Welcome to a week five edition 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.800 of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Giarchi and my 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.920 co host today Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:36.159 What's what's going on. It's for wins, That's what's going on. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.800 We're here, We're delivering. We're handing out wins like you're 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.680 gonna be handing out nice size candy bars on Halloween. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.440 I have a guarantee for the listeners. I guarantee we 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.159 will be more entertaining than Russell Wilson playing football that 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.840 goes without saying Holy cow. Maybe we'll get into a 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.520 little a little discussion about the travesty that is the 0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:01.240 Denver Broncos right now, booed by the our own fans 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.480 vocimperously throughout the game. And I don't think I've ever 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.840 seen fans leave and mass heading into overtime for the 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.760 you know, it's the coin flip for overtime of the 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.600 fans roll leaving oh Man. Good for the fans of 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.119 them in Denver. Plenty to get to over the course 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.760 of the show. Will have take a chance on me. 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.760 We'll do our three tough questions while premature speculation, and 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.640 we will break down all fifteen remaining games from the 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.520 NFL slate, beginning with another of the the tricky early 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.640 start games. Be sure to set your lineups. Giants taking 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.840 on Packers. Yes, I'm excited for it, and I'm very 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:48.040 happy Collin's not here. My understanding on Colin is um arrested. Arrested. Yeah, now, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:53.080 you saw um in in London during the Viking game. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.120 You may have seen that nude streaker. Uh that that 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:02.160 had to eventually security had to get Colin mccockney. Interesting. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.480 At least he wasn't the uh, at least he wasn't 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.680 the one in the Rams games knocked out by Bob Wagner. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.680 The Giants pass game is on the bench. How's that stuff? 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.600 Very good? Start the whole pass game, Richie Richie, James, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.600 David Sills, Daniel Bellinger who I do like, but like 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.799 three catches for thirty forty yards isn't doing you much? Um, 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.760 it's a Packers d that's top twelve against quarterbacks, wide receivers, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.040 and tight ends. Daniel Jones, he got you the two 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.440 Russian touchdowns last week, probably on your bench or on 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.639 your waiver wire. He probably didn't get it correct that 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.760 for you. But he hasn't top two hundred yards all season. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.799 It's Darius Tony has two hamstring injuries. They're all on 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.200 the bench. Barkley, though, it's it's an automatic, am, it 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.600 just is. He's the best. He's the best fantasy running 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.040 back in football right now, and the QB position is rough. Um. 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.000 Barkley actually ended up playing extra snaps the most snaps 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.320 and touches he's ever played in a single game in 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.959 his career last week. Uh, and he was playing. He 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:07.880 was playing snaps at quarterback with Daniel Jones Taylor out. Yes, yeah, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.840 he took a lot of Wildcats snaps near the end 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.200 of that game. Anyway, Let's move over to the Packers side, 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.760 because there's players that actually matter on this side. Um, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.280 not that Parkley doesn't matter, but he's the Aaron Rodgers 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.720 I have a B grade on since his second annual 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:26.160 Week one dismantling. Yes, Rogers has throwne for two d 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.320 thirty two five yards in every game and two scores 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.680 in every game, So that's a pretty safe B floor 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.120 is is what he's been doing. The Giants pasty is 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.520 top ten, but they have not really faced any startable quarterbacks. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.040 I guess the closest they faced was tannehill id And 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.760 who went for two hundred and sixty six and a 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.640 couple of scores. So I'd expect Rogers to lean towards 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.520 his averages, if not a little better. Gotta be grade 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:54.400 there on him. Um Romeo Dubbs and Alana's Ard. I 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.440 have B grades on both of them. I just do. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.960 I like, I don't think you can talk me into 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.520 an A grade, and it's possib but one of them 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.720 hits the A and one of them hits the B. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.720 But I'm giving him both bees with some upside there. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.320 The Giants haven't truly been tested, as I mentioned with 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.560 the quarterbacks, but even Darnell Mooney, who hadn't done anything 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.760 all year, found ninety four yards against them, and Steedee 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.000 Lamb the week before at eighty seven and scores. The 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.000 lead receiver Dubson Lazard have both been playing of the snaps. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.480 They both very clearly have Rogers trust, both in Rogers 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.720 speak and in his play um. He has targeted those 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.160 two about fifty of his passes, so if he throws thirty, 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.360 we're talking fifteen targets and that's probably low end thirty 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:39.160 pass attempts for Aaron Rodgers. Um over to Robert Tonyan. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.280 I do have him on the bench, not even playing 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.960 half the snaps. You almost need the touchdown, which is 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.480 tough to count on with Rogers. Now that once they 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.560 get inside the red zone and especially inside the five 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.279 and ten, it's a pretty even split between run and pass, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.120 whereas last year with it was all passed. So now 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.080 they're going half and half and Tonnan is not seen 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.920 that kind of touched on volume. Giants haven't allowed a 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.400 tight end touchdown this year, and tight ends are averaging 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.960 under forty yards per game. Yes, sit Tony over to 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.920 the running backs. Aaron Jones, I got an A grade 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.280 on A J. Dylan, I have a B grade on 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.360 The Giants are getting tagged weekly by running backs McCaffrey, Herbert, 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.880 the Dallas and Titans duos, so we're just say the 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.880 Titans duo. It's not really a duo. But you know, 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.960 Dontrell Hilliard had two touchdowns against them and did a 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.440 bunch through the air in week one. But to the 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.360 tune of fifty yards per game. Dylan has both carries 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.960 inside the five. Jones gets the targets, which I honestly 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.480 didn't see coming. But they're splitting the snaps pretty evenly. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.960 But given one gets touchdown carries and one gets targets, 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.000 I got them both. I got them both with A 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.880 and B grades. Here Aaron Jones six point eight yards 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.280 per carry to Dylan's three point seven. That's something to 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.160 keep an eye on. Yeah, that's why Jones is getting Yeah, 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.640 he's getting a grade there. Dylan the B though, don't 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.640 don't stick. It still gets to be in this matchup. 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.240 The Lions, Brian, have got all kinds of injuries. We uh, 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.760 we know for sure that dj Hark is out, DeAndre 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.919 Swift is out, uh, Josh Reynolds probably playing, but questionable. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.680 I'm on Ross st. Brown game time decision. Help me 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.440 make heads or tails out of Lions when they take 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.479 on the Patriots. All right over to the Patriots side, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:25.800 and I'm just alright, start with long gone or the 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.000 days or is just like you're benching the Lions. Even 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.600 when they're healthy, it's quite the opposite scoring team in 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.680 the NFL. Well, we'll start with thanks to their awful defense, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.720 it's not the perfect store and for fantasy. But once 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.560 they get healthy, once what James and Williams gets back, 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.400 Oh my lord, this offense can think about that. Well, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.520 we know Jamal Williams is gonna play, and I gonna 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.280 give him a B. Should be in line for another 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.400 Bill Cout workload. Even when Swift was healthy, Williams was 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.120 the guy at the goal line for Detroit. He now 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.360 leads all running backs in the NFL and carries inside 0:06:54.400 --> 0:07:00.240 the five yard line. He's done it nine times. She 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.279 is but be more and the Pats are set stout 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.000 against the run. Green Bay ran all over them last week, 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.120 but that game went to the bitter end of overtime, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.280 so they played five quarters before that, and no other 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.880 opposing back as top sixty yards rushing against the Patriots 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.720 in New England has yet to surrender a running back 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.280 touchdown through the ground or air. So just the B 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.960 for Williams. But he should see a lot of volume 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.400 in this one. As you said, d J. Chark is 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:28.119 out We're gonna go with Josh Reynolds likely to play. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.120 I'm on Ross Brown true game time decision. If if 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.600 if some God plays, I'm gonna give him a b 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.320 um and a C either way for Josh Reynolds. It's 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.400 kind of like Ronalds more than you do. But go ahead. Uh, 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.280 it's it's it's a neutral. I'll give Reynolds to be 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.840 if if st. Brown's out. Actually, but if st. Brown's in, 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.600 C for Reynolds, B for Brown, it's basically a neutral 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.240 matchup for wide receivers. The Patriots are allowing eleven catches 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:52.960 and almost a hundred and fifty yards per game to 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.640 wide receivers. Those aren't great numbers as a whole to 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.840 opposing wide receiver units, but they have surrendered exactly one 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.320 wide receiver touchdown in three or four games. If Alman 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.240 Ross Brown is out, I think Tom Kennedy is kind 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.440 of interesting as also out. Yeah, and you may have 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.720 to go to Tom Kennedy. And then there's Cliff for Raymond. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.520 But Kennedy had the better game last week, So I'll 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.520 go with Tom Kennedy. So easy to see Dart if 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.000 uh some God is out, Um, we know teaching Cockinson 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.960 there it is is not out, and he's not on 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.080 the bench this week. Hopefully it wasn't on your bench 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.040 last week, probably the biggest game in all fantasy football. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.680 Gonna give him an a here because the Patriots up 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.120 rendered five tight end touchdowns, the most in the league. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.199 And lastly, Jared Goff can give him a ce. This 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.000 week's matchup with the Pats likely as tough as to date. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.120 We prefer if Alman ross A Brown plays. If he doesn't, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.680 he still gotta roll Goff out there, just because New 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.559 England gives up a ton of points and it's forced 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.679 to throw all the time. So New England not the 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.120 greatest matchup, but the c for Goff. And now over 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.880 to the Patriots side, starting with their running backs. Damien Harris, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.160 Gonna give him an a uh just across the boar. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.640 Detroit's defense sucks, so there's gonna be some startable Patriots 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.240 this week. On Like past weeks, the lines have allowed 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.040 the fourth most rushing yards and the most rushing touchdowns 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.640 to running backs. Harris has scored in three or four 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.240 games this year and has eighteen touchdowns over his last 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.400 nineteen games dating back to last year's with the A 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.840 for Harris and uh B for Mondre Stevenson. The matchup 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.160 obviously just as good for Stevenson, who saw fourteen carries 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.400 last week to the eight team from Harris, but Stevens 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.360 Stevenson saw five targets to the one for Harris. Opponent 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.640 opposing running backs have caught at least four passes against 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.439 the Lions and three of four games. Now did the 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.839 Patriots wide receivers will start with who I guess is 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.480 their alpha. Number one wide receiver, Davante Parker scored a 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.040 touchdown last week at Green Bay. The week before that, 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.160 he had five catches for a hundred and fifty six 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.880 yards against the Ravens. The lines are allowing fourteen catches 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.520 for a hundred and ninety five yards and one touchdown 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.640 per game to a post in wide out, Parker is startable, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.199 even with the quarterback situation, which we'll get to in 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.839 a minute. Now, there's there's some more murkiness for the 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.280 wide receivers with New England. Jacoby Myers has missed the 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.240 last couple of games. If he plays, I would give 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.560 him a sea, But if he's out, I think Nelson 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.120 Aglare is the C Dart for the Patriots just against 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.920 this awful Lion secondary. So that's time you break that 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.559 situation down. And uh not at Sea Dart, but just 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.240 to see for hunter Henry John who smith your boys? 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.959 Detroit is top seven in the most catches and yards 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.400 allowed to tight end. So Henry is startable this week. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.120 And you know what, if you're desperate, Bailey, Zappy looks 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.559 to be the starter. I mean it's against the Lions 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.120 right now. You look, We've seen We've seen quarterbacks like 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.160 him play well all year. He played pretty well in 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.760 Green Bay coming off attention, he looked like I'm looking 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.559 at him, just waiting for him to fall apart. He didn't. 