<v Speaker 1>America's longest running fantasy show, Fantasy Football Weekly, in our

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I Heart Radio production. I am your host, Paul Charchy,

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>and from fanball dot Com. My co host today are

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Brian Johnson in Scott Fish. Hello, gentlemen, what's going on charts?

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>It's a injury plague week four, That's what's going on.

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>So there's gonna be one of those times, and we're

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be recommending guys. We may not even talk about

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Sean him in Culkin and get him in your line up, right,

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>don't call him McCauley's cousin, though, no, it's not. I

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>just made that up. Well, I would believe it. Teams

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>are so thin right now that yeah, they call in

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>McCauley's cousin. Over the course of today, we're gonna break

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>down every matchup fantasy style. As always, we don't tell

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you which team will win, we tell you which players

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>will help your fantasy team win. You'll hear letter grades

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>on every meaningful fantasy player, and we like to give

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you the rationale behind it. You know, Here's it's not

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 1>just that this guy's will be. Here's why he gets

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a B grade. And you can decide if you want

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to go along with us or not. Later on we'll

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>answer three tough questions. We will also give you nine

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>different players upon whom you can take a chance. These

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>are guys that are not normally uh startable, and in

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>many cases are on the waiver wire that you can

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>pick up and play this week. And we'll also jump

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>into a time machine to identify the players will be

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>looking for on the waiver wire this week that everybody

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>else is going to be trying to pick up next week.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>But Blamo already on your roster. You already got him.

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>We we've established in earlier shows our time machine goes Blamo.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>That's sound. That's the time machine sound. It's a very

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>futuristic sound. Blamo. Not really Um, it's like a batman,

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>like old school batman. Yeah. But when you try to

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>go pick these guys up and they're already in a roster,

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>it feels like a Batman, punch to the gut. Somebody

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>else has already beaten you to that guy. We begin

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>with our matchups. First, one out of the gate, Carolina

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>taking on Houston. Scott on the Carolina side, Kyle Allen

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>four touchdowns the last week, He's got six touchdowns and

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>two starts, no interceptions. A lot of people feel like

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>he might be the better of the two quarterbacks for

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers. What do you think he does against Houston

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this week? Well, he got a week seventeen matchup for

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>one of those, and he got Arizona's defense for the other.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Helps is that is gonna help you look good? Uh?

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Mentioned last week when talking about Houston, this secondary has

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>an aging vet, a guy they picked up in free agency.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Just you know after week one and a rookie. Uh,

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's actually still another decent matchup. The Texans are

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>allowing three hundred yards per game and multiple touchdowns in

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>two of the three games. I still have a B

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>grade on Kyle Allen. I think Houston's d can get

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>beat and they're not pressuring like they used to. Uh

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>remember when J. J. Watt was something other than just

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a guy you saw on commercials. You know, I'll watch

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>whole games and his name will come up like two times,

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and it's mostly because the announcers are gushing over how

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>great he is, and then the whole game I'm waiting

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>from to make a play. Yeah, we'll get to Derek

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Watt of l A the Chargers later. He's more relevant

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>WAT than JJ right now. And definitely yeah, James Watt

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in the in the passing game the steam engin Wow.

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's he's more relevant deep diving right now. Uh.

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>D J. Moore, I'm not afraid. He only had two

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>targets last week, but he did have eight in the

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>game last year with Kyle Allen. I think it's just

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>what the defense gave them last week. I mentioned last

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>week how I thought Samuel's deep speed could get a

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>score and it did. Uh. This matchup I think is

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a little better from or Um. I don't think that

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>first game means a whole lot. He's going to be

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>matched mostly on Lonnie Johnson making his third career start. Uh.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>That should be a good day for more. I'm giving

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>him a B M. Also giving Samuel ob though as well.

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he can beat Jonathan Joseph. Still good, but

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>he's he's getting up there. I think he could beat

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Joseph. He grabbed five of his seven targets from

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Alan last week. Allen has trust in him. I like

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 1>both of them with B grades. Olson, It's hard not

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to love this resurgence. Yeah, I'm happy for the guy. Yeah,

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we all, you know, we all wrote him

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>off as dead. But Greg Olson's back, Yeah, exactly, And

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and Kyle Allen looking for him in the red zone

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is nice. Seventy five yards two touchdowns last week, hundred

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>one week after a hundred ten yard game Arizona. Man, uh,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>this is this is crazy that it's it's it's a

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>good matchup Houston is It's not a good matchup. Excuse me.

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Houston's top five. But this resurgence of Greg Olson is

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.239
<v Speaker 1>giving him a C grade just because Kyle Allen seems

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to like him in the red zone. McCaffrey a grade.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Euston could be the best defense in the world, and

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving McCaffrey and a grade. He's he's he's

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>His upside is two hundred yards. Uh in a lot

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of games, He's got a one eight yard game and

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a two hundred yards exactly. Between those two was a

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.799
<v Speaker 1>math outing. Yeah, And Christian McCaffrey gets all the running

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>back touches and Houston is giving up the second most

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>receptions and over a hundred thirty seven total yards per

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>game two running backs. So a grade for McCaffrey. On

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the other side, Watson, I'm giving him a B grade here.

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>He has eight total touchdowns in three ways three weeks,

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>including two with his legs. The most passing yards that

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers have allowed is only this year is two

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>hundred eight and having allowed over two hundred fifty in

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the last eight games, and in that eight game stretch

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>only three multi touchdown games. But I think, I think

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.239
<v Speaker 1>that it's it's gonna turn up for Watson here. He's

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>he's a little too good to a lot of the

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks they faced in that span weren't Deshaun Watson quality.

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to give him a Can I give

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>him a B minus Himma be you're happy with the

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>beat the thirty seconds ago? Alright, I'll give him a

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>bank you Hopkins gets an A. He's going to get

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a healthy Joseph Doseph James Bradberry, who is not as

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>good as Ramsey or Hayward Bradberry has had ups and

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>downs over his career, but Hopkins was able to catch

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>five plus passes on each of those other two guys.

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>He should be fine against Bradberry. Will Fuller I had

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>firmly on the bench, but he has seven targets in

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>each of the last two games. Dante Jackson should have

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>been a tough matchup for him because Dante Jackson can

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 1>run with will Fuller. Dante Jackson is likely out for

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>this one. This is one where you watch. If Dante

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Jackson doesn't play, Fuller can get in your line up

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>as a C grade. If he does, I'm benching. I

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's more than a C grade and you know

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 1>you're waiting for you know, as we all know, it

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>only takes one catch for will Fuller of the long

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>one and um Dante Jackson himself has already given up

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns, So even if he goes, I kind of

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>liked him in this matchup anyway. I like him more

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>than you stick him in any By the way, practically

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>ree and fan ball scoring for will Fuller. He could

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>be a very good DFS play. Stills in Q tier

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>are splitting the slot snaps. I'm keeping them on the

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>bench and hide after After eight point three yards per

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>carry in game one, he had three point three yards

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>per carry over the last two games. He was saved

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>by a touchdown last week. Caroline is middle of the pack.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed some good games to Brown, Gurley, Payton, Barbara,

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Dave Johnson. So I'm good give him a C grade,

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>but I don't love it all right, that's the end

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. Cincinnati taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's been

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a dismal year for Joe Mixon. Without a doubt, it

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>looked a little better, I thought last week, offensive line

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>getting a little healthier. What do you think about him

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>against what's really a pretty good Pittsburgh run defense. Yeah,

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>well I don't They haven't been that good. They've allowed

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the most totally yards of running backs per game at

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a take take it, take that, But but you were right.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Mixon has been a major dud. And even more concerning,

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>he was banged up earlier in the year, but he

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been on the field from more than the snaps

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in any game that it's not bell cow status. It

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>is the injury else. But I'm bet not a bounce

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 1>back here from mixing. As I said a hundred nine

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.239
<v Speaker 1>combo yards per game the Steelers are allowing to opposing

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Uh. They've also allowed the third most catches

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.559
<v Speaker 1>to running backs. Of course, Jio Bernard is a threat

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>in that category, which makes him a viable dart throw

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in PPR leagues. But I'm giving mixing and B He's

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna bounce back in this game, I hope as a

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Bengals fan. Moving over the receivers, Tyler Boyd gets a

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>b as well. Boyd is fourth and targets among all

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers and sets up nicely against the Steelers, who

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>have allowed at least one wide receiver touchdown in every game.

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Fellows a lot receivers. Julian Edelman, Tyler Lockett, and Dante

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Pettis all fared well against Pittsburgh, and for what it's worth,

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Boyd scored twice in his loan meeting with Pittsburgh last year.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I do believe J. J J. Green was healthy, but still

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>but they have John Ross the Bengals do, but he

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>gets to see always a boom er Bus play. But

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaning boom in this one. Um. Pittsburgh has allowed

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 1>fifteen completions of twenty plus yards already that plays into

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a nuts. That's a season for some secondaries. And uh,

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, Ross had two great weeks and last last

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>week he was shut down by trade as White understandably,

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the better shadow corners in the league

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>these days. So I'm giving John Ross a CE. I

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>do have to mention Audentate only because he's six five

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>to thirty and looked pretty good last week eighty eight

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>yards against the Bills. But he's on the bench for now.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>But we're watching I on audent Tate and Tyler Ifford

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>gets a seed to uh. This will be his first

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>game against the Steelers since three years since he's facing

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers. Uh. He ran three times the pass routes

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the cg USMA last week which was very encouraging and

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>will dis Lee George Kittle both good games. Disley had

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 1>a great game against the Steelers. So Iford is viable

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>with the Sea and that that gives Andy Dalton see

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>almost might take a chance on the runner up and

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>real quick multiple touchdown passes of his last three against Pittsburgh,

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>so he is viable, especially in two quarterback leagues over

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to Pittsburgh. James Conner another major disappointment at the running

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>back position. But this is a bounce back spot for

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>him obviously, and since he he gets an easy A,

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I won't even go into it. You're starting James Conner

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>with confidence this week finally, so he gets an A,

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>as does Juju uh Juju Smith Schuster. Of course, Bengals

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>might be without their starting nickel corner b W. Webb,

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>who's actually good at football, one of the rare players

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive side, which would leave Darius Phillips. Phillips

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and or Tony mccread a cover the slot. They are scrubs,

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>needless to say, so, easy A for Juju. Colt Beasley

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>caught eight balls out of the slot last week, so

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>keep that in mind. For Juju and James Washington Deonte Johnson,

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll give them both the sea. The Bengals boundary corners

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>are struggling big time outside of Buffalo's white outs. William

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Jackson and Drake Kirkpatrick have allowed three touchdowns to white

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I was already Deonte has out target Washington over the

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks, so I would lean his way if

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I had to pick one. But they're both dart throws

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>with the C grade as his vance McDonald if he plays,

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>he's questionable with the shoulder injury. Mike Tomlin says he's

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>optimistic he'll play dead. They traded for Nick Vannett, so

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>let's put it this way, it's a good matchup. He

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>gets to see if he plays since he has allowed

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty plus yards to at least the last two tight

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>ends they faced. One was rookie Dawson Knox, who actually

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>scored a touchdown for Buffalo. But if you're banking on McDonald,

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a Monday night game. By the way, No,

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't leave it to Monday's night problem. I don't

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know if I mentioned that yet, So you better add

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Nick Vannette. If you're banking on Vans McDonald, you've gotta

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 1>be able to pivot without dropping without dropping McDonald, which

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>is a problem. And then, uh, you know I liked

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>uh including Juju of course. Uh so I give Mason

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Rudolph a see. I like a lot of the Pittsburgh

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver looks so bad last year man a lot of

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>But but Juju bail him out right and catch I

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>know Juju go to bail himount twice in this game. Juice,

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>have a monster game. I hope you're right. He's a

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a cheap DFS option on fanball and maybe a

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>QB two. Yeah Rudolph in super FLEXI leagues, but yeah,

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>he's really on the bench and standard Cleveland takes on Baltimore.

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's start on the Cleveland side where Nick Chubb gets

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a B grade against a tough Baltimore defense. He's averaging

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty four carries and targets together, which is good. No

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>lack of volume here for Nick Chubb. But that's about

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the only good news I've got for you. The Ravens

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>held David Johnson to fourteen yards earlier this year. Last week,

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Williams and Shawn McCoy were able to get a

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 1>lot done. They put up a hundred ninety total yards

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>between them. But the Chiefs are just such an outlier

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>offense it's hard to draw any comparisons to the Chiefs

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and then the Browns, so I don't know that even

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>matters here. Only one back it's top one hundred yards

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>against Baltimore in their last twenty seven games. One yard

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.199
<v Speaker 1>rusher against Baltimore. Wow, that's it. Chubb ran for twenty

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>yards against Baltimore last year as the brown starter, So

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll we'll put some up twenty and one hundred yards

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>in this one, and to be greater, we're really hoping

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>on a for a touchdown for Nick Chubb. Uh into

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the passing game where I've only got a couple of

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.439
<v Speaker 1>starters for you, Baker Mayfield with just a Sea grade,

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 1>he's got to be Fantasy Football's most disappointing quarterback right

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else has better, Nobody has been more disappointed that

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland offense was. On my part, I thought, well, and

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you and everybody else, Scott Um. Tough matchup on the

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>road in Baltimore. Yes, Patrick Mahomes humbled the Ravens last week,

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>but that's Patrick Mahomes and you know you can't compare

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>him to anybody else. Prior to the Chiefs game, the

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Ravens had allowed zero or one passing touchdown in seven

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of the previous nine games. I think you're likely looking

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>at a one touchdown effort for Mayfield here, and then

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>it'll be great for Odell Beckham, who's getting tons of

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>targets thirty already. But get this, thirty targets nineteen receptions

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 1>for Odell Beckham. That's it that stinks, and it's some

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of that's I think most of that is on Baker

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield just misfiring, which is crazy because he's such an

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>accurate quarter history right now. Um, worrying Lee? Is that

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a word? Worrying Lee? Worrying Odell Backham has garnered one

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>red zone target this year one. He's been targeted thirty times,

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>only once in the red zone. Come on, Odell runs

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>from the outside where cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Anthony Averett Waite.

