Speaker 1: Batman and I think that's Harry Potter over there, Scott

Speaker 1: Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Happy, Hello, how's it going,

Speaker 2: It's me Batman.

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: I like, I like that. Batman. You have to use

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: you got to use your alternate voice so nobody can

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: recognize the real you. I mean, that's is just how

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I talk.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: It's very gravelly, it is very you.

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Gotta maybe had a late night last night, Batman. That's awesome.

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: It was me, charged with me, it was Matt, Harry.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: It was you the whole time.

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: Matt, No way, I never.

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Saw that coming. That's amazing, Batman.

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean it is weird seeing Matt do a different

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: voice on this show, Like I just so unexpected.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: It never happens never once ever. No, there's there's some

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: talk that we might have as a very special Halloween

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: guest later in this show, we'll find out.

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm so if.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: That materializes later on in this show, we're very excited

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: for that. Are you guys full size Halloween candy bar

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: people or are you mini size?

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Well, my my wife keeps really good notes about how

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 4: many trigger treaters we've had each year, and we're down

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: to like fifteen to twenty trigger treaters now in our neighborhood.

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: Our neighborhood's kind of aging out of it.

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: So I think we're now to the point where full

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: sized candy bars are just kind of the way to go.

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: Our neighborhood's the exact opposite of Matt's in that we

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: get in absolutely ridiculous amount of trigger treaters. So we

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: have we have a giant pile of like it is

39
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: a it is like a knee level pile of candy.

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: Or if we were to do that with full sized

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: candy bar is like I would need to, you know,

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: find a couple of new jobs.

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Uh, my situation exactly like Matt's aged out. You know,

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: we only get the doorbell rings like six times, that's it,

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: and you know, like two kids per that's all. So

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: we've been doing full size now what I've never done,

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: and I really should the full sized lion bar. As

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: many listeners know, the Lion bar is a FFW favorite

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: for Matt Harrison, Scott Fish and myself. It is the

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: combination of a crunch bar and a KitKat.

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: And there's some carmel thrown in there.

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, with some caramel in it. Oh yeah, a little TwixT,

53
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: yeah twix, A kit cat and a crunch bar all

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: mixed together.

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: That's the Lion Bart.

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Fantastic, fantastic, I love it. Lion bar is one of

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: the elites that's a going yeah, very nuts and there's

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the Lion right there.

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 5: Man.

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: It's too bad the Lions aren't the first matchup. That

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: would have been a great segue.

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: That would have been a great segue. We should have

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: planned this out a little bit better. I've been And

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: part of the reason I'm doing the full sized candy

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: bars is because for a couple of years in a row,

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: I would trick kids by This is when we had

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: a lot of kids coming to the door periodically, and

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: especially for older kids, I would trick them by palming

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: a rock and I would give them the regular candy

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: bar and then I'd slip the rock in and they'd

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: feel the way to the rock hit their bag and

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh, that's awesome, thank you mister. But

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I had secretly slipped them a rock, and that's putting

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: me if you get that's right.

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised that didn't end up in your window.

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And that's when I stopped doing it, when

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: somebody threw it back at the house because I did

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: it to some teenager who pieced it together fast, and

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: that was and then I'm like, you know what, I

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: got to make amends with the full sized candy bar,

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: so I did.

82
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: After that.

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump into Fantasy Football Weekly proper.

84
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: Here.

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: We've got three tough questions later in the show, nine

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: players upon whom you can take a chance premature speculation.

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: We begin our matchups Scott with the Falcons taking on

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It was an abject nightmare for Bejon Robinson

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: last week and now he faces one of the best

90
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: run defenses in the league.

91
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah absolutely. And by the way, no such thing as

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: a Falcon bar to my knowledge. No good there except

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: for to talk about Robins. Bejon. That's a mustard. I mean,

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: we can stay in the food category. Uh yeah, second

95
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: most receptions and sixth most receiving yards, second fewest attempts,

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: yard scores, and rushing allowed to opposing running backs for

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: the Patriots. It's a good spot for Bejeon Robinson. So

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: I got an a grade on Bjeon Robinson. By the way, sorry,

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: that's in the receiving on the receiving side. On the

100
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: rushing side, the Pats are the first team since nineteen

101
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: fifty to not allow a single running back over fifty

102
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: rushing yards in a game but one hundred and twenty

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: two total. Warren had ninety total, Kamar had seventy six.

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: On the receiving side, excuse me, is way that where

105
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: it's a really really good matchup for Bijon Robinson and

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: he's one of the better backs that they will have faced,

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: if not the best back they have faced. So I

108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: still have an eight grade on him. Tyler Algier, I'm

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: throwing on the bench. He only got four touches last

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: week after being limited most of the week. He did

111
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: get you that score which saved my take a chance

112
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: on me all from last week. He did get that score,

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: but he was limited all week again and once again

114
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 3: they don't allow a lot of rushing yards and the

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: receiving yards are going to come from Bijon, So I

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: have Tyler Algier on the bench. The passing game, Michael

117
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: Pennix was taking the snaps this week. He has been

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: limited though where still. I'll not sure at this point

119
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: who's going to be the starter. But the Patriots since

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Christian Gonzace came back, are only allowing one hundred and

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: ninety six yards and one point three scores per game

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: to opposing quarterbacks. So I'm just gonna throw the quarterback

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: on the bench. Whichever one it is, probably Panics, but

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna throw him on the bench. It's not

125
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: a great spot form. Drake Lindon is going to get

126
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: a B grade. He was a late scratch last week.

127
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: He's looks like he's gonna play this week. He was

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: a little limited in practice, as was Darnell Mooney and

129
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts and Tyler Lger and everybody for the Falcons

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: were limited in practice this week. The game script in

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: this one, the way to get to the Pats, excuse me,

132
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 3: is through the air. They've allowed twenty eight explosive plays,

133
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: which is fourth most London averages over ten targets per

134
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: game to the tune of six for seventy eight per week,

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: and he's been over double digit PPR points in almost

136
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: every single game this year. He will see a lot

137
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: of Christian Gonzales who's allowing thirty five scoreless yards in coverage.

138
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: But Drake London does move side to side. If it's

139
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 3: not a shadow, he might be able to get around it.

140
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: And a couple of wide receivers did okay yards wise

141
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: at least, So I'm giving a Drake London a B.

142
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts Senior is the only other one I'm going

143
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: to talk about, mostly because Darnell Mooney laid a complete

144
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: egg even with London out last week. So Kyle Pitts

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 3: Senior thirty percent target share over the last two weeks.

146
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: Remember London was out last week, but he had that

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: the week before as well. Nineteen targets over the last

148
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: two weeks, thirteen plus fantasy points in three of his

149
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: last four and this is a bottom five matchup for

150
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: tight ends fourth easiest to be exact, allowing the fourth

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: most receptions and sixth most yards to the position. The

152
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: Browns duo just destroyed them. So B grade for Kyle Pitts.

153
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: On the other side, Drake May is getting a bee.

154
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: Last week, TUA went off on this Falcon's past that

155
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: was like ranked top two in a ton of categories

156
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: after only giving up seven passing scores all the year.

157
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: But if you look at it, Josh Allen had two scores,

158
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: Mayfield had three scores. They've given up okay days to

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: the good quarterbacks. And I consider Drake May one of

160
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: the better courterd yes, so he has four games of

161
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: multiple scores. I'm gonna give the B grade to Drake May.

162
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: By the way, Drake May league leader in catchable ball

163
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: rate at eighty three percent.

164
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: Wow.

165
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: Mean when he casses ball, it's very catchable for his receivers.

166
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I love it.

167
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: I love it.

168
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: I'm giving I'm giving Kayshawan Boody and Stefan Diggs your

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: Kayshawn Booty. I should say, Paul, You've think you your

170
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Booty uh C grades for both of them.

171
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 6: Uh.

172
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: And he profiles closer to the wide receivers who have

173
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: done well against the Falcons. And Booty's had fifty five

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: plus yards in three straight uh and he's had six

175
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: plus in all three of those. He's giving the volume

176
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: and uh, I just trust in Drake May to get

177
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: him the ball. To a C grade. Traveon Henderson is

178
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: my only other starting grade. Matt Kellens has a bench

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: and Hunter Henry. This Atlanta is just a top D

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: against fantasy tight ends. But Trevion Henderson with Ramandri Stevenson

181
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: out last week, he only got fourteen steps. He got

182
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: ten touches. He took his two carries that game for

183
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: twelve yards and eighteen yards. He has shown that explosiveness

184
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: and now he's looking at a fifteen to twenty touch

185
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: potential game. Atlanta has been a little more susceptible to

186
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: the pass, but running backs are averaging about one hundred

187
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: and fifty seven yards per game and a score against

188
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: the Falcons, and leading backs are averaging one hundred and

189
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: two yards. As six point favorites for New England, they

190
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: might run the ball a bunch more So. I'm given

191
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: Trevion Henderson a C grade only because he's been so

192
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: inefficient and you need to keep an eye on Carell Jennings,

193
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: who's gotten snaps. At the end of the last two games.

194
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: You know, Darnold Moody back to him for just a second.

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Patriots giving up the third or fourth

196
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: most explosive plays.

197
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: Or fourth most, but I will note of their twenty

198
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: eight explosive plays, thirteen came in the first two weeks.

199
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: They've only had fifteen since Christian gonzaz got back.

200
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, just a lot, yeah, I think for

201
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot of us that pivoted to Darnel Mooney last

202
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: week at the last minute when Drake London got ruled

203
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: out and then we got nothing from Mooney. You know

204
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: what's going to happen here, Scott, Oh, yeah, he's going

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: to go berserk this week.

206
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: He's gonna get the one. But if you want to throw,

207
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: I have a bench grade. But if you want to

208
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: throw the dart throw, I get.

209
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: It, all right. I think he's in dart throw territory.

210
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: I kind of like money in this one. Let's go

211
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: over to the Broncos taking on the Texans. There we go,

212
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: there's our dark. This matchup features Broncos Texans arguably the

213
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: two best pass defenses in the league. They rank first

214
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: and fourth in Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. They

215
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: rank first and third in passing touchdowns allowed. So there's

216
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: not a lot to like here. In the passing game.

217
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Troy Franklin, it's going to be tempting to chase the

218
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: last couple of box scores because he was playing terrible

219
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: teams and he ended up doing really well. It's the

220
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: other end of the spectrum. This week against Houston, were

221
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: allowing the third fewest Fantasy points to receivers, and you

222
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: might be tempted to think that Marvin and mims concussion

223
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: will provide more opportunities for Franklin, but last week it

224
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: was rookie Pap Bryant who got the extra run in

225
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: MIM's absence. I can only get you to a C

226
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: grade here, and I prefer you don't play Franklin at all.

227
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: That brings us to Courtland Sutton. This is probably the

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: toughest matchup of the year for him. You guys know,

229
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: I always like Courtland Sutton, but his usage is dropping

230
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: off as Franklin's is expanding, and he's kind of in

231
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: this nether zone right now, Houston. We like Sutton for touchdowns.

232
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: Houston's only allowed three all year. Only Jackson Smith and

233
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: Jigmann Pukinakua, arguably the two best receivers in the league,

234
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: are the two best hottest receivers in the league have

235
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: topped fifty six yards against the Texans. Everybody else is

236
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: under fifty six. That's not good. Big body, physical receivers

237
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: like Courtland Sutton have done almost nothing against Houston. Juan

238
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Jennings just posted forty five scoreless yards last week. Earlier

239
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: in the year, Mike Evans fifty six scoreless yards. So

240
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: you can't just bully your way to fantasy points Courtland Sutton.

