown. Um. But

1350
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: he did yield five catches on a score and week one,

1351
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: so I think Brown is gonna be just fine. And Um.

1352
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: Then we go to the running backs. Now, mark Ingram

1353
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: was on the wrong side of the snaps in Week one.

1354
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna flip this script and get mark

1355
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: Ingram back involved in this one, just to make sure

1356
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: defenses know that there's both guys are still a viable

1357
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: opport option for both for this offense. And if that's

1358
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: the case, then I think he's sitting in a nice

1359
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: game and be great here. He put up seventy five

1360
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: combo yards and two receiving scores in the two Ravens

1361
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: meetings with Houston last season. The Texans have given up

1362
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: fourteen scores to running backs in their last eight games,

1363
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: so they're giving up about two a game over the

1364
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: course of the last half season. I think mark Ingram's

1365
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna find his way to the end zone here, and

1366
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: then J K. Dobbins saw Baltimore's only two carries inside

1367
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: the five, and he's scored on both of them. It

1368
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: looks like that. I don't I still think both guys

1369
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: are viable at the stripe. I don't think that's art. Now.

1370
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Dobbins has been a changing of the guard. J K.

1371
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: Dobbins is going to be awesome. Dobbins is wish Zack

1372
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 1: Moss would have done. You shut up, Za, Can I

1373
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: remind you Zack most scored a touchdown likee Uh, Houston,

1374
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Houston gives up touchdowns here. I still

1375
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: think it's the j K. Dobbins is absolutely startable. Uh

1376
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 1: and they stopped They lost their run stuffer free agent

1377
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: DJ Reader in the off season, and we saw what

1378
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards, a layer did to this Houston run defense

1379
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: last week. Then on the Houston side, the lowest grade

1380
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I've ever given to Shaun Watson coming into a game. No,

1381
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 1: he is a C and he's my twentieth ranked quarterback

1382
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: this week, which sounds absurd for any quarterback as good

1383
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: as he is. But you know, Baltimore's past defense is awesome,

1384
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 1: and he posted a miserable outing against Baltimore last year.

1385
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: No scores either through the ground or via the air.

1386
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: He threw for one sixty nine yards and he ran

1387
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: for twelve yards. That was his game against Baltimore last year.

1388
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: And he had Hopkins last year and that was with

1389
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 1: the A Right, that was with DeAndre Hopkins. Now over

1390
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens. What about on the ground. You might be saying,

1391
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: I think that Deshaun Watson is going to run on

1392
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the ground. You might be saying, yeah, is he going

1393
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: to run on the ground? Chart Why no, he's not.

1394
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: Past Ravens twenty five games, they've given up one quarterback

1395
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown and seven quarterback rushing yards per game. That's

1396
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: over the last twenty five games. That is a large

1397
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: sample size. Well, they practice against l Jack's every day,

1398
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: so they know what to do. Absolutely, Um, stay with

1399
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: the passing game. Will Fuller just gets a C grade here.

1400
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: The good news is that Fuller emerged as the clear

1401
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: go to receiver and that ends the good news portion

1402
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 1: of the Will Fuller discussion right there. This is a

1403
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: brutal matchup. No receivers hit one hundred yards against the

1404
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: Ravens and almost excuse me, a year they hammered the

1405
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Browns passing game last week, and since the beginning of

1406
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: last year, wide receivers have failed to score any touchdowns

1407
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 1: at all in half of the Ravens games. Brandon Cooks

1408
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: is on the bench. He's nursing an injury and again,

1409
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 1: brutal matchup. We're not going to start him. What about

1410
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: David Johnson? What about him? Duke Johnson may not play

1411
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: in this game, so he might get a large workload

1412
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: Houston has. I'm sorry, um, let's see you. Johnson got

1413
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: almost all the snaps in the opener that probably continues here.

1414
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: But he's had just one rushing one hundred yard rushing

1415
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: game in his last thirty one starts. You can run

1416
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: on the Ravens a little bit easier than pass on

1417
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens. And they're gonna try to get David Johnson going,

1418
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: but the game script is gonna turn against him quickly.

1419
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: And it's only a C grade for me. David Johnson.

1420
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: Tough game coming up for Houston. By the way, Houston

1421
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: is going to be in contention with the Jaguars to

1422
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: lose out that division. Yeah, this is I'm telling you,

1423
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: it's not a very good team. When we come back

1424
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: premature speculation. Three players that you will want to pick

1425
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: up and now that everybody else is gonna be trying

1426
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: to pick up next week. But they're already on your

1427
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 1: team because you heard premature speculation on Fantasy Football Weekly.

