00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: the best possible playoff positioning for your team. For some

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: of you, that means turning a three seed into a

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: one seed. For some of you, that means turning a

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: team that's out of the playoffs into the playoffs. I

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, that is the voice of Scott Fish.

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: My other co host today, Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, it's

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: very very is this is this officially nut cutting time?

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: And if so, what nut? And who cuts nuts? Seriously,

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: who's sitting around cutting nuts? That you cut the shells,

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: not the nuts, right, and you crack the shells, you

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: don't cut them. I mean, imagine if you took something

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: a little fever to a wall, knocking some you'd lose

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: a finger before long. We've got plenty to get to

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: over the course of this show, including nine players not

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: normally starting lineup. I've got a stone cold winner at

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: tight end for you that you're gonna hear and take

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: a chance and he later. We'll answer three tough questions

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: and letter grades for all the notable players in all

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the games, beginning with the Saints taking on the Jets.

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Alvin Camara coming back, perfect timing for those people that

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: were languishing for a month without Alvin Kmara. And we

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: probably don't even have mark Ingram to muck up the works. Yeah,

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Alvin Kimara walking pretty much right into a fantasy Fonzie

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: in this matchup against the Jets, especially with mark Ingram

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: unlikely to play COVID COVID uh so yeah, and a

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: for camera, the Jets have allowed the most fantasy points

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of opposing running backs. It's pretty simple here. And they

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: also uh they as in the Saints might get left

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: tackle Tehran Armstead back who hasn't played us since Week nine,

36
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: was played in just one game since week nine, so

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: if he comes back, that bodes well for camera. But

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: he gets an easy day, easy a either way. Uh.

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: The wide receiver situation not so easy. Uh. Deonte Harris

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: was looking really good, but he's not suspended. Um, and

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that's the thing that goes that

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: slingers all the way back to like last summer, right,

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: and then you know they finally rule on it now.

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Kind of weird, And I mean we'll talk about the

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: who's throwing the ball quote unquote gonna throw the ball

46
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: for the Saints in a second. So Trey Kwan Smith

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: and Marquess Callaway, I got them both on the bench. Uh,

48
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: neither one has really distanced distanced themselves as a wide receiver.

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: One Harris was doing that, but again he's suspended. So uh.

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: Even though the Jets are holding opposing wide receivers wy

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: lesson twelve catches wondering, wondering segyards per game, it's really

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: because they're so easy to run on. So long story

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: short benching the wide receivers, I am gonna heave a

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: harpoon at Nick Finette. Though tight end Nick Finett caught

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: three or four targets for forty eight yards last Thursday

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: from Taysom Hill, the Jets are allowing more than five

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: catches sixty four yards per game to tight ends. They've

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: surrendered three touchdowns to the position over the last two games.

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: The Jets have so Nick Finette, especially a daily Dart. Uh,

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: he's worth a harpoon. Uh you know a C dart

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: relate to call them here. And lastly for the Saints,

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, can you give him a B but be warned.

63
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean he could go completely belly up, as we

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: all know, he could throw. It's one or the other.

65
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: It's really one or the other. I'm leaning towards the

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: other because it's the Jets, because it's the Jets who

67
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in eight straight games, with

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the most recent performances going to Gardner Minshew and Tyrod Taylor.

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Rod Taylor, I'm sorry, you know, Taysom Hill almost on

70
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: par with those guys as a passer, but of course

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: most dangerous on the ground, easing the only one opposing

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: quarterback has seen more than four rush attempts against the Jets,

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't Josh Allen who who faced on recently.

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: He had just two rush attempts. So not a lot

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: of you know, mobile quarterbacks on tape against New York

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: with Tarrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor had thirty yards on two

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: carries just two weeks ago. So Taysom Hill probably a

78
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: pretty good game here. Yeah, he's his own guy in

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: that I got, I got need to bacon the risk

80
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: of him potentially just yeah, he's got the foot injury,

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: but they took him off the injury part on Friday,

82
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: so fully healthy, fully mobile. I'm in on Taysom Hill's

83
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: big time against the Jets. There are not a lot

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: of Jets to be into this week, but Ty Johnson

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna give him a see based on expected volume.

86
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Michael Carter still on I R Tevin Coleman has been

87
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: ruled out with a concussion, so THI Johnson should be

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the guy. The Saints are a brutal matchup though for

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: running backs, both on the ground and uh in the

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: in the air. They're allowing less than ninety eight combo

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: yards per game to the position that second fewest. But

92
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: Johnson should see fifteen and twenty catches, I guess unless

93
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: Austin Walter, yes, steals some touches, which you might, but

94
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: he's on the bench. Walter is, but I'll give to

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: see the Tye Johnson. Elijah Moore, I will give him

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: a see if he plays. He's been questionable with a

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: quad injury. Twelve targets last week, so um. The concern

98
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: with Zack Wilson coming back quarterback out the window. He

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: was looking Elijah More his way. I think Jack Wilson

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: played the best game of his career last week. He

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: looked a lot better. Uh. Spoiler alert, He's gonna be

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: on the bench of those zat Wills and his Elijah

103
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: More A see if he plays. If he does not,

104
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: I'll give Jameson Crowder a see Crowder on the bench

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: though if More If Moore does play, Crowder saw six

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: targets last week, caught four of them for sixty something yards.

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: That's double digit PPR points, So he's viable if More

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: is out. But if More plays again, Crowder on the

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: bench and Zach Wilson bench. But hopefully better days ahead

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: for Zack. Jaguars take on the Titan Scott. We're gonna

111
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: do a deep dive a little later in this show

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: on James Robinson, but let's not. He's coming off of

113
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: pretty tough game and now he goes up against a

114
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: shockingly competent Titans run defense over the past I don't know,

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: six weeks or so. Yeah, and and Robinson is actually

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: the guy who had a hundred plus hard day against

117
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: that defense. But right before that five or six games

118
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: stretch where they haven't allowed it back to top seventy

119
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Uh. Right now, it's a banged up version

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: of Robinson, who's was inexplicably benched last week after a

121
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: fumble that he didn't even lose. Right, this bumble two

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: games in a row hasn't lost him before that. He

123
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: hadn't fumbled in twenty three games. It's not even an

124
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: issue for him. But Herbert Meyer needed to send a

125
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: message we don't recover our own fumbles on this team.

126
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: And I'm going to categories this as a sneaky squeaky

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: wheel game for him because I think urban Meyer took

128
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: a ton of heat from that, and other teammates spoke out. Yeah,

129
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: this week, I think Robinson actually gets his I have

130
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: a C grade on him. You could talk me into

131
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: a BE just on the amount of volume, but I

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: am worried at how much the Titans have improved over

133
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the last half a season. So I have a C

134
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: grade on him. Um, I'm not gonna gonna be somewhere

135
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: in between a B and a C. Okay, Alright, In

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: the past game I have on the bench, Trevor Lawrence

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: looks terrible. I rewatched that game. He's throwing it at

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: people's feet. His accuracy is horrible, just terrible. He throws

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the least catchable pass of any NFL starter. I agree

140
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: with that statement. Were you watching that game, it was

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: it was gross. You might say Treadwell's got fourteen targets

142
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: in the last two games. You know nobody's saying that. Yeah,

143
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I saw him picked up in a couple of leagues.

144
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: A third of his yards in the last two games

145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: came off of one play where the defender drop fell

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: fell down. So no bench the entire passing game. Uh,

147
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: it's just Robinson with a grade on that side. Over

148
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: on the other side, Tennessee Titans, Ryan Tannehill on the bench.

149
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just to multiple touchdown passing games this season,

150
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: just too after being so efficient over the last couple

151
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: of years. Uh, he's rushed for a touchdown in five

152
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: separate games, but you can't count on those, and he's

153
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: had a ton of low yardage day days. The Jags

154
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: d has been really, really improved. We've talked about that

155
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: on the show for a few weeks now. Um Stafford

156
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: let them up last week, but before that they had

157
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: they had held the previous five guys um four of them.

158
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: Four of the previous five guys under two hundred yards,

159
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: so they're there. I have Tan Hill on the bench

160
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: passing game, however, I think you can make some work

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: out of it if he concentrates his passes, which he does. Basically,

162
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: two guys Julio Jones will be back and he gets

163
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin who will likely be back. So I only

164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: have a C grade on Julio Jones, mostly because he's

165
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: a forty to sixty yard guy this year, but he

166
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: has that explosive upside and is shown in one game

167
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: this year and a J. Brown is not there, so

168
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: they might lean on him a little more um. And

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: also players that got eighteen players have gotten six targets

170
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: against the Jags, twelve of them top two hundred yards

171
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: or scored um and the end four of the other

172
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: one's top sixty yards. So like, if he's gonna get

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: six or more targets, it's possible, It's possible he reaps

174
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: the day. Uh Nick Nick Westbrook Keene, I have a

175
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: C grade on him too. I think if she Gil

176
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Griffin takes Julio, he's gonna have some open time out there.

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: I've just listed off what some wide receivers do with

178
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: six plus targets. I think both Julio and him gets

179
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: six plus targets. He has twelve targets in the last

180
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: two games. I have a secret I kind of like

181
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: him here you can, you can make a good case.

182
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: Then he's safer than Julio Jones. He gets red zone

183
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: targets to uh in the running game, Jeremy mc nichols

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: is likely to be back, which I think. I think

185
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: it bites into Hilliard is what it does. I think

186
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: Devon Deonta Foreman still gets his fifteen plus touches on

187
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: the ground and a little bit of receiving, just a

188
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: tiny bit, just enough to get him the volume. See

189
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: for me, um, they've a lot. The Jaguar have been

190
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: pretty good against the run this year, but they've given

191
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: him a hundred plus rushing yards in three straight And

192
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I think the game script here helps Foreman, so C

193
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: grade for him. Yeah, he's built for goal line use

194
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: and the others really on. That's what I had written down,

195
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: goal line use and you know, playing with the lead

196
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: Foreman startable in a pinch. Cowboys take on Washington, and

197
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: I've moved Zeke up to a C grade from the

198
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: bench he was at after we learned that Tony Pollard

199
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: has a torn planter fascia, and apparently it's the best

200
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: case scenario is the tear, the complete tear, and he

201
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: may actually play on it. But still you gotta figure

202
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: that that's going to have a pretty significant effect on

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: Pollard's running game and total usage. So even if he

204
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: does play, So we'll start Zeke here with a C grade,

205
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: but only a C grade heel e se Kiel Elliott

206
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: because Washington ranks number one in total yards allowed to

207
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: runners at just ninety three total yards. And if that

208
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and if he's gonna split that like I don't know,

209
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: seventy with Pollard, you know we're knocking him down to

210
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: like sixty yards. Now. The good news is Washington has

211
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: allowed to touchdown in nine different games. So your best

212
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: hope here is for a score for Zeke, which could happen.

213
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm keeping him with the C grade.