241
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: Just to see grade. I mentioned Marvin mims Is in

242
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. Let's not start him and Evan Ingram

243
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Texans also great against Titans. George

244
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: Kittles scored last week, but prior to the Niners game,

245
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Houston hadn't allowed a touchdown since opening week to a

246
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: tight end non Kittle. Starting tight ends are averaging three

247
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: catches for eighteen yards against Houston. And I've mentioned this

248
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: before and we've touched it on Evan Ingram. He's averaging

249
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: three and a half yards per catch. You just can't

250
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: fill a box score that way. Bench grade on Evan Ingram.

251
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: That brings us to the bonus.

252
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: He's been so bad you need to sign a forty

253
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: one year old veteran tight end.

254
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Well, exactly. That's a bad sign right there for bo Nicks.

255
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: It's been easy these past couple of weeks against the

256
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Giants. This is a totally different test, and

257
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: I prefer you don't have to start him here, as

258
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: I've already illuminated. The Texans are a great pass defense,

259
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: and Nicks still isn't running much, which is very frustrating.

260
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: He's averaging just three and a half carries per game

261
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: over the last month. Most of those are scrambles, very

262
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: few designed runs for bow Nicks, and the Texans are

263
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: a lead against rushing quarterbacks, giving up the second fewest

264
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards just twelve per game. C Grade on

265
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: bow Knicks, and that brings us to the running game. JK. Dobbins.

266
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: The way you beat the Texans is on the ground.

267
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: They're a solid run defense, but not nearly as good

268
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: as they are in pass defense. In Houston's losses, they're

269
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: seeing ten more rushes than wins. So I do believe

270
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a sustained rushing attack here from Dobbins.

271
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: If Denver's gonna win and run the ball, say twenty

272
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: four times, that's what that's what teams do that are

273
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: averaging that beat that end up beating Houston. Dobbins will

274
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: get most of those twenty four carries. Houston is a

275
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: good run defense. As I mentioned, they shut down Christian

276
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: McCaffrey last week, but they had allowed rushing touchdowns in

277
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: five of the previous six games. CE grade for JK. Dobbins.

278
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: Do not chase R. J. Harvey's three touchdowns from last week.

279
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: That was super fluky. It was eight by a terrible

280
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: Dallas defense, and a lot of it was in garbage time.

281
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: Not all of it, but most of it. He is

282
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: on the bench in this one Texan side.

283
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 6: C J.

284
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Stroud coming out a rare, really good fantasy game, but

285
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: his only good games have come against hobbled defenses that

286
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: are missing multiple starters. Now, granted, the Broncos are going

287
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: to be missing Patri Tartan, which is significance, but Denver

288
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: is still an elite pass defense and they've got a

289
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: great pass rush and it's an epic mismatch against a

290
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: terrible Houston offensive line. The Broncos ranked fifth in time

291
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: to pressure.

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: CJ.

293
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Stroud is going to be harried throughout this game, and

294
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't see him getting deep passes that create fantasy scores.

295
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Just a se grade for him. Nico Collins cleared the

296
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: concussion protocol early in the week and he gets dated

297
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: a lot by Patrick Stanapping on the field, so that

298
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: will certainly help. But the fascinating matchup is going to

299
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: be Nico Collins against Riley Moss. He is the other cornerback.

300
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: He is the most targeted cornerback in the league because

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: nobody wants to throw at Patrick Surtan, but also Moss.

302
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Despite being the most targeted player in the league, only

303
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: forty five percent of passes in Riley Moss's coverage are

304
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: getting completed. He's been very good, so it's just a

305
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: mixed bag here for Collins. He's an elite player in

306
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup. Just to be grade for him. All

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: the other receivers Christian Kirk, Jalen Nowel, Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Reed,

308
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Braxon Burios on the bench, do not be tempted to

309
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: think that you can start them despite Patrick Startan being out.

310
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: And lastly, with the last part of the passing game,

311
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Dalton Scheltz has got knee and shoulder injuries and he's

312
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: unreliable anyway, So he's out here. We're not going to

313
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: start him either. Bench grade Nick Chubb. The Texans best

314
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: best pass to the victory is on the ground, so CJ.

315
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: Stroud doesn't get killed in the pocket. But this is

316
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: also a tough matchup. Only Jonathan Taylor's top seventy yards

317
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, and increasingly Chubb is giving up time

318
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: to Woodie Marx who had the same number of snaps

319
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: as Chubb last week. Denver ranks fourth in yards before contact,

320
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: fifth and yards per care. Very very tough matchup. Just

321
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: to see grade for and I don't know that reference,

322
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: but okay, story, I'm pretty sure. Oh it's Woody Marks.

323
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Nice all right, nicely done, Thank you, Robbie, well done.

324
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Uh he's playable in PPR thanks to his surging number

325
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: of routes run for Woody Marks seventeen and thirty two

326
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: routes run in the last two weeks, which is great.

327
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Denver doesn't have many defensive weaknesses, but running back receptions

328
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: is one of them. Three different opposing backs of top

329
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: fifty receiving yards and three of scard touchdowns C grade

330
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: for Woody Marks. When we come back, take a chance

331
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: on me We'll give you nine players upon whom you

332
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: can take a chance. Many of these guys available on

333
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Find out who they are when we

334
00:16:45,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: come back to a Halloween edition a Fantasy Football Weekly.

335
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Take a chance on me nine players you

336
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: would not normally start. Many of these guys available on

337
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. We begin at the quarterback position and

338
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison, who you got?

339
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 4: I got Geno Smith. This week he finally gets all

340
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 4: his weapons back, mainly Brock Bauers returns. He hasn't really

341
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 4: been healthy since Week one. Jacoby Myers is also a

342
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: full participant in practice. They even signed his old friend

343
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 4: Tyler Lockett to be a depth wide receiver. The matchup

344
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 4: is also fantastic. The Jags have already given up fifteen

345
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 4: passing scores in seven games, and in the last four games,

346
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: the Jaguars have given up a pretty good game to

347
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: every quarterback They've faced five touchdown passes to Matthew Stafford.

348
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 4: In Week seven, Darnold finished with two ninety five and

349
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: two mahomes with three eighteen and one and the rare

350
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: Brock Purty sighting way back in week four, he had

351
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 4: three h nine and two so Gino Smith, fire him up.

352
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: I can't believe you just sold me on Gino Smith,

353
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: but you kind of did. That's that's remarkable, Scott Fish.

354
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: You take a chance at me quarterback.

355
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm going with Jackson Dart. As I mentioned last week,

356
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 3: with the forty nine ers facing C. J. Stroud, who

357
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: showed out last week, the forty nine ers get absolutely

358
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: no pressure. They are bottom two in sacks, Hurry's QB,

359
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: knockdowns and pressure rate. Stroud went for three hundred and

360
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: eighteen and two scores added thirty on the ground. Jackson

361
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: Dart only has one game over two hundred and two

362
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: passing yards. That's two hundred and two is as high,

363
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 3: but he scored on the ground in four out to five,

364
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: and he has at least one passing score in five

365
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: straight without Scatterbo. He might need to lean on the

366
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: pass and throw a little bit more. And the forty

367
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: nine ers are missing players at every level of the defense.

368
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: I'm going with Aaron Rodgers. I did not realize this

369
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: until this until I looked it up this week. Aaron

370
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers is third in passing touchdowns this year. Aaron Rodgers

371
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: just he's one behind. He's one behind Matthew Stafford and

372
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for the league lead in touchdown passes.

373
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: He was second going into West six game.

374
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, kept crazy. I mean even if you thought Rogers

375
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: wasn't cooked going into this year, I don't think anybody

376
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: saw elite level fantasy production coming. And he goes up

377
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: against the Colts. The one thing that isn't working for

378
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: the Colts is their secondary. Two starting cornerbacks are on

379
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: ir and because the Colts are always leading, the game

380
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: script is constantly tilted against the Colts secondary and as

381
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: a result, over the past five weeks, the Colts rank

382
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: dead last and passing yardage allowed at three hundred and

383
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty yards per game. Aaron Rodgers sitting out a very

384
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: nice game, and if I were to give him a

385
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: letter grade, it would be an A let's go to

386
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: the running back position, Matt Harrison, who you got?

387
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to peacock myself too much,

388
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: but I kind of nailed these.

389
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 7: Take a chance on these last week with black Oi,

390
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 7: Vad David and Froy Franklin, and I'm feeling pretty talking

391
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 7: about Emanuel Wilson this week for the Packers. Josh Jacobs

392
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 7: has been great this year, but if you watch Sunday

393
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: night's game, you can tell he's not at one hundred

394
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 7: percent right now. In fact, he was limited this week

395
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 7: with a calf injury. But who did pass the eye test?

396
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 7: It was Emmanuel Wilson. He had fourteen touches. Three of

397
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 7: those were receptions, by the way, eighty seven combo yards.

398
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 7: Jacobs had sixteen touches in that game, so it was

399
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 7: pretty close. The Packers have aspirations to play in February,

400
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 7: they're gonna need to take some mileage off of Jacobs

401
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 7: along the way. And while Carolina looks like a middle

402
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 7: of the pack run defense on paper, they're allowing four

403
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: point nine yards per carry, the eleventh most drusting yards,

404
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 7: and the twelfth most receptions to opposing backs.

405
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Scott, your take a chance with me running back?

406
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a shame Halloween weekend that we don't get

407
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: to start Cam Scatt Boo a great But we do

408
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: get to start Tyrone Tracy Junior. From Week eight on

409
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: last week, he topped sixty yards in all but one game,

410
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: scored five times, had a couple hundred yard games, and

411
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: after the week eleven bye, he caught four passes per game.

412
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: College wide receiver, capable pass catcher, going against the defense

413
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 3: that's allowed the fourth most receptions to backs and our

414
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: bottom ten overall against running backs. That's the San Francisco

415
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: forty nine ers. They also allowed the sixth most carries

416
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: and tenth most yards to backs. So a really good

417
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: spot for Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy.

418
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Well, it is too bad we don't get more Cam

419
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: Skataboo because he was on pace to be about as

420
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: fun a failure.

421
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: Maybe this is a New York Giants win one for

422
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: Skataboo weekend.

423
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm going with Kyle Manungai, the Bear

424
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: starter in the Last Man Standing Dean Swift Roshan Johnson

425
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: ruled out of this game. He's going up against the Bengals.

426
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: They're allowing the most rushing yards to opposing runners one

427
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: hundred thirty two per game, and Kyle mnunguy might get

428
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: all one hundred and thirty two. That is thirteen more

429
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards than the second worst team, to give you

430
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: some context on that. Not only that, Cincinnati also allowing

431
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: fourth most receiving yards to runners, and Manangay can catch

432
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's also had carries inside the five

433
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: yard lining consecutive game, so he gets the goal line

434
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: used to It is a smash spot for Kyle mcnungui,

435
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: who I believe is an A grade this week against Tennessee.

436
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Cincinnati. All right, let's go to our receivers,

437
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: beginning with a tight end for Matt Harrison.

438
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, stand with the same team Bears tight end ghost

439
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 4: in Loveland. Ooh spooky nice. Cole Kmet came off the

440
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: injury report on Friday, but he's limited all week with

441
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 4: a back injury and that caused him to miss last week,

442
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 4: so he's definitely not one hundred percent. And Week eight

443
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: Loveland had every single one of the tight end targets

444
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: for the Bears. The Bengals are the worst tight end

445
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: defense in the land buy a lot, second, most receptions,

446
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 4: most yards, and touchdowns allowed ten tight ends scores already

447
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: this year, but in the last four games they've given

448
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: up eight. That includes one to Mason Taylor last week,

449
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 4: four to the Steelers tight ends the week before, one

450
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 4: to Tucker Craft the week before that, and both Sam

451
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: Laporta and brock Wright scored for the Lions the week

452
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: before that. Backup tight ends getting it done. I think

453
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: Colston Lovelin's on another touchdown call for me in this game.

