Here's Paul Charchy 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.879 in good morning. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.159 I am Paul Charching my coast. Matt Harrison, Bryan Johnson, 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:54.840 Hello guys, good morning, Yeah, na oh man? Do you start? 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.760 Why did Coakes start that? Did How many cokes have 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.440 sold because of jinks By? Got by me a coke? 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.680 Why couldn't I don't know this as a marketing campaign, 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.440 by the way, they really should like they put the 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.280 names on the side of the Coke bottles. Just put Jakes, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.240 um I it's it's been, by the way, brilliant marketing plan. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.080 Then Snickers, Snickers ran with that deal. I mean it 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.880 was whoever thought of it? You know, go by an island. 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.639 Coke should just pay you enough to go buy your island. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.880 Go retire for the rest of your life. We have 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.240 a couple of We've got four teams on buy, so 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.160 we've got a little extra breathing room into the show, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.120 which I think is great. We'll get to all of 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.400 the matchups fantasy style, take a chance on me, the 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.640 five Tough Questions, premature speculation, and which should be a 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.600 little longer lightning round at the end of the show 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.440 as well, plenty to get to. We begin diving right 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:47.120 into our matchups with the Jaguars at the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.360 Matt for the Jaguars. Last time we saw them, it 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:55.160 was UM a less than ideal scenario with UM with 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:56.880 a loss to the Jets. What do you think this 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.360 week is they travel to Pittsburgh. Well, if you, sir 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.120 Blake Bortles, and you're not playing in London, you suck. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.560 That's just it. In his last eight games played in 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.840 the United States, he's averaging two five yards and is 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.960 only thrown for six touchdown passes. If he's not in London, 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.000 he's not worth playing. And he's on the bench this week. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.600 Marquis Lee is also hurt, and and that means Alan 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.240 Hearns is on the bench as well. Lee hasn't practiced 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.240 this week with a rib injury. He's more doubtful than 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.639 questionable to play, and the Steelers have allowed the second 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.200 fewest receptions and yards to wide receivers this season. That 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.239 leaves Hearns on the bench as well. I'm not chasing 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.280 the Marcedes Lewis three touchdown game from a couple of 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.560 weeks ago. So the only guy on the Jaguars that 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.640 you got to talk about is Leonard four nett. I 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.080 gave him a B grade this week. Over the last 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.440 two weeks, the Ravens and Bears running backs average six 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.080 point oh yards per carry against the Steelers. Four Nets 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.440 had at least six team carries in every game this 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.040 season and a scored in every game. He's an every 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.120 week starter now. But I think we'll talk more about 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.600 him later in the show. Uh another running back to 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.920 talk about, Levan Bell. We really don't need to talk 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.600 about him. He's an easy in this game. Ben Roethlisberger. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.359 I'm giving him a B grade. And I know Jacksonville's 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.919 defenses look legit, especially against the past, but let's remember 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.600 it is legit against the past. They've faced Tom Savage, 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.400 Josh McCown, Ryan Mallett and Joe Flacco in ten of 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.880 the sixteen quarters they've played so far. Okay, not exactly 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.200 a murderers row of quarterbacks there, But if you rewind 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.880 the clock all the way to week five of last year, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.040 so one calendar year from this week, week five, the 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:40.400 Jaguars on average allowing zero point eight touchdown passes per game. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.120 And you know that's if a full sixteen sixteen quarterbacks 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.200 in there. Okay, alright, so I mean I don't think 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:52.280 it's all fluke. Okay, would you like to wait? But um, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.720 I still got Roethlisberger as a B. He's got great 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.560 home road splits in there at home this week, Antonio Brown. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.000 I'm actually giving an a to Brown's chirping a little 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.160 a bit, and he's frustrated on the sidelines, and I 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.880 don't care that the Jaguars are currently the top defense 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.240 against wide receivers. DeAndre Hopkins was the only really good 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.920 wide receiver they faced this year. Even with Tom Savage 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.520 soft tossing him the ball for the first two quarters, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.799 he still managed fifty five yards in a touchdown. Antonio 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.880 Brown's a head and shoulders get above and squeaky wheel 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.080 gets the grease if you're good enough player. Yeah Squeaky 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.679 Wheels get the grease and and Antonio Brown frustrated, mouth 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.600 and off. He needs more action than he got last 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.560 week and he's gonna get it. So at the same time, 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.120 Juju Smith Schuster and Martevis Bryant I got them on 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.040 the bench. A. J. Bouyer and Jalen Ramsey are very 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.040 very good. They're two shut down corners and if you're 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.839 not Antonio Brown, you're just not going to beat them. Um. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.000 Kind of a bonus take a chance on me player 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.960 is Jesse James, who I'm giving a C grade to. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.479 The Jags have allowed the ninth most yards and the 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.000 tenth most receptions to tight ends this season. That's kind 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.760 of their weakness in the passing game. Uh, he's gonna 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.520 need to be a touchdown scorer to be relevant, so 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.600 you have to be pretty desperate to play him. But 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.680 he's kind of a take a chance on me C 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.120 grade tight end. Green Bay takes on Dallas Brian and 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.360 Time Montgomery doubtful. Uh of doubtful players do not play 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:13.800 in the game, so we'll assume he's not going to 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.480 go in this one. What do you think of the 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.719 Green Bay backup running backs here, well, it's Aaron Jones 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.240 and Jamal Williams. Jamal Williams who was the guy who 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.400 came in first when Montgomery went down last week and 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.120 was ahead of him on the head of Jones on 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.880 the depth chart all preseason. When Montgomery was hurt got 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.920 injured on like his first carry, right, But he's been 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.680 practicing all week and full, so he will play. But 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.920 Aaron Jones looks like the starter for now, so he's 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.840 the guy to own. Uh. Dallas is rank against the 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.520 run according to Football Outsiders d v O a UH. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.960 Brian Beluga and I dated back to your are both 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.680 questionable for Green Bay. That don't you say? Brian Beluga? 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:52.840 I like that, what is it whatever? But Beluga is 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.839 way better. I'm sure. I'm sure he never heard never 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.160 has a big guy growing up and everything. I'm sure 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.800 he never heard nobody ever saying Offe's baby at him. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.880 I'm I don't know, but I think you gotta have 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.680 a four year old to know that. I'm guessing. And 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:13.000 probably Blaga and are both questionable. That'll hurt the running 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.800 game if they don't play. I think they're they're both 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.839 slated to play, which would be the first time they've 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.359 played together since like Week one or something. All right, well, 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.920 that will certainly help Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. Jones 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.600 is the better play this week, but don't give up 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.880 on Jamal Williams just yet. He was a hit on 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.440 the depth chart all along, so he definitely could. He'll 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.479 be probably the likely goal line back in this game, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.600 with Jones getting more work between the twenties, but both 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.360 get to see start against the Cowboys. Over the passing game, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.760 Aaron Rodgers is an easy a. By the way, this 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.600 is a rematch of the divisional playoff game last year. Well, 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.680 these teams have played each other three times in the 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.000 last two years, so we got a lot of track 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:55.640 record between Packers and Cowboys. Ye, going for it. Tony 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:06.360 Baby has an injured knee. I think yeah, that was 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.120 a good one. That was good. Poet, don't even know it? 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.560 All right? Where was I I am very very long? 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.160 I think you were. Yeah. Let's focus on the most 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.720 recent matchup. Rogers had three five yards and two touchdowns 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.239 against Dallas and the playoffs. The Cowboys have allowed multiple 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.480 passing touchdowns and three straight three straight games. Their whole 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.560 defense is questionable. Right now, you're starting Aaron Rodgers. Duh, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.560 you're also starting Jordy Nelson. He gets an A. He 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.239 missed the playoff game last year. But Dallas has allowed 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.880 five wide receiver touchdowns already, so you probably should start 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.080 the wide receiver leader in touchdowns in this game. Nelson. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.320 Randall Cobb and give him a B borderline A start. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.280 Slot receivers have fared well against Dallas. Cooper Cup had 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.480 five catches for sixty yards and a touchdown, Larry Fitzgerald 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.480 went nuclear with thirteen for one, nine in a touchdown, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.280 and Sterling Shepard caught seven passes against Dallas. So Cobbs 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.400 and easy A or I'm sorry B almost an A. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.400 Davante Adams not so easy here hasn't been ruled out yet, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.440 hasn't been ruled in yet. Yeah, we should know today, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.520 should not today. It has to happen before he gets 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.800 on the plane. And that which is if if it's 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.000 a typical team flight that the teams usually fly around 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.840 lunchtime on Saturday. So yeah, we're gonna I think we'll 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.720 know about Adams if he plays. Where are you great amount? 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.920 He's he's a B if he plays kind of plane 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.640 if he plays, if he sits Toronomo, Allison borderline B 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.400 as well, probably a C plus. Allison hasn't gotten a 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.640 lot of run in his career, but he has ten 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.240 plus PPR points in the four of the five games 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.320 he's seen at least four targets, So he gets four targets. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.680 He's a PPR helper. So if you're an Adams owner, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.560 a certainly trying squat on Allison. If you can. Martella 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.800 is Bennett, I'm going to give him a C. Revenge game. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.800 It is a revenge game. It is uh. Jared Cook 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.560 and Richard Rogers combined for seven catches, a hundred thirty 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.680 seven yards and two touchdowns in that playoff game. Dallas 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.960 really hasn't been tested by tight ends at all this year, 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.719 but Bennett has underwhelmed. But he's sixth among tight ends 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.960 and catches, so he's startable in this one. And Lemit 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.440 I'll mention this about Bennett. Aaron Rodgers this week came 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.080 out and said they got to get it more involved early. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.200 He's the most targeted packer. He's been too involved. He's 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.319 been terrible. And I was the guy who went to 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.839 war for Bennett throughout the preseason. I'd like I think 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.600 he can be a top five tight end. I think 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.760 he finishes my number four tight end. In the preseason, 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.280 he's been a wreck. They've thrown plenty of passes to him. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.840 You've got to catch a ball. If you follow Martellis 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.360 Bennett on Twitter, you'll know he's a guy who would 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.959 totally be into the revenge angle too. Yeah, well, that's 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.280 probably totally his style. I don't know. I'm worried about 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.640 that bomb. He loves to hear about how you how 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.000 he affects your fantasy football team exact. I'm sure he 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.600 would love that everybody tweet him. Baltimore takes on the 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.680 I gotta go to the Cowboys still. Oh sorry, jeez, 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.040 Love of God, So Chop chop man, you're the one 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.400 who's in again. We started singing, baby Blua. That coldn't 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.000 help me at all. Ezekiel Elliott is an a. We 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.080 don't need to go further into that one does. Briant 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.480 also in a des leads all wide receivers and targets 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.319 from inside the ten yard line. He had nine for 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.320 you and two in the playoffs last year. Julio Jones 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.199 and aj Green are both top the hundred yards against 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.320 green Bay, so Deads could do the same benching the 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.520 other wide receivers. I'm gonna bench Jason Witten. He could 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.839 be a desperation see play. He's cooled off significantly. Um 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.240 green Bay has just allowed twelve catches in a hundred 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.600 and six yards at tight ends all season, so he's 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.559 I'm put them on the bench. And Dak Prescott gets 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.160 to be multiple touchdowns and three straight games had three 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.520 hundred plus yards and three touchdowns in the playoff game, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.880 It's kind of crazy. Green Bay hasn't seen more than 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.360 thirty pass attempts from an imposing quarterback this year. Well 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.120 in one of four games. I'm sorry, one of four games, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.080 but Dac might not breach that watermark. This feels one 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:36.640 of the gaze game. But I'm still giving him a B. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.120 I love z I love Zeke, my number two running 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.920 back this week. You've loved Zeke from the loved him 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.960 from the beginning. Now Baltimore taking on the Oakland Raiders. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.960 There's only one Ravens player with a starting grade, and 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.920 that's Alex Collins averaging eight yards per carry. Probably gets 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.560 a chance here to be the true workhorse back. But 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.360 in Baltimore, the workhorse back it's maybe a dozen carries 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.120 and not the hand in the ball more care. One 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.960 of the problems he fumbles too much so and that 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.880 he's least like one fumble away from hitting the hitting 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.920 the bench. Oakland is a mediocre run defense, are giving 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.840 up four point two yards per carry. No opposing runners 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.560 rushed for a touchdown against Oakland, but Collins has done 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.560 enough to earn the opportunity to get a bunch of carries. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.559 He won't stay at eight yards per carry, but he's 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.520 worthy of a start. Here. Let's talk about the other 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.200 running backs. Terence West goes on the bench four carries 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.679 last week, which he turned into negative seven yards. So 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.680 Terence West, I think the only question is you know 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.080 you're not gonna play him. The only question is are 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.960 you gonna drop him out right? Which I would understand 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.040 if you did. Buck Allen is your past catching specialist, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.520 and Chris Thompson did kill the Raiders one fifty receiving yards. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.840 But every other team is averaging just thirty two receiving yards, 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.880 and that's almost exactly what Buck Allen is giving you 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.439 on averages thirty two receiving yards, and that's not good enough. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.680 There's also no possible way that Church will give Buck 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.080 Allen a starting grade for the rest of his career. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.600 Maybe not. Uh, we have a bad we have a 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.840 bad history. Uh. Joe Flacco on the bench. In the 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.680 twenty games since the start of last year, he's managed 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:08.520 more than one touchdown pass six times. That's it. He's 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.000 averaging one hundred fifty passing yards per game this year. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.880 That's it. Oakland's the middle of the pack, right in 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.440 the middle of the pack for past defense. But Flacco 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.720 is only startable against the dregs of the league, and 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.440 that is not Oakland right now. Jeremy Macklin isn't getting 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.720 enough targets. Mike Wallace also not getting enough targets. Finally 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.840 put up a good game last week, but his previous 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.880 three games were awful, single digit yardage games. So they're 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.880 all out. Let's go to the Oakland side. Quarterback is 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.079 probably not going to be David carl though they haven't 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.560 ruled him out of this game, but the original diagnosis 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.559 on his fractured back was a month so I even 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.959 though we practiced all week, I can't imagine him playing 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.480 in this game. Will assume it's EJ Manuel for the 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.280 purpose of our rankings here. His last one is a 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:56.560 starter for EJ Manual three years ago. He hasn't thrown 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.760 a touchdown in two years. Um, this isn't a great 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.560 rape in secondary. But they just handled Trevor Simeon on 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.600 the road last week, so there's that, and and maybe 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.600 there's some opportunity here, But for EJ Manuel it's it's 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.640 desperate desperation plays Only Michael Crabtree returns and Marie Cooper 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.920 is back as well. Crabtree missed a game of the 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.920 chest injury coverages for Baltimore is competent, not spectacular. They've 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.040 got Brandon Carr and Jimmy Smith. Those guys will take 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.920 Crabtree and Cooper respectively. Baltimore has allowed the fifth fewest 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.800 yards to wide receivers. They just held in Antonio Brown 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.520 to thirty or four yards and one tantrum. I've got 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.040 C grades on Michael Crabtree and Marie Cooper. It would 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.120 be B grades if if David Carr Derek Carr actually 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.560 played in this one, but I don't think you will. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.560 Jared Cook startable four dump offs from e J Manuel 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.200 He's gotten six, six and eight targets the past three games. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.120 If you're in a pinch at tight end, maybe you 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.800 deactivated Gronk and now you're trying to find somebody to 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.760 go with. Jared Cook would be your starter here. Baltimore 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.719 only one game removed from letting Marcedes Lewis get the 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.280 three touchdowns against them, so maybe there's an opportunity for 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.360 Jared Cook here. And lastly, Marshall Lynch. After facing the 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.920 last two weeks the number one team against the run 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.319 and the number four team against the run, he now 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.200 gets number twenty seven and number thirty two the next 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.200 two weeks. This is number twenty seven and Baltimo has 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.000 been especially filmthropic at the goal line, giving up three 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.720 rushing touchdowns in the last two weeks, and rushing touchdowns 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.800 should go to Marshawn Lynch. E j Manuel obviously doesn't 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.200 help matters any but Lynch is still run hard. They 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.200 just haven't given him the ball enough and the Raiders 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.480 have inexplicably been way behind in a couple of games, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.240 and that's been frustrating as well. I feel like they 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.240 were trying to save him for the playoffs. Yeah, already 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.840 the playoffs are now now now they need to start working. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.920 I think there's some truth to that. Um, this should 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.960 be a tighter game. You know, Ravens don't blow anybody out, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.000 so I think there's I think for those that are 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.360 giving up on Marshawn Lynch, don't do it yet. I've 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.120 got a B grade on him for this game. Do 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.000 you think David Carr should have gotten the start over 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.000 to Jay Manuel. I would rather have David Carr. I 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.880 think it's his work on the NFL network has been 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.240 very good. Uh, he is a he's let's just say 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.200 it's got a face for TV for David Carr. M 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.080 when we come back, take a chance on me. Nine 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.000 players not normally in your starting lineup will tell you 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.520 who they are when we come back. Change your mine 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.960 the first th line, honey, steal free, take a chance 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.880 on me if you need me, let me know, let 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:37.480 me all round. If you got no Welcome back to 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:42.800 Fantasy Football Weekly and especially disturbing version of take a 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.120 chance on me in the background. Those are some screeching vocals. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.200 Those really are. It's the antithesis of the original. I 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.280 believe take a chance to me. Nine players not normally 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.160 in your starting lineup will begin at the quarterback position. Matt, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.040 I've got Jacoby Brissette. In the last two weeks, Jared 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.720 goff torch the Niners for two yards and three touchdowns, 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.640 Carson Palmer through for three fifty seven yards and a touchdown. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.560 The Niners defense has faced a league high twenty one 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.880 rushing attempts by quarterbacks this season, and Brissette is averaging 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.640 just under five yards per carry. And the last time 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.560 Brissette was at home facing a winless team, that was 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.040 two weeks ago against the Browns, where he had two 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.040 hundred fifty nine yards and a touchdown through the air 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.440 and added two rushing scores. And I believe that was 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.640 year take a chance on me that week. I think 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.000 I think it was Brian. It was last week. I 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.640 only called four touchdowns for Deshaun Watson. Yeah, you got 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.640 it wrong. I'm sorry, you should have said five. I apologize. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.000 So I'm on a bit of a hot streaker quarterback here. Uh, 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.480 it could come to an end the Josh McCown at 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.600 the Browns. Now, technically McCown can seek revenge on about 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.320 that's right. That's seven seven teams for the record. But 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.160 he spent a lot of time in Cleveland. He did, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.600 so this is the ripest untapped revenge on Josh mccount's docket. 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.520 All right, and Cleveland just sucks. They've allowed nine passing 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.280 touchdowns in four games, eleven total touchdowns to quarterbacks. McCown 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.960 has a rushing touchdown already this year, so he is 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.240 all but guaranteed to get you two fifty total yards 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.280 and at least two touchdowns on Sunday. All right, where's 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.520 your where's your five touchdown predictions? Now not from McGown. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.680 You stop Bryan Hoyer's upside against a bad defense. Two 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.959 weeks ago, he exploded against the Rams. Here comes an 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.199 even worse past defense Indianapolis, a team that's allowed the 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.480 third most passing yards. The Colts allow passing averages of 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.159 almost three hundred yards one and a half touchdowns. This 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.000 has the makings of a get right game for Brian Hoyer, 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.840 or at least to perform better game for Brian Hoyer. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:39.960 He is might take a chance in the quarterback. Let's 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.720 go to the running back position. Matt I got J 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.640 D mckissic am I pronouncing that I said, I'm glad 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.320 I am c J. Procis is trending towards out this week, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.240 and the team already lost Chris Carson for the season. Yeah. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.480 This leaves Thomas Rawls, who's done almost nothing in two years, 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.480 who is also injured, and Eddie Lacey, who is well 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.600 Eddie Lacey, that's the only other running back. Both Rawles 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.760 and Lacey have been healthy scratches this year at various times. Yeah, 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.840 so I entered mckissic, who ran for a touchdown and 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.520 caught a touchdown past last week on only five touches. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.320 He easily slides into the third down back role. And 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.359 if Lacey and Rawls looked like Lacey and Rawls, he 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.600 could end up with even more touches. And the Rams 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.240 have given up seven touchdowns the running backs this season. 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:24.600 That's two more than any team in the league. So 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.440 I like mckissic this week. All right, I've got Geovanni 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.160 Bernard at home versus the Bills. Um, have you heard 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:31.920 he doesn't want to be called Geo by the way, 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:36.840 too bad? Anyways, geove Vanni has caught touchdowns and back 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.080 to back weeks, Buffalo allowed eight catches two Jets backs 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.160 and seven to the Ravens backfield. Both backfield saw double 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.200 digit targets and change of pace. Backs have fared well 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.280 against the Bills over the last two weeks. Stevin Coleman 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.920 had nine for seventy nine rushing and caught four passes 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.880 for sixty five yards. Before that, Jamal Charles had nine 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.160 carries for fifty six yards and a touchdown. I think 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.240 Bernard does well this week. I've got Wayne Gallman going 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.920 up against the Chargers and essentially one half of work. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.880 Last week, Gallman set a giant season high in attempts 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.160 and yards and that's all it took was a half. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.600 He also scored a touchdown and lead all backs and 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.800 snaps last week, again only playing a half. Paul Perkins 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.120 already ruled out of this one, dark was hurt. This 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.040 week's opponents, the Chargers, the team allowing the most rushing 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.159 yards per game and the fifth most rushing yards per carry. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.880 Four point eight. Wayne Gallman wide receiver. We got I'm 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.119 going to the John two Vey special right here and 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:33.879 going to Marvin Jones. Remember from a four touchdown you 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.040 got the four touchdown game from Marvin Jones. That was awesome. 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.720 H Kenny Golladay looks like he's gonna miss this game 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.600 with a hamstring injury, and so Marvin Jones gets to 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.159 be the main outside receiver. And outside receivers have had 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.320 a lot of success against the Panthers. H Michael Thomas, 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.800 Pierre Garson, Chris Hogan, and Ted Ginn each either top 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.720 to eight yards or scored against the Panthers. And free 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.239 safety Kurt Coleman is out with a knee injury, so 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.560 the over the top play goes to Jones, and I 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.160 think that the Hill score. It's a nice sneaky angle, 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.879 all right. Bryan's got Kenny Stills at home versus the Titans. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.960 Tennessee has allowed seven top twenty wide receiver performances in 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.520 PPR so far this year, which is three more than 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.960 any other team, and according to Football Outsiders, the Titans 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.080 ranked thirty first against number two wide receivers, allowing more 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.359 than seventy yards per game. Stills is basically a Boom 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.800