214
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: Nine times I did that manually. Don't have access to

215
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: the brain bar You gotta be the backup button barrow

216
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: guy over there. Down. That's that's very important key work

217
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: over there. Let's go to the passing game. Starting with

218
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: C D Lamb, he gets a Washington defense that has

219
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: allowed at least ninety yards or a score to the

220
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: opposing number one receiver in four consecutive games. Ceedee Lamb

221
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: is clearly the number one receiver for Dallas. With the

222
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: return of Michael Gallup, Lamb is playing much more from

223
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: the slot, and that's where he's gonna find. Danny Johnson,

224
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: who has been handling slot duties for Washington over the

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: past couple of games. He's given up a passer rating

226
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: of one two in his coverage, and Lamb has a

227
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: positive matchup, has a positive matchup on the rest of

228
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks as well if he doesn't line up in

229
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: the slot. So on a grade like usual on Ceedee

230
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: Lamb everybody else, though, I've bumped down to C grades

231
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: because Washington's past defense has improved a lot, and particularly

232
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: against none number one receivers for Marii Cooper. Over the

233
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,479
Speaker 1: four game win streak, Washington's allowing the fifth fewest receptions

234
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: and eleventh fewest yards per game, and non number one

235
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: receivers are averaging fewer than two receptions in twenty three

236
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: yards over the last four games, so Cooper just the

237
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: C grade did it with Gallup for really all of

238
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: the same reasons. Let's talk about also see grad. Let's

239
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about Dalton Sheltz, who comes into the C grade

240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: almost when b here. He's playing nineties six percent of

241
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: the snaps since Blake Jarwin went down, and he's averaging

242
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: seven targets, four catches fifty yards over that span, which

243
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Washington's allowing healthy five catches and fifty

244
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: eight yards per game to tight ends and they've given

245
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: up the seventh most red zone targets to the position.

246
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: So Shelt's got a decent chance of scoring in this one.

247
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: Still only have the C grade on him because he

248
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: really hasn't had hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer even

249
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: with Jarwin out. All right, let's go to the other

250
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: side for Washington. During this four game win streak, Antonio

251
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Gibson has been a monster, averaging twenty seven touches for

252
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: one hundred seven yards and almost a score per game.

253
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: I think you can safely expect more high volume from

254
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Gibson and particularly JD mkiss. It can't go and we

255
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: won't know he's shaping It was a game time decision.

256
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Opposing backs against Dallas who gets seventeen carries or more

257
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: are averaging one hundred total yards and zero points six

258
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game, and in two career matchups with Dallas,

259
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: Antnio Gibson has totaled forty carries for two hundred forty

260
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: three yards and four touchdowns in two games. Dallas, typically

261
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: pretty stingy against running backs, have only allowed eighty two

262
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game and six rushing scores per game,

263
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: so it's not an easy matchup. But on sheer volume

264
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: and keeping in a grade like he's a bell call

265
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: and a workhorse combined. Something. Oh, I like that? Could

266
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: he here's your there's it's a sleigh bell maybe or

267
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: I don't know it's here. That might be the answer

268
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: for Antonio Gibson. Let's go to the passing game. You

269
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: know what I didn't mention. I did not mention Dak

270
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: Prescott's great. I'm sorry about that. Back to Prescott for

271
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: just a second. Uh, I'd be great on Dak Prescott

272
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: if we rolled together Lamb and the sea grades they

273
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: gave to Cooper and Gallop and sheltz Um. This is

274
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: again an improved red skin. Sorry, formerly Redskins now Washington

275
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: defense over the past five games, Washington allowing just two

276
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: three passing yards at one point four touchdowns. So I

277
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: can't get him quite up to the A grade i'd

278
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: like to give. Dac and disappointed me last week too.

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I have an A grade on him. Last week. You

280
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: didn't do much, all right, So now back to the

281
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: back to the Washington passing game. Terry McLaurin has been

282
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: very hit and miss, which is weird because the bit

283
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: of the story and McLaurin up until this year had

284
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: been he'd been very safe, but this year very hit

285
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: and miss, and I worry a lot in this game.

286
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: On the plus side, opponent's number one receivers have generally

287
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: fared well against Dallas, including recent good games from Tyreek

288
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Hill and Hunter Renfro. Cowboys allowing an average of one

289
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: touchdown per game to wide out since Week six. And

290
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: I guess if there's one touchdown to go around, who

291
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: else would get it but Terry McLaurin. So I've got

292
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: to be great on him here, but just be aware

293
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: of the dud games that have surrounded much of his season.

294
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: And I mentioned J. D. McKissick Earlier's got the concussion.

295
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: He looks like he's a trending towards a game time

296
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: decision or some maybe something on Saturday or Sunday when

297
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: we'll learn more. If you believe the Cowboys are gonna

298
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: get head by a lot and he's active when Washington

299
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: is losing is when you can play McKissick. So if

300
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: you like Dallas in this game, give a C grade

301
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: to McKissick. And Um, it turns out Ricky Seals Jones

302
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: has a decent chance of going in this game. Did

303
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: you just leave it up to the listeners to grade him?

304
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: Do I give him a see if you if you

305
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: if you think, if you think Dallas is going to

306
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: be ahead, I usually don't take it, but I did. Um,

307
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones is probably gonna go. He sits tenth

308
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: among tight ends and red zone targets despite only seeing

309
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: thirty four total targets on the year, so they thrown

310
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: to him a ton in the red zone, which I love.

311
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Dallas is a plus match for tight ends. They're giving

312
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: up the eleventh most Fantasy points per game to the position.

313
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: So I've got a C grade on Ricky Seals Jones.

314
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Taylor Heinike on the bench, He's um, He's

315
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: been a middling producer. Plus, Dallas's past defense has improved

316
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot, allowing per game averages of just two hundred

317
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: forty three yards and zero point eight touchdowns over the

318
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: past six weeks, and they've shut down far better passers

319
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: than Heineke lately. Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan, Patrick Mahomes just

320
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: not enough good targets for Heineke as well. The last

321
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: four or five weeks, we've been saying, go grab Logan

322
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: Thomas for this amazing stretch. Now Ricky Seals Jones stays

323
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the same. If Steals Stones doesn't go, are you thinking

324
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: about John Bates? No, I will give you next sake it.

325
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I will give you the sneaky, awesome tight end to

326
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: pick up. The opportunity is golden and he is available

327
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: in your lead. Is gonna play though, so he's gonna go.

328
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: But regardless, we'll tell you who that is when we

329
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: come back to take a chance of me after this

330
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. This is a segment we

331
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: call take a chance. I mean not nine players and

332
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: not normally in your starting lineup. We'll tell you who

333
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: they are. Beginning at the quarterback position and Scott Fish. Yeah,

334
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jimmy Garoppolo, who seems to be a

335
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: staple of this some reason. I was just realizing as

336
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: I was looking at it. Over the last five the

337
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: be Thols are allowing an average of two seven yards

338
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: and two scores to opposing quarterbacks. Incomes to forty niners

339
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: who over the last month or averaging nearly thirty points

340
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: per game. There's an employed implied total of fifty year.

341
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: I just I just like Jimmy g in this matchup

342
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: for a score two and probably somewhere around two yards.

343
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: All right, you're take a chance of any quarterback, Brian.

344
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: The Texans are going back to rookie Davis Mills at quarterbacks.

345
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm rest of the just find out what you got

346
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: in him, to make sure you know if he is

347
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: a plausible starter going forward, no doubt. And he's got

348
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: the Seahawks at home this week, which is a pretty

349
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: good matchup over the last three weeks. Colton McCoy, who

350
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: was just Colton McCoy and didn't have DeAndre Hopkins through

351
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: three yards and two passing touchdowns, and Jimmy Garoppolo just

352
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: did that last week without Deebo Samuel and Jimmy g

353
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: is not all that great, So why not Davis Mills

354
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: and over Seattle's last five games, opposing quarterbacks are averaging

355
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: forty pass attempts per game. It feels like a spot

356
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: where Mills will throw at forty plus times. Seattle also

357
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: just lost safety Jamal Adams for the season with a

358
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Bellow safety Quandre Digs very questionable to play

359
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: with the calf injury. So I'm kind of feeling to

360
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: shootout in Houston. I'm liking Davis Mills and you'll find him.

361
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: You know you've on this on the daily sites for sure,

362
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: no doubt. Baker Mayfield was not playing well before the

363
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: bye week, but he was also dealing with shoulder, foot, knee,

364
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: and groin injuries. So presumably coming out of this bye week,

365
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: you'd like to believe two weeks between games that he's

366
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: in much better shape right now. And you'll remember early

367
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: in the season through the first handful of games, he

368
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: was actually pretty good when he was healthy. He gets

369
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: the Ravens this week, and this is a wobbly past

370
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: defense allowing per game averages of two hundred eighty passing

371
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: yards and one point seven passing touchdowns over the past

372
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: six games. If Baker Mayfield is gonna get to eighty

373
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, I'm in and nuts. Remember the Ravens

374
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: are now without cornerback Marlon Humphrey, their best cornerback who's

375
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: lost for the season. Baker Mayfield, I like it. Let's

376
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: go to the running back position. Your take a chance

377
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: of me runners. I'm staying with the San Francisco forty

378
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: Niners and I'm going with Jeff Wilson. He practiced in

379
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: full the last couple of days. Him and jama Ja

380
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Michael Hasty are the only two healthy running backs for

381
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: the forty Niners going into this game. And Jeff Wilson

382
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: had four games with fifteen plus touches last year, a

383
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: few of them in the twenties. He had a twenty

384
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: touch game just a couple of weeks ago when Elijah

385
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: Mitchell was out. I think he takes back that starting

386
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: role for this game with Mitchell out. Agreed, Brian, you

387
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: take a chance of me runner. I'm going with the

388
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Seattle's Rashad Penny at Houston just talked about this game. Now.

389
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: Um Alex Collins likely to make his return. But Rashad

390
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Penny was a first round pick about three years ago,

391
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: and he's healthy. He's never been healthy, but he's finally healthy.

392
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: He essentially split work with Adrian Peterson last week, who

393
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: just looks and Peterson. There's reports that Peterson won't even

394
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: be active for this game. Yeah, and he shouldn't be.

395
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: And don't read into the three carries for eighty yards

396
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: and a touchdown from Travis Homer that came on a

397
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: fake punt. So I feel it's a gut feel. Shot

398
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: Penny is gonna be the lead back all it can

399
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: be against. Shot Penny has given you no statistical analysis

400
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: to suggest he's any good. I swear there's been like

401
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: two games in his career has been healthy, and he

402
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: looks fantastic on Sunday. I believe that is true. And

403
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: it's not hard to look fantastic as a running back

404
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: against the Texans who are allowing a hundred and fifty

405
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: three combo yards and one point to five touchdowns per

406
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: game to running back. That the opportunity is there, You're

407
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: right about that. I'm going to Cuba Hubbard as he

408
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: takes on the Falcons. They fired their offensive coordinator Joe Brady,

409
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: mostly because he didn't run enough. Remember Matt Rules saying

410
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: he wants to run the ball thirty to thirty five times. Well,

411
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: if Cam Newton was my quarterback, I wouldn't want him

412
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: to pass either. I would want to run the ball

413
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: as much as possible, both with Cam and with Chuba

414
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: Hubbard doing it. During his five starts this year, Hubbard

415
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: averaged eighteen rushes eighty three yards. If those eighteen rushes

416
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: are going to be more now that Joe Brady's gone

417
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: May maybe he's got hundred hundred yard upside. And he

418
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown in eighty two yards against Atlanta

419
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: already once this year. So Juba Hubbard is my choice.