454
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: He's getting right.

455
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: When Cole Kmets scores three times, we'll look back at

456
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: this one.

457
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: But Colston Lovelin, I's gonna get one, all.

458
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: Right, Scott Fish here, take a chance for me, receiver.

459
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sticking to the tight end position with THEO

460
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: Johnson in New York once again, Daniel Bellinger hurt going

461
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: to be out. The last two weeks, THEO Johnson's had

462
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: a ninety seven percent route protesipant participation. He's averaging five

463
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: for twenty seven on the year. But Bellinger had been

464
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: soaking up a bunch of yards and catches that he

465
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: will not get in this one. Six of the last

466
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: eight starting tight ends against the forty nine ers went

467
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: forty plus und or a scorer and fifty plus in

468
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 3: two of the last three, Bellinger, excuse me. Johnson has

469
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: scored four touchdowns this year, all four in the last

470
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: five and a half games with Jackson Dart.

471
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: Wow, you've sold.

472
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: I just moved him.

473
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: I moved. I just moved him in my rankings. That

474
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: is how much I respect your THEO Johnson call. Right there,

475
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: My final take a chance with me. Player is Trey Tucker,

476
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: Raiders receiver going up against Jacksonville. Matt already built a

477
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: fantastic case for Gino Smith failed to mention Trey Tucker.

478
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: You may remember Trey Tucker from such games as the

479
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Week three explosion against the Commanders for three touchdowns one

480
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards. Now we don't know what's

481
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: going out with Jacoby Myers. That's an X factor, but

482
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect Trey Tucker because he's an outside, starting

483
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver no matter what Myers does, and he's going

484
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: to be able to avoid the only good cornerback that

485
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jag Jordan Lewis, because he's a slot guy.

486
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: In stead, he'll face Pro football focuses ninety sixth and

487
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: ninetieth ranked cornerbacks on the outside. Greg Newsom something called Montarics.

488
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Brown Jackson was a little the seven most fantasy points

489
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: two wide receivers. Let's try Trey Tucker all right. Back

490
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: to the matchups. We go over to Matt Harrison Panthers

491
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: take on the Packers and Matt at running back. We

492
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: have a new announced starter in Rico Dowdall, and now

493
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: back is the full time lead back. I'm pretty intrigued

494
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: by this matchup against a good run defense in the

495
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers.

496
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: I don't feel the same way because I don't believe

497
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 4: what's happening in Carolina. Dave Canalis said that the Dowdler

498
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: has been exceptional, but he also said that he hadn't

499
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 4: really talked to Chewba Hubbard about taking a lesser role,

500
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: and clearly Hubbard who's had fifty seven percent of the

501
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: snaps last week to Dowdell's third.

502
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: I think the.

503
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: Good news of this whole thing is you leave both

504
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 4: of them on the bench in this game against a

505
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: Packers run defense that's one of the best in the

506
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: league against the run, their top five and running back touches,

507
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: combo yards and touchdowns allowed to the running back position.

508
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 4: They've only allowed two scores to running backs all year

509
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: and ninety four combo yards per game. That even if

510
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: Dowdell gets sixty percent of that, we're looking at like

511
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: fifty eight yards for Dowdell. No, I'm not doing it,

512
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: so I'm leaving both of them on the bench. On

513
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: the passing side, Bryce Young practiced in full and Andy

514
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 4: Dalton didn't practice, so it's pretty safe to say Young

515
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 4: will start again. Young gets a B grade. It's pretty

516
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: tough to run on Green Bay, so we'll mostly rest

517
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: on Young generating the offense. And five of the last

518
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: six quarterbacks to face the pack have had multiple touchdown passes.

519
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: Given Teteroa McMillan a B grade as well. I think

520
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: most would say the Packers' biggest defensive weakness is their corners.

521
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: They've allowed some pretty decent days to the wide receiver position.

522
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 4: DK met Calf had a nice day last week, Jamar

523
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: Chase ten for ninety four and one two weeks ago,

524
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: George Pickens eight for one, thirty four and two the

525
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 4: week before that. These are lead receivers in just the

526
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: last four games. So if you see the Packers building

527
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: themselves a big lead game, script should be in favor

528
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: of McMillan seeing a ton of targets in the second half.

529
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: You're not going as far as Xavier Lagett, who missed

530
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 4: practice with an illness, or Jalen Coker though, and the

531
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 4: matchup would be super good for Jatavian Sanders, but they

532
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 4: just don't throw the ball to tight ends at all.

533
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 4: He's only seen five targets in the last two weeks,

534
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 4: so he's on the bench too. I wish I could

535
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: say start him, though. Over on the Packers side, it's

536
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: pretty easy. Josh Jacobs, He's an A grade. He's scored

537
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: in fifteen of his last sixteen. I'd say James Cook

538
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: is pretty stylistically similar to Josh Jacobs in many ways.

539
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 4: He had two hundred and sixteen yards and two touchdowns

540
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 4: against this team last week, and Emmanuel Wilson was might

541
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: take a chance on me. Runner Tucker Kraft he gets

542
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: an A grade as well. The path to pass against

543
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: the Panthers, which is very hard to say, is max

544
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: and tight ends, and Kraft happens to be a tight end.

545
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 4: Carolina has allowed the fifth most receiving yards to the

546
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 4: tight end position this year. Top tier tight ends have

547
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: represented well. Trey McBride had seventy eight yards, Jake Ferguson

548
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: scored a touchdown. Waller had seventy eight and a score.

549
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 4: He's not even top tier anymore. Jordan Love gets a

550
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: B grade. It's not an A because the Packers might

551
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: not need to pass all that much to win. But

552
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 4: of the last five quarterbacks to face the Panthers, four

553
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 4: of them have recorded three touchdowns if you combine rushing

554
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 4: and passing scores. The only one that didn't was the Jets,

555
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: and they went Havezi's at quarterback that game, so it

556
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: was pretty bad there. Finally, the wide receivers, that's a mess.

557
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: We'll talk about this a little bit later in the show.

558
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 4: Romeo Dobbs is on the field for eighty percent of

559
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: the snaps. He's led the team in wide receiver targets

560
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 4: for five straight weeks. There's a lot of other guys.

561
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: We're going to talk a lot about it later, but

562
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: if you have to start one, it's Dobbs.

563
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: But I think i'd them all on the bench.

564
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: The Panthers have been very good against the wide receivers

565
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 4: this year, top five in receptions, yards, and touchdowns allowed

566
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 4: to the position.

567
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: Panthers outside cornerbacks young talented Jackson and Horn. That is,

568
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: they're building a little something there in Carolina, especially on defense.

569
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Bears Bengals. This one won't

570
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: take a lot of time thanks to some injuries DeAndre

571
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: Swift and Roshan Johnson ruled out Kyle Manungai. I just

572
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: told you was might take a chance on me running

573
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: back with an A grade. Let's go over to the

574
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: passing game Roma Dunes. That remains the focal point of

575
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: the Bear's passing offense. He has topped a twenty percent

576
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: target share in six of seven games. He is wide

577
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: receiver eight in air yards there. He is right there,

578
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: and we love deep completions because that phills box scores.

579
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for. Bengals terrible against runners and

580
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: tight ends, but pretty competent against wide receivers. Maybe so

581
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: bad at the other stuff. No opposing receiver has topped

582
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: one hundred yards against the Bengals, and only I'm on

583
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Rock Saint Brown has top five catches against the Bengals,

584
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: which sounds odd. I mean, it feels like the terrible

585
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: at everything, this is the one thing they're okay at.

586
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go B grade on Roma Dunes. DJ

587
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Moore has only scored one time all year, and he's

588
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: only managed three or four receptions in every game but one.

589
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: And there just isn't any upside with Dj Moore like

590
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: we used to get, and non number one receivers against

591
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals are putting up just lackluster numbers. He does

592
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: have a little bit of upside when he faces off

593
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: against gambling cornerback Cam Taylor Britt, who's willing to trade

594
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: interceptions for touchdowns, but Moore remains just a C grade

595
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: on his usage, which is just middling. Colson Loveland was

596
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison's take a chance with me tight end because

597
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: this is we are looking at a borderline historically bad

598
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: tight end defense in the Bengals. Cole Kamet also potentially startable.

599
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: We'll give us C grades to both of those players

600
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: because of the magnitude of the opportunity that Matt outlined earlier.

601
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: Olamedia's a chaus one of my favorite sleepers, and I

602
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: strongly considered him for taking a chance on me coming

603
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: off of a season high seven targets last week because

604
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: Luthor Burden had a concussion and this week Luthor Burden

605
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: has been ruled out, so once again I expect a

606
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: lot of usage for him, and his particular matchup is

607
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: up again slot cornerback Dax Hill. Hill has allowed four

608
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his coverage already that is tied for the

609
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: most in the entire league, So a nice matchup here.

610
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a streamer wide receiver, Olamid

611
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: he's a chaus. I was tempted to give him a

612
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: B grade, but Matt convinced me that the whole thing

613
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: is crazy and I should really consider a bench grade.

614
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: But instead I'll split the difference and go see grade.

615
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: It is absolutely nuts.

616
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Charge Caleb Williams needs a bounce back game desperately, and

617
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: he'll probably get it here. The Bengals secondary is mediocre.

618
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: They've been rocked for the second most passing touchdowns every

619
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback has scored against the Bengals. Missing those two

620
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: running backs, there's probably a few extra passes for Caleb

621
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: Williams and a B grade in this one Bengal side,

622
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: there's Chase Brown has been revitalized since Joe Flacco took over.

623
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: He has posted his two best yardage days in two

624
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: of the three games Flacco has started. He scored twice

625
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: last week. Bears run defense has gotten a lot better

626
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: since Week four. They're only giving up three and a

627
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: half yards per carry. Their rank ninth in run defense

628
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: EPA over the last month, third in fewest misstackles. Only

629
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: one back his top seventeen receiving yards against Chicago, and

630
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: Chase Brown's usually good to chip in that way, he

631
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: might not hear either, So just to c grade on

632
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Chase Brown, then let's start with the obvious Cincinnati receiver

633
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: to talk about, and that's andre Josevash. The Bears give

634
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: up the highest percentage of fantasy points to opposing slot receivers,

635
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: and slot cornerback Kyler Gordon is on ir and Gordon's replacement,

636
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: Nick McCloud, is allowing an eighty eight percent catch rate

637
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: in his coverage and a touchdown every seven completions in

638
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: his coverage. Andre Joseavash ce grade Chase, Yes, you like that,

639
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: but all right, we're gonna play the slot slot matchups

640
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: in this one. You prefer Yoshabash?

641
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

642
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: Uh, Jamar Chase obvious A grade against the defense missing

643
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: potentially all three starting cornerbacks were still checking in on

644
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Stevenson. He's been targeted forty two times in the

645
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: last two games, which is an NFL record. You guys,

646
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: happen to know who the previous NFL record holder was

647
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: for four games targets in consecutive games.

648
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: No clue, Cooper Cup.

649
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: Maybe good guests with Cooper Cup Brandon Marshall, who had

650
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: a twenty eight target game in two thousand and nine,

651
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight targets in one game. Insane. Remember that, yes,

652
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: Jamart Pace obviously grad T Higgins also a great start here.

653
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: Bears are going to be missing two, if not three,

654
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks and Higgans only had one target last week,

655
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: which will happen when Chase gets twenty targets. But obviously

656
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: that's gonna even out here at least some and a

657
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: B grade for T Higgins against a battered defense. And

658
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: then lastly, Joe Flacco, we're gonna have to follow his

659
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: shoulder injury and bake into this B grade. You're gonna

660
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: get that he may not finish the game. If you

661
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: assured me he would, I would go a grade here.