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.080 If you're in any kind of super flex format, whether 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.360 it's redraft or especially Dynasty, I would draft is Appy 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.719 right now because he does have long term upside. I 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.800 don't know if he will see it, but I will 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.240 say it would have been nice to see him put 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.800 any kind of drive together near the end or in overtime, 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.520 and he just couldn't. Did you guys see the photo 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.520 of him with Mac Jones? Oh yeah, I've seen the 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.520 two head shots that you would never know that they're 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.360 not the same person. I've seen the two head shot 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.040 Bears take on the Vikings. This won't take very long. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.559 If if it turns out David Montgomery does not go, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:36.240 then Khalil is an A grade. Bears run on a 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.040 league leading sixty two of offensive plays, and again, if 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.360 Monty is out, that means ground Bears getting a lot 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.400 of work and he's played well. He grades is the 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.960 second most efficient runner according to Next Gen Stats. He's 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.800 averaging six yards per carry. Minnesota's a lot of rushing 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.600 touchdowns in every game and ranks twenty seven and rushing 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.959 d v O A. There's a great opportunity for Khalil 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.880 Herbert if Montgomery doesn't go. If Montgomery does go, I 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.240 got a knock him all the way down to a 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.840 C and a timeshare role. And I've got to see 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.560 on Montgomery if he does go again in Minnesota's defense 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.400 is exploitable on the ground. If Montgomery's active. I'm assuming 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.240 Montgomery's active, He'll get sometime, but he's Herbert's should get 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.720 at least half of the carries. Even if Montgomery is active. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.839 They both get C grades in that event. And the 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.160 only other Bear that you care about, Darnell Mooney coming 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.720 up the best game of his year by a mile. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.360 He did nothing in the first three weeks. He is 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.840 running mostly from the slot, and he matches up against 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:39.480 Vikings cornerback Chandon Sullivan, who's allowed eighty eight percent of 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.800 his passes to be completed. Sullivan's also giving up twelve 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.319 yards per reception. That's a big number. The problem for 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.199 Mooney's always targets. He's seeing four targets per game, but 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.439 that could change considering his easy matchup with Sullivan's So 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.679 a C grade on Darnell Mooney. We go over to 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.080 the Vikings Justin Jefferson automatic A grade. Dalvin Cook also 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.960 with an A grade. Here. Chicago hemorrhaging production to opposing 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.800 running backs, giving up at least from one total yards 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.040 to a running back in three straight games, and they're 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.120 seeing a league high thirty six rushes per game against them. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.920 Dalvin Cook will not get all thirty six, but he 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.040 should get more than twenty, and that puts him into 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.240 a high level of productivity. Here, the Vikings have run 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.600 thirty seven plays from the red zone. Dalnn Cook only 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.440 has five touches. We've touched on this basically every week, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.360 going all the way back to the preseason, we told 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.440 you expected this. Vikings a run nine plays from inside 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.320 the five yard line. Dalvin Cook has one touch. That's 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.240 your danger. Cook may need to score from distance. Going 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.200 to the passing game, I like Adam Feeling and kJ 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.160 Osbourne with C grades. Uh and well, actually I'm a 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.959 bump up Adam Theland do a B grades. I don't 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.200 think cornerback Jalen Johnson's gonna go. He's got a quad injury. Um. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.560 The Bears have very good safeties, but their cornerbacks are 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:56.640 dreadful kindall wild or Kyler Gordon awful? They've and Kyler 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.160 Gordon who man's the slot? kJ Osborne owners they He's 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.440 allowed the most passing yards in the NFL three hundred 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.920 thirty five from the slot. Kyler Gordon does not belong 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.559 on an NFL field. K j Osborne a nice sneaky 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.160 play in this one. And then that brings us to 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.640 Kirk Cousins. I've got a B and C grades on 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.040 his receiver, so I've got a B grade on Cousins here. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.680 The only question really is teams don't pass on the Bears. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.000 They run all day on the Bear too, so volume 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.640 could work against him. Chicago sees the lowest pass play 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.160 percentage in the league, and they've only given up three 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.640 passing touchdowns because nobody has to pass. So that's your 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:42.240 danger on starting. No, there's we've recovered this last week. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.200 Can I make an open plea to Adam Feeling? Yeah? Please? 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.600 He's having a charity function at the Top Golf. You're 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.600 in Minnesota on Monday, and I haven't been in weeks, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.240 and I was planning to go, but he's closed the 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.560 whole venue down for a very worthy cause. I'm sure, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.720 but Adam Feeling put me on the list. Please. Brian 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.760 Johnson and Brian at Brian Johnson, can't you it's a 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.880 at event. You can't just go and just pay your 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.200 way in. Okay, Well there's that. Uh. Speaking of speaking 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.640 of paying for Brian salary, you should consider joining a 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:14.280 Guillotine league. New leagues forming all the time, fourteen man leagues, 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.200 the team leagues this week and then next week we 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.480 go down to thirteen. You know how the works. At 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.760 Guillotine leagues dot com. We encourage you to give that 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.760 a try. When we come back, take a chance on 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.120 me nine players not normally in your starting lineup. We'll 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:56.920 tell you who they are after this, It's take a 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.720 chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.800 many or available on the waiver wire. We begin at 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.080 the quarterback position and Scott Fish. I'm going a little 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.240 deeper this week. I'm gonna go with Cooper Rush facing 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.840 a Rams defense that you probably wouldn't think is a 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.960 great matchup. But they have allowed three hundred plus and 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.680 or multiple touchdowns three times this season. The other time 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.520 they did allow a touchdown a couple hundred yards. Cooper 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.200 Rush also gets Michael gallup. He's got Michael Gallut back. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.960 Now he gets Sheltz back. Tony Pollard may mess so 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.200 they may not run as much. Never know. Yeah, it's 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.360 Cooper Russia and it's been widely reported. It's not breaking news. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.000 First ever Cowboys quarterback to start a career four oh 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:42.080 Cooper Rush. I said this, Actually I tweeted this in 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.040 right when and right after Dac went down. Cooper Rush 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.440 came into that first game. What happens when Cooper Rush 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.120 leads this team to a bunch of wins, looks good 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.360 doing it, and then Dad comes back. What if he 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.120 looks like the same act we saw in week one? 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.400 I saw a tweet, and I wish I could remember 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.120 who it was. I could credit them. They said, you 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.280 better watch out, Cooper Rush. You're playing yourself into a 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.480 starting role for the Panthers. That's really good. That's really good. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.680 You're taking a chance of me. Quarterback Brian Cleveland's Jacoby 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.920 Brissette at home against the Chargers, who have surrendered surrendered 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.560 at least two passing yards and multiple passing touchdowns in 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.159 every game so far. Last week, they allowed five completions 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.920 of twenty plus yards. To be very comparable Davis Mills. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.560 I like Jacoby Brissette, alright. What happened to the chargers 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.520 rebuilt secondary? Wow, I've got Ryan Tannehill. Nobody gets out 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.640 of bed going on. I can't wait to start Ryan Tannehill. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.240 But it's Washington. They've allowed the most passing touchdowns despite 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.600 playing some third tier talents like Trevor Lawrence and Cooper Rush. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.840 Cornerbacks William Jackson and Kendall Fuller owned Pro Football Focus 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.040 ranks at cornerback of a hundred fourteen and a hundred 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.200 forty four. Fuller is allowed the second most yardage among 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.960 all cornerbacks. Trailing Burks is gonna miss the game. But 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.000 Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook at Keene good enough to style 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.960 Ryan Tannehill. Let's go to the running back position, Scott, Yes, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.280 I am going to go with my guy. I play 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.640 in the league with Tyler Algier. I noticed this week 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.520 that I am playing against Tyler Lgire Oh in a game. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.000 He's gonna start, and he's starting himself over David Montgomery 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.440 and over Antonio Gibson. He's throwing himself in the lineup 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.600 right there. So that tells you how much Tyler L. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.680 Gire feels about himself in this matchup. Uh, they lost 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.000 Corderal Patterson. They do have Caleb Huntley, who was activated 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.439 from the practice squad last week to go big against 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.120 the Cleveland Browns. They're gonna have to activate him again 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.119 and he'll have to stay on the active roster after that. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.840 But he he had eight of his tent carries on 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.479 one drive. He's mostly a big body back. He might 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.680 get goal line work. Avery Avery Williams is more of 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.119 a pass catching back, but Tyler lgre is the guy 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.119 who caught the passes to the last two weeks in 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.600 in in those games. So I have Tyler Algier to 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.840 get a decent workload against uh against this buckste that 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.119 gave up a hundred fifty total yards and two scores 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.119 to the Chiefs last week. Oddly yielding Bucks run defense 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.560 last week, but still very good run defense. Uh, Brian, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.960 you're take a chance of me running back the Rams 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.439 Darryl Henderson at home against Dallas. The Cowboys are allowing 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.520 four point eight yards per carry and more than five 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.400 catches per game to opposing running backs. Last week, Henderson 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.720 had eleven opportunities. Those are carries and targets to be 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.639 nine of cam Acres, who did absolutely nothing with his 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:19.840 Henderson is a better running back on this team, and 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.040 he's gonna have a better game between the two. Travis 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.639 Etn has been a massive disappointment, But if you're not 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.960 going to play him against Houston, why is he on 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.960 your roster. Houston allowing one hundred eighty total yards and 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.160 one and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.360 both second worst in the league at ten. Hasn't flashed 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.440 as a receiver like we thought he would. I thought 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.399 he was gonna be sitting on like a forty catch season. 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.320 He's not gonna come close. But I'll note Houston has 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.760 bottom ten and receptions and receiving yards to running backs. 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.600 So if it's ever gonna happen, this might be it. Alright, 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.600 let's go to your take a chance of mer receivers, Scott. Yeah, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.879 I'm going with George Pickens. You probably you probably haven't 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:03.800 been starting him, but he's he's three roster and maybe 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.520 up a little bit more this week. But he's going 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.480 against Buffalo. Tough matchup, doesn't make you feel good. But 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.320 last week after after Kenny Pickett came in, he was 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.000 targeted over thirty percent of the time with pickets. Passes 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.800 had seventy one yards for a hundred two yards or 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.520 seventy one of his hundred and two yards with Pickett 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.680 catching all four of his targets. His average depth of 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.159 target with pick in that second half way larger than 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.520 Rabinsky Pickets attempts were way longer than than Trabinsky and 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.359 their fourteen point dogs. I think they're trying to pass 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.200 to keep it and then keep it paced with the 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.560 Bills in this one. Well, I'll look forward to hearing 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.600 what you think about Nazi Harris in a very tricky 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.720 matchup in a couple of minutes. Uh, Brian, let's go 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.920 to York take a chance on the receiver. I'm gonna 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.400 double down on the Browns and go with Donovan People's 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.920 jones against the Chargers, who are allowing more than a 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.440 hundred and sixty yards per game to opposing wide receivers 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.160 and they've surrendered the second most touchdowns of the position 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:02.320 with six. DPJ has out targeted and outperformed Marie Cooper 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.960 in two of four games. Cooper is surely going to 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.760 draw more attention from the Chargers defense is also going 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.080 to have their hands very full with the run game 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.560 of the Browns, meaning d p J should be running 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.000 routes against single coverage all game long. Corey Davis has 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:20.800 been shockingly competent this year. Actually in many scoring systems. 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.080 He is a wide receiver too well. They're paying him 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.560 to do just that. He keeps getting dropped and picked 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.480
