00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargie. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: I am Paul Charchie and my co hosts today are

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: Scott Fish and Canned why Rock.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome back. Scott.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: I think this is six out of seven shows for you.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: You're an iron man.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, uh, slightly less of an iron man than you,

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 4: who has done all but one show in thirty one years.

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Well, and that I think that might have been a

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: COVID show.

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 5: As I recall it, I do remember what it is,

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 5: but we can move on.

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, oh it was the Herpie.

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, right here right, we're not talking about that, Yes.

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: Not talking about that.

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: Uh, Kent. Good to have you back as well. We've

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: got a lot to get to over the course of

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: this show. It's the first of the bye and that

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: means there's added importance, especially for Take a Chance on Me,

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: where we help you unearthed players that can help you

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: through the bye weeks. This week, we'll also answer three

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: tough questions. We'll give you premature speculation, which has been

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: on fire lately what he Marx has come up, a

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: number of others. We'll talk about talk through some of

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: the players you want to pick up now, and we'll

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: break down all the games on the schedule, and Scott,

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: you are up first this week.

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: Let's just get this out of the way.

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: We'll tear the band aid off this matchup, the Titans

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: taking on the Cardinals. The Titans are the worst team

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 3: in the league by a margin, not close, and any

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: week now could be the last week for Brian Callahan.

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Potentially.

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have a lot of starting grades here

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: in the run game. I my patented volume C grade

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: for Tony Pollard. It sounds like Taj Spears is getting

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: close but not quite ready. They're being really cautious with him,

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: so he'll not likely not play again this week. Pollard's

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: averaging nineteen plus touches. The last three backfields have gone

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: over one hundred yards against this Cardinals team. Other Titans

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: backs haven't had more than two touches in any game,

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 4: so it's gonna be all Pollard. And he's had five

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: catches in the last two games despite only being targeted

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: nine times all year. Thirty percent of the fantasy points

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: running when the cards are in the past game, so

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: maybe he gets a little work there. C grade on

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard. The only other starting grade here is Iomanner.

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: I'm giving a C two. Ridley's missing practice sounds like

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: he's not even gonna go missed a lot of last

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: week with the knee and elbow injuries. Tyler Lockett jumped

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: in his place and got zero targets. He just ran

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: around all day, So Iomanner is the one who will

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: most likely see the benefit. He's had five plus targets

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 4: in every game, leads the team in end zone targets.

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: He's gonna get that tough draw with rookie Will Johnson,

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 4: who in the first two weeks was PFF's ninth grade.

59
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: Ninth ranked corner missed the last two weeks with the injury,

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: but he's back this week. Ignored Chicka Konku as well

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: as they want to get Gunner hell more involved, and

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: Chick didn't even do that much with before over On

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 4: the other side, Kyler Murray's getting a C grade. In

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: the past game, He's one hundred and eighty five yards

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 4: passing a game with just one game over two hundred

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: yards is rough, but he's adding thirty to forty yards

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: on the ground. The Titans are allowing a healthy two

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty seven yards and one and a half

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 4: scores to opposing quarterbacks, and each of the last three

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: that faced them topped eighteen fantasy points, and you can argue,

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: you could make an argument Murray is the best of

72
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: those quarterbacks.

73
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: So a C grade there. Trey McBride's getting that auto A.

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Only Bowers has a higher tight end target share double

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 4: digit points every week. Cards are top ten against tight ends,

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: but really they've only been tested by one tight end

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: and that was Tyler Warren and he did just fine.

78
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, Marvin Harrison is getting a B grade. Lead

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: receivers against the Titans are averaging seventy six. Harrison is

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: averaging seven for fifty two. They've allowed a wide receiver

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: score every single week. He's gonna get that Lugarious sneaed shadow,

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: but Mike Evans and DK Metcalf did okay against that,

83
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: and he's not really the shadow corner he was three

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: years ago, especially after that injury. So B grade on Harrison,

85
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: and then we come to Michael Carter and.

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: Amario de Marcado.

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 4: It's kind of a spot where I'd almost bench both,

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: but I think that there's enough enough room here in

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: this matchup to give them both seas. Titans are allowing

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: the fourth most fantasy points to back. Just last week,

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: we saw Woodie Marx, Your take a Chance on Me

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: player from last week just absolutely go off, especially in

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: the past game, an area where Amari excels. Michael Carter's

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: also good. Sounds like Michael Carter is the starter and

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: we'll be first and second down guy. There might be

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: enough volume, and as ten point favorites, they may be

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: running a lot late in that game, So I'm giving

98
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: se grades to both those running backs.

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: What makes you think Michael Carter might be the starter? Scott?

100
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: Oh, maybe because he said it to a Beat reporter.

101
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: It's question there because I sussed that one out early

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 4: early in the week that Carter could be the starter there.

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and then Carter announced that he was going from

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: practice squad to the starters, So I guess we've got

105
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: that one answered. I still think Amri de Mercado's absolutely startable.

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: You mentioned Calvin Ridley, Scott, Yeah, we haven't talked about

107
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: him enough as one of the epic disappointments of this year.

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people that thought cam Ward

109
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: was going to be enough of a quarterbacking upgrade, that

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley was going to be substantially better than he

111
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: was last year, and he had started to come on

112
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: in the second half of last season. It's been a

113
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 3: wreck for Calvin Ridley, fortunately, and it doesn't look like

114
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: it's getting any better in this offense. All right, let's

115
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: go from that game to a game that should be

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: a little bit better anyway, the Raiders taking on the

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Colts Kent Ashton genty Finally with the big breakout game

118
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: that we've been waiting for. Broke, I believe at eleven

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: tackles in one game, really really impressive performance. Do you

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: believe he keeps it going here in a Sterner test

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: against the Colts.

122
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: Uh?

123
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely showed up as advertised. But I am

124
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: only going to give him a B grade this week.

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: You know.

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Last week, like you said, twenty one attempts for one

127
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight and a score on the ground,

128
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: and he also caught two targets and oh both of

129
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: those were touchdowns too. I guess that's pretty good. The

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Colts allowed the second highest rushing rate excuse me, rushing

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: success rate in the league, so it's gonna be a

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a nice matchup for him. But they're

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: also twenty eighth in yards before contact allowed, so it's

134
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting dichotomy there.

135
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: But this Raiders' offensive line is still light ability.

136
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: They are twenty eighth in run block win rate, thirtieth

137
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: in yards before contact and lasting stuffed run percentage. Not

138
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: to mention, they're also going to be missing their left tackle,

139
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Colton Miller, who is now on IR and I think,

140
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: you know, translating that into what we do with Gino

141
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: Smith bench him, I mean you don't want to see

142
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: him in a starting lineup. He threw three ugly interceptions

143
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: against the lowly Bears secondary last week. He has the

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: third lowest PFF passing grade and is tied for third

145
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: with eight turnover worthy plays so far this season. The

146
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Colts allow the tenth lowest EPA per dropbacks, so they're

147
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: pretty tight, not not super tight, but pretty good. And

148
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: he's only been a top twelve quarterback just once through

149
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: four weeks. You do not want to play him if

150
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: you have any opportunity. Otherwise, some of his pass catchers,

151
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: I guess there's some opportunity Jacoby Myers should see an

152
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: uptick in targets. Well, I was gonna say a Bowers

153
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: can't go, but it's announced that Pete Carroll thinks Bowers

154
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: will play. We'll get to him in a second for

155
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: a grade, but I think Meyers should see a little

156
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: uptick in targets. The indie slot cornerback Kennymore will be

157
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: out within achilles injury as well. Myers runs sixty four

158
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: percent of his routes from the slot, so that's an

159
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: opportunity there for him. He's quietly twelfth in targets on

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: the season, has had at least four receptions or sixty

161
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: three plus receiving yards in every single game, so.

162
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: He's been quietly okay.

163
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen the upside on him yet, So

164
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: be great, I think is all he deserves. Trey Tucker,

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna bench him despite his Week three explosion. He

166
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: just can't be trusted. He fell back to earth with

167
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: just two targets last week against Like I said, that

168
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: wimpy secondary that the Chicago has been doling out, and

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: he's likely to draw coverage from Shaveria's ward given that

170
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: you know Jacoby Myers will be in the slot, so

171
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: he's only allowed forty six yards in coverage so far

172
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: this year. Dante Thornton is a bench as well, hasn't

173
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: cleared four targets yet, you know, third in terms of

174
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the depth chart on the wide receivers there, and then

175
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers. This was tough because it's such a weird situation.

176
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C grade. I think if

177
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: he plays, you start him. But you can't feel that

178
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: good about a guy who started as a limited practice

179
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: and then did not participate two days in a row

180
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday. Even if Pete Carroll says he's

181
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna play, that's a rough look. So the targets per

182
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: game this year have just been six point eight compared

183
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: to his nine per game last year, and his last

184
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: three weeks he havn't crested five receptions or forty six

185
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: receiving yards.

186
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: It's been a tough look for him so far this year.

187
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: It happens to you know.

188
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: The hope here is that is that Bowers is going

189
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: to be a bigger part of this offense once the

190
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: knee finally gets right. And so I think we're all

191
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: ready you know right now, and at least in my mind,

192
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I'm not ready to say that he's

193
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: a bad fit in a Pete Carroll offense yet, because

194
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: we don't know how much the.

195
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: Knee is really limiting him. Yeah, I totally agree.

196
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: And you know, if he does play, you start him

197
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: because you probably don't have much of a better option.

198
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't play, you could maybe throw a

199
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: dart at Michael Mayer, but you don't feel good about

200
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: that either. On the Indianapolis side of the ball, the

201
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones led offense is going to keep on going here.

202
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: We're going to give him a B grade. We saw

203
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of the vintage Daniel Jones last week

204
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: against the Rams. He had two interceptions and a fumble

205
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: in that game. The turnover problems has really followed him

206
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: throughout his career. He still has not notched a game

207
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: with multiple passing touchdowns, which is kind of unbelievable giving

208
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: how well he's playing. But the Raiders are allowing the

209
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: ninth most EPA per drop back and the tenth most

210
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: passing yards per game, so it's a pretty good spot

211
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: for him. His two best games were Week one to

212
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: two that was against primarily man coverage, and the Raiders

213
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: run the second lowest amount of man coverage on just

214
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: ten percent of play, so it's going to be an

215
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: interesting matchup there. Jonathan Taylor gets a B his two

216
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: weekly at Sagan.

217
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: That's it. Just the B grade, Just a B grade.

218
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has two weekly running back one titles to

219
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: his name and hasn't had fewer than ninety six scrim

220
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: yards in a week. But the Raiders are surprisingly stout

221
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: against the run, seventh fewest fantasy points per game allowed

222
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: to running backs, second in EPA per rush allout third

223
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: and stuffed run percentage, and eighth in ESPN's run stop

224
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: win rates. So you're playing him, but his upside is

225
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: just gonna be a little bit captain. This game doesn't

226
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: quite deserve the A. Michael Pittman gets a B. He

227
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: gets a B. He's limited Thursday with a hamstring injury,

228
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: but it sounds like he is going to play in

229
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: this game. He's coming off a ten target game, something

230
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: that didn't happen until Week seventeen last year, which is

231
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, and he's had forty plus yards every

232
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: single week this year, scored a touchdown in three out

233
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: of a four. He's tied with Tyler Warren, leading the

234
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: team in red zone targets for the Colts as well,

235
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: so B grade for him. Josh Downs, I'm gonna give

236
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: a seed two. He's untrustworthy, but you've only got one

237
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: game with five targets from him so far. But the

238
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: slot corner back Darnay Holmes is allowing the third most

239
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: yards per snap, and I believe that Josh Downs pretty

240
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: much has to make the most of this opportunity to

241
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: make any kind of headway in terms of target chair

242
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: on his team for the rest of the season. Alec

243
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Pierce is a bench You hope for a bomb TD

244
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: if you are playing him in a pinch, but I

245
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: don't want to play him in most leagues.

246
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: And then Tyler Warren gets a B grade.

247
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: He's had five plus targets ever since game seventy plus

248
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: yards at three out of four games, and he's fourth

249
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: in targets at the tight end position.

250
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: Great rookie tight end.

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: And he's also got that sneaky red zone rushing TD

252
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: that Thor liked to talk about during the off season.

253
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: They knew that was coming. So he's getting a B

254
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: grade in this game. As well.

255
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: All right, Vikings take on the Browns.

256
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: This is an early matchup, and boy did people get

257
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: destroyed on the Nasei Harris not Nigie Harris, sorry, Jalen Warren.

258
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: Surprise inactive last week with the early start, you're on

259
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: the West coast, you roll out of bed and find

260
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: out out of the blue.