420
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to Scott and your receiver. Yeah, I'm going

421
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: with Josh Reynolds. He's he's been pretty on fire the

422
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, playing most of the snaps. He's

423
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: got that rapport with Jared Goff. This week he came

424
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: out they want Jared Goff to take more twenty plus

425
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: yard shots, that more shots deep down the field. He

426
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: was actually near the top of the league in that

427
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: category just a couple of years ago with McVeigh um

428
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds been the deep ball guy the last two weeks.

429
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: Three targets over twenty yards against the Bear Bears, three

430
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: more against the Vikings. He has three receptions over twenty

431
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: five yards UM and HISS. His average average yards per

432
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: reception is twenty yards. I think just a few deep plays,

433
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it. Brian, your take chance on me

434
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: receiver now. I was gonna go with the Chargers Jalen

435
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: Guighton before Keenan Allen was ruled out. Keenan Allen now

436
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: ruled out, I'm certainly still going with Jalen Guiton, who

437
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: caught all four of his targets last week for nine

438
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. It's still to be determined if

439
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is gonna play in this game. That will

440
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: make this very much a lay up. Take a chance

441
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: on me play with. The Giants are top five in

442
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: targets yielded and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. I might

443
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: a should have went deeper with Josh Palmer, but Jalen

444
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: Guiton Josh Palmer can become very viable this weekend against

445
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: the Giants. Austin Hoopers might take a chance of me

446
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: player and I love this opportunity. Now. Normally Austin Hooper

447
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: is part of a three man Cleveland rotation at tight

448
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: end with David and Joku and Harrison Bryant out this week.

449
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: That means what I'm out, Hooper is going to get

450
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: all the work. So allow me to tell you what

451
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: in Joku, Bryant and Hooper together look like this year.

452
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: If you give all of their average production to just Hooper,

453
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: your average game is six catches, seventy two yards and

454
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: half a touchdown. Who else is almost exactly six catches

455
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and half a touchdown t Travis Kelsey.

456
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: You've got Travis Kelsey in usage for the Cleveland tight

457
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: ends if you roll them into one guy, and that's

458
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper. This weekend, plus the Ravens allowed the second

459
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: most yards and the fourth most touchdowns too, tight ends.

460
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: What a DFS play Austin Hooper is. If you're struggling

461
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: at tight end, Darren Waller, whatever, Austin Hooper, that's the point.

462
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: If you've got Darren Waller, this is your pivot guy,

463
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper. So safe to say, across your leagues you've

464
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: been a Hooper Scooper. I've been jumping through hoops Cooper Scooper,

465
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: I like Whoper I do. It is pretty good. Good

466
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: Falcons take on the Panthers, Brian, we can just dispense

467
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: with the Kyle Pitts A plus plus. It's Fantasy phone

468
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: z right there for you. We're gonna have an in

469
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: depth edition of Fantasy Football Weekly to the off season. Yes,

470
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: will be a very civil conversation. Of course, this would

471
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: be a good one. We'll start with the sooner you

472
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: acknowledge that I was right on this, the sooner we

473
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: can just well, there's still a lot of season to play.

474
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: First off, but yes, we'll get Pits has not lived

475
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: up to his a DP, but neither of thirty of

476
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: the forty players that were drafted before him either. But

477
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get into that. Now. We're gonna get

478
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: into the Panthers and Tuba Hubbard. You'll take a chance

479
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: to be running back charge. I also like a Mira Abdullah.

480
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a c uh. In Week twelve,

481
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: when Christian mccaffee went down, Abdullah had twenty seven snaps

482
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: to the eleven from Cuba Hubbard. So in PPR against

483
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: a team like the Falcons throw a dart at a

484
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: mirab dula. I know I am in a deeper league,

485
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: so to see for him, just to be for d J. Moore,

486
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: the only wide receiver or tight end who matters on

487
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers at this point. But far and away,

488
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I've seen the most targets from Cam. Newton has notched

489
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: the most yards, touchdowns, and first down conversions from Cam.

490
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: The Falcons are allowing a healthy fourteen catches a hundred

491
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: and sixty yards one point to five touchdowns per game

492
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: to wide receivers more only at four catches for fifty

493
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: nine yards when these teams first met in Week Gate,

494
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: but still B grade for him, Robbie Anderson on the

495
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: bench and Cam Newton. It's really going one way or

496
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: the other. With Cam, it's like he's gonna go off

497
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: or he's gonna go sit on the actual bench. So

498
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut it right down the middle of him,

499
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: a B play it safe. I don't want he see,

500
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: well you can, I'm leaning. I'm leaning see they're gonna

501
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: lean on the run game more so than not, I

502
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: would think, And it could that could be Cam Newton.

503
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't know it could be Cam. Now keep in

504
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: mind he got benched in their last game. Yeah, he

505
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: looked really good bench three times last year. He's so

506
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: that's the frustrating thing. P J Walker should be starting

507
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: this game for Carolina and he's Unfortunately he's not. So

508
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to see he's probably the best passer on

509
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: the team, oh, for sure. Over to the he's the best.

510
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: P J Walker is the best passer in this game.

511
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: And that's including Matt Ryans thrown out of the way.

512
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. One six yards, one touchdown, two

513
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: interceptions when these teams first met. He's just god awful. Uh,

514
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Corrill Cordarrell Patterson is not, though I'm gonna give him

515
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: a B yet thirty five rushing yards, thirty seven receiving

516
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: yards in the first meeting, did catch a touchdown. Carolina

517
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: is very tough on running backs and wide receivers alike.

518
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to consider Patterson, but the guy's unicorny

519
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: really can't. I'm only benching him in one league, and

520
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: it's a guy team league where I'm in the finals

521
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: and I have like five stud running backs ahead of Patterson.

522
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: He gets a B and Kyle Pitts still gets to

523
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: see brutal matchup on paper for tight ends. Pitts is

524
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: a wide receiver of courts. Of course Carolina treated him

525
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: as such in the first meeting. Gil Morris shadowed him

526
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: in that game. Calvin really did not play in that

527
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: In that game, Calvin Ridley certainly not playing in this game.

528
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: Pitts had his worst performance as a pro, just two

529
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: catches thirteen yards, not afacking a monster game, But talent

530
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: and opportunity is still there. So a C for Kyle

531
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: Pitts and uh Russell gauge out through a ce dart

532
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: at him in PPR as well, go to a bank

533
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: b All right, Scott, all right, he missed, he missed

534
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: the first meeting. Um, yeah, well, Kyle Pitts is gonna

535
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: get like triple quadruple team because he's just such an

536
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: amazing talent. Though the Scott Fish I co signed the

537
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: b on Russell gage. All right, when we come back,

538
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: more matchups for you, including forty nine ers taking on

539
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals. We've already talked about some of the forty

540
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: niners that Scott Fish likes, including Jimmy Garoppolo, Jeff Wilson.

541
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: How much upside do you have from guys like Brandon

542
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Au and what do you expect from Deebo Samuel if

543
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: he plays on the groin injury a huge conundrum for

544
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. We'll talk about that when we come back

545
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. It is the final segment of

546
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: our number one a Fantasy Football Weekly. This is a

547
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: two hour operation. We're here to get you ready for

548
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 1: the fantasy playoffs. Your final playoff positioning potentially on the

549
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: line in this week's game. Almost everybody's got some kind

550
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: of movement. Almost nobody's locked into a particular spot quite yet,

551
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: probably not. We both agree, Scott that the last spot

552
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: in your playoffs should be awarded to not the team

553
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: with the next best record, but it should be awarded

554
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: to the team with the most points or potentially the

555
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: team with the best all play record that something like that,

556
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: because in this we're a better indicator of a great

557
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: team instead of schedule schedule luck. Because you your team

558
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: can't play defense, it's not it's not your fault. If

559
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: your opponents have scored a lot of points. Your fantasy

560
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: team doesn't play defense. So yeah, be creative with that

561
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: last spot and think about it for next year. If

562
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: you haven't already set that up. Let's go to some

563
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: of our matchups, beginning with the forty Niners taking on

564
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: the Bengal Scott. For the forty Niners, you already talked

565
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: a lot about Jeff Wilson at the running back position.

566
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Are probable starter? Is Jamichael Hasty a possible play here

567
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: or not? I think I think he could be a

568
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: dart throw if you're in a serious bind. I don't

569
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: have a starting grade on him. But keeping keep in mind,

570
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners give their running backs thirty touches a game,

571
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: and it very well could be twenty for Jeff Wilson,

572
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: and Jamichael Hasty might be able to do something with

573
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: the ten he gets. But I have him as the

574
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: second end of of of those two, and I don't

575
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: have a starting grade on him in the passing game.

576
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Might take a chance on me. Quarterback was Jimmy Garoppolo.

577
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: I liked him for two and a couple of scores.

578
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: That's I don't know where it's gonna go. But I

579
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: have an a grade on kill because I think it's

580
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: obvious at this point he's just playing like a beast.

581
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: Uh Deebo Samuel. If he goes, I have an A

582
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: grade on him if he goes, because he's just been

583
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: too efficient and productive, and I don't think they will

584
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: risk him if he's not good to go. I think

585
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: with that groin injury he can. If he can go,

586
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: he will go. All right. I see the concern in

587
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: your face. Groin injury plus the Dalvin Cook thing from

588
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: the other night, that's probably your Your concern is he

589
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: he could blow up? Okay, I'll give him a B grade.

590
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: I'll give him a B grade out of that concern.

591
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: How's that sound? Dalvin Cook's groin isn't in his shoulders though? No,

592
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Dalvin Cook situation of should I start them,

593
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: could they reinjure? Could they leave? Type of situation. Fine,

594
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I'll give him a B grade. I I still think

595
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: if he's going, he's probably gonna be a top ten guy.

596
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, I'm giving a B grade either way, if

597
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Debo goes or he doesn't. The top receiver against the Bengals,

598
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: and this is if Debo doesn't go has top ninety

599
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: yards and back to back and they've the Bengals have

600
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: allowed five receivers to top eight yards and or scoring

601
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: just the last two. Uh so even if even if

602
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: Debo goes, I think the second receiver can get some

603
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: work here. Yuk himself his top to eighty five yards

604
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: and three of his last five, and he's consistently seen

605
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: six plus targets even with Diebo Samuel, he was starting

606
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: to see that starting about the midway point. So I

607
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: have a B grade on Ayuke. On the other side,

608
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on Joe Burrow. Only one

609
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: quarterback his top two fifty yards on and that was

610
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: all the way back in Week one. That was a

611
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: long time ago. That was almost a false season ago.

612
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: That includes five quarterbacks under two hundred yards. They've allowed

613
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns and back to back. But given the way

614
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: this defense has held down quarterbacks and Burrows two injuries,

615
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: which supposedly he's been fine with this week in practice,

616
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: the best I can give him as a C grade

617
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: because this is one of the better offense with the

618
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: most weapons that the NS will have played this season.

619
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: So C grade on Burrow. Higgins I'm giving an A

620
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: grade too. He's just too hot. He's turned into the

621
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: player that he was last year, and Jamaar Chase has

622
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: fine has kind of taken a backseat. Yeah, and if

623
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: you look at the early season stats, the targets and receptions,

624
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: and they were going, they were going Higgins way. Chase

625
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: was just getting the big touchdowns, and we talked about

626
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: that earlier in the year. Those big touchdowns aren't coming anymore.

