Speaker 1: and from fanball dot Com. My co host today are

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson in Scott Fish. Hello, gentlemen, what's going on charts?

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: It's a injury plague week four, That's what's going on.

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be one of those times, and we're

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna be recommending guys. We may not even talk about

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Sean him in Culkin and get him in your line up, right,

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: don't call him McCauley's cousin, though, no, it's not. I

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: just made that up. Well, I would believe it. Teams

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: are so thin right now that yeah, they call in

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: McCauley's cousin. Over the course of today, we're gonna break

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: down every matchup fantasy style. As always, we don't tell

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you which team will win, we tell you which players

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: will help your fantasy team win. You'll hear letter grades

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: on every meaningful fantasy player, and we like to give

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: you the rationale behind it. You know, Here's it's not

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: just that this guy's will be. Here's why he gets

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: a B grade. And you can decide if you want

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: to go along with us or not. Later on we'll

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: answer three tough questions. We will also give you nine

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: different players upon whom you can take a chance. These

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: are guys that are not normally uh startable, and in

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: many cases are on the waiver wire that you can

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: pick up and play this week. And we'll also jump

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: into a time machine to identify the players will be

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: looking for on the waiver wire this week that everybody

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: else is going to be trying to pick up next week.

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: But Blamo already on your roster. You already got him.

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: We we've established in earlier shows our time machine goes Blamo.

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: That's sound. That's the time machine sound. It's a very

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: futuristic sound. Blamo. Not really Um, it's like a batman,

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: like old school batman. Yeah. But when you try to

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: go pick these guys up and they're already in a roster,

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: it feels like a Batman, punch to the gut. Somebody

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: else has already beaten you to that guy. We begin

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: with our matchups. First, one out of the gate, Carolina

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: taking on Houston. Scott on the Carolina side, Kyle Allen

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: four touchdowns the last week, He's got six touchdowns and

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: two starts, no interceptions. A lot of people feel like

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: he might be the better of the two quarterbacks for

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: the Panthers. What do you think he does against Houston

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: this week? Well, he got a week seventeen matchup for

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: one of those, and he got Arizona's defense for the other.

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Helps is that is gonna help you look good? Uh?

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Mentioned last week when talking about Houston, this secondary has

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: an aging vet, a guy they picked up in free agency.

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Just you know after week one and a rookie. Uh,

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: it's it's actually still another decent matchup. The Texans are

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: allowing three hundred yards per game and multiple touchdowns in

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: two of the three games. I still have a B

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: grade on Kyle Allen. I think Houston's d can get

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: beat and they're not pressuring like they used to. Uh

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: remember when J. J. Watt was something other than just

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: a guy you saw on commercials. You know, I'll watch

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: whole games and his name will come up like two times,

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: and it's mostly because the announcers are gushing over how

63
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: great he is, and then the whole game I'm waiting

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: from to make a play. Yeah, we'll get to Derek

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Watt of l A the Chargers later. He's more relevant

66
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: WAT than JJ right now. And definitely yeah, James Watt

67
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: in the in the passing game the steam engin Wow.

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: I think that's he's more relevant deep diving right now. Uh.

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: D J. Moore, I'm not afraid. He only had two

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: targets last week, but he did have eight in the

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: game last year with Kyle Allen. I think it's just

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: what the defense gave them last week. I mentioned last

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: week how I thought Samuel's deep speed could get a

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: score and it did. Uh. This matchup I think is

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: a little better from or Um. I don't think that

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: first game means a whole lot. He's going to be

77
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: matched mostly on Lonnie Johnson making his third career start. Uh.

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: That should be a good day for more. I'm giving

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: him a B M. Also giving Samuel ob though as well.

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: I think he can beat Jonathan Joseph. Still good, but

81
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: he's he's getting up there. I think he could beat

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph. He grabbed five of his seven targets from

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: Alan last week. Allen has trust in him. I like

84
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: both of them with B grades. Olson, It's hard not

85
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: to love this resurgence. Yeah, I'm happy for the guy. Yeah,

86
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: I think we all, you know, we all wrote him

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: off as dead. But Greg Olson's back, Yeah, exactly, And

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: and Kyle Allen looking for him in the red zone

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: is nice. Seventy five yards two touchdowns last week, hundred

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: one week after a hundred ten yard game Arizona. Man, uh,

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: this is this is crazy that it's it's it's a

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: good matchup Houston is It's not a good matchup. Excuse me.

93
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Houston's top five. But this resurgence of Greg Olson is

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade just because Kyle Allen seems

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: to like him in the red zone. McCaffrey a grade.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: Euston could be the best defense in the world, and

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm still giving McCaffrey and a grade. He's he's he's

98
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: His upside is two hundred yards. Uh in a lot

99
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: of games, He's got a one eight yard game and

100
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: a two hundred yards exactly. Between those two was a

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: math outing. Yeah, And Christian McCaffrey gets all the running

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: back touches and Houston is giving up the second most

103
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: receptions and over a hundred thirty seven total yards per

104
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: game two running backs. So a grade for McCaffrey. On

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the other side, Watson, I'm giving him a B grade here.

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: He has eight total touchdowns in three ways three weeks,

107
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: including two with his legs. The most passing yards that

108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers have allowed is only this year is two

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: hundred eight and having allowed over two hundred fifty in

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the last eight games, and in that eight game stretch

111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: only three multi touchdown games. But I think, I think

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: that it's it's gonna turn up for Watson here. He's

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: he's a little too good to a lot of the

114
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced in that span weren't Deshaun Watson quality.

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give him a Can I give

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: him a B minus Himma be you're happy with the

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: beat the thirty seconds ago? Alright, I'll give him a

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: bank you Hopkins gets an A. He's going to get

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: a healthy Joseph Doseph James Bradberry, who is not as

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: good as Ramsey or Hayward Bradberry has had ups and

121
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: downs over his career, but Hopkins was able to catch

122
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: five plus passes on each of those other two guys.

123
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: He should be fine against Bradberry. Will Fuller I had

124
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: firmly on the bench, but he has seven targets in

125
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: each of the last two games. Dante Jackson should have

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: been a tough matchup for him because Dante Jackson can

127
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: run with will Fuller. Dante Jackson is likely out for

128
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: this one. This is one where you watch. If Dante

129
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Jackson doesn't play, Fuller can get in your line up

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: as a C grade. If he does, I'm benching. I

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: think he's more than a C grade and you know

132
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: you're waiting for you know, as we all know, it

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: only takes one catch for will Fuller of the long

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: one and um Dante Jackson himself has already given up

135
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, So even if he goes, I kind of

136
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: liked him in this matchup anyway. I like him more

137
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: than you stick him in any By the way, practically

138
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: ree and fan ball scoring for will Fuller. He could

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: be a very good DFS play. Stills in Q tier

140
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: are splitting the slot snaps. I'm keeping them on the

141
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: bench and hide after After eight point three yards per

142
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: carry in game one, he had three point three yards

143
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: per carry over the last two games. He was saved

144
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: by a touchdown last week. Caroline is middle of the pack.

145
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: They've allowed some good games to Brown, Gurley, Payton, Barbara,

146
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: Dave Johnson. So I'm good give him a C grade,

147
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: but I don't love it all right, that's the end

148
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: of that. Cincinnati taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's been

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: a dismal year for Joe Mixon. Without a doubt, it

150
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: looked a little better, I thought last week, offensive line

151
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: getting a little healthier. What do you think about him

152
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: against what's really a pretty good Pittsburgh run defense. Yeah,

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: well I don't They haven't been that good. They've allowed

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: the most totally yards of running backs per game at

155
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: a take take it, take that, But but you were right.

156
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Mixon has been a major dud. And even more concerning,

157
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: he was banged up earlier in the year, but he

158
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the field from more than the snaps

159
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: in any game that it's not bell cow status. It

160
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: is the injury else. But I'm bet not a bounce

161
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: back here from mixing. As I said a hundred nine

162
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: combo yards per game the Steelers are allowing to opposing

163
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: running backs. Uh. They've also allowed the third most catches

164
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: to running backs. Of course, Jio Bernard is a threat

165
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: in that category, which makes him a viable dart throw

166
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues. But I'm giving mixing and B He's

167
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back in this game, I hope as a

168
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Bengals fan. Moving over the receivers, Tyler Boyd gets a

169
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: b as well. Boyd is fourth and targets among all

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers and sets up nicely against the Steelers, who

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: have allowed at least one wide receiver touchdown in every game.

172
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Fellows a lot receivers. Julian Edelman, Tyler Lockett, and Dante

173
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: Pettis all fared well against Pittsburgh, and for what it's worth,

174
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: Boyd scored twice in his loan meeting with Pittsburgh last year.

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I do believe J. J J. Green was healthy, but still

176
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: but they have John Ross the Bengals do, but he

177
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: gets to see always a boom er Bus play. But

178
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm leaning boom in this one. Um. Pittsburgh has allowed

179
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: fifteen completions of twenty plus yards already that plays into

180
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: a nuts. That's a season for some secondaries. And uh,

181
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, Ross had two great weeks and last last

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: week he was shut down by trade as White understandably,

183
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: he's one of the better shadow corners in the league

184
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: these days. So I'm giving John Ross a CE. I

185
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: do have to mention Audentate only because he's six five

186
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: to thirty and looked pretty good last week eighty eight

187
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: yards against the Bills. But he's on the bench for now.

188
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: But we're watching I on audent Tate and Tyler Ifford

189
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: gets a seed to uh. This will be his first

190
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers since three years since he's facing

191
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Uh. He ran three times the pass routes

192
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: the cg USMA last week which was very encouraging and

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: will dis Lee George Kittle both good games. Disley had

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: a great game against the Steelers. So Iford is viable

195
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: with the Sea and that that gives Andy Dalton see

196
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: almost might take a chance on the runner up and

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: real quick multiple touchdown passes of his last three against Pittsburgh,

198
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: so he is viable, especially in two quarterback leagues over

199
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. James Conner another major disappointment at the running

200
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: back position. But this is a bounce back spot for

201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: him obviously, and since he he gets an easy A,

202
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: I won't even go into it. You're starting James Conner

203
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: with confidence this week finally, so he gets an A,

204
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: as does Juju uh Juju Smith Schuster. Of course, Bengals

205
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: might be without their starting nickel corner b W. Webb,

206
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: who's actually good at football, one of the rare players

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, which would leave Darius Phillips. Phillips

208
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and or Tony mccread a cover the slot. They are scrubs,

209
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: needless to say, so, easy A for Juju. Colt Beasley

210
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: caught eight balls out of the slot last week, so

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. For Juju and James Washington Deonte Johnson,

212
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I'll give them both the sea. The Bengals boundary corners

213
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: are struggling big time outside of Buffalo's white outs. William

214
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Jackson and Drake Kirkpatrick have allowed three touchdowns to white

215
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: I was already Deonte has out target Washington over the

216
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: last two weeks, so I would lean his way if

217
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: I had to pick one. But they're both dart throws

218
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: with the C grade as his vance McDonald if he plays,

219
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: he's questionable with the shoulder injury. Mike Tomlin says he's

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: optimistic he'll play dead. They traded for Nick Vannett, so

221
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: let's put it this way, it's a good matchup. He

222
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: gets to see if he plays since he has allowed

223
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards to at least the last two tight

224
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: ends they faced. One was rookie Dawson Knox, who actually

225
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown for Buffalo. But if you're banking on McDonald,

226
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: this is a Monday night game. By the way, No,

227
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: we don't leave it to Monday's night problem. I don't

228
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: know if I mentioned that yet, So you better add

229
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: Nick Vannette. If you're banking on Vans McDonald, you've gotta

230
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: be able to pivot without dropping without dropping McDonald, which

231
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: is a problem. And then, uh, you know I liked

232
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: uh including Juju of course. Uh so I give Mason

233
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Rudolph a see. I like a lot of the Pittsburgh

234
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: receiver looks so bad last year man a lot of

235
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: But but Juju bail him out right and catch I

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: know Juju go to bail himount twice in this game. Juice,

237
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: have a monster game. I hope you're right. He's a

238
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: he's a cheap DFS option on fanball and maybe a

239
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: QB two. Yeah Rudolph in super FLEXI leagues, but yeah,

240
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: he's really on the bench and standard Cleveland takes on Baltimore.

