Speaker 1: can take a chance. My co host today are Scott

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson. Welcome back, Scott. Been a while. Yeah,

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: it's been a little while, and I'm glad to be back.

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Glad I have made it here today. Now. I don't

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: do this to you guys very often, but we're shaking

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: things up. Tough question number one, Boy, we're getting to

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: the weather right off the bat. Baby, Okay, there are

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: six games scheduled to be played at thirteen degrees or

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: less on balance. What is the appropriate level of panic

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: for those affected players? Is it none? Is it some?

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: Scott level of panic for them as just people being

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: in the Okay, they got to go freeze O hundreds

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: of thousands and in some cases literally a million dollars

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: or more to play just that game freeze. Okay, it's

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot closer than none since two thousand and I

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: get this, David data from an article from CBS earlier

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: this week. Since two thousand, total scoring in freezing temp

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: games drops only one point eight total points for the

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: whole game for both teams. Pass Yards drop about thirty

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: four per game. Rush yards increased by about seventeen per

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: game him So on a team level, that's less than

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: a point difference per team seventeen passing yards you gain

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: about eight or nine rushing yards, not much difference. The

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: bigger concern is high sustained winds. I could go into

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the data on that, because that's much more effective. But

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: the cold on its own, not so much. The cold

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: with the wind, however, that some of the really really

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: high wind games that could cause them. But the cold,

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with none, just on the cold. Brian,

40
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: I don't know how I can add much to that,

41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: but I'll put it this way. In terms of this

42
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: weekend's games with weather concerns. I've got an A grade

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: concern in Cleveland where they're taking on the Saint is

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the one thirty miles per hour of sustained winds with

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: gusts up to fifty miles per hour recently. That's potential sixtys.

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: There are going to be some hammered people in the

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: stands there. That's the only way you can with stand

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: that kind of weather conditions. And then and then in Chicago,

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be like, you know, twenty five mile

50
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: powers of stained wins, but it's really it's all about

51
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: the winds, not the cold. So broadly none but for

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: those two games, definitely some For me. You guys have

53
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: cracked the code on this first of all night's data gathering. Scott,

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: My data was basically identical. It's a it's the average

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: median game score of all games over the last three years.

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: His forty five points, regardless of where it's played. When

57
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: it's played, forty five points. These cold weather games under

58
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: thirteen degrees, the average drops all the way down from

59
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: forty to forty three. Not even a field goals difference.

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: There's one point eight, that's right. I'd rounded it the

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: whole numbers for the for the simplicity of our listeners,

62
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: UM wad that. Well, that's not what I'm saying, so

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: really almost no panic here. But I also did a

64
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: car about on the two wind games which we mentioned. Now,

65
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Bills at Bears has a twenty two the current forecast

66
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: two wins, and that a wind chill of minus twenty,

67
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: so we're getting into some serious territory there. The Browns game,

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: because it's warmer, only has a minus twelve wind chill

69
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: only only minus twelve. Those those would be some level

70
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: of concern for those games, but the other ones I

71
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: have no concern about. And the reason we're doing this

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: first is because in those matchups, I don't want to

73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: spend all of our time in the matchups talking about

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the weather. Certainly can mention the weather for the Bears, Browns, Chief, Steelers, Titans,

75
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: and Ravens homes game home games, but we are not

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: freaking out about the weather accepting Bills, Bears, Saints Brown's

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: because of the wind, I will drop that data that

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: one data point I had there since two thousand in

79
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: games with both fifteen plus miles powers sustained and freezing attempts.

80
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: The score dropped nearly four points and over fifty yards

81
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: passing down. Do you know what makes your score draws?

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: A little bit about not scoring won? That will do

83
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: it right there. Garrett Wilson, oh man, bam knight even

84
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: yeah right, well no, Garrett Wilson killed assassinated. But by

85
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: the way, how Wilson, how did we not see Evan

86
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Ingram coming with both the revenge game and going for

87
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: an incentive last night? That good point. It was like

88
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: it's a revenge game against the stadium because it's the

89
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: same stadium the Giants planned. But I hear you. I

90
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: like that angle. The Las Vegas Raiders traveled to the

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. This is a fascinating matchups in a few

92
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: in a few different ways. This years have been a

93
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: very good past defense. The Raiders need Davante Adams talk

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: to me about how you see this game shaping up?

95
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: Sure revenge game against the fans maybe locals? Yeah? All right?

96
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Uh for the on the on the Raiders side, here

97
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I have Derek Carr on the back. I just think

98
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: it's too tough of a spot for him. Only a

99
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: few studd star quarterbacks have had multiple scores this year

100
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, most leave the game. Most quarterbacks they

101
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: faced leave the game with one touchdown in low yards

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: uh if. I will say Cars had multiple scores in

103
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: six last seven, but those were much much better matchups

104
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: than this. I have him on the bench as well

105
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: as uh Mac Hollins. I have on the bench because

106
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Darren Waller's back. Ren froze back. Waller really ate into

107
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: him last week. Um he did score on that that

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: toe out of bounds? Did he really score? Touched him

109
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: last week? But outside of that didn't. I know, outside

110
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: of that, he really didn't do much last week. And

111
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: Waller only played for nine percent of the snaps. He

112
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: should get that back up to his normal seventy level

113
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: this week. Steelers had held down Mark Andrews last week,

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: but Huntley was in Mark Andrews was hurt. I I

115
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: think Waller is more likely to do kind of like

116
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: what Gilani did, Woods did a couple weeks ago, and

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: other uh you know, four five to ninety yard tight

118
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: ends have done. I have a B grade on Waller.

119
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: I didn't mention Davante Adams, but I think he's just

120
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: an automatic A because even in Cars one dot he

121
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: had seventy plus yards, you know, like he's just always

122
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: in your lineup. And then there's Josh Jacobs in the

123
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: running game. A grade here, hundred plus total yards in

124
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: sixth straight, scoring five times, and twenty four plus touches

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: in all of those uh six, also averaging nearly four

126
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: catches per game in that span, which which is wonderful

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: to see. Twenty touchbacks against this team against the Steelers

128
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: average about a hundred thirteen yards in the score. Jacobs

129
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: gets everything, so a grade they're on that kind of volume.

130
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Over to the other side, I don't have a lot

131
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of starting grades here Kenny Pick and I have on

132
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the bench. I don't know how much I have to

133
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: go into that. All right, let's do that. Um, he

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even have a multiple scored game this year. I

135
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: think he's got like one or two games over two

136
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards, just one. We'll see you next yearn Deonte

137
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: Johnson miss practice on Wednesday and Thursday. I think he

138
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: was limited on front. But Naji Harris would did a

139
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: favorite for all as fantasy football fans, and he said,

140
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: don't worry Deante's playing like that. So we so thank

141
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: you Naji Harris for that. Um. And because of that,

142
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving Deonte Johnson a C grade just on the volume.

143
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Um Uh. When Picktt first got the job, he focused

144
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: on Pickens, But over the last four it is really

145
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: shifted both in targets and production to Johnson's side. Uh

146
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: comulate culminating last week in a in a ten plus

147
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: ten plus catch game there. Uh, Johnson's shared the production. Yeah,

148
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: so it's it's a middle of the pack pasty really

149
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: versus wide receivers. But several other low aid out wide

150
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: receivers that had have had production against the Raiders and

151
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: Rock Your Sin might miss this game as well. So

152
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: I got Deante Johnson with the Sea He's he's the

153
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: only wide receiver though the college first touchdown of the year.

154
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call it, no, no, give the opportunity,

155
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: all right. Uh no, No, that's that's pretty bold. To

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: call for a Pickett to row a touchdown is probably

157
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: even even more even more bold. Pat Fiarmouth freeer Mouth.

158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on averaging five for sixty

159
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: on over seven targets per game in Pickett's last six starts.

160
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Is it f it is freer Mouth? Yeah? We just

161
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: we do the and then we you know, we find

162
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: out four you know what the annoying one Thos is

163
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: chicken kN ku who they're even the Titans site says

164
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: a quanu as the like the pronunciation guide and they

165
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: have a video of him saying a kuan kuka. That's

166
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: certainly not our fault at that point. No, no, anyway,

167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: h I gave a C grade to Firemouth. I think

168
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I said what I only three tight ends of top

169
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: six yards against them against the Steelers against the Raiders. Uh,

170
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: and none have scored since Kelsey scored four times. But

171
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: the volume that he's gotten with Pickett, it's worthy of

172
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: a C. He's gained seven targets a game. Uh. Nazi Harris,

173
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on seven of the last

174
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: eight lead backs against the Raiders have scored. Seven of

175
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: the last eight have scored eleven scores. That's a that's

176
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: a ridiculous amount. The hat to Nagi Harris reversing a

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: really a terrible we're telling people trade him away. But

178
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: which was the right advice because he's stunk a Patel

179
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving? But since then he's been much better. Yeah,

180
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: similar twenty touch type of backs like to Harris have

181
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: averaged a hundred thirty five yards and more than a

182
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: score per game, as I kind of just said with

183
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: seven of the last date. So I have a B

184
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: grade on Harris there, um and that's it. Actually, I'm

185
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna leave Jalen Warren on the bench. Yes, certainly, Cincinnati

186
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: taking on the New England Patriots. Brian, It's been a

187
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: tough run for Joe Mixon and it doesn't get any

188
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: better here. It's not as bad as you would think. Um, Yes,

189
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: som j. P. Ryan continues to steal touches, but he's

190
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: only averaging seven touches per game since Mixon's return. Mixing

191
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: has been averaging sixteen since he's come back from injury,

192
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and over the patriots last three game games, opposing backs

193
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: have averaged at six comboy in total touchdowns. I've gotta

194
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: be on mix and I'm gonna bench Peter Ryan in

195
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You might want to throw a dart at

196
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: him in daily, but I don't really like that as

197
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: much either. I do like nay love Jamaar Chase per usual,

198
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: he gets an a. Jonathan Jones is one of the

199
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: better corners in football and could shadow Chase, but I

200
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: do not care. Justin Jefferson and Stefon Diggs both had

201
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: big games against New England in recent weeks, and those

202
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: are like the three guys on their own tier in

203
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver land. So in A for Chase and A

204
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: for t Higgins. So if odds are Jonathan Jones spends

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: most of his time on Chase. Cornerbacks Jack Jones and

206
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills are both banged up questionable to play, so

207
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: I love Higgins this week. The Patriots have surrendered too

208
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns and three of their last four games

209
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: to the Vikings, the Bills and the Raiders, both both

210
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: very comparable offensive so uh and A for Higgins and

211
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: the sea for Tyler Boyd, who finally caught another touchdown

212
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: last week against the Bucks. You can argue this is

213
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: a better matchup against the Patriots. I like him a

214
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: lot more in dfs than seasonal, but if you're desperate,

215
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: he is startable in seasonal formats. It was c for

216
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: Boyd over to the tight end. Is Mitchell Wilcox startable again?

217
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Who I gave a starting grade deal last week? Well done?

218
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: That was that was impressive? Um, I'm gonna say Hayden

219
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Hurst ruled out again by the way, I'm gonna say

220
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: uh no in seasonal but again another great daily dart

221
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: for Mitchell Wilcox. But I'm gonna even a bench grade here.

222
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow an easy A. I'm not gonna get into

223
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: this too much. At a off I'm giving all the

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: receivers of starting grade. Basically, Burrow gets an A. Not

225
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,239
Speaker 1: a lot of starting grades for the Patriots. Remandre Stevenson,

226
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: I'll give him a B if Damien Harris sits. If

227
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 1: Harris plays, I'll bump him down to a sea. You

228
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: gotta feel bad for those who benched Ramandre Stevenson last week.