261
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Warren's not that was a big.

262
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: Big contributor to a lot of losses and a lot

263
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: of guillotine chops last week. This week, Brown's taking in

264
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: the Vikings. I don't think there's as much drama with

265
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: any of the players here, except these are arguably the

266
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: two best defenses in the NFL playing win. The over

267
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: under in this game is just thirty six points. Is

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 3: that's the lowest number of the Vikings have been involved

269
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: in in twenty years. I've got a B grade coming

270
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: on Justin Jefferson, C grades on Jordan Addison and Jordan Mason,

271
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: and bench grades on everybody else. And I'm trying something

272
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: new because last week I missed grades on like three guys.

273
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: So now I'm gonna try something new where I'm gonna

274
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: give out all the grades at the beginning and then

275
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: talk about the guys in particular. So let's see how

276
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: this goes, and then maybe I don't end up dropping

277
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: three grades out of nowhere. So let's art with Justin Jefferson,

278
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: just the B grade. He always started him, but there's

279
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: a lot working against him. Offensive line is gonna be

280
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: missing three players, and the backup to one of the

281
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: three players. Somebody is gonna be starting at center who've

282
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: never played the center position for the Vikings, and I

283
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: just don't see deep drops coming for Carson Wentz against

284
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: a very good defense with a bad defensive offensive line,

285
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: and so it's gonna be a lot of quick reads

286
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: for Wentz and short balls don't generate many fantasy points.

287
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: And the Brown secondary has been good anyway.

288
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: No receivers top seventy five yards, and outside receivers have

289
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: been especially steinmy by Cleveland, including Jamar Chase who was

290
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: held to just twenty six yards. Be great on Justin Jefferson.

291
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: For Jordan Addison really for all the same reasons. I

292
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: don't like him, and he'll get I don't like him

293
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 3: much here and he'll get even less targets and all probability.

294
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I've just got the C grade on him.

295
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: It was good to see him run a team high

296
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 3: fifty two routes last week, although he should have scored

297
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: a touchdown, did not manage to convert that one. The

298
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: other parts of the Vikings passing game are on the bench,

299
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: including TJ. Hokinson with three missing offensive linemen, and here

300
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: comes Miles Garrett. I'm worried TJ. Howkinson is just gonna block.

301
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: With the injuries last week on the Vikings offensive line,

302
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: Hockinson's pass blocking snaps doubled, and it's easy to see

303
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: him at best like chipping on Miles Garrett and then

304
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: going out into his route, and that means you're gonna

305
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: get short catches from Hockinson who's now late in getting

306
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: into routes. So last week because a dot was just

307
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: four point six yards, and that's what I think is

308
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: gonna happen here. I've got Hockinson on the bench for

309
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: this one, and I don't think I think you know

310
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: enough not to start Carson Wentz behind this battered offensive line.

311
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: As for Jordan Mason, hard to bench a team's workhorse runner,

312
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: but this is his toughest matchup of the entire year.

313
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: Offensive line woes will affect him as well.

314
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: And then there's the great Cleveland run defense.

315
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: They're the only team that's posting negative yards before contact.

316
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: That means opposing runners are getting hit behind the line,

317
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: behind the line of scrimmage. They ranked number one in

318
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: yards per carry just two point seven. That's half a

319
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: yard better than the second Beast run defense and far

320
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: better runners than Jordan Mason, who you know, I love

321
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason. Have been smoked Derrick Henry twenty three yards,

322
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs thirty yards, David Montgomery last week, You're raced

323
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: with twelve yards. Jordan Mason just the C grade in

324
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: the hopes that he gets a goal line carry in

325
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: this game, brownside, this will not take very long. Dylan

326
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: Gabriel is your starting quarterback. Obviously you're not going to

327
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: start him, but note that defensive coordinator Brian Flores is

328
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: going to put his brain in a blender with pre

329
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: snap looks and it could be very ugly here.

330
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: He's going to show a lot.

331
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: Of a lot of defensive looks that will probably confuse Gabriel,

332
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: and Gabriel doesn't have a big arm anyway, so it's

333
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of First wed, is your man open?

334
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: Throw the ball? If he's not open, look to your

335
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: second reader. Just throw it away and that's gonna be

336
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: the end of it. For Dylan Gabriel, I don't see

337
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: much happening here through the passing game. Jerry Judy moves

338
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: to the bench as well. Judy is the league's pre

339
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: eminent ball dropper. Four drops already for Jerry Judy. Cedar

340
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: Tillman is on IR and that means Judy's gonna get

341
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: a lot of Isaiah Rodgers. He is Pro Football focuses

342
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: number one ranked coverage cornerback, so he goes on the

343
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: bench as well. And then David and Joku and Harold

344
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: Fannin are cannibalizing each other a bit.

345
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: They can be on the field at the same time.

346
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna get some short passes here, and the Vikings

347
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: are missing two linebackers who would normally get tight end

348
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: coverage duty. I could see a lot of fast dump

349
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: offs from Gabriel, Tune and Joku and Fannin, but I

350
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: don't in totality think it's going to add up to

351
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: very much S grade. If you're you know, I'll give

352
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: him a bye week Sea grade for Ndjoku and Fanin.

353
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: Fannin lines up outside and in the slot a lot

354
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: and Joko's staying in the block.

355
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: They could both get I guess enough.

356
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: Work in a bye week where you could consider him,

357
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: but I don't see explosive upside.

358
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: And then there's Quinn Shawn Judkins.

359
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: He has been very good and the Browns path to

360
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: victory in this game is very clear. De emphasize Gabriel

361
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel in his first start greatly, and start giving

362
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: the ball to quinch On Judkins, who could see the

363
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: ball twenty five times in this game. Run Jenkins at

364
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: every opportunity. The Vikings lost last week they couldn't stop

365
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: Kenny Gainwell, a less talented back. Judkins has been very good,

366
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: averaging almost five yards per carry and an impressive four

367
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: yards after contacts, second highest number in the league. The

368
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: Vikings far easier to run upon than pass upon. Quinch

369
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 3: On Judkins a grade. Isaiah bond temptinks he's gonna get

370
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 3: extra work, but we're gonna wait until we have a

371
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: more favorable matchup.

372
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: I talked about him later too.

373
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 4: By the way, did you know Brian Flora's defenses undefeated

374
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: against first and second year quarterbacks?

375
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: That is amazing. That's an amazing stat right there.

376
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 3: You do not want your novice quarterback going up against

377
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: Brian Flores and Joe Flaccos looked bad. But I think

378
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski may have pulled the trigger a week early

379
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: on this quarterback switch. Find out as we continue on

380
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: Fantasy Football Weekly, it's time next segment for take a

381
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: chance on me nine players you would not normally start.

382
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: You need them in this bye week. Let's take a

383
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: chance on these nine guys. When we come back to

384
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: Fantasy Football Weekly.

385
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 7: Take a chance, take a chance on me, nine players

386
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 7: that you would not normally start.

387
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: Many of these players available on the waiver wire. It's

388
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: a bye week.

389
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: You need these guys, and we're ear to dole them out,

390
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: beginning with Scott Fish, who is your take a chance

391
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: on me quarterback.

392
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: Weirdly, this guy's owned in like sixty nine percent of

393
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: league something like that, which is insane. But Justin Fields

394
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 4: is gonna explode this week. I know he's kind of exploded.

395
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: In his two healthy games. The Cowboys are allowing three

396
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: hundred and ten yards passing and thirty yards rushing to

397
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 4: opposing quarterbacks. They're also allowing three scores per game two

398
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 4: quarterbacks three full on scores per game to quarterbacks.

399
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 5: Fields.

400
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: Passing yards has been in the low two hundreds in

401
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: his two fall games, but he had a passing score

402
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: and a rushing score in each game, and this is

403
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: just a ridiculous matchup for him.

404
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: Very positive.

405
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: I've got Justin Fields his quarterback five in my rankings

406
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: this week.

407
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: Kent, who is your take a chance on me quarterback?

408
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Sam Darnold against the Tampa

409
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. I think this is one of the more

410
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: obvious examples of the film being better than the stats

411
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: so far through this year. Film analists all over Twitter

412
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: have said.

413
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 6: So.

414
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: It's backed up by his fourth in PFF passing grades

415
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: so far this year, and he's only had two interceptions

416
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: and both of them were actually pretty immaculate defensive plays too,

417
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: so weren't really directly because of him. And it appears

418
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: that two to three members of the secondary and Tampa

419
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Bay are gonna miss this game due to injuries. Not

420
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: to mention, the Seahawks are missing some big defensive names

421
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: as well, so could end up in a twenty eighteen

422
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: NFL Draft prospect gun slinging showdown.

423
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: I like it Sam Darnold, take a chance with me, player.

424
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: I'm going with CJ. Stroud, Houston quarterback. We've sort of

425
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: relegated him to sort of second tier, third tier quarterback status.

426
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: But man, if you can't do it now, when will you.

427
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: Ravens are the opponent. They're missing all three starting cornerbacks.

428
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: And honestly, it feels like they're missing fourteen or like

429
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: twelve of their eleven starters at this point.

430
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, their defense and totality could be missing half the defense.

431
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: Six players may not go, including starting safety Kyle Hamilton.

432
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: Ravens have allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks,

433
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: including multiple touchdowns in three of four games, and the

434
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: fifth most passing yards overall plus matchups all over the place.

435
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: For CJ.

436
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: Stroud, let's go to the running back position. Scott, who

437
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: you got? I'm going with the Dowdler.

438
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Rico Dowdler here today, Miami has

439
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 4: given up over one hundred and fifty yards per game,

440
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 4: with the lead back going over one hundred in every

441
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: single week. That said, it was Jonathan Taylor, James Cook,

442
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: Breese Hall, some pretty good ones.

443
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 5: The fourth was the New York Triplets, but.

444
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: Stevenson even had one hundred and forty two yards against them.

445
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: Just an absolutely ridiculous matchup. And Chuba Hubbard is gonna

446
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 4: miss this one, leaving Rico Dowdler, ric o'doddell with all

447
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: the carries, all the touches.

448
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to be called the Dowdler. That sounds

449
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: like something you end up in jail for. Happened to you?

450
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: All right? Ken, who's you take a chance with me

451
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: running back?

452
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Rashad White playing against the Seahawks

453
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: in the aforementioned game, Bucky Irving is officially out. Sounds

454
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: like he could miss a few more weeks after that

455
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: as well. We're not quite sure. But lest we forget that,

456
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: Rashan White had fifteen and thirty nine scrimmage yards in

457
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, Well, Shawn Tucker was on the team.

458
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: Mind you, granted last year Sean Tucker did play better

459
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: limited action, but even this season with Bucky playing, Rashad

460
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: White averages five point eight attempts and two point three

461
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: targets per game in a complimentary role, seventy one percent

462
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: of long down and distance snaps, and he played twenty

463
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: five percent of the two minute drill snaps, and he

464
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: also has the best rushing yards over expectation on the

465
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: team so far this year, Baker's playing some good football.

466
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: The Bucks have been healthy the old line again with

467
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: the worst it's back. He's trusted as a pass blocker

468
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: and as a receiver. His playing time should be high

469
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: and he'll be blessed with all you.

470
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: I believe Sean Tucker.

471
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: Also, if you need a deeper, good dive, sure shot

472
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: white John Tucker's appsolute a green play here too.

473
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: I'm with ken Kendrey Miller against the Giants.

474
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: We had all written off Kendrey Miller's career, and I think,

475
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: honestly for good reason. But then last week he's coming

476
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: off his best game as a pro. He looked fantastic.

477
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: And if you didn't watch last week's Saints game, and

478
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: I don't blame you for never watching Saints games, you

479
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: missed a fantastic outing by Kendrey Miller that was far

480
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: better than his box score looks. He broke five tackles

481
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: in one game to put a comparison, and Derek Henry's

482
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 3: had four broken tackles this year, so five and one

483
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 3: game is awfully good.

484
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 4: You want a secondary factor that he's got twelve missed

485
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: forced tackles on twenty eight attempts this year.

486
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome.

487
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: That is an amazing ratio for Kendrey Miller. You know,

488
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: his snaps and his attempts were at the highest level

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: last week that they had been in two years. His

490
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: usage is on the uptick. And then there's this little

491
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 3: X factor. Tell me you guys, think if the Saints

492
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: think they're going to trade away Alvin Kamara, right, Saints

493
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: aren't going to the playoffs, Kamara could be a valuable

494
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: asset to the Chiefs or somebody else. Do they wind

495
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: back his carries to keep him healthy and keep the

496
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: trade value high?

497
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 6: Oh?

498
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: Interesting there.