662
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: Flacco has been Fantasy quarterback six and quarterback seven the

663
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: last two weeks. He was averaging out with Cleveland as

664
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: cornerback twenty eight. That's how much an improvement we have

665
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: seen with Joe Flacco. So I like him here. Just

666
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: worry that maybe he gets you know, he gets sacked,

667
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: he lands on that shoulder, and that might be the

668
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: end of the game for Joe Flacco, assuming he starts

669
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: to begin with. We'll monitor that one on Sunday all right.

670
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: That wraps up this segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We'll

671
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: be back in moments with more, including forty nine Ers

672
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Giants. Christian McCaffrey, coming out his worst

673
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: game of the year, will track down whether or not

674
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: he goes right back ball. He'll go back into starting lineups.

675
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: But what is our outlook for Christian McCaffrey When we

676
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: return after this Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi

677
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison Scott fish with you. It is a

678
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: Halloween addition, and we've got three frighteningly good matchups for you,

679
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: beginning with the forty nine ers taking on the Giants. Scott,

680
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: it was a rare dud game for Christian McCaffrey. Last week.

681
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: Is the is the is the bounce back. As obvious

682
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: as it sounds against the Giants.

683
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: It should, last week does make you realize he's not

684
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 3: always automatic, but I still give him an a Last

685
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: week I cautioned to temper expectations too, But this week

686
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 3: he's getting a Giants team that has allowed twenty plus

687
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: yard rushing plays, the most twenty plus yard rushing plays

688
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: and the second most forty plus yard rushing plays. We

689
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 3: just saw Barkley hit a sixty four yard last week.

690
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 3: The Giants allow over six yards per carry, which is

691
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 3: worse than the league allow the fourth most combo yards

692
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: to backs. Great spot for christ McCaffrey. Over to the

693
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: passing side, I got a B grade on mac Jones.

694
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: He's had three couple three hundred yard games, couple multiple

695
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: score games, and this is one of his better matchups.

696
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 3: The Giants allowing the seventh most passing yards to opposing

697
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: passers and multiple scores to three straight. The Giants secondary

698
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 3: will be without Cordell Flott, Pulsonnedebo, and safety Jevon Holland,

699
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: so three of their four starters in the back of

700
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: that secondary are out. So B grade for mac Jones

701
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: Because of that. Kendrick Bourne and Juwan Jennings are both

702
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 3: getting C grades. I know the stats haven't been there

703
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: for them, but the Giants allow the second most receptions

704
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: and the most yards to wide receivers. And I just

705
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: mentioned all those injuries. I know Bourne disappeared last week.

706
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 3: He should get a little more this week. Juwan Jennings

707
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: five broken ribs, shoulder injury, ankle, sprain's CAF strain running

708
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: a ton of routes hasn't has only top forty five

709
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: yards once this season, but again, such a great matchup.

710
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 3: George Kittle is gonna get a B grade here. Giants

711
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: are middle of the road against tight ends, but some

712
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: of the better tight ends like Goddard had two scores

713
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: last week, Ingram had five for forty two. Goddard a

714
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: few weeks ago had one hundred and ten in a score.

715
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson had a big day Art scored. Good tight

716
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: ends have found their way against this defense. So I'm

717
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: giving George Kittle a B grade over to the Giant

718
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: side Jackson, Dart, Tyrone, Tracy and Theo Johnson, where I

719
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: take to take a chance on many players, and that

720
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: leaves me with just one more starting grade for the Giants.

721
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: It's not Darius Slayton, who had a huge score called

722
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: back last week. He got targets, but the production just

723
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: hasn't been there, and he's getting the toughest matchup against

724
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: Diamadar Lenore. It's Wandel Robinson. He plays ninety percent of

725
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: the snaps. Great matchup in the slot against the forty

726
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 3: nine ers d allowing the fourth most receptions and twelfth

727
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: most yards to wide receivers. Slayton can be kind of

728
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: a dart throat. That's about it, all, right, Let's go.

729
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: Over to Colts Steelers. Matt the Colts surging offense gets

730
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: to face an absolutely slumping defense in the Steelers. I

731
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be plenty of opportunities here.

732
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's four A grades. Jonathan Taylor is one. We

733
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: don't really need to talk about him. Daniel Jones is two.

734
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 4: Dimess had multiple passing scores and allowing the fifth most

735
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: passing yards of this season. Tyler Warren a grade number three.

736
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 4: Tucker Craft just torched the Steelers defense for seven to

737
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 4: one forty three and two last week and war one

738
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 4: of two or three other tight ends in the league

739
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: right now who can do that kind of thing. And

740
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: then Michael Pittman's another A grade. Remember when the Darius

741
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 4: sleigh ride was a bad thing. Yeah, it's a rating

742
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: of one thirty five in his coverage. So Pittman gets.

743
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 7: A sleigh ride and it's wee a slay ride.

744
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 4: I usually don't mess with Alec Pierce or Josh Downs,

745
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 4: but I think you can fire up both of the

746
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 4: C grade Downs practiced in full should be all systems

747
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 4: go and the Steelers have allowed the third most receptions

748
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: in the sixth most yards to wide receivers this year.

749
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: It's much easier to pass on them than run. Aaron

750
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 4: Rodgers was charged to take a chance on me quarterback,

751
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: and DK metcalf is his favorite target. Scored in five

752
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 4: of the last six games, and charts already highlighted that

753
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: the Colts pass defense gives up a ton of points.

754
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: They've allowed the most receptions, third most yards, and eighth

755
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 4: most touchdowns to wide receiver positions twelve different wide receivers

756
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: if it double digit PPR points. Because of that, I

757
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: think you can throw a dart at both Calvin Austin

758
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 4: and Roman Wilson this week. The matchup is great and

759
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: I think one or both can limp to ten PPR points.

760
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: The tight ends I gave all three starting grades last

761
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 4: week and they failed me out of nowhere. John Ujanu

762
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 4: had the most snaps, but Big Oh and Pat were

763
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: involved about half the snaps. Two great matchup. The Colts

764
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: allowed the fourth most receptions and second most yards to

765
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 4: tight ends, but they're splitting everything and it's a guessing game.

766
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: So my Steelers' ranking of tight ends is Friarmouth than

767
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 4: John New than Washington this week, but I prefer to

768
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: bench them all and then Jalen Warren. He's definitely the

769
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 4: lead back out touched Kenny Gangwell sixteen to seven last

770
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 4: week and twenty to five the week before. Colts are

771
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: top eleven and combo yards and touchdowns allowed to opposing backs,

772
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: though mostly because they've been playing with huge leads all season,

773
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 4: so a SEA.

774
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: Grade on Warren.

775
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 4: Just About every top running back is at least limped

776
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 4: to fifteen ish PPR points against the Colts this year,

777
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: so that's a C grade for me.

778
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Warren has looked really good to my eyes. He looks

779
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: like the best version of Jalen Warren we've seen throughout

780
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: his entire career. Vikings take on the Lions. This is

781
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: a JJ McCarthy start. The Vikings nine point underdogs might

782
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: be trailing throughout the game, which means the Lions are

783
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna be able to pin back their ears and come

784
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: after JJ McCarthy. The Vikings offensive line just gave up

785
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty four pressures in a single game last week, almost

786
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: killed Carson Wentz and Aiden Hutchinson coming now bench great

787
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: on JJ McCarthy as you probably expect Justin Jefferson. It's

788
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup here now. Detroit secondary is all kinds

789
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: of beat up, But it doesn't matter if McCarthy can't

790
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: get the ball out out of his hands. Lightning fast

791
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: against this pass rush and quick throws mean short gains

792
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: and that could cap Jefferson's upside. A rare B grade

793
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: for Justin Jefferson in this one. Jordan Addison. The Vikings

794
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: likely again trailing throughout the game. Hopefully that means some

795
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: extra passing and some extra looks for Addison here. The

796
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: secondary for the Lions, as I mentioned, all beat up

797
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: four starters are either out or questionable. Three or out

798
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: ones questionable. Non number one receivers have scored in three

799
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: straight games against the Lions, so we'll continue to start

800
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: Addison with the C grade. TJ. Howkinson has finished better

801
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: than tight end nineteen only one time all year. That

802
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: was his single game with the touchdown and compounding problems,

803
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: he's only catching the ball four and a half yards

804
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: downfield for Hawkinson. The Lions are a middle of the

805
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: pack tight end defense, but the last two opponents Travis

806
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: Kelcey Kate Ott in both top sixty five yards, So

807
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: there's your ray of hope. Still, I've got a bench

808
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: grade on Hawkinson despite the revenge game narrative. And then

809
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings running back Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones. They

810
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: have fully cannibalized each other. They've played three full games

811
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: together and their average finish combined is running back forty.

812
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: Mason needs goal line carries. Jones needs a bunch of

813
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: receptions to help your team, and promise to Trice's not

814
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: giving up either one. They haven't allowed a rushing touchdown

815
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: since week four. No runner is top fifty one rushing yards.

816
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: Since week four, no opposing runner has scored through the air,

817
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: and opposing runners are only averaging twenty four receiving yards.

818
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: So I've got bench grades on Mason and Jones. On

819
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: the Lion's side, Jamiir Gibbs completely owns the Vikings. I'll

820
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: remind you of his two game totals against the Vikings

821
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: last year. Two games, three hundred and thirty yards and

822
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: six touchdowns against Minnesota Thamier. Gibbs is an obvious A grade,

823
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: so is I'm on Ross Saint Brown obvious A grade.

824
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: David Montgomery gets interesting. He's posted three good games this year,

825
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: four bad ones. Fortunately, his good games are pretty predictable.

826
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: The Lions have scored thirty seven, thirty eight, and fifty

827
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: two points in the three David Montgomery good games. The

828
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: Vikings just gave up thirty two points to the Chargers,

829
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: and the lines are better offense. Minnesota's run defense metrics

830
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: are average too bad, including ranking twenty sixth in run

831
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: defense EPA, twenty sevenths in run defense success rate, and

832
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: PFF grades the Vikings as the eighteenth best run defense

833
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: C grade for Monty a little bit of upside to

834
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: maybe get you to a B, but we'll call it

835
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: a seat. Jamison Williams on Thursday, his offensive coordinator, said

836
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: he had failed in but maybe this is his one

837
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: a month good game. Because the Vikings have allowed the

838
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: highest completion rate on deep passes fifty eight percent. And

839
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: that's what Jamison Williams is all about. He comes in

840
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: with C grade. Sam Laporta, Vikings are a puzzling tight

841
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: end defense. In recent weeks, they've been bludgeoned by Harold

842
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: Fannin and Ronde Gadsden, but then they held Dallas Goddard

843
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: in check. Although AJ Brown and Vonte Smith were running

844
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: on a post downfield that it might be why C

845
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: grade on Sam Laporta and lastly, Jared Goff good quarterbacks

846
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: breezing through the Viking defense. Jalen Hurts justin fields Aaron

847
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers completing almost eighty percent of their passes averaging two

848
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one yards and two and a half touchdowns.

849
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: Golf fields extremely safe and as massive upside assuming Jamior

850
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: Gibbs doesn't need as lunch entirely a great for Jared Goff.

851

Speaker 1: We have a special guest for our Halloween edition of

870
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: Three Tough Questions, a guy who lost a fiddle competition

871
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: in Georgia. Welcome to the show, Beelzebub's.

872
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 6: First to sue with the worst.

873
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: It was good, good to see unexpected. Did not expect

874
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: to see you at.

875
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 3: The baby shower.

876
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: That was that was a surprise, Biel's Abub. I appreciate

877
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: your help here as we try to navigate three tough questions,

878
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: beginning with question number one.

879
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 6: Tough Question number one.

880
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 5: Works turpless twist twartz.