229
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: You can't to blame him. He had knocked me out

230
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: of most of my gears, all of my guillotine leagues

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: in which I had him the week before that, but

232
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: in some of my other leagues I had I had,

233
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: I had played him, then he got hurt. Then I

234
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: didn't play him the next week. I was worried about

235
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: the matchup and him being hurt, and then he went off.

236
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: Last course, he went off on just sixties six of

237
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the snaps. I think those numbers go up a little

238
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: bit even if Harris comes back. So again a B

239
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: for Stevenson if Harris is out to see if Harris

240
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: does return, Jacoby Myers, all the other wide receivers Mac

241
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: Jones that are on the bench. When it comes to

242
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, Bengals surrender nine touchdowns to the position,

243
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: fourth fewest, and Mike Hilton should return. As for mac Jones,

244
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: he should probably be benched in real life. Why would

245
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: they not go to bit you know, their their seasons over.

246
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: Why would the Patriots not get a longer look at

247
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Bailey's appy and see what you got? And I just

248
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: feel so bad for Jacoby Myers who was put in

249
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: such an awkward situation when asked like, why did he

250
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: put himself in an awkward situation? Kind of kind of

251
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Well, he throw a lateral to

252
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: the other team? Why did when? When Bill Belichick was

253
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: asked why did mac Jones not throw a hail, Mary

254
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: says he can't throw it that far? One who cares, Well,

255
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: you're still throw it as far as you can. You're

256
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: not gonna try, and I don't know that. I feel bad.

257
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Stevens had made a heck of a play on that though,

258
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: but until he threw it back, yeah, port Jacoby free

259
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: agent next year to put him on a good offense please.

260
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: And lastly, I will give Hunter Henry a c in

261
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the tight end waste land if you are desperate. Opposing

262
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: tight ends are averaging five plus catches and fifty plus

263
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: yards against the Bengals, So if you need a tight end,

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: you can go. Everyone needs speaking to tight ends. When

265
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: we come back, Mark Andrews, what are you gonna do

266
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: with him? If you somehow made it to your semifinals

267
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: with Mark Andrews, do you start him again and hope

268
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: for a better outcome or do you find somebody else.

269
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: We'll tell you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

270
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's take a chance on me. Nine players

271
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: not normally new starting lineup will give you some ideas

272
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: for fresh players you can start. And actually, you know,

273
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: even though it's the playoffs, injuries, benching, all kinds of

274
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: situations in which you may need somebody unusual to take

275
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: a rep for you would be geto the quarterback position,

276
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Scott you got. Let's get gross charged. Let's get real

277
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: gross here, gross like like we're talking fourteen teamers, maybe

278
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: deeper twelve teamers where people are roster hoarding. I'm gonna

279
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: go with Sam Donald. I think it's a good spot

280
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: for him, all right. The Lions allow the third most

281
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: past yards, eighth most past touchdowns, first most fantasy points

282
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: three plus and multiple scores and back to back here,

283
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: they're constantly in shootouts. Almost every game is a shootout.

284
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: It feels like this is a game they could actually

285
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: get a head in, potentially causing Sam Donald to throw more. Also,

286
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: seven of the last eight against them three hundred plus

287
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: totaly yards. Seven of the last eight. That's ridiculous. Donald's

288
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: very good. Difficult to start, I know, but he has

289
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: at least one score and he should the last three

290
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: in far tougher matchups. You can't get grosser than Sam Donald.

291
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: But but I'm giving it to you. It's a possible

292
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: option if you're really stretched. Okay, Bryant, let's go to

293
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: your quarterback. I might be able to get a little

294
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: grosser than Sam Donald for not two obvious reasons. But

295
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: we'll get into in a second. Russell Wilson Wilson, who

296
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: finally looked great before getting knocked out late in the

297
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: Week fourteen game. He missed last week with the concussion

298
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: that knocked him out in Week fourteen, but he's full

299
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: go for his matchup against the Rams, who are beyond

300
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: deflated at this point. And it's really just all about

301
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: the motivation factor here. No quarterback is going to be

302
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: more motivated than Russell will Wilson, who's just one passing

303
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: touchdown shy of his toilet total of twelve those who

304
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: don't know, twelve toilets in the Wilson household, he only

305
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: has eleven passing touchdowns, but I predict he throws at

306
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: least two touchdowns to put those pesky toilets in the

307
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: rearview mirror. Russell Wilson is he gonna put the toilets

308
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: behind him. He's gonna do flush man straight to hell.

309
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. My quarterback is Tom Brady, which sounds

310
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: pretty great compared to the guys you just throw out,

311
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady's got fewer Fantasy points this year than

312
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones or Jared Goff, so he is take Tom worthy.

313
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Brady may get Elite tackle Tristan worfsback for this game.

314
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: That would be very handy. The Cardinals are already one

315
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: of the easiest matchups against the past, but now cornerback

316
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy has been ruled out and the next three

317
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are all questionable, So this could be a passing

318
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: bonanza for Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gauge, and

319
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: even Kate Otten. With a strongly positive matchup Tom Brady.

320
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position, Scott, I have

321
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I know people are afraid of James Cook,

322
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: and he's getting more and more work. He's in the

323
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, who has only started in like forty percent

324
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: of leagues. Last week, James Cook, he has he has

325
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: less than seven touches in three to last four despite

326
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: his you know, his snapping snap snap count increasing like crazy.

327
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: This is the eighth easiest matchup for backs. Game script

328
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: should be in their favor, and the Bills are running

329
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: it more late than they were earlier in the season

330
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: where they just kept passing. Uh. It's the seventh highest

331
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry at four point seven three high yards

332
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: per reception to so when Devin Singletary does get his touches,

333
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna rip them off in chunks. Um fourth fourth

334
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: most rushing scores is just a really good spot. Plus

335
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: they did the uh. The Bears did hold down the

336
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: Philly running backs last week, but they gave up seventeen

337
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: rushes for sixty one yards and three rushing touchdowns to her.

338
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: It's like that was a running the two games before,

339
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: Jets had two hundred seventeen yards in the score um

340
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: and the Packers gave up a hundred had a hundred score.

341
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: Is just a great spot for Devin Singletary keeping Brian,

342
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: your take a chance of me running back. I got

343
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers Joshua Kelly at the Colts in the Monday

344
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: Night Hammer game. On the season, the Colts are allowing

345
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty four combo yards and more than

346
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game to opposing running backs, but over

347
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: their last three games, I'm like laughing already looking at this,

348
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: India is allowing one and ninety two combo yards and

349
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: two point seven total touchdowns to the position. I know

350
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler is the starter, but Ekeler only saw fourteen

351
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: touches last week while Kelly got eleven. Both scored a touchdown,

352
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: and I think both will be more than Ekeler certainly

353
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: will be serviceable, but I think Kelly can be too.

354
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: You could start either one of the Colts running backs

355
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, but I'm gonna back Dion Jackson in

356
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: this one. Jonathan Taylor's you know is out. Um. Zack

357
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: Moss got more work than Jackson in the last game,

358
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: but Moss like bad running at three point three yards

359
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: per carry. Jackson was more effective, Plus he catches, and

360
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going with my eyes here. Jackson's the

361
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: better back and it's a great matchup. In Deon Jackson's

362
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: four games with double digit touches, which I think he's

363
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: easily going to get to the ten touch mark. Deon

364
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: Jackson's averaging seventies six total yards and he's got a

365
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: pair of scores in those four games. Chargers allow the

366
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: second most touchdowns, second most rushing yards, and a league

367
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: worse five and a half yards per carry. A great

368
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: opportunity for Dion Jackson. Your Zack Moss fan club card

369
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: is it has I Burnever. I know I'm officially the

370
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: president now, but I was for I was not exactly right.

371
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up to go to the running back position, Scott.

372
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: I'll go to the wide receiver position, and I will

373
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: talk about Gabriel Davis. Who it's Gabel Davis week. I'm

374
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: calling it right now. It's Gabe Davis week, alright. I

375
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: know he hasn't topped He's top like forty yards once

376
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks, and that's pretty pretty common

377
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: for him when he doesn't score touchdowns. But he's at

378
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: at least five targets in all but one game since

379
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: the bye. Seven wide receiver touchdowns allowed in the last

380
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: six games by the Bears. Also, the Bills are top

381
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: third in explosive plays. The Bears are also bottom five um.

382
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: And also the Bears allowed the second highest yards per

383
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: reception at fourteen point five. And Davis is the deep

384
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: ball guy. I think this is I think Davis gets

385
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: his this week. Chicago will be missing their best corner well,

386
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: they're only good cornerback Jalen Johnson's gonna be out for

387
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: this game and his season has done. Kindle Vildor, who

388
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: was bad? We missed kindall you just talked to me

389
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: into it. The touchdown guarantee there, it is all right, touchdown.

390
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: This is an all game for Gabe Davis. You're a receiver, Brian. Now,

391
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed he plays on Sunday, but it sounds

392
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: like he'll make his return, and that's Courtland Sutton, who

393
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pair with toilet boy Russell Wilson at the Ams,

394
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: who are allowing a hundred and sixty yards per game

395
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. That's the tenth most. And yeah, every

396
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: time we give you a new button charge, oh, I

397
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: gotta use it a bunch. It's gotta be the extended

398
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: version too. I love it. Uh sulting. You should see

399
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: plenty of coverage from Jalen Ramsey, but who cares. Ramsey

400
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: has surrendered the second most touchdowns among cornerbacks with seven.

401
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I think he's fallen off that Josh Norman cliff that

402
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: we saw a few year And by the way, this

403
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: weekend the anniversary of the Josh Norman Taylor Lujan scuffle.

404
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if you recall this after the end

405
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: of the Titans Washington team game. Anyway, it reminded it

406
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: was like, this's gonna happen to Jalen Ramsey. Cortland Sulton

407
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: is gonna have a good game if he plays. I've

408
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: got Marquis Goodwin going up against the Chiefs. Tyler Lockett

409
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: is out. Goodwin finds himself in the number two receiver

410
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: role for Seattle good one is of course not lock it,

411
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: but he's got a good chance to produce in a

412
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: plus matchup. Over the last the last three competent passing

413
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: attacks to face Kansas City, and I think Seattle Counts

414
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: is competent. With Geno Smith, They've produced two receivers with

415
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: at least sixty yards go to course is all about

416
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: the speed he's got the track literal track star speed,

417
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: and the cornerbacks for the Chiefs are universally pretty slow,

418
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: including cornerback Joshua Williams, who ruins a four five. Over

419
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, Williams has allowed a near pass

420
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: perfect pass a writing of a hundred fifty two in

421
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: his coverage, and he's the guy that's lad to see

422
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: the most of Marquise a goodwin one of my favorite

423
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: sneaky plays of the week. Falcons take on the Baltimore Ravens.

424
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot to talk about on the

425
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Falcon side. The only starting grade I've got is for

426
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: Tyler al Geer coming up a one hundred thirty yard game,

427
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: but I don't love his chances against a fantastic Ravens

428
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: run defense. Over the last four games, he has topped

429
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: fifty two yards in each game, but Baltimore has emerged

430
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: his arguably the NFL's best run defense, giving up just

431
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: sixty one rushing yards in total per game since the

432
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Rowe Kwan Smith acquisition. Lger has to split sixty one

433
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: yards with Cordarrell Patterson and Chet Huntley. So he is

434
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: just a dart throw player. Oh man, that one too.