1428
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: Final segments Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchie and Guillotine Leagues

1429
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: dot Com, Matt Harrison Shocked Fantasy and Scott Fish with you.

1430
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: This is a segment we can premature speculation. These are

1431
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: guys that are available on the waiver wire in most

1432
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: leagues that we believe you should pick up now one

1433
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: week before everybody else is going to try to pick

1434
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: them up. Scott, who should we pick up? Now? How

1435
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: about I turn on my mic. That'll work. I'm gonna

1436
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,600
Speaker 1: start with Jalen Reagor, who so many people drop. His

1437
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: roster ship has gone into the twenties undertent Now, he

1438
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: only had four targets reeled one in for fifty five yards,

1439
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: but as I mentioned earlier, he led the NFL in

1440
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: yards per target. With Lane Johnson back, Carson Wentz is

1441
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a little bit more time to throw and

1442
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: catch him deep, and he's gonna get healthier with that

1443
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: shoulder over the season. So I like him. Matt, you're

1444
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: prettymature speculation player. Is you need a difference maker at

1445
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback position? You need to tag a viola ste

1446
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 1: Beard through three picks in week one. He faces another

1447
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: tough test in Buffalo this week, and Scott already said

1448
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 1: that it's looking bad. After that. It's Jacksonville on Thursday night,

1449
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: a primetime game. What better way to start your quarterback

1450
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: in his new team against a SEC defense in the

1451
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. And if you and if to it does

1452
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: look good or he looks bad. They now have ten

1453
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: days to make corrections and change the offense in between

1454
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: that Thursday night game and the Week four game. So

1455
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: I like to as a pickup. I think he starts

1456
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 1: next week. All right. My premature speculation player is La

1457
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan, Yes, Lamer, is it la miracle? The

1458
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: miracle Love miracle? Is it really is? I mean his

1459
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: brother Isma, So you're probably right it is a miracle.

1460
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: We'll go with that. Um, he's got an easy path

1461
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: to the starting job in New York for the Jets.

1462
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Laby On bells on I R. I don't even know

1463
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: if Lavian Bell is good anymore. Frank Gore was brutal

1464
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: last year, and he's a year older. Thank you. Okay,

1465
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: all right, Michael Pierryan is going to be very likely

1466
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: be active this week. He's been nursing an ankle injury

1467
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: but expected to play, and he could be your starter

1468
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: by next week if he looks better than Frank Gore,

1469
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: which is not that hard to do. He could be

1470
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: the starter next week on an NFL team, not a

1471
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: very good NFL team. What kind of runner is the

1472
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan, you might be asking. He's strong, he's physical,

1473
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: He's not elusive, but he is a little shifty. He

1474
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: can catch him, pass block, just okay. Speed. He's not

1475
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: a special runner, but he might be the best runner

1476
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: run the Jets. That is a possibility that I liked

1477
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: it when you did the air quotes when talking about

1478
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: the Jets and NFL team. That's right, the verbal air quotes. Right.

1479
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: I must have heard that as a nickname in college

1480
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 1: at some point and it just start flipped in me.

1481
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: I was you made you made me question myself for

1482
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,759
Speaker 1: a second. Let's go to the Monday night game, scott

1483
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans taking on Oakland. Yeah. So, uh. The date

1484
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: December eleven, two, two thousand six, team age seven and

1485
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: the stats seven yards, no touchdowns, three interceptions. His drew

1486
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: last game without Michael Thomas. Yeah, he had a bad

1487
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: one that game. I don't think it's gonna be that

1488
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: bad this week as he plays a team that just

1489
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: allowed two and seventy yards to teddy Bridge. So I

1490
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: do have a C grade on Breeze. It's it's not

1491
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: as good as if Thomas was in there. I'm giving

1492
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:18,719
Speaker 1: a B grade to Sanders. He should get a decent

1493
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 1: amount of volume and they're gonna move around a lot

1494
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: so just to get him open. I really I really

1495
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,799
Speaker 1: like cooking this game. He got a ton of targets

1496
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: last week and Michael Thomas played almost the fall game,

1497
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: so it's not like uh so now with Thomas out,

1498
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: he should see more targets and revenge game conserrators. So

1499
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, Alvin Kamara, I'm giving an A grade.

1500
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: I think that this team goes heavy run run game

1501
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: with without Michael Thomas, So I have an A grade

1502
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: of Kamara. He's gonna get the passing game work. Um,

1503
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: we might even get one of those rare ten ten

1504
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: target games for coming from this one this week. And

1505
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: I actually have a C grade on Murray too. He

1506
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: doesn't play as much, but he got fifteen carries last

1507
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 1: week and in a run running head be your game.