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland be wise to put Odell opposite Averett, who's yielded

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>ninety yards per game, that's fourth most among all cornerbacks.

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>And ever it's given up two scores already. That is

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a winnable matchup for Odell, so he is a b start.

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis Landry's on the bench. Two career touchdowns with Baker

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield at the helm. That's it for Jarvis Landry and

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>he somehow turned twenty three targets into just ten catches

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>this year. Tough matchup against a good slock corner Brandon Carr,

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis Landry, you're on the bench. I dropped him in

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the league. I don't blame you. Qualms. That was like

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sure people like, oh,

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis Landry, you sabotage dropped Jarvis Landry, other others picked

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>him up, probably started him in the getting nothing. Now listen,

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>all y'all, let's go to the Baltimore side. Mark Ingram

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>has been great and in two meetings with Cleveland last year,

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the combined Ravens running backs two meetings. Let me, I'm

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna slow this down to make sure people get it.

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Two meetings with Cleveland last year, the combined Ravens running

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>backs three hundred forty rushing yards. I'm struggling to remember

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>who they were, just running the guinea big shaver? Three?

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that your is in there too? Did shave my

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>guinea pig? Here comes Ingram with his six yards per

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>carry almost two touchdowns per game, no brainer, A grade

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>for him. Lamar Jackson also in a grade. He faced

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland once last year and ran for ninety yards and

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns. Brown secondaries a wreck with injury. You're gonna

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 1>want to watch the status of Greedy Williams, Morgan Burnett,

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Denzil Award. They're all shaping up his game. Time Decisions

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>paid special attention to Greedy Williams and Denzil Award, the

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>fastest set of outside corners in probably the entire league.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>If those guys do play, they can use their speed

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>to neutralize Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin. And if they

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>don't go, I really like Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about those guys. So for Markis Brown again,

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Greedy Williams Denzil a Ward if they're in. If they're

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>in the game, I got Marquis Brown at more like

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a C level. If they're out of this game, then

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I like Markus Brown at an A level against backup cornerbacks. Um.

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And then also if they're out, Miles Boyken as a

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>dart throw makes sense. Mark Andrews still not practicing with

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the foot injury, but should play here. He did say

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>today that he was very yeah um and the only

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>good tight end to face the Brown so far this year.

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Delaney Walker rocked him for two scores. Last thing, I'll mention,

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you need a deep sleeper running back Gus Edwards getting

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty two snaps and ten touches a game, and that

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>by might be enough to make Edwards a potential sleeper

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>against the Brown's team that they just ran through last year.

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.640
<v Speaker 1>People need warm bodies at running back more than every

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>two now more than ever. J j I just said,

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just announced all thirty two teams. He's ready to come back.

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 1>So what does that even mean? Announced to thirty two teams?

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I tweeted an hour ago. Does that an announcement to

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>thirty two teams? It was? It was? I'm sure as

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>they didn't contacted them in the Giants will be in

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 1>touch show probably retweeted his own tweets saying that has

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>no likes on it. J I, by the way, stinks.

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't good before all the knee problems. I went

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 1>to bad for him. Fish certainly went to bed him.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we're done, right, I mean, yeah, alright, let's

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>let's just the best case scenario for j GI. He

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.439
<v Speaker 1>ends up with the Giants and I'm still not very interested.

<v Speaker 1>in the royalty free version of take a chance on me.

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>We begin at the quarterback position. Brian, who you got?

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:12.919
<v Speaker 1>I can sort of taste a little bit of vomit

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>coming up, but I'm still taking Marcus Mariota at Atlanta. Wow,

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons just suffered another huge loss to their defense.

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Safety Kianu Neil tore his achilles for the second straight season,

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>sadly for him, and when he went down last year,

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>they got consistently shredded by anybody, especially when he went

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.679
<v Speaker 1>down with the injury. The look on his face was

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a look of recognition. I'm looking at him, going, he's

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 1>had this before, he knows exactly what this is. Yeah,

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>I felt bad for him. They say it's like a

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>drape getting pulled up or something. I don't wanna think

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 1>about it, but anyway, that the trend started already. Jacoby

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Brissette went for three ten and two after Neil went down. Um.

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.640
<v Speaker 1>The Falcons have also allowed two rushing touchdowns with quarterbacks

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 1>so far at the season. Mariota is third in rushing

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>yards among quarterbacks so far average six point four yards

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>per carry, and despite a couple of down weeks, I

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>think three total yards and two total touchdowns is safe

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 1>FLOORA not the highest second over under of the week. Wow, Yeah,

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's go. I'd be even more impressed. You

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>who told people to go with Corey Davis remember when

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>he was a thing. All right, let's go with your quarterback, Scott.

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I am going with Washington QB tv D TBD. It

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds like keenum Is is back and ready to go. There.

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>They're saying he's going to get the start. Uh, so

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm letting him back up as my take a chance

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.639
<v Speaker 1>on me. The Giants allowing three fifty yards passing and

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. As bad as

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Keenum has looked, he's still racked up multiple touchdowns in

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 1>every game in three and thirty or more yards and

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>two of those and uh, this isn't a ball hockey defense.

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>You worry about those turnovers with keenom Uh they only

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>intercepted Jamis Winston once. Which is which is? That's not

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>ball hockeying at all. Now, worry on Keenum is what

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>happens first drive or second drive? He throws a pick?

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>That might be it. That's your work. I mean your

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>upside is it's a Giant's defensive easily give up, you know,

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 1>four D and four downside His kingdom doesn't even finish

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the game. I think he's going to be fined in

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>this way. And it sounds like Colt McCoy is ready

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to go. Now, I love how about that? Um? The

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>aforementioned Jacoby Brissettes might take a chance on me quarterback

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>as he goes up against Oakland, coming up the best

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 1>game of his career. Last week, and that momentum should

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>carry forward against a wobbly Oakin's Oakland secondary even without

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>t Y. Hilton probably does not play in this one.

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. The Raiders are allowing a completion percentage

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:43.120
<v Speaker 1>of that's eighth worse, and PRISCT has top seventy twice

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:48.360
<v Speaker 1>in three games. Even without Hilton. Give me Paris Campbell.

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to war with Paris Campbell, Chester Rogers and

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Zach Pascal as the Colts starting wide outs. If I

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have to against Oakland that bad, Let's go to the

0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 1>running back position. Brian, who you got? I got old, yeller?

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 1>T J. Yelden of Buffalo actually pretty young. He's only

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years old. But they're they're at home against

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>New England. So get this. Buffalo is three and oh

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 1>at home, seven point underdogs, of course, but it's for

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. It should not be seven points that people.

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about that matchup. They're they're playing a

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of points. But t J got uh. We're assuming

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Devin's singletary is out, by the way. We'll talk more

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.439
<v Speaker 1>about this game, but he is likely to not come

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 1>back this week. Even well, we'll talk about it. We'll

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about it more in the matchup anyway, but even

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 1>if he does come back, it's a tough matchup. This

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>is a game script for for yelling without a doubt,

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's been that way for Buffalo Backs against New

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>England for years. Last year, Buffalo Backs total thirteen catches

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>across two games, and uh, with the Patriots likely to

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 1>focus on stopping Allen's legs and John Brown speed, five

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to six catches for Yelden should be a lot. He

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>had eight carries last week. Two catches. Um, I'm seeing

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>ten to twelve touches in PPR leagues. I'm playing him. Okay,

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>sounds good, you're running back, Scott. I'm going with Adrian Peterson.

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>He just got done facing three top ten defenses in

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Bears, Eagles, and Cowboys. Now he gets the Giants

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 1>defense that is bottom six, and they've allowed twenty six

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Russia attempts, not touches Russia attempts per game and twenty

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 1>seven I believe in the three games. And they're starting

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>middle linebacker alic Ogle Tree out for this one. So

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I think this is lining up for an actual Adrian

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Peterson decent game that you probably won't use it much

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the season. But here's the week

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>for us? Is it? If not now, when for Adrian Peterson. Seriously,

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>why if you're not starting him here? Why is he

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.199
<v Speaker 1>on your rob bottom six D rush D without their

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>middle linebacker. I was team Peyton Barber, um, and I

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>still kind of am team Peyton Barber. But I'm not

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>so stubborn that I won't acknowledge that Jones has got

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:50.919
<v Speaker 1>just more work, more yards, more attempts, and mostly looked

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>better than Peyton Barber. It hurts um. Now there's a

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit of caution here. Jones had who quality outings.

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>He's still only play like of the offensive snaps in

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.919
<v Speaker 1>the games in which the two games in which Jones

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>got a bunch of carries. But I like the game

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>script here against the Rams, and the Rams are an

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.360
<v Speaker 1>eleaite past defense, but they have allowed at least one

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred rushing yards and or a touchdown to running back

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in nine of the last twelve games. Obviously, going back

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to last year, Jones got those two quality starts already.

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>This year, I'm gonna try him for one more and

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>now watch it's going to be the paper Peyton Barber

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>show of course, but I'll we'll try Ronald Jones in

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:35.400
<v Speaker 1>this one. Unbowally pretty close, Gombo knows. All right, let's

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>go to the running sorry receiver wide receiver position. Well,

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you said it's funny I didn't take Corey Davis. Um,

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I am going to take a Titan receiver. But it's

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>not Davis Brown. It's Adam Humphreys actually, one of my

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>sleepers from the pre season two. By the way, very start, yeah,

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.040
<v Speaker 1>very slow start last week. Brag about that six catches

0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>on nine targets looked pretty good, and he's gonna look

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 1>good this week against Atlanta. And it's just it's all

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>about how this matchup lays out on paper. Here the

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>opposing slot receivers against the Falcons so far this year,

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Adam Theeland three catches forty three yards in a touchdown

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>on just three targets. Remember the Vikings through the ball

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>ten times in that game. Uh, next week, Nelson Aglar

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>eight for one oh seven in a touchdown. All right

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 1>on ten targetsop missing to missing like every other receiver,

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>but still okay, Well, the Titans are missing receivers too.

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 1>They have Corey Davis and A. J. Brown on the outside,

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>so I have been last week fairly stated. Okay, last

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>week t Y Hilton and Zach Pascal both scored from

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the slot, and overall, Colts receivers were eight for eight

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 1>for fifty nine yards and those two touchdowns. So Adam

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Humphreys all day, All right, Scott, what was he to

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.440
<v Speaker 1>take a chance for me? Receiver? I'm going with Will

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>dis Lee. This feels like cheating almost, because the Arizona

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals are just terrible against tight ends. T J. Hockenson

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 1>six for in his touchdown, Mark Andrews eight for one,

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>twelve in a touchdown, Greg Olson six for seventy five

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:59.159
<v Speaker 1>and two touchdowns. Hayden Hurst also scored. The Arizona Cardinals

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>are allowing most twice as many PPR Fantasy points as

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the second worst team against tight ends. That's unbelievable, insane,

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 1>how bad they are. I've got Marvin Jones going up

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>against the Chiefs. It's taken a while from Marvin Jones

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 1>get comfortable coming off of last year's knee injury, but

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>it looks like he's back on track and he's led

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the team in targets, yards and air yards. Last week.

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Juicy matchup with the Chiefs and they're prettily lousy. Secondary,

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>he goes up against or and or Chart various Ward

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.959
<v Speaker 1>on the outside and both guys are slow. Now, Marvin

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Jones is not like track Star speed fast, but his

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 1>whole deal has been downfield separation. That's the definition of

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 1>his career. He can get it here. He only needs

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>one long reception. The lines will be playing from behind,

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 1>and Detroit's gonna be passing regularly. Kansas City seeing the

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>eighth most passes in the league. Marvin Jones, it was here,

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 1>take a chance to me guy last week? Or do

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you just like him last week? Brian I wasn't on

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the show. It was somebody else I was thinking member

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>of years ago. John Twovey used to be on the show.

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>That's four touchdowns listening back in those days. That was

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the all time great take a chance on the hit

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of all of the twenty five year history of the

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>show was the four touchdown game Jones had. Yeah with

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals. Of course back in the day, Uh was it?

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh take Chargers taking on the Miami Dolphins. Scott for

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers. It's a lot of shifting stands here because

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>we have so many players that are out Hunter Henry's out,

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Mike Williams is out, Travis Benjamin is out, and Justin

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Jackson is out. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy, but whatever

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>is left in there get in your lineups. The Dolphins

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>are thirty first against quarterbacks, against wide receivers ninth, most

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>passing yards allowed, the most touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks four

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>per game, which is unreal. Second, most wide receiver touchdowns

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:57.120
<v Speaker 1>allow allowed. Oh, and the running game, most rushing attempts,

0:27:57.119 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>most rushing yards, second, most rushing touchdowns, the most receiving

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns to running backs, the most total yards allowed to

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>running backs. They're bad everywhere. Should be a top five

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:10.399
<v Speaker 1>back without even trying this week with Justin Jackson, I

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>think I think they're going to try a lot. Actually,

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 1>so imagine you're the Chargers and you don't have You've

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>got Justin Jackson out, Melvin Gordon just joined the team,

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know that Gordon is going to get a

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>fair amount of work going forward. We'll talk more about

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>in detail this minute. Why not just run for the

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>whole game. It's not even Rich Rivers, who doesn't have

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.040
<v Speaker 1>an even starting receivers other than Keen exactly. I do

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>think you still give Keenan Allen in a grade here.