499
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I think that's valid because you don't really need to

500
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: showcase Kamara anymore.

501
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: We all kind of know what he is, so I

502
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: think at this point we're very clear on what he is.

503
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: Giants are the opponent.

504
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: They're allowing the fourth most rushing yards one hundred and

505
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: sixteen per game, and they've allowed the second most rushing

506
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: touchdowns Kendray Miller. All right, let's go to the receivers.

507
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: Scott who used your take a chance on me receiver?

508
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: You know I was thinking of pairing up Mason Taylor

509
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: with Justin Fields in this segment, but I once I

510
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: was doing the matchups, I'm like, I just got to

511
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: do my boy Jameson Williams. The Bengals have allowed fourteen

512
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: explosive plays this year. James and Williams had a whopping

513
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 4: one hundred and ninety five unrealized air yards last week,

514
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: and at third of the targets they keep targeting him deep.

515
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 4: I think that maybe this is the week that some

516
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 4: of those air yards get realized. They're also bottom ten

517
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 4: in yards receptions and fantasy points to wide receivers, and

518
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: Jameson Williams himself fourth in the NFL in yards after

519
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 4: the catch per reception.

520
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

521
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 3: Not bad, and I guess not a total surprise either.

522
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: I like it calling your shot on Jameson Williams. A

523
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: quiet start to the season for him, but it could

524
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 3: come together. Here, Kent your take a chance to me

525
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: wide receiver.

526
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jalen Tilbert playing against the New

527
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: York Jets. You know, obviously, Ceedee Lamb's out and gonna

528
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: miss a couple of games. It's unfortunate, but last year

529
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: when Lamb missed the final two games of the year.

530
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: Tolbert posted double digit Fantasy points in both games, and

531
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: those were with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance starting, so

532
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit better quarterback situation now and

533
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: after Ceedee Lamb left the game. This last time he played,

534
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Tolbert ran the second most routes for the Cowboys at

535
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: an eighty three percent clip. Well, Cavante Turpin was just

536
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: at sixty eight percent. Sounds like he may not even

537
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: play in this game. Yeah, is that confirmed?

538
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: Okay? Perfect?

539
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: So even better, Tolbert caught four of six targets for

540
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: sixty one yards in a game that really turned into

541
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: the George Pickens Show last week, and it's probably.

542
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 2: Not going to be their plan going forward.

543
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: Not to mention, the Jets are allowing the third most

544
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: EPA per drop back and are twenty six. Then explosive

545
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: passing plays allowed. Tolbert's in a good spot.

546
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: So going into Thursday Night's game, one of my guarantine

547
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: leagues I needed to start either Tolbert, you take a

548
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: chance with me, guy, or.

549
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: Kendrick Bourne. Yeah. I was afraid that was coming.

550
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: Yep, and I Tolberg, you better be right, Ken I

551
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: need you to be right, I need a big, awesome

552
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: and I like Poorn enough to pick him up before

553
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: the game, but not.

554
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: To start him.

555
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 3: My take a chance to me receiver is Christian Kirk

556
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: again going up against Baltimore. I already told you Baltimore's

557
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: missing all of their starting cornerbacks and includes their slot

558
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: cornerback Marlin Humphrey. His replacement is an undrafted rookie named

559
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: Keon Martin who has been targeted seven times in light

560
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: duty so far and he's given up seven receptions.

561
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: And a touchdown.

562
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 3: This is an incredibly plus matchup for Christian Kirk. And

563
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: the funny thing is when the Ravens don't use their

564
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: traditional slot corner to cover the slot receiver, they use

565
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: Rokwan Smith who's out, or they use Kyle Hamilton, who

566
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: may not play in this game, so one way or another,

567
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk is very favorable coverage in this one. They

568
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: allow the most fantasy points to slow receivers in the league.

569
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, I love him this week.

570
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: All right, Let's get back to our matchups and the

571
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 3: next matchup is the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New

572
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: York Jets. Scott Cowboys have the most yards per game

573
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 3: of any offense in the NFL.

574
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 4: They got the highest pass rate there. The running backs

575
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 4: are touching the ball twenty plus times. Dak leads the

576
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 4: league in completions, attempts, and passing yards. There's just a

577
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: constant pace of play with those guys. A grades on

578
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson. I'm pulling a

579
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 4: move out of your book from last segment charge. I

580
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: like it one of the highest over unders of the week,

581
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: and both of these teams are allowing quarterbacks with to

582
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: a one nine or higher passer ratings, so there might

583
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: be some shootout going on here. The Jets do allow

584
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 4: excuse me, the Jets allow the third most explosive plays

585
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: as well. Should be really lights up or lights out

586
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: for Dak Prescott and George Pickens.

587
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 5: That good days.

588
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: Pickens will get the Sauce shadow but two of the

589
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 4: four that Sauces shadowed had double digit Fantasy days. Pickens

590
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: is kind of the main guy is going to get

591
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 4: a lot of volume. He should be able to overcome

592
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 4: that and maybe avoid him at times. Jake Ferguson leads

593
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: in tight ends and targets receptions, Jets are middle of

594
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: the pack, but even Waller scored two touchdowns against them. Yeah,

595
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 4: A grade there. Javonte Williams also gett an A grade here.

596
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 4: He's averaging twenty touches, as I kind of mentioned, for

597
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: just under one hundred yards, no games under fifteen touches.

598
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 4: He's had ninety two or more yards in three straight

599
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: He's scored in three of the four games. And the

600
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: Jets are allowing the third most touches to running backs.

601
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: The last three lead backs against the Jets went for

602
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: one hundred and one yards, ninety nine yards, and one

603
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five yards, two of them scoring. And

604
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 4: of course Jalen Tolbert was Kent's take a chance on

605
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: me player. Over on the Jets side, Justin Fields was

606
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 4: going to take a chance on me player. And I

607
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: have a couple other eight grades here. I got volume

608
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: hog Garrett Wilson with an A grade. Cowboys are allowing

609
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: over two hundred yards to wide receivers per game and

610
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: have given up a wide receiver score nine times in

611
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: four games. Times you say nine times, I say the

612
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: Cowboys ulto the league being allowing seven pass.

613
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 5: Plays over forty yards.

614
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

615
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 4: The twenty eight teams have three or fewer of those

616
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: than the Cowboys have allowed seven. Mason Taylor's going to

617
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: get a C grade. I could have been talked into

618
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: a bee. He's dinged up, but he should go. He's

619
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: had thirteen targets in the last two games. He's the

620
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: second leading target getter on this team. He's fields number

621
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: two option. The Cowboys have held down tight ends, but

622
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: even Tucker Craft had five for fifty four, So I

623
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: think Taylor should be fine here.

624
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 5: In the run game.

625
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: With Braylan Allen out, all that preseason buzz of sharing

626
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 4: never really materialized anyway, and it's definitely not going too

627
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 4: for Isaiah Davis. So this is going to be all

628
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 4: Breeze Hall A grade for Hill Hall. In the two

629
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: fields games, Hull went for one hundred and forty five

630
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: yards and one hundred and eleven yards, averaging twenty touches.

631
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this could be a very good game for Breese Hall.

632
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: I like the prospects here, probably the most optimal matchup

633
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: he will have all year.

634
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 4: Cowboys allow over one hundred and forty yards a game

635
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: to running backs, then it's gonna.

636
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: Be allbrating, absolutely another Cowboys shootout.

637
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: Probably coming when we come back. In Fantasy Football Weekly,

638
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: the Bucks take on the Seahawks.

639
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: Buccaneers depleted at wide receiver Baker Mayfield, normally an auto start.

640
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: Do you like him this week? Find out when we

641
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: come back.

642
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Scott Fish

643
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: and Kent Wyrock with you. You can follow us on

644
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: Twitter at Scottfish twenty four, I am at Paul Charchian

645
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: and Kent.

646
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 6: At h.

647
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: Just like it sounds, you'll have no trouble figuring that

648
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: part out. We think we are thrilling follows on Twitter,

649
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Bucks saying in the Seahawks, Kent,

650
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: we already broke down the Bucks running game, so let's

651
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: flip over to the passing offense. Short several players, but

652
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: Chris Godwin had ten targets in his first game back,

653
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: which shocked me.

654
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely got some rust to shake off, but

655
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: I would say some of the peripherals are pretty solid.

656
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to give him a B grade here.

657
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: He did see ten targets in this game, but only

658
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: caught three of them, despite a sixty percent catchable ball rate,

659
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: which was higher than Egbuca.

660
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: He total just twenty six yards.

661
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: He had a fifty three receiving grade from PFF, and

662
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: his fifteen point one to eight DOT was nearly double

663
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: his recent history. His higher air yards than Agbuka in

664
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: this game as well. A lot of it was really nice.

665
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: It just didn't really materialize in the end. And those

666
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: targets are just too valuable, and I trust in Godwin's

667
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: ability and play style to persist through that, So I'll

668
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: give him a B grade and Mechagbuka or should I

669
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: say Machagbuke is getting an A.

670
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: Witherspoon is missing this game.

671
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: That should be pretty huge as far as there's gonna

672
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: be some other defensive pieces missing as well.

673
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: Abuka's targets have.

674
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Increased each week this year, even with Godwin's return, culminating

675
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: ten targets for four receptions one hundred four yards excuse you,

676
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: a hundred one yards and a score last week. And

677
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: Buka also had a higher wide alignment percentage and a

678
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: DOT in this game with Godwin back, So it sounds

679
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: like they're going to use him a little bit different

680
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: way now that we have Godwin working out of the

681
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: slot a little bit more. He's tied for third in

682
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns among all wide receivers, in first in touchdowns twenty

683
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: plus yards, and the Bucks have attempted only four total

684
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: red zone plays against Excuse me, No, the Bucks only

685
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: attempted four red zone plays against the Eagles, and that

686
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: numbers should be higher against a hindered Seahawks defense. Excuse

687
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: me throwing him the ball is gonna be Baker Mayfield,

688
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: who's in a pretty good spot here.

689
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to give him a B grade.

690
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: He is doing well with Chris Godwin back in the lineup,

691
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: through for two hundred and eighty nine yards and two

692
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week with an interception. He played that Philly

693
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: defense pretty tight. But he is tied for fifth and

694
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: turnover worthy play percentage despite just one interception on the season,

695
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: and he's seventeenth in passing grade. So there's some underlying

696
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: concerns with his game right now. He scored above twenty

697
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: fantasy points just once in four weeks so far.

698
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: The Seahawks will be down.

699
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: Devon Witherspoon ass mentioned Julian Love and DeMarcus Lawrence though,

700
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: so he has an opportunity here, but he's get a

701
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: B grade. Then let's talk about the run game. A

702
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: little bit Rashad Way was might take a chance on me.

703
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: He'll get the B grade. Sean Tucker just a little

704
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: bit extra.

705
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: He's only had one rushing attempt this year, but last

706
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: year he had a six point two yards per carry.

707
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: He's going to get a C grade in this game.

708
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: I think he's in an OK spot. If you're in

709
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: a desperation play. Looking at the Seahawks side of things,

710
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold might take a chance on me.

711
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 2: He gets a B grade as well.

712
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: The only reason he's not getting an A here is

713
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: because of the Seahawks commitment to their run game, and

714
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: for good reason, they are the second lowest pass rate

715
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: over expectation right now.

716
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: Going to give him the be there.

717
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, speaking of that run game, the tales of

718
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: a split backfield were slightly over exaggerated entering this season.

719
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: Walker leaves sharps in run grade, rush yards over expectations

720
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: for Smith's tackles per attempt, explosive rush rate, yards after

721
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: contact per attempt, and red zone efficiency. Because of this,

722
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: he outrushed Charbed nineteen to twelve last week, and the

723
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: first time the season he's actually done that with both

724
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: played the Seahawks are third in EPA per excuse me,

725
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers a third and EPA per attempt allowed and

726
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: lowest rushing plays allowed. However, they did allow the most

727
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: receiving yards to the excuse me running backs in the league,

728
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a good spot for Walker. Zach Charbone,

729
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give a ce He's getting work, but

730
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: he's not doing much other than getting the touchdowns. He's

731
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: got a two point five yards per carrying a negative

732
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: one point three rushing yards over expectation per attempt. His

733
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: receiving work is capped a little bit due to Kenneth

734
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: Walker's involvement there, and he does get third down in

735
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: two minute drill snaps, but it's kind of hard to

736
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: bake on that efficiency against the stout Seahawks defense.

737
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigbug gets a B grade here.

738
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: His targets have dipped slightly, and that correlates with him

739
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: moving outside. Games one and two he was seventy one

740
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: percent wide with twenty two targets, and games three and

741
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: four he was eighty four percent wide targets with eleven targets.