881
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: That's well, Bill's above was really made for this. This

882
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: is Scott Fish. Which packer receivers are tricks and which

883
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: are treats?

884
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: Oh boy, that is that is an interesting phrasing of

885
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 3: that question. I think does Tucker Craft count as a

886
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: receiver because I think he's definitely a treat going forward

887
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 3: the season.

888
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I believe Beals above was intending to talk

889
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: about wide receivers because I think at this point we

890
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: all know Tucker Craft is great.

891
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Packers have a bottom five schedule going

892
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 3: forward for wide receivers. It's it's a it's a tough run.

893
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs saw everything fall with the return of Christian Watson,

894
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 3: who only got four targets, but he caught all four

895
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 3: for eighty five.

896
00:46:59,680 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Uh.

897
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 3: Dobbs still got six targets, though Jayden Reed is coming back,

898
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 3: Michael Golden's working in all the rest should be on

899
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 3: the bench, but I think all four of those are

900
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 3: probably roster worthy. But I think only Watson and Dobbs

901
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 3: are gonna be startable in spots going forward.

902
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to Matt Harrison. Which Packers

903
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers are tricks and which are trees?

904
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Scott kind of nailed it. There's Romeo Dobbs,

905
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 4: There's Matthew Golden, who I dropped in a redraft league today.

906
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 4: By the way, Christian Watson's there. Don Davian Wicks is

907
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 4: involved when healthy. Malik Heath got snaps last week.

908
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 6: They like that.

909
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: Save on Williams as a gadget guy.

910
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 4: And Jaden Reid's coming back in a few weeks, and

911
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 4: they've got a stud tight end and a stud running back.

912
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 2: It's just depth at wide receiver.

913
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 4: Like we said at the beginning of the twenty twenty

914
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: four season, if you want the Packers passing game, just

915
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 4: skip the receivers and get Jordan Love.

916
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 2: That's all.

917
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: Love just loves to spread it around. They might all

918
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 3: be tricks, bread and the Love.

919
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: The correct answer is they are all tricks now. No

920
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: matter what we had hoped going into the season that

921
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden would emerge as the clear cut number one,

922
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: the alpha, they have not had in Green Bay, going

923
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: all the way back to DeVante Adams. They've been waiting,

924
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: they put a first round pick into it. It just

925
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. And as you guys correctly said, Christian Watson back,

926
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: Jaden Reid back, you are spinning your wheels weekend and

927
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: week out trying to guess which Packer might have a

928
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: good game coming up next weekend. Forget it. Just tap

929
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: out on this, as matt correctly did, drop all of

930
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: your packer receivers and put those put that problem onto

931
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: somebody else's proster. Thank you for chiming in Bielle's a bub.

932
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: Let's go to tough question to ord.

933
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 6: Tough question number two.

934
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 5: This maybe off the packos Wi Sivos have saved the

935
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 5: say to me sure to dig away?

936
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: Should you send Chuba Hubbard to the nether realm to

937
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: hang out with Biel's abob Let's begin with Matt Harrison

938
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: and I believe what I believe what Beelzebub is getting

939
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: to here is should you drop Chewba Hubbard entirely? Is

940
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: I think where we're headed on this.

941
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 4: I thought it was like WHOA, Well, that was pretty

942
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: aggressive there a Bel's above, but not yet. In every

943
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 4: game that both Hubbard and Dowdell have played, Hubbard has

944
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 4: had more snaps. In all but one game they've both played,

945
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 4: Hubbard has had more touches. They have the same amount

946
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: of touchdowns. And I think that this is kind of

947
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 4: like a high school relationship. For Dave Canalis, Chewba Hubbard

948
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,479
Speaker 4: went to the dance with him and is super nice

949
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 4: and has a pool at his house.

950
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 2: But Rico Dowdell is a little prettier.

951
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 4: And when Hubbard went on vacation Canalis and Dowdell hung

952
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 4: out a little too much, He's confused.

953
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: He's got to work this out. Don't drop him.

954
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: Yet, Scott Fish. Should you send Chewba Hubbard to another realm?

955
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: Meaning should you drop Chewba Hubbard?

956
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: A lot of what Matt said. And even in that

957
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 3: game where Dowdell did outtouch him, it was eighteen to sixteen.

958
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 3: It's not like he was a ridiculous amount of out touching. No,

959
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 3: this is not the time of year you drop second

960
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 3: or backup running backs. I routinely say this time of year,

961
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: this is when you pick up the second running backs.

962
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 3: I know Downell's now the starter, but he had twelve

963
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: plus touches in every single game. He's one injury away

964
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 3: from being a lead back on a team that gives

965
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 3: its running backs thirty plus opportunities. Look what just happened

966
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: this last week with Judkins, Stevenson, Kamara, Barkley, Scataboo, Swift,

967
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: and Pacheco all got injured last week. I know many

968
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: of them are playing again in their next game, but

969
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 3: some are out. You can't drop a second running back

970
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 3: at this point of the season, Yes you can.

971
00:50:59,440 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 6: I love it.

972
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: Let me give you some Hubbard futility stats for you.

973
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: Amongst starting running backs, he ranks thirty second in yards

974
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: after contact, thirty second in broken tackle rate, thirtieth in

975
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and thirtieth in yards over expectation at

976
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: negative point seven yards over expectation. This highlights I think

977
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mistakes fantasy managers make. They don't

978
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: cut bait on their own players fast enough. You're emotionally

979
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: invested in them, You're not willing, You're not willing to

980
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: acknowledge the mistake. Now, Hubbard is a backup running back,

981
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,959
Speaker 1: and those have some value, But he's a backup running

982
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: back on the sixth worst scoring offense, and I there

983
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: are others that have way, way, way better upside. If

984
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: you're going to roster a backup running back, Brian Robinson,

985
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson, Kenneth Gainwell, Basil Touton, Taji Spears, RJ. Harvey,

986
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Managai, Dave Montgomery. If there's a bunch of guys

987
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: that would rather have his backup running back, Tank Bigsby

988
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: first and foremost among them, that is actly right, that

989
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to be far better if they were

990
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: to be back. We've already seen Chuba Hubard fail as

991
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: a starter. Why do I hold him in case he

992
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: becomes the starter again?

993
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 6: No chance?

994
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: All right, beals ab take us to question number.

995
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 6: Three, Tough Question number three.

996
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 5: And Dad kill sha question merit e.

997
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Flantenstein's Oh, this is very interesting, by the way. Well

998
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: done on the Frankenstein's monster. His name is not Frankenstein.

999
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: That's the doctor, that is not the monster. Well done

1000
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,439
Speaker 1: by Biel's above. The undead corpse of Jacorey Krossky Merrit

1001
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: has struggled for three weeks, Scott Fish. I believe what

1002
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: bilsbub is asking here in our Halloween edition of three

1003
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: Tough Questions is should you trade for Jacorey Krossky Merrit

1004
00:52:58,960 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: at a dip price?

1005
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 3: You know my immediate thought when I heard Bielsabov saying

1006
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: that is I have Jacory Krossky marin a bunch of leagues.

1007
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 3: I didn't pay the skyrocketed price like I got him

1008
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 3: in the eighteenth round in s FBI. I was drafting him,

1009
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: you know, when he wasn't so expensive, and I don't

1010
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 3: even like having him right now. But when I looked

1011
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 3: into it his road. The last month has been a

1012
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: lot of tough defenses and he got he's got another

1013
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: one coming up this week. But he has one of

1014
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 3: the easiest remaining schedules, and if you filter starting in

1015
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 3: week eleven, he has the easiest remaining strength of schedule

1016
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 3: and the number one easiest playoff schedule. Problem is he's

1017
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: not getting the pass game usage. That's all McDaniels. It's

1018
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 3: like a fifty eight to forty two split. But with

1019
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 3: Daniels coming back, I think game scripts might flip and

1020
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 3: they might be in the lead where he might get

1021
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: more of that work back because they won't need to

1022
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 3: pass at the end of games. So I think I

1023
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 3: am buying the dip.

1024
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: All right, We're buying the dip at least through one answer.

1025
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Matt Harrison. The undead Corpse of

1026
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: your Kory Krossky Merritt has struggled for three straight weeks.

1027
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: Are you trying to acquire Jacorey Krassky.

1028
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 4: Mayort if you're in a good playoff spot right now

1029
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 4: and you think that you're going to make the playoffs

1030
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 4: and you don't need Jacorey Krossky Merrit for the next

1031
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: couple of weeks because there's a couple of stoppers on

1032
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 4: the schedule.

1033
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go try to buy bill right now. Fish

1034
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 2: alluded to it.

1035
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 4: But the Giants in week fifteen, twenty eighth against the run,

1036
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 4: the Eagles in Week sixteen twenty sixth against the run,

1037
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 4: and the Cowboys in week seventeen thirty first against the run.

1038
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 4: This is the opportunity of a lifetime to buy bill

1039
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 4: right now.

1040
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: You guys have hit all the salient talking points here

1041
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: at this is a perfect time to capitalize on the dip.

1042
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: For Jacorey Krossky Merritt, I'll only mention add in a

1043
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: couple of things. He's still netting four point nine yards

1044
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: per carry on the season. I mean that's pretty darn good.

1045
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 1: A lot of his bad games were Marcus Miriota starts,

1046
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: and this whole offense will be better with Jayden Daniels

1047
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: and just I test I Jkrey Krofsky Merrit has shown

1048
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: some NFL caliber traits. This kid's actually pretty darn good.

1049
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: I like him, so you know this is a we

1050
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: want to try to buy low on good players. I

1051
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: think I think to Corey Krosky Merritt is a pretty

1052
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: good player. We're gonna buy.

1053
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 5: Next week.

1054
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: Biel's above, I will not be a pickleball. I've got yeah,

1055
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: got a strained elbow. So that's not that is that

1056
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: is not happening.

1057
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 6: I'm very sorry, but you.

1058
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: Do have a wicked serve mention that really wickeds. Thank you,

1059
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: Biel did not think that even in this Halloween edition

1060
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: we would hear from actual Satan. But nice for him

1061
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: to drop into the show. Uh, let's go. Uh, let's

1062
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: see if we work in one matchup quickly. Here scott

1063
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: Fish Chargers taking on the Titans. Chargers are coming off

1064
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: an act, an absolute butt whipping of the Vikings, and

1065
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: now they get arguably the worst team in the league.

1066
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1067
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I got a lot of a grades here

1068
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 3: I have. It's on Justin Herbert, Kamani Vidal, Lad McConkie

1069
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: and Rode Rondez Gadsden. Two Titans have allowed multiple scores

1070
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 3: and back to back and good qbs have baled out.

1071
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 3: Herbert is a good QB. He himself is averaging about

1072
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy yards and two passing scores. He's

1073
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 3: tacking on thirty on the ground over the last three games.

1074
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 3: Eight scores out of Justin. Herbert Kamani Vidal might be saying,

1075
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 3: on a monster game here over five yards per carry,

1076
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 3: top three and yard rushing yards over expectation, and top

1077
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 3: three in explosive run rate, averaging nineteen for one hundred

1078
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 3: nineteen touches for one hundred combo yards. The Titans allowing

1079
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: the second most rushing yards and the most rushing scores

1080
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 3: to runners. Every single lead back has scored against the

1081
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans this year, every single one of them. They're

1082
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: favored by ten and a half, which says a running

1083
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 3: game script. Ladd McConkie I mentioned a grade. Over the

1084
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 3: last four weeks, lad is back to being the one

1085
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 3: number one again with the disappearance of Quentin Johnston, who's

1086
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 3: on a milk carton somewhere. He scored in three of

1087
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 3: four and double digit PPR points in all four of

1088
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 3: those games, averaging seven for seventy five. The Titans allowing

1089
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 3: the fifth most receptions and yards to opposing wide receivers,

1090
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 3: which is why I leaned into a Keenan Allen C grade.