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Let's start on the Cleveland side where Nick Chubb gets

242
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: a B grade against a tough Baltimore defense. He's averaging

243
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty four carries and targets together, which is good. No

244
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: lack of volume here for Nick Chubb. But that's about

245
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: the only good news I've got for you. The Ravens

246
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: held David Johnson to fourteen yards earlier this year. Last week,

247
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams and Shawn McCoy were able to get a

248
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: lot done. They put up a hundred ninety total yards

249
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: between them. But the Chiefs are just such an outlier

250
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: offense it's hard to draw any comparisons to the Chiefs

251
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and then the Browns, so I don't know that even

252
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: matters here. Only one back it's top one hundred yards

253
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: against Baltimore in their last twenty seven games. One yard

254
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: rusher against Baltimore. Wow, that's it. Chubb ran for twenty

255
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: yards against Baltimore last year as the brown starter, So

256
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: we'll we'll put some up twenty and one hundred yards

257
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: in this one, and to be greater, we're really hoping

258
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: on a for a touchdown for Nick Chubb. Uh into

259
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: the passing game where I've only got a couple of

260
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: starters for you, Baker Mayfield with just a Sea grade,

261
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: he's got to be Fantasy Football's most disappointing quarterback right

262
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: Nobody else has better, Nobody has been more disappointed that

263
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland offense was. On my part, I thought, well, and

264
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: you and everybody else, Scott Um. Tough matchup on the

265
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: road in Baltimore. Yes, Patrick Mahomes humbled the Ravens last week,

266
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: but that's Patrick Mahomes and you know you can't compare

267
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: him to anybody else. Prior to the Chiefs game, the

268
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Ravens had allowed zero or one passing touchdown in seven

269
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: of the previous nine games. I think you're likely looking

270
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: at a one touchdown effort for Mayfield here, and then

271
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: it'll be great for Odell Beckham, who's getting tons of

272
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: targets thirty already. But get this, thirty targets nineteen receptions

273
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: for Odell Beckham. That's it that stinks, and it's some

274
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: of that's I think most of that is on Baker

275
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield just misfiring, which is crazy because he's such an

276
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: accurate quarter history right now. Um, worrying Lee? Is that

277
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: a word? Worrying Lee? Worrying Odell Backham has garnered one

278
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: red zone target this year one. He's been targeted thirty times,

279
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: only once in the red zone. Come on, Odell runs

280
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: from the outside where cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Anthony Averett Waite.

281
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland be wise to put Odell opposite Averett, who's yielded

282
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: ninety yards per game, that's fourth most among all cornerbacks.

283
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: And ever it's given up two scores already. That is

284
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: a winnable matchup for Odell, so he is a b start.

285
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry's on the bench. Two career touchdowns with Baker

286
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: Mayfield at the helm. That's it for Jarvis Landry and

287
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: he somehow turned twenty three targets into just ten catches

288
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: this year. Tough matchup against a good slock corner Brandon Carr,

289
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, you're on the bench. I dropped him in

290
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: the league. I don't blame you. Qualms. That was like

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sure people like, oh,

292
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, you sabotage dropped Jarvis Landry, other others picked

293
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: him up, probably started him in the getting nothing. Now listen,

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: all y'all, let's go to the Baltimore side. Mark Ingram

295
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: has been great and in two meetings with Cleveland last year,

296
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: the combined Ravens running backs two meetings. Let me, I'm

297
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna slow this down to make sure people get it.

298
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: Two meetings with Cleveland last year, the combined Ravens running

299
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: backs three hundred forty rushing yards. I'm struggling to remember

300
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: who they were, just running the guinea big shaver? Three?

301
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: Is that your is in there too? Did shave my

302
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: guinea pig? Here comes Ingram with his six yards per

303
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: carry almost two touchdowns per game, no brainer, A grade

304
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: for him. Lamar Jackson also in a grade. He faced

305
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland once last year and ran for ninety yards and

306
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Brown secondaries a wreck with injury. You're gonna

307
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: want to watch the status of Greedy Williams, Morgan Burnett,

308
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Denzil Award. They're all shaping up his game. Time Decisions

309
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: paid special attention to Greedy Williams and Denzil Award, the

310
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: fastest set of outside corners in probably the entire league.

311
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: If those guys do play, they can use their speed

312
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: to neutralize Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin. And if they

313
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: don't go, I really like Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin.

314
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: So let's talk about those guys. So for Markis Brown again,

315
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Greedy Williams Denzil a Ward if they're in. If they're

316
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: in the game, I got Marquis Brown at more like

317
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: a C level. If they're out of this game, then

318
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: I like Markus Brown at an A level against backup cornerbacks. Um.

319
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: And then also if they're out, Miles Boyken as a

320
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: dart throw makes sense. Mark Andrews still not practicing with

321
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: the foot injury, but should play here. He did say

322
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: today that he was very yeah um and the only

323
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: good tight end to face the Brown so far this year.

324
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker rocked him for two scores. Last thing, I'll mention,

325
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: you need a deep sleeper running back Gus Edwards getting

326
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: twenty two snaps and ten touches a game, and that

327
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: by might be enough to make Edwards a potential sleeper

328
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: against the Brown's team that they just ran through last year.

329
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: People need warm bodies at running back more than every

330
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: two now more than ever. J j I just said,

331
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: just announced all thirty two teams. He's ready to come back.

332
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: So what does that even mean? Announced to thirty two teams?

333
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: I tweeted an hour ago. Does that an announcement to

334
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: thirty two teams? It was? It was? I'm sure as

335
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: they didn't contacted them in the Giants will be in

336
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: touch show probably retweeted his own tweets saying that has

337
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: no likes on it. J I, by the way, stinks.

338
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't good before all the knee problems. I went

339
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: to bad for him. Fish certainly went to bed him.

340
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're done, right, I mean, yeah, alright, let's

341
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: let's just the best case scenario for j GI. He

342
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: ends up with the Giants and I'm still not very interested.

Speaker 1: who would not normally start, but guys you can start

351
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: this week. You're listening to Fantasy Football Weekly Fantasy Football

352
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: Weekly Returns courtesy of I Heart Radio. I am Paul

353
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Charchi and my Twitter account is at Paul Charchi in

354
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: which makes sense. Brian Johnson is at b t x J.

355
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Scott Fish is at Scott Fish twenty four. These are

356
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: nine players not normally in your starting lineup. We call

357
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: it take a chance on me. Many of these guys

358
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire, and it is a as always,

359
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: a very very royalty free version of take a chance

360
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: on me. When these guys pay out, you don't have

361
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: to pay us anything. You can keep all the money

362
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: in the royalty free version of take a chance on me.

363
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: We begin at the quarterback position. Brian, who you got?

364
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: I can sort of taste a little bit of vomit

365
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: coming up, but I'm still taking Marcus Mariota at Atlanta. Wow,

366
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons just suffered another huge loss to their defense.

367
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: Safety Kianu Neil tore his achilles for the second straight season,

368
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: sadly for him, and when he went down last year,

369
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: they got consistently shredded by anybody, especially when he went

370
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: down with the injury. The look on his face was

371
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: a look of recognition. I'm looking at him, going, he's

372
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: had this before, he knows exactly what this is. Yeah,

373
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him. They say it's like a

374
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: drape getting pulled up or something. I don't wanna think

375
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: about it, but anyway, that the trend started already. Jacoby

376
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Brissette went for three ten and two after Neil went down. Um.

377
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: The Falcons have also allowed two rushing touchdowns with quarterbacks

378
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: so far at the season. Mariota is third in rushing

379
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: yards among quarterbacks so far average six point four yards

380
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: per carry, and despite a couple of down weeks, I

381
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: think three total yards and two total touchdowns is safe

382
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: FLOORA not the highest second over under of the week. Wow, Yeah,

383
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: all right, let's go. I'd be even more impressed. You

384
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: who told people to go with Corey Davis remember when

385
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: he was a thing. All right, let's go with your quarterback, Scott.

386
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: I am going with Washington QB tv D TBD. It

387
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: sounds like keenum Is is back and ready to go. There.

388
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: They're saying he's going to get the start. Uh, so

389
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm letting him back up as my take a chance

390
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: on me. The Giants allowing three fifty yards passing and

391
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: three touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. As bad as

392
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Keenum has looked, he's still racked up multiple touchdowns in

393
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: every game in three and thirty or more yards and

394
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: two of those and uh, this isn't a ball hockey defense.

395
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: You worry about those turnovers with keenom Uh they only

396
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: intercepted Jamis Winston once. Which is which is? That's not

397
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: ball hockeying at all. Now, worry on Keenum is what

398
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: happens first drive or second drive? He throws a pick?

399
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: That might be it. That's your work. I mean your

400
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: upside is it's a Giant's defensive easily give up, you know,

401
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: four D and four downside His kingdom doesn't even finish

402
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: the game. I think he's going to be fined in

403
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: this way. And it sounds like Colt McCoy is ready

404
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: to go. Now, I love how about that? Um? The

405
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: aforementioned Jacoby Brissettes might take a chance on me quarterback

406
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: as he goes up against Oakland, coming up the best

407
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: game of his career. Last week, and that momentum should

408
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: carry forward against a wobbly Oakin's Oakland secondary even without

409
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: t Y. Hilton probably does not play in this one.

410
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't care. The Raiders are allowing a completion percentage

411
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: of that's eighth worse, and PRISCT has top seventy twice

412
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: in three games. Even without Hilton. Give me Paris Campbell.

413
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: I'll go to war with Paris Campbell, Chester Rogers and

414
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal as the Colts starting wide outs. If I

415
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: have to against Oakland that bad, Let's go to the

416
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: running back position. Brian, who you got? I got old, yeller?

417
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: T J. Yelden of Buffalo actually pretty young. He's only

418
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. But they're they're at home against

419
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: New England. So get this. Buffalo is three and oh

420
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: at home, seven point underdogs, of course, but it's for

421
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It should not be seven points that people.

422
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that matchup. They're they're playing a

423
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of points. But t J got uh. We're assuming

424
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: Devin's singletary is out, by the way. We'll talk more

425
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: about this game, but he is likely to not come

426
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: back this week. Even well, we'll talk about it. We'll

427
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: talk about it more in the matchup anyway, but even

428
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: if he does come back, it's a tough matchup. This

429
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: is a game script for for yelling without a doubt,

430
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: and it's been that way for Buffalo Backs against New

431
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: England for years. Last year, Buffalo Backs total thirteen catches

432
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: across two games, and uh, with the Patriots likely to

433
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: focus on stopping Allen's legs and John Brown speed, five

434
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: to six catches for Yelden should be a lot. He

435
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: had eight carries last week. Two catches. Um, I'm seeing

436
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: ten to twelve touches in PPR leagues. I'm playing him. Okay,

437
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: sounds good, you're running back, Scott. I'm going with Adrian Peterson.