742
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: He's still playing great, though, third among all receivers with

743
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per route run. He's getting a

744
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: B grade here in this game, and then Cooper Cup

745
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: gets a C. He's just been kind of rough overall,

746
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: only one game with more than five targets and thirty

747
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: one yards running only slightly fewer routes in JSN, but

748
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: the nineteen percent targets per route runches isn't gonna get

749
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: it done. With a very low six point six to

750
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: eight dot. Tory Horden, I'm on a bench. She's got

751
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: low volume. The two touchdowns are nice, but they're unsustainable.

752
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: And then aj Barner and Elijah Arroyo are a bench.

753
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: They're split almost perfectly even you just can't trust either

754
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: of them right now.

755
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: And I looked at making a move at one of

756
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: those Seattle tight ends, and that's what the same conclusion

757
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: I came up with is that's a split used tight

758
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: end situation, and you can't.

759
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: Have half of a tight end.

760
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: Look at John Husmith and Bat Pryormouth as examples of

761
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 3: guys that used to have value until they ended up

762
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 3: on the same team. All right, let's go to the

763
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: Texans taking on the Ravens. Here's your grades for the Texans.

764
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: A grade for Nico Collins and c. J. Stroud, who

765
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: might take a jansome quarterback, B grades for Nick Chubb,

766
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 3: Woody Marx, and Christian Kirk who is might take a

767
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: chance of receiver, and a C grade for Dalton Schultz.

768
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: In this game, let's go to Nico Collins obvious A grade.

769
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: He is my number two overall player at every position.

770
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: This week elite start against a deeply battered secondary as

771
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: described earlier. As for Dalton Schultz, the Ravens have allowed

772
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: the fifth most tight end receptions. Four different tight ends

773
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: have tops forty yards against them. And then the loss

774
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 3: of linebacker Rokwan Smith is going to help Shultz, although

775
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: they should get back linebacker Kyle van Noy who can

776
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: help defend Sheltz. Sheltz is a very pliable, plausible by

777
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: week helper this week, and so if you're if you've

778
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: got tight end issues, I think Dalton s Sheltz is

779
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: the guy to go get off the waiver wire. And

780
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: then that really just leaves us with the running game,

781
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: which has got a great opportunity. I love Nick Chubb

782
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: and Woody Marks I both get bees in a split backfield.

783
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 3: Marx made his move last week. We talked about him

784
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 3: on this show. And this is definitely I think it's

785
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: a peacock worthy because last week at this time we

786
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: were saying, hey, you're gonna have to spect you to

787
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 3: put in Woody Mark. This is such a good chance

788
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: right here, and he paid off last week. And Marx

789
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: is a very smooth, agile receiver. Last week's Mark saw

790
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: five targets, he got fifty yards through the air, and

791
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: he scored through the air.

792
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: That is possible here too.

793
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: And contrary to the larger fantasy community, Nick Chubb is

794
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 3: not dead. He remains the starting running back against a

795
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: defense that's allowed the most fantasy points to running backs

796
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: and a league were seven rushing touchdowns and they and

797
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: the Ravens loss defensive tackle NMDI not a BK and

798
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: that is a huge loss for them. To remember, we

799
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: are two weeks removed from the Lions runners rolling up

800
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty yards on the Ravens. So both

801
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb and Woody Marks excellent starts here. Going over

802
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: to the Ravens side, I've got no A grades. I've

803
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: got a B grade on Derrick Henry, C grade on

804
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: Za Flowers, Justice Hill and Mark Andrews. Everybody else is

805
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 3: on the bench. Cooper Rush is your starter for this one.

806
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson has been ruled out with his hamstring injury.

807
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: This is a crippling blow for a team that if

808
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: you start one in four, I believe your chance of making.

809
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 2: The playoffs is one percent.

810
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: And that's what the Ravens are looking at with Cooper

811
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: Rush as their quarterback. So let's go to Derrick Henry here.

812
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: Despite playing all four games, Derrick Henry ranks seventy sixth

813
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: in broken tackles.

814
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: He has four on the season.

815
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 3: Kyle Mnung Guy has five broken tackles and he's carried

816
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: the ball seventeen times in his NFL career. Also, Henry

817
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: fumbled in three or four games Cooper Rush at the helm.

818
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 3: So I think you can safely say the Texans are

819
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 3: going to work extra hard to take Derrick Henry out

820
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 3: of this game. But the Ravens' best chance for victory

821
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 3: is to get a signature classic Derrick Henry game going,

822
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna run him a lot. Houston's

823
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: pass rush and secondary excellent, their run defense is middle

824
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: of the pack. Henry here, I think gonna see twenty

825
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: ish carries hopefully can break some tackles. I've got a

826
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: B grade on him in a game where they just

827
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: have to get him going at all costs. As the

828
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: passing game with Cooper Rush at the helm, everybody goes

829
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 3: down a letter grade or two.

830
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: In this one. Jay Flowers some slumps to a C grade.

831
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 3: He's posted seven receptions in three or four games, which

832
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: has always been a limiting factor for Jay Flowers not

833
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 3: getting enough targets. But here I think he They've been

834
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 3: working to get him more and hopefully that'll be the case.

835
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 3: The problem is Jay Flowers, who runs from all parts

836
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: of the field. Normally they can find good matchups for him.

837
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: But Houston's entire secondary is good. They're cornerbacks Jalen Petrie

838
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: and Kamari Lassiter, Derek Stingley all good. So I can

839
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 3: only get to a C grade on Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews.

840
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 3: So I went back to Cooper Rush last year and saw, like,

841
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: how much did Cooper Rush use Jake Ferguson last year.

842
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: Ferguson exploding with targets this year. Last year totally overlooked

843
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 3: in Cooper Rush's starters starts and he started half the season.

844
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 3: Remember Cooper Rush did Jake Ferguson did not score one

845
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: touchdown in that half season, and he was tight end

846
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: thirtyty one under Cooper Rush. That worries me about Mark

847
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 3: Andrews quite a bit. The Texans are only giving up

848
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 3: thirty two yards to opposing tight ends per game.

849
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: That's not good.

850
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: And if Isaiah Likely's gonna get a couple of catches

851
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: that would further eat into this.

852
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: I can only get you to a C grade on

853
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews.

854
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: And then last guy to talk about Justice Hill without

855
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson and this batter defense. If you believe the

856
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: Ravens are gonna be playing from behind like I do,

857
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: that puts the Ravens in Justice Hill mode. That's like

858
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: last week his usage exploded when they got behind by

859
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 3: a lot. He's the pass catching back ten targets the

860
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: last two weeks. Is a viable PPR by week flex

861
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 3: starter with a C grade.

862
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 2: All right, our.

863
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: Final matchup of this segment is Dolphins taking on the Panthers.

864
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 4: Scott, Yeah, I don't love the Miami passing game here.

865
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: Tua Tagovailoa is getting a Panthers defense that is sixth

866
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 4: best against fantasy passers. No QB has over two hundred

867
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 4: and twenty passing yards and just four passing scores in

868
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 4: four games. That's doing part to j. C. Horn and

869
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: Mike Jackson both being top thirty corners per PFF and

870
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: it being the second toughest matchup for Fantasy wide receivers,

871
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 4: allowing the second fewest receptions, fewest yards and just two

872
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 4: wide receiver scores. Really tough matchup for the pass game here.

873
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 4: So I have Tua on the bench. Those four scores,

874
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 4: by the way, three of them came from Drake May,

875
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: who's on a different level from Tua.

876
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 5: If you ask me, so that is true.

877
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: Jalen Wattle will give a C grade too, though he

878
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: should get a slight uptick without Hill. He's got five

879
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: plus targets in all games. He should just get enough

880
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 4: on volume. Malak Washington I have on the bench. There's

881
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: a chance that Dolphin could splash. He's a great yards

882
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 4: after the catch guy, sixth in the league in that metric,

883
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 4: but I'm not starting him this first week. I think

884
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: he has more, you know, more value going forward. Potentially.

885
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 4: Carolina's been against qbs and wide receivers. They've led up

886
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 4: a little against tight ends. Brenton Strage had a good day.

887
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 4: Trey McBride a good day, Mike Kyle Pitts a decent day.

888
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 4: Even Higgins, backup tight end for the for the Cardinals,

889
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 4: had a good day. Hunters Long and Henry both scored,

890
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: so C grade there. Devin h. Chan is gonna get

891
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 4: a grade. Running Backs have dominated Carolina for two straight

892
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: years here basically the Panthers allowing nearly six yards per touch.

893
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 4: If a Chan gets his average of seventeen, that could

894
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 4: be a huge day for him. Ali Ollie Gordon's kind

895
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: of like a He's a bench grade, but he's a

896
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: desperation dart throw only fifteen snaps each the last two weeks,

897
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 4: but fifteen touches of those thirty snaps, and he gets

898
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 4: goal line work, so if you're really really desperate. But

899
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: I got a bench grade on him. Over on the

900
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 4: Panther side, double was my take a chance on me player,

901
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 4: so I got a grade on him. Only the Cowboys

902
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 4: allow more fantasy points to quarterbacks than the Dolphins, so

903
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 4: I do have a C grade on Bryce Young. He

904
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 4: might get more closer to the blowout blow up game

905
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 4: he had a couple of weeks ago than he does.

906
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 4: His other duds McMillan got an A grade on him.

907
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 4: Phukainakua and him are the only two tickets in every game,

908
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: and the Dolphins secondary is pretty banged up. And last,

909
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 4: but not least, I have a C grade on Tommy Tremble,

910
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 4: who gets the thirty easiest matchups for tight ends and

911
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 4: without Jatavian Sanders. Last week he had five for forty

912
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 4: two on eight targets. Great spot a lot of tight

913
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 4: ends doing work on that matchup.

914
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,959
Speaker 3: That is Tommy Tremble is a great deep dart throw

915
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: that nobody else is gonna have it. Talk about a

916
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 3: DFS difference maker as well, Tommy Tremble could very well

917
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 3: be that guy. That is a great call out. Love

918
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 3: love that Tommy Tremble angle right there. Our number two

919
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: Fantasy Football Weekly coming up, including three tough questions.

920
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: Play along see if you can go three and zero.

921
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: With our panel of experts as we tackle some of

922
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 3: the toughest topics in fantasy football, including what in the

923
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: world are we doing about Drake May Can he possibly

924
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: continue at this level? Find out when we come back

925
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back our number two Fantasy

926
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Scott Fish and Kent Wyrock

927
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 3: with you. Thank you for joining us. We've already broken

928
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: down on six, seven, seven matchups. You've still got a

929
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: handful left for you. But before we do that, it's

930
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: time for three tough questions.

931
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: We begin with.

932
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 6: This tough question Number one.

933
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 2: Drake May is currently quarterback four in fantasy scoring. Is

934
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: that a trend or a mirage? We begin with Scott Fish.

935
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 4: Come on, man, this is a trend. We called this charge.

936
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 4: We called it in the preseason. We both had him

937
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: ranked as a top ten quarterback. I believe before the

938
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: season it's what we thought. This week's matchup is a

939
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 4: little tougher, but so we'll see how that fares. But

940
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: we talked about he was our double digit round target.

941
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 4: The rushing is a thing too, that helps helps the floor.

942
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 4: He got more weapons in Diggs and Henderson, and as

943
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 4: dig snap snaps increase, and once we see Henderson finally

944
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 4: explode and be a better pass catcher, I mean, I

945
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 4: think this is legit. I think he's the top twelve

946
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 4: quarterback for the rest of the season.

947
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: All right, Kent May currently quarterback four in fantasy scoring?

948
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 2: Is that a trend or a mirage? Yeah? I think

949
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: it's a trend.

950
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: He may not maintain exactly QB four, but like Scott said,

951
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: top twelve is certainly in the realm of possibilities. You know,

952
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: he's been beating up on some easier teams, but I

953
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: think that's okay. You have to beat up on the

954
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: bad teams if you're a good quarterback. That's part of

955
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: your resume. And he's fourth in EPA per drop back,

956
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: fifth and completion percentage above expectation.

957
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: Those are stats that I put a lot of stock into.

958
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: For passers, his twenty six percent pressure to sack ratio

959
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: is a little concerning, and if he cleans that up,

960
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely.

961
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 2: More room to grow for him on the upside, even

962
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: without a start receiver.

963
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: Drake may doing this what happens when they actually get

964
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 3: some receiving talent on that team. You know, the rushing

965
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 3: has been very helpful. He doesn't get a lot of

966
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 3: designed runs, but may extends a lot of plays, and

967
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 3: he's a very willing scrambler. He'll just go and turn

968
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: up field and then that's very helpful.