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 1>He got fifteen targets last week with Hunter Henry out,

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so I think that, uh, I think that he's still

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>in a play. But it's all it's all Alan. There

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are sneaky people trying to get Sean Culkin at tight

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>end because yeah, Troy, Yeah, Troymaine Pope, former Seahawk. I believe, uh,

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>he'll be backing up. Those are sneaky plays. It's probably

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it's probably too cute, but a grades on the players

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that you would play from the Chargers on the Miami side.

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Preston Williams, I'm giving a C grade. I kind of

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>want to give him a B grade, with Casey Hayward

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>possibly out as well. Uh, Preston Williams has twelve targets

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>in every single game he's played with Josh Rosen. How

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>about that? All of them? But he's fourth in the

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>NFL and red zone targets and he's had double digit

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy points every single week in PPR. Last look, I've got,

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I got started Williams in a bunch of leagues. Get

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 1>him do it here. That's it. You've probably heard us

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Guillotine League, the hottest new format and

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>fantasy sports. Each week, the low scoring team gets cut

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 1>from the league and their entire roster goes to the

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>waiver wire and all the remaining teams get to bid

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on those guys. It's awesome fun, and we're still creating

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Guillotine leagues. You can join one or learn more by

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:09.200

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:43.520

<v Speaker 1>major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts,

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the I Heart Radio app. Um. You normally start all

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 1>your all your patriots in pretty much every game, but

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>this one it feels like a trap to me at Buffalo.

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo is a damn fine past defense in particular. Tell

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>me who you think about the passing game for for

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 1>New England, Tom Brady, Edelman, Gordon, those guys. All right,

0:31:17.360 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>let's just start with Brady and I'll he's getting to

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>see and he's borderline benchable. I'd be looking. Also, I

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 1>think I like all of our take coom quarterbacks more

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 1>than Brady this week. Um, in his last four games

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>against Buffalo, three touchdowns, four picks, two by the way,

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and that secondary is probably better than it's been in

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>those previous four games. And um, Buffalo was held each

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>opposing quarterback you just one passing touchdown this season, that said,

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 1>those were Sam Donald, Eli Manning and Andy Dalton. But

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>still over their last eighteen games, only one quarterback has

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>had a top ten finish against the Bills, going back

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to last year, of course, and that was some guy

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 1>named Andrew Luck. You remember him, not even in the

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>league anyway, he used to play. Two touchdowns is the

0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>absolute ceiling for Brady. And because it's seventeen of the

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>last nineteen quarterbacks to face the Bills zero or one touchdown,

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'll give him a see because it's Tom Brady,

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 1>but again look elsewhere if if you can, I would

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 1>not fault you at all. Um to speak to his

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>receiver's real quick. Julian Edelman was knocked out a last

0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 1>week's game with a chest injury. Returned to practice in

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a limited fashion this week. You always got to expect

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots to play. It seems like none of them

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 1>are rarely ever scratched, So I'll give him a be

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 1>assuming he goes. He has scored or top two hundred

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>yards in three straight against Buffalo, and UH slot receivers

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>versus the Bills this year have fared pretty well. Jameson

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Crowder at four team catches for nine yards, t J.

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Jones of the Giants scored a touchdown, and Tyler Boyd

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>was serviceable with six for sixty seven last week. That's

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the week. Part of the Bills secondary is the slot,

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and I like Edelman better than any of the other receivers,

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the strongest part of their secondary, possibly the strongest best

0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>cornerback in the league. And yes, Jalen Ramsey, that does

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>include you. Is tradeabus White, who will be shadowing Josh

0:32:56.520 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Gordon all game long. Likely so Gordon, when on his game,

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is nearly impossible to cover. So I'll give him a see,

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>but temper your expectations because your Davious White shuts people

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>down and he'll be all over Gordon all game. And

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Philip Dorset has caught five of Tom Brady's last nine

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes going back to last year's playoffs. But this

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>is a bench game for him. But he's a guy

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 1>who should be on roster. If he's out there on

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 1>your waiver wire, I would go grab him immediately. Uh Now,

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the running backs. Unfortunately, we'll start with

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the charges boy, Sony what have you dubbed Sony Michelle Church,

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Sony walkman? When you average one yard per carry, you

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>are walking man. Well, he's walking the line of scrimmage

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>against anyone, against anyone not donning a Dolphins uniform. He's

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>averaging one yard per carry. Yeah, well but in two

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>out of three games one yard per carry. Come on,

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Sony walkman. So he's on the bench. He's on the bench.

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo is a loud one rushing touchdown running backs this

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>year and that went to se Kwon Barkley when he

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>was healthy, obviously, and Buffalo held Levyon Bell and Jill

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>mix it under a combined three point eight yards per carry,

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and you basically need a goal line plunging for Michelle

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just not banking on that this week against Buffalo. Uh. Then,

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 1>over the running backs James White and Rex Burkhead, I'll

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:11.440
<v Speaker 1>give them both a C and PPR. Burkhead, I'll give

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 1>him a SCENE standard too. He looks like the best

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>running back on the team. Uh. The Patriots lost fullback

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>James Devlin for the season, and they don't really have

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a backup from what I've heard, so they're just not

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna roll with a fullback anymore. So that'll open up

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities for White and Birkhead. Uh. Buffalo is allowed

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to receiving touchdowns so far at running backs, and again,

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Burkehead looks better than White, so I would start him

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>over White in this game. Over to the Buffalo side,

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 1>not nearly as much to talk about here, so I'm

0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 1>getting my notes in order. Uh. Uh. Well, Devin Singletary,

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>as we mentioned he won't play, were very unlikely to play.

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Um that gives the puts Frank Gore at a C

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:51.160
<v Speaker 1>grade if he If Singletary sits, The Patriots have allowed

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:56.399
<v Speaker 1>rushing arts running backs all year. Actually, that's really bad.

0:34:56.560 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>That's including guys. James Lee changed my mi ben Yeah please,

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm benching gored. And that's why t J. Yelden was

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:05.359
<v Speaker 1>might take a chance on me running back through the air.

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Through the air in PPR leagues and standard you're not

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:09.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna go there with Yelden only in PPR. And then

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 1>John Brown is on the bench. Stephan Gilmour maybe the

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.839
<v Speaker 1>best quarterback in the league as well. We'll be shadowing Brown,

0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 1>so he's on the bench, and I'll give Josh Allen

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to see just because um, the Patriots have allowed nearly

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>seven yards per carried running backs last year, which is

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a league high. And there are I don't know, Allen's

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the mobile quarterbacks. I'm gonna give him a seven though

0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't done much against New England. It's only been

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>one game and he hasn't played two Minnesota takes on

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bears. It's the league's number one rushing offense against

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 1>arguably the league's the best rushing defense. Something's got to give.

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.240
<v Speaker 1>In the two Bears games last year with the Vikings,

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook fifty one total yards that's it, including twelve

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 1>yards at Soldier Field last year. But this is a

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 1>whole different Vikings offense that is dedicated to the run.

0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But doesn't matter when only one runner has topped fifty

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:06.200
<v Speaker 1>five rushing yards at Soldier Field in two years, think

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>about that. Fifty five is not even a high water mark.

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's nothing. And only one runners top

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty five and two years at Soldier Field, they have

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 1>allowed two rushing touchdowns in the last thirteen home games.

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 1>It's a brutal matchup for Dalvin Cook. I give him

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.719
<v Speaker 1>a b out of respect for how the Vikings are

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 1>using him and the sheer volume I expect him to

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 1>have in this game. Kirk Cousins is on the bench.

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.959
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota has the NFL's lowest volume passing game by a mile,

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 1>just twenty one passes per game. The next closest is

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:37.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. But the Bears see the third most pass

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 1>has been parks. They're so hard to run on, so

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe volume won't be the problem here. What might be

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the problem is that the Bears have the number one

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>pass rush by Pro Football Focus and the Vikings have

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the thirty first ranked pass block by Pro Football Focus.

0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>That's not good. There will not be a lot of

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.879
<v Speaker 1>long passes for a Kirk to set up here because

0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna have time for them. It's gonna be

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of short stuff and that usually does not

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:04.840
<v Speaker 1>help fantasy owners very much. Stefan Diggs just to see grade.

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 1>He runs seventy seven percent of his snaps on the outside,

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:09.919
<v Speaker 1>so that gives him the toughest matchups on the field.

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Prince of Mukamara and especially Kyle Fuller was really good.

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Diggs has been very lightly targeted and as a one

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:19.479
<v Speaker 1>catch game, a two catch game, and a three catch

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:22.600
<v Speaker 1>game so far this year, and that's it. Um. Even

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>with an uptick and targets, it might not matter considering

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Fuller is going to be on him for a

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:29.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of this one. Adam theland works the slot and

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>if the Vikings have any sense, they're gonna they're gonna

0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:35.959
<v Speaker 1>run a buster screen in the slot, especially with Chad

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:39.279
<v Speaker 1>beebe normally their normal slot receiver out. I really I

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>like feeling, and they should use feeling copiously here. I've

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 1>got to be grade on him because he's got Like

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>I said, he draws the easiest matchup there is on

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the field against the Bears buster screen. Kyle Rodolph is

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:56.359
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. He'll continue to stay in block because

0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna have to hear. The Chicago Bears

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 1>have got awesome ed rusher, and I think that's going

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to force Rudolph to stay back at the line of

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage for most of this game. On the Bear side,

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I've only got two starters for you. We start with

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>David Montgomery. Now, there is some good news here for Montgomery. Owners.

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 1>He got thirteen of Chicago's eighteen running back carries last week,

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.919
<v Speaker 1>so he's he's starting to get the majority of the work.

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:23.480
<v Speaker 1>His yards per carrys increase in every game, and he

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>ran for five yards per carry last week against a

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 1>terrible Washington defense. The Vikings are normally an elite level

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>run defense, but this year they've been softer. Aaron Jones

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.399
<v Speaker 1>put up a good game two weeks ago. They're giving

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>up four and a half yards per carry and that's

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just middle of the NFL. So David Montgomery could get

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a little something done. He's got a C grade here,

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>as does Alan Robinson, averaging nine targets per game, so

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the volume is there. Unfortunately, it'smitched true Bisk Trabisky dealing

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.439
<v Speaker 1>those that volume. But nevertheless, hopefully get a little something

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 1>done here. Robinson has struggled in this divisional matchup in

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the past, just two catches and twenty eight yards and

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the two meetings last year. He'll get a lot of

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Xavier roads. But maybe through just volume, Allen Robins can

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:05.879
<v Speaker 1>get a little something done here. C grade on him.

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got Drabinsky on the bench. You know, he's an

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:12.360
<v Speaker 1>easily flustered quarterback going up against the Mike Zimmer defense.

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Bad things are gonna happen here. And he only put

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>up a hundred sixty five yards and a hundred sixty

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:21.520
<v Speaker 1>three yards against Minnesota last year, just one passing touchdown

0:39:21.640 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 1>between the two matchups. Taylor Gabriel's hurt, don't chase his

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:28.760
<v Speaker 1>his touchdowns from last week, and he draws Trey Waynes

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and his speed versus speed matchup if he does play.

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And then Tariko and Vikings about one running back touchdown

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 1>in the last eleven games. Only one has top thirty

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:40.720
<v Speaker 1>four yards in their last eleven games. Bad matchup for

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Tarik Cohen as well. We're not gonna We're not gonna

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>try rolling the dice on that one. I've seen cohing

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:48.560
<v Speaker 1>on some waiver wires already. I don't I don't blame him.

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 1>He runs you for nothing, he gets you nothing on

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the ground, and then you just gotta hope that you

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>get something, you know, work, that you can work with

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>through the air. Final matchup of the segment Scott Washington

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Giants, two of the worst d offences

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:03.200
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL facing each other here right the case.

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Keenom was one of my take a chance on me players,

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and so is Adrian Peterson. So let's stay left. Yeah, exactly.

0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:10.960
<v Speaker 1>At the run game, I don't think we have Chris

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Thompson left. He's on the bench under ten Ton touches

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a game and I said, I think it's a Peterson game. Uh.

0:40:17.360 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>In the passing game, it sounds like Terry McLaren is

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. He did not pack to practice Friday. Reports

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 1>are it was precautionary. If he does go, I like

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:29.719
<v Speaker 1>him in this one. Obviously. It's a great matchup. He

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>has touchdowns in three straight, sixty two or more yards

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in three straight. Five catches are more in three straight.

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The only team worse than Washington against wide receiver is

0:40:37.640 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the Giants, who he's playing against. So what do you

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.439
<v Speaker 1>think about like the depth receiver is Paul rich Does

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Tray Quinn interest you in this one? This? This is

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 1>my what if scenarios. I have Richardson with a C.

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 1>He's scored in two straight uh. Second, the team and

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 1>reception snaps, et cetera. I have him with a C grade.

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 1>If McLaren doesn't go. Uh. If McClaren does go, If

0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't go, I'm starting both Richardson and Quinn. Quinn

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>will be against Grant Haley, who's allowing seventy seven percent

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.560
<v Speaker 1>of his of his passes that direction to be caught

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:10.319
<v Speaker 1>and four touchdowns are allowed already in three games. Unbelievable.

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 1>That's a good matchup, most from Trey Quinn. Most quarterbacks

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:17.759
<v Speaker 1>a cornerbacks in the NFL give up four touchdowns all year. Yeah,

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Grant Haley's given up four in three games. Yep, exactly. Uh.

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Quinn's second targets h third in reception. I mean he's startable.