438
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: He just got done facing three top ten defenses in

439
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: the Bears, Eagles, and Cowboys. Now he gets the Giants

440
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: defense that is bottom six, and they've allowed twenty six

441
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: Russia attempts, not touches Russia attempts per game and twenty

442
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: seven I believe in the three games. And they're starting

443
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: middle linebacker alic Ogle Tree out for this one. So

444
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: I think this is lining up for an actual Adrian

445
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Peterson decent game that you probably won't use it much

446
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. But here's the week

447
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: for us? Is it? If not now, when for Adrian Peterson. Seriously,

448
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: why if you're not starting him here? Why is he

449
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: on your rob bottom six D rush D without their

450
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. I was team Peyton Barber, um, and I

451
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: still kind of am team Peyton Barber. But I'm not

452
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: so stubborn that I won't acknowledge that Jones has got

453
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: just more work, more yards, more attempts, and mostly looked

454
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: better than Peyton Barber. It hurts um. Now there's a

455
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: little bit of caution here. Jones had who quality outings.

456
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: He's still only play like of the offensive snaps in

457
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: the games in which the two games in which Jones

458
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of carries. But I like the game

459
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: script here against the Rams, and the Rams are an

460
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: eleaite past defense, but they have allowed at least one

461
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards and or a touchdown to running back

462
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: in nine of the last twelve games. Obviously, going back

463
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: to last year, Jones got those two quality starts already.

464
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: This year, I'm gonna try him for one more and

465
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: now watch it's going to be the paper Peyton Barber

466
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: show of course, but I'll we'll try Ronald Jones in

467
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: this one. Unbowally pretty close, Gombo knows. All right, let's

468
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: go to the running sorry receiver wide receiver position. Well,

469
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: you said it's funny I didn't take Corey Davis. Um,

470
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: I am going to take a Titan receiver. But it's

471
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: not Davis Brown. It's Adam Humphreys actually, one of my

472
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: sleepers from the pre season two. By the way, very start, yeah,

473
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: very slow start last week. Brag about that six catches

474
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: on nine targets looked pretty good, and he's gonna look

475
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: good this week against Atlanta. And it's just it's all

476
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: about how this matchup lays out on paper. Here the

477
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: opposing slot receivers against the Falcons so far this year,

478
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: Adam Theeland three catches forty three yards in a touchdown

479
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: on just three targets. Remember the Vikings through the ball

480
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: ten times in that game. Uh, next week, Nelson Aglar

481
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: eight for one oh seven in a touchdown. All right

482
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: on ten targetsop missing to missing like every other receiver,

483
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: but still okay, Well, the Titans are missing receivers too.

484
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: They have Corey Davis and A. J. Brown on the outside,

485
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: so I have been last week fairly stated. Okay, last

486
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: week t Y Hilton and Zach Pascal both scored from

487
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: the slot, and overall, Colts receivers were eight for eight

488
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: for fifty nine yards and those two touchdowns. So Adam

489
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: Humphreys all day, All right, Scott, what was he to

490
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: take a chance for me? Receiver? I'm going with Will

491
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: dis Lee. This feels like cheating almost, because the Arizona

492
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals are just terrible against tight ends. T J. Hockenson

493
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: six for in his touchdown, Mark Andrews eight for one,

494
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: twelve in a touchdown, Greg Olson six for seventy five

495
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Hayden Hurst also scored. The Arizona Cardinals

496
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: are allowing most twice as many PPR Fantasy points as

497
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the second worst team against tight ends. That's unbelievable, insane,

498
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: how bad they are. I've got Marvin Jones going up

499
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. It's taken a while from Marvin Jones

500
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: get comfortable coming off of last year's knee injury, but

501
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: it looks like he's back on track and he's led

502
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: the team in targets, yards and air yards. Last week.

503
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: Juicy matchup with the Chiefs and they're prettily lousy. Secondary,

504
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: he goes up against or and or Chart various Ward

505
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: on the outside and both guys are slow. Now, Marvin

506
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: Jones is not like track Star speed fast, but his

507
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: whole deal has been downfield separation. That's the definition of

508
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: his career. He can get it here. He only needs

509
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: one long reception. The lines will be playing from behind,

510
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and Detroit's gonna be passing regularly. Kansas City seeing the

511
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: eighth most passes in the league. Marvin Jones, it was here,

512
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: take a chance to me guy last week? Or do

513
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: you just like him last week? Brian I wasn't on

514
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: the show. It was somebody else I was thinking member

515
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: of years ago. John Twovey used to be on the show.

516
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: That's four touchdowns listening back in those days. That was

517
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: the all time great take a chance on the hit

518
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: of all of the twenty five year history of the

519
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: show was the four touchdown game Jones had. Yeah with

520
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Of course back in the day, Uh was it?

521
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: Uh take Chargers taking on the Miami Dolphins. Scott for

522
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers. It's a lot of shifting stands here because

523
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: we have so many players that are out Hunter Henry's out,

524
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is out, Travis Benjamin is out, and Justin

525
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: Jackson is out. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy, but whatever

526
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: is left in there get in your lineups. The Dolphins

527
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: are thirty first against quarterbacks, against wide receivers ninth, most

528
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: passing yards allowed, the most touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks four

529
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: per game, which is unreal. Second, most wide receiver touchdowns

530
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: allow allowed. Oh, and the running game, most rushing attempts,

531
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: most rushing yards, second, most rushing touchdowns, the most receiving

532
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs, the most total yards allowed to

533
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: running backs. They're bad everywhere. Should be a top five

534
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: back without even trying this week with Justin Jackson, I

535
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: think I think they're going to try a lot. Actually,

536
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: so imagine you're the Chargers and you don't have You've

537
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: got Justin Jackson out, Melvin Gordon just joined the team,

538
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: and you know that Gordon is going to get a

539
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: fair amount of work going forward. We'll talk more about

540
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: in detail this minute. Why not just run for the

541
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: whole game. It's not even Rich Rivers, who doesn't have

542
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: an even starting receivers other than Keen exactly. I do

543
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: think you still give Keenan Allen in a grade here.

544
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: He got fifteen targets last week with Hunter Henry out,

545
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: so I think that, uh, I think that he's still

546
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: in a play. But it's all it's all Alan. There

547
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: are sneaky people trying to get Sean Culkin at tight

548
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: end because yeah, Troy, Yeah, Troymaine Pope, former Seahawk. I believe, uh,

549
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: he'll be backing up. Those are sneaky plays. It's probably

550
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: it's probably too cute, but a grades on the players

551
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: that you would play from the Chargers on the Miami side.

552
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Preston Williams, I'm giving a C grade. I kind of

553
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: want to give him a B grade, with Casey Hayward

554
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: possibly out as well. Uh, Preston Williams has twelve targets

555
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: in every single game he's played with Josh Rosen. How

556
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: about that? All of them? But he's fourth in the

557
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL and red zone targets and he's had double digit

558
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy points every single week in PPR. Last look, I've got,

559
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: I got started Williams in a bunch of leagues. Get

560
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: him do it here. That's it. You've probably heard us

561
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: talking about the Guillotine League, the hottest new format and

562
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: fantasy sports. Each week, the low scoring team gets cut

563
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: from the league and their entire roster goes to the

564
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: waiver wire and all the remaining teams get to bid

565
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: on those guys. It's awesome fun, and we're still creating

566
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues. You can join one or learn more by

00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Um. You normally start all

580
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: your all your patriots in pretty much every game, but

581
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: this one it feels like a trap to me at Buffalo.

582
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a damn fine past defense in particular. Tell

583
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: me who you think about the passing game for for

584
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: New England, Tom Brady, Edelman, Gordon, those guys. All right,

585
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: let's just start with Brady and I'll he's getting to

586
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: see and he's borderline benchable. I'd be looking. Also, I

587
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: think I like all of our take coom quarterbacks more

588
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: than Brady this week. Um, in his last four games

589
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, three touchdowns, four picks, two by the way,

590
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: and that secondary is probably better than it's been in

591
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: those previous four games. And um, Buffalo was held each

592
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback you just one passing touchdown this season, that said,

593
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: those were Sam Donald, Eli Manning and Andy Dalton. But

594
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: still over their last eighteen games, only one quarterback has

595
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: had a top ten finish against the Bills, going back

596
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: to last year, of course, and that was some guy

597
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: named Andrew Luck. You remember him, not even in the

598
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: league anyway, he used to play. Two touchdowns is the

599
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: absolute ceiling for Brady. And because it's seventeen of the

600
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: last nineteen quarterbacks to face the Bills zero or one touchdown,

601
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: So I'll give him a see because it's Tom Brady,

602
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: but again look elsewhere if if you can, I would

603
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: not fault you at all. Um to speak to his

604
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: receiver's real quick. Julian Edelman was knocked out a last

605
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: week's game with a chest injury. Returned to practice in

606
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: a limited fashion this week. You always got to expect

607
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots to play. It seems like none of them

608
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: are rarely ever scratched, So I'll give him a be

609
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: assuming he goes. He has scored or top two hundred

610
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: yards in three straight against Buffalo, and UH slot receivers

611
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: versus the Bills this year have fared pretty well. Jameson

612
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: Crowder at four team catches for nine yards, t J.

613
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: Jones of the Giants scored a touchdown, and Tyler Boyd

614
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: was serviceable with six for sixty seven last week. That's

615
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: the week. Part of the Bills secondary is the slot,

616
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: and I like Edelman better than any of the other receivers,

617
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: the strongest part of their secondary, possibly the strongest best

618
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: cornerback in the league. And yes, Jalen Ramsey, that does

619
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: include you. Is tradeabus White, who will be shadowing Josh

620
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Gordon all game long. Likely so Gordon, when on his game,

621
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: is nearly impossible to cover. So I'll give him a see,

622
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: but temper your expectations because your Davious White shuts people

623
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: down and he'll be all over Gordon all game. And

624
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Philip Dorset has caught five of Tom Brady's last nine

625
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: touchdown passes going back to last year's playoffs. But this

626
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: is a bench game for him. But he's a guy

627
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: who should be on roster. If he's out there on

628
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: your waiver wire, I would go grab him immediately. Uh Now,

629
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about the running backs. Unfortunately, we'll start with

630
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: the charges boy, Sony what have you dubbed Sony Michelle Church,

631
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: Sony walkman? When you average one yard per carry, you

632
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: are walking man. Well, he's walking the line of scrimmage

633
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: against anyone, against anyone not donning a Dolphins uniform. He's

634
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: averaging one yard per carry. Yeah, well but in two

635
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: out of three games one yard per carry. Come on,

636
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: Sony walkman. So he's on the bench. He's on the bench.

637
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a loud one rushing touchdown running backs this

638
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: year and that went to se Kwon Barkley when he

639
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: was healthy, obviously, and Buffalo held Levyon Bell and Jill

640
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: mix it under a combined three point eight yards per carry,

641
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: and you basically need a goal line plunging for Michelle

642
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: and I'm just not banking on that this week against Buffalo. Uh. Then,

643
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: over the running backs James White and Rex Burkhead, I'll

644
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: give them both a C and PPR. Burkhead, I'll give

645
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: him a SCENE standard too. He looks like the best

646
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: running back on the team. Uh. The Patriots lost fullback

647
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: James Devlin for the season, and they don't really have

648
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: a backup from what I've heard, so they're just not

649
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna roll with a fullback anymore. So that'll open up

650
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: more opportunities for White and Birkhead. Uh. Buffalo is allowed

651
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: to receiving touchdowns so far at running backs, and again,

652
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Burkehead looks better than White, so I would start him

653
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: over White in this game. Over to the Buffalo side,

654
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: not nearly as much to talk about here, so I'm

655
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: getting my notes in order. Uh. Uh. Well, Devin Singletary,

656
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: as we mentioned he won't play, were very unlikely to play.

657
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: Um that gives the puts Frank Gore at a C

658
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: grade if he If Singletary sits, The Patriots have allowed

659
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: rushing arts running backs all year. Actually, that's really bad.