969
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: Get this, I bet nobody listening knows this.

970
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 3: Drake May leads the NFL in completion percentage.

971
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 4: It's in my notes for my next matchups, so now

972
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 4: I don't have to mention any more.

973
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: Percent You did, no, and it's not dump off stuff,

974
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: So this is not a TUA high completion percentage thing.

975
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: Get this.

976
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: Drake May is throwing the sixth deepest pass and as

977
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 3: a seventy four percent completion rate, Drake May tangibly better

978
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: this year than last year.

979
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: Coming up against the Bills.

980
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 3: We'll we'll see what Scott thinks about him this week,

981
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 3: but I think he's got some prospects here and we'll

982
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: talk more about Drake May in just a minute.

983
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 6: Tough question Number two.

984
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: Chargers wide receiver Quinton Johnston is currently wide receiver four

985
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 3: in PPR scoring. Will he finish as a top ten

986
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 3: Fantasy wide receiver?

987
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 2: For this one? We go to Kent Wyrock. Yeah.

988
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: I was on the fence for this one, but I'm

989
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with no. I just don't think that Lad

990
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: McConkey is down and out for this offense. He's still

991
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: running more routes than Johnston is, and he's averaging more

992
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: separation per target. Thirty one percent of Johnston targets have

993
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: been contested catch which do tend to be streakier as

994
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: far as them producing, and Joe Alt just went down

995
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: for this offensive line. He's fourth in the past blocking grade.

996
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: The rest of their line is very suspect, so that

997
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: could lean into shorter eight out receivers like Keenan Allen

998
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: and Lad McConkey in the future.

999
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: Here all right, Scott.

1000
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: Chargers wide receiver Quinston Quinton Johnston is currently wide receiver four.

1001
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 3: Is he going to finish as a top ten receiver?

1002
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's very possible. Here, Kent

1003
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 4: on your contested catches stat That's what he came out

1004
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 4: of TCU known for is his deep play contested catch guy.

1005
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 4: That was his He came out a little bit raw

1006
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 4: and that was the thing he was super good at.

1007
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 4: So it's not surprising that's the thing he's super good at.

1008
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 4: In the NFL, Ladd has become a bit of a

1009
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 4: third wheel and I am waiting for that shoot at

1010
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 4: drop where Ladd starts taking more. But the Chargers are

1011
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 4: throwing the ball so much, even since the end of

1012
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 4: last it is kind of an air raid off. They

1013
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 4: are throwing the ball in absolute fun and like I

1014
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 4: steal a little bit of the Vinton Jackson, Mike Williams

1015
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 4: when healthy, Clinton Johnston the when healthy versions. So hopefully

1016
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 4: he can stay healthy, but just for fun, because I

1017
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 4: wanted to be let's say yes, let's say he's going

1018
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 4: to be a top ten wide receiver.

1019
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: The lead story here is that Quinton Johnson is no

1020
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: longer the league's preeminent ball dropper, as mentioned earlier in

1021
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 3: this segment. Just one drop so far through four games,

1022
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: So you can't be the league's pre eminent ball dropper

1023
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: at that rate. He does fill that valuable role as

1024
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 3: the big, physical receiver.

1025
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 2: Where it gets hazy is this.

1026
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: Part of being a great fantasy manager is being able

1027
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 3: to rewrite your mental narrative. I think we had given

1028
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: up on Quinton Johnston. Didn't want it. We thought the

1029
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 3: player we had seen through two years was the player

1030
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: he was going to be.

1031
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: When a lot of receivers it takes three seasons.

1032
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 3: You know, he's got a lot of touchdowns. It's tempting

1033
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 3: to take those touchdowns away goal for if he weren't

1034
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: for the touchdowns, but this is what he does with

1035
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: the big body. He should be a good end zone target.

1036
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 3: Now they haven't targeted him in the end zone yet,

1037
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: which is a little weird. I think they all have

1038
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 3: of opportunities to do that and that should provide some

1039
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 3: extra safety for him. His metrics, Quinton Johnson's metrics are good,

1040
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 3: not great.

1041
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: You know.

1042
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 3: He generally ranks between like wide receiver fifteen or riseiver

1043
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: twenty five and in a lot of different metrics, which

1044
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 3: is a huge improvement for him.

1045
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 2: But here's why we're gonna say.

1046
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 3: No on a top ten finish for Quentin Johnson. Lad

1047
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 3: McConkie's in the mix. As Quent adroitly said, top ten

1048
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 3: receivers are almost always alpha receivers on their team, and

1049
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 3: I don't know that Quinton Johnson's going to be able

1050
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 3: to be the alpha receiver because there's too many other

1051
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 3: mouths that need to get fed. With the two other

1052
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 3: receivers Keenan, Allen LADDI McConkie, we will say no.

1053
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 6: Tough question number three.

1054
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 3: There are two rookies who have been good in every

1055
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 3: game this year. That's Amika Buka and Indianapolis tight end

1056
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren. Who would you rather have for the season

1057
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 3: in a standard re draft league, and then who would

1058
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 3: you rather have going forward in a dynasty or Empire League.

1059
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: So a two part answer is what I'm looking for

1060
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 3: here Scott between Amika Egbuca and Tyler Warren.

1061
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: We start with Scott Fish.

1062
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, this one's rough.

1063
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 4: So the tight end position is kind of garbage a

1064
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 4: lot of the times, and people are strong, people are like,

1065
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 4: should I pick up Tubby trouble to throw in? Should

1066
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 4: I a lot of weeks? Right, So I do like

1067
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 4: having that tight end and not worrying. Matt Harrison before

1068
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 4: the season Fantasy Football almost daily is back, and right

1069
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 4: before the season, he asked me my two dynasty by

1070
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 4: lows and I said, they're not exactly by lows, but

1071
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 4: they're by lows based on where they will be at

1072
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 4: the end of the year. And my answers were, Tyler

1073
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 4: Warren and Tucker Kraft are going to be top five

1074
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 4: tight ends at the end of the year.

1075
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 2: Oh well, nice, nice peacock for you.

1076
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, So I want that tight end, that top

1077
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 4: five tight end long term, I don't have to worry

1078
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 4: about tight end. I I can figure out wide receivers.

1079
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 4: I can pick stuff off the waiver where to figure

1080
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 4: out wide receivers If I don't have a Mika, but

1081
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 4: Tyler Warren just stick him in. I don't even need

1082
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 4: a bench, just stick him in my tight ends spot.

1083
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 4: I like that's the way I like to build a roster.

1084
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 4: So I'm going with Warren.

1085
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm both so Warren and Warren correct redraft and dynasty.

1086
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 4: Sure, redraft, it's a little stickier wicket there, but I

1087
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 4: will go with Warren on both.

1088
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Warren on both.

1089
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 3: Kent, there are two rookies that have been good in

1090
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: every game this year and only two a meekeag Buka,

1091
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren. Who would you rather have in standard redraft leagus?

1092
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 3: Who would you rather have in dynasty leagues?

1093
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the split answer here, and

1094
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with redrafting Buca Dynasty Warren. I think

1095
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: in season, especially this season, there's a lot of top

1096
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers that are injured or have their quarterbacks injured

1097
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: right now. In the scarcity of having to start two

1098
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: to four wide receivers depending on your league settings, it

1099
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: really favors having a good receiver leg Bukra on your team.

1100
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 5: True.

1101
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: In dynasty, however, Warren's are locked in in one for

1102
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: the next decade, it seems right now, based on his

1103
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: performance as a rookie. So I really hate trying to

1104
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: dig through the bargain bin on dynasty waivers to figure

1105
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: out tight ends. So I'll just take Warren there and

1106
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 1: lock it in forever.

1107
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got Warren and Warren as the correct answer

1108
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 3: for this one, you know, and let's assume they're both

1109
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: gonna be similarly great and they both look like they

1110
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 3: are headed for stardom here. Most years there's about forty

1111
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 3: wide receivers that you can just set it and forget it.

1112
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 3: You know, this year wide receiver forty gives you Chris Olave,

1113
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir. Those are guys you just start

1114
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 3: every week. You don't even have to think about it.

1115
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 3: At tight end, there's about six of those guys most

1116
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 3: years that are set it and forget it.

1117
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 2: There's only six. You're in a twelve team league.

1118
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 3: That means there's your half of the league is scrambling

1119
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 3: to try to find a weekend and week out starter

1120
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 3: at tight end. If you've got Tyler Warren, you've got

1121
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 3: a huge advantage over half of your league. He is

1122
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 3: the answer for me on both sides of this thing.

1123
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 3: Because I don't want to go to war every week going,

1124
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 3: Is this a Kyle Pitts week?

1125
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 2: Nothing?

1126
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 7: Right?

1127
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 4: Now?

1128
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 2: It seems like many of those weeks are yes.

1129
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 3: Coup of the weeks are yes for Kyle. But does

1130
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 3: he have a touchdown yet this year?

1131
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 2: Yes? He does. Listened last week he did? There you go,

1132
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: all right? We got one touchdown on Kyle Pitts.

1133
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's go back to the matchups Kent. We

1134
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 3: go to the Giants taking on the Saints. Jackson Dart

1135
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 3: broke his maiden last week. We got a chance to

1136
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 3: get to see him up close and personal. As expected,

1137
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 3: it was all short passing and a lot of running.

1138
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 3: That's exactly what we expected from Jackson Dart. But now

1139
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 3: there's no Molik Neighbors talk us through the passing side

1140
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 3: of this game against the Saints.

1141
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Molik Neighbors going down really took a lot of

1142
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: the glimmer off the Jackson Dart upside case. I will

1143
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: give him a c in this game though, just basically

1144
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: because of the rushing floor and I think he could

1145
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: make something to work through the air. But in his

1146
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: first start he only attempted twenty passes for one hundred

1147
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: and eleven yards in a touchdown but he did rush

1148
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: ten times for fifty four yards and had that score

1149
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: on the so that was pretty nice. And six of

1150
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: those were designed runs, which is worth noting. The Saints

1151
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: have allowed the fourth highest EPA per drop back, but

1152
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: have allowed only the sixth least explosive passing plays, so

1153
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: teams are marching up the field on them but not

1154
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: really giving up big stuff. So I'll give him a

1155
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: C grade. Camp'skataboo. He's got a B grade. Started debute

1156
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: twenty five rushes only for seventy nine yards, but he

1157
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: did catch both his targets for eleven yards.

1158
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: At three point two yards per carrio.

1159
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: It's a little disappointing, but it was only point two

1160
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: below expectation. He just kind of got stuffed up at

1161
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: the line pretty often. It wasn't really much of his

1162
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: fault Tyrone Tracy not gonna play this next week, Probably

1163
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: gonna be back next week.

1164
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1165
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: We're not quite sure there. But he's at least startable

1166
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: for this week, So why not take the volume play

1167
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: and give him a bee Wandell Robinson, I'll give a

1168
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: B grade two.

1169
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 2: He should be the target leader going forward.

1170
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: He saw thirty one percent of the target share after

1171
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: Neighbors went down in this game.

1172
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: The problem was that was only five targets.

1173
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: You know, based on that twenty attempts that I saw

1174
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: from Jackson Dart and his yard yardage totals from the

1175
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: past two we're just fourteen and twenty six yards. Really

1176
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: uninspiring stuff. And in fact, it's been super weird. He's

1177
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: had two games with an eight out above sixteen yards

1178
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: and two below four. It's just a quagmire of a

1179
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: receiver right now. So he's startable for sure. You're probably

1180
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna get targets, but it's not a super huge upside.

1181
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, on the other hand, you know, I think

1182
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: he's worth picking up. He gets a C grade just

1183
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: because you got Jackson Dard, who did like the deep

1184
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: ball in college. We talked about that a few episodes ago,

1185
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: and I think that if you could get one or

1186
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: two good throws to Darius Slayton, that's all it really

1187
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: takes for a good day for him. So if you're

1188
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: in a dire spot between buys and injuries, you can

1189
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: throw him into flex and just pray for a deep.

1190
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 2: Connection and then THEO Johnson. I'll give him a C grade.

1191
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: He did also have thirty one percent, but we're gonna

1192
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: talk about him a little bit more in premature speculation

1193
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,959
Speaker 1: and then looking over on the safe side of the ball.

1194
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: You know, Spencer Ratler, he's still benching him. He's got

1195
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: multiple offensive line injuries. Not worth playing in any format.

1196
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, I'll give a C grade to him. He

1197
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: has three straight games with nineteen plus touches, but only

1198
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: one game with more than seventy two scrimmage yards this year.