627
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: And Chase's best output in the last five weeks is

628
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: fifty two yards. He scored twice in that stretch. The

629
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: upside is there. So I have a B grade on

630
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: on Chase and a grade on Higgins because I think

631
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: he's going to get the bulk of the work. I

632
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: have Tyler Boyd on the bench, just two and consistent,

633
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: only top sixty yards four times this year. Now we

634
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: get to the running game. Joe Mixon has been dinged

635
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: up and sick this week. He was digged up last week.

636
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: He came back in and scored touchdown. He played the

637
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: rest of the game, but he's been He's been with

638
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: an illness this week. I have an A grade on

639
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Mixing if he goes, because I think that means he's

640
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: over his illness, and and so over the last five

641
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: weeks are surprising the fourth worst against fantasy running backs,

642
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: allowing seven rushing touchdowns in those five games. Mixing himself

643
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: has nine straight games with a touchdown. I probably could

644
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,479
Speaker 1: have phrased that to get a nine times out there,

645
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: but anyway, Yeah, but keep on an injury and iron

646
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: that injured, that that illness, because if he doesn't go,

647
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: pren becomes interesting in this spot. I would give him

648
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: a C grade or maybe even a B grade just

649
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: because of pure a ton of volume in a high

650
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, it's just recently they're giving up so

651
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: many touchdowns to running backs. But that's all I have

652
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: for that. Ravens take on the Browns, and on the

653
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: Ravens side, I want to start with Devon Freeman. Browns

654
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: allowing one fifteen total yards per game to opposing running backs.

655
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: That is the sixth fewest. I don't love this matchup.

656
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: Freeman though, averaging seventeen touches per games since taking over

657
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: as the starter, and had seventeen touches last time he

658
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: played the Browns two weeks ago, but he only that

659
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: only equaled sixty total yards, his second lowest output as

660
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: a starter. I don't love him here, but just on volume,

661
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: we'll give a C grade to DeVonta Freeman. Let's go

662
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: to the receivers now, Marcus Brown comes in with a

663
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: B grade. After scoring six times in the first seven games,

664
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: We're all like Markue's Brown, every week starter touchdown machine.

665
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: He's now been held scoreless for a month. He'll face

666
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: speedy cornerback Denzel Ward primarily this week, who's held opponents

667
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: to just twenty five yards per game in his coverage Hollywood.

668
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: Brown tangled with the Browns for a one yard game

669
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: in the last matchup and a score uh two in

670
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: two meetings last year. And Ward played every snap of

671
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: the one yard game, so he could do a little

672
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: something here. Also monitor Cleveland cornerback Greg Newsome, who suffered

673
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: concussion and practice. If he misses this game, you could

674
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: bump Marquis Brown up to an A I'm keeping I'm

675
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: putting a shot bateman on the bench at a massive

676
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: decrease in playing time the past two weeks, Apparently the

677
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: team has decided they don't think he's ready yet, and

678
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot more of Sammy Watkins and Devin DuVernay,

679
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: so he's out. Mark Andrews comes in with a B grade.

680
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Over the last five weeks, Andrews has seen a position

681
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: leading forty seven targets, and in his last match up

682
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: against Cleveland a couple of weeks ago, Andrews caught four

683
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: of ten targets for sixty five yards and a touchdown.

684
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: Browns are kind of the middle of the pack tight

685
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: end defense, giving up the nineteenth most fantasy points on

686
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: the year. But if you look at just the last

687
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: five weeks, they've been the seventh easiest matchup for tight ends.

688
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: So maybe trending the better direction here. So b grade

689
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: on Mark Andrews. If I were to ask you, guys

690
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: and listeners without don't look it up just top of

691
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: your head, how many games has Lamar Jackson had a

692
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown in this year? And don't answer a lot? Three?

693
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: How about one? That one game with a rushing touchdown

694
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson this year in that and he has

695
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: exactly one touched on by lance or air in nine

696
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: different games this year, nine times touchdown, only one touchdown.

697
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: That's depressing. He does have two hundred yard games, two

698
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: hundred yard passing game, rushing games, yes, that's I mean

699
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: that certainly helps. Um it's three straight underwhelming fantasy games

700
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: from Lamar Jackson, including a game against these same Browns

701
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when they held him to just one

702
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: hundred sixty five passing yards and sixty eight rushing yards

703
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: and one score. Cleveland comes out of its by allowing

704
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: just one hundred seventy five passing yards per game over

705
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: the last three That is awesome past defense. C grade

706
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson, and that is it. He's at this point,

707
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: he's lost the benefit of the doubt. I can't put

708
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: him on the bench because the rushing numbers keep him

709
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: fantasy startable, but the passing numbers just aren't good enough.

710
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Your grades, they're basically chopping my gig league right now.

711
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I bought that your team. Let's go to

712
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: the Cleveland side. You Mary called Baker Mayfield was might

713
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: take a chance, I mean quarterback Austin Hooper was might

714
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: take a chance on me receiver. That leaves us with

715
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. You want to monitor his knee injury here.

716
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: He's coming into this game as a game time decision.

717
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: You know my touchdowns Jarvis Landry has on the season

718
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: zero he has He has commanded at least eight targets

719
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: in four of the last six games, and he is

720
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: the best of the available receivers. Assuming he plays for

721
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Didn't have like like last year in Miami,

722
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: have like a hundred and ten catches and he didmember that. Yeah,

723
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: remember that. I remember that season very well. Um Baltimore

724
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: could He'll go up against Baltimore's Tavon Young and the

725
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: slot he gives up a seventy catch rate. So I've

726
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: got to see great and Jarvis Landry just for sheer volume,

727
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: he'll probably find his way to like fifty six to

728
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Will be scoreless there, So see great on

729
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: Landry your dart throw. Here is Donovan People's Jones, a

730
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: guy we mentioned on this show a lot who never

731
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: quite seems to produce to the level we would like.

732
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: He's shown flashes in the last month, producing a three

733
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: game stretch in which he averaged eighty six yards and

734
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: he scored three times. Baltimore Secondary has allowed four one

735
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: yard receivers in their last three games that are now

736
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: without Marlon Humphrey for the rest of the season, So

737
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity there. Let's go to the running game. Nick Chubb.

738
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: In his last game against this team two weeks ago,

739
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: he put up sixteen rushing yards and two yards per carry,

740
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: both his lowest numbers since his rookie year in any

741
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: one game. Baltimore's run defense is fantastic, allowing only seventy

742
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: two rushing yards per game, fourth fewest on just three

743
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry to opposing running backs. Chubbed

744
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: just to be here, and I've got a C grade

745
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: on Kareem Hunt. Will try to get something more done

746
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: through the air a little bit, but this is also

747
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: very again, very tough team to run upon, and I

748
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: don't expect a lot there. And he was held to

749
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: just twenty yards and two point nine yards per carry

750
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, so only the C grade on Kareem Hunt.

751
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: Our final set of matchups is the Seahawks taking on

752
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: the Texans. Brian, you already told us that you like

753
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny in this game, but let's flip it over

754
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: to the passing game. What do you think about Russell

755
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: Wilson coming off a nice outing, Yeah, Penny might take

756
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. If I'm gonna pick

757
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: one from Seattle, it is him to the passing game

758
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson gonna give him a B. He has

759
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: not looked great or even really that good since coming

760
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: back from injury, but he has top two thirty passing

761
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: yards with two passing touchdowns and back to back games,

762
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Houston has allowed the third most passing yards, but just

763
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: seventeen passing touchdowns, which is less than one and a

764
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: half per game. That said, the Texans have allowed the

765
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns the quarterbacks. Wilson still a threat on

766
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: the ground, so after all that, I'm gonna give him

767
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: a B. As well as both of his wide receivers

768
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: dk Metcalfe and Tyler Lockett. The Texans are allowing these

769
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: second most receptions in the third most yards per game

770
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers over the last five weeks. Lock It's

771
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: been not pretty good over the last to two games

772
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: three catches for ninety six yards and last week seven

773
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: catches for sixty eight and a touchdown. Hopefully he can

774
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: stay consistent. Gerald Everett though brutal touchdown last week yeah

775
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: and almost resulted in interception. He also lost two fumbles.

776
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: I think he's in the doghouse basically, I don't. I

777
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: don't trust him to get enough playing time in this one.

778
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: They might lean on Will dis Lay a little more

779
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: at tight end for the Seahawks. So Gerald Everett is

780
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: on the bench over to the Texans side, Brandon Cook's

781
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna give him a B. He's seen a thirty percent

782
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: target share when Davis Mills is at quarterback. The Seahawks

783
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: have been somewhat tough against wide receivers lately, recently holding

784
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams and Terry McLaurin below their standards. But I

785
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: mentioned and take a chance to me, they will definitely

786
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: be without starting safety Jamal Adams and likely without their

787
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: other safety Conjre Digs. So a B for Cooks based

788
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: on volume alone. Nico Collins, I don't expect expect mud

789
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: from him. He's on the bench, but it's still a

790
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: good dynasty stash. Now, normally we don't talk about Texans

791
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: tight ends, but for good reason because Brevin Jordan's and

792
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Pararell Brown last week combined for six catches on nine targets.

793
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: Sadly they're not one person. But Brevin Jordan's might not

794
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: play in this game. If he does not, Farrell Brown

795
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: walks into a matchup against the third easiest team against

796
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: tight ends, that is the Seahawks allowing six catches sixty

797
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: three yards per game to the position, So Farrell Brown

798
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: keep an eye on him. If Brevin Jordan's is ruled out.

799
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: Davis Mills might take a chance of me quarterback. I

800
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: think open the ball at least forty times in this game.

801
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: And uh, lastly, of the running backs, we don't really

802
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: talk about the Texans running backs much. Rex Burkhead is

803
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: starter inefficient. That's it is a lot of volume against

804
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: a bad un But David Johnson might take a chance

805
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: back this week though so but Johnson's not getting much either.

806
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: He was hurt. Lastly, I don't know, I'm not I'm

807
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: not recommending I'm start of Texans running back. That's all

808
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you're on a pinch, if you're in

809
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: a pinch deep league, in a pinch, then I think

810
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: you could go rexperg That's probably it. A couple of

811
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: quickies for you between now and the end of this

812
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: segment where and I want the exact spot where Cooper

813
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: Cup will be drafted in fantasy leagues next year. I

814
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: want the round and position Scott round one, sixth spot, Brian, yeah,

815
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: six or seven and probably going to be wide receiver one.

816
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: I would think overall draft, I mean, it's gonna go,

817
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna go Jonathan Taylor. Then Javonte Williams than A J. Dillard,

818
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: like all the all the ones people love. Davante Adams

819
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: might go before some leagues, but I think he's gonna

820
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: go three. I think you got the first two right

821
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: and the night GE's gonna go Cooper Cup three. In

822
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: part because the running back position burned so many people

823
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: last year, there's gonna be a great willingness to pivot

824
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: next year to go to wide receiver, and it'll be

825
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup when we come back. Plenty more matchups and

826
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: three tough questions. Play along is our panel of experts,

827
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: try to go three and Oh. It's Fantasy Football Weekly,

828
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by Guillotine Leagues dot com. Welcome back

829
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, our number two. I'm Paul Charchy and

830
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: my co host or Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. You

831
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: can follow Scott at Scott Fish twenty four on Twitter,

832
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: Brian is at b t x J on Twitter, and

833
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: I am at Paul Charchy. In Tough Question number one

834
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, Aaron Jones will outscore A. J.