660
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: That's including guys. James Lee changed my mi ben Yeah please,

661
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm benching gored. And that's why t J. Yelden was

662
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me running back through the air.

663
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: Through the air in PPR leagues and standard you're not

664
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna go there with Yelden only in PPR. And then

665
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: John Brown is on the bench. Stephan Gilmour maybe the

666
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league as well. We'll be shadowing Brown,

667
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench, and I'll give Josh Allen

668
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: to see just because um, the Patriots have allowed nearly

669
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: seven yards per carried running backs last year, which is

670
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: a league high. And there are I don't know, Allen's

671
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: the mobile quarterbacks. I'm gonna give him a seven though

672
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: he hasn't done much against New England. It's only been

673
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: one game and he hasn't played two Minnesota takes on

674
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bears. It's the league's number one rushing offense against

675
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: arguably the league's the best rushing defense. Something's got to give.

676
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: In the two Bears games last year with the Vikings,

677
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook fifty one total yards that's it, including twelve

678
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: yards at Soldier Field last year. But this is a

679
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: whole different Vikings offense that is dedicated to the run.

680
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: But doesn't matter when only one runner has topped fifty

681
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: five rushing yards at Soldier Field in two years, think

682
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: about that. Fifty five is not even a high water mark.

683
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's nothing. And only one runners top

684
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: fifty five and two years at Soldier Field, they have

685
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: allowed two rushing touchdowns in the last thirteen home games.

686
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: It's a brutal matchup for Dalvin Cook. I give him

687
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: a b out of respect for how the Vikings are

688
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: using him and the sheer volume I expect him to

689
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: have in this game. Kirk Cousins is on the bench.

690
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 1: Minnesota has the NFL's lowest volume passing game by a mile,

691
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: just twenty one passes per game. The next closest is

692
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: twenty eight. But the Bears see the third most pass

693
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: has been parks. They're so hard to run on, so

694
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: maybe volume won't be the problem here. What might be

695
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: the problem is that the Bears have the number one

696
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: pass rush by Pro Football Focus and the Vikings have

697
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: the thirty first ranked pass block by Pro Football Focus.

698
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: That's not good. There will not be a lot of

699
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: long passes for a Kirk to set up here because

700
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have time for them. It's gonna be

701
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: a lot of short stuff and that usually does not

702
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: help fantasy owners very much. Stefan Diggs just to see grade.

703
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: He runs seventy seven percent of his snaps on the outside,

704
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: so that gives him the toughest matchups on the field.

705
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: Prince of Mukamara and especially Kyle Fuller was really good.

706
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: Diggs has been very lightly targeted and as a one

707
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: catch game, a two catch game, and a three catch

708
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: game so far this year, and that's it. Um. Even

709
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: with an uptick and targets, it might not matter considering

710
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller is going to be on him for a

711
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of this one. Adam theland works the slot and

712
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: if the Vikings have any sense, they're gonna they're gonna

713
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 1: run a buster screen in the slot, especially with Chad

714
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: beebe normally their normal slot receiver out. I really I

715
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: like feeling, and they should use feeling copiously here. I've

716
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: got to be grade on him because he's got Like

717
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: I said, he draws the easiest matchup there is on

718
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: the field against the Bears buster screen. Kyle Rodolph is

719
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: on the bench. He'll continue to stay in block because

720
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have to hear. The Chicago Bears

721
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: have got awesome ed rusher, and I think that's going

722
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: to force Rudolph to stay back at the line of

723
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: scrimmage for most of this game. On the Bear side,

724
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: I've only got two starters for you. We start with

725
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: David Montgomery. Now, there is some good news here for Montgomery. Owners.

726
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: He got thirteen of Chicago's eighteen running back carries last week,

727
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: so he's he's starting to get the majority of the work.

728
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: His yards per carrys increase in every game, and he

729
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: ran for five yards per carry last week against a

730
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: terrible Washington defense. The Vikings are normally an elite level

731
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: run defense, but this year they've been softer. Aaron Jones

732
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: put up a good game two weeks ago. They're giving

733
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: up four and a half yards per carry and that's

734
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: just middle of the NFL. So David Montgomery could get

735
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: a little something done. He's got a C grade here,

736
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: as does Alan Robinson, averaging nine targets per game, so

737
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: the volume is there. Unfortunately, it'smitched true Bisk Trabisky dealing

738
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: those that volume. But nevertheless, hopefully get a little something

739
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: done here. Robinson has struggled in this divisional matchup in

740
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: the past, just two catches and twenty eight yards and

741
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: the two meetings last year. He'll get a lot of

742
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: Xavier roads. But maybe through just volume, Allen Robins can

743
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: get a little something done here. C grade on him.

744
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: I've got Drabinsky on the bench. You know, he's an

745
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: easily flustered quarterback going up against the Mike Zimmer defense.

746
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: Bad things are gonna happen here. And he only put

747
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: up a hundred sixty five yards and a hundred sixty

748
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: three yards against Minnesota last year, just one passing touchdown

749
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: between the two matchups. Taylor Gabriel's hurt, don't chase his

750
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: his touchdowns from last week, and he draws Trey Waynes

751
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: and his speed versus speed matchup if he does play.

752
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: And then Tariko and Vikings about one running back touchdown

753
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: in the last eleven games. Only one has top thirty

754
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: four yards in their last eleven games. Bad matchup for

755
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,959
Speaker 1: Tarik Cohen as well. We're not gonna We're not gonna

756
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: try rolling the dice on that one. I've seen cohing

757
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: on some waiver wires already. I don't I don't blame him.

758
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: He runs you for nothing, he gets you nothing on

759
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: the ground, and then you just gotta hope that you

760
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: get something, you know, work, that you can work with

761
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: through the air. Final matchup of the segment Scott Washington

762
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: taking on the Giants, two of the worst d offences

763
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL facing each other here right the case.

764
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: Keenom was one of my take a chance on me players,

765
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: and so is Adrian Peterson. So let's stay left. Yeah, exactly.

766
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: At the run game, I don't think we have Chris

767
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: Thompson left. He's on the bench under ten Ton touches

768
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: a game and I said, I think it's a Peterson game. Uh.

769
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: In the passing game, it sounds like Terry McLaren is

770
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna go. He did not pack to practice Friday. Reports

771
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: are it was precautionary. If he does go, I like

772
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: him in this one. Obviously. It's a great matchup. He

773
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: has touchdowns in three straight, sixty two or more yards

774
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: in three straight. Five catches are more in three straight.

775
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: The only team worse than Washington against wide receiver is

776
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: the Giants, who he's playing against. So what do you

777
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: think about like the depth receiver is Paul rich Does

778
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Tray Quinn interest you in this one? This? This is

779
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: my what if scenarios. I have Richardson with a C.

780
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: He's scored in two straight uh. Second, the team and

781
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: reception snaps, et cetera. I have him with a C grade.

782
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: If McLaren doesn't go. Uh. If McClaren does go, If

783
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't go, I'm starting both Richardson and Quinn. Quinn

784
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: will be against Grant Haley, who's allowing seventy seven percent

785
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: of his of his passes that direction to be caught

786
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns are allowed already in three games. Unbelievable.

787
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: That's a good matchup, most from Trey Quinn. Most quarterbacks

788
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: a cornerbacks in the NFL give up four touchdowns all year. Yeah,

789
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: Grant Haley's given up four in three games. Yep, exactly. Uh.

790
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: Quinn's second targets h third in reception. I mean he's startable.

791
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: If McLaren doesn't go, I'd be a little more hesitantive

792
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: if McLaren does go. On the other side. On the

793
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: other side, there we got Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes. I

794
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: think he's very startable. Again here a grade. He was

795
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: almost my take home last week, but he wasn't in

796
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: my matchup, so I didn't do him. Maybe actually I

797
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: think Matt did last week. Daniel Jones A grade here.

798
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: It's it's already a great matchup. The Washington's allowed three

799
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: straight quarterbacks to throw three touchdown passes or more, and

800
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: two of those top three hundred yards Dac even at

801
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards rushing against them, and Danny can and

802
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: he can run Shepherd. I like sterling Shepherds and as

803
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: an A grade here to Washington's already allowed eight wide

804
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns in three weeks UM. He's had at least

805
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: six receptions and at least seven targets in each of

806
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: the two games played snaps in both last week his

807
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: only week with Daniel Jones hundred yards and a touchdown UM.

808
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: And he's gonna be matched up against a seventh round

809
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: rookie Jimmy Morland, who has allowed eleven of the twelve

810
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: passes his way to be completed. So that's a good

811
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: matchup there for Sterling Shepherd UH. Evan Ingram A grade uh.

812
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: Washington has been stingy against tight ends over the last

813
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: year and a half or so. But the two tight

814
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: ends that have actually performed against them, Evan Ingram and

815
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: zach Ertz. Yes. So, based on what Evan Ingram has

816
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: done this year so far, averaging ten targets game, eight

817
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: catches a game, what he did last week with Danny Dimes,

818
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: I'm still giving him an A grade. I have a

819
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: C grade on Gallman just on volume. I don't think

820
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: he's very good. He hasn't been very good mobile quarterbacks

821
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: can open it up a little bit for running backs.

822
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm only giving him a secret because he might get

823
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: touches sell at all costs if he has a good game. Anyone,

824
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: this might be one with the slight hint of being

825
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: a sucker in your league, So go into them. Yeah,

826
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: I think you're I think you're onto something with that. Um.

827
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: The Thursday night game, Jordan's Howard with the big three

828
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: touchdown explosion and honestly look pretty good for a lot

829
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: of that game. And Sanders looked pretty good too. Um,

830
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: but do you think that this is a sell high

831
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: moment for Jordan's Howard or you're just happy you got him? Oh?

832
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: I'd so high, absolutely so high, sell high in this one. Yeah. Yeah,

833
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: if he's obviously not gonna get three, probably get three

834
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: in a game all year. You you you seek out

835
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: the Miles Sanders owner because he's panicking right now. Yeah,

836
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: that's your best chance to sell. Howard High is finding

837
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: the Sander's owner who's freaking out. I like that angle.

838
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of questions we've got coming up next.

839
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: When we answer three tough questions, you can play along.

840
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: Try to go a perfect three and oh against our

841
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: panel of experts. Can you go three and oh? Fantasy

842
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: Football Weekly returns you. It is Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

843
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: Paul charch In fanball dot com, Scott Fish and Brian

844
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: Johnson with me. Boys. It's time to get into the

845
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: grinder with three tough questions listeners. You can play along

846
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: see if you can go three and oh. I'll dole

847
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: out the questions they'll try to answer. I'll give the

848
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: correct answers, beginning with tough question number one. Carry On.

849
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: Johnson is getting plenty of use, but not necessarily a

850
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: lot of results going forward. Is he an RB one

851
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: and r B two flex or bench player? Brian? Uh? Well,

852
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: let's just talk about carry on. He is currently around

853
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: RB twenty four most formats, which puts him in flex territory,

854
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: but the usage suggests otherwise. He's ninth and carries among

855
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: all running backs, which is very encouraging. He also leads

856
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: Detroit running backs and catches and receiving yards. He also

857
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: scored or receiving touchdown. The team recently cuts C. J. Anderson,

858
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: he's long gone. Ty Johnson will factor in on third

859
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: down and spell him every now and again. But we

860
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: all know Darryl Bevil loves a pound the rock. You've

861
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 1: preached that all summer charts, and Detroit is hovering around

862
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: thirty rush attempts per game and nine and a half

863
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine and a half, and they do have some

864
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: plus matchups coming up. Shootout on the Horizon with the

865
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: Chiefs of this week, they get Green Bay, uh next week.