435
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: By the way, Tyler Algier has already been knocked out

436
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: of the league. I have no inside info here. That's

437
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: good to know. Corderal Patterson is on the bench, usually

438
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: finds his way to fifty yards, but he doesn't catch

439
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: or have predictable scoring, and the matchups brutal. He's out.

440
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: The entire passing game is dad Desmond ritterd just came

441
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: off a nineties seven yard passing game and this is

442
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: a solid Ravens past defense. You're not gonna start any

443
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: of those guys. All right, Let's go to the Baltimore side.

444
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: What to do with Mark Andrews up possible bouts back

445
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: coming here. Falcons are bottom six and targets, receptions and

446
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: yards allowed to tight ends, giving up over sixty five

447
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: yards and back to back games to the position along

448
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: with four touchdowns over the last three games to tight ends.

449
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: The Falcons have avoided most of the really good tight

450
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: end this year, but the ones they've faced Kittle and

451
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: Joeku Frymer Friar Muth also passed seventy receiving yards. I

452
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: just I want to believe in Mark Andrews. I want

453
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: to believe that Tyler Huntley is gonna be okay here,

454
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him a B grade and just

455
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: let's hope that everybody that's made it this far on

456
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: the meager output of Mark Andrews gets rewarded here in

457
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: a very favorable matchup. The only other starting grade for

458
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: the entire Ravens team is JK. Dobbins, over his last

459
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: two games, averaging one three rushing yards on eight yards

460
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: per carry. He'll have a good opportunity to keep it

461
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: going against the tanking Falcons, allowing the eleventh most rushing yards.

462
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: They've allowed resurgent performances to struggling running backs in three

463
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: straight games, including Brian Robbins and Nazi Harris and Alvin Kamara,

464
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: who averaged ninety three rushing yards per game. JK Dobbins

465
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: a B grade in this one. I can't give any

466
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: of the rest of the passing game a starting grade,

467
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't even think about starting him anyway. And

468
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is also on the bench. He only played,

469
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: He's only playing already two snaps per game, No thirties

470
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: two snaps total in the two games since J. K.

471
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: Dobbins returned. That's just not enough volume. Sixteen touches a

472
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: game is not enough volume to start anybody in the

473
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. Let's see here do I want to get Yeah,

474
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: let's work in one more matchup, Detroit Lions to Carolina Panthers.

475
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Scott Trent's offense has slowed considerably over the last couple

476
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: of weeks. What do you think about a game that's

477
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna be surprisingly cold. I wouldn't call it necessarily a

478
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: cold weather game, but they're talking about wind chills under

479
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: freezing in Carolina. Yeah, it's it's weird for that area

480
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: that it happens. It happens. I do have a B

481
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: grade on golf, though the Panthers have been pretty decent

482
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: against QB. The highest yardist day allowed over the last

483
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: month and a half was two sixty five, but most

484
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: of those cartobacks are guys like Trevisky and Russell Wilson

485
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: and Mariota twice and stuff. So it's it's not exactly

486
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: a murderers row of quarterbacks. Golf is coming off his

487
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: worst game over the last month, and even even even

488
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: in that it wasn't that bad. He had three hundred

489
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: plus and or multiple scores in three straight before the

490
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: two fifty two and one last week against a very

491
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: stout jut Jets secondary. So um, I'm giving B grade

492
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: to Jared Goff. I think Alman Rosen otto a. But

493
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: do I need to go into it? Do I need

494
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: to go into Alma? Why you should start? I'm on

495
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Rob st Brown almost every week. I mean, given what

496
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: he's done in the last few weeks, almost nothing, he

497
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: still gets a ton of volume. It's it's a it's

498
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of volume. I suppose you need more scores.

499
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a lot of yards with that volume.

500
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: But Panthers are eight worst, eighth worst against wide receivers

501
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Deante Johnson, who kind of compares okay with Alman Ross

502
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: and Brown with with all the the high volume in

503
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the low yardage low a dot. I think that's fair

504
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: seven for like seventy last week against the Jets for

505
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Deante last week, alman Ros on a better offense, gets

506
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: more volume than that on average better player. Panthers ninth

507
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: worst against the slot where alman Ross sometimes goes a

508
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: lot of the time goes. I still have an A

509
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: grade on Amanro. I do have DJ Chark on the bench.

510
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: I have all of them on the bench, actually, but

511
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the passing game. But d J. Chark

512
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: will probably get J. C. Horne, So don't even don't

513
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: even consider it. J C. Horne, by the way, he's

514
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: a defensive rookie of the year. Do you think, well,

515
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: he's second year player because he lost last year with

516
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: the injury. Oh that's oh yeah he is. He has

517
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: He has made good on the first round pick the Panthers,

518
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: right last, right, J Browns. J Horne's good? Yeah? Uh.

519
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: Jamal Lewis or Jamal jamal Lewis back in the league.

520
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams and DeAndre Swift. I actually have C grades

521
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: on both of them. Justin Jackson isn't going away. He's

522
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: sucking out five, six, seven touches, which is really annoying.

523
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: But Williams is always the best bet to score and

524
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: gets the majority of the volume. The split has been

525
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: pretty fifty fifty the last three weeks between them. Swift

526
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: gets the receiving work with an average of four per

527
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: game over the last five Panthers middle of the pack,

528
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: but thirteen plus touch guys, which both Swift and Jamal

529
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Williams have been um recently. The thirteen plus two touch

530
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: guys eighty six yards, ninety two yards two or eleven yards,

531
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: ninety one yards, eighty five yards. They're all getting tons

532
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: and tons of volume against this defense. So I think

533
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: it's just enough for a possible touchdown a Jamal pass

534
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: game workout of Swift to get them both in your

535
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Lower flexes makes sense, makes sense. Um, let's

536
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: take it. The opportunity, take a break. I think it's

537
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: that time when we come back. Yeah, I need to

538
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: do the other side. Actually, that's what you too much,

539
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: too much of a positive the music, kill the music,

540
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, take a chance. I mean quarterback start offense.

541
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: D J Morris c grade Uh scored last week, bringing

542
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: his season total to five for the first time in

543
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: his career. He's never gotten more than four. This is

544
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: one game after a goose egg, but he does have

545
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: fifteen targets in the last three Donald games, which is

546
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: more than twice of any other Panther. It's a matchup

547
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: against the bottom three d versus wide receivers, allowing the

548
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: most yards and third most receptions to wide receivers. I

549
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: lean towards those types of stats instead of the goose egg.

550
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: I do have the rest of the players for the

551
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: Panthers on the bench, Hubbard and Foreman. They're splitting. It's

552
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: losing work to chub. Now the alliance has turned awesome.

553
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: I know, I was. I was just going there. It's

554
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: been great recently. Only two running back scores in less

555
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: seven games, and only one running back over sixty yards,

556
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: and it's about three and a half yards per carrying.

557
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: No backs over twenty receiving yards. So you're mentioning all

558
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: other receivers and running backs there. Hey, how about let's

559
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: do it now. Let's do it now. Fantastic. When we

560
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: come back, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans. Obviously they're starting Derrick Henry.

561
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Is there anybody else to start in the entire game

562
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: between the Texans and the Titans? Find out when we

563
00:30:48,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: come back for another segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back,

564
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly Semi Finals Arctic Edition here to help

565
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: you get a playoff win. It's a block of matchups

566
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: in this segment, beginning with the New Orleans Saints taking

567
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: on the Cleveland Browns and Brian this is a cold

568
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: weather game. Alvin Kamara has been a Grade A disaster

569
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: so far this year, arguably the worst first round draft

570
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: pick you could have made. If you would have just

571
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: snapped his femur in Week one, it would have been

572
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: a lot better for his fantasy owners. Honestly, I know

573
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: it's been a brutal year, but hopefully he makes up

574
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: for it. If you happen to be alive and are

575
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: able to start Alvin Kamara in a meaningful game, that's

576
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the track, isn't it. It is, but I'm gonna give

577
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: him an a here. Over their last six games, the

578
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Browns have allowed nine different running backs to rush for

579
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: at least sixty four yards or a touchdown, and really,

580
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is the only viable back on the Saints.

581
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, David Johnson. It is awesome to see David

582
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: Johnson in football again though, by the way, but Cleveland

583
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: should be without Jadeveon Clowney that's big for Kamara and

584
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland also allowing more than five catches per game to

585
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: opposing running backs, So again a grade for Alvin Kamara.

586
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: All the wide receivers around the bench from New Orleans,

587
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: Crystal Lave has been ruled out. Jarvis Landry, no revenge

588
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: game for him. He's ruled out, like you're gonna start

589
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: him anyway. I like Rashichi he but again, this is

590
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: the game with the thirty mile prowers, the Stained wins

591
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: and fifty mile prower gusts and Andy Dalton is the

592
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: quarterback who's on the bench, by the way, but who

593
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to bench are both the tight ends

594
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: for the Saints, Juan Johnson and Taysom Hill. I'm gonna

595
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: give both his sea starting with Johnson. If you take

596
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: out the Saints blowout win against the Raiders, that was

597
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: the one good Alvin Kamara game all season. When why

598
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: would I take out a blowout win because they weren't

599
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. When it pertains to Juan Johnson, they

600
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: needed the points to game. You're you're ruining this chart.

601
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: Just quade for a second. And then there was the

602
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: blowout loss of the forty Niners where Jowan Johnson only

603
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: played of the snaps. I think he was injured in

604
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: that game because he missed the following game. But if

605
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: you count his last five regular or normal games, he

606
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: has scored seven touchdowns in those games. And if you've

607
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: extrapolate his stats from those five games across the whole season,

608
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: Joan Johnson would have eighty one catches for seven ninety yards,

609
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: which is pretty good end, but twenty four touchdowns. So

610
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Joana Johnson, if you can somehow add him,

611
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: you know as a dynasty stash, He's a very intriguing

612
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: player going into next year. He's tight end seven right

613
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: now in standard formats. At the end of the year,

614
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be very weird with Ingram and Joy Johnson,

615
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: all these nobodies, but but littered in the top ten

616
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: tight ends. But the Brown is not a great matchup

617
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: for Johnson. They have allowed just two tight end touchdowns

618
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: all the year. But with all the issues at wide

619
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: receiver and you kind of think it's gonna be intermediate

620
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: passing this one. I'm gonna give Johnson the Sea, and

621
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: the same for Taysom Hill. It's almost impossible to predict

622
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: the Taysom Hill game. But this kind of feels like

623
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: this pretable, feels like it tastem kill game. Whe He'll

624
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: certainly get some carries and who knows some some cheap

625
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: pass yards. But uh, speaking of cheap pass yards, Andy Dalton,

626
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: that's all he gets. He's on the bench. Um over

627
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: to the brown side. Nick Chubb like him here, he

628
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: gets a b has been dealing with a foot issue,

629
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: but he's off the injury report entirely. We know they're

630
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna run. Both teams gonna run the ball a lot

631
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: in these windy conditions. Uh, The scenes have allowed the

632
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: eighth most rushing yards running backs on the season, and

633
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: over the last two games, they've surrendered two touchdowns to

634
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: the position. That's why I'll give Kareem Hunt a CE

635
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: only in PPR though Hunts touches have dipped over the

636
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: last two weeks, but I think he sees more in

637
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: this game because of the wind. The Saints are also

638
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: allowing five catches per game two running backs. Yeah, you

639
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: know Kareem Hunt isn't catching like they don't throw to

640
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: him enough. He's for one of the probably ten or

641
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: twelve best pass catching backs in the NFL. He needs

642
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: more than like the two and a half catches a game.