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>If McLaren doesn't go, I'd be a little more hesitantive

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.480
<v Speaker 1>if McLaren does go. On the other side. On the

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>other side, there we got Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes. I

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 1>think he's very startable. Again here a grade. He was

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:41.480
<v Speaker 1>almost my take home last week, but he wasn't in

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>my matchup, so I didn't do him. Maybe actually I

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:48.359
<v Speaker 1>think Matt did last week. Daniel Jones A grade here.

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.839
<v Speaker 1>It's it's already a great matchup. The Washington's allowed three

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>straight quarterbacks to throw three touchdown passes or more, and

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:56.920
<v Speaker 1>two of those top three hundred yards Dac even at

0:41:56.920 --> 0:42:00.080
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine yards rushing against them, and Danny can and

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 1>he can run Shepherd. I like sterling Shepherds and as

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 1>an A grade here to Washington's already allowed eight wide

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.919
<v Speaker 1>receiver touchdowns in three weeks UM. He's had at least

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 1>six receptions and at least seven targets in each of

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the two games played snaps in both last week his

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 1>only week with Daniel Jones hundred yards and a touchdown UM.

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.359
<v Speaker 1>And he's gonna be matched up against a seventh round

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>rookie Jimmy Morland, who has allowed eleven of the twelve

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 1>passes his way to be completed. So that's a good

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 1>matchup there for Sterling Shepherd UH. Evan Ingram A grade uh.

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Washington has been stingy against tight ends over the last

0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.279
<v Speaker 1>year and a half or so. But the two tight

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 1>ends that have actually performed against them, Evan Ingram and

0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 1>zach Ertz. Yes. So, based on what Evan Ingram has

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>done this year so far, averaging ten targets game, eight

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 1>catches a game, what he did last week with Danny Dimes,

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving him an A grade. I have a

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Gallman just on volume. I don't think

0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 1>he's very good. He hasn't been very good mobile quarterbacks

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 1>can open it up a little bit for running backs.

0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm only giving him a secret because he might get

0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 1>touches sell at all costs if he has a good game. Anyone,

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 1>this might be one with the slight hint of being

0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a sucker in your league, So go into them. Yeah,

0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you're I think you're onto something with that. Um.

0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:19.919
<v Speaker 1>The Thursday night game, Jordan's Howard with the big three

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 1>touchdown explosion and honestly look pretty good for a lot

0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of that game. And Sanders looked pretty good too. Um,

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 1>but do you think that this is a sell high

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>moment for Jordan's Howard or you're just happy you got him? Oh?

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd so high, absolutely so high, sell high in this one. Yeah. Yeah,

0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>if he's obviously not gonna get three, probably get three

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.879
<v Speaker 1>in a game all year. You you you seek out

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the Miles Sanders owner because he's panicking right now. Yeah,

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that's your best chance to sell. Howard High is finding

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sander's owner who's freaking out. I like that angle.

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.319
<v Speaker 1>And that's the kind of questions we've got coming up next.

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:57.439
<v Speaker 1>When we answer three tough questions, you can play along.

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Try to go a perfect three and oh against our

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:04.520
<v Speaker 1>panel of experts. Can you go three and oh? Fantasy

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly returns you. It is Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Paul charch In fanball dot com, Scott Fish and Brian

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Johnson with me. Boys. It's time to get into the

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>grinder with three tough questions listeners. You can play along

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:52.239
<v Speaker 1>see if you can go three and oh. I'll dole

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.960
<v Speaker 1>out the questions they'll try to answer. I'll give the

0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>correct answers, beginning with tough question number one. Carry On.

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Johnson is getting plenty of use, but not necessarily a

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of results going forward. Is he an RB one

0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and r B two flex or bench player? Brian? Uh? Well,

0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.319
<v Speaker 1>let's just talk about carry on. He is currently around

0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:21.120
<v Speaker 1>RB twenty four most formats, which puts him in flex territory,

0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:24.680
<v Speaker 1>but the usage suggests otherwise. He's ninth and carries among

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:27.560
<v Speaker 1>all running backs, which is very encouraging. He also leads

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Detroit running backs and catches and receiving yards. He also

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:34.320
<v Speaker 1>scored or receiving touchdown. The team recently cuts C. J. Anderson,

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>he's long gone. Ty Johnson will factor in on third

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 1>down and spell him every now and again. But we

0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:42.799
<v Speaker 1>all know Darryl Bevil loves a pound the rock. You've

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.479
<v Speaker 1>preached that all summer charts, and Detroit is hovering around

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:47.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty rush attempts per game and nine and a half

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine and a half, and they do have some

0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>plus matchups coming up. Shootout on the Horizon with the

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs of this week, they get Green Bay, uh next week.

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Howard just blomped a hat trick on the on

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:02.479
<v Speaker 1>the Paths. Then the Vikings that's a tough matchup, of course,

0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and then the Giants in Oakland. So right there, that's

0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like a good enough stretch to finish as a flex

0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 1>player and not play any more games for the rest

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of the year. Of course, there'll be Chicago sprinkled in

0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 1>twice and the Vikings again. But long story short, the

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 1>usage should stay consistent if he stays healthy. I'm going

0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:21.280
<v Speaker 1>RB two. Okay, I'm also going RB two. His snaps

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>went from the mid fifties until this release of c

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 1>J Anderson, when it went up to seventy percent of

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:29.919
<v Speaker 1>the snaps played. He also had six team point five

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.800
<v Speaker 1>touches per game without c J. Twenty one. Last week

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:34.480
<v Speaker 1>he didn't do a lot of with it, but it

0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:37.600
<v Speaker 1>was against a very good Eagles run defense who haven't

0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:40.320
<v Speaker 1>allowed a runner over forty five rushing yards this season.

0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>If the twenty touch thing continues, he's easily going to

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 1>be an RB two. So RB two is your answers,

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:48.080
<v Speaker 1>all right? You guys hit on some of the salient points,

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:49.799
<v Speaker 1>but not all of them. Did You always faced more

0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:52.440
<v Speaker 1>eight man boxes than any runner, And I think he's

0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:54.480
<v Speaker 1>been as much as anything, the victim of the schedule.

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.680
<v Speaker 1>All four of the Lions opponents, including this week, the

0:46:57.760 --> 0:47:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs are particularly weak against the asked. I mean, the

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:02.520
<v Speaker 1>way you beat all four of the opponents they've had

0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 1>is you throw the ball on them first and foremost.

0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:08.239
<v Speaker 1>And so I think of time, we're gonna see the

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>game plans swing more his way with better opportunities for

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the running game. Keep in mind Carrie and Johnson average

0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 1>five yards per carry is a rookie. He's a good

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:20.680
<v Speaker 1>runner who just hasn't had breaks with the schedule, the

0:47:21.160 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 1>game mix, the way things have gone so far, and

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:26.000
<v Speaker 1>with c J. Anderson out of the mix. To Brian's

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>point earlier, and these incredibly easy matchups, he's going to

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:32.920
<v Speaker 1>get an A grade almost every week for the next

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 1>six weeks. It's gonna be an RB one level starting

0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>status for Carrie on Johnson, keeping the faith, Keeping the faith.

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Tough question number two, Sony Walkman Michelle averaging one yard

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:50.280
<v Speaker 1>per carry in two of his three games going forward.

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Is Walkman and RB one and r B two a

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:58.360
<v Speaker 1>flex or a bench player? Scott, This might be a

0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:00.399
<v Speaker 1>little contraining, but I might be going all the way

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to bench. I hate doing the New England backfield thing anyway,

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:06.319
<v Speaker 1>but this performance has been just bad. I know that

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:09.399
<v Speaker 1>on Friday Bill Belichick gave him like a little vote

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of confidence and spoke nicely about him. He's doing what

0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:15.920
<v Speaker 1>we asked him to, etcetera. But even with Devlin on

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I R and Burkehead questionable, uh Burkehead and James wed

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.919
<v Speaker 1>are both just better at both ends of the game

0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:24.959
<v Speaker 1>right now. And they did draft Damien Harris, who hasn't

0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>gotten an opportunity yet. I don't want to predict this

0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>offense at all, and I think that fantasy wise, it's

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:33.839
<v Speaker 1>going to be very split going forward. He he's going

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to be tough to figure out. I think he's a

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:39.480
<v Speaker 1>bench player, all right, She's Scott Sony Walkman. Michelle's a

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:42.279
<v Speaker 1>bench how about you you? We call him Benjaman I

0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 1>guess because I got him on the bench too. And

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:47.719
<v Speaker 1>you're like, well, we still play Miami one more time, right, Yeah,

0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you will in week seventeen. Sorry, you don't even get

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that game, Sony owners. I don't have much else to

0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>add other than New England already has a two devastating

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.840
<v Speaker 1>blows to their offensive line. They're starting center and right tackle,

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe already on I R And uh, you know,

0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just always been a muddled mess. I mean, Brandon

0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Bolding is still actually a thing in New England to

0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:13.759
<v Speaker 1>you just can never I believe so getting special teams Ace,

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I know that's his bit, but and uh, I mean

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Rex Burkehead just looks better and the only thing that

0:49:18.680 --> 0:49:21.399
<v Speaker 1>might be going in Michelle's favor is Burkehead has only

0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:24.080
<v Speaker 1>played eighteen games over the last two seasons, hasn't proved

0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to be entirely durable. But no one's rooting for injury there.

0:49:26.480 --> 0:49:29.479
<v Speaker 1>But no, he's not the best running back on the team.

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's just a bench player. Don't even worry about

0:49:32.719 --> 0:49:34.239
<v Speaker 1>him every week. You don't want to put yourself through that.

0:49:34.239 --> 0:49:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Just put on the bench, you'll be fine. Um. So,

0:49:38.920 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 1>his lack of productivity for Sony Walkman Michelle has been masked.

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy productivity has been masked, I think, and the NFL

0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:48.279
<v Speaker 1>productive has been masked by the two touchdowns for fantasy owners, right,

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:51.040
<v Speaker 1>so the two touchdowns give you this false sense that

0:49:51.280 --> 0:49:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Michelle's okay. Clearly he's not. Um. In fact, without those

0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:58.719
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns, I ran some I ran some estimates about

0:49:58.719 --> 0:50:01.120
<v Speaker 1>where his scoring would be minus the two touches. In

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:04.879
<v Speaker 1>this picture, he'd be a calculator the whole deal. He'd

0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:09.680
<v Speaker 1>be running back. Yeah, it's pretty bad, it's really bad. Look,

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:11.880
<v Speaker 1>he just doesn't pass the eye test, Sony Michelle slow,

0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he's tentative the offensive lines of wreck. As you guys mentioned,

0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:18.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, fortunately he's bailed out by those awesome pass

0:50:18.360 --> 0:50:24.160
<v Speaker 1>catching ability. Oh he doesn't. He doesn't catch any passes either.

0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Harris is better. This is where I was ready to

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:31.880
<v Speaker 1>give him the bench grade. But then there's the schedule.

0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>The after Buffalo this week you get Washington and the Giants.

0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you seriously telling me against Washington or the Giants?

0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:42.040
<v Speaker 1>A guy who gets the vast majority of the carreys,

0:50:42.080 --> 0:50:43.879
<v Speaker 1>he gets a lot of the goal line stuff and

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 1>virtually all the goal line carrys is not going to

0:50:46.160 --> 0:50:50.640
<v Speaker 1>get a starters grade. He is and he there's this,

0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:53.160
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't fumble. He's on the field of ton or

0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:55.600
<v Speaker 1>at least so far, he hasn't been benched yet. Frankly,

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I would bench him, but I don't think Belichick's ready

0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:01.480
<v Speaker 1>to yet, and because he's going to have starting grades

0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>over the course of the better part of the next month.

0:51:05.239 --> 0:51:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Sony Walkman Michelle is a flex player. Tough Question number

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 1>three with Melvin Gordon back. Going forward is Austin Ekeler

0:51:17.200 --> 0:51:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and RB one and r B two a flex or bench.

0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:24.240
<v Speaker 1>You may have noticed a theme riding through this particular

0:51:24.360 --> 0:51:27.200
<v Speaker 1>edition of Three Tough Questions. Brian is Austin Ekeler and

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:29.799
<v Speaker 1>RB one r B two flex or bench. This is

0:51:29.840 --> 0:51:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a very tough question, UM, real quick Equitler snaps have

0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:36.120
<v Speaker 1>gone down as the season is started, by the way

0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:39.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy three to sixty five. That was already discouraging before

0:51:39.640 --> 0:51:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the Melvin Gordon news that he's coming back. So Gordon's

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 1>coming back, as we all know, not this week or

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it could be this week, but more about this game.

0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:47.799
<v Speaker 1>But it will be a very limited role, of course,

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:49.759
<v Speaker 1>but you'd have to assume it's gonna be two to

0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:53.000
<v Speaker 1>three weeks before Gordon gets up to full speed, if ever,

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean missing training camp is not an ideal scenario

0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 1>for any any football player. UM. After this week against Miami,

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Equita could put up enough points to a finishes of

0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 1>flex without playing any more games too. But uh, let's

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:06.759
<v Speaker 1>just look at last year in the games Gordon and

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Ekela were both active. Gordon was about seventy the snap

0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:14.160
<v Speaker 1>share Ekeler was, and Ekeler was he was a flex

0:52:14.200 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>play a lot of weeks back then. The Chargers had

0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Tyrell Williams, they had Antonio Gates, the didn't have Hunter

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Henry Um. But they're just short on playmakers, way more

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 1>short than they were last year. So I think Ekeler

0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:27.799
<v Speaker 1>will find its way on the field a lot more

0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:31.400
<v Speaker 1>with the injuries to wide receiver. Mike Williams is consistently

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:34.600
<v Speaker 1>banged up. So I'm gonna say he maintains flex. He's

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:36.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be RB two for a while, RB one to

0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:38.680
<v Speaker 1>RB two then too a plateau of flex. So I'm

0:52:38.680 --> 0:52:44.240
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say flex. Okay, all right, Scott, I also

0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:48.080
<v Speaker 1>went with flex. Uh. Melvin Gordon has a very extreme

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:50.120
<v Speaker 1>history of game injured near the end of the season. Now,

0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:53.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe the short season, maybe this short season will

0:52:53.920 --> 0:52:56.160
<v Speaker 1>aid that, or maybe he will not be in quite

0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the same shape and it'll hurt it and he'll get

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:02.239
<v Speaker 1>injured again. But his points already, you're getting him up

0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in that area. I think he's still going to take snaps.