835
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: Dillon by a a lot, be a little, or see

836
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: no no no. Dylan will outscore Jones. What do you think, Scott, Okay,

837
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: I'll start by ruling out a lot. I don't. I

838
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: don't think unless there's an injury, either one of these

839
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: guys is going to outscore the other by a ton um.

840
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Just because Dylan has been gained so much more work recently,

841
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: it would almost require missing time. Although Dylan got more

842
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: work in week twelve after jones one game absence, Jones

843
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: wasn't a percent. The bye week is probably gonna help

844
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: that Jones has a proven track record for, you know,

845
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: being efficient to the goal line in a much smoother pastor.

846
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: He just looks like a much smoother pastor. Even though

847
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,479
Speaker 1: Dylan can catch, he just isn't a smooth and doesn't

848
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: isn't as efficient, doesn't get as much production from it.

849
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: Even if they split more down the middle, middle, down

850
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: the stretch, I still Jones outscores him, not by a lot,

851
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: but just a little. So I'm going a little, a little,

852
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: all right, Brian. For the rest of the season, Aaron

853
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: Jones will outscore a j Dillon by a lot a little,

854
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: or Dylan will out score Jones. Yeah, Fish took most

855
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: of my talking points he mentioned. In Week twelve, Dylan

856
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: outscored Jones by a lot in that game. Jones was

857
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of a surprise active in that one, and and

858
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: the Packers kind of controlled that game against the Rams,

859
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: so they didn't really need to push Jones to a

860
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: certain extent. So Packers are on there by I still

861
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: think they go Dylan. I'm sorry, Jones is the lead back.

862
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: They'll certainly mix in A. J. Dillon a lot. He's

863
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: he's proven able to play at a very high level.

864
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: But I'm with Fish in that Jones will outscore Dylan

865
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: by a little bit. You guys hit all my talking

866
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: points pretty much here, and it is the correct answer

867
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: is Aaron Jones will outscore A. J. Dillon by a

868
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: little um. But I think it's it's really really close.

869
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: And I think this is a hard question if you

870
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: go back, I think it was weeks ten and eleven

871
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: or eleven and twelve when they were both healthy. Last

872
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: it was fourteen touches to fifteen touches for Dylan and Jones.

873
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: It was that close. And Dylan is viewed as a

874
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: cold weather mutter, as evidence by last year's Tennessee game

875
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: in the plus three stuff. Yes, twenty one carries in

876
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: that game, um, but also really salient to this topic

877
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: because Dylan's improvement as a receiver. He's caught thirteen passes

878
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: the past three weeks. But but to Scott's point, he

879
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: didn't as natural of a receiver as Jones is. So

880
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm still giving the edge to Jones by a little bit.

881
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: He's healthy, he's a proven special talent, and he's the

882
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: better receiver, and he still gets more snaps and touches.

883
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: The correct answer is a little tough question number two.

884
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 1: If se Kwam Barkley posts a dug this week against

885
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: the hapless Chargers run defense, do you sabotage drop him

886
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: next Tuesday? And for listeners that are maybe new to

887
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: the show, the sabotage drop is when you drop a

888
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: brand name player early in the week for the express

889
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: purpose of having somebody use up waiver equity and then

890
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: start somebody who's ultimately going to hurt them. That's the

891
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: premise of the sabotage drop. Say Kwon Barkley next week, Brian, Yeah,

892
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: if he drops a dud against the Chargers on Sunday,

893
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of a sabotage drop it

894
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: will be, because this is the best matchup Barkley's got

895
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: on the rest of the schedule. But yeah, if he

896
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: drops a dud, I'm dropping Barkley for sure. I mean,

897
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: the Giant season is lost. Not to say that Dave

898
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: Gettleman uh Indoor, Joe Judge, the head coach are gonna

899
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: do the right thing because they're pretty much gonna get fired,

900
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: I think. But they should shut down Barkley for their

901
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: mainder of the year, especially if he doesn't have a

902
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: good game against the Charger is something. There are many

903
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: things clearly wrong with that franchise. So yeah, if he

904
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go off against you know, even if

905
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: he has a good game against the Charge I almost

906
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: got part. I think you should. I think you really should.

907
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: I think that makes more of sabotage drop. So either way, yeah,

908
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm sabotage dropping, say Kwon Barkley, unless I'm like super

909
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: desperate running back. But overall yet, Scott, No, no, because

910
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: unless you're in a ten team league or a league

911
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: with twelve roster spots, you're not finding better running back

912
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: options out there, and you're neither your league mates that

913
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about starting guys like p Ryan and and

914
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: Wilson and Hasty and we just talked about Burkehead maybe

915
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: being a start and you're gonna they're not producing what

916
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: Barkley is even in Barkley's dud's game, You're not. You're

917
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: you're only helping your opponent to you know, not have

918
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: to start Burkhead and being able to get s Kwon Barkley.

919
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: The whole point of your sabotage drop is again to

920
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 1: make an opponent use waiver wire equity. Would that happen

921
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: if you dropped Sae Kwon Barkley? How much weaver wearing

922
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: money do people have left at this point in week four?

923
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: Answer is yes? And then would this pert? Would somebody

924
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: who picks him up then feel compelled to start Barkley

925
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: and he'll all really hurt them? Answer? Yes? The last

926
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: this the Chargers are your last good spot. The rest

927
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: of the schedule is straight brutality for the Giants. There

928
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 1: are no positive matchups left. In fact, every single team

929
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: left is in the top quarter in fantasy points allowed.

930
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: Two opposing running backs. We don't know when, if ever,

931
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones will return to help the offense, and at

932
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: some point they may just shut down massive parts of

933
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: their wide receivers since these guys can never get healthy

934
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: and this is pro football. Focus is ranked run blocking

935
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 1: line and that's not going to help Barkley either. Answer. Yes,

936
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: we're taking a chance on guys like Penny Tough. Question.

937
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: Appropriate level of concern for James Robinson is it? None? Some? Alright?

938
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: Bowl loosening level of existential dread Scott, He's the best

939
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: player on the team. Urban took a bunch of heat

940
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: this week. We've mentioned it. I mentioned this already. I

941
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: think it's a sneaky, squeaky wheel game. I think they

942
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: give him a lot more work going forward. I think, uh,

943
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the way this goes. However, this offense

944
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: doesn't move the ball very well. And as far as

945
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: coaching goes, urban Meyer makes Matt Naggy look like Andy

946
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: Reid like. Urban Meyer is not good. So for those factors,

947
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: not the production on the field, but for those factors,

948
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say some, Okay, some alright, Brian, appropriate level

949
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: of concern for James Robinson? None? Some or blowed? Are you?

950
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the benching of running backs after

951
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 1: they fumble, like they're doing it on purpose, like putting

952
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: them in the corner, like with the dunce cap, like

953
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: you'll learn your lesson never to fumble again. Urban was

954
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: like Belichick doesn't, so it's got to work for me too.

955
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: It's just such a tired practice. I'm so anyway, I'm

956
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: at some two and it's really just because not because

957
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: of the disciplinary reasons that I fear that urban Meyer

958
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: might bestow upon James Robinson moving forward. It's just the

959
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: offense is pretty bad and Robinson is the best player.

960
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: He does have two promising matchups starting next week with

961
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: the Texans and then the Jets in week sixteen. So

962
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: but still not I'm not blown on Jay rob not

963
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 1: a little, but just some some concern for him. Um,

964
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: here's your average game for James Robinson going all the

965
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: way back to week six. Week six was a long

966
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: time ago. That's the middle of October. Ten carries forty

967
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: three yards, zero point four touchdowns. That's it for James Robinson,

968
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 1: and he chips in almost nothing as a receiver. Ten

969
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: carries forty three yards. That's terrible. Heel injury is an

970
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: ongoing problem for him. And if you just watch James

971
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: Robinson run the ball, you can tell that foot is

972
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: bothering him. He's not running with the same Gusto that

973
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: he used to run with. Jaguars have the twenty six

974
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: ranked run blocking offensive line by Pro Football Focus. No

975
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: help coming there. Second lowest scoring overall offense at just

976
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: fifteen points per game for Jacksonville, and defenses don't have

977
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: to sweat the passing game because they don't have one.

978
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence having a dismal season so far. And lastly,

979
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Darryl Bebel's usage of Robinson is downright dispiriting.

980
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: The correct answer blowed. Oh man, I can feel it

981
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: in my insides, a bowl loosened level of existential dread

982
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: every time I think of starting that might that I'm

983
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: not ruling it out. That is possible. Let's go to

984
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: the Lions taking on the Broncos. Scott T. J. Hockinson

985
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: not expected to go in the game. Your player, your

986
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: offensive player the week is Jared Goff. Yes, like, yeah,

987
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: I did not see that coming. I actually I have

988
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: golf on the bench. I know it's crazy, but I

989
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: just think he's not going to produce much. He's thrown

990
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: for under two hundred and twenty yards and over half

991
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: his games. Jared Goff, Uh, yeah, you had a good

992
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: game last week. That's good for Jared Goff. The Broncos

993
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: are are are allowing opposing quarterbacks in average of two

994
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: or in thirty five yards, barely over a touchdown, and

995
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: about one interception per game. That's that's probably the ceiling

996
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: for golf in this one. I am going to give

997
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: a couple of starting grades here though. With Hawkinson out,

998
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: I had my take a chance on me player be

999
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds. I love his rapport with Goff and what

1000
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: he's done recently. Golf can throw for two hundred and two.

1001
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: Receivers can have okay days yeah maybe yeah, eighty yards

1002
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: for each and maybe a score for one of them. Uh.

1003
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross St. Brown, the sun God, who is

1004
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: the leading receiver wide receiver for the Lions. As I

1005
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: said before the season, it just wasn't very fairly start.

1006
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: I got the call red. Not for fantasy, though. I

1007
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: have a C grade on him. Uh. He's on the

1008
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: field like a the time he gets six. He had

1009
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: twelve targets last week, but he's getting six plus targets

1010
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: a game. I think with Hawkinson out, they're gonna have

1011
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: to lean on Brown and Reynolds. They have no other options,

1012
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: So I can see a ten plus target a six

1013
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: to ten plus target game for both Reynolds and Brown

1014
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: in this one. So I have C grades. They might

1015
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: just get their own volume. Maybe they get you a score.

1016
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: In the Running Game, Jamal Williams is placed on the

1017
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: COVID list on Friday, which means it's it's he's vaccinated.

1018
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: So he could have a negative test Saturday. Maybe they

1019
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: test him that day and maybe you can play, but

1020
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty unlikely he's gonna go. We're looking at a

1021
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: stack of Jamaar Jefferson and Uh, Godwin Iguay Beiqway. I

1022
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: think EU come to this. Yeah, it would be the

1023
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: one that gets the majority. He had a lot more

1024
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: snaps than uh than Jamar Jefferson last week he played.