643
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. It's been down here for him as well,

644
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: but I don't know. It's just the running backs are

645
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: gonna be leaned on more in this game. Running back

646
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: slash asom Hill. So I will give see uh Kareem

647
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Hunt to see in PPR. I'm benching Amari Cooper and

648
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones. Though Cooper has been dealing with a

649
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: hip injury and hasn't scored in four straight games, the

650
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Saints have allowed just one wide receiver over their last

651
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: three and could finally be getting back Marshawn Lattimore of

652
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: their top cornerback this week. So I've got both Cooper

653
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: and People's Jones on the bench again in these brutal winds,

654
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: and David and Joeku on the bench as well. The

655
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: Saints are the top ranked defense against tight ends, allowing

656
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: just three and a half catches thirty two yards per

657
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: game to the position and only two total touchdowns all

658
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: year to tight ends. And lastly, Brown's quarterback also on

659
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the bench. He's not trusting him in many situations. But

660
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: this game, Giants are taking on the Minnesota Vikings, and

661
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: what could be a high scoring game, maybe more so

662
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: on the Viking side, but we'll start with the Giants.

663
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley is the bulk of the Giants offense, and

664
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't love this matchup. He's been at three point

665
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry or worse in five of the

666
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: last seven games, and the Vikings allowed just three point

667
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry on the whole season. Only one

668
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: back is at ninety rushing yards all year. Minnesota ranks

669
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: number two and run defense by Pro Football Focus. That's

670
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: all bad news for Barkley. Your glimmer of hope is

671
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: that he's a very good pass catcher, and the Vikings

672
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: are bottom six in receptions and receiving yards two runners,

673
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: so Barkley will chip in enough through the air to

674
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: keep him at a B grade. Here, we'll hope for

675
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. If there's one touchdown to be had for

676
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: the Giants, it's most likely going to say Kwon Barkley.

677
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: The rest of the passing game may great, but I

678
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: think we can put a C grade on Daniel Jones,

679
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: largely because of what he's gonna do on the ground.

680
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: But we'll start with through the air. The Vikings have

681
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: the league's worst past defense by yardage, but I don't

682
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: know that Daniel Jones is necessarily gonna take advantage of that.

683
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: He's averaging just on passing yards per game, that's fifth

684
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: lowest among all starting quarterbacks. He's averaging zero point eight

685
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game. That's it. And I don't really

686
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: like any of his starting receivers very much. So yeah,

687
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: just to see great on Daniel Jones, but the Vikings

688
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: have faced three mobile quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields and

689
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They all topped forty seven rushing yards. And

690
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: if I'm the Giants, I'm running Daniel Jones in this game.

691
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: That could be the X factor in a game, and

692
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: that otherwise does not match up well. Darius Slayton, I

693
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: originally had a bench grade on. I think I've moved

694
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: him up to a sea over the last five weeks.

695
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota's allowing the fourth most receptions and second most yards

696
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: per game to opposing Whiteouts. At least one receivers logs

697
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: sixty yards against the Vikings in all but three games

698
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: this year, So I think Slayton finds himself if to

699
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: a decent game here, and if Daniel Jones is gonna

700
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: throw one touchdown. I would guess it's gonna be Darius Slayton.

701
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Richie James is runs in the slot against the increasingly

702
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: solid Chandon Sullivan. He hasn't a lot of touchdowns since

703
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: Week two, and he's held opposing receivers to thirty three

704
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: or fewer yards in five straights. So we're not starting

705
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: Richie James. Let's go to the Viking side. Uh. Dalvin

706
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: Cook and Justin Jefferson are obvious a's and I'm only

707
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna add this. The Giants are automn six and rushing

708
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: yards and rushing touchdowns allowed to running backs. That's gonna

709
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: be a very plus matchup for Dalvin Cook in a

710
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: way maybe we haven't seen most the rest of this year.

711
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: I've also got starting grades on the receivers here. Adam

712
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: Feeling has got a B grade, which I haven't given

713
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of B greats. I like him here. Since

714
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Dori Jackson's injury in Week ten, the Giants have allowed

715
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: at least sixty yards to multiple receivers in every one

716
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: of those games since Week ten. And if we're gonna

717
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: have a second receiver gets the sixty yards, theland is

718
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: the most likely one to get it. Opposing number two

719
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: receivers have scored touchdowns on the Giants in three consecutive weeks,

720
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: and theoland has scored in three out of the last

721
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: four weeks. So I like feeling here be grade k

722
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: j Osborne coming off a career game, and he'll face

723
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: off against one of the league's worst slot cornerbacks, darn

724
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: A Holmes. Holmes owns a PFF ranking as quarterback corner

725
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: back one hundred twenty five. You probably didn't think there

726
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: were undred twenty five cornerbacks in the league. That sounds

727
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: like last place. Over it's like fourth from last. Over

728
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the past six games, Holmes has allowed seventy of the

729
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: passes and his coverage should be completed. We'll go with

730
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: a C grade on kJ Osborne. CE grade on t J.

731
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: Hockenson just one touchdown since joining the Vikings, but he

732
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: is averaging a solid six catches for forty eight yards

733
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 1: and that's eleven points from your tight end, which around

734
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: this time of year is pretty darn great. The Giants

735
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: are an average tight end defense, but there is opportunity

736
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: against New York's linebacker due of Jalen Smith and Mike

737
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: and McFadden who allowed catch rade over eight. If Hockinson

738
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: scored more, I'd give him a B. But we're just

739
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: gonna put the sea because he has only the one

740
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: touchdown since coming to Minnesota, and with all those positive

741
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: grades for the receivers, obviously, I like Kirk Cousins here.

742
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: Um Cousins comes into this game as the Lead's hottest

743
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: passer with two game totals of eight hundred eighty five

744
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: passing yards and six touchdowns, and those games came against

745
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: far tougher secondaries than the one New York brings to

746
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium. A B grade for Kirk Cousins. Our

747
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: no match up with this segment is the Houston Texans

748
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: taking on the Tennessee Titans. Derrick Henry is an obvious aye.

749
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: My question to you is is there anybody else to

750
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: start between these two teams? Well, you're not even gonna

751
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: mention about going that. Derrick Henry is going for his

752
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: fifth straight two hundred plus yard multi touchdown game against Houston.

753
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: Just not just impressive. I have nobody else starting for

754
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in this one. Uh going against a

755
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: Houston defense that has been pretty good against the past,

756
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: but mostly because teams just run all over them all day.

757
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: Malik Willis did not look good in his first two

758
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: starts fifty five yards and eighty five yards. Burkes should play.

759
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: He's you know, out of the protocol and whatnot. He's

760
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: supposed to play. But with that low volume, you can't

761
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: trust Chicka Quanko either, um, especially with him splitting snaps

762
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: with Austin Hooper and and whatnot. Let's go over to

763
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: the Texans side. Though. I have an A grade on

764
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: Henry obviously, Uh, Davis Mills, I have a C grade

765
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: on eight quarterbacks. Yeah, eight quarterback to take a chance

766
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 1: on me quarterback? I thought about it, but I reluctant.

767
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, I wanted to get grosser. He actually David Sills.

768
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: Davis Mills almost was might take a chance on any quarterback. Uh,

769
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: he was the runner the one A. Eight quarterbacks. Eight

770
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have three hundred plus yards against the Titans this year.

771
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: Eight quarterbacks had multiple scores. Over the last three The

772
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: Titans have allowed eight QB scores in an average of

773
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: over three hundred and fifty yards per game. Their past

774
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: defense is released starting to let it up as six

775
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: point underdogs that no one can run on. No one

776
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: can run on the Titans. They're going to the Houston

777
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Texans are going to have to pass, and without Damian

778
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: Pierce once again, they're gonna have to pass a lot

779
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: more so. Davis Mills. I have a C grade on

780
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: I guarantee Davis Mills has more touchdowns and toilets in

781
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: his house. So I don't know why using the toilet

782
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: sound over him, but uh, And Mills is coming off

783
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: a three score game himself, by the way, three scores

784
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: last week, one rushing. Uh. He was supposed to go

785
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: to Jeff drist School, by the way. That was sickening

786
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: the Yahoo hack. Brandon Cooks, Brandon Cooks will be back

787
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: for this one. He's pexing and full now. I gotta

788
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: C grade on him, and a C grade on Chris Moore,

789
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: who has been a highlight the last few weeks. The

790
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: last time more and Cooks played and Nico Collins didn't.

791
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: Who is now and I are Chris mor Goose, But

792
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: he's been getting much a much higher percentage of snaps

793
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: and targets and whatnot since. I've C grades on both

794
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: of them against the Titans. D that is bottom three

795
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: against wide receivers. Allowing the second most receptions, third most yards,

796
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: fourth most touch It's just a good spot for them. Uh.

797
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Five wide receivers in the last three games have sixty

798
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: five plus yards and or score. I think it could

799
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: be both of them this week. Uh the running games

800
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: on the bench. Nobody can run against the Titans and

801
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: they're splitting work. I Aikin's Jordan. I have a C

802
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: grade on him. He scored into the last three. His

803
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: yardage isn't there, but the Titans are allowing the third

804
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: most receptions and second most yards, twelve most scores to

805
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: tight ends and they've allowed twenty catches to tight ends

806
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: in just the last two weeks. Ease, I think it's

807
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: no case spot for him. So see great on Jordan Nakins.

808
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: And that's it for matchup. That sounds like a it's

809
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: really a dart throw that I'll let you play the

810
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: dart throw on one of my matchups for That's that's

811
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: worth it, right? Yeah? Uh the email box has has

812
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: this question has come into our email box? I started

813
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: I started Garrett Wilson on Thursday. What should I do

814
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: to give myself a chance in my guillotine leads league?

815
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: Signed Paul Seen Paul, you know what to do, Paul

816
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: ce uh. He's gotta gotta go for the against the

817
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: green and guilloteam leagues. You pair a quarterback with a

818
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe even a quarterback with two wide receivers

819
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: to try a stack. He's gotta go for the higher

820
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: upside guys and not the safe place. No safety, man.

821
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: It's brutal. It's a brutal situation. When we come back

822
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: our number two three tough Questions, which is down to

823
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: two top questions, we already had one of our tough questions.

824
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: You'll get two top questions and meet back. You can

825
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: play along see if you can go to and oh

826
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: against our panel of experts. When Fantasy Football Weekly continue,

827
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchy

828
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. This is

829
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: a game we call two tough questions. Tough Question number two.

830
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: Already did Tough Question number one earlier in the show

831
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: about the weather. We encourage you to listen back to

832
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: that if you've missed any part of it, you can

833
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: do that with the podcast. By the way, Fantasy Football

834
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: Weekly available everywhere you get your podcasts. Tough Question Number two,

835
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: How much does the return of Khalil Herbert affect David

836
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: Montgomer Marie, A lot, a little, or none at all?