0:53:05.239 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 1>But here's my main concern with having Ekeler any higher.

0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they run the wheels off Cordon now because

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:15.040
<v Speaker 1>they they're not going to keep him later. That's that's

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.880
<v Speaker 1>my thought process. So I'm hesitant to even say flex.

0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:21.320
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you get him for one more RB one week,

0:53:21.400 --> 0:53:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and then it's gonna be rough going the rest of

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the season. You, my friend, have cracked the code. You're

0:53:27.120 --> 0:53:29.319
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. Gordon is going to be a free agent

0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:31.319
<v Speaker 1>at the end of this year. Chargers, No, they're not

0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:34.760
<v Speaker 1>bringing him back. They are gonna run him into the ground.

0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:38.359
<v Speaker 1>He's going to get the DeMarco Murray treatment. Remember when

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:41.680
<v Speaker 1>DeMarco Murray was charging every agency with Dallas. Dallas ran

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:45.120
<v Speaker 1>him into the ground and sent him packing. That's what's

0:53:45.160 --> 0:53:48.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen here with Melvin Gordon. Um Austin Ekeler. Look

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and as as the number one back, he's been great,

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:55.359
<v Speaker 1>but that's not gonna matter here. Melvin Gordon's gonna take

0:53:55.360 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 1>over the number one back and then he's gonna be great.

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe that we are going to see Austin Ekeler

0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:03.920
<v Speaker 1>as no more than a flex play the rest of

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the year, which is sad for his owners. OPI enjoyed

0:54:06.440 --> 0:54:08.719
<v Speaker 1>it all lasted. You've got four great games out of

0:54:08.760 --> 0:54:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Austin Ekeler. You're gonna get one coming this weekend, and

0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:14.400
<v Speaker 1>after that it's kind of over. At the price you

0:54:14.480 --> 0:54:16.839
<v Speaker 1>got him, you're happy. Yeah, I think you're right. He's

0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 1>probably powered you to three and oh or two and

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:22.920
<v Speaker 1>one right now because Zekeler was so good just with

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that alone. So do you go to the owner in

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:27.600
<v Speaker 1>your league that's oh and three and they just have

0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to win, and you just say, hey, here's Austin. You

0:54:30.480 --> 0:54:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the win. It's a great strategy. It is. I'm giving

0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you the win. You need to have a prayer at

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, so give me somebody good. Yeah, try to

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:44.160
<v Speaker 1>sell him before this game. That's it agreed. If we

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:45.399
<v Speaker 1>have time at the end of the show, I'm gonna

0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 1>ask you guys about some strategies on Sae Kwon Barkley

0:54:47.640 --> 0:54:49.399
<v Speaker 1>and what to do with him if you're if you're

0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:51.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking about trade, if you've got him and you need

0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:52.399
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of him, or if you were thinking

0:54:52.400 --> 0:54:55.960
<v Speaker 1>about acquiring him. Brian, let's turn to the Tennessee matchup.

0:54:56.120 --> 0:54:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You already told us that you kind of like out.

0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:00.040
<v Speaker 1>You like some elements in the passing game for on

0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the Sea, But I want to shift to Derrick Henry,

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>who feels like a mortal lock in this game. Yeah

0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:07.440
<v Speaker 1>he is. I'm gonna I'm gonna give him in a

0:55:07.680 --> 0:55:10.080
<v Speaker 1>even though he probably should get a b U. He

0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:13.359
<v Speaker 1>has outtouched Dion Lewis fifty five to fourteen to this point,

0:55:13.440 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 1>so he's be clear. Alpha back on roster. He's even

0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:19.399
<v Speaker 1>he even has more targets than Dion Lewis. Are you serious? Yes,

0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So we're not eve gonna talk about Dion anymore. He's

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.239
<v Speaker 1>on the bench in this game. Back to Henry, though,

0:55:24.280 --> 0:55:26.399
<v Speaker 1>this could be a tough matchup on the ground. Uh.

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook shredded the Falcons on the ground, but after that,

0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they held the Eagles and Colts backs to three point

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 1>one yards per carry over the last two weeks. And

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Falcons used to always give up catches

0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and bunches to running backs, but not so far this year. Really,

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:43.320
<v Speaker 1>no loan back has topped three receptions and niheim Hinz

0:55:43.680 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 1>is the only running back to top fifteen receiving yards

0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:48.360
<v Speaker 1>with like twenty four, So they're not giving up a

0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:49.960
<v Speaker 1>ton through the air. But I'm still giving Henry in

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 1>a don't Yeah he's he's an a. Yeah, he's an A.

0:55:53.960 --> 0:55:57.800
<v Speaker 1>The other two workhorse backs that have faced Atlanta, Dalvin

0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Cook Marlon Mack giant games with I think they may

0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:04.960
<v Speaker 1>have each scored twice or twice. They have three between them,

0:56:04.960 --> 0:56:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe, so I I see another big game comment

0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for Derrick Henry. I like him more than you did.

0:56:09.640 --> 0:56:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I just get nervous when I I have so much

0:56:11.360 --> 0:56:14.200
<v Speaker 1>confidence in Derrick Henry every time you think you're gonna

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 1>be okay. I have a lot of confidence in Delaney

0:56:16.880 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Walker to The Falcons have allowed to combine seventeen tight

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.319
<v Speaker 1>end receptions over the last two weeks, and again they

0:56:22.400 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 1>lost starting safety Kian O'Neill, which boots very well for

0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Delaney Walker is an easy start this week in the

0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:29.920
<v Speaker 1>tight end late Wasteland probably more like an A but

0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you're starting them either way. You are not starting Corey

0:56:32.600 --> 0:56:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Davis and A J. Brown. They've combined for thirteen catches

0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:39.880
<v Speaker 1>all season long. That's it. That's it, unbelievable, unbelievable. When

0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:41.799
<v Speaker 1>A J. Brown was a thing in Week one, Yeah,

0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that was one long catch though he had three for

0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:45.839
<v Speaker 1>a hundred. It was just like one of fluky long catch.

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:48.000
<v Speaker 1>The wide receiver you want to start for Tennessee is

0:56:48.040 --> 0:56:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Adam Humphries, who was might take a chance on me

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.279
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver, and Marcus Mariotta was MNNA take a chance

0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>on me quarterback. Heaven helped me. I'm going Batman and

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Robin with the Titans, but I like them both in

0:56:57.320 --> 0:57:01.400
<v Speaker 1>this matchup. On the past turf over uh Anna. Julio Jones.

0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Easy A has scored in seventh straight and has twelve

0:57:04.800 --> 0:57:07.160
<v Speaker 1>total touchdowns over his last twelve games going back to

0:57:07.239 --> 0:57:10.080
<v Speaker 1>last season. I'm not going to justify that start anymore.

0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Calvin Ridley gets a b came down to earth last week,

0:57:13.400 --> 0:57:16.120
<v Speaker 1>but a great spot for a bounce back game, especially

0:57:16.160 --> 0:57:19.080
<v Speaker 1>considering dirt. Kedder said Ridley could see the squeaky wheel

0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.640
<v Speaker 1>treatment this week. We always that it was there some

0:57:21.680 --> 0:57:23.480
<v Speaker 1>squeaking that I didn't hear about. I guess he was

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:25.400
<v Speaker 1>being a little squeaky behind the wheels, or maybe he

0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:29.840
<v Speaker 1>missed understood the squeaky wheel treatment. He probably maybe he

0:57:30.040 --> 0:57:32.640
<v Speaker 1>heard the wheels in Ridley's head, but that Ridley was

0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:36.000
<v Speaker 1>outspoken about it. Really, but the outside corners Malcolm Butler

0:57:36.040 --> 0:57:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and Dorry Jackson both allowed quarterback rating north of a hundred.

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:41.440
<v Speaker 1>They are not that great. Who is pretty good is

0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Logan Ryan, the slot corner for the Titans. So Mohammed

0:57:43.960 --> 0:57:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Sanu was on the bench, but Austin Hooper is not.

0:57:46.240 --> 0:57:48.920
<v Speaker 1>He's basically a top five tight end right now, and

0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the Titans have not fared well against tight ends this year.

0:57:51.720 --> 0:57:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh four catches thirty seven yards and a touchdown to

0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the Browns tight ends five, six and one to the

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Colts tight ends and three and one to the Jaguars

0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 1>tight ends this week. So touchdowns in every game. Gotta

0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like Hooper, and you gotta like Matt Ryan. With Julio

0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Ridley and Hooper getting very positive grades. Not gonna go

0:58:09.160 --> 0:58:11.240
<v Speaker 1>too deep into that one. Yeah, but if we like

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:13.920
<v Speaker 1>all of receivers, obviously we like Matt Ryan, yep. But

0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:17.240
<v Speaker 1>we do not like DeVonta Freeman. So Edo Smith might

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:20.400
<v Speaker 1>not play. Uh, I think he's going with the concussion.

0:58:20.440 --> 0:58:22.640
<v Speaker 1>So let's assume he does. And I'm still giving Freeman

0:58:22.680 --> 0:58:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the see. After allowing just seven rushing touchdowns to running

0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:30.040
<v Speaker 1>backs last year, Tennessee still dominant against the run. Running

0:58:30.040 --> 0:58:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Backs have just scored once on the ground so far.

0:58:32.080 --> 0:58:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Mack had only fifty one yards on twenty carries.

0:58:35.240 --> 0:58:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Leonard four Nette sixty six yards on fifteen carries. One

0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of those carries one for six exactly. Its negative the

0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:43.880
<v Speaker 1>rest of the game. You know what, I'm benching DeVonta Freeman.

0:58:43.880 --> 0:58:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I've changed my mind. I don't care if he does out.

0:58:45.560 --> 0:58:49.760
<v Speaker 1>He's on the bench. Play t J Yelton every week.

<v Speaker 1>slash chart. Let's talk about the first indoor game for

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes since entering the NFL since college. Yeah, his

1:00:19.720 --> 1:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>last one he had liked, and probably yeah uh is

1:00:25.640 --> 1:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>at Detroit for this one, and Mahomes and Kelsey or

1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>auto starts their obvious a's let's drill down on some

1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of the trickier starts in this matchup and it will

1:00:34.680 --> 1:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>stay with the passing game. Where Sammy Watkins gets a

1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>B he's commanding a massive twenty eight percent target share.

1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's really critical to understand is this passing game

1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>still largely goes to Sammy Watkins. And I know he's

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>been mostly disappointing since Week one and you didn't even

1:00:49.160 --> 1:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>start him in week one and all probability for many

1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>of you. Nevertheless, this is a nice matchup. He runs

1:00:54.720 --> 1:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>forty six of his snaps from the slot, and the

1:00:57.840 --> 1:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Lions cornerback Justin Coleman was just eviscerated by two scores

1:01:02.360 --> 1:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>by Nelson Agilar and he's yielded three scores on the season.

1:01:06.560 --> 1:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>So I I think this is a very good opportunity

1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for Sammy Watkins to bounce back to something closer what

1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>we saw in week one. He is a B grade

1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Mi coole hardman with all that speed on the fast

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>surface indoors against Detroit. I like him. He also runs

1:01:22.240 --> 1:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the majority of his runs from the slot. He can

1:01:25.880 --> 1:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>also attack Justin Coleman if he's got Coleman on his side,

1:01:29.840 --> 1:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and so there's another good opportunity for him. He's averaging

1:01:32.560 --> 1:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty snaps a game. Kole Hardman, He's on the field

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>a ton, plenty of opportunities to score. I like him

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to bring in a long, long touchdown in this game.

1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>And then there's de Marcus Robinson. He is a place

1:01:44.520 --> 1:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>on the outside, so that means he's going for the

1:01:46.560 --> 1:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>sleigh ride this week. It's Darius Slay who's been very

1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>good as usual. He's allowing just fifty two of the

1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>passes in his coverage to be completed. And the other

1:01:55.080 --> 1:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>outside corner Rashaan Melvin's also been really good. So DeMarcus

1:01:59.080 --> 1:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Robinson just a great here. And honestly, if it were

1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>any other offense and any other quarterback, I'd probably tell

1:02:04.160 --> 1:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you to benjam just just a reminder Darius is questionable.

1:02:08.280 --> 1:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So well, we'll watch his staff keep an eye on that,

1:02:10.800 --> 1:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>if you have to, Marcus. Now, if Slay doesn't go well,

1:02:13.440 --> 1:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll knock mark DeMarcus Robinson up to a B grade.

1:02:16.080 --> 1:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>But he's a sea as it stands at the moment.

1:02:18.200 --> 1:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the running game, Lashawn McCoy. The Lions

1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>giving up one hundred seventy total yards per game to

1:02:24.560 --> 1:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>opposing running backs. They're allowing a score in every game

1:02:27.840 --> 1:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>this year. Even the moribund Eagles carouself backs put up

1:02:31.960 --> 1:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a hundred sixty three yards and a score in Detroit.