1508
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: I think that he could get that amount of work

1509
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: again on the other side with Rugs out and against

1510
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: the Saints. I don't like anything, really. I don't like

1511
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: car I don't like any of the receivers. They split

1512
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: too much. I mean, Agla is getting snaps. I mean,

1513
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: but I do like Darren Waller, who got eight targets

1514
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: last week. He's if he's gonna get eight of cars

1515
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 1: thirty targets last week, if he's gonna get that level,

1516
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: give me an give me probably an A grade on wallet.

1517
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: And Brian Edwards showed nothing last week. Yeah, and Josh

1518
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Jacobs the off season hype about I want sixty catches,

1519
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 1: he got six targets target. Yeah, he's he's getting it.

1520
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: It's happening, guys. Um it was an obvious smash spot

1521
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: this week. It's a little tougher this week. But concerned

1522
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: he gets those targets. I have an A grade on

1523
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: him because he's gonna get a ton of work. I'm

1524
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: with him, all right, Let's go to New England taking

1525
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: on Seattle. Uh. The The Patriots didn't even ask Cam

1526
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Newton to pass in a one sided game. They will

1527
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: need his arm at some point against a much better

1528
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: Seattle Seattle team, you think. And that's why all the

1529
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: running backs I kind of have lumped together. Um, well,

1530
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: let's just start. I gotta I gotta bench grade for

1531
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: every running back but one. Okay, Sony Michelle has a

1532
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: bench grade. He led the team with ten touches last week,

1533
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: but he's Sony Walkman Michelle, and he looked bad. James

1534
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: white had eight touches. He's on the bench. Yep, yep,

1535
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: he's on the So has Rex burke Head with seven touches,

1536
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: and JJ Taylor with five touches. The only running back

1537
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you can start is Cam Newton, who had fifteen rushing

1538
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: attempts last week, as many as Sony and white Head combined,

1539
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: and the second most rushing attempts in his career. Church,

1540
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 1: would you like to make a peacock noise because you

1541
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: called it in the preseason that Bill Belichick's just gonna

1542
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: run that. Why not run him? Why not run him?

1543
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade because the Patriots are just

1544
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: running like the the single wing or the wishbone offense.

1545
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: From now on. Worth noting that Lamar Jackson ran fourteen

1546
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: times against the Seahawks last year for a hundred and

1547
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: sixteen yards in a score, and Kyler Murray had ten

1548
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: carries for sixty seven yards in a score on the

1549
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,639
Speaker 1: ground over his two games against the Seahawks last year.

1550
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman is the only other player that's getting a

1551
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: starting grade. He's getting a B. Edelman led the team

1552
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: with seven targets last week, and Russell Gauge grabbed nine

1553
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: catches from one fourteen from the slot last week against

1554
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh and kill Harry's on the bench, h

1555
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 1: no deal. Scary fumbled out of the back of the

1556
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: end zone last week. You like that nickname through the

1557
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: end zone. That puts him squarely in Bill Belichick's doghouse there.

1558
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: He did manage six targets, but the Pets they're not

1559
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: going to throw him the ball enough. And Devin Assisi

1560
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: only had ten snaps in week one. That's bad on

1561
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks side. Chris Carson is getting a C grade,

1562
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, he scored twice in the receiving game.

1563
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: And I'm a little nervous that Carlos Hyde vultured a

1564
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: goal line touchdown, but I'd still like Carson enough. That

1565
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: was that was garbage time. The problem is the Patriots

1566
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: have been an epic run defense for a long time.

1567
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 1: While Jordan Howard did manage to hit pay dirt last

1568
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 1: week against the Patriots, before that, it was Gus Edwards

1569
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: as the only running back to score in that's right,

1570
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: the only one, and prior to that it was Brandon Bolden. Yes,

1571
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,560
Speaker 1: that Brandon Bolden, who's on the Patriots, right, he was

1572
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 1: at some point not on the Patriots. He played one

1573
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: year in Miami and scored two touchdowns on the ground

1574
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. It's crazy. So four rushing touchdowns against

1575
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: them in the last twenty one games. Russell Wilson gets

1576
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: a B. The Pats defense good against the past, but

1577
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: there's a few threads to pull. Last season, they allowed

1578
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty passing yards per game over the

1579
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,799
Speaker 1: first eight weeks to over the last eight, and rushing

1580
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have had fine days against them. To Lamar and

1581
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen roughed them up on the ground over a

1582
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: few games last year. Even Stu Beard ran one in.