837
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: For this one, we begin with Brian Johnson. It's it's

838
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a little. It's it's a little

839
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: at minimum, because when they've both been playing, it's been

840
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: like a fifty fifty split, and Herbert is the better back,

841
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: or is on paper is the better back eye test

842
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: looks like the better back than David Montgomery. The only

843
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: reason that's definitely show. The only reason I'm not going

844
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: a lot is because Montgomery is a free agent after

845
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: this year, and I think the Bears really like Herbert,

846
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: so I think there's kind of gonna grind Montgomery into

847
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: the ground a little more than Herbert. So certainly some

848
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: costs are concerned. But I'm just gonna go with a

849
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: little and not a lot, just for that gut fuel. Okay, Scott,

850
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: how much does the return of Bears running back to

851
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: Lil Herbert affect David Montgomery? I do like that the

852
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: thought process there from Brian. I actually had it a

853
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: lot because I think he just it sounds like he's

854
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: fully healthy, sounds like he is ready to go practices

855
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: this week. He's ready to split work again. As Brian mentioned,

856
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: he was splitting work before and he did look like

857
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: the better back. The reason I say a lot is

858
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: because they get the Buffalo Bills this week and I

859
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: have bench grades on them both due to that split.

860
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: And if it's enough to put him on your fantasy

861
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: benches for this week and possibly be on your bench

862
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: again next week, it's a lot, and then he's no

863
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: longer a fantasy starting back. So that that was my

864
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: that was where I went with it. Okay, So your

865
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: official answer is a lot because I don't think he's

866
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: startable anymore. Objectively, Khalil Herbert is the better back. He

867
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: averages six yards per carry. Khalil Herbert ranks number one

868
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: in rushing efficiency by Next Gen Stats. He chips in

869
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: eighty yards per game. Those are all better metrics than

870
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Montgomery when they had a shared backfield. So how bad

871
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 1: is it for Monty? It's bad in shared games, David

872
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 1: Montgomery's yardage, touchdowns, and fantasy points dropped roughly in half.

873
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: Monty had four touchdowns in his four games without Herbert.

874
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns the entire rest of the year

875
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: with Herbert playing. Now Herbert comes in with fresh legs

876
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: in December, that's valuable. Herbert could bring some juice to

877
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: the running game that Monty can't. Now, I think Bryant's

878
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: Bryant's thinking there. I think there is a little bit

879
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: of validity to that there. You know, they could just

880
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: decide Herberts are running back to the future. We're just

881
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: gonna grind up Monty the rest of them and the

882
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: final meetingless games. But overall, this really materially changes the

883
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: output for David Montgomery. And the correct answer is a lot.

884
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: Tough question number three. But by the way, David Montgomery

885
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: didn't even top eighty yards in any of the game

886
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: eighty total yards in any of the games Herbert was out.

887
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: He did nothing to keep that job. Tough question number three,

888
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: it's the playoffs, So broadly, do you go with the

889
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: guys that got you here? Are you playing the matchups?

890
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Scott Fish. Yes to both. I mean

891
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: this is neither question. This is really a question of

892
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: how deep is your team and how many players do

893
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: you start. I mean, the deeper you are, the more

894
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna analyze the matchups, like if you're but if

895
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: you're here running through fugues right now, with all the

896
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: injuries and whatnot, you're probably started your best total lineup. Uh.

897
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: For me, it's it's really a combo. It's I guess

898
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: you say broadly, Um, so broadly, I guess I'm analyzing

899
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: the matchups, but it's mostly it's mostly the guys that

900
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: brought you there that because they're the ones performing right now. Brian,

901
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: it's the playoffs. Do you go with the guys that

902
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: got you here or do you play the matchups? When

903
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: when I think broadly when it comes to this question,

904
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: it's not including Christian McCaffrey, justin Jefferson, there's like eight

905
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: to ten guys like first rounders you're playing regardless of matchup,

906
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: whether or whatever next years first rounders. Yes, But but broadly,

907
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in the show, I said, you're benching

908
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. He probably helps you to the playoffs because

909
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: of matchup end conditions. So broadly, you gotta take a

910
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: good look at the matchups and of course injury injuries

911
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: weather in some cases. So broadly I will say, yeah,

912
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: you gotta analyze the matchups and what's going on in

913
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: the current week. I wrote this because I saw dozens

914
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: of tweets over the last week that say something to

915
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: the effect of, don't get cute with your playoff lineups.

916
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: Don't don't don't don't smart yourself how you live with

917
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: yourself all off season. If you don't start the guys

918
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: who got you here, that is crap. The NFL is

919
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: never static. It is a perpetually changing machine, with teams

920
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: and players constantly reinventing themselves, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

921
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: Players are always changing, defenses are always changing. The guys

922
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: who helped you get here might have been a locket

923
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Labor Day or Halloween or Thanksgiving or Arbor Day or

924
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: Columbus Day. That doesn't mean they are now. The track

925
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: record doesn't mean anything for this weekend. The track record

926
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: isn't gonna break a tackle, The track record isn't gonna

927
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: land a stiff, The track record isn't going to die

928
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: for a pylon. You have to be always looking at

929
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: all of the emergent trends that are happening to make

930
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: every single week unique, and that means playing the matchups.

931
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: A great example of a player in recent weeks who

932
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: has powered teams of the playoffs, most likely including last

933
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: week we scored three touchdowns. Was a Jones who had

934
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: an awful matchup on Thursday night, bad weather, and that

935
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: look at the lot. We talked earlier about the Lions

936
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: emerging run defense. They become arguably the best run defense

937
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL the last five or six weeks, and nobody,

938
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: if you don't account for that, you deserve the loss.

939
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: You're going to get back to the matchups. Brian Washington

940
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 1: taking on San Francisco. I loved this as a smash

941
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: spot for Brian Robinson last week another great example. I

942
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: got him on the bench, all right, So now this week,

943
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: what are you doing with him in a brutal matchup? Nothing?

944
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: Apparently the most brut of matchups were running backs against

945
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: the Niners. I got Robinson on the bench. San Francisco

946
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: was allowing fifty seven rushing yards per game to running backs,

947
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: just ninety one combo yards per game. They've surrendered five

948
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: total touchdowns of the position, and on the season, the

949
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: forty Niners have allowed two rushes of twenty plus yards.

950
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: Two that's crazy, obviously, so it's at Christmas, yeah, and

951
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: the Niners have given up two runs of more than

952
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: so Robinson on the bench. Clearly, Antonio Gibson on the bench.

953
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: I will give Terry McLaurin, Danny McClaren, and Johan Dotson

954
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: to see. Like most teams who have been up against

955
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: San Francisco all year, Washington will be forced to throw here.

956
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: And over the last five weeks, the forty Niners have

957
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: allowed the third most receptions and the fourth most yards

958
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: per game to wide receivers. Ten opposing wide receivers have

959
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: seen eight or more targets over that same span. So mclauren, Dotson,

960
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: I will give them a C grade. Logan Thomas definitely

961
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: not getting a C grade. He's on the bench. He's

962
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: had just two games where he's been worthy of a

963
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: start all season. You know, he was kind of like

964
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: a no, definitely not, and you're not starting Taylor Heineke.

965
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. Over to the forty nine side,

966
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, of course, is not on the bench. He

967
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: gets an A. It is a tough matchup for McCaffrey

968
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: on paper, as Washington is allowing the third fewst Combo

969
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: yards per game to running backs just one D and five.

970
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: That said, CMC is not like most backs, and over

971
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: the Commander's last two games, both against the Giants. By

972
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: the way, we talked to Pills on the show last

973
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: week it was Giants by Giants, say Kawan Barkley scored

974
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: in both of those games, and last week he topped

975
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: the hundred Comboy yards and McCaffrey can certainly do the

976
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: same on the room. I'm sorry. At home against Washington,

977
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, He's not gonna play, so he's obviously on

978
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: the bench, as is Brandon Auk just two catches and

979
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: each of Brock Purdy's two starts, and since week three,

980
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is the only wide receiver to top one

981
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards against the Commanders, So you can't trust aukre

982
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: I will trust George Kittle in the tight end waste end.

983
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: I'll give him a b. It's kind of a soft

984
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: bee here. The Commanders have been tough against tight ends

985
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: all seasons, surrendering surrendering the second fewest receptions and the

986
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: fewest yards of the position, but Washington has also allowed

987
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Washington. Washington is also only allowed three tight

988
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: end touchdowns, but two of them went to the very

989
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: comparable Dallas Goddard in separate games. Each time they faced

990
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles. So I think Kittle could replicate Goddard's success.

991
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: He gets a B. But and brock Bertie somewhat questionable.

992
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: I think he'll play, but you're not gonna start brock Purty.

993
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: It's a very tough matchup. The Commanders have three games

994
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: of tape on him, and we have we see where

995
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: first start rookies or young quarterbacks will get about three

996
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: games in and now defenses of God have figured out

997
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: what you cannon can't do, and they take away what

998
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: you do naturally. San Franz gonna play great defense and

999
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: just feed McCaffrey, Jordan Mason borderline. Take a chance on

1000
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: me player, but U he doesn't have. It's a tough right.

1001
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: I think that sys the match. I think I think

1002
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: he's more than decent. Honestly, Uh, Seattle takes on on

1003
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City. This is a weather game. Seven degrees only

1004
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: ten degree a ten mile per hour winds, but that's

1005
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: still ends up equilling an estimated kickoff of minus five

1006
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: degrees as wind chill. So it's a It is a

1007
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: chili game. But we're not panicking and I'm not changing

1008
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: grades really on anybody here. I already mentioned earlier. Marquis

1009
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: Goodwin might take a chance on the wide receiver, but

1010
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: also like DK Metcalf without lock, and he's gonna get

1011
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: a lot of looks in this game. Over the last

1012
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: five weeks, the Chiefs have allowed one and a half

1013
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to opposing wide Out's fifth most cornerback

1014
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: Joshua Williams has been dreadful over that span. Uh he's

1015
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most yards of any corner He's given

1016
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: up three scores. Rookie quarterback Trent mcduffe's improved a lot,

1017
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: but on the whole, there's a very plus matchup for

1018
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: Metcalf and the wind is not going to really be

1019
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: much of a factor. So I still like me Metcalf

1020
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: with a B grade in this game. Gino Smith comes

1021
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: in with a B grade. Here's say complete list of

1022
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who have failed to throw multiple touchdowns against the Chiefs,

1023
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: Malik Willis and Bryce Perkins. That's it. That is your

1024
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: list of quarterbacks who have not thrown multiple touchdowns. You're

1025
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna get two out of Gino Smith here. I believe

1026
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: if you take away two brutal matchups against the Niners,

1027
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: Gino Smith has been one of the league's most bankable

1028
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks. In his non Niners games, Smith averaging a

1029
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 1: very healthy two hundred seventy yards and two touchdowns per game.

1030
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: And he's gonna give you about that here. Back to

1031
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: Metcalf really quick. We gotta spite game alert. Chiefs selected

1032
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman ahead of TK met Metcalf decision. Listen to this.

1033
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: There are three other receivers Hiken for Metcalf, after Mikole Hardman,

1034
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: J J. Arthago, Whiteside, Paris Campbell, and Andy Isabella. Wow. Man,

1035
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: those guys have combined career for I don't know, maybe yards.