866
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard just blomped a hat trick on the on

867
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,479
Speaker 1: the Paths. Then the Vikings that's a tough matchup, of course,

868
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: and then the Giants in Oakland. So right there, that's

869
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: like a good enough stretch to finish as a flex

870
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: player and not play any more games for the rest

871
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: of the year. Of course, there'll be Chicago sprinkled in

872
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: twice and the Vikings again. But long story short, the

873
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: usage should stay consistent if he stays healthy. I'm going

874
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: RB two. Okay, I'm also going RB two. His snaps

875
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: went from the mid fifties until this release of c

876
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: J Anderson, when it went up to seventy percent of

877
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 1: the snaps played. He also had six team point five

878
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: touches per game without c J. Twenty one. Last week

879
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: he didn't do a lot of with it, but it

880
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: was against a very good Eagles run defense who haven't

881
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: allowed a runner over forty five rushing yards this season.

882
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: If the twenty touch thing continues, he's easily going to

883
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: be an RB two. So RB two is your answers,

884
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: all right? You guys hit on some of the salient points,

885
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: but not all of them. Did You always faced more

886
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: eight man boxes than any runner, And I think he's

887
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: been as much as anything, the victim of the schedule.

888
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: All four of the Lions opponents, including this week, the

889
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs are particularly weak against the asked. I mean, the

890
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: way you beat all four of the opponents they've had

891
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: is you throw the ball on them first and foremost.

892
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: And so I think of time, we're gonna see the

893
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: game plans swing more his way with better opportunities for

894
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: the running game. Keep in mind Carrie and Johnson average

895
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: five yards per carry is a rookie. He's a good

896
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: runner who just hasn't had breaks with the schedule, the

897
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: game mix, the way things have gone so far, and

898
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: with c J. Anderson out of the mix. To Brian's

899
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: point earlier, and these incredibly easy matchups, he's going to

900
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: get an A grade almost every week for the next

901
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: six weeks. It's gonna be an RB one level starting

902
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: status for Carrie on Johnson, keeping the faith, Keeping the faith.

903
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: Tough question number two, Sony Walkman Michelle averaging one yard

904
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: per carry in two of his three games going forward.

905
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: Is Walkman and RB one and r B two a

906
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: flex or a bench player? Scott, This might be a

907
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: little contraining, but I might be going all the way

908
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: to bench. I hate doing the New England backfield thing anyway,

909
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: but this performance has been just bad. I know that

910
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: on Friday Bill Belichick gave him like a little vote

911
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: of confidence and spoke nicely about him. He's doing what

912
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: we asked him to, etcetera. But even with Devlin on

913
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: I R and Burkehead questionable, uh Burkehead and James wed

914
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: are both just better at both ends of the game

915
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,959
Speaker 1: right now. And they did draft Damien Harris, who hasn't

916
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: gotten an opportunity yet. I don't want to predict this

917
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: offense at all, and I think that fantasy wise, it's

918
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: going to be very split going forward. He he's going

919
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: to be tough to figure out. I think he's a

920
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: bench player, all right, She's Scott Sony Walkman. Michelle's a

921
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: bench how about you you? We call him Benjaman I

922
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: guess because I got him on the bench too. And

923
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: you're like, well, we still play Miami one more time, right, Yeah,

924
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: you will in week seventeen. Sorry, you don't even get

925
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: that game, Sony owners. I don't have much else to

926
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: add other than New England already has a two devastating

927
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: blows to their offensive line. They're starting center and right tackle,

928
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: I believe already on I R And uh, you know,

929
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: it's just always been a muddled mess. I mean, Brandon

930
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: Bolding is still actually a thing in New England to

931
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: you just can never I believe so getting special teams Ace,

932
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 1: I know that's his bit, but and uh, I mean

933
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: Rex Burkehead just looks better and the only thing that

934
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: might be going in Michelle's favor is Burkehead has only

935
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: played eighteen games over the last two seasons, hasn't proved

936
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: to be entirely durable. But no one's rooting for injury there.

937
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: But no, he's not the best running back on the team.

938
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: So he's just a bench player. Don't even worry about

939
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: him every week. You don't want to put yourself through that.

940
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: Just put on the bench, you'll be fine. Um. So,

941
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: his lack of productivity for Sony Walkman Michelle has been masked.

942
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: Fantasy productivity has been masked, I think, and the NFL

943
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: productive has been masked by the two touchdowns for fantasy owners, right,

944
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: so the two touchdowns give you this false sense that

945
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: Michelle's okay. Clearly he's not. Um. In fact, without those

946
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, I ran some I ran some estimates about

947
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: where his scoring would be minus the two touches. In

948
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: this picture, he'd be a calculator the whole deal. He'd

949
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: be running back. Yeah, it's pretty bad, it's really bad. Look,

950
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: he just doesn't pass the eye test, Sony Michelle slow,

951
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: he's tentative the offensive lines of wreck. As you guys mentioned,

952
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: you know, fortunately he's bailed out by those awesome pass

953
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: catching ability. Oh he doesn't. He doesn't catch any passes either.

954
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: Harris is better. This is where I was ready to

955
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: give him the bench grade. But then there's the schedule.

956
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: The after Buffalo this week you get Washington and the Giants.

957
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: Are you seriously telling me against Washington or the Giants?

958
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: A guy who gets the vast majority of the carreys,

959
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of the goal line stuff and

960
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: virtually all the goal line carrys is not going to

961
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: get a starters grade. He is and he there's this,

962
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't fumble. He's on the field of ton or

963
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: at least so far, he hasn't been benched yet. Frankly,

964
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: I would bench him, but I don't think Belichick's ready

965
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: to yet, and because he's going to have starting grades

966
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: over the course of the better part of the next month.

967
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: Sony Walkman Michelle is a flex player. Tough Question number

968
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: three with Melvin Gordon back. Going forward is Austin Ekeler

969
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: and RB one and r B two a flex or bench.

970
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 1: You may have noticed a theme riding through this particular

971
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: edition of Three Tough Questions. Brian is Austin Ekeler and

972
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: RB one r B two flex or bench. This is

973
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: a very tough question, UM, real quick Equitler snaps have

974
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: gone down as the season is started, by the way

975
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: seventy three to sixty five. That was already discouraging before

976
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: the Melvin Gordon news that he's coming back. So Gordon's

977
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: coming back, as we all know, not this week or

978
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: it could be this week, but more about this game.

979
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: But it will be a very limited role, of course,

980
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: but you'd have to assume it's gonna be two to

981
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: three weeks before Gordon gets up to full speed, if ever,

982
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean missing training camp is not an ideal scenario

983
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: for any any football player. UM. After this week against Miami,

984
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: Equita could put up enough points to a finishes of

985
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: flex without playing any more games too. But uh, let's

986
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: just look at last year in the games Gordon and

987
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: Ekela were both active. Gordon was about seventy the snap

988
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: share Ekeler was, and Ekeler was he was a flex

989
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: play a lot of weeks back then. The Chargers had

990
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams, they had Antonio Gates, the didn't have Hunter

991
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: Henry Um. But they're just short on playmakers, way more

992
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: short than they were last year. So I think Ekeler

993
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: will find its way on the field a lot more

994
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: with the injuries to wide receiver. Mike Williams is consistently

995
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: banged up. So I'm gonna say he maintains flex. He's

996
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna be RB two for a while, RB one to

997
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: RB two then too a plateau of flex. So I'm

998
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: just gonna say flex. Okay, all right, Scott, I also

999
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: went with flex. Uh. Melvin Gordon has a very extreme

1000
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: history of game injured near the end of the season. Now,

1001
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the short season, maybe this short season will

1002
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: aid that, or maybe he will not be in quite

1003
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: the same shape and it'll hurt it and he'll get

1004
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: injured again. But his points already, you're getting him up

1005
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: in that area. I think he's still going to take snaps.

1006
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: But here's my main concern with having Ekeler any higher.

1007
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: I think they run the wheels off Cordon now because

1008
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: they they're not going to keep him later. That's that's

1009
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: my thought process. So I'm hesitant to even say flex.

1010
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, you get him for one more RB one week,

1011
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna be rough going the rest of

1012
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: the season. You, my friend, have cracked the code. You're

1013
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: exactly right. Gordon is going to be a free agent

1014
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. Chargers, No, they're not

1015
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: bringing him back. They are gonna run him into the ground.

1016
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: He's going to get the DeMarco Murray treatment. Remember when

1017
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray was charging every agency with Dallas. Dallas ran

1018
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: him into the ground and sent him packing. That's what's

1019
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: gonna happen here with Melvin Gordon. Um Austin Ekeler. Look

1020
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 1: and as as the number one back, he's been great,

1021
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: but that's not gonna matter here. Melvin Gordon's gonna take

1022
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: over the number one back and then he's gonna be great.

1023
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 1: I believe that we are going to see Austin Ekeler

1024
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: as no more than a flex play the rest of

1025
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: the year, which is sad for his owners. OPI enjoyed

1026
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: it all lasted. You've got four great games out of

1027
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. You're gonna get one coming this weekend, and

1028
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: after that it's kind of over. At the price you

1029
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: got him, you're happy. Yeah, I think you're right. He's

1030
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: probably powered you to three and oh or two and

1031
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: one right now because Zekeler was so good just with

1032
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: that alone. So do you go to the owner in

1033
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: your league that's oh and three and they just have

1034
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: to win, and you just say, hey, here's Austin. You

1035
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: the win. It's a great strategy. It is. I'm giving

1036
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: you the win. You need to have a prayer at

1037
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so give me somebody good. Yeah, try to

1038
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: sell him before this game. That's it agreed. If we

1039
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: have time at the end of the show, I'm gonna

1040
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: ask you guys about some strategies on Sae Kwon Barkley

1041
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: and what to do with him if you're if you're

1042
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: thinking about trade, if you've got him and you need

1043
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: to get rid of him, or if you were thinking

1044
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: about acquiring him. Brian, let's turn to the Tennessee matchup.

1045
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: You already told us that you kind of like out.

1046
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: You like some elements in the passing game for on

1047
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: the Sea, But I want to shift to Derrick Henry,

1048
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: who feels like a mortal lock in this game. Yeah

1049
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: he is. I'm gonna I'm gonna give him in a

1050
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: even though he probably should get a b U. He

1051
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: has outtouched Dion Lewis fifty five to fourteen to this point,

1052
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: so he's be clear. Alpha back on roster. He's even

1053
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: he even has more targets than Dion Lewis. Are you serious? Yes,

1054
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: So we're not eve gonna talk about Dion anymore. He's

1055
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: on the bench in this game. Back to Henry, though,

1056
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: this could be a tough matchup on the ground. Uh.

1057
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook shredded the Falcons on the ground, but after that,

1058
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: they held the Eagles and Colts backs to three point

1059
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: one yards per carry over the last two weeks. And

1060
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Falcons used to always give up catches

1061
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: and bunches to running backs, but not so far this year. Really,

1062
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: no loan back has topped three receptions and niheim Hinz

1063
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: is the only running back to top fifteen receiving yards

1064
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: with like twenty four, So they're not giving up a

1065
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: ton through the air. But I'm still giving Henry in

1066
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: a don't Yeah he's he's an a. Yeah, he's an A.

1067
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: The other two workhorse backs that have faced Atlanta, Dalvin

1068
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: Cook Marlon Mack giant games with I think they may

1069
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: have each scored twice or twice. They have three between them,

1070
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 1: I believe, so I I see another big game comment

1071
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry. I like him more than you did.