1025
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: He's played the backup role more or maybe and watch

1026
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:21,240
Speaker 1: what this is gonna happen. They're gonna promote Cuztown Cuts

1027
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: Town University Golden Bear product, Craig Reynolds off the practice

1028
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: squad and he is gonna vulture touchdown, so that everybody

1029
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: out Sunday is like, who is Craig Reynolds. That's probably

1030
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. If you like anyone in this game,

1031
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: it's probably Godwin Equabiquay. But I have them both, all

1032
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: three of them on the bench, even if they bring

1033
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: up Craig Reynolds to matchup anyway. But you heard Craig

1034
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: Reynolds here. If he's touchdown on the other side, Teddy Bridgewater,

1035
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: I have him on the bench, don't worry. I can

1036
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 1: tell by your side. He hasn't had a multiple score

1037
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: game in five weeks. They mainly lean on their run game.

1038
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: Just what they should do with with those running They

1039
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: have talented receivers. The problems, Teddy, the problems in Jerry Judy.

1040
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: It's not Sutton either, receivers Tim Patrick. But Sutton hasn't

1041
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: topped forty yards in the last five weeks since Judy cast,

1042
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench. Jerry Judy, I do have

1043
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: a B grade on He's got thirty targets since returning

1044
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: that six per game. Unfortunately, he hasn't scored at all

1045
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: this year and he's averaging just fifty five scoreless yards.

1046
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of eight yard days. Only a

1047
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: B grade because it's the Lions. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly it.

1048
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: It's the matchup, uh, the opposing top receiver against the

1049
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Lions this year averages one hundred and eleven yards. That's

1050
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: the average of the top receiver against the Lions. Most

1051
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: of them went over a hundred obviously with that average,

1052
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: So B grade on Jerry Judy, Uh for the tight

1053
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: ends Fanton Albert Oh I have on the bench. They're

1054
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: monopolizing each other and most of their work is at

1055
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and they don't get yards after

1056
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: the catch like it's think it's a perfect storm of

1057
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: of I don't know, terrible nous. Uh with the running game.

1058
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: B grade on Javonte Williams and a C grade on

1059
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, who I do think goes. I know they

1060
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: were splitting the work very evenly before Melvin Gordon was

1061
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: out on injury. I think now they start to lean

1062
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: more and more towards Javonte Williams after what they saw

1063
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: the Lions have been. I hope you're right, but this

1064
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: sounds like wishful fantasy guy talk. He's coming in ding

1065
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: dup too well, I know, but Gordon played. Gordon practiced

1066
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: all week, and you know this is gonna I think

1067
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be way more frustrating than fantasy owners

1068
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: want to believe. I like the Denver Beat writer who

1069
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: said Gordon practicing, which is good news, and it was like, right,

1070
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: I want Gordon to be healthy. You like good for

1071
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Contract next year? We want

1072
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: Bell Cou Javonte Williams every week and Gordon said this

1073
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: week he wants to come back next year to the Broncos.

1074
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: No welcome. Sorry, he will not be the two over

1075
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: Javonty won't be the two overall, but he'll be that

1076
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: under uh Lions have given up twelve scores to a

1077
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 1: given up touchdowns to twelve different running backs this year,

1078
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 1: so I I have starting grades on both those guys,

1079
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: all right. When we come back, Raiders take on the Chiefs.

1080
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: The trickiest play of the entire week is Patrick Mahomes.

1081
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: We will give you the vast range of possible outcomes.

1082
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm Patrick Mahomes and we were just talking Broncos and

1083
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: Broncos receivers. Of course, I think we all want to

1084
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: pay our respects to to Marrius Thomas. Legends, four consecutive

1085
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: top twelve PPR finishes from among all positions, the guys,

1086
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: just the absolute Legends. Rest in peace to Marius Thomas

1087
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: and for your fantasy necessities for this weekend. Patrick Mahomes.

1088
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: When we come back, what in the world to do

1089
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: with him? He's tortured your fantasy team for the better

1090
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: part of six weeks. We'll tell you what to expect.

1091
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: We return, It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Scott Fish,

1092
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson with you. We continue on through the matchups

1093
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: of week number fourteen, Raiders at Chiefs. I want to

1094
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: start with the running game of the Raiders and Josh Jacobs,

1095
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: who did nothing when these teams met ten weeks ago.

1096
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Sorry in Week ten, but the Raiders are playing from

1097
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: behind throughout that game and got completely smoked in the

1098
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: second half, so you know, the running game was never

1099
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: really a factor. Jacobs is sitting on a high volume

1100
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: game and all probability here because Kenyan Drake's out and

1101
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Rochard is likely to miss the game with COVID,

1102
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: so we're gonna see a lot of Josh Jacobs in

1103
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: this game. Casey is a good run defense. Only Javonte

1104
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Williams last week was able to top eighties six rushing

1105
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: yards and it took Javonte Williams twenty three carries to

1106
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: get there. But Casey is allowing the eighth most receptions

1107
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and the third most receiving yards per game to opposing

1108
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: running backs. And I think Josh Jacobs will help chip

1109
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: in some through the air mileage for you as well.

1110
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 1: Seven different backs of top five catches against Kansas City,

1111
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: and I think Jacobs is going to get to that

1112
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: five catch mark and potentially over that. So B grade

1113
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: on Josh Jacobs is somewhat random. I haven't fully fact

1114
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: checked this, but Jacobs is only one month older than

1115
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Nagy Harris. I believe. Yeah. Wow. Let's go over to

1116
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: the passing game, and I want to start with receiver

1117
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro has been very consistent and with Waller out

1118
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: of the lineup last week, he saw double digit targets

1119
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: for the first time this year. Notched his second consecutive

1120
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: one hundred yard game last week. He has now scored

1121
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: or hit one hundred yards and four of the last

1122
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: five games. He's been highly startable ever since the Henry

1123
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Ruggs situation. Renfro tagged k C for a touchdown in

1124
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Week ten. Slot corner led Jarius Snead gives up a

1125
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: seventy six percent catch rate and a passer rating of

1126
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: one hundred seven, and he gave up his fourth score

1127
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: of the year last week. So Hunter Renfrow comes in

1128
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: with a solid be here. Foster Moreau was a popular

1129
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: pivot at tight end last week. I liked him last

1130
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: week and he was he was bad. Well, it wasn't bad.

1131
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: He isn't throw to him. I think, yeah, I think

1132
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: you go back to the well a little bit here. Um.

1133
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: And on the season, the Chiefs are allowing the eighth

1134
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. They've

1135
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: been better lately, though, allowing the second fewest fantasy points

1136
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: to tight ends over the past five weeks. In the

1137
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Week ten meeting, Waller healthy then was targeted seven times,

1138
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: but turned him into just twenty four scoreless yards. I've

1139
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: got a C grade on Foster Moreau because who else

1140
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: do you even throw to start a Renfro? It's an

1141
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: It might be Derek Carr if those are the receiver

1142
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: grades I've got. Um, I like Derek Carr, just to

1143
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: see level here. Since the Rugs tragedy, the Raiders passing

1144
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: game just hasn't been the same. Who knew Henry Ruggs

1145
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: on the limited usage he was getting was so pivotent.

1146
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: He kept the top off, he kept a safety DP

1147
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: that That's exactly it, I think, further complicating matters, No,

1148
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Darren Waller here, Car's track arket against the Chiefs is solid,

1149
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in three straight games, including his two d

1150
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: sixty one yard two touchdown game in Week ten against

1151
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: this same team. But the chief secondary has become really good.

1152
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: Remember how terrible the Chiefs were at the start of

1153
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: the season to reverse completely. Since Week six, the Chiefs

1154
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: have per game averages of just two hundred twenty eight

1155
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: yards and one touchdown pass per game. That's it, Derek

1156
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: Carr c grade. Now let's go to the toughest call

1157
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: of the entire week, I think by a mile, Patrick Mahomes,

1158
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: and what do you do with him? So when these

1159
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: teams met in Week ten, Mahomes went berserk, throwing for

1160
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and five touchdowns. But in the five

1161
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: games surrounding the Raiders game, he's averaging two hundred eighteen

1162
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: yards and zero point four touchdowns. How bad is two

1163
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: eighteen yards and zero point four touchdowns the only starting

1164
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: quarterback over that same span with worse than two hundred

1165
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: eighteen yards and zero point four touchdowns is Trevor Lawrence.

1166
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: That's it. The only quarterback worst than Mahomes. And on

1167
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: top of everything else, the Raiders secondary has been on

1168
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: the whole awesome this year except for the Mahomes game

1169
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: in Week ten. So this is why it's so hard.

1170
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence have more combined commercials

1171
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: than passing touchdowns this season. You may be correct about that.

1172
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Vegas ranks number two in pass rush by Pro Football Focus.

1173
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: They've got the excellent cornerbacks Casey Hayward and impressive rookie

1174
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Nate Hobbs. Three of the fast past five quarterbacks to face,

1175
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders haven't even hit one passing yards. I went

1176
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: between a B and C grade on Patrick Holmes for

1177
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: a long time. What could you do in this instance?

1178
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Because I'm a man about it, we go whole letter grades,

1179
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: and I decided on a B grade for Patrick Mahomes.

1180
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: He is my eleventh ranked quarterback this week. Tyree Hill

1181
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: faced the Raiders secondary in Week ten. Torched him for

1182
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in that game, and they gave up five

1183
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Um, but here's the funny thing. They

1184
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: they found ways to get him not on Casey Hayward,

1185
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: primarily because they ran him in the slot a lot,

1186
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: and they could do that again here. That puts Tyree

1187
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Hill up against Nate Hobbs, and Hobbs is pretty good.

1188
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: But it also puts him up against safety Jonathan Abram

1189
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: and that's where he'll roasted this team. And if they

1190
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: can get that Abram matchup again. I like Hill, I've

1191
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: got a B grade on him, but he has also

1192
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: struggled significantly over the past six weeks. He's had dud games,

1193
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: so there is some caution here and that's why you

1194
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: only have the B grade on Tyreek l Travis Kelsey

1195
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: coming off a down game. He smoked the Raiders in

1196
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: Week ten like everybody else did um and the Raiders

1197
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: have struggled defending tight ends their thirty feet and Fantasy

1198
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: points allowed to the position, including consecutive top twelve finishes

1199
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: by opposing tight ends. When a grade on Travis Kelsey

1200
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: in this game, let's talk about Clyde Edwards a layer.

1201
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Over the last five games, the Raiders are allowing one

1202
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: hundred fifty total yards per game to opposing running backs,

1203
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: which if put over the whole season, would be six

1204
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: and most starters are doing most of the damage. Starters

1205
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: alone are averaging over one total yards in a score

1206
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. I like Clyde Edwards, a layer who's conceiving,

1207
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: who was seeing more and more playing time as he

1208
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: gets healthier and now really should be at full health.

1209
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: We've got a B grade on Clyde Edwards, a layer

1210
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: in this matchup. I like him. Here Giants take on

1211
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Brian, there is not much left of this

1212
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Giant's offense. Let's start with say Kwon Barkley. We talked

1213
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: as we alluded to in the last segment, this feels

1214
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: like the last great chance to start say Kwon Barkley. Yeah,

1215
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: he was put on the injury report this week with

1216
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: an ankle issue, so does monitor that. But he he's

1217
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: likely to play, and if he does, it's a good matchup.

1218
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him a B. If Barkley suits up, the

1219
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers are allowing more than forty combo yards and

1220
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: one whole touchdown per game to posing running back. So

1221
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: B for Barkley. And if for some reason he does sit,

1222
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Davante Booker an easy CE for him, who will fill

1223
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: in as the starting running back if Barkley is out.

1224
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of out, Darius Tony is out at wide receiver.