1036
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: I remember when when that that draft class. I remember

1037
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: you and I talking about d K bing R one

1038
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: or two in that draft class. I remember sitting in

1039
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: your little office talking about that, and then he got

1040
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: passed by all those guys. Apparently in the it was close. Drill,

1041
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: Oh it is gone, Drill. Oh my god, you can't

1042
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: draft d came out, But that was starting the heart

1043
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: of h Pick fifty six, fifty seven, Whiteside, fifty nine

1044
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: was Campbell, sixty two, Isabella sixty four was Metcalf. He

1045
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: was like bang bang bang bang bang. And now that

1046
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: wasn't the same draft where the Chiefs made the epic

1047
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: blunder of taking Clyde Edwards a layer. Jonathan Taylor was

1048
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: not the same draft that was the next year they

1049
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: made that blunder. All right, let's finish out the Seattle

1050
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: side of this with Kenneth Walker, by the way, banged up,

1051
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: so be sure to check double check his status. They

1052
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: elevated a couple of practice squad players late in a week,

1053
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: which adds to some of my concern on Kenneth Walker here,

1054
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: who has failed to top three point nine yards per

1055
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: carrying four of the last five games. He's failed to

1056
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: top forty seven rushing yard in four straight And to

1057
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: be clear, I still think Kenneth Walking is a very

1058
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: good player, but he's playing hurt in The offensive line

1059
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: is awful against the run, particularly or for the run.

1060
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City is a good run defense, much better than

1061
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: against the past. Though the sixth best in rushing yards

1062
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: allowed at only eighty per game, Chiefs give up plenty

1063
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: of aerial production, permitting the most receptions in the second

1064
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: most receiving yards. But the problem is Walker doesn't catch much,

1065
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: so you really can't rely on him to help you

1066
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: there I've only got the C grade on Kenneth Walker,

1067
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: and again be sure to check his injury status throughout

1068
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: this game. Let's go to the Kansas City side. Obviously,

1069
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey obvious as and there my

1070
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: number one ranked players at their respective positions. Let's talk

1071
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: about some of the other players we're looking to start.

1072
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: Jerrick McKinnon. Amazing call by Matt Harrison three shows Ago

1073
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: urging people to pick up and start Jerrick McKinnon and

1074
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: highlighting the series of easy matchups that he has so

1075
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: far feasted on. Over his last three games, He's averaging

1076
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: fourteen touches, almost half through the air. By the way

1077
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: of those routine hundred five yards and one point three

1078
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game, Jerick McKinnon, you should have no problem

1079
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: keeping it going against the Seahawks allowing both the fourth

1080
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: most rushing yards and the fourth most receiving yards to

1081
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: opposing backs. BE grade on Jerick McKinnon. B grade on

1082
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: Isaiah pa Jecko. Six straight games of double digit carries,

1083
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: averaging a stellar five point one yards per carry over

1084
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: that span. Excellent matchup against the Seahawks team allowing the

1085
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: fourth most rushing yards the third most touchdowns to opposing

1086
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: running backs and even worse lately over the last five games,

1087
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred seventy two rushing yards per game and

1088
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: almost two touchdowns per game to running backs. Both would

1089
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: be league worst over the course of the full season.

1090
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: Pacheco B grade. The only other starting grade and the

1091
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: only other player you care about, is Juju Smith Schuster.

1092
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: He has commanded double digit targets and back to back games,

1093
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: and he's averaged a respectable eighty one yards with one

1094
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: score in that span. Seattle's pass defense has been good

1095
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: all year and absolutely dominating against a series of backup

1096
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of late. Over the past three games, no receivers

1097
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: top forty eight yards, and only Shy Smith has scored

1098
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: against Seattle. Obviously, Patrick Mahomes is way better than those guys.

1099
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: Other than elite receivers the likes of Chris Godwin, Davante Adams,

1100
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, no white out, it's really getting much of

1101
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: anything done against Seattle, and Juju smiths User simply isn't

1102
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: at their level. So I've just got the C grade

1103
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: on Juju Smith Schuster. When we come back, another big

1104
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: block of matchups for you Buffalo taking on the Bills

1105
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: and a cold weather, windy game. Lots of injuries on

1106
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: the Bills side. We'll talk you through the offensively and

1107
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: defensively on the Bear side. I said, Bills on the

1108
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: Bear side. We'll talk to you through that game and

1109
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: what to expect when we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly.

1110
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly, a frigid Arctic semi Finals edition.

1111
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: The coldest of the many cold games will be in Chicago,

1112
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: with wind chill temperatures expected to be negative twenty two

1113
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: at kickoff in Chicago as Buffalo takes on the Chicago Bears. Scott,

1114
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Chicago's got all kinds of injuries offense and defense. What

1115
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: do you think of the Bills game plan here? You

1116
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: already told us you like Devin singletarry as you take

1117
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: a chance on me Runner. I have automatic as on

1118
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and stuff on Diggs. You're not benching them,

1119
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: but it's of a note. In the last two freezing

1120
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: temp games, Josh Allen has played nine touchdowns zero interceptions,

1121
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: which is a lot. It feels like a lot for

1122
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: a two game span. I believe one of those went

1123
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: to overtime, so that helps um so I just have

1124
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a grays on A grades on them, especially with how

1125
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: dinged up the Bear second areas. As you mentioned earlier

1126
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: when we were in that take a chance on me segment.

1127
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: I do have a C grade on Dawson Knox had

1128
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: a great game last week. Uh, and he's actually had

1129
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: a really good Fantasy day four of the last five

1130
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: games or Not bears the third best against the tight

1131
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: ends this year. However, Knocks has four plus catches and

1132
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: four of his last five and fifteen targets in just

1133
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: the last two games alone. He's getting a lot of

1134
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: volume there, so ce grade on him there. Um, I've

1135
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: mentioned all the bills already. Somehow it's amazing. Over to

1136
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: the other side, I think Justin Fields is automatic a

1137
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: at this point anyway, just with his rush, just with

1138
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: his rushing, even in this matchup now, he's posing too

1139
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: offensive line, including their best, so he has to run

1140
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: around the corner instead of up the middle. Maybe I

1141
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: don't I mean breakdowns on the line. I don't think

1142
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: really help anybody, you know. Obviously this capability is serves

1143
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: him better than many, but right and they'll be behind,

1144
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: he'll have to he'll have to throw. I understand the

1145
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: the hesitancy there. I still have an A grade on

1146
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: him cool comet. I have a C grade on three

1147
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: to five catches, basically a lock every week for him.

1148
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: He's he had a stretch in the middle of this

1149
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: season where he was scoring touchdowns at will, and then

1150
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: he was gone for a while. But for the last

1151
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: seven games, he's been in the forty yard three to

1152
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: five catch guy top seventy twice in just last five weeks. Uh,

1153
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: he's starting to produce. Their bills are fourth best against

1154
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: tight ends, but they are allowing about five for forty

1155
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: per game, which is what Connect gets, and Connect gets

1156
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: all of it. So uh, they have not allowed a

1157
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: touchdown to a tight end though since Thanksgiving night of

1158
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: last year. That's that's a stretch. That's a stretch you

1159
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: might not get the touchdown. You're not going to from that.

1160
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: As Matt mentioned last show, with those two linemen out

1161
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: as well, Montgomery and Herbert, I see too much of

1162
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: a split here. I mean they're there there if it

1163
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: was one back, if it was just Montgomery, if Herbert

1164
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: doesn't play, I mean he's averaging nine yards a game,

1165
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: taking eighteen touches, and sister did a lot with his

1166
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: eighteen touches. Slivan Aukman even got involved last week. Bam

1167
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Knight had seventy seven the week before, Stevenson seventy eight

1168
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the week before. All those on sixteen to eighteen touches,

1169
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: he might get ten to twelve, both of them splitting.

1170
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: So I have I have bench grades on both Montgomery

1171
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: and Herbert. There, I just can't start. I can't trust

1172
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: it until I know what Herbert's Herbert officially activated on Friday. Yeah,

1173
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: he's out. I give Montgomery a see though, Yes she

1174
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: doesn't play. Denver Broncos take on the Los Angeles Rams. Bryan,

1175
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you already mentioned Russell Wilson and Courtland Sutton, but there

1176
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: are a couple other Broncos that people are interested in playing.

1177
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: What about Jerry Judy. Yeah, we'll round out the passing

1178
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: attack first, which I do fuel will actually be an

1179
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: attack this week against the Rams, who are just again

1180
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: they are toasts. They are they well done, beyond cooked.

1181
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: I gotta be on Jerry Judy. Over his last five games,

1182
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: he's averaging seventy five yards and has scored four times.

1183
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: The Rams are allowing six yards per game to wide receiver.

1184
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: That's the tenth most, so I let the good times

1185
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: role for Jerry Judy, and I think there's gonna be

1186
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: some good times for the Tavius Murray as well had

1187
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: some concerns with a foot injury, but he says he's

1188
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: good to go. I expect him to play. Can give

1189
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: him a B. Had a monster game last week with

1190
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty two combo yards and a touchdown.

1191
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: The Rams what will remain without Aaron Donald. They're also

1192
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: on a short week after playing in Green Bay on

1193
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Monday night. L A allowing nine combo yards per games

1194
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. Yes, Marlon Mack will steal some touches.

1195
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: He did. He voltered a touchdown for Murray last week.

1196
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: He could ended up with two scores. But I like

1197
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Murray a lot. He gets a B and uh yeah, no,

1198
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: that's not it for I failed to mention Greg Dulcitch,

1199
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: who I have on the bench. Actually, uh, he's top

1200
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: three catches just once over the last four games with

1201
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. The Broncos have gone back to more of

1202
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: a of a tune at tight end and the Rams

1203
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: allowed just three and a half catches forty one yards

1204
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: per game too tight ends. So I got Dulcitch on

1205
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the bench and over the Ram side. Really not a

1206
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: lot to talk about here. Cam Akers the only player

1207
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: I'll give his starting grade two. If you're desperate. The

1208
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: softest of seas for cam Akers, you likely get around

1209
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: fifteen touches from him, which could be serviceable against the Broncos,

1210
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: who are allowing thirty six Comboy yards per game to

1211
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: running backs. But they have surrendered his eight total touchdowns

1212
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: at the position all seasons, So not a very high

1213
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: floor for Acres. But if you're if you're needi at

1214
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: running back, he does get the C grade. But all

1215
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: the all the Rams wide receivers, the ones that are

1216
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: left bench Tyler, he could be not a good matchup

1217
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: for him. He's on the bench, Baker Mayfield on the bench,

1218
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: the Rams. No team wants the season to end more

1219
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: than the Rams. Probably true. That is probably true. Eagles

1220
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: take on the Cowboys in a marquee matchup that would

1221
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: have meant a lot more if Dak Prescott hadn't thrown

1222
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: the game away last week. Let's start with Miles Sanders.

1223
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: In his last four games, Sanders has five rushing scores

1224
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: and two games with a one hundred forty three rushing

1225
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: guards or more. He Sanders has lost five rushing touchdowns

1226
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: to Jay Allen Hurts in that span, but now Jalen

1227
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: Hurts us out, so those rushing touchdowns can easily go

1228
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: to Sanders. In their Week six matchup between these teams,

1229
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: Sanders put up seventy one yards and a touchdown, and

1230
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: I think that's the minimum that he's going to get

1231
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: here against Dallas. He can improve on that here. In

1232
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: the last nine games, the Cowboys have allowed a running

1233
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: back to run for at least seventy two yards or

1234
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown in every game. So Miles Sanders a grade

1235
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: in this one where I can start any of the

1236
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: other depth running backs. Let's go to the passing game.

1237
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: A J. Brown obvious a play. I like that part

1238
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: for a lot for him. And where this thing gets

1239
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot trickier is with the return of Dallas Goddard.

1240
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk him through this. Minshew led Goddard to the

1241
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: best performance of his career in their one game together,

1242
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: throwing for six catches, one hundred six yards and two touchdowns,

1243
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: So the history suggests the Minshew will look to Goddard.