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's plenty to go around here. Even if Lashawn

1:02:36.880 --> 1:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>McCoy is stuck in a time share with Darryl Williams

1:02:38.840 --> 1:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that she probably is, McCoy gets a be so does

1:02:41.520 --> 1:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Williams for many of the same reasons here, And

1:02:44.440 --> 1:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>last week he got more snaps than McCoy, he's healthier

1:02:47.280 --> 1:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>than McCoy, he got more carries the McCoy more targets,

1:02:49.800 --> 1:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>more receptions. So darry Williams might even be the better

1:02:52.440 --> 1:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>play than McCoy. And if at some point McCoy's uh

1:02:56.040 --> 1:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>ankle injury ends up being a bigger problem than who knows,

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>McCoy might hit the bench. So I think I prefer

1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Darryl McCoy, although he give them both bees. Let's go

1:03:03.920 --> 1:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>to the Detroit side. We spent a lot of time

1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about carry on Johnson a little bit ago. He's

1:03:12.520 --> 1:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>getting just two point six yards per carry, which is

1:03:14.800 --> 1:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>deflating um and he's top fifty one rushing yards just

1:03:17.640 --> 1:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>once once in the last seven games. But the Chiefs

1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>are just mauled by mark Ingram and Gus Edwards for

1:03:22.760 --> 1:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a hundred fifty six yards and three scores. And Kansas

1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>City is allowed to touchdown to an opposing runner in

1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:31.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty two of their last twenty nine games. That's that

1:03:32.080 --> 1:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>is what we call a trend. So I think Karrion

1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Johnson finds a way to be productive here and he

1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>gets a B grade. Let's go to the passing game.

1:03:39.000 --> 1:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford with a B grade. The chief secondary has

1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>stymied two straight quarterbacks, which is impressive, but they were

1:03:45.120 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>facing two very thin sets of receivers in Oakland and Baltimore.

1:03:50.600 --> 1:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Lions have got far better receivers, averaging just thirty two

1:03:53.960 --> 1:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>tempts in regulation. Matthew Stafford is volume has been a

1:03:58.240 --> 1:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>concern here, but I think that won't be a him

1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>against the Chiefs offense because you had got a pass

1:04:02.040 --> 1:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to keep up with the Chiefs, right. So I like Stafford,

1:04:05.520 --> 1:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I like Holiday, and I like Marvin Jones who was

1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>might take a chance on me wide receiver. Let's talk

1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>about Kenny Gollady, who also gets a B in this one.

1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>He will go up against Chief's corner chart various ward

1:04:14.280 --> 1:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the most and words giving up three inches and twenty

1:04:17.280 --> 1:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>pounds to Golliday who's a big dude, and he's giving

1:04:20.480 --> 1:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>up a sixty seven percent completion rate through three games.

1:04:23.360 --> 1:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>So I like holiday here at a B level. Then

1:04:25.840 --> 1:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>there's t J Hockinson who's frustrated a lot of people.

1:04:28.440 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>But guys last week touched on, called back and penalty

1:04:31.400 --> 1:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>scanned dropped a dropped touchdown pass for t J. Hockenson.

1:04:35.400 --> 1:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's not give up on the rookie quite yet. The

1:04:38.600 --> 1:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs have allowed the most receptions to opposing tight ends,

1:04:42.000 --> 1:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the fourth most yards to opposing tight ends. T J.

1:04:44.640 --> 1:04:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Hockenson can turn it around here. Chiefs are a bottom

1:04:47.320 --> 1:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>half defense and yards per reception allowed to tight ends.

1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So we're all that together. I think we can go

1:04:53.080 --> 1:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to war with t J. Hockenson one more time. Let's

1:04:55.040 --> 1:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. So I have will dis Leean Hockinson

1:04:57.680 --> 1:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>in a tight two tight end league league with you charge.

1:04:59.880 --> 1:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>But Darren Waller, who's obviously auto start. But I've played

1:05:02.640 --> 1:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the wrong guy between and Hawkins and every week. I

1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>bet you gotta go Disley this week. But now I'm

1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking Hawkinson. Really, I don't charge. Maybe I've seen Waller.

1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>No not, I'll talk about I don't think. I don't

1:05:14.000 --> 1:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>think you can. All right, let's go back to the matchup,

1:05:16.720 --> 1:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Seattle taking on Arizona. Scott, do you want to start

1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>with Will Disley? Uh? Wait, since we're talking tight ends

1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and we're talking Will Disley, we never start a match

1:05:25.040 --> 1:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>up with Disley talk no tight end? No, but do it.

1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's my take a chance on me player. Arizona is terrible,

1:05:31.520 --> 1:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>terrible against tight ends. The Giants that gave up a

1:05:33.960 --> 1:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdown every week two years ago, they just transferred it

1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to Arizona for this year apparently. Uh. In that passing game, though,

1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Arizona is terrible against the past in general. Right now

1:05:43.480 --> 1:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>with Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford still both out. Uh

1:05:47.280 --> 1:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm giving Wilson an a grade here that the

1:05:50.120 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks are normally very run heavy, but they're passing a

1:05:53.160 --> 1:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>lot more. Wilson's on pace for five passestempts this year

1:05:57.280 --> 1:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>at this point. He had fifty last week average in

1:06:00.360 --> 1:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>over three yards per game. The Cards allowing the third

1:06:02.880 --> 1:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>most passing yards, second most passing touchdowns. Gave Kyle Allen

1:06:06.520 --> 1:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a career game, so I'm loving the passing game. Tyler

1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Lockett a grade as well. He had never had double

1:06:13.560 --> 1:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>digit targets in his in his career before this year.

1:06:16.640 --> 1:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>He's had double digit receptions in two strange He's my

1:06:20.800 --> 1:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>number one ranked wide receiver this week. I don't blame you.

1:06:23.600 --> 1:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't blame you. Dk Metkiff seems to find find

1:06:27.560 --> 1:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>his way to a big play every week. I think

1:06:29.720 --> 1:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>this is a matchup it happens again. BE grade for him. Carson,

1:06:33.200 --> 1:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving a C grade. I think Penny's gonna be

1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>out again. He only saw fifteen touches last week. With

1:06:37.760 --> 1:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Penny out, I think that's probably about what he'll see

1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>this week because I think it's gonna be more of

1:06:41.520 --> 1:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>an aerial game. On the Arizona side. Kyler Murray, I

1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>am giving and a grade to be grade, Okay, I

1:06:50.760 --> 1:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to see your face if I gave That's

1:06:54.040 --> 1:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>why I pause. I'm giving him a B grade. B

1:06:56.720 --> 1:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>grade to the Seahawks have allowed multiple touchdown passes every game.

1:07:01.680 --> 1:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Every week this year um significantly fewer yards, though, and

1:07:05.880 --> 1:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>part of that is because they had faced Mason Rodolphin

1:07:09.280 --> 1:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater. Kyler Murray averages fifteen more attempts per game

1:07:14.480 --> 1:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>than those two combined for against the Seahawks. So he's

1:07:18.080 --> 1:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna pass it. He passes over forty times a game.

1:07:20.320 --> 1:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna get something. Then leading pastor by attempts. Oh,

1:07:23.640 --> 1:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. They're they're

1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>leading in plays per game by like ten or something.

1:07:29.600 --> 1:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. Uh, Dalton had a bunch of garbage time.

1:07:32.680 --> 1:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Murray can get that here. Uh, Fitzgerald and Kirk.

1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving Fitzgerald and a grade and Kirk a B grade.

1:07:38.440 --> 1:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's why they picked up Jamar Taylor after we two.

1:07:41.200 --> 1:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna get Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald. There's the Seattle's two starting

1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>safeties are likely out as well, so that do and

1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>when the Cardinals go four wide, they're really going to

1:07:51.960 --> 1:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>spread Seattle thin in the secondary. I think they all

1:07:55.720 --> 1:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the time, all the time. They're two leading receivers, fitz

1:07:59.640 --> 1:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>receiver exactly. So. So with Kyler Murray having sixty of

1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>his targets go to the slot. I like both of them.

1:08:06.680 --> 1:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>A and B grade there, d J David Johnson B

1:08:09.320 --> 1:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>grade here sales allowing fewer than sixty yards rushing per

1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>game too, and they faced Mixing and Connor and Camara

1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>some some good good backs, but Martin Kamara were able

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to add six plus receptions each and and some good

1:08:23.280 --> 1:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>games there. I think David Johnson might get that there,

1:08:25.960 --> 1:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>even though Murray hasn't been passing to him a whole lot.

1:08:29.880 --> 1:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that he might get that passing game work

1:08:31.920 --> 1:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>in this one. All right, that makes sense. Tampa takes

1:08:35.200 --> 1:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>on the l A Rams Bryan. I already told you

1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I like Ronald Jones, but wouldn't be surprised. We had

1:08:39.640 --> 1:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a decent game from Peyton Barber in this one as

1:08:42.040 --> 1:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>as well. Rams, very very good past defense and a

1:08:45.760 --> 1:08:49.519
<v Speaker 1>lukewarm run defense. Jamis Winston though coming and Mike Evans

1:08:49.520 --> 1:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>coming off the gigantic game last week? What do you

1:08:51.800 --> 1:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>make of this one? So this is uh? I have

1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to give a shout out to Mike tag Leare you

1:08:56.640 --> 1:09:01.839
<v Speaker 1>say that right? Who brought to light the the splits

1:09:01.880 --> 1:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>since the beginning of last season when a keep to

1:09:03.800 --> 1:09:07.599
<v Speaker 1>leave plays and when he does not. It's huge differences.

1:09:07.680 --> 1:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>In the eleven games with the keep to leave on

1:09:09.479 --> 1:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the field, the Rams are allowing two ten passing yards,

1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>three game and point seven touchdowns and one point four interceptions.

1:09:16.560 --> 1:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Eight games without three hundred passing yards, two point nine

1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and under an interception per game keep to leaves playing.

1:09:24.160 --> 1:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>So Jameis Winson is on the bench for me in

1:09:25.880 --> 1:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>this game, and uh, Mike Evans is not on the bench,

1:09:29.120 --> 1:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>But don't expect a big game from Evans like he

1:09:31.320 --> 1:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>had last week. UM. Opposing number one wide receivers have

1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>been serviceable against the Rams. Dj Moore seven catches for

1:09:37.800 --> 1:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy six, Michael Thomas ten for eighty nine. Beckham had

1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>six for fifty six, none scored. That's kind of the

1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ceiling you're looking at with with Evans in this game.

1:09:46.040 --> 1:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So he gets to be UM and those wide receivers

1:09:49.040 --> 1:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>can find for thirty two targets. By the way, that's

1:09:51.040 --> 1:09:52.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of targets and not a ton of production

1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:56.439
<v Speaker 1>or touchdowns. UM, Chris Godwin can give him a c

1:09:56.880 --> 1:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>he will play. There was some concern with a hip injury,

1:09:59.720 --> 1:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>but he return to practice on Friday, so we should

1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>be good to go. But number two wide receivers have

1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:06.439
<v Speaker 1>fair far worse than number ones. And if you want

1:10:06.439 --> 1:10:08.599
<v Speaker 1>to say Godwin's the number one and Evans isn't, then

1:10:08.960 --> 1:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>there is your argument. But I like Evans more than Godwin.

1:10:11.160 --> 1:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>In this game. He is questionable, but I think he

1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>will play, but reaggrevating that injury is also concerned. So

1:10:17.320 --> 1:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>just to see for him this week, O J. Howard, Uh,

1:10:20.280 --> 1:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>he's on the bench for me this week. Did show

1:10:22.439 --> 1:10:25.599
<v Speaker 1>signs of life life last week with sixty six yards,

1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>but that was against the Giants. The Rams defense is

1:10:28.240 --> 1:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>much better than the Giants defense. Opposing tight ends have

1:10:31.479 --> 1:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>been shut down against l A totally, just seventy seven

1:10:34.120 --> 1:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>yards on eight catches all year long. O J. Is

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna be doing a ton of blocking in this game,

1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of pass catching. Uh. Peyton Barber I

1:10:42.400 --> 1:10:44.719
<v Speaker 1>have on the bench. He was outtouched by Ronald Jones

1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>last week. And Dario gun Boal has also eaten into

1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>his playing time and f y i Ogun has more

1:10:51.280 --> 1:10:54.439
<v Speaker 1>has run more pass routes than Barber and Jones combined

1:10:54.880 --> 1:10:59.479
<v Speaker 1>this season. And the Rams should jump out and early

1:10:59.560 --> 1:11:01.760
<v Speaker 1>lead in this one. So the game script is this

1:11:01.840 --> 1:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>not in Barbara's favor in this one, Ronald Jones, is

1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>your take a chance of running back Church. I will

1:11:07.680 --> 1:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>stand by you with that one. I would give him

1:11:10.120 --> 1:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. I'll give him a C grade. Um

1:11:12.760 --> 1:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and Ogumboala on the bench as well. Um over to

1:11:15.680 --> 1:11:18.519
<v Speaker 1>the ram side, Todd Gurley begrudgingly, I'll give him a

1:11:18.600 --> 1:11:21.439
<v Speaker 1>bus only average three point five yards per carry over

1:11:21.479 --> 1:11:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks, and those have been pretty good matchups.

1:11:24.280 --> 1:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>He has in top twenty touches. Yet he has just

1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>eight receiving yards on six targets. And Tampa Bay secondary

1:11:30.600 --> 1:11:33.599
<v Speaker 1>is so bad they're practically funneling the opposition to the past.

1:11:33.960 --> 1:11:37.719
<v Speaker 1>They're just like here, go ahead. The opponents are passing

1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>nearly seventy of the time against Tampa Bay. You know,

1:11:40.640 --> 1:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm Brown is a factor even though he's on the

1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>bench in this one, because it's all about the passing

1:11:44.439 --> 1:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>game for me. But I'm just gonna I'll give him

1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Gurley a B on name brand. But don't be surprised

1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>with the sea level production. I think I think he

1:11:51.240 --> 1:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>might chip in some receptions. I will help that certainly

1:11:54.160 --> 1:11:56.759
<v Speaker 1>would help his cause. Um who will chip in receptions?