1225
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is questionable, but pretty much just always rule

1226
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: out Sterling Shepherd if he's questionable at this point in

1227
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the week. So that leaves us with Kenny Golladay and

1228
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton talking about the Giants wide receiver is just

1229
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: incredibly depressing and you don't have to do it. They're

1230
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: both They're both on the bench, Golladay and Slayton. Chris

1231
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Harris likely to play. He's on the COVID reserve list

1232
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: UH as of now, but he should play. Assante Samuel

1233
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: should make his return. He missed last week with a

1234
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: non COVID issue. So Golladay slating on the bench. Evan

1235
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: ingram I will give him a see if the Chargers

1236
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: have surrendered the second most touchdowns to the tight end

1237
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: position at nine. But Mike Glennon is your quarterback, not

1238
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones is any better, but I mean just

1239
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: he's probably a little better. But if you're starting positive

1240
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: matchups that we we we keep thinking, well, this is

1241
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 1: a positive matchup, it never materializes for him. Go get uh.

1242
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just go be a Hooper Scooper or even

1243
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: baby for Faroh Brown even like it's the better options

1244
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: in Evan Ramount there. Okay, that's enough for the Giants.

1245
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Over to the Chargers side, Austin Ekeler, easy a here

1246
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the Giants are allowing plus combo yards per game. Easy

1247
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: a for Eckler, sadly an easy bench for Keenan Allen,

1248
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: who has been ruled out with the virus. Uh, it's

1249
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: a great matchup for him. The Giants are top five

1250
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: and targets yielded and touchdowns allowed. Two wide receivers. So

1251
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 1: if Mike Williams play is he gets an a very

1252
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: good games in two of his last three, but for

1253
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: whatever reason he's ruled out. Well, Jalen Guytons might take

1254
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 1: a chance to be wide receiver before anyone was ruled out,

1255
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: But now Keenan Allen out. If Mike Williams is out,

1256
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Guiton gets an A. I guess, but maybe we'll

1257
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: go under the presumption that Mike Williams I don't think

1258
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: not playing helps Guy, and I think Guy probably right.

1259
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: So a Guyton uh a very solid sea. And then again,

1260
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer, keep that keep that name of mind. Rookie

1261
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer could be very viable. If Williams sits so

1262
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: h you're still gonna want to start whatever healthy pass

1263
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: catchers are out there for the Charges. Let's put it

1264
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: that way. Against the Giants, including Jared Cook at tight end.

1265
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about Donald Parham stealing some targets

1266
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:54,560
Speaker 1: from Cook, but Cook is okay, well, I hope so

1267
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I got him in a ton of a ton of

1268
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: best ball leagues. I would much rather have par him

1269
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: score over Cook, but a good matchup. It's allowing five

1270
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: and a half catches nearly six yards per game to

1271
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: the tight end and Justin Herbert, I mean he's great.

1272
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: Obviously depends on the availability of Mike Williams, but even

1273
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: if Williams is out, you still gotta love the air Bear,

1274
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: and this one I'll give him just a safe be

1275
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Good quarterbacks have fared well against the Giants.

1276
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes still a good quarterback,

1277
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I guess, and Tom Brady uh combined to average two

1278
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: four yards and two and a half passing touchdowns against

1279
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. Is here so air Bear could do the same.

1280
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Bills take on the Bucks. Scott and we're gonna throw

1281
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: out last week's game. Don't care anything about what happened

1282
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: the Cold Wind game. First, we're throwing out last week's

1283
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Monday perfect. All right, to talk to me about the

1284
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Bills in this offense and what you like against the Buccaneers.

1285
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: So earlier I mentioned this this game is to you

1286
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 1: off off I said, this game is basically all a's

1287
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe a few bees. So I went and checked. This

1288
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: game has two quarterbacks in bull of our top five,

1289
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: three wide receivers in both of our top fifteen, and

1290
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: two tight ends in both of our top six, and

1291
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: a running back in both of our top five. Okay,

1292
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: so there's a lot to like here. So there's a

1293
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: lot to like here. On the Bills side, my number

1294
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, number one quarterback for the week actually uh,

1295
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a grade uh thrown out last week's game,

1296
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: but before that, before last week, he had multiple scores

1297
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: and nine of his last ten. The Bucks started the

1298
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:32,839
Speaker 1: season poor against quarterbacks, have held down passing numbers decent recently,

1299
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: but those quarterbacks were Jalen Hurts, justin fields, Trevor Simmey

1300
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: and Tyler Hanicky, Daniel Jones just some pure TOSSI tossers

1301
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: right there, just really good quarterbacks. They've held down um

1302
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, Wentz and Ryan managed to throw

1303
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: for about three each Bucks to he is healthier, but

1304
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Allen's still getting the grade. Three hundred plus and a

1305
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: couple of scores. I think, uh Digs a grade reminds

1306
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: remains the only wide receiver you can start with con

1307
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, the other three just monopolize each

1308
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: other too much. None of the other three are even

1309
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: finding their ways to way to fifty yards very often.

1310
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 1: So the top receiver against the Bucks has had a

1311
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: hundred plus and or scored in four the last five

1312
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: five games, and Digs himself has scored in six of

1313
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: the last seven before that Monday night game. He also

1314
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: sees nine targets per games, So a grade on Stefon

1315
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Dicks be great. On Dawson Knox, despite saying I was

1316
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: throwing out the Monday night game, He's still had six targets,

1317
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: a couple of jobs, one knocked out of his hands,

1318
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: but still they trusted him in that weather for six targets,

1319
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: which I kind of like they throw him in the

1320
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: end zone. Ye. This year he has scored nine times,

1321
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: which is a lot for that end, and has constantly

1322
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: looked too in the red zone, just like he's he

1323
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: gets fired with light level looks in the red zone.

1324
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,799
Speaker 1: But he's missed a few games to which more impressive

1325
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: bucks or bottomed against tight ends. Although it's been more

1326
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: like death by a thousand paper cuts a ton of

1327
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: twenty to fifty yard days by multiple tight ends on

1328
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: the same team, Knox gets basically all tight ends. So uh,

1329
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: all the running backs around the bench, though, I will

1330
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: say last week's Moss output, they weren't gonna have bright

1331
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: in there. He's a pass catcher. They were not going

1332
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: to have him in there for that that you know,

1333
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: windy snowy game, that that wasn't going to be his game.

1334
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 1: I think he comes back for this one. If you're

1335
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: really in a pinch, maybe, But I have a bench

1336
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: grade on him. Over to the Tampa Bay side, a

1337
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: grade on Tom Brady. He's my number three quarterback. I

1338
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: think he's like your number four or five. It's the

1339
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. It pivots on Tradabus White not you know,

1340
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,799
Speaker 1: being out now exactly and exactly without him. That takes

1341
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: a that takes a really key element of this Buffalo

1342
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: passing game off the field. We didn't. It didn't matter

1343
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: last week because nobody threw against Buffalo, but will this

1344
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: week and then this game has an implied total in

1345
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: the mid fifties. It's it's scheduled to be a shootout.

1346
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Like the Bucks. The Bills have held down a lot

1347
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: of qbs like Ben Roethlisberger, Jacoby Brissett, Hi Uchi, Davis Mills,

1348
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill too much, Reevor Madam, Mike White, went Simeon like

1349
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: they've the guys. They've held down their Their entire schedule

1350
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: has been a cupcake QB schedule. Treevious White now out.

1351
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: Brady has just two games where he failed to have

1352
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: multiple scores this year. He has finished as a top

1353
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: five quarterback for the week seven times, so I have

1354
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: him in my top five once again. Godwin A grade.

1355
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: This is a much meteor matchup than I thought. It was.

1356
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: All the eight grades A grade for Godwin. Without Trenevious wedding,

1357
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have covered him anyway. He would have been

1358
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: on Evans on the outside. He wouldn't have covered Godwin

1359
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: in this slot. Probably are most of the time, but

1360
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: the Bills have played one game without Tevious White, and

1361
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: that was the crap fest last Monday night. So we

1362
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: don't even have any data point on what it's like

1363
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: to pass against this team without Jadeveous White this year.

1364
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Um that said, they've only the Bills have only allowed

1365
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: three wide receiver touchdowns all year and no one yard receivers.

1366
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: That's concerning. But last week Godwin had activated god mode

1367
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: against Atlanta Antonio brown Out. The targets really really funneled

1368
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: to Godwin and Evans. Brashad Perriman has taken on that

1369
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver three role. He has overtaken Tyler Johnson, but

1370
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: he's doing nothing with it. All the targets are going

1371
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: to Evans and Godwin. So and A on god Godwin,

1372
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: be on Evans. He's getting the targets yard, He's not

1373
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: getting Godwin's targets yards and receptions. But he's got ten

1374
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns on there. He's got twenty three with Brady in

1375
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: two years. That's where he scores. He's got high odds

1376
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: of scoring here. Speaking of high odds of scoring, yeah,

1377
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Gronk House a grade. It's just obvious to this point though,

1378
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: like he's he was tight end too before he left.

1379
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,879
Speaker 1: I think he's tight end too again now after he's

1380
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: back from his injury. His worst game was four catches

1381
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: for fifty five yards, which is like, that's that's best.

1382
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: A B grade. His his floor is a B grade

1383
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,759
Speaker 1: and he's got tight end one upside every game. Leonard

1384
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Fournette A grade. He leads all running NFL running backs

1385
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: and receptions, which of course we obviously knew that was

1386
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Receiving leader for running backs. He has at

1387
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: least six catches in each of the last four games,

1388
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: basically a lock for sixteen twenty five touches. With that

1389
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: reception total receptions coming in, I got an A grade

1390
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, that makes it. It makes sense. Leonard

1391
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Fournette has been money for I don't know three four

1392
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: weeks and really most of the year. Going back to Gronk,

1393
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: it's like a reverse homecoming. He used to murder the

1394
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: Bills when he's with the Patriots because he's from buffal

1395
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,639
Speaker 1: Like just monster games like weekend and week every time

1396
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: he faced Buffalo. When we come back, two matchups left

1397
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: the Sunday night here in the Monday night here Rams

1398
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: taking on the Packer, sorry, Bears taking on the Packers.

1399
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what to expect from David Montgomery and

1400
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: how many points do you need to do? You need

1401
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: a calculator to try to figure out how many points

1402
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Davante Adam is going to score in this game. We'll

1403
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 1: talk about that when we come back. Final segment Fantasy

1404
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: Football Weekly coming up. The final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly,

1405
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: our last chance to get you ready to improve your

1406
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 1: playoff positioning. Paul Charchy and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson

1407
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: with you. The Sunday night game is Bears taking on

1408
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,600
Speaker 1: the Packers. Let's talk about David Montgomery. Came into the

1409
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: week hobbled, came out of the week not on the

1410
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 1: injury reports, should be in a good spot here. In

1411
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: four career games against Green Bay, David Montgomery averages a

1412
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: solid seventeen touches for ninety two yards, and he has

1413
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: scored in two of the four games. But I think

1414
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a little more activity than that, in

1415
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: part because Justin Fields is back under center, and he

1416
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 1: average is just twenty passes per game, the lowest of

1417
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: any starting quarterback in the league. And if that means

1418
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: that he's gonna have that low of a volume, it

1419
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: means Montgomery's got to have more touches than just seventeen

1420
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: per game. Green Bay, though, is a good run defense.