1091
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 3: He only played twenty five percent of the snaps last week,

1092
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 3: but it might have been more because of the blowout

1093
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 3: and they wanted to get Trey Harris some snaps at

1094
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: the end of that game and let Keenan Allen rest

1095
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 3: his old legs there. So still leads the team in targets.

1096
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 3: He's just barely behind lad over the last month with

1097
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: those seven eight targets. His worst game this year is

1098
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 3: like eight PPR points, so I'm gonna give him a seat.

1099
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 3: It's a bottom five pass d Ronde Gadson. I mentioned

1100
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 3: the A grade, but he's already top five in yards

1101
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: among tight ends on the season and tight end Titans

1102
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: are middle against tight ends, but two of the last

1103
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 3: three scored against them, and earlier this year Warning McBride

1104
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: did good, So A grade for Aronde gads and Quentin

1105
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 3: Johnston on the bench. Over to the Tennessee side, I

1106
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 3: have some bench grades here though cam Ward's on the bench.

1107
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 3: Over the last four he's averaging over two hundred and

1108
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 3: fifty yards, but he's still only scoring zero or one

1109
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: times in every single game. It's been a rough start.

1110
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 3: The Chargers, though, ranked top ten against passers and have

1111
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 3: allowed the third fewest scores. Also in the passing game,

1112
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 3: elick Io Manner and Chamry Dkay. I think I'm given

1113
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 3: C grades on both of them because they're the only

1114
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 3: ones that are going to be able to get it

1115
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: done here. Iomnner's getting a lot of deep shots and

1116
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 3: that's that's one of the ways you can beat the Chargers.

1117
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 3: And they are ten point dogs, which means they are

1118
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 3: gonna have to have to pass quite a bit. I

1119
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 3: think I got a C grade on Iomaner DK with

1120
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 3: it that four to three four speed he highlighted last week.

1121
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 3: With Ridley out, I will say he's been wide receiver

1122
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 3: eleven since the coaching change. It's just two games. It

1123
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 3: corresponds with Ridley being out, it's corresponds with Locket being released,

1124
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 3: but two of like all three of those things are

1125
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 3: still a thing this week, So DK, I'm giving a segrade.

1126
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 3: Jefferson and Addison both did find Pittman and Pierce the

1127
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 3: week before. Both did fine segrades. Fine for DK, Chicka

1128
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 3: kon Ku and Gunner. Helm Helm scored that touchdown that

1129
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 3: we wanted him to score, but it was a complete

1130
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 3: total split. And this Chargers team is fifth, top five

1131
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 3: and top seven against tight ends in different categories. So

1132
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: bench grades on both of them, unfortunately, and for the Runners,

1133
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 3: that's where it gets a little tricky, you would think,

1134
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 3: But I got a segrade on Taj Spears and on

1135
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 3: Benching Tony Pollard this week, this week. Over the last

1136
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 3: three weeks, Taj has been the better back two of

1137
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 3: the three weeks. The Chargers did shut down the Vikings Runners,

1138
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 3: but before that, running backs in three straight had lit

1139
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 3: them up to an average of one hundred and seventy

1140
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: yards per game. So maybe it was more about the

1141
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 3: Vikings line and the Vikings runners than this Chargers defense.

1142
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 3: And according to Ian Fish, the Rams allowed the sixth

1143
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 3: most rushing touchdowns in the league, which could be great

1144
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 3: for Taja Spears, who has four red zone snaps, which

1145
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 3: is three more than Paulard in the last two weeks.

1146
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: And Taja averages two more red zone snaps than Powered

1147
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 3: over the last three games, So a little more opportunity

1148
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 3: there for Tajy Spears. With the C grade, I don't

1149
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 3: think there's enough room for them both to get going though.

1150
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 1: No, but let's watch Spears because he's looked really good.

1151
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, quiet, I think he's having his

1152
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: best season right now.

1153
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 6: Yep.

1154
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: We're going to track the Tennessee running back situation when

1155
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: we come back Jaguars taking on the Raiders. No Travis

1156
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,959
Speaker 1: Hunter sad development on Friday as he ends up going

1157
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: on ir Does Brian Thomas take this opportunity to reverse

1158
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a brutal season beginning against the Raiders? Find out when

1159
01:00:54,240 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

1160
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. A big block oh matchups for you, beginning

1161
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: with Jaguars taking on the Raiders. Travis Etn started the

1162
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: season red hot and is cooled significantly if only they

1163
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: had Tank Bigsby still on roster. Matt Harrison, what do

1164
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: you think about Travis Etn going up against the Raiders.

1165
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 4: It's been nearly a month of implosive output from Travis

1166
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 4: Etn last three games. He's averaging just thirteen touches and

1167
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 4: fifty six scoreless yards per game. Hasn't top sixty six

1168
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 4: percent of the snaps in any game this season. Why

1169
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 4: did the Jags trade Tank bigs Be? That's a head

1170
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 4: scratcher for me, Just a C grade for Etn. The

1171
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 4: Raiders have allowed the fourth US Combo yards to running

1172
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 4: backs this year. It's closer to a bench grade than

1173
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 4: a se grade two. Tough question number four, are we

1174
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 4: sure Trevor Lawrence is good at football. His completion percentage

1175
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 4: has been on a steady decline since twenty twenty two,

1176
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 4: when it was sixty six percent. It's down to fifty

1177
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 4: eight percent this year. He's on pace for twenty two

1178
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 4: touchdown passes and twelve picks. That's not very good. He's

1179
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 4: only averaging two hundred thirty one yards per game. It's

1180
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 4: an average matchup. The Raiders have allowed multiple passing touchdowns

1181
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 4: in only three games, and no quarterback has topped two

1182
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 4: to eighty seven on them this year. Lawrence's average of

1183
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 4: two thirtyish yards and one touchdown is probably what we're

1184
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 4: looking at. That's a C grade. Brian Thomas was limited

1185
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 4: in practice on Thursday, so keep an eye. He gets

1186
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 4: a B start if he goes top of the depth chart.

1187
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 4: Wide receivers have had good days against the Raiders as

1188
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 4: of late. Rashi Rice, Michael Pittman, Romo Dounze all really

1189
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 4: good days in the past few weeks. That's because they're

1190
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 4: matching up with corner Kayu Blue Kelly, who's a real

1191
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 4: person and the week spot on the Old Raiders defense

1192
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 4: passer rating of one twenty four. In his coverage, he

1193
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 4: stays to the outside, so does Thomas most often, so

1194
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 4: let's fire him up. By the way, Travis Hunter was

1195
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 4: placed on IR this morning, so you're not starting him.

1196
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 4: And I don't think there's any other Jags wide receivers.

1197
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 4: I don't think Trevor Lawrence is good, so can't trust

1198
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 4: the receivers very much. Brock Bauers is back on the

1199
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 4: other side, though, and by all accounts he's back to

1200
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 4: one hundred percent. He gets an A grade. And let's

1201
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 4: cherry pick some data here. Bowers got hurt in week one.

1202
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 4: He gutted it out for three weeks before they finally

1203
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 4: sat him. So let's take week one and look backwards.

1204
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 4: In the prior fourteen games, he'd averaged seven catches and

1205
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 4: seventy seven yards per game, and he scored five times

1206
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 4: in that span. The Jags tight end defense is struggling

1207
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 4: as of recently. Starting in Week four, Jake Tongas and

1208
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey each had fifty eight yards into score. Aj

1209
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 4: Barner went for seventy one yards, and the Rams tight

1210
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 4: ends come by for eight catches one hundred and one

1211
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 4: yards in a score in London. What Trey Tucker was

1212
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 4: charges take a chance on me? Wide receiver and Jacoby

1213
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 4: Myers was a full participant in practice this week. He

1214
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 4: really wants to trade out of Vegas, though, and as

1215
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 4: long as he's not traded between now and Sunday, he'll

1216
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 4: play and he'll probably be just fine. For most of

1217
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 4: the reasons, we like the matchup for Trey Tucker, specifically

1218
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 4: the six wide receiver touchdowns allowed in the last three games.

1219
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 4: I think Jacoby Meyer is also startable with a C grade.

1220
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Gino Smith was might take a chance on me quarterback

1221
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 4: and Ashton Genty as the toughest test of all the

1222
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 4: Raiders here. As the Jags are on, defense has actually

1223
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 4: been very solid this year. They're allowing the fifth fewest

1224
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 4: rushing yards at only seventy per game, and they've only

1225
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 4: given up two rushing scores on the season, and they

1226
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 4: were both to Kareem Hunt, of all people. The glimmer

1227
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 4: of hope is that the Jags have allowed the ninth

1228
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 4: most receiving yards to backs and Genty can catch a

1229
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 4: pass or two. The biggest key to Genty's varying touch

1230
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 4: totals have been close games, though in the games that

1231
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 4: the Raiders have lost by double digits, they're basically taking

1232
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 4: him off the field and taking miles off of him.

1233
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 4: And this game spread is only Jags by three and

1234
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 4: a half, so in theory it should be close enough.

1235
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 4: I'll give Jenty a B grade here.

1236
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Maybe with Jacoby Myers they showcase him for the trade

1237
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: and just held him with targets. I mean, you know

1238
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: that is a That is a plausible scenario for a

1239
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: team that's trying to get a little something for Jacoby

1240
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Myers in the last year of his deal. You mentioned

1241
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, So I'm gonna start with the running game

1242
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs taking on the Bills. He's going to

1243
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: be your starter with Isaiah Pacheco out now. Hunt's metrics

1244
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: are awful, including a league worst avoided tackle rate of

1245
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: nine percent, but absolutely startable in a positive matchup, and

1246
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: he's the goal line back. As reminder, Bills are a

1247
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: shockingly bad run defense. Only the Titans have a lot

1248
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: of more rushing touchdown than the Bills. They were ranked

1249
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: twenty third and run stuff win rate twenty eighth in

1250
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: defensive six. That's right, the Bills. So Kareem Hunt B grade.

1251
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Go figure. The other running back you care about is

1252
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: Brichard Smith. He figures to have a much bigger role

1253
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: with Pacheco out, and Hunt is probably not a workhorse

1254
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: anymore at this stage of his career. So Brichard Smith

1255
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: should be on the field a fair hmount here. He's

1256
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: the better receiving back, and despite all of Buffalo's trouble

1257
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: stopping the run, they've been great against receiving backs. Only

1258
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: b John Robinson his top twenty nine receiving yards. Nobody

1259
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: has scored through the air against the Bills. So even

1260
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: though Brichard Smith should catch a few passes here, I've

1261
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: just got the C grade on him. Go over to

1262
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: the passing game or the Chiefs. Rashi Rice obvious A grade.

1263
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: He is a monster finishing as as a top tight

1264
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: end wide receiver in both of his post suspension games.

1265
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: He's going to be in A grade most of the time.

1266
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy. Since Rice's return, he has retained a snap count,

1267
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: but his target rate has dropped from twenty three percent

1268
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen percent. I mean, there's just not as many

1269
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: balls to go around with Raci Rice on the field.

1270
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 2: Not worthy.

1271
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Your roster is worthy of Xavier, who comes in with

1272
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: the C grade I mentioned. The Bills give up big

1273
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: games to opposing number one receivers. Number twos don't generally

1274
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: do as well. So just the C grade on Xavier

1275
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Worthy in this game.

1276
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 3: Let's talk.

1277
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey went berserk on Monday night, but that is

1278
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: a total outlier. In the seven games before Monday, he

1279
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: was averaging just tight end number fourteen. That is not

1280
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,959
Speaker 1: a mandate to auto start Travis Kelcey on your fantasy roster.