1:11:56.800 --> 1:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Are the wide receivers. I'm not gonna go too deep

1:11:58.720 --> 1:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>into this one. They're all premium starts. I'll just say

1:12:01.120 --> 1:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>really quick. Preseason, he was Robert Woods, Brandon Cook's Cooper

1:12:04.960 --> 1:12:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Cup in that order, right Yeah, Cup number one stays

1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in the middle and Woods at the bottom. I know

1:12:11.120 --> 1:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Fish and I were way off Cup. I was way

1:12:13.320 --> 1:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>wrong there. I'm sorry, Cooper. I loved Cup last year.

1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I did not have faith he'd be able to come

1:12:17.120 --> 1:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>back from that injury. We all liked Cup, but I

1:12:19.200 --> 1:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>think we we we all all were sure about the injury,

1:12:22.080 --> 1:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and just was was he gonna miss? Was he gonna

1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>take him a month to ramp up with? Fifth? Was

1:12:26.400 --> 1:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>my problem? Yeah? By the way, Cups from my number

1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>three wide receiver. This week he gets the A. He's

1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that top five wide receiver right now, he gets an

1:12:33.320 --> 1:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>easy A. Cook's Woods, Uh, solid Bees, and then Jared

1:12:37.000 --> 1:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Goff gets an A. He's the new Drew Brees and

1:12:39.479 --> 1:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger. When it comes to home road splits, this

1:12:42.760 --> 1:12:45.439
<v Speaker 1>game is at home. We also at Dan Jones did

1:12:45.600 --> 1:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to the Bucks last week. And uh, this one stat

1:12:48.360 --> 1:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>per Sports Info Solutions that I got via Evan Silva.

1:12:51.880 --> 1:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Goth has a seventeen to two touchdown to interception ratio

1:12:55.960 --> 1:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>versus man coverage compared to fourteen to twelve against zone,

1:13:00.000 --> 1:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and Tampa Bay's defensive coordinator, Todd Bowels, is running man

1:13:03.320 --> 1:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>coverage at least at the fourth highest rate in the

1:13:05.840 --> 1:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>league right now. So that bowls, how about bowls? Bowls?

1:13:10.600 --> 1:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Are pretty sure it's going Todd. Have you never mispronounced

1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the name on the show, never accidentally pronounced a name

1:13:21.160 --> 1:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that would then turn a guy into a butt? Well?

1:13:23.280 --> 1:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I did on purpose as jokay, Maybe I wish

1:13:25.320 --> 1:13:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I did have been funnier that that probably would have

1:13:27.520 --> 1:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>been funnier. Um. I think that was about it for

1:13:30.120 --> 1:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>that matchup. Anyway, Our final topics are ahead. When we

1:13:33.640 --> 1:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>provide you with three guys we will believe will be

1:13:35.960 --> 1:13:40.599
<v Speaker 1>hot waiver wire pickups next week that you can grab

1:13:40.960 --> 1:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>this week. It's our time machine addition that we like

1:13:43.960 --> 1:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to call premature speculation, and it's happening next whether you're

<v Speaker 1>If you missed anything part of the show It's a

1:14:21.720 --> 1:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>great way to recap all of the player information that

1:14:24.439 --> 1:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to hear. Premature speculation is probably the most

1:14:27.720 --> 1:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>popular segment we have on this entire show, in which

1:14:31.400 --> 1:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>we try to identify players you want to pick up

1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:36.519
<v Speaker 1>this week off the waiver wire that will be hot

1:14:36.560 --> 1:14:40.879
<v Speaker 1>pickups next week. But Blamo, they're already on your team. Blamo,

1:14:40.960 --> 1:14:47.479
<v Speaker 1>We've decided, is the official sound of premature speculation. Guys, Brian,

1:14:47.640 --> 1:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>let's start with you. Upon whom are you premature speculating?

1:14:52.720 --> 1:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Rechard. I feel like I always talked about j

1:14:55.360 --> 1:14:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Lyn re Shard every year on the show. I wish

1:14:57.479 --> 1:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you'd stop, and that percentage has gone up from six

1:15:00.960 --> 1:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>in week one to in week two to last week

1:15:05.000 --> 1:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>he actually out snapped Josh Jacobs in a blowout loss

1:15:08.160 --> 1:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>to the Vikings, and that could very well happen again

1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:14.519
<v Speaker 1>in Indianapolis this week. Actually looking at the Raider schedule,

1:15:14.560 --> 1:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they could get blown out in every week. It's not

1:15:17.160 --> 1:15:20.759
<v Speaker 1>that too far fetched, especially in their next five games

1:15:21.040 --> 1:15:23.759
<v Speaker 1>following this week against Indy, they all look like scripts

1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>are games that will be scripted for Richard Um versus Chicago,

1:15:27.640 --> 1:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>then at green Bay at Houston, versus Detroit a great

1:15:31.200 --> 1:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>run defense, and the then versus the Chargers another solid

1:15:34.320 --> 1:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>run defense. So running back usage is a trend you

1:15:37.400 --> 1:15:39.519
<v Speaker 1>should watch. And Richard is trending up, so he will

1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>be relevant in PPR league sooner than later, probably this week. Okay,

1:15:43.320 --> 1:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a boring priest back here from me, Chuck,

1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Golden take comes off his suspension. Uh, you might want

1:15:50.479 --> 1:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>to get him this week before people, before people try

1:15:53.600 --> 1:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to get him next week comes off his suspension after

1:15:56.040 --> 1:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>this week. That Giant's team, they got Golman running the

1:15:59.720 --> 1:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>ball and they have not a lot of warm bodies

1:16:02.160 --> 1:16:04.599
<v Speaker 1>at wide receiver, and Danny Times is dealing a little bit.

1:16:04.720 --> 1:16:08.559
<v Speaker 1>So Golden Tate, I think Golden Tate's um I think

1:16:09.680 --> 1:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>reasonably competent fantasy leaks have already got him taken. But

1:16:13.479 --> 1:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of casual leagues out there that people

1:16:15.400 --> 1:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>aren't paying attention. And Golden Tate is going to hit

1:16:17.760 --> 1:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the news like Tuesday of next week when he comes

1:16:21.280 --> 1:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>shows up for practice for the first time and people

1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>are like, Oh, it's gonna do Golden Tate's back, and

1:16:24.920 --> 1:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll he'll you will already have him. Now I have

1:16:29.080 --> 1:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>two premature speculations. One is not is not likely to

1:16:33.120 --> 1:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>be a scenario in your league. But if anybody drops

1:16:35.320 --> 1:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo because of the bye week, go get him.

1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got a lot better over the course of the

1:16:40.000 --> 1:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>three weeks. But I'm assuming he's gone in your league

1:16:42.400 --> 1:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's not going to be dropped. I'm going back

1:16:45.040 --> 1:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to the guy I gave you in week one, Richard Higgins,

1:16:48.280 --> 1:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>who unfortunately he's been hurt ever since Week one. But

1:16:52.800 --> 1:16:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and I know the Cleveland offense isn't go in the

1:16:54.520 --> 1:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>right direction, but we're buying low and you know they

1:16:58.240 --> 1:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>lost David and Joko. They need an a big, warm,

1:17:01.320 --> 1:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>big bodied receiver. That's for Shard Higgins. Um, they can't

1:17:05.000 --> 1:17:07.599
<v Speaker 1>keep funneling everything to oh b J. I liked him,

1:17:07.640 --> 1:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>then I'm gonna go back to the well. Now he's

1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:12.639
<v Speaker 1>available virtually every league and uh, and you can get

1:17:12.680 --> 1:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Richard Higgins before he comes back and potentially has a

1:17:15.200 --> 1:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>good game, although I don't think even if he plays

1:17:17.240 --> 1:17:18.639
<v Speaker 1>this week, and I don't think he does, he would

1:17:18.680 --> 1:17:21.479
<v Speaker 1>have a good game here. But I still like Shard Higgins.

1:17:21.520 --> 1:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Long term pick came up and play let's go, but

1:17:23.920 --> 1:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>get into our final matchups, beginning with Dallas taking on

1:17:28.200 --> 1:17:31.559
<v Speaker 1>the New Orleans Saints. Zeke is an obviously because the

1:17:31.560 --> 1:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Saints run defense guys so good last year and so

1:17:36.120 --> 1:17:38.840
<v Speaker 1>not good this year. It's weird. They're giving up five

1:17:38.960 --> 1:17:41.760
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry. Last year they were number one in

1:17:41.800 --> 1:17:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the league at three and a half yards per carry.

1:17:43.760 --> 1:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge differential. Remember last year they were coming

1:17:46.280 --> 1:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>off the year or their their past defense was shut down.

1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:51.360
<v Speaker 1>But then last year the past defense went to the

1:17:51.360 --> 1:17:55.559
<v Speaker 1>garbage but go figure um in three games, four backs

1:17:55.560 --> 1:17:58.519
<v Speaker 1>of top fifty yards against the Saints, Elliott leads the

1:17:58.560 --> 1:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>league and red zone rushing it tempts and yards. He's

1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:04.719
<v Speaker 1>an A grade. Dak Prescott A grade another another potential

1:18:04.760 --> 1:18:07.160
<v Speaker 1>good game for him. Here. New Orleans has allowed ten

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>quarterback touchdowns. Only Miami has allowed more than ten, four

1:18:12.040 --> 1:18:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of those ten on the ground of quarterbacks. They've given

1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>up a quarterback rushing touchdown in every game the Saints have.

1:18:18.320 --> 1:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Here comes Dak Prescott, one of the most mobile, fleet

1:18:20.840 --> 1:18:23.479
<v Speaker 1>footed quarterbacks out there. If he does not run you

1:18:23.560 --> 1:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>to fantasy victory, he could pass his way there for you.

1:18:27.520 --> 1:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Which brings me to Amari Cooper, who also gets an

1:18:30.040 --> 1:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>A grade. He should be able to play through an

1:18:32.040 --> 1:18:35.679
<v Speaker 1>ankle injury. He's been arguably Fantasy Football's best wide receiver

1:18:35.760 --> 1:18:38.759
<v Speaker 1>this year, with touchdowns in every game. Saints cornerback Marshawn

1:18:38.800 --> 1:18:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Latimer shadowed Cooper when these two met last season. Cooper

1:18:43.880 --> 1:18:48.639
<v Speaker 1>went eight targets eight receptions in that game. So far

1:18:48.760 --> 1:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>this year, Lattimore has allowed three hundred forty one yards

1:18:52.240 --> 1:18:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in his coverage. That's worst in the league. Marshawn Lattimore

1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:59.719
<v Speaker 1>looked like he was one of the most promising young

1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>cornerbacks in the NFL two years ago. Now he's allowed

1:19:03.920 --> 1:19:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the most yard in the league. UH A grade for

1:19:06.960 --> 1:19:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Marie Cooper. Let's talk about Randall Cobb. He was might

1:19:10.640 --> 1:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>take a chance to me wide receiver last week and

1:19:13.080 --> 1:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>had a seventies six yard touchdown called back on penalty.

1:19:17.080 --> 1:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I hate it when that happens. He draws an exploitable

1:19:20.640 --> 1:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>matchup in the slot against p. J. Williams, who's a

1:19:23.000 --> 1:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>huge gambler. If p. J. William Williams, Society's gonna try to,

1:19:27.360 --> 1:19:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, stretch out for an interception, doesn't get there. Whatever,

1:19:30.760 --> 1:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Randall Cobbs startable in this game with a C grade

1:19:33.400 --> 1:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Jason Witten also see grade here. The Saints just gave

1:19:35.800 --> 1:19:37.759
<v Speaker 1>up sixty two yards and a score to Will Disley,

1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:40.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's the most yards they'd allowed to the position

1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in two years. Witten has scored in two of three

1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:45.280
<v Speaker 1>games this year, and he's supposed to a solid fifty

1:19:45.320 --> 1:19:48.080
<v Speaker 1>four yards in the other one. Let's go to the

1:19:48.400 --> 1:19:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Saints side for the first time in I can't remember

1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:56.360
<v Speaker 1>how long I'm gonna talk about two and the only

1:19:56.400 --> 1:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>two relevant Saints. That's it. It's Michael Thomas who gets

1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:07.519
<v Speaker 1>a B grade. Teddy Bridgewater's passing even more discouraging. Well,

1:20:07.560 --> 1:20:10.240
<v Speaker 1>let me go first and you go second. Did not

1:20:10.320 --> 1:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>throw a pass longer than fifteen yards completed nine He

1:20:14.200 --> 1:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>had nineteen completed passes last week. Two of them were

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>for more than nine yards. Well, that makes sense with

1:20:20.720 --> 1:20:23.559
<v Speaker 1>my stat his average depth of target, like how far

1:20:23.640 --> 1:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>he throws it on average three point three yards. It's unbelievable.

1:20:28.600 --> 1:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>It's it's staggering. So Michael Thomas can only get so

1:20:31.320 --> 1:20:33.360
<v Speaker 1>much done. I believe that was Mike tag Leer. Also,

1:20:33.400 --> 1:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I like to credit he needs some time. Teddy's still

1:20:36.000 --> 1:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>younger than Carson Wentz. Did you know that does he

1:20:38.080 --> 1:20:43.400
<v Speaker 1>really now? So back to Michael Thomas, likely to struggle

1:20:43.400 --> 1:20:46.400
<v Speaker 1>against the Cowboys secondary that's allowed the seventh fewest yards,

1:20:46.479 --> 1:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>just two touchdowns and wide receivers. He mostly runs on

1:20:49.200 --> 1:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the outside and that puts him on two very good

1:20:50.920 --> 1:20:54.839
<v Speaker 1>cornerbacks Byron Jones and Hidobi a Woozy. I think Michael Thomas,

1:20:55.080 --> 1:20:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I think a B grade might be generous here, and

1:20:58.960 --> 1:21:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing it mostly on volume of catches. Then. The

1:21:03.960 --> 1:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>only other guy to talk about for the Saints, of course,

1:21:05.880 --> 1:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>is Alvin Camara, who's in A grade pretty much every week.