1421
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: No back has hit triple digits all year, and they've

1422
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: only given up one rushing touchdown in their last four games.

1423
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: So be great and David Montgomery. I like the volume,

1424
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't love the matchup here. Let's go to the

1425
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: passing game. Darnel Mooney is about the only guy worth

1426
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: talking about. Packers allow the fourth highest average depth of target,

1427
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: which is salient for him because Darnel Mooney is very

1428
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: fast and the deep connection with the big arm at

1429
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is tantalizing. But the Packers secondary likely or

1430
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: maybe gets back Jr. Alexander and Kevin King to bolster

1431
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: a defense that has allowed some big games without them.

1432
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: But if they're back, I'm nervous on Mooney and I've

1433
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,799
Speaker 1: just got the C grade on him. Alan Robinson's expected

1434
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: to make his return from it, this long standing hamstring injury. Boo.

1435
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: I know, right at bad time to be coming into

1436
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: free agency for Allen Robinson. Um, I just don't think

1437
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: I'd worry that he's not going to get the full

1438
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: workload here. I have a league with pretty sharp people

1439
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and he's not even rostered right now. Dang, that says

1440
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot. Justin Fields is on the bench as well.

1441
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: It's a difficult matchup against the good secondaries. I mentioned Jr.

1442
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: Alexander Kevin King patent potentially coming back. Fields struggled in

1443
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: this matchup in week six, throwing for a meager one

1444
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: hundred seventy four yards and completing barely half his passes.

1445
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: He ran for forty three yards in that game. And

1446
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: that's your only hope for fantasy relevance here for Justin

1447
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: Fields is on the ground. Five different quarterbacks have run

1448
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 1: for at least thirty two yards against the Packers. Thirty

1449
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: two is not even that much. In the three games

1450
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: prior to fields injury, Matt Naggie allowed him to run

1451
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: eight times, eleven times and eight times, so that's really important.

1452
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: This is where the fantasy points can come from for

1453
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is on the ground. I've got a bench

1454
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: grade on him, but you could hope that he gets

1455
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,680
Speaker 1: another eight three eleven rushes and he could turn that

1456
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: into forty or fifty yards him up to a sea eight,

1457
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: eight and eleven That averages out to nine times over

1458
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: the three course. Why you don't say how nice. All right,

1459
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: let's go over to Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers and Davante

1460
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Adams are obvious as they are my number one ranked

1461
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: players at their respective positions. How about going a little

1462
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: deeper into the depth chart. MVS is a possible dart

1463
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: throw here because the Bears have got one good cornerback,

1464
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson, and he'll travel with Davante Adams. They let

1465
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: him shadow if there's an opposing number one receiver who's

1466
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: really good. He's shadowed in the past. That puts MVS

1467
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: on some combination of Already Burns, Xavier Crawford, and our

1468
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: old friend kendallville Door. These guys at best rank one

1469
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred thirty eighth at the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus.

1470
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: That's the high water marks even that many corners. I

1471
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: know you don't think there would be that many cornerbacks.

1472
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: So MVS gets a C grade for me. Let's go

1473
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: to the running game, and I think this is going

1474
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: to be frustrating for a lot of people. So now

1475
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 1: fully healthy, does Aaron Jones return to his lead back role.

1476
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: We alluded to this earlier in the show. A J.

1477
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Dillon's usage was climbing to the point that they were

1478
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: at an even split last time they were both healthy.

1479
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: What's more, Dylan's look good over the last three games

1480
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: as the primary back. He's earned plenty of time share here.

1481
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: Only one runner his top eighty one rushing yards against

1482
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: Chicago all year, and over the past five weeks they've

1483
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: only given up seventy six rushing yards per game and

1484
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: twenty five receiving yards per game. So if there's only

1485
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a hundred total yards Aaron Brown to go around, and

1486
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: if Dylan and Jones are gonna split that in half,

1487
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: I can only give them C grades and Aaron, you know,

1488
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones was a first round pick, but I can

1489
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 1: only get from a C grade in this one because

1490
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: of the time share and Chicago is much harder to

1491
01:21:56,120 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: run upon than pass. Let's go to Monday night game,

1492
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Cardinals. Brian for the Rams passing game.

1493
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has been pretty inconsistent as a passer, but

1494
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: mostly he's ended up with pretty good Fantasy box scores.

1495
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: What do you think about him in this matchup against

1496
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,959
Speaker 1: and frankly pretty good Arizona secondary Yes, speaking of Fantasy

1497
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: box scores, Stafford had a fantasy box score against the

1498
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Week four. These teams met once already the

1499
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: season divisional rivals. Of course, this will be the second meeting.

1500
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 1: In that first meeting, Stafford had two yards and two

1501
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Kind Of feels like a somewhat safe floor

1502
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: for him here, especially considering Andy Dalton just through through

1503
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: for two scores in the rain against the Cardinals last week.

1504
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give Matt Stafford b uh, mostly because

1505
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 1: he has Cooper Cup. Uh. Not gonna give cup and

1506
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: A though he's working through a toe injury a very

1507
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: firm B here, Scott show a B. He's always has

1508
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: a potential. Of course, these teams first met. He did

1509
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: only have five catches for sixty four yards, probably his

1510
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: worst game of the season now, but I don't care.

1511
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: It's still a very strong play. The Cardinals have allowed

1512
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: the fourth most wide receiver touchdowns of that this season.

1513
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: But that said, the Cardinals are bottom eight and catches

1514
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: and bottom four in yards, and that's in terms of

1515
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,480
Speaker 1: the most bottom, so I'm not good. Most are the

1516
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: bottom eight in terms of the most, so like not

1517
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: a good thing for Cooper Cup. The top eight in

1518
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: top eight fewest yards. So they are What the Cardinals

1519
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: are is a pretty bust but don't break, Bend but

1520
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: don't break. They are a a a break but don't bend.

1521
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: They are a break but don't bend defense something like that.

1522
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 1: They're not a cake matchup, that's for sure. We'll put

1523
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: it that way, and that's why Van Jefferson and Odell

1524
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Both get a sea. Since O. B J's arrival,

1525
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: Jefferson has out targeted Beckham Beckham eighteen and has put

1526
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: up better numbers than O. B J, scoring in back

1527
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: to back games Van Jefferson, that is. Beckham did score

1528
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,600
Speaker 1: last week as well, though, and it's worth knowing that

1529
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Beckham did face the Rams of this year earlier as

1530
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: a member of the Cleveland Browns, had five catches for

1531
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards. But just to see for both of

1532
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 1: those guys, Tyler Higbee, he's on the bench, he's the

1533
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: fifth wheel in this offense. Just four catches for thirty

1534
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: six yards in the first meeting. So bench and Higgby

1535
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: go grab go scoop scoop yourself some hooper Hooper Scooper.

1536
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 1: And lastly, for the Rams, Darryl Henderson should make his return,

1537
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: and Sean McVeigh made it clear that Henderson will be

1538
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: the lead back if he is active, even though he

1539
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: was active last week. So let's just pause on this

1540
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 1: for a second. This is the Monday night game, it

1541
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: is we are probably there's a good chance we won't

1542
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: know Henderson's status at kickoff on Sunday. Now what do

1543
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 1: you do. He's trending towards playing. I mean, if you've

1544
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: got you gotta be in a premium. He was active, Yeah,

1545
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. I'm going under the prem minition. He

1546
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: will play. Hopefully you have Sony Michelle and Ross her

1547
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: as well alongside Henderson, but I'll give Henderson the B

1548
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: and Michelle will get to be uh if Henderson is inactive.

1549
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: But let's hope Henderson does play. Arizona allowing four point

1550
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. That is good for Henderson, but

1551
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have allowed just five total touchdowns to running

1552
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: backs all year, that second fewest. That is bad. I

1553
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: will note that Henderson did have a hundred plus combo

1554
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: yards when these teams first met in Week four, so

1555
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 1: that should be a safe floor for Henderson if he goes.

1556
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,799
Speaker 1: But he will, all right, that's it. For the Rams

1557
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: over to the Cardinal side James Conner Just to see here.

1558
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: With Chase Edmonds expected to make his return, that kind

1559
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: of puts Connor back in the goal line change of

1560
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: pace role, one would think, and goal line touchdowns aren't

1561
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: easy to come by against the Rams, who have only

1562
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: allowed three rushing scores to running backs since Week four.

1563
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: So just to see for James Connor, I am benching

1564
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds that we got to see what we have

1565
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: there and we know it's usually not much. Here's here's

1566
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: what you got is no touchdowns. You can say that

1567
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: for sure. That's almost a given for sure. So he

1568
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 1: is on the bench and Deando how begins close to

1569
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: being on the bench, but he is. He should be

1570
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: healthier than last week. He did score last week, But

1571
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 1: just to see. For DeAndre Hopkins. The Rams have struggled

1572
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: against wide receivers as of late, allowing the ninth most

1573
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: catches and yards per game to the position over the

1574
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: last five weeks. But Hopkins likely to draw shadow coverage

1575
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: from Jalen Ramsey, who allows just thirty two yards per

1576
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,440
Speaker 1: game in his coverage and has just allowed two touchdowns

1577
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,679
Speaker 1: all season long, and as a Cardinal Hopkins numbers aren't

1578
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: great against the Rams. He's averaging just five receptions for

1579
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: fifty one yards, but that's double digit PPR points, hopefully

1580
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 1: a floor for him. Here. Christian Kirk, the last wide

1581
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: receiver will mention for the Cardinals, gonna give him a C. Again,

1582
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 1: the Rams allowing the ninth most catches and the ninth

1583
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: most yards per game to the position over the last

1584
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: five weeks. He should not get shadow coverage from Ramsey,

1585
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 1: so to see for Christian Kirk, zach ERT's gonna give

1586
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: him a B. Arts wasn't on the Cardinals when these

1587
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: teams first met, but Max Williams did have a great game.

1588
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,879
Speaker 1: He had six catches for sixty six yards and a touchdown.

1589
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: He finished top six among tight ends this week. Uh,

1590
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: and what what's more? Opposing tight ends I've seen the

1591
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 1: seventh most targets against the Rams and uh, any tight

1592
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 1: end and I'm sorry, opposing tight ends haven't seen less

1593
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 1: than five targets in any game against the Rams, so

1594
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: they're heavily heavily utilized. So I like Arts here can

1595
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: give him a B. And lastly, Kyler Murray your son's

1596
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: favorite player, Scott, what's up? Ian Fish? My friend gonna

1597
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: give Kyler Murray an A. The Rams aren't an ideal matchup,

1598
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: but they are one of ten teams with an opponent

1599
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:33,560
Speaker 1: passing play percentage of six or higher. Recently, l A

1600
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: has surrendered three hundred plus yards and two passing touchdowns

1601
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 1: to the likes of Jimmy Garoppolo and Davis Mills. Uh.

1602
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: And in the first meeting, Kyler Murray through for two

1603
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: sixty eight and had two touchdowns. Also added thirty nine

1604
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. So uh, safe B floor, But I'm shooting

1605
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: for the A upside. He gets the A grade here.

1606
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: That sounds about right. Wow, that was a lot of

1607
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: guys to talk about. It should be a good, good

1608
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: game and that's the Monday night game. Well, we'll see

1609
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: how that one ends up working out. If you are