1281
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: That is muscled memory for starting Travis kelce That's it.

1282
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: And here's what you need to know. The Bills tight

1283
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: end defense has been phenomenal. Buffalo has allowed one tight

1284
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: end score all year. No tight end is top forty

1285
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: six yards all year. The average output for a starting

1286
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: tight end against the Bills an unbelievable two catches for

1287
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: seventeen yards.

1288
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 5: That is it.

1289
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: And the Bills faced Kelsey last year two catches f

1290
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: eight yards.

1291
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

1292
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: So Travis kelce I prefer you bention, but I'll go

1293
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 1: C grade hit here in a very contrarian angle. And

1294
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is absolutely on fire. He is an obvious

1295
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: are going over to the Bill side. James could crush

1296
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in last year's playoff game with one hundred

1297
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and thirty four yards and two scores. But Kansas City

1298
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: is a very improved run defense. The last three lead

1299
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: runners to face Kansas City have only averaged thirty seven

1300
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: scoreless yards and three and a half yards per carry.

1301
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: And weirdly, James Cook hasn't caught a pass in three

1302
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: weeks and he's been targeted only once, which is weird

1303
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: for a guy who can catch. So I've just got

1304
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: the B grade on him. We're not talking about Kean

1305
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Coleman anymore on this show until he does something. He

1306
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: is on the bench. Khalil Shakir is the wide receiver

1307
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: you care about. Among all receivers. Khalil Shakir second in

1308
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, averaging nine and a half yards.

1309
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: That is awfully impressive. That's basically a free fantasy point

1310
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: on every reception, just on yak This is a tricky

1311
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: individual matchup. Kansas City allows the third fewest fantasy points

1312
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: to slot receivers, but in the slot they usually use

1313
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 1: this hybrid safety guy named Tamari Connor. He's giving up

1314
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 1: a ninety three percent catch rate. He gave up a

1315
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, and so Khalil Shakir remained startable with

1316
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: a B grade. Dunk Kin kid has been all over

1317
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: the map. This is a tough matchup against the fourth

1318
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: best tight end defense. They shut down Zachertz last week.

1319
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: Only one tight end has scored against the Chiefs all year,

1320
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: and he was very quiet last week with this oblique injury.

1321
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: So I'd really prefer that you don't have to start Kinkaid.

1322
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: I've got to see grade on him until we know

1323
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: he's healthy and more productive. And then, lastly, Josh Allen

1324
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: for non divisional opponents. These two teams play each other

1325
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: all the time, and when is this going to be

1326
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 1: his fifth matchup against the Bills in three seasons. His

1327
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,839
Speaker 1: passing has been okay in those but where Josh Allen's

1328
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 1: been awesome. He has trucked the Chiefs on the ground.

1329
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: He's scored four rushing touchdowns in the past four games

1330
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and mobile quarterbacks have stared well against

1331
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year, Kansas City giving up the third

1332
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: most quarterback rushing yards, second most quarterback rushing touchdown. I'm

1333
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Luke Warman on Allen's passing options, but with all that running,

1334
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: he is still an A grade. All right, Let's work

1335
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: in one last matchup scott Saints taking on the Rams.

1336
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: I gotta believe there aren't a lot of Saints that

1337
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 1: we're going to be starting here in this matchup.

1338
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 3: There probably shouldn't be. I I don't have a starting

1339
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 3: grade on Tyler Shack, who might be the spencer rattler

1340
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 3: of Jake Haynes. But he did throw the ball thirty

1341
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 3: times in just a half in a blowout last week.

1342
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 3: Saints are double digit underdogs here. He targeted in that half.

1343
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 3: He targeted Chris Alave six times, Juwan Johnson six times,

1344
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,799
Speaker 3: in Rashid Shaheed eight times. In fact, Shaheed's eight targets

1345
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 3: came all in the last seventeen minutes of that game.

1346
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 3: We could see similar high volume from them here. But

1347
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 3: I'm a little worried about what the production will baby,

1348
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna give all three of those guys C grades.

1349
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 3: It might only be two of them, but it's potentially

1350
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 3: a lot of volume in a game script where they're

1351
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 3: likely to be behind as double digit underdogs. It's a

1352
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 3: middle of the pack matchup for wide receivers. But for

1353
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 3: a Lave he has over ten, He's averaging over ten

1354
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 3: targets to the tune of seven for sixty three has

1355
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 3: double digit PPR points almost every single week this season.

1356
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 3: Rashid Jahed has twenty one targets over the last two

1357
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 3: I mentioned how you just got a ton with Tyler

1358
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 3: shuck In, and several of those were deep shots with

1359
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 3: a lot of volume and a few deep shots. If

1360
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 3: he connects on one, might be a C grade there.

1361
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 3: And with Juwan Johnson, he's got five plus catches fifty

1362
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 3: plus yards and back to back. The only two tight

1363
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 3: ends to do really good work against the Rams were

1364
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 3: the two that had really big volume, and that was

1365
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 3: Jake Tanjis and I'm blanking on the other Tyler Warren.

1366
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 3: Jawan Johnson might be in line for big targets here,

1367
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 3: so he might be able to do something with it.

1368
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 3: I will say the Rams have terrorized young qbs, so

1369
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 3: there's a chance that it just doesn't happen for any

1370
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 3: of these three. The one I would be I rank

1371
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 3: him a lave Shaheed Johnson, but that's all within the

1372
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 3: realm of possibility. Over to the running backs, I have

1373
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 3: bench grades on both Tamara and Devin Neil. Amara is

1374
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 3: trending towards plane. He's questionable with an angle an ankle injury,

1375
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 3: but if it's a blowout, he might sit late. But

1376
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 3: Devin Neil also has an ankle injury. I'm not even

1377
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 3: sure who comes in at running back at that point.

1378
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 3: Is it Taysom Hill because currently they only have two

1379
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 3: on their depth charts. They have Kendrick Miller on IR

1380
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 3: and two running backs who are both third. Kamara's best

1381
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 3: rushing day this over the last month is thirty one yards.

1382
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 3: His best past receiving game this season, he's twenty one

1383
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 3: yards receiving is his best game season. It's a bad matchup,

1384
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 3: he's dinged up. It's likely to be a blowout. No

1385
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 3: to that running game. Over the Rams side, I have

1386
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 3: a B grade on Matthew Stafford, who's averaging two hundred

1387
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 3: and sixty seven passing yard in multiple scores and has

1388
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 3: multiple scores in all but one game. The Saints did

1389
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 3: hold Baker Mayfield and Caleb Williams down under one hundred

1390
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,719
Speaker 3: and seventy five scoreless yards each of the last two games,

1391
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:16,480
Speaker 3: but prior to that, every single KB had multiple scores,

1392
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 3: and those two teams last two weeks leaned on their

1393
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 3: run game. A ton La might do that here, but

1394
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,799
Speaker 3: Puka Stafford Davante Is how is the heart of their offense.

1395
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 3: I think they'll get theirs before they get the game

1396
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 3: out of control. So I have A grades on Puka Nakua,

1397
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 3: who when he plays sixty percent of the snaps over

1398
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 3: the course of his career, he's an auto A with

1399
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 3: an average of nine for over one hundred yards, So

1400
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 3: a grade there. B grade on DeVante Adams. With Nikua playing,

1401
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 3: he might he might back off a little. He doubled

1402
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,560
Speaker 3: his touchdown total last week from three to six. His

1403
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 3: yardage has been low for weeks, but he's such a

1404
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 3: huge red zone threat in that offense. I still have

1405
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 3: him as B B grade worthy. Over to the run game,

1406
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 3: Kyron Williams despite running Karen Williams like I got an

1407
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 3: A grade on. He's averaging eighteen touches ninety plus yards,

1408
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 3: has five scores in seven games. Shouldn't have trouble hitting

1409
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 3: those against the middle of the pack defense that allows

1410
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 3: the second most rush attempts, the seventh most rushing yards,

1411
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 3: and they're going to be ahead. And because they get ahead.

1412
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 3: Blake korm who had a bunch of touches last week,

1413
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 3: I think he starts to work in a little bit more,

1414
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 3: the second running back against this Saints team has had

1415
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 3: double digit touches in four of the last five weeks.

1416
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 3: Last week, Tucker scored. The week before Manan Guy scored.

1417
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 3: Korm himself is coming off as season high in snaps

1418
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 3: and touches. I think it's a se grade for Korm.

1419
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 3: I think he can get something done here.

1420
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Blake Core's that would be a nice shot if you

1421
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: can get that one home. And Kyrien Williams, I feel

1422
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: like is just sort of forgotten about a little bit.

1423
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I love him in this matchup. He's my number four ranked.

1424
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,759
Speaker 1: He's not four ranked running back across the entire board

1425
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: this week, So I'm very you're very optimistic against Saints.

1426
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: When we come back premature speculation, we'll go into the

1427

1443
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: let's jump into the Fantasy Football Weekly Time Machine.

1444
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 6: For pre sure speculation.

1445
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: And well this should we begin with Scott Fish.

1446
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be my last FFW for a

1447
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,640
Speaker 3: little while here, so I'm gonna cheat a little bit.

1448
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cheat. I mentioned, I mentioned how there were

1449
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 3: eight running backs, eight starting running backs, and come out

1450
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 3: of last week with injuries. I'm using this time to

1451
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 3: remind people go pick up any backup running backs apparently

1452
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 3: except for Chuba Hubbard out there, Tank Pigsby, go get him. Yes,

1453
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 3: the Eagles are playoff team. Barkley is dinged up. Maybe

1454
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: maybe they sit him a little more down the street

1455
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 3: like Trey Henderson, Devin Neil, Dylan Samson, Kaman on guy

1456
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 3: you should have right now for this week. He's Paul's

1457
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 3: take a chance on me player. But Tyler al Gil

1458
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 3: Blake Korum, Emmanuel Wilson, Matts, take a chance on me player.

1459
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 3: If they're a backup, Randy back out there, go get them.

1460
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 3: If Briest Hall gets traded, Isaiah Davis becomes really really

1461
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 3: a potential big deal. If Paulard gets traded, Tajy Spears,

1462
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 3: Jacoby Jones gets traded, Jack Besh or Trey Tucker. I

1463
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 3: know that those are wide receivers.

1464
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 5: Are you.

1465
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 3: I am Trey Benson and Brandon I you are under

1466
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 3: sixty percent rostered. If they're out there, go get them.

1467
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 3: They'll be coming back soon. But my true take a

1468
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 3: chance on me player. None of those guys is Terrell.

1469
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go deep cut for the people Terrell Jennings,

1470
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 3: who split carries with Traveon Henderson as the backup to

1471
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 3: Ramandre Stevens in the last two weeks. There's a non

1472
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 3: zero chance Traveon Henderson continues to be ineffective, and there's

1473
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 3: we're already been a little hinting that reminder Stevenson's injury

1474
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 3: might be a little more serious than it should be.

1475
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 3: Maybe go stash charl Jennings just in case he's a thing.

1476
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 1: All right, I think that you've just said an all

1477
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: time record for premature speculation, and fortunately our guys are

1478
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: not in that mix. Against all odds, Matt, there was

1479
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: some at least two players that were not mentioned. Who

1480
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: do you got?

1481
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take this moment to remind everybody to

1482
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 4: pick up every quarterback in the league and make sure

1483
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 4: that you have them all on your roster. But I'll

1484
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 4: mention one that I like the most. It's JJ McCarthy.

1485
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 4: We've seen him play two games, eight quarters. Seven quarters

1486
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 4: did not look great. One quarter earned him NFC Player

1487
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 4: of the Week honors, But we also haven't seen him

1488
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 4: with a full and complete offensive line. Both of his

1489
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 4: tackles and center have been in and out of the lineup.