1072
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: I just get nervous when I I have so much

1073
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: confidence in Derrick Henry every time you think you're gonna

1074
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: be okay. I have a lot of confidence in Delaney

1075
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: Walker to The Falcons have allowed to combine seventeen tight

1076
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: end receptions over the last two weeks, and again they

1077
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: lost starting safety Kian O'Neill, which boots very well for

1078
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker is an easy start this week in the

1079
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: tight end late Wasteland probably more like an A but

1080
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: you're starting them either way. You are not starting Corey

1081
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: Davis and A J. Brown. They've combined for thirteen catches

1082
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: all season long. That's it. That's it, unbelievable, unbelievable. When

1083
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: A J. Brown was a thing in Week one, Yeah,

1084
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: that was one long catch though he had three for

1085
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: a hundred. It was just like one of fluky long catch.

1086
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: The wide receiver you want to start for Tennessee is

1087
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: Adam Humphries, who was might take a chance on me

1088
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and Marcus Mariotta was MNNA take a chance

1089
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. Heaven helped me. I'm going Batman and

1090
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: Robin with the Titans, but I like them both in

1091
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: this matchup. On the past turf over uh Anna. Julio Jones.

1092
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: Easy A has scored in seventh straight and has twelve

1093
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: total touchdowns over his last twelve games going back to

1094
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: last season. I'm not going to justify that start anymore.

1095
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley gets a b came down to earth last week,

1096
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: but a great spot for a bounce back game, especially

1097
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: considering dirt. Kedder said Ridley could see the squeaky wheel

1098
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: treatment this week. We always that it was there some

1099
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: squeaking that I didn't hear about. I guess he was

1100
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: being a little squeaky behind the wheels, or maybe he

1101
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: missed understood the squeaky wheel treatment. He probably maybe he

1102
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: heard the wheels in Ridley's head, but that Ridley was

1103
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: outspoken about it. Really, but the outside corners Malcolm Butler

1104
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: and Dorry Jackson both allowed quarterback rating north of a hundred.

1105
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: They are not that great. Who is pretty good is

1106
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan, the slot corner for the Titans. So Mohammed

1107
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: Sanu was on the bench, but Austin Hooper is not.

1108
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: He's basically a top five tight end right now, and

1109
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: the Titans have not fared well against tight ends this year.

1110
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: Uh four catches thirty seven yards and a touchdown to

1111
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: the Browns tight ends five, six and one to the

1112
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: Colts tight ends and three and one to the Jaguars

1113
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: tight ends this week. So touchdowns in every game. Gotta

1114
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: like Hooper, and you gotta like Matt Ryan. With Julio

1115
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: Ridley and Hooper getting very positive grades. Not gonna go

1116
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: too deep into that one. Yeah, but if we like

1117
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: all of receivers, obviously we like Matt Ryan, yep. But

1118
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: we do not like DeVonta Freeman. So Edo Smith might

1119
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: not play. Uh, I think he's going with the concussion.

1120
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: So let's assume he does. And I'm still giving Freeman

1121
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: the see. After allowing just seven rushing touchdowns to running

1122
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: backs last year, Tennessee still dominant against the run. Running

1123
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: Backs have just scored once on the ground so far.

1124
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack had only fifty one yards on twenty carries.

1125
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette sixty six yards on fifteen carries. One

1126
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: of those carries one for six exactly. Its negative the

1127
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: rest of the game. You know what, I'm benching DeVonta Freeman.

1128
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind. I don't care if he does out.

1129
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. Play t J Yelton every week.

01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: slash chart. Let's talk about the first indoor game for

1149
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes since entering the NFL since college. Yeah, his

1150
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: last one he had liked, and probably yeah uh is

1151
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: at Detroit for this one, and Mahomes and Kelsey or

1152
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: auto starts their obvious a's let's drill down on some

1153
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: of the trickier starts in this matchup and it will

1154
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: stay with the passing game. Where Sammy Watkins gets a

1155
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: B he's commanding a massive twenty eight percent target share.

1156
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: And that's really critical to understand is this passing game

1157
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: still largely goes to Sammy Watkins. And I know he's

1158
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: been mostly disappointing since Week one and you didn't even

1159
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: start him in week one and all probability for many

1160
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: of you. Nevertheless, this is a nice matchup. He runs

1161
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: forty six of his snaps from the slot, and the

1162
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Lions cornerback Justin Coleman was just eviscerated by two scores

1163
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: by Nelson Agilar and he's yielded three scores on the season.

1164
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 1: So I I think this is a very good opportunity

1165
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: for Sammy Watkins to bounce back to something closer what

1166
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: we saw in week one. He is a B grade

1167
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Mi coole hardman with all that speed on the fast

1168
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: surface indoors against Detroit. I like him. He also runs

1169
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: the majority of his runs from the slot. He can

1170
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: also attack Justin Coleman if he's got Coleman on his side,

1171
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: and so there's another good opportunity for him. He's averaging

1172
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: fifty snaps a game. Kole Hardman, He's on the field

1173
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: a ton, plenty of opportunities to score. I like him

1174
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: to bring in a long, long touchdown in this game.

1175
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 1: And then there's de Marcus Robinson. He is a place

1176
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: on the outside, so that means he's going for the

1177
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: sleigh ride this week. It's Darius Slay who's been very

1178
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: good as usual. He's allowing just fifty two of the

1179
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: passes in his coverage to be completed. And the other

1180
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: outside corner Rashaan Melvin's also been really good. So DeMarcus

1181
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Robinson just a great here. And honestly, if it were

1182
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: any other offense and any other quarterback, I'd probably tell

1183
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: you to benjam just just a reminder Darius is questionable.

1184
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: So well, we'll watch his staff keep an eye on that,

1185
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: if you have to, Marcus. Now, if Slay doesn't go well,

1186
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: we'll knock mark DeMarcus Robinson up to a B grade.

1187
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: But he's a sea as it stands at the moment.

1188
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running game, Lashawn McCoy. The Lions

1189
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred seventy total yards per game to

1190
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. They're allowing a score in every game

1191
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: this year. Even the moribund Eagles carouself backs put up

1192
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty three yards and a score in Detroit.

1193
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: So there's plenty to go around here. Even if Lashawn

1194
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: McCoy is stuck in a time share with Darryl Williams

1195
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: that she probably is, McCoy gets a be so does

1196
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams for many of the same reasons here, And

1197
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: last week he got more snaps than McCoy, he's healthier

1198
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: than McCoy, he got more carries the McCoy more targets,

1199
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,439
Speaker 1: more receptions. So darry Williams might even be the better

1200
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: play than McCoy. And if at some point McCoy's uh

1201
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: ankle injury ends up being a bigger problem than who knows,

1202
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: McCoy might hit the bench. So I think I prefer

1203
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Darryl McCoy, although he give them both bees. Let's go

1204
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to the Detroit side. We spent a lot of time

1205
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: talking about carry on Johnson a little bit ago. He's

1206
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: getting just two point six yards per carry, which is

1207
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: deflating um and he's top fifty one rushing yards just

1208
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: once once in the last seven games. But the Chiefs

1209
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: are just mauled by mark Ingram and Gus Edwards for

1210
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty six yards and three scores. And Kansas

1211
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: City is allowed to touchdown to an opposing runner in

1212
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: twenty two of their last twenty nine games. That's that

1213
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: is what we call a trend. So I think Karrion

1214
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Johnson finds a way to be productive here and he

1215
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. Let's go to the passing game.

1216
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford with a B grade. The chief secondary has

1217
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: stymied two straight quarterbacks, which is impressive, but they were

1218
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: facing two very thin sets of receivers in Oakland and Baltimore.

1219
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Lions have got far better receivers, averaging just thirty two

1220
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: tempts in regulation. Matthew Stafford is volume has been a

1221
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: concern here, but I think that won't be a him

1222
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs offense because you had got a pass

1223
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: to keep up with the Chiefs, right. So I like Stafford,

1224
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I like Holiday, and I like Marvin Jones who was

1225
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me wide receiver. Let's talk

1226
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: about Kenny Gollady, who also gets a B in this one.

1227
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: He will go up against Chief's corner chart various ward

1228
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: the most and words giving up three inches and twenty

1229
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: pounds to Golliday who's a big dude, and he's giving

1230
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: up a sixty seven percent completion rate through three games.

1231
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: So I like holiday here at a B level. Then

1232
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: there's t J Hockinson who's frustrated a lot of people.

1233
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: But guys last week touched on, called back and penalty

1234
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: scanned dropped a dropped touchdown pass for t J. Hockenson.

1235
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Let's not give up on the rookie quite yet. The

1236
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs have allowed the most receptions to opposing tight ends,

1237
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: the fourth most yards to opposing tight ends. T J.

1238
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Hockenson can turn it around here. Chiefs are a bottom

1239
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: half defense and yards per reception allowed to tight ends.

1240
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: So we're all that together. I think we can go

1241
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: to war with t J. Hockenson one more time. Let's

1242
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: see what happens. So I have will dis Leean Hockinson

1243
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: in a tight two tight end league league with you charge.

1244
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: But Darren Waller, who's obviously auto start. But I've played

1245
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the wrong guy between and Hawkins and every week. I

1246
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: bet you gotta go Disley this week. But now I'm

1247
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: thinking Hawkinson. Really, I don't charge. Maybe I've seen Waller.

1248
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: No not, I'll talk about I don't think. I don't

1249
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: think you can. All right, let's go back to the matchup,

1250
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: Seattle taking on Arizona. Scott, do you want to start

1251
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: with Will Disley? Uh? Wait, since we're talking tight ends

1252
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: and we're talking Will Disley, we never start a match

1253
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: up with Disley talk no tight end? No, but do it.

1254
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Here's my take a chance on me player. Arizona is terrible,

1255
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 1: terrible against tight ends. The Giants that gave up a

1256
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: touchdown every week two years ago, they just transferred it

1257
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: to Arizona for this year apparently. Uh. In that passing game, though,

1258
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Arizona is terrible against the past in general. Right now

1259
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: with Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford still both out. Uh

1260
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: So I'm giving Wilson an a grade here that the

1261
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks are normally very run heavy, but they're passing a

1262
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: lot more. Wilson's on pace for five passestempts this year

1263
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 1: at this point. He had fifty last week average in

1264
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: over three yards per game. The Cards allowing the third

1265
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: most passing yards, second most passing touchdowns. Gave Kyle Allen

1266
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: a career game, so I'm loving the passing game. Tyler

1267
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Lockett a grade as well. He had never had double

1268
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: digit targets in his in his career before this year.

1269
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: He's had double digit receptions in two strange He's my

1270
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: number one ranked wide receiver this week. I don't blame you.

1271
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. Dk Metkiff seems to find find

1272
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: his way to a big play every week. I think

1273
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: this is a matchup it happens again. BE grade for him. Carson,

1274
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade. I think Penny's gonna be

1275
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: out again. He only saw fifteen touches last week. With

1276
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Penny out, I think that's probably about what he'll see

1277
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: this week because I think it's gonna be more of

1278
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: an aerial game. On the Arizona side. Kyler Murray, I

1279
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: am giving and a grade to be grade, Okay, I

1280
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to see your face if I gave That's

1281
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: why I pause. I'm giving him a B grade. B

1282
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: grade to the Seahawks have allowed multiple touchdown passes every game.

1283
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: Every week this year um significantly fewer yards, though, and

1284
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: part of that is because they had faced Mason Rodolphin

1285
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. Kyler Murray averages fifteen more attempts per game

1286
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: than those two combined for against the Seahawks. So he's

1287
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna pass it. He passes over forty times a game.

1288
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna get something. Then leading pastor by attempts. Oh,

1289
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. They're they're

1290
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: leading in plays per game by like ten or something.

1291
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Uh, Dalton had a bunch of garbage time.

1292
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: I think Murray can get that here. Uh, Fitzgerald and Kirk.

1293
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm giving Fitzgerald and a grade and Kirk a B grade.