1244
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense hopes to play spoiler, though they allow

1245
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest yards and only one touchdown to tight

1246
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: ends this season, and that said linebacker Layton Vanders was

1247
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: having great season. He's gonna miss this game and that's

1248
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna force rookie Damon Clark onto the field. My only

1249
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: real fear for Dallas Goddard is perhaps a reduced snap

1250
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: count in his first game back. But that's it. So

1251
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: it would be at a grade. If you told me

1252
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna play the whole game. I'm giving him a

1253
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: B grade just to be cautious. Then what about Davonta Smith.

1254
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: He likely gets daggered here by Dallas Goddard's return. Smith

1255
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: was held to forty four or fewer yards in five

1256
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: of the six games before Goddard got hurt. That's the killer.

1257
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: The good news here, though, the Cowboys just benched their

1258
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: fifth string cornerback, Kelvin Joseph, and it looks like they're

1259
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna go to their sixth string cornerback, something called Nashon Wright,

1260
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: who has never started a game and he's played seventies

1261
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: seven coverage snaps in his life. So the matchup is

1262
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: still good enough for Davante Smith to earn a C

1263
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: grade and then there's Gardner Minshew himself. I've got an

1264
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: A B and a C grade on his receiving options,

1265
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: so I've got to be grade right in the middle

1266
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: for Gardner Minshew. Do you still have a little bit

1267
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: of love for Gardener? Gardner? Mishe because of all the

1268
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Chris Conley games you were able to correct, wasn't it.

1269
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,480
Speaker 1: I was on fire that year with my Chris Conley predictions.

1270
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh that was that was some excellent Thank yous. Ye

1271
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: we're going back. Minshew started one meaningful game last year

1272
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and a less meaningful week e Teaen game, but he

1273
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: performed well in both. He completely had two touchdowns in

1274
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: both games, completed eight percent of his passes in the

1275
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: meaningful game. Now, undoubtedly the Cowboys are gonna attack and

1276
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: rush Gardner Minshew. By the way, this is the number

1277
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: one pass rush defense against the number two pass rush

1278
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: defense in the league. Um, they're going to pressure him

1279
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: a ton. But the Dallas secondary is garbage outside of

1280
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dakes and as I mentioned, they're gonna be starting

1281
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: a six string cornerback in this game. I don't think

1282
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,040
Speaker 1: their safeties are any good. This matchup is filled with

1283
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: opportunities for Gardner Minshew to exploit B grade Gardner Minshew.

1284
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: The Jalen Hurts injury, in my opinion, one of the

1285
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: biggest injuries in fantasy football history considering how blindsided we

1286
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: are because he finished the game against the Bear and

1287
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: he was like, who knew? It's affected me a lot.

1288
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Remember he was my number two ranked quarterback coming into

1289
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: this year at the time. That was controversial. Tony Pollard

1290
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: and Zeke could be grades in this game. In the

1291
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: eight games when Pollard has handled at least twelve carries,

1292
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: you everre just ninety three yards and six scores, and

1293
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the twelve carries here, um, because the

1294
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: Eagles are very hard to throw upon. But the worry

1295
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: here for both Pollard and Zeke. Elephant Tyne rookie defensive

1296
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: tackle Jordan Davis has been awesome. Since Davis returned from

1297
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: injury three weeks ago, no back has top fifty three

1298
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: yards against them. Zeke has the advantage of goal line

1299
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: carries and as safe floor, and he's managed at least

1300
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: forty two yards in every game this year. So I've

1301
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: got B grades on both guys, but I contemplated C

1302
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: grades because of the Jordan Davis factor in this one.

1303
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the passing game next. Dak Prescott has

1304
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,440
Speaker 1: thrown some ugly interceptions, but mostly we don't get penalized

1305
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: too much for that. For fantasy use, Prescott has been

1306
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: a reliable starter, with touchdowns in every game and multiple

1307
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six of the past seven. But this is

1308
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,839
Speaker 1: Prescott's toughest matchup of the year. Dallas Is Outside receivers

1309
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: have brutal matchups against the league's best due of cornerbacks

1310
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that Darius Slay and James Bradberry, and I've only got

1311
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: a C grade on Dak Prescott in this game. Ceedee

1312
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Lamb gets a B grade. Philadelphia owns this guy. In

1313
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: five career games is high water mark is five catches

1314
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: for sixty eight yards, and in those five games, Ceedee

1315
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: Lamb has scored once. I think they're gonna he runs

1316
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: from the slot most often. He'll face cornerback Avante Maddox,

1317
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: who has now returned from injury, and he's very good.

1318
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: In eight games. Maddox is allowing is forty yards per

1319
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: game and is not allowed to touch down this year.

1320
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: Just the Beasts b great on Ceedee Lamb and this one.

1321
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: Um Michael Gallup and Noah Brown on the bench, and

1322
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: it's in the playoffs. They are spots starters anyway, and

1323
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 1: even in good matchups they're spots starters. We're not chasing

1324
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Noah Brown's touchdown from last week. Dalton salt Sheltz gets

1325
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: a C grade here. He's been an all or nothing

1326
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,759
Speaker 1: fantasy producer all year, exemplified by the last two weeks,

1327
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: a blow up game and then last week just two

1328
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: catches for fifteen yards. The Eagles tight end defense has

1329
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: been awesome since Week nine, allowing a paltry per game

1330
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 1: average of four catches thirty three yards and zero point

1331
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: one touchdowns per game. UM. I'll note that when these

1332
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: teams met last time, Dalton Schultz backup ended up with

1333
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:49,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown in that game. Ferguson, Jake Ferguson, uh and

1334
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz didn't play that game, So maybe you could

1335
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: use that as a glimmer of hope here. But I don't.

1336
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: I don't love this matchup. When we come back our

1337
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: final block of games, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and

1338
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, already told you I really like Tom

1339
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Brady in this game, Scott will tell you about which

1340
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,879
Speaker 1: receivers you can play when we come back to Fantasy

01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Final segment. Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and

Speaker 1: the X is. It's very very secretive, totally extreme. No,

1347
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: I've I've sort of told the story. T is my

1348
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: middle initial and X was my my confirmation name. If

1349
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: you're I didn't say not know this, I've not heard

1350
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,799
Speaker 1: this st and you were supposed to pick your confirmation

1351
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: name like based on this book of Saints. And I

1352
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: was a wise ass shocker right in seventh grade and

1353
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: I went with with Xavier because I was a Knicks

1354
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: fan and Xavier McDaniel players, and I went up in

1355
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: front of I went in front of the class and

1356
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: was like, and that's why. And I probably got whacked

1357
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: with a get the guns, hit you with the ruler

1358
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: at that point. But again, it wasn't private school, so

1359
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: they could I didn't go to Catholic school. It was

1360
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: just like a Sunday thing you had to do. But

1361
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: it was just kind of like my my screen name

1362
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: gamer tag whatever you want, and there you go. There's

1363
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: there's a history of on Twitter and and it is

1368
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: like a crypto company, but they don't have any money.

1369
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: They can't afford. My Twitter and on how much is

1370
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: doge coin worth these days? It's like seven cents, It's

1371
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 1: not seventy anymore. No, my not. Can you sell short

1372
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: on crypto? Does it work that way? It doesn't matter.

1373
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay takes on Arizona. Scott we already we liked.

1374
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: I love Tom Brady. I think Tom Brady sitting on

1375
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: a big game here. I mentioned Arizona maybe out four

1376
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks in this game. So which of the receiver's deal.

1377
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: I like Chris Godwin, who have an A grade on

1378
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 1: with A plus catches and three to last four uh

1379
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: six plus in all but one game since returning from

1380
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: injury in Week four. That's a that's a lot of

1381
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: volume team target leader. Renzowed target leader, which is crazy.

1382
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Despite missing two games, Cardinals are allowing US seventy three

1383
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: percent completion rate against them and Brady if he continues

1384
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: to throw at fifty plus times, that's like thirty five

1385
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: targets to spread around. Godwin's seen eight plus in ninth straight.

1386
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: A grade on him. Uh, you already mentioned Arizona defense.

1387
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 1: I don't need to go much into except they've allowed

1388
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: eight wide receiver touchdowns in the last five games prior

1389
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: to the bye, and two of those games, the ones

1390
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: where they shut down the quarterback and receiving options were

1391
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Brett Rippion. So the other teams there,

1392
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: they're they're letting it up. Uh. Mike Evans, I have

1393
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: a B grade on I know he hasn't scored since

1394
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: like six years ago. It feels like at this point,

1395
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: I know it's been like eight nine ten games, nine games,

1396
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: ten games, something like that. If you're going to build

1397
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: an all bus team, not counting injury, wide receiver him

1398
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: and him, Kamara, Kyle Pitts is the Russell Wilson's got hurt,

1399
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: so he's not allowed to be he was he was,

1400
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't meeting the charge, but he's a wide receivably

1401
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah. Mike Evans has been under sixty yards

1402
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: for five straight weeks until last week. He's he has

1403
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: average ten targets per game in that stretch, and he

1404
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 1: hasn't been scoring. I think regression comes this week and

1405
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: he finds positive regression and he gets he gets that

1406
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: B grade. He finally gets in the ends of shot guarantee.

1407
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: Another ends I'm not not gonna go that bold. It

1408
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: sounds like Julio Jones is going to play, and that

1409
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: makes Russell Gauge and Julio Jones not startable anymore. UM

1410
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: their borderline unusable when they both play. Uh, he has

1411
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: eight Uh. This is Russell Gauge had eight for eighty

1412
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: three and two scores last week on five red zone targets,

1413
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: but plays sixties of the snaps in every game without Jones.

1414
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: But when Jones is in, he takes the back seat

1415
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: to Jones. Uh in all those categories, and Jones does

1416
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: nothing with the volume he gets, So they're both on

1417
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the bench. Kate Doughton and uh. Cameron Braid is very

1418
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: annoying to me. The Cards given up ten tight end

1419
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. A tight end has seventy plus yards

1420
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: end or scored in eleven of their fourteen games. It's

1421
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: just a great spot. But they're splitting so much. Otten

1422
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: is the better pass catcher, but Braid has double the

1423
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: targets that Otten does in the last two weeks. Uh,

1424
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Odden snap count is higher. He's everything about it is.

1425
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Braid's Braid is doubly not in snackount snap count.

1426
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: Braid is just in there and is not getting enough work.

1427
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I have them both on the bench, but Otton is

1428
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 1: an interesting dart throw in a great matchup, is a

1429
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 1: better pass catcher. It's just really tough. I haven't both

1430
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: on the bench. Rashod White, I have a B grade

1431
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: on the Cards have allowed four running back touchdowns in

1432
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: just the last two weeks and allow the seventh most

1433
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: running backs on the year. Every fifteen touch back. Every

1434
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: single running back with fifteen touches against the Arizona Cardinals.

1435
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Excuse me, how to take a breath? Topped eighty yards

1436
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: and almost all of them scored. So it's good spot

1437
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: for Rashade White, who's getting that pretty much every week recently. Uh,

1438
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: He's he's hit that. We that mark four weeks in

1439
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: a row, far more efficient and effective than Leonard four Nett.

1440
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: They're both past great pass catchers. Rashad White was in college.