1199
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: It hasn't been very pretty. Hasn't scored a touchdown since

1200
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: Week one. And we talked a little bit about Condray

1201
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: Miller coming in taking a little bit of his red

1202
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: zone duties. That's been a big problem for Alvin Kamara

1203
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: as far as this last week when he out touched

1204
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: Kamara in the red zone, and that should be a

1205
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: big worry for Kamara going forward.

1206
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give him a C grade.

1207
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,919
Speaker 1: Condriy Miller, like we said, charge was take a chance

1208
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: on me player.

1209
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: He had eleven rushes.

1210
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: That was cool, but still low target percentage or excuse

1211
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: me, the offensive snap percentage. Chris o'lave gets a C grade

1212
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: in this game. He finally scored his first touchdown of

1213
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: the year long waiting, but he also had his lowest target,

1214
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: reception yardage and receiving grade of the season, so it's

1215
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: been kind of a rough outlook for him. The Giant

1216
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: secondary is all around pretty solid. None of their cornerbacks

1217
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: have a passer rating above ninety three so far this

1218
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: year went targeted, so there's a chance that he could

1219
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: have a decent game, but it's pretty low upside. Rashid

1220
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 1: shied you bench, it's more of the same from him.

1221
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: He's at consistently four receptions forty two yards roughly, but

1222
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: it's just not much and there's not much of a

1223
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: deep out for him anymore. Juwan Johnson I will give

1224
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: a C grade two. It's unfortunately he's questionable for a

1225
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: Week five with an ankle injury and had a low

1226
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: target outcome this last week. So I think he's gonna

1227
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: be fine. He's playing ninety percent of the offensive snaps.

1228
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: But you just got to dial back the expectations a

1229
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: little bit, you know.

1230
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 3: For Juwan Johnson, who was one of my favorite players

1231
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 3: going into the season as a deep sleeper, Austin Moro

1232
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 3: coming back, and Taysom Hill, there was talk Taysom Hill.

1233
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 2: May never play again.

1234
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 3: He's coming back soon too, true, John Train might be

1235
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 3: coming to an end. Unfortunately, we'll have to see how

1236
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 3: that one ends up playing out. When we come back,

1237
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 3: Commanders take on the Chargers. Jayde and Daniels back for

1238
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 3: the Commanders.

1239
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: Is it start? Everybody? Who's left to start among the Commanders?

1240
00:58:46,560 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: Find out when we came back. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1241
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 2: Paul Cheargie and Scott Fish can't wyrock with you.

1242
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 3: A big block of matchups here, beginning with Commanders taking

1243
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 3: on the Chargers. Jayden Daniels returns. That is great news.

1244
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 3: We'll get to him in just a minute. No Terry McLaurin,

1245
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 3: No Noah Brown in this game, so it's gonna be

1246
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 3: more of Chris Moore and Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jalen Lane.

1247
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:21,919
Speaker 2: We don't love that part.

1248
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 3: Good news is yeah, Deebo Samuel is going to play

1249
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 3: in this one. He's got a heal injury that kept

1250
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 3: him out of practice Wednesday Thursday, so do note that.

1251
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 3: But with McLaurin and Deebo out, sorry McLaurin and Brown out,

1252
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 3: Deebo last week migrated all over the field. Normally he

1253
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: plays very much the slot, but they used him all

1254
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 3: over the field last week and that helps him. Because

1255
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 3: the Chargers have been great against slot receivers thanks in

1256
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 3: part to Derwin James, who is great against slot receivers.

1257
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: This should break Deebo out into the outside. He'll still

1258
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 3: attract plenty of defensive attention no matter where he lines up,

1259
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 3: but because this passing game will largely go through him now,

1260
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 3: we will give Deebo Samuel a B grade for this one.

1261
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 3: As for zach Ertz, he will play an important role

1262
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: with these receivers out. With all the wide receiver injuries,

1263
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 3: Commanders are gonna need Ertz. But that was the case

1264
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: last week as well. And you only got four targets

1265
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 3: and who catches last week? So there's no guarantees here

1266
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: on Ertz at all. I worry he's going to see

1267
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 3: a lot of star safety Derwin James, and especially if

1268
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 3: Deebo can't go, although he should go, Chargers have held

1269
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 3: the last two opponents to nine tight end yards and

1270
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 3: thirty tight end yards as a team.

1271
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: That's it. I don't love this matchup, so C grade

1272
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: on zach Ertz and that's all I can do. For him.

1273
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 3: So let's get to Jade and Daniels. Now luke warm

1274
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 3: on the receiving situation here, and I'm worried. So with

1275
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 3: this knee injury, he's gonna be wearing a knee brace,

1276
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 3: and I've got a lot of worry that dan Quinn

1277
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 3: is going to try to protect that knee and not

1278
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 3: dial up designed runs for jad and Daniels. I'm worried

1279
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 3: about that. Then you don't have two of the starting receivers.

1280
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 3: That's not great. Deebo Samuel's going to be limping with

1281
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 3: a heel injury.

1282
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. This doesn't feel good.

1283
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: Charges rank number five in passing yards allowed, number two

1284
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: in passing touchdowns allowed. I've been between it being a

1285
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 3: C grade for Jaden Daniels. I think I've talked myself

1286
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 3: down to a C grade on Daniels because I don't

1287
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 3: think the rushing is going to be there with the

1288
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 3: knee brace.

1289
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: But you know, he's.

1290
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels, and I can understand if you may feel

1291
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 3: like you can't possibly sit him. That brings us to

1292
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: the Washington running backs, and what a mess this is.

1293
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Yuck. It's a three man rotation.

1294
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 3: It's you know, everybody's doing okay, but nobody's doing great

1295
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: and nobody's taken the job for themselves. They opposing runners

1296
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 3: have been bottled up by the Chargers, including Ashton Genty

1297
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 3: and Cam Skataboo the last couple of weeks, and the

1298
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 3: Chargers have allowed the fewest fantasy points to runners. They're

1299
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 3: seeing the fewest total rushes against them of any team.

1300
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 3: So all three of the Washington Runners are on the bench.

1301
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 3: That's just the sad reality of that situation. Let's go

1302
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 3: to the Chargers side. The offensive line is missing three

1303
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 3: players Joe Alt, McKai Beckton, and Rashaun Slater, and that

1304
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 3: is a major bummer and makes everything harder for the

1305
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 3: Chargers and it really puts some disaster scenarios on the table.

1306
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 2: We saw the team unravel last week.

1307
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: As a result, everybody dips really a full letter grade

1308
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 3: in my mind because of the state of the offensive line.

1309
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 3: For Omario and Hampton particular, he's getting a ton of usage.

1310
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: You can't complain about the volume.

1311
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 3: The backup running back Son Haskins hasn't seen the field yet.

1312
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 5: You know.

1313
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 3: We love that kind of rare, workhorse runner that we're

1314
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 3: getting out with Mariy and Hampton, and he seems to

1315
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 3: be getting better every game.

1316
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 2: I love that part. But Commanders are a good run defense. Now.

1317
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 3: They did get destroyed by John Robinson last week, but.

1318
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: He's pretty good. He's pretty special.

1319
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 3: Everybody else prior to Bajon averaging just three point one

1320
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 3: yards per carry and even quality volume runners have been stymied.

1321
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 3: So Omarion Hampton just a B grade in this one.

1322
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Let's go over to the passing game. Quinton Johnson we

1323
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 3: talked about extensively earlier. I'm not gonna spend a ton

1324
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 3: of time here, but note this. Usually he wins with

1325
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 3: his physicality. He's going up against arguably the most physical

1326
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 3: cornerback in the league, Marshawn Lattimore, and that could be

1327
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 3: a great battle worth watching. Latimer did give up a

1328
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 3: touchdown to Drake London, another big bodied receiver, last week,

1329
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 3: so Latimer can be beaten. But this is not the

1330
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 3: easier matchup against smaller cornerbacks that Quinton Johnson's used to.

1331
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 2: So Johnston comes in with a B grade in this one.

1332
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 3: Ladd McConkey, Huh, you're too good to keep ignoring him.

1333
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 3: I gotta believe Jim Harbas feeling like we need to

1334
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 3: get lad going, But that's total speculation. I could have

1335
01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 3: said that in week two. I could have said that

1336
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 3: week three. I want to believe that they're going to

1337
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 3: force some passes into him. He runs from the slot

1338
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 3: a lot, he'll draw slot cornerback Mike Sandrastill the most.

1339
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 3: He has been torched for an eighty one percent completion rate,

1340
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 3: and he has given up a touchdown this year.

1341
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Had McConkey.

1342
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 3: I can't get him above a C grade, but I

1343
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: do want to believe this is going to be the

1344
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 3: game where he steps forward. Keenan Allen also historically had

1345
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: a slot player, but they're using him outside on sixty

1346
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 3: percent of his routes, which is really a big difference

1347
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 3: for Keenan Allen this year, and he's been good. He's

1348
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 3: had at least seven targets in every game. He's scored

1349
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 3: touchdowns in three of four games, and only five teams

1350
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 3: have allowed more wide receiver scores than the Commanders have.

1351
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 3: So Keenan Allen remains a shockingly safe B grade in

1352
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 3: this game. The tight end position for the Commanders is

1353
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 3: a little bit up in the air right now because

1354
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 3: Ronde Gadsden, the rookie, had been getting extra playing time

1355
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 3: because everybody else is hurt.

1356
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: But Will Disley looks.

1357
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 3: To come back this week, and that might nuke Geton's

1358
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: playing time or put him into roughly an even time share.

1359
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 3: But if he does not go, if Disley does not go,

1360
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Gadsden becomes a bye week pivot guy because the Commanders

1361
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 3: have allowed the third most yards to tight ends. As

1362
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 3: for Justin Herbert, I've given his his receivers BB and

1363
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: C grades. I've got a B grade on Herbert, but again,

1364
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: there is some big downside with this offensive line, and

1365
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 3: there's this scenario here where he's just ambushed and running

1366
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 3: for his life this whole game, and it never quite

1367
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 3: comes together. So consider it a high risk, high reward

1368
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 3: B grade on Herbert. All right, Scott, Let's go over

1369
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 3: to our next matchup, and that is the Lions taking

1370
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 3: on the Bengals last time.

1371
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 2: The Lions had a brutal match up last week against Cleveland.

1372
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 3: The week before it was super easy with the Ravens

1373
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 3: and they would completely berserk and we had two hundred

1374
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 3: and sixty rushing yards. This seems like an easy matchup

1375
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 3: on paper, as this say start everybody for the Lions

1376
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 3: pretty much.

1377
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 4: The Bengals have allowed the second most scored and third

1378
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 4: most yards to quarterback, including multiple scores in three straight.

1379
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 4: Like you said, it's a lot closer to that highest

1380
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 4: over under of the week shootout type type situation, except

1381
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 4: for this might be.

1382
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 5: More of a blowout.

1383
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 4: And Goff had five scores in that Ravens game you mentioned,

1384
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 4: So I have an A grade on Jared Goff.

1385
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 5: I have an A grade.

1386
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 4: I'm on ro Saint Brown, who has six scores in

1387
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 4: the last three weeks, seven catches for seventy plus yards

1388
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 4: in all three of those. A grade there I had.

1389
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 4: Jamison Williams was my take a chance on me player.

1390
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 4: Over to Sam Laporta C grade. It's really weird what's

1391
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 4: happened to Sam Loporto. Over the last year or so.

1392
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 4: The Bengals have allowed the fourth most receptions and ninth

1393
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 4: most yards to tight ends. However, but since the opener

1394
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 4: where Laporta was targeted nine times times, yeah, Sam Laporta

1395
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 4: is over four targets per game one in the red zone.

1396
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 4: So the most I can get to is a C grade.

1397
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 4: He did catch ten of those twelve yards, though, so

1398
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 4: ten of those twelve targets, so secret there. Jamiir gives

1399
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 4: auto automatca grade. He gets about twenty touches a game

1400
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 4: and nine of those being catches. This is the second

1401
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 4: easiest matchup for running backs, and sixteen touches has basically

1402
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 4: guaranteed ninety in a score against this Bengals team that's

1403
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 4: bottom five in several categories. I have a B grade

1404
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 4: on David Montgomery, who I think may get a little

1405
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 4: special treatment here. This is the second best matchup for

1406
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 4: fantasy backs. As I mentioned, the matchup's awesome, great, and

1407
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 4: Monte Montgomery is number one in the league in rushing

1408
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 4: yards over expectation was that's great, But this is a

1409
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 4: little narrative driven. It's his first game going poop back

1410
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 4: to his hometown of Sincy, and we talked about home

1411
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 4: games on AH, but this one's a little special. His

1412
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:47,439
Speaker 4: whole family's going super excited. His sister was paralyzed from

1413
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 4: the neck down in a car accident last year and

1414
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 4: her son built leukemia and this is the first time

1415
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 4: they get to see him play live and he wants

1416
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 4: to show up for them. And Dan Campbell feels like

1417
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 4: the a coach that would lean into that and push

1418
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 4: for David Montgomery to have a huge game. Yeah, so

1419
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 4: it's not stat based, it's very narrative base. But I

1420
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 4: think a B grade, maybe even an A might be

1421
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 4: possible here for David Montgomery on the Bengals side. Man,

1422
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 4: this offense has been rough. Browning's gonna be on the bench.