1294
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Here's why they picked up Jamar Taylor after we two.

1295
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna get Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald. There's the Seattle's two starting

1296
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: safeties are likely out as well, so that do and

1297
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals go four wide, they're really going to

1298
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: spread Seattle thin in the secondary. I think they all

1299
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the time, all the time. They're two leading receivers, fitz

1300
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: receiver exactly. So. So with Kyler Murray having sixty of

1301
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: his targets go to the slot. I like both of them.

1302
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: A and B grade there, d J David Johnson B

1303
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: grade here sales allowing fewer than sixty yards rushing per

1304
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: game too, and they faced Mixing and Connor and Camara

1305
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: some some good good backs, but Martin Kamara were able

1306
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: to add six plus receptions each and and some good

1307
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: games there. I think David Johnson might get that there,

1308
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: even though Murray hasn't been passing to him a whole lot.

1309
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: I think that he might get that passing game work

1310
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: in this one. All right, that makes sense. Tampa takes

1311
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: on the l A Rams Bryan. I already told you

1312
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: I like Ronald Jones, but wouldn't be surprised. We had

1313
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: a decent game from Peyton Barber in this one as

1314
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 1: as well. Rams, very very good past defense and a

1315
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: lukewarm run defense. Jamis Winston though coming and Mike Evans

1316
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: coming off the gigantic game last week? What do you

1317
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: make of this one? So this is uh? I have

1318
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to Mike tag Leare you

1319
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:01,839
Speaker 1: say that right? Who brought to light the the splits

1320
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: since the beginning of last season when a keep to

1321
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: leave plays and when he does not. It's huge differences.

1322
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: In the eleven games with the keep to leave on

1323
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: the field, the Rams are allowing two ten passing yards,

1324
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: three game and point seven touchdowns and one point four interceptions.

1325
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Eight games without three hundred passing yards, two point nine

1326
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and under an interception per game keep to leaves playing.

1327
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: So Jameis Winson is on the bench for me in

1328
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: this game, and uh, Mike Evans is not on the bench,

1329
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: But don't expect a big game from Evans like he

1330
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: had last week. UM. Opposing number one wide receivers have

1331
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: been serviceable against the Rams. Dj Moore seven catches for

1332
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: seventy six, Michael Thomas ten for eighty nine. Beckham had

1333
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: six for fifty six, none scored. That's kind of the

1334
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: ceiling you're looking at with with Evans in this game.

1335
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: So he gets to be UM and those wide receivers

1336
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: can find for thirty two targets. By the way, that's

1337
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,879
Speaker 1: a lot of targets and not a ton of production

1338
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: or touchdowns. UM, Chris Godwin can give him a c

1339
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: he will play. There was some concern with a hip injury,

1340
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: but he return to practice on Friday, so we should

1341
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: be good to go. But number two wide receivers have

1342
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: fair far worse than number ones. And if you want

1343
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: to say Godwin's the number one and Evans isn't, then

1344
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: there is your argument. But I like Evans more than Godwin.

1345
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: In this game. He is questionable, but I think he

1346
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: will play, but reaggrevating that injury is also concerned. So

1347
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: just to see for him this week, O J. Howard, Uh,

1348
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: he's on the bench for me this week. Did show

1349
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: signs of life life last week with sixty six yards,

1350
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: but that was against the Giants. The Rams defense is

1351
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: much better than the Giants defense. Opposing tight ends have

1352
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: been shut down against l A totally, just seventy seven

1353
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: yards on eight catches all year long. O J. Is

1354
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a ton of blocking in this game,

1355
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: not a lot of pass catching. Uh. Peyton Barber I

1356
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: have on the bench. He was outtouched by Ronald Jones

1357
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: last week. And Dario gun Boal has also eaten into

1358
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: his playing time and f y i Ogun has more

1359
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: has run more pass routes than Barber and Jones combined

1360
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: this season. And the Rams should jump out and early

1361
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: lead in this one. So the game script is this

1362
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 1: not in Barbara's favor in this one, Ronald Jones, is

1363
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: your take a chance of running back Church. I will

1364
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: stand by you with that one. I would give him

1365
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,600
Speaker 1: a C grade. I'll give him a C grade. Um

1366
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 1: and Ogumboala on the bench as well. Um over to

1367
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: the ram side, Todd Gurley begrudgingly, I'll give him a

1368
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: bus only average three point five yards per carry over

1369
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,839
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, and those have been pretty good matchups.

1370
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: He has in top twenty touches. Yet he has just

1371
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,520
Speaker 1: eight receiving yards on six targets. And Tampa Bay secondary

1372
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: is so bad they're practically funneling the opposition to the past.

1373
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 1: They're just like here, go ahead. The opponents are passing

1374
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 1: nearly seventy of the time against Tampa Bay. You know,

1375
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown is a factor even though he's on the

1376
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: bench in this one, because it's all about the passing

1377
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: game for me. But I'm just gonna I'll give him

1378
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Gurley a B on name brand. But don't be surprised

1379
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: with the sea level production. I think I think he

1380
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: might chip in some receptions. I will help that certainly

1381
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 1: would help his cause. Um who will chip in receptions?

1382
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 1: Are the wide receivers. I'm not gonna go too deep

1383
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: into this one. They're all premium starts. I'll just say

1384
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: really quick. Preseason, he was Robert Woods, Brandon Cook's Cooper

1385
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: Cup in that order, right Yeah, Cup number one stays

1386
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: in the middle and Woods at the bottom. I know

1387
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Fish and I were way off Cup. I was way

1388
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: wrong there. I'm sorry, Cooper. I loved Cup last year.

1389
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I did not have faith he'd be able to come

1390
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: back from that injury. We all liked Cup, but I

1391
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: think we we we all all were sure about the injury,

1392
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: and just was was he gonna miss? Was he gonna

1393
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: take him a month to ramp up with? Fifth? Was

1394
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: my problem? Yeah? By the way, Cups from my number

1395
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: three wide receiver. This week he gets the A. He's

1396
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: that top five wide receiver right now, he gets an

1397
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: easy A. Cook's Woods, Uh, solid Bees, and then Jared

1398
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Goff gets an A. He's the new Drew Brees and

1399
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. When it comes to home road splits, this

1400
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: game is at home. We also at Dan Jones did

1401
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: to the Bucks last week. And uh, this one stat

1402
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: per Sports Info Solutions that I got via Evan Silva.

1403
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: Goth has a seventeen to two touchdown to interception ratio

1404
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: versus man coverage compared to fourteen to twelve against zone,

1405
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay's defensive coordinator, Todd Bowels, is running man

1406
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: coverage at least at the fourth highest rate in the

1407
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: league right now. So that bowls, how about bowls? Bowls?

1408
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Are pretty sure it's going Todd. Have you never mispronounced

1409
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: the name on the show, never accidentally pronounced a name

1410
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: that would then turn a guy into a butt? Well?

1411
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I did on purpose as jokay, Maybe I wish

1412
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: I did have been funnier that that probably would have

1413
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: been funnier. Um. I think that was about it for

1414
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 1: that matchup. Anyway, Our final topics are ahead. When we

1415
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: provide you with three guys we will believe will be

1416
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 1: hot waiver wire pickups next week that you can grab

1417
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: this week. It's our time machine addition that we like

1418
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: to call premature speculation, and it's happening next whether you're

1419
01:13:47,720 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: ready for it or not. Fantasy Football Weekly is Fantasy

1420
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: Football Weekly and I Heart Radio production. Remember all my

1421

Speaker 1: player rankings available for free at fambio dot com. Slash chart.

1422
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: If you missed anything part of the show It's a

1423
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: great way to recap all of the player information that

1424
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: you want to hear. Premature speculation is probably the most

1425
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: popular segment we have on this entire show, in which

1426
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: we try to identify players you want to pick up

1427
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: this week off the waiver wire that will be hot

1428
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,879
Speaker 1: pickups next week. But Blamo, they're already on your team. Blamo,

1429
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: We've decided, is the official sound of premature speculation. Guys, Brian,

1430
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: let's start with you. Upon whom are you premature speculating?

1431
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Rechard. I feel like I always talked about j

1432
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: Lyn re Shard every year on the show. I wish

1433
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: you'd stop, and that percentage has gone up from six

1434
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: in week one to in week two to last week

1435
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: he actually out snapped Josh Jacobs in a blowout loss

1436
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: to the Vikings, and that could very well happen again

1437
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis this week. Actually looking at the Raider schedule,

1438
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: they could get blown out in every week. It's not

1439
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 1: that too far fetched, especially in their next five games

1440
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 1: following this week against Indy, they all look like scripts

1441
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,520
Speaker 1: are games that will be scripted for Richard Um versus Chicago,

1442
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: then at green Bay at Houston, versus Detroit a great

1443
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: run defense, and the then versus the Chargers another solid

1444
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: run defense. So running back usage is a trend you

1445
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: should watch. And Richard is trending up, so he will

1446
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: be relevant in PPR league sooner than later, probably this week. Okay,

1447
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a boring priest back here from me, Chuck,

1448
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: Golden take comes off his suspension. Uh, you might want

1449
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: to get him this week before people, before people try

1450
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: to get him next week comes off his suspension after

1451
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: this week. That Giant's team, they got Golman running the

1452
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: ball and they have not a lot of warm bodies

1453
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, and Danny Times is dealing a little bit.

1454
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: So Golden Tate, I think Golden Tate's um I think

1455
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: reasonably competent fantasy leaks have already got him taken. But

1456
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of casual leagues out there that people

1457
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: aren't paying attention. And Golden Tate is going to hit

1458
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: the news like Tuesday of next week when he comes

1459
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: shows up for practice for the first time and people

1460
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: are like, Oh, it's gonna do Golden Tate's back, and

1461
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: you'll he'll you will already have him. Now I have

1462
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: two premature speculations. One is not is not likely to

1463
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: be a scenario in your league. But if anybody drops

1464
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo because of the bye week, go get him.

1465
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: He's got a lot better over the course of the

1466
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: three weeks. But I'm assuming he's gone in your league

1467
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: and he's not going to be dropped. I'm going back

1468
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: to the guy I gave you in week one, Richard Higgins,

1469
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: who unfortunately he's been hurt ever since Week one. But

1470
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: and I know the Cleveland offense isn't go in the

1471
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: right direction, but we're buying low and you know they

1472
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: lost David and Joko. They need an a big, warm,

1473
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: big bodied receiver. That's for Shard Higgins. Um, they can't

1474
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 1: keep funneling everything to oh b J. I liked him,

1475
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go back to the well. Now he's

1476
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: available virtually every league and uh, and you can get

1477
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: Richard Higgins before he comes back and potentially has a

1478
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 1: good game, although I don't think even if he plays

1479
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:18,639
Speaker 1: this week, and I don't think he does, he would

1480
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: have a good game here. But I still like Shard Higgins.

1481
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: Long term pick came up and play let's go, but

1482
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,640
Speaker 1: get into our final matchups, beginning with Dallas taking on

1483
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. Zeke is an obviously because the

1484
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Saints run defense guys so good last year and so

1485
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: not good this year. It's weird. They're giving up five

1486
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Last year they were number one in

1487
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: the league at three and a half yards per carry.

1488
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: That's a huge differential. Remember last year they were coming

1489
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: off the year or their their past defense was shut down.

1490
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: But then last year the past defense went to the

1491
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: garbage but go figure um in three games, four backs

1492
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: of top fifty yards against the Saints, Elliott leads the

1493
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: league and red zone rushing it tempts and yards. He's

1494
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 1: an A grade. Dak Prescott A grade another another potential

1495
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: good game for him. Here. New Orleans has allowed ten

1496
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: quarterback touchdowns. Only Miami has allowed more than ten, four

1497
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: of those ten on the ground of quarterbacks. They've given

1498
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: up a quarterback rushing touchdown in every game the Saints have.