1583
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and dk Metcalf both get b grades. Both

1584
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 1: had eight targets last week, both top ninety yards and

1585
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:15,719
Speaker 1: normally um Metcalf had six of the team's are yards.

1586
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:17,839
Speaker 1: Normally that would bump him up, but he gets Stephan

1587
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Gilmour on the outside while Tyler Lockett hangs in the slot.

1588
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen and the tight ends are on the bench.

1589
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Four targets, two targets, one target between them. It's a

1590
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: mess that doesn't surprise me. About stupid, I mean, Alan

1591
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Newton Russ fits, but he did lead his team

1592
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: in rushing last year. He did. Let's go to our

1593
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: final matchup that we'll find all of them on the Yes,

1594
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City taking on the Sandy former team formula from

1595
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 1: San Diego. Dring names today, I know. Actually that's my

1596
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: fault that I put San Diego on the sheet. Just say,

1597
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly's Chargers, you did? You put Sandygo did is

1598
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: on my sheet? Now? The Southern California Chargers in this

1599
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Hill, and Travis Kelsey are

1600
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: all obvious is. And I'm not gonna spend much time

1601
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: out of here um except to say that Tyreek Hill

1602
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: worries me the most out of this group only because

1603
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks of the Charges are all stone cold elite

1604
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: and but still it's Tyreek Hill and you're gonna start

1605
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 1: him anyway, and I've still got an A grade on him. Uh.

1606
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: The only other member of the passing game that Merritt's

1607
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 1: discussion is Sammy Watkins, who of course went off in

1608
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 1: the opener, just like last year. And I don't think

1609
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna go the whole season without scoring again. But

1610
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm not starting him here either because again, Charges cornerbacks

1611
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 1: are really really good. And he combined for three catches

1612
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,919
Speaker 1: and thirty four yards total in the two games against

1613
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers a season ago. That's it. My man love

1614
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edwards h layer is unabated. He is a

1615
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 1: rock solid A grade, my favorite chief of the week.

1616
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: I like him more than anybody in the passing game.

1617
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: He averaged seven half yards per carry on runs that

1618
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: weren't inside the five yard You saw the inside the

1619
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: five yard line. They got all got blown up at

1620
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He had nowhere to go the

1621
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: rest of the field seven and a half yards per

1622
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: carry in the opener. Only Peyton Barber had more red

1623
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: zone carries during the opening week than Clyde Edwards Laire.

1624
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: In addition UH, they added UH. The Chargers added Linvald

1625
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: Joseph in the off season. He's a run stuffer and

1626
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: he did hold Joe Mixon in check last week. But

1627
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: it's a whole different story to try to do it

1628
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Solid A grade for Clyde Edwards Hilaire.

1629
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chargers side where Austin Ekeler gets

1630
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: a B grade. I am troubled by Ockler for all

1631
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: the reasons we described earlier in the show um. Last

1632
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: year against Kansas City he posted a combined fourteen carries

1633
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: for seventy yards and seventeen catches for a hundred fifty one.

1634
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 1: I would take those air yards again here, but Tyrod

1635
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: Taylor barely threw to him at all last week, and

1636
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: he in his Historically he doesn't throw too his running backs.

1637
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs having allowed it back to top seventy five

1638
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,799
Speaker 1: rushing yards in their last five games, including the playoffs,

1639
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: going back to last year, then we should talk about

1640
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,599
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly. He got three of the four carries inside

1641
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: the ten yard line, including the five yards score last week.

1642
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 1: He's startable here with a C grade. Kansas City is

1643
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 1: allowed just two touchdowns to backs in their last seven games,

1644
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 1: so I don't love him in this one, but I

1645
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: think he is startable with a C grade. As for

1646
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 1: the passing game, Tyrod Taylor looked very unimpressive to me, um,

1647
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: but I still think you can start Hunter Henry, who

1648
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: is my favorite of his receivers. The Chiefs conceded the

1649
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: third most receptions and fifth most yards to opposing tight

1650
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: ends last week or last year, and Jordan Aiken scored

1651
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: against him last week. So I like Hunter Henry here.

1652
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: Who don't I like Keenan Allen. Yes, he has scored

1653
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 1: in his last three full games against the Chiefs, but

1654
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: he runs from the slot more than half the time,

1655
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: and that puts him up against honey batcher Tyron Matthew,

1656
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: and that is a brutal matchup and I don't like

1657
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: that for Keenan Allen. Uh My Williams was some way

1658
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 1: more involved in the passing game than I expected last

1659
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: week with the injuries that he had, and I thought

1660
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 1: he looked very good at some acrobatic catches. But it's