1423
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 4: He's under one hundred and fifty yards in each of

1424
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 4: his false starts, and the Lions get a lot of pressure,

1425
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 4: which which really made Browning look bad against the Vikings.

1426
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 4: I'm still giving Chase a B and a Higgins a C,

1427
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 4: though might be a little squeaky wheel game for a

1428
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 4: frustrated Chase. He had five for fifty last week. Robot

1429
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 4: Dunes was able to explode on the Lions. They're gonna

1430
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 4: be behind all games, so they're gonna have to try

1431
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 4: to pass more, and wide receivers are averaging ten for

1432
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,480
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty and a score.

1433
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:51,839
Speaker 5: On the Lions.

1434
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 4: If you split that up in a decent way, because

1435
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 4: it's so centralized to two players, you might get two

1436
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 4: decent games out of that. And for Chase Brown the

1437
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 4: best I can get as a volume C. You're going

1438
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 4: to hope for a fifty to seventy five yards, maybe

1439
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 4: a couple of catches, maybe you get lucky with a score.

1440
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 4: Three of the four backs to face the Lions did score.

1441
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 4: Brown only touched the ball thirteen and fourteen times in

1442
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 4: the blowouts. The two closer games he touched it five, six,

1443
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 4: seven more times, So it's not good for him. The

1444
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 4: game script's not going to be good for him. He's

1445
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 4: got the second worst yards per carrying the league, but

1446
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 4: he's still getting that volume.

1447
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 2: C That all makes sense. That all makes sense.

1448
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,959
Speaker 3: Let's go over to Broncos taking on the Eagles.

1449
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 2: Can't for the Broncos.

1450
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 3: We got a much better game from bow Knicks, who

1451
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 3: had been languishing, But now he goes against the Eagles,

1452
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 3: and I think it's not a certainty that we're going

1453
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 3: to have back to back strong starts for bow Nicks here.

1454
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1455
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It's coming off his best game of the season.

1456
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: He was QB five with twenty six points, seven Fantasy points.

1457
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: A really nice game for him, and he has seemed

1458
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to clean up some of the rougher parts of his game.

1459
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: He's had just one turn of worthy player in the

1460
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: last two weeks. He's been QB six and passing grade

1461
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: then during that stretch and fifth lowest pressure to sack grate.

1462
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 2: So he's looking better.

1463
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: But that Eagles defense is the fifth lowest passing success

1464
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: rate allowed.

1465
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 2: They are tough, like you said, but you.

1466
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: Know what, Nick started slow last year too, so maybe

1467
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: that's just who he is.

1468
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 2: I'll give him a C grade here. On the rushing attack,

1469
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 2: we kind of got a two headed dragon going on

1470
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 2: here with JK. Dobbins and RJ. Harvey.

1471
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: I'm giving them both seas because of this matchup and

1472
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 1: because of the split work.

1473
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 2: JK.

1474
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,600
Speaker 1: Dobbins is coming off his best game in terms of

1475
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: rushing yards and he's fifth in rushing yards over expectation

1476
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: on the season, but he is seeding the red zone

1477
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: work to RJ. Harvey, who in Week four had three

1478
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: rushing attempts at a target where Dobbins just had the

1479
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: one rushing attempt, so there's a lot more red zone

1480
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: work for him.

1481
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: And then r J.

1482
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: Harvey is playing played forty one percent of the snaps

1483
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: last week and his workload is increasing, but it's still

1484
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: just not enough to really get a whole lot done.

1485
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: Beyond that C grade as well.

1486
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton is getting a B grade here, he's just

1487
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: a lunch pale, high end wide receiver. Two five plus receptions,

1488
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: sixty one plus yards and touchdown in three games this year.

1489
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: He's doing his best work, but he's upside his cap

1490
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 1: playing against Quinnon Mitchell, who's a very tough cornerback allowing

1491
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: just a forty four percent catch rate. Troy Franklin, I'm

1492
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. I was on the bench

1493
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: to bench him as excuse me on the fence to

1494
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: bench him as well. But he's had a couple of

1495
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: rough drops the last two weeks and will be playing

1496
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 1: against Cooper Dijon in the slot.

1497
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty tough matchup for him. But if you do need.

1498
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 1: A dart throw, he's got a lot of targets so

1499
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: far and he's running eighty one percent of the route,

1500
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: so he's worth a shot.

1501
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims, on the other hand, he's a bench.

1502
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: Yes, he caught all six targets for sixty nine yards

1503
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: last week, but he only ran fifty one percent of

1504
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: the routes and only had nine percent of the air yards,

1505
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: which is kind of supposed to be his deal. So

1506
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 1: for him to be that low is pretty restrictive. And

1507
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: then Evan Ingram. If you're even thinking about playing him, don't.

1508
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: He missed a week with a back injury, but he

1509
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: had seven targets, but he only turned it into twenty

1510
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: nine yards. He's not worth starting right now. If we

1511
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: look at the Eagles side of the ball, A Jalen Hurts,

1512
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: I'll give it B grade two. He's quarterback five on

1513
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: the year. He's got some real glass cannon vibes right

1514
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,679
Speaker 1: now with one hundred and fifty two passing yards per game,

1515
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: and all five of his passing touchdowns were just in

1516
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. The Broncos our bottom five in

1517
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: both explosive passing and rushing plays allowed, so it's a

1518
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: tougher matchup and we'll cap him at a B. Sakwan Barkley,

1519
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C grade. He's our running

1520
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: back thirteen on the year. Hasn't scored more than sixteen

1521
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: point four fantasy points, hasn't had a single game with

1522
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: one hundred plus scrimmage yards.

1523
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Yet it's just.

1524
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Not coming to him, and I don't really see much

1525
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: of a reason for that to happen against the Denver

1526
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: defense either, So we're just gonna give him a C

1527
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: and hopefully jump bound a little bit.

1528
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, go for it.

1529
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 3: I disagree in that Barkley has struggled. He's barely three

1530
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 3: yards per carry. But the way you beat the Broncos

1531
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: is on the ground. You know, you've got they have

1532
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 3: the best pass rush in the NFL, they've got the

1533
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 3: most quarterback orrees, they've got the elite cornerbacks, Patrick Sartan,

1534
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 3: Riley Moss. The way you beat the Broncos is you

1535
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: run the ball. And I see a huge volume game

1536
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 3: coming from Saquon Barkley.

1537
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Hopefully, yes that all.

1538
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 3: You know, that all ends up, it ends up coming

1539
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: together from here. I think I think it does, and

1540
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 3: I think Barkley is gonna have a game that's more

1541
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 3: like what we saw last year.

1542
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Totally fair. I mean, obviously you're playing him, so there's

1543
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: not much you can do about it. But uh yeah,

1544
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: it's just been a rough start to his twenty twenty

1545
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: five season for sure. AJ Brown, I'm gonna give a

1546
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: C grade two as well. They say the squeaky wheel

1547
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: gets the grease, but he's taking the grease and just

1548
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: kind of using it as a hand cream. It seems

1549
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: like he only caught two of his eight targets or

1550
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: excuse me, of his seven targets this last week, and

1551
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: he's had some really rough weeks with a lot of targets.

1552
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 2: So two of his three.

1553
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: Weeks with eight plus targets were twenty seven yards and

1554
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: seven yards last week, so really really ugly stuff from

1555
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: AJ Brown. Right now, he is second in the league

1556
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: in target chare, but it's just a low volume passing

1557
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: attack and he's getting the patricks Artan experience, so he's

1558
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: getting a C grade and you don't feel great about it.

1559
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith, I will also give a C grade too.

1560
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: He had two just two targets last week, but he

1561
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: actually has more yards than AJ Brown through four weeks,

1562
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: and he has the lowest excuse me, he has the

1563
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: lowest yards per route run receiving grade a dot of

1564
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: his career so far through four weeks, so he's off

1565
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: to kind of a rough start of this year as well.

1566
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, I will give a B grade to the

1567
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: tight end experience, as we all know, can be kind.

1568
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 2: Of restrictive, so he gets a good starting grade here.

1569
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: He's coming off a two touchdown game against the Bucks

1570
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: and he runs eighty four percent of the Eagles routes,

1571
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: which is good for fifth most in the league. So

1572
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: he's just going to be a solid starting tight end

1573
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: for you.

1574
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 2: Be grade.

1575
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,440
Speaker 3: When we come back, it is time for premature speculation.

1576
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna give you three players you'll want to pick

1577
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 3: up now, but don't people will be trying to pick

1578
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 3: up extra find out whose they are when we come back.

1579
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 3: Plus our final set of matchups including Chiefs versus Jaguars.

1580
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 3: Is Travis Kelcey a safe start to find out when

1581
01:14:51,800 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 3: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment Fantasy

Speaker 2: Fantasylife dot Com.

1594
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 3: This is a segment we call premature Speculation, where we

1595
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 3: give you three players that normally.

1596
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 2: People can be trying to pick up next week.

1597
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 3: Ready on your team because you're listening to this show.

1598
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 3: Begin with Scott Fish who was your first premature speculation player?

1599
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going with Isaiah Bond, wide receiver Browns. It's

1600
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 4: a little bit of a tougher matchup this week, but

1601
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 4: he's not going to see Isaiah Rodgers. He'll be on

1602
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 4: the other side. His route percent has jumped thirteen percent

1603
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,719
Speaker 4: each week. He has ten targets in the last two

1604
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 4: games till Mint will be out Dylan and Dylan Gabriel

1605
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 4: is making his first start, so is Bond. He runs

1606
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:31,879
Speaker 4: a full rout route tree can be used on screens, RPOs, slants, four, three, nine, speed,

1607
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 4: just and last game great diving catch, quick pass, broken tackles.

1608
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 4: He looked, he looked like a legit player out there. Also,

1609
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 4: he's currently getting one hundred percent of Dylan Gabriel's targets.

1610
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 5: And if that.

1611
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 4: So, if Dylan throws it thirty times a lot Isaiah Bond.

1612
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot high expectations for Bond in

1613
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 3: this particular rack. Coming up with Minnesota but you might

1614
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 3: want him down downstream anyway.

1615
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 4: It's kind of like my respect of Woody Marks two

1616
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 4: weeks ago. You didn't want him as much.

1617
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 3: To have that right exactly exactly, I kent your premature speculation.

1618
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 1: Player, Yeah, I'm going with THEO Johnson tight end on

1619
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. You know, obviously it's unfortunate that

1620
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: Elik Neighbors went down, But after he went down, THEO

1621
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: Johnson was tied with Wando Robinson in target share with

1622
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: thirty point eight percent of the targets. And so he's

1623
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: got an interesting opportunity here. He's a nine point nine

1624
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: to nine RAS player. He's the second highest tight end

1625
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty seven, and we know that tight end

1626
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: athleticism correlates to production better than any other offensive position.

1627
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: He's a high school Canadian football convert. He's got a

1628
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: fun backstory. He played behind Brenton Strange and Tyler Warren

1629
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: in college. He's got a breakout opportunity. He might not

1630
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: be a huge play this week, but certainly could be

1631
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: playable in.

1632
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 2: Future weeks for sure.

1633
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 3: All Right, THEO Johnson gigantic, absolutely huge on field even

1634
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 3: though by NFL, and he is massive my premature speculation

1635
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 3: players Miami wide receiver Maleik Washington. Tyreek Hill's leaving behind

1636
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 3: seven targets per game, twenty six routes twenty eight percent

1637
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 3: target chair. It's got to be more than twenty six routes.

1638
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 3: My notes have to be wrong there. I'm gonna guess

1639
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 3: that's like forty six routes. He's got experience running from

1640
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 3: all parts of the field, just like Tyreek Hill. You know,

1641
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,799
Speaker 3: Tyrek Hill ran from left right slot. So does Malik Washington,

1642
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,879
Speaker 3: so we can walk right into those Tyreek Hill routes.

1643
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 3: We Malak Washington's been used almost entirely on short passes,

1644
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 3: but I think his route tree's going to expand as

1645
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 3: he at gets asked to fill in for Tyreek Hill.

1646
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 2: So you know, we don't like what happened to Tyreek

1647
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: Hill at all.