1499
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Here comes Dak Prescott, one of the most mobile, fleet

1500
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: footed quarterbacks out there. If he does not run you

1501
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: to fantasy victory, he could pass his way there for you.

1502
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Which brings me to Amari Cooper, who also gets an

1503
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: A grade. He should be able to play through an

1504
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: ankle injury. He's been arguably Fantasy Football's best wide receiver

1505
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 1: this year, with touchdowns in every game. Saints cornerback Marshawn

1506
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:43,839
Speaker 1: Latimer shadowed Cooper when these two met last season. Cooper

1507
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: went eight targets eight receptions in that game. So far

1508
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: this year, Lattimore has allowed three hundred forty one yards

1509
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: in his coverage. That's worst in the league. Marshawn Lattimore

1510
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 1: looked like he was one of the most promising young

1511
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the NFL two years ago. Now he's allowed

1512
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the most yard in the league. UH A grade for

1513
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper. Let's talk about Randall Cobb. He was might

1514
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: take a chance to me wide receiver last week and

1515
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: had a seventies six yard touchdown called back on penalty.

1516
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 1: I hate it when that happens. He draws an exploitable

1517
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: matchup in the slot against p. J. Williams, who's a

1518
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 1: huge gambler. If p. J. William Williams, Society's gonna try to,

1519
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, stretch out for an interception, doesn't get there. Whatever,

1520
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Randall Cobbs startable in this game with a C grade

1521
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Jason Witten also see grade here. The Saints just gave

1522
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,759
Speaker 1: up sixty two yards and a score to Will Disley,

1523
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: but that's the most yards they'd allowed to the position

1524
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: in two years. Witten has scored in two of three

1525
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: games this year, and he's supposed to a solid fifty

1526
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: four yards in the other one. Let's go to the

1527
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,799
Speaker 1: Saints side for the first time in I can't remember

1528
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: how long I'm gonna talk about two and the only

1529
01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: two relevant Saints. That's it. It's Michael Thomas who gets

1530
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: a B grade. Teddy Bridgewater's passing even more discouraging. Well,

1531
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: let me go first and you go second. Did not

1532
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: throw a pass longer than fifteen yards completed nine He

1533
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: had nineteen completed passes last week. Two of them were

1534
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 1: for more than nine yards. Well, that makes sense with

1535
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: my stat his average depth of target, like how far

1536
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: he throws it on average three point three yards. It's unbelievable.

1537
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: It's it's staggering. So Michael Thomas can only get so

1538
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: much done. I believe that was Mike tag Leer. Also,

1539
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I like to credit he needs some time. Teddy's still

1540
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: younger than Carson Wentz. Did you know that does he

1541
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: really now? So back to Michael Thomas, likely to struggle

1542
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys secondary that's allowed the seventh fewest yards,

1543
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: just two touchdowns and wide receivers. He mostly runs on

1544
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: the outside and that puts him on two very good

1545
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,839
Speaker 1: cornerbacks Byron Jones and Hidobi a Woozy. I think Michael Thomas,

1546
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 1: I think a B grade might be generous here, and

1547
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing it mostly on volume of catches. Then. The

1548
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: only other guy to talk about for the Saints, of course,

1549
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: is Alvin Camara, who's in A grade pretty much every week.

1550
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: And in his first full game with Teddy, he took

1551
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: twenty five of the offenses forty two touches, he was

1552
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: nine receptions, ninety two receiving yards, any air touchdown UM

1553
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 1: last week. That's his best in a year and basically

1554
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: all of those categories. And if we threw out the Dolphins,

1555
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: and I kind of wish with the NFL would throughout

1556
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Dallas has allowed a rushing touchdown to backs

1557
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: in five straight games. So Alvin Cameric gets an A.

1558
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: We were all wrong on Murray. No, I wasn't totally off.

1559
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: That was totally off. Harrison was wrong on Davis Murray

1560
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: used in the sleeper. Yes, Jacksonville at Denver Scott. This

1561
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: is a game in which football will be kind of

1562
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: playing somewhat. You will there will be a pigskin involved

1563
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: in this game. Leonard four Nett had negative yardage until

1564
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: he broke the sixty nine yard touchdown not touchdown, six

1565
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: nine yard run last week. And I would love it

1566
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: if you would just predict a negative yardage game here.

1567
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: I cannot do that. I'm going to do the exact opposite.

1568
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: All right, I'm giving for Nett and a grade here. Honestly, Uh,

1569
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: he's He's had all but one of the Jaguars running

1570
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: back touches. He's had at least eighty seven total yards

1571
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: in every game. I know that last week the kid

1572
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: took a huge round to get there. Um, he hasn't

1573
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: been he hasn't explored for a huge day yet, and

1574
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't scored yet. But this Denver d has allowed

1575
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: some pretty big games. They've allowed touchdowns to running backs

1576
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: in every game, including two to Jacobs and two to Jones.

1577
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: I think that for Net with his nineteen touches a

1578
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: game finally gets gets off the schneide for not scoring

1579
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: he this is a by low opportunity for net for sure,

1580
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: there's some frustrated owners out there. In the passing game,

1581
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: I've been show on the bench. Denver's basically top four

1582
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,759
Speaker 1: in almost every single category, and they faced car Trabisky Rodgers.

1583
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: They those three guys combined for two touchdowns and barely

1584
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: averaged over two hundred yards. So he's on the bench. Chark,

1585
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade only for his connection

1586
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: with Minshew. He keeps scoring, he keeps getting decent yards.

1587
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: It's it's not a good matchup passing wise, but Bryce

1588
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: Callahan and Kareem Jackson are unlikely to play, so the

1589
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: secondary is going to be a little light out there,

1590
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 1: and they've been mostly burned by Tyrrell Williams, Marquette, Marquise Valdez,

1591
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: scantling speed, guys like Debt, like d D. Westbrookets. So

1592
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm actually giving Westbrooke a C grade on the option

1593
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: that he might get a big play and and if

1594
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: Chart gets a lot of Christopherris I might not even

1595
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: want to play. Well that's the problem. That's the problem

1596
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: with Chark. I'm a little worried about Chark this week.

1597
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: On the other side, Flacco I have on the bench,

1598
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: but I am all of his passes are going to

1599
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: two guys. Basically, it's it's Sutton and it's Sanders, and

1600
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: they're just barely getting enough to get C grades, barely

1601
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy viable. Both of them are in the top five

1602
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: in red zone targets. They've combined for like twelve teen

1603
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: red zone targets together, So I like their options, their

1604
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: SEA grades on them. SEA grades on both Lindsay and Freeman.

1605
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: I actually kind of like both of them this week.

1606
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: Lindsay because he gets he gets good receiving work. He's

1607
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: averaging nineteen touches per game. Freeman's averaging fourteen touches per game.

1608
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: The running this offense a lot through the running game. Uh,

1609
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are mostly allowing rushing attempts, so twenty three

1610
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: rushtemps per game, three receptions per game. So if I

1611
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: had to choose, I might lean Freeman over Lindsay this weekend.

1612
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm not alone on on that out there after I

1613
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: did my research on it. So um, but both SEA grades. Alright,

1614
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: Final matchup of the show, Tampa Bay taking on the

1615
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: l A rams Um. We've already taught feel like we

1616
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: got to do open Oakland. I apologize. I was gonna

1617
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: say we've done this one, um Oakland taking on Indie.

1618
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with Josh Jacobs and what has been a

1619
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: pretty disappointing season after a promising week one. All right,

1620
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: we'll start with Josh Jacobs, I guess the least exciting

1621
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: reader to talk about, but yeah, I'm just giving him

1622
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: a cre didn't John Gruden said they want to give

1623
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: him more targets, but I'll believe that when I see it.

1624
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: He has just three targets on this season. I'm worried

1625
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:10,719
Speaker 1: he gets phased out again like he did last weekends

1626
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings as uh the Raiders, uh supposedly or we

1627
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: all assume they'll fall behind the Colts. So uh you know,

1628
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this early. Jalen Richard outsnapped Josh Jacobs

1629
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: last week and there's danger of that happening again in

1630
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: a tough matchup. So just to see for Jacobs, I

1631
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: don't have re Shard with the starting grade, but he's

1632
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 1: my prespect so and if you aren't desperate and PPR,

1633
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 1: he's worth an ad um to the passing game. Now.

1634
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: I know it's late in the show, but can you

1635
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: wake up that peacock charge, because but I would be happy.

1636
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: Do we have not had pacock yet? It is the

1637
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: second show of the preseason I mentioned as my sleeper,

1638
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: virtually unknown guy named Darren Waller. Just go out and

1639
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: draft him. No one's drafting him. He had some potential

1640
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: this year, and yeah, he's got a lot of potential.

1641
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: He's living up to it. He gets an A in

1642
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 1: this one, basically demanding a third of Oakland's targets so

1643
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 1: far this year. The Colts will be without starting eight

1644
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: d mo Week Hooker, and they will be down a

1645
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: starting linebacker as well. I'm sorry his name slipping my

1646
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: mind at the moment. And Austin Hooper scored twice last week,

1647
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: so Darrell Darren Waller arguably tight end one. I would

1648
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 1: start him over Zach Ertz if it came down to it,

1649
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 1: if I had to, if I had them both on

1650
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: the same team, it's only I would have I would

1651
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 1: have done that, all right, Okay, I promise I would.

1652
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: If you know why, I would have Tyrolle Williams gonna

1653
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: give him a be Keenan Allen had a big game

1654
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: against Indie UM, so Williams really the only wide receiver

1655
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: with a warm body. Seventy nine, seven and nine targets

1656
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: are a lock. Derek Carr on the bench though, because

1657
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: he's Derek Carr over the Colts. Marlon Mack easy a Okland,

1658
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: conceded thirty one carries for a hundred ninety six yards

1659
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns the Minnesota Backs last week. Mac had

1660
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 1: a minor injury scared with the calf, but he touched

1661
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: the ball eighteen times last week against Atlanta. That's a

1662
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,560
Speaker 1: very safe floor for touches in this game. T Y

1663
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: Hilton is a listen as doubtful now with the quads,

1664
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,839
Speaker 1: so you just gotta just end. On Friday, they promoted

1665
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Shton Dulin from the practice squads Signy Hilton. So that

1666
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: brings Paris Campbell, Dion can Zack Pascal all into play.

1667
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: And that's school guy, but he's super athletic. Yeah let's

1668
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: go with him. I mean yeah, Paris is a good

1669
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: sneaky play in this game. I like Deon Kane more.

1670
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: It's really pick your poison. They all saw three targets

1671
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: last week. Kane Kane saw the most snaps. Pascal scored

1672
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: the touchdown. I don't know, my gut says Kane, But

1673
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: it's really a pick. These guys are gonna someone's gonna

1674
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: have a good game, maybe two of them, but um,

1675
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 1: who knows. And then Eric Ebron a big bump with

1676
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton out, mainly because t Y Hilton second

1677
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: in red some targets in the NFL right now, and

1678
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: that hurts Ebron, of course, but Hilton out, Um, it's

1679
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: a It's a good spot for Ebron. It's a great

1680
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: matchup on paper, team starting tight ends against the Raiders

1681
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: or thirteen of eighteen for two d seven yards and

1682
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: a touchdown this season, and with all those positive plays

1683
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game that made Jacoby Brissette take a

1684
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: chance on me quarterback, it is even without t Y Hilton.

1685
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: I still like Jacobe Brissette. I think he's I think

1686
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: he's sitting on a fine game, and I think he's

1687
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: actually sitting on a pretty good season. The rest of

1688
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: the way. He's available a lot of leagues. You may