1441
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 1: That's that's what we thought the role would be. Four

1442
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: Nets taking it back in the last couple of weeks,

1443
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: which is really annoying, but it's just enough to give

1444
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Fournette the C grade. As a guy who gets double

1445
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 1: digit touches and four to six catches every week. Um,

1446
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: he's been leading in snaps two of the last three

1447
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,799
Speaker 1: that lock for ten plus touches in the past volume,

1448
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: I'm given him a see as well. On the other side,

1449
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: I have McSorley on the bench. I don't think I

1450
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: need to do to expand on pet trace. McSorley is

1451
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:14,919
Speaker 1: not gonna power. He's played three quarters and throwing three interceptions. UM. Anyway,

1452
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: I do have DeAndre Hopkins with a C grade. He's

1453
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: still managed to put up stats in both those games somehow.

1454
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: Last week he am asked three catches for twenty eight

1455
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: yards with mcs orlean, but he did have seven targets

1456
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: and one in the end zone and he got a

1457
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: target on the two point conversion. Like maybe there's something there.

1458
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: He's getting the volume for McSorley. He's barely barely startable. Um,

1459
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: but I still have a C grade like a really

1460
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 1: if he C grade dart throw grade grad yess on

1461
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins one of the receivers. No, but James Connor.

1462
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: I do have a B grade on Connor as nineteen

1463
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 1: plus touches in four of his last five, scored in

1464
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: all five games, averaging three catches in in that stretch.

1465
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 1: He's he's at QB issues, but he stayed consistent. His

1466
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: pass game work and likelihood to score should keep him

1467
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: head at a B as they lean on the ground

1468
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and to try to keep Brady off the field and

1469
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: try to keep Mixed story Lee from throwing the ball.

1470
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: Um of note, four backs have had sixteen or more

1471
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: touches on the bat on the bucks, which Connor should

1472
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: easily get. All top two hundred yards and all of

1473
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: them scored. So all four of them, I mean, it's

1474
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: just four, but be great on James Connor. Charges take

1475
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: on the colts Brian and Austin. You already mentioned h

1476
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly, as you take a chance on me running

1477
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: back Austin Ekeler thinks pretty obvious. More interesting this Charger's

1478
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,520
Speaker 1: passing game against what has been a very good Indianapolis

1479
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: past defense this year. Yeah, it's been pretty good at

1480
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: Ekeler easy a. You know, he really gets the Fonzie.

1481
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: You might as well fire it up. But um, I

1482
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: won't get into that over the passing game. Will give

1483
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams a B. Though the Colts

1484
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: have surrendered six wide receiver touchdowns over the last two

1485
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: game games and they could be without cornerbacks kennymore the

1486
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,600
Speaker 1: second and safety Brandon face On, so a B for

1487
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Allen and Williams. Josh Palmer I have on the bench,

1488
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: though as uh I have as do I have General

1489
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: Everett on the bench. That was not very properly worded.

1490
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Everett only ran twenty eight routes last week in the

1491
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: return of Donald param Our Boy. Donald parrm we ave

1492
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: him on this show, which was at least routes Everett

1493
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 1: has run since Week five, which was the last time

1494
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Donald Parham was healthy, So that's no coincidence in my mind.

1495
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: The Colts have also not allowed an opposing tight end

1496
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,799
Speaker 1: to top five catches or fifty eight yards all season,

1497
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 1: so Everett on the bench in week sixteen, but you're

1498
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: not gonna bench Justin Herbert the air Bear. Yeah, he

1499
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: hasn't throw a touchdown, I believe, in the last three weeks,

1500
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: but he does have three hunch of plus passing yards

1501
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: in three straight games. I'm still gonna give him the

1502
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: A here. I mentioned, uh, Colts could be without two

1503
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 1: key members of their secondary. They've also surrendered seven touchdown

1504
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: passes over their last two games, so I will give

1505
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: air Bear the A over to the Colts side. Not

1506
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: a ton to talk about here. We'll start at the

1507
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: running backs. Dion Jackson was your take a chance on

1508
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: me runner Church, and I'll also give Zack Moss a CEE. Uh.

1509
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: They should pretty much split the work here in a

1510
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 1: very good matchup. Jackson the preferred pass catching back most likely,

1511
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: but I still see for Moss against the Chargers, who

1512
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: have allowed these second most rushing touchdowns and the second

1513
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: most rushing yards to opposing running backs. And the only

1514
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: other Colt I will give a starting grade two is

1515
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. Canna give him a CEE Over the Chargers

1516
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: last four games. DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, and Tyree kill

1517
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: all had big games against l A. The one team

1518
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: that who was number one wide receiver failed to have

1519
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: a big game was Tennessee last year. But we're talking

1520
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Robert Woods or Racey McMath. Trey lan Berks was even playing,

1521
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,600
Speaker 1: So Pittman gets the CEA. It might have been a

1522
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: be if Matt Ryan was the quarterback, but he's been

1523
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: benched in favor of Nick Foles. So that's why just

1524
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 1: the see for pit been Folds on the bench of course,

1525
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: along with Alec Peters, Paris Campbell. All five tight ends

1526
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: on the Colts, I know so many of them all

1527
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: next year, it's just gonna be one Gillannie Woods the

1528
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: only tight end they're given gonna roster. By the way,

1529
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: I feel bad for by the way, Ryan, right, Kyle

1530
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: Grandson might not play. Remember the last time Kyle Grandson

1531
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: didn't play Gianni Woods touchdowns? Yeah, yeah, I hope that's

1532
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: the case. Here. There's a dart and Matt Ray did

1533
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: get a raw deal. He did not lose that Viking game.

1534
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: That was not on Matt Ryan at all, nor did

1535
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: he lose the Super Bowl against the Patriots. But that's

1536
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 1: always gonna be remembered. Four now is him? I think brutal, terrible?

1537
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: Uh Packers take on the Miami Dolphins in Miami. If

1538
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: this game had been in Green Bay, it had been

1539
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: played at a kickoff temperature of like negative three. So

1540
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: we dodged that bullet, I guess. So let's talk. Let's

1541
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: start with the running game. A J. Dillon and Aaron Jones.

1542
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon expected to play, by the way, did

1543
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: not finish last week's game, but should be available here. Um,

1544
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,719
Speaker 1: they're getting more work of late and I like both

1545
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: in this game, although it is a tough matchup. Week

1546
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: six was the last time a running back reached seventy

1547
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: rushing yards against Miami. That is a streak of eight games.

1548
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: But the Dolphins have given up nine scores to running

1549
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:15,480
Speaker 1: backs in that time, and that includes four receiving touchdowns

1550
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks alone. That tilts the scales

1551
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: here a little bit to Dylan. It's not receiving touch

1552
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: on those four total to three four touchdowns the last

1553
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: three weeks. It tells the scale to Dylan, who's got

1554
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: a three to one marginal carries over Jones. But I

1555
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: still got B grades on both guys. But it is

1556
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: an uphill matchup for both and we need some receptions.

1557
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:35,560
Speaker 1: I hate to interrupt this matchup, but I think we

1558
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: got some time. I'm just gonna go back to the

1559
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: Titans wide receivers that we talked about. Guess who led

1560
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: them in catches last week, Chris Conley, feel like one more.

1561
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, you missed the r on the opportunity.

1562
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Aaron Rodgers. Um I mentioned that Dylan

1563
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: and Jones are getting more of the work of late,

1564
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: and they're ratcheting down the work on Aaron Rodgers significantly.

1565
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: His downfield passing, which is the kind of passing fantasy

1566
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: players need, is becoming increasingly rare and increasingly inaccurate for

1567
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,759
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and the volume has dropped significantly, likely because

1568
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur is intentionally mitigating Rogers impact. Over the last month,

1569
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers attempts have dropped from thirty five per game down

1570
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: to just twenty seven. It is hard to find bankable

1571
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: fantasy success on twenty seven short passes, and that's what

1572
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers is giving you. Miami's past defense well prior to

1573
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: getting rocked by elite passers Josh Allen and Justin Herbert,

1574
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: the previous seven quarterbacks average of very modest two hundred

1575
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: seventeen yards and one and a half touchdowns, which is

1576
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 1: almost exactly what Rogers has averaged over the last month.

1577
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:47,560
Speaker 1: So that's what I think you're gonna get here. And

1578
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: that's just a C grade for Aaron Rodgers. The only

1579
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,919
Speaker 1: starting past catcher I've got for the Packers is Christian Watson,

1580
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 1: a touchdown dependent receiver on a team that's drowing less

1581
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: and less off and against the defense that doesn't give

1582
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: up many wide receiver scores over the last five weeks.

1583
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: Five weeks the Dolphins have a one score to a

1584
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver and only two receivers have topped six weeks.

1585
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 1: That's it. So I've only got the C grade on

1586
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: Christian Christian Watson. All the other past catchers are dead

1587
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: zero consistency from anybody, and particularly Alan Lazard, apparently battling

1588
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: leprosy because his arms may have well fallen off. They

1589
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: don't even throw to him anymore. It's very sad, it

1590
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: is It's very weird. It's going to the Miami side.

1591
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Is that what happens the lepers? I think it starts

1592
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: with I think it starts with the arms. Let's go

1593
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: to the run. Let's start with the running game where

1594
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: he most looks like he's salted away the starting job

1595
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: with a fantastic performance last week in a much tougher

1596
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: spot at Buffalo. Um, and Jeff Wilson not fully healthy.

1597
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: Let we're not even sure he's gonna play in this game.

1598
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: He'll face a Packers team allowing the third most yards

1599
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: per carry five five per game, five per carry plus.

1600
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,839
Speaker 1: You know I gotta believe that most and Mike McDaniel

1601
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: would love to duplicate what they did last time they

1602
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: played the Packers, a playoff game featuring two d twenty

1603
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: yards from Raheem mostly and four scores in that playoff game. UM,

1604
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: if Jeff Wilson does not go, we're gonna we're gonna

1605
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: move for he Moastard up to an A grade. Right now,

1606
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: he's sitting at a B grade under the assumption Jeff

1607
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: Wilson will be there. But Wilson shouldn't be a big

1608
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: factor in this game. UM, he hasn't top thirteen carries

1609
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: or thirty nine yards since before Thanksgiving. So just the

1610
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a bench grade on Wilson whether he

1611
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: plays or not. Let's go to the passing game to

1612
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: a Tungo Viola is a B grade. A somewhat had

1613
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: a somewhat better game last week in Buffalo, but I

1614
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,799
Speaker 1: don't play anybody who's nervous about him in a matchup

1615
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,640
Speaker 1: against an equally erratic and sometimes very good Green Bay secondary.

1616
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: The Packers shut down Baker Mayfield and Justin Field's passing,

1617
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 1: which we expect. Prior to that, they had allowed multiple

1618
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in six great games. I think two we

1619
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,640
Speaker 1: could get to two here be grade on too A.

1620
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills continues to get an A grade, and that

1621
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: probably doesn't require a lot of expansion here. He will

1622
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: match up a lot against j R. Alexander, who grades

1623
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: eleventh best among all cornerbacks by Profo Ball Focus, So

1624
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: it's not an easy matchup. But Tyreek's elite and you're

1625
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 1: still going to start him, and I'm still giving him

1626
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: an A grade. Jalen Wattle B grade. Outside cornerback Rasul

1627
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: Douglas has struggled lately. He's a lot of four touchdowns

1628
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: in his coverage, three of which have come in the

1629
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 1: last four games. Plus he's giving up a massive eighty

1630
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: two percent catch rate in that stretch. So Jalen Waddle

1631
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: finally reach Paydirt last week. I think he gets another

1632
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: solid game here, and I've got a B grade on

1633
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle. Uh. That about wraps it up. This is

1634
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: a big semi finals game, and next week we'll be

1635
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: talking to those playing for the championship and hopefully other

1636
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:54,200