1:21:08.320 --> 1:21:10.360
<v Speaker 1>And in his first full game with Teddy, he took

1:21:10.400 --> 1:21:14.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five of the offenses forty two touches, he was

1:21:14.640 --> 1:21:21.120
<v Speaker 1>nine receptions, ninety two receiving yards, any air touchdown UM

1:21:21.240 --> 1:21:23.639
<v Speaker 1>last week. That's his best in a year and basically

1:21:23.640 --> 1:21:26.280
<v Speaker 1>all of those categories. And if we threw out the Dolphins,

1:21:26.280 --> 1:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of wish with the NFL would throughout

1:21:27.840 --> 1:21:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins, Dallas has allowed a rushing touchdown to backs

1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>in five straight games. So Alvin Cameric gets an A.

1:21:32.800 --> 1:21:36.960
<v Speaker 1>We were all wrong on Murray. No, I wasn't totally off.

1:21:37.160 --> 1:21:40.519
<v Speaker 1>That was totally off. Harrison was wrong on Davis Murray

1:21:40.760 --> 1:21:48.559
<v Speaker 1>used in the sleeper. Yes, Jacksonville at Denver Scott. This

1:21:48.720 --> 1:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>is a game in which football will be kind of

1:21:52.360 --> 1:21:55.439
<v Speaker 1>playing somewhat. You will there will be a pigskin involved

1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in this game. Leonard four Nett had negative yardage until

1:21:58.840 --> 1:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>he broke the sixty nine yard touchdown not touchdown, six

1:22:01.439 --> 1:22:03.920
<v Speaker 1>nine yard run last week. And I would love it

1:22:03.920 --> 1:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>if you would just predict a negative yardage game here.

1:22:06.080 --> 1:22:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I cannot do that. I'm going to do the exact opposite.

1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:14.599
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm giving for Nett and a grade here. Honestly, Uh,

1:22:14.640 --> 1:22:17.400
<v Speaker 1>he's He's had all but one of the Jaguars running

1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:20.280
<v Speaker 1>back touches. He's had at least eighty seven total yards

1:22:20.320 --> 1:22:22.479
<v Speaker 1>in every game. I know that last week the kid

1:22:22.520 --> 1:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>took a huge round to get there. Um, he hasn't

1:22:25.280 --> 1:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>been he hasn't explored for a huge day yet, and

1:22:27.360 --> 1:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't scored yet. But this Denver d has allowed

1:22:30.360 --> 1:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>some pretty big games. They've allowed touchdowns to running backs

1:22:33.040 --> 1:22:36.360
<v Speaker 1>in every game, including two to Jacobs and two to Jones.

1:22:37.720 --> 1:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that for Net with his nineteen touches a

1:22:40.680 --> 1:22:43.679
<v Speaker 1>game finally gets gets off the schneide for not scoring

1:22:43.760 --> 1:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>he this is a by low opportunity for net for sure,

1:22:46.920 --> 1:22:49.559
<v Speaker 1>there's some frustrated owners out there. In the passing game,

1:22:49.600 --> 1:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been show on the bench. Denver's basically top four

1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:55.759
<v Speaker 1>in almost every single category, and they faced car Trabisky Rodgers.

1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:58.559
<v Speaker 1>They those three guys combined for two touchdowns and barely

1:22:58.600 --> 1:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>averaged over two hundred yards. So he's on the bench. Chark,

1:23:03.640 --> 1:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving him a C grade only for his connection

1:23:06.280 --> 1:23:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with Minshew. He keeps scoring, he keeps getting decent yards.

1:23:09.600 --> 1:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's not a good matchup passing wise, but Bryce

1:23:13.200 --> 1:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Callahan and Kareem Jackson are unlikely to play, so the

1:23:15.720 --> 1:23:17.559
<v Speaker 1>secondary is going to be a little light out there,

1:23:18.200 --> 1:23:23.719
<v Speaker 1>and they've been mostly burned by Tyrrell Williams, Marquette, Marquise Valdez,

1:23:23.760 --> 1:23:28.320
<v Speaker 1>scantling speed, guys like Debt, like d D. Westbrookets. So

1:23:28.360 --> 1:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually giving Westbrooke a C grade on the option

1:23:31.200 --> 1:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that he might get a big play and and if

1:23:34.400 --> 1:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Chart gets a lot of Christopherris I might not even

1:23:36.320 --> 1:23:38.360
<v Speaker 1>want to play. Well that's the problem. That's the problem

1:23:38.360 --> 1:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>with Chark. I'm a little worried about Chark this week.

1:23:41.400 --> 1:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, Flacco I have on the bench,

1:23:43.840 --> 1:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>but I am all of his passes are going to

1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>two guys. Basically, it's it's Sutton and it's Sanders, and

1:23:50.840 --> 1:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just barely getting enough to get C grades, barely

1:23:54.040 --> 1:23:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy viable. Both of them are in the top five

1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>in red zone targets. They've combined for like twelve teen

1:24:00.240 --> 1:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>red zone targets together, So I like their options, their

1:24:04.240 --> 1:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>SEA grades on them. SEA grades on both Lindsay and Freeman.

1:24:07.080 --> 1:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I actually kind of like both of them this week.

1:24:09.560 --> 1:24:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Lindsay because he gets he gets good receiving work. He's

1:24:12.560 --> 1:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>averaging nineteen touches per game. Freeman's averaging fourteen touches per game.

1:24:16.400 --> 1:24:19.479
<v Speaker 1>The running this offense a lot through the running game. Uh,

1:24:19.520 --> 1:24:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars are mostly allowing rushing attempts, so twenty three

1:24:23.200 --> 1:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>rushtemps per game, three receptions per game. So if I

1:24:25.960 --> 1:24:29.519
<v Speaker 1>had to choose, I might lean Freeman over Lindsay this weekend.

1:24:29.720 --> 1:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not alone on on that out there after I

1:24:32.120 --> 1:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>did my research on it. So um, but both SEA grades. Alright,

1:24:35.720 --> 1:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Final matchup of the show, Tampa Bay taking on the

1:24:38.400 --> 1:24:41.479
<v Speaker 1>l A rams Um. We've already taught feel like we

1:24:41.560 --> 1:24:44.760
<v Speaker 1>got to do open Oakland. I apologize. I was gonna

1:24:44.760 --> 1:24:47.880
<v Speaker 1>say we've done this one, um Oakland taking on Indie.

1:24:48.120 --> 1:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with Josh Jacobs and what has been a

1:24:50.240 --> 1:24:53.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty disappointing season after a promising week one. All right,

1:24:53.800 --> 1:24:56.479
<v Speaker 1>we'll start with Josh Jacobs, I guess the least exciting

1:24:56.479 --> 1:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>reader to talk about, but yeah, I'm just giving him

1:24:58.720 --> 1:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a cre didn't John Gruden said they want to give

1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:04.000
<v Speaker 1>him more targets, but I'll believe that when I see it.

1:25:04.280 --> 1:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>He has just three targets on this season. I'm worried

1:25:08.040 --> 1:25:10.719
<v Speaker 1>he gets phased out again like he did last weekends

1:25:10.720 --> 1:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings as uh the Raiders, uh supposedly or we

1:25:14.080 --> 1:25:16.920
<v Speaker 1>all assume they'll fall behind the Colts. So uh you know,

1:25:16.960 --> 1:25:20.559
<v Speaker 1>and I mentioned this early. Jalen Richard outsnapped Josh Jacobs

1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>last week and there's danger of that happening again in

1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a tough matchup. So just to see for Jacobs, I

1:25:26.000 --> 1:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>don't have re Shard with the starting grade, but he's

1:25:28.200 --> 1:25:30.599
<v Speaker 1>my prespect so and if you aren't desperate and PPR,

1:25:30.840 --> 1:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>he's worth an ad um to the passing game. Now.

1:25:34.320 --> 1:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I know it's late in the show, but can you

1:25:35.640 --> 1:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>wake up that peacock charge, because but I would be happy.

1:25:38.840 --> 1:25:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Do we have not had pacock yet? It is the

1:25:41.439 --> 1:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>second show of the preseason I mentioned as my sleeper,

1:25:45.000 --> 1:25:47.360
<v Speaker 1>virtually unknown guy named Darren Waller. Just go out and

1:25:47.439 --> 1:25:49.519
<v Speaker 1>draft him. No one's drafting him. He had some potential

1:25:49.560 --> 1:25:52.360
<v Speaker 1>this year, and yeah, he's got a lot of potential.

1:25:52.720 --> 1:25:54.439
<v Speaker 1>He's living up to it. He gets an A in

1:25:54.479 --> 1:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>this one, basically demanding a third of Oakland's targets so

1:25:57.760 --> 1:26:00.120
<v Speaker 1>far this year. The Colts will be without starting eight

1:26:00.200 --> 1:26:02.519
<v Speaker 1>d mo Week Hooker, and they will be down a

1:26:02.560 --> 1:26:05.200
<v Speaker 1>starting linebacker as well. I'm sorry his name slipping my

1:26:05.280 --> 1:26:08.320
<v Speaker 1>mind at the moment. And Austin Hooper scored twice last week,

1:26:08.360 --> 1:26:12.840
<v Speaker 1>so Darrell Darren Waller arguably tight end one. I would

1:26:12.840 --> 1:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>start him over Zach Ertz if it came down to it,

1:26:15.120 --> 1:26:16.320
<v Speaker 1>if I had to, if I had them both on

1:26:16.320 --> 1:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the same team, it's only I would have I would

1:26:21.000 --> 1:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>have done that, all right, Okay, I promise I would.

1:26:23.760 --> 1:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>If you know why, I would have Tyrolle Williams gonna

1:26:25.800 --> 1:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>give him a be Keenan Allen had a big game

1:26:29.120 --> 1:26:33.519
<v Speaker 1>against Indie UM, so Williams really the only wide receiver

1:26:33.800 --> 1:26:35.880
<v Speaker 1>with a warm body. Seventy nine, seven and nine targets

1:26:35.920 --> 1:26:38.439
<v Speaker 1>are a lock. Derek Carr on the bench though, because

1:26:38.439 --> 1:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he's Derek Carr over the Colts. Marlon Mack easy a Okland,

1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:44.599
<v Speaker 1>conceded thirty one carries for a hundred ninety six yards

1:26:44.600 --> 1:26:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and two touchdowns the Minnesota Backs last week. Mac had

1:26:47.400 --> 1:26:49.679
<v Speaker 1>a minor injury scared with the calf, but he touched

1:26:49.680 --> 1:26:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball eighteen times last week against Atlanta. That's a

1:26:52.280 --> 1:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>very safe floor for touches in this game. T Y

1:26:54.640 --> 1:26:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Hilton is a listen as doubtful now with the quads,

1:26:57.560 --> 1:26:59.839
<v Speaker 1>so you just gotta just end. On Friday, they promoted

1:27:00.000 --> 1:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Shton Dulin from the practice squads Signy Hilton. So that

1:27:04.000 --> 1:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>brings Paris Campbell, Dion can Zack Pascal all into play.

1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:13.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's school guy, but he's super athletic. Yeah let's

1:27:13.439 --> 1:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>go with him. I mean yeah, Paris is a good

1:27:18.439 --> 1:27:21.120
<v Speaker 1>sneaky play in this game. I like Deon Kane more.

1:27:21.160 --> 1:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>It's really pick your poison. They all saw three targets

1:27:23.479 --> 1:27:27.400
<v Speaker 1>last week. Kane Kane saw the most snaps. Pascal scored

1:27:27.479 --> 1:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the touchdown. I don't know, my gut says Kane, But

1:27:30.760 --> 1:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>it's really a pick. These guys are gonna someone's gonna

1:27:33.000 --> 1:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have a good game, maybe two of them, but um,

1:27:35.280 --> 1:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>who knows. And then Eric Ebron a big bump with

1:27:37.680 --> 1:27:40.639
<v Speaker 1>t Y Hilton out, mainly because t Y Hilton second

1:27:40.680 --> 1:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in red some targets in the NFL right now, and

1:27:43.040 --> 1:27:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that hurts Ebron, of course, but Hilton out, Um, it's

1:27:46.479 --> 1:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a It's a good spot for Ebron. It's a great

1:27:48.240 --> 1:27:51.160
<v Speaker 1>matchup on paper, team starting tight ends against the Raiders

1:27:51.200 --> 1:27:53.360
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen of eighteen for two d seven yards and

1:27:53.400 --> 1:27:56.559
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown this season, and with all those positive plays

1:27:56.560 --> 1:27:58.960
<v Speaker 1>in the passing game that made Jacoby Brissette take a

1:27:59.040 --> 1:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>chance on me quarterback, it is even without t Y Hilton.

1:28:02.200 --> 1:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I still like Jacobe Brissette. I think he's I think

1:28:04.920 --> 1:28:06.639
<v Speaker 1>he's sitting on a fine game, and I think he's

1:28:06.640 --> 1:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>actually sitting on a pretty good season. The rest of

1:28:08.760 --> 1:28:10.559
<v Speaker 1>the way. He's available a lot of leagues. You may

1:28:10.600 --> 1:28:13.360
<v Speaker 1>want to go snatch him up if you can. If