1490
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz is a distant memory. Now it's Jj. The

1491
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 4: rest of the way.

1492
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna win or lose with him, and you.

1493
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 4: Gotta think that they're gonna get their line back at

1494
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 4: some point point, and if they get him back. In

1495
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 4: December Week fourteen, Washington third worst pass defense in the league.

1496
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 4: Week fifteen, Dallas worst pass defense in the league. Week sixteen,

1497
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 4: Giants second worst pass defense in the league. In a

1498
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 4: three week span, he's got the three worst pass defenses

1499
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 4: in the league. JJ McCarthy might be worth it for

1500
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 4: your playoff run.

1501
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,560
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna be lazy and just repeat the

1502
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: guy I used last week because nobody picked him up,

1503
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: and you should have. Gunner helmed the tight end for

1504
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: the Titans. We talked about it last week. He's getting

1505
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: increasing usage on a young team that's trying to rebuild.

1506
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: Chicka Koon Ku is not very good. Gunner Helms scored

1507
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: last week. He's almost pulled even on playing time, and

1508
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: his future looks really bright. He is the future of

1509
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: the tight end position for the Titans. You might want

1510
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 1: to get in now, particularly in Dynasty and Empire formats. Yep,

1511
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: we've got two matchups left, Matt. We begin with the Cardinals.

1512
01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: It's ambiguous as of this taping who the quarterback will

1513
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:01,799
Speaker 1: be for the Arizona Cardinals.

1514
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 4: Oh, they're being so cagey. Who's who's gonna be? Versette

1515
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 4: took team first team reps on Friday. Murray threw at

1516
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 4: the backups. Jonathan Gannon said he was preparing for Kyler

1517
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,639
Speaker 4: to start, and then they got a practice coming on Saturday.

1518
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 4: We might get a slight clue after that, but it's

1519
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 4: a bonus take a chance on me. B grade for

1520
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 4: whoever starts in this one, because it's against Dallas. It's

1521
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 4: the best We've been picking on Dallas all year. They're

1522
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 4: terrible at defense, They're terrible at pass defense. It's the

1523
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 4: best possible matchup for either quarterback. So B grade for

1524
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 4: whoever goes. Marvin Harrison gets an A grade gets to

1525
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 4: line up against either kyer Elam, who's given up one

1526
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 4: hundred and eighteen passer rating in his coverage, or Trevon

1527
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 4: Diggs replacement trick Wheezy Bridges, who is a real person

1528
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 4: and gave up two touchdowns in his coverage just last week.

1529
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 4: I believe they were both to Troy Franklin. Ooh yeah,

1530
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 4: Cowboys have allowed fifteen wide receiver touchdowns here. If you

1531
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 4: have Kyler or and you can't get Briset like in

1532
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 4: a super flex spot for Monday Night, I wouldn't mind

1533
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 4: starting Michael Wilson if Kyler can't play, But I don't

1534
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 4: really have a starting grade on him.

1535
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 2: Trey McBride gets an A grade.

1536
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 4: The Cowboys are slightly better against the tight end, but

1537
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 4: Dallas Goddard, Tucker Craft, Mason Taylor Zechertz all managed to

1538
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 4: hit double digit PPR points, and Trey McBride's as good,

1539
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 4: if not better than all those guys. We thought Bam

1540
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 4: Knight was the only backround roster when they cut Michael

1541
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 4: Carter at the beginning of this week, but then they

1542
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 4: might be starting Carter because they picked him up, put

1543
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 4: him on the practice squad, and now he's taking first

1544
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 4: team reps in practice. The last time we saw these backs,

1545
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 4: Bam had seventeen touches and sixty four Conbo yards. Carter

1546
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 4: had nine touches and thirty six. The matchup is fantastic.

1547
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,719
Speaker 4: The Cowboys are allowing one hundred and fifty nine conboy

1548
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 4: yards to runners, second most in the league, and even

1549
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 4: if it's a fifty to fifty split, that's like eighty

1550
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 4: yards for each of them. But these Cardinals are playing

1551
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 4: at so coy with their third and fourth string runners.

1552
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:00,719
Speaker 2: Rates for both.

1553
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 4: I guess I like BAM slightly better, and if they

1554
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 4: don't activate Carter, BAM goes up to a B grade.

1555
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 4: Javonte Williams gets an A grade. It doesn't look like

1556
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 4: it on paper, but the Cardinals defense is not great

1557
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 4: against opposing backs. Sixteen or more PPR points to every

1558
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 4: lead back they've faced in the last six games but one,

1559
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 4: and that was when Seattle split evenly Sharbon Anne Walker

1560
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 4: and they each had twelve PPR points. Dak Prescott gets

1561
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 4: an A grade at least three touchdown passes in four

1562
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,759
Speaker 4: straight weeks before getting blanked by the Broncos awesome defense

1563
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 4: last week. This defense isn't that the matchup looks tough

1564
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 4: on paper, but those numbers are bolstered by the Cardinals

1565
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 4: facing Spencer Rattler, Bryce Young, Mac Jones, and Cam Ward

1566
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 4: to start the season. Cede Lamb and George Pickens. They're

1567
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 4: both A grades. You'd think pickens numbers would have drastically

1568
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 4: dropped after Lamb returned, but he had four for eighty

1569
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 4: two and one and seven for seventy eight in the

1570
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 4: other and targets in those two games. Since slam got back,

1571
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 4: it was eighteen for Lamb and fifteen for Pickens. The

1572
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 4: Cardinals haven't faced the duo wide receivers anywhere close to

1573
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 4: this this year. But back in week two, Hunter renfro

1574
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 4: scored twice and Teed McMillan had one hundred yards in

1575
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 4: the same game.

1576
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 2: So here we go.

1577
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson also an A grade and my last guy today.

1578
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 4: All we need to do is look at the last

1579
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 4: two weeks of Cardinals D versus the tight Ends. Tyler

1580
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 4: Warren had six for sixty three in a score. Tucker

1581
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 4: Craft had five for fifty eight in a score. That's

1582
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 4: about the tier that Jake Ferguson is in. So I

1583
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,919
Speaker 4: think we're looking at like sixty yards and a touchdown

1584
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 4: in this one for Ferguson.

1585
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,879
Speaker 1: Ferguson has been phenomenal for most of this season except

1586
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: for last week. Let's go back to the final matchup,

1587
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: which is Seattle taking on the Commanders. I'm gonna start

1588
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,719
Speaker 1: with the ultra frustrating committee of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charboney.

1589
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Walker is clearly the better runner, but Sharbony getting a

1590
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 1: lot of usage, including the goal line. Charbone has already

1591
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: got nine carries from inside the five nine times nine time.

1592
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Sharbs is running at just two point eight yards per carry.

1593
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 1: That is dead last among all runners. With his seventy

1594
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: two rushes. Meanwhile, Walker running it twice the productivity in

1595
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: the exact same offense. Both guys startable. Commanders have allowed

1596
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: the fifth most Fantasy points to opposing runners. Opponents have

1597
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 1: topped one hundred rushing yards in three straight So I've

1598
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: actually got a B grade on both Kenneth Walker and

1599
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Zach sharbon Ay. It was close to sees for both,

1600
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 1: but just know this Sharboney need it's the touchdowns where

1601
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: he gets you very very little over to the passing game.

1602
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba is an obvious a that does

1603
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: not require any elaboration. Cooper Cup very low usage the

1604
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, but an exploitable matchup for Cup

1605
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He runs from the slot a lot, not exclusively,

1606
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: but a lot, and he'll match up with sophomore cornerback

1607
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: Mike Sandris. Still, he's just a guy, He's ProFootball focuses

1608
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,520
Speaker 1: qurnerback one hundred five. The Commanders have allowed the fourth

1609
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: most yards to wide out on and sixty three per game,

1610
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 1: So Cup startable here see grade. The two tight ends A. J.

1611
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: Barner and Elijah Royo are basically cannibalizing each other. They

1612
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: stay on the bench Sam Donald. Great opportunity for Donald

1613
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: against a flagging Washington pass defense that's allowed multiple touchdowns

1614
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: to six of the past seven quarterbacks. We know Sam

1615
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: can get into trouble against a great pass rush, but

1616
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: Washington's pass rush isn't great, It's just middle of the pack.

1617
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: They ranked fifteenth by Pro Football Focus, fifteenth in ESPN's

1618
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: pass rush win rate. Over the past five weeks, the

1619
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: Commanders have allowed the second most points to opposing quarterbacks.

1620
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: A grade for Sam Donald, You'd think you'd think Brian

1621
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Johnson run this show. Let's go over to the commander's side.

1622
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 1: Jacorey Krosky Merritt. We talked about him a lot in

1623
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 1: three tough questions and he's been completely neutralized over the

1624
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: last three games, and this is his toughest matchup of

1625
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: the year. The Seahawks have one of the three best

1626
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: run defenses in the league. No backs top forty eight

1627
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: yards since the opener, and since the opener, opposing backs

1628
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: for running at just two point nine yards per carry.

1629
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: That is total domination. Only one runner has scored a

1630
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,759
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown against the Seahawks all year. Bench grade Jeremy

1631
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: McNichols very quickly. He is now really Austin Eckler, and

1632
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: Seattle has struggled with pass catching backs. They've allowed the

1633
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: most running back reception seven per game. They're giving up

1634
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: the fourth most running back receiving yards. And McNichols comes

1635
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 1: in with a surprise. See grade, What about Deebo Samuel?

1636
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: You ask he has not been right since his heel

1637
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 1: injury three weeks ago. Back to back Hindenburg level games

1638
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: with twelve yards and fourteen yards. Oh the humanity. Deebo Samuel.

1639
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: Samuel runs from the slot a lot, and he's gonna

1640
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 1: face one of the better slot defenders, Devon Witherspoon. He

1641
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: has missed a bunch of games with knee injury, but

1642
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: he's back for this one. With Terry McLaurin out, Seattle

1643
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: can put extra coverage on Deebo. I'm putting him on

1644
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,799
Speaker 1: the bench until we see Deebo do more than fourteen

1645
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: and twelve yards. Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore are going

1646
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: to get more playing time here, and they're just this

1647
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: is not the right time to try to do a

1648
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: deep dive on those guys. Non number one receivers have

1649
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 1: done nothing against a good Seahawks secondary, they're on the bench.

1650
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz in the games Terry McLaurin has missed. You

1651
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: would think zach Ertz would get a big spike in usage,

1652
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: but it really hasn't worked out that way. He has

1653
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: scored in two of the past three games, which has

1654
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: been good, but he's touchdown dependent. He's averaging a pitifull

1655
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,799
Speaker 1: two catches for eighteen yards in games with out a touchdown,

1656
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: So will he score. Seattle's only allowed one tight end

1657
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: score since the opener, so probably not. But four different

1658
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: tight ends have top fifty yards in the last first

1659
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 1: Seattle games. So you get a ray of hope and

1660
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: a C grade on zach Ertz. And that brings us

1661
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: to our final player of this episode of Fantasy Football Weekly,

1662
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,759
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels. Washington likely trailing throughout this game, and because

1663
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: most opponents are a Seattle seeing a league high thirty

1664
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: nine passes per game against them, that is a ton

1665
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: of volume, and through sheer volume, Daniels should be sitting

1666
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: on a pretty good game. Even if I don't love

1667
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 1: his receivers individual matchups, I do worry about the rushing

1668
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: upside because the last week hamstring injury they might not

1669
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: run him much, but if you give me thirty nine

1670
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 1: dropbacks for Jane Daniels, there's gonna be some opportunities for

1671
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: passing and some scrambling yardage. And Daniels comes in with

1672
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: a bat break charge to Scottish.

1673
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 3: You want me at pre speculation first.

1674
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: No, Instead, tell me a little bit about what's happening