1648
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,719
Speaker 3: We never root for injury, but sometimes there are players

1649
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 3: who can take advantage of the opportunity and the leak.

1650
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 2: Washington is going to be that guy.

1651
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to our final two set of matchups,

1652
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 3: beginning with Scott Fish.

1653
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 2: Patriots are taking on the Bills. Scott. You we had

1654
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 2: earlier talked about Drake May and how much we love

1655
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

1656
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills are giving up the most quarterback rushing

1657
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 3: yards league.

1658
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 4: Yes, that's gonna happen when you face Justin Fields, Lamar

1659
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 4: Jackson and even Spencer Rattler getting in on it. Drake

1660
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 4: May is adept in that area, so he should be fine.

1661
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 4: He's put up eight hundred yards and eight scores in

1662
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 4: just the last three games.

1663
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 5: Drake May has Bill's.

1664
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 4: However, allowing the fewest passing yards and just six scores

1665
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 4: and only five explosive twenty plus yard completions. So our

1666
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 4: league leader in completion percentage, as we mentioned earlier, has

1667
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,839
Speaker 4: got a tough job. But there will be four Bills

1668
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 4: players out for this one. They're missing at Oliver on

1669
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,799
Speaker 4: the line, Matt Mlano and Dorian Williams in the middle,

1670
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 4: and Dorian Strong in the back end. So maybe there's

1671
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,559
Speaker 4: some room here for Drake May to get a B grade.

1672
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 4: I moved him all the way up to the B

1673
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 4: grade with all the injuries. R C grade on steff

1674
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 4: On Diggs. He's really the only wide receiver in New England.

1675
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 4: He is the only wide receiver in New England with

1676
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 4: more than six catches since Week one and I don't

1677
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 4: mean six in a game. I mean all the other

1678
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 4: year wide receivers have six catches combined since Week one. Wow,

1679
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,759
Speaker 4: he's only playing fifty or sixty fifty to sixty percent

1680
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 4: of the snaps, but it's ticking up. He's second in

1681
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 4: the team on targets and the Bills have allowed five

1682
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 4: different wide receivers to score three of those. Three of

1683
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,879
Speaker 4: those five were the team's top target wide receiver, Hunter Henry.

1684
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 4: I'm only going to C grade. I know that he's

1685
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 4: a top five tight end right now. It was one

1686
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 4: giant week on. It was one really really big week

1687
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 4: so far, but he is still holding down that twenty

1688
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 4: plus percent target share and red zone share, which is

1689
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 4: it's what you want. Bill's do rank second against tight

1690
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 4: ends and their only real test was Joan Johnson last

1691
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 4: week who went three for twenty eight. So will we

1692
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 4: will see how that fares. But I had to give

1693
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 4: a starting grade on him. He's scored a two straight games.

1694
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 4: Ramandri Stevenson and Trevion Henderson. I'm gonna split and give

1695
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 4: C grades to You're not starting Antonio Gibson even though

1696
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:12,520
Speaker 4: he's getting seven to ten touches. You'd need like Serrano,

1697
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 4: Jobu level Cojones to throw him on in the lineup.

1698
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 4: Can't wait for all the people that you'll get that

1699
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 4: reference all three of them, Stevenson and Henderson. This is

1700
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 4: a really tough one. Henderson is he's got the fourth

1701
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 4: worst rushing yards over expectation. It's just been bad for him.

1702
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 4: He's averaging just forty six yards per game, but he's

1703
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 4: adding two to six catches. But the Bills top five

1704
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 4: against pass catching backs. But on the running side, the

1705
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 4: Bills are allowing nearly six yards per attempt, Like they

1706
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 4: just allow a ton of ton of yards per attempt.

1707
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 4: So if you can get seven to twelve touches out

1708
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 4: of each of them, maybe they're looking in fifty to

1709
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 4: sixty yards, maybe a couple catches, maybe they can get

1710
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 4: a score or And with all those injuries, especially three

1711
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 4: injuries in the front seven, I think there might be

1712
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 4: just enough room for some c grades there over on

1713
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 4: the Buffalo I am.

1714
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 3: I am not with you on Henderson on this one.

1715
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 3: I just think he hasn't been good enough. I could

1716
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 3: have Yeah, yeah, I think.

1717
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 5: A lot of reasons to bench him.

1718
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

1719
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,759
Speaker 1: Noted is coming off his best rushing yards over expectation.

1720
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Game of the Year one one point one above.

1721
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 5: Which which that's fair.

1722
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, I thought I thought long and hard

1723
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 4: about benching him. I I don't love him, but honestly,

1724
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,560
Speaker 4: you got four teams on by you're struggling.

1725
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 5: I can see starting him over On the bill side.

1726
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 4: It's an A grade for for Josh Allen, especially against

1727
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 4: the past team Pats team that has allowed multiple scores

1728
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 4: and or three hundred plus yards UH to three of

1729
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 4: the quarterbacks they faced. The only wide receiver grade I

1730
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 4: have is Khalil Shakir because Kean Coleman's probably gonna get

1731
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:58,440
Speaker 4: Christian Gonzalez.

1732
01:22:58,720 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 6: UH.

1733
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 4: Doesn't sound like Gonzalz is gonna shadow Shakher. So the

1734
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 4: Pats have given up a bunch of explosive plays, but

1735
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 4: those were all in the first two weeks, and since

1736
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Gonzalez's it was back last week that disappeared. Playing seventy

1737
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 4: two percent of the slot. In the slot, he's going

1738
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 4: to be able to avoid Gonzales. So I have a

1739
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 4: C grade on Shakir, B grade on Dalton Kincaid. It's

1740
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 4: a good spot for Kincaid here after being held to

1741
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 4: just one one catch. That one catch went for a

1742
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 4: twenty eight yard score and he ran the most routs

1743
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 4: on the team though, so he was out there.

1744
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 5: It was just one play.

1745
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 4: Last week, Panthers tight ends went ten for eighty two

1746
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 4: and two scores in this matchup. Earlier in the year,

1747
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 4: Bowers and Mayer went nine for one hundred and forty

1748
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 4: one yards in this matchup. Tan O'Connor of the Dolphins.

1749
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 5: And John O.

1750
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 4: Smith both got held down, so like that was to

1751
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 4: be expected, the suitable tight ends did well. And then

1752
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 4: we have a straight up A grade on James Cook.

1753
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 4: I don't really need to go much into it, but

1754
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 4: he averaged twenty two touches and three catches.

1755
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 5: The Pats is a little bit tough.

1756
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 4: Hasn't allowed a running back over fifty yards, but they're

1757
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 4: allowing forty five receiving yards per game to the position,

1758
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 4: so that's where they give it up, and James Cook

1759
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 4: can do that too.

1760
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 3: Our Monday night game is Chiefs taking on the Jaguars.

1761
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 3: I've got an A grade on Xavier Worthy a B grade,

1762
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes a C grade, and Travis Kelce everybody

1763
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 3: else is on the bench. Let's start with the running game.

1764
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pachecko and Kareem Hunt. It's been a miserable season.

1765
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 3: It continued last week and that was one of their

1766
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 3: easiest matchups of the year, and neither Pachecko nor Hunt

1767
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 3: top thirty five rushing yards last week. The Jaguars are

1768
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 3: a sneaky great run defense. They've allowed the third fewest

1769
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 3: rushing yards. They've allowed zero rushing touchdowns. They've been dinged

1770
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 3: through the air by running backs, but hunted Pacheco don't

1771
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 3: catch much. They're each averaging one catch a game. If

1772
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 3: you're feeling brave, you rollout for Shard Smith on the

1773
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 3: presumption that he's going to get a bunch more work

1774
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 3: here and again, Jaguars have been hit through the air

1775
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 3: by running backs and that's for Shard Smith's game, but

1776
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:08,480
Speaker 3: it would take some What did you call these khanes, Scott.

1777
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 4: Serrano JOBU level khones? It's from Major League. Serrano's the

1778
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 4: guy with the job.

1779
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 3: Yes, bench grades on Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. Let's

1780
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 3: go to the passing game. Xavior Worthy love him this lot.

1781
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 3: Last week. He resumed his alpha role immediately upon coming

1782
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 3: back to the lineup, and he got peppered with eight

1783
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 3: targets deep downfield too, we averaged seventeen yards per pass.

1784
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 2: Jaguars middle of the pack pass defense.

1785
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 3: Opposing number one receivers against the Jaguars have fared well,

1786
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 3: including explosive games for Nico Collins and Jamar Chase, and

1787
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 3: the Jaguars in particular getting killed by outside receivers. They're

1788
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 3: allowing the second most fantasy points to outside receivers, and

1789
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 3: that's Worthy's game. He rarely runs from the slot A

1790
01:25:56,200 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 3: grade Xavier Worthy. Not so much, Hollywood Brown and do

1791
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 3: Smith Schuster. They do run from the slot, and the

1792
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 3: Jaguars are allowing the fewest fantasy points the slot receivers.

1793
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 3: The Jaguars slot corner is a guy named Jordan Lewis.

1794
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:13,799
Speaker 3: He ranks his Pro Football Focus's third best cornerback. Lewis

1795
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 3: is so good right now he is allowing a passer

1796
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 3: rating in his coverage that's the same as spiking the

1797
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 3: ball on every play. He's allowed one touchdown in his

1798
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 3: last ten games. So Brown and Smith Schuster on the bench.

1799
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 3: As for Travis Kelcey, he continues to get used, but

1800
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 3: the problem is he's not getting used downfield.

1801
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:31,679
Speaker 2: His ad out is sitting.

1802
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 3: At a career low five point seven yards per pass.

1803
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 3: It is very hard to fill a box score on

1804
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 3: five point seven yards per pass. The Jaguars have been

1805
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 3: pretty good against tight ends, but Jake Tongas did get

1806
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 3: a score against him last week. Travis Kelce has scored

1807
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: in five of his last twenty five games. That's it

1808
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 3: C grade for him and Patrick Mahomes. With the return

1809
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 3: of Worthy, gets to be pretty safe. Mahomes posted his

1810
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 3: best game of the year last year, probably not as

1811
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 3: in an easy game with Worthy back. Jaguars are an

1812
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 3: average pass defense every opposing quarterbacks from one or two touchdowns,

1813
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 3: and he's a B grade for the Jaguars. Travis Etn

1814
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 3: comes in with an A grade. C grades on Brent Strange,

1815
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, Parky Washington, Baschal Toutons on the

1816
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 3: bench for Etn, he's completely rewritten the narrative around him

1817
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs run defense hasn't been nearly as good

1818
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 3: this year. They rank thirty first and run stuff win rate.

1819
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 3: They're seeing the tenth highest run play percentage, and over

1820
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 3: the past three weeks they're giving up five point seven

1821
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 3: yards per carry. A grade for Travis Etn, Brian Thomas

1822
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 3: hasn't provided the results we wanted, but he remains the

1823
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 3: only real Jacksonville wide receiver to get consistent usage, you

1824
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 3: gotta use him here. Tough matchup against a Kansas City

1825
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 3: secondary that has not allowed a wide receiver touchdown since

1826
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 3: Week one and only a C grade for him. Travis

1827
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 3: Hunter is startable in a pinch because he runs from

1828
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 3: the slot and the worst starting cornerback on Kansas City

1829
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 3: is their slot cornerback Tamari Connor, allowing a one hundred

1830
01:27:58,800 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 3: percent catch rate.

1831
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:00,719
Speaker 2: He gets C grade.

1832
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 3: And Parker Washington playable if Diami Brown misses this game.

1833
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 3: That put him on the field enough to perhaps be

1834
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,839
Speaker 3: startable in a pinch. And lastly, Brenton Strange heavily utilized

1835
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 3: with six catches and back to back games, but that

1836
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 3: could end here. Chiefs have been an elite tight end defense.

1837
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 3: Only one opposing tight end his top two catches and

1838
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 3: that was Mark Andrews. Last week C grade for Brenton Strange.

1839
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: A somber and ernest not to end the show.

1840
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 3: Rest in peace, Keith Johnson, Brian Johnson's father who passed

1841
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 3: this week. Keith was a devoted fantasy player, installed a

1842
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 3: love of sports into his son Brian, who all of

1843
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 3: our listeners know and has been instrumental to this show

1844
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,799
Speaker 3: and also the Chop podcast. Keith was a fantasy player.

1845
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,679
Speaker 3: He loved listening to his son and Fantasy Football Weekly.

1846
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 3: Brian is taking his dad's place in his leagues. Keith,

1847
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 3: you raised a great son. Happy trails, Keith Johnson. Best

1848
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 3: of luck everybody. Next week we'll be back for a

1849
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,360
