7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: glad to be back. I'm glad you're still alive. Yes,

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: a week. Yeah, it's been a week upside upset. I'm

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: literally an upside down week. No, No, the car did

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: not go upside down. But I need to find a

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: new car now. You do, and you and I are

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: very different. I love new car shop. I can do

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: it once a year. I would do it once a year, man,

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I that would be to me. That would be I

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: just I love it test driving and then finding all

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: the information and you know, yeah, comparing all you do

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: you do, like researching things. That's that's the part of

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: you do you do? I do? I do? I just uh,

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: I hate dealing with all that kind of that amount

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: of money and stress and all that stuff. It is.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: It certainly can be stressful. It's a big decision, right financially,

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: usually the biggest decision you'll make every ten years or whatever.

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: And however you go through cars, what is what is

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: going on here? I know we'll get weekly. We will

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: have all the usual stuff that we get to over

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: the course of the show, including premature speculation, three tough questions,

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. We'll break down all of

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: the games Fantasy Football Weekly style, with letter grades on

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: every player. We begin with Pittsburgh taking on Atlanta. Scott

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: nag Harris, I believe off the injury report on front. Yeah,

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna go. He's gonna go. So on this one.

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Everybody who picked up Jalen Warren and Benny Sneller in

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: the week is like, darn it, Well, people had Jalen

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Warren on roster season things. Yeah, absolutely, that's absolutely about

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: He's the best running back on the teams, produced about

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: six Fantasy points this year, better than Nausea here well

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: on the Steelers side. On the Steelers side, everyone's pretty

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: much gonna get C grades for me. It's just such

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: a great match up against the Falcons. But the Steeler's

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: offense has been pretty anemic. So let's start with pick

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Kenny pick it. He only has one touchdown in the

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: last four games and no multiple passing touchdown games. But

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the eyeball test is he looks pretty decently. He was

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: making some throws. I thought the exact same thing last week,

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Like I I saw him looking poison making better. That

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: was me And with Trevor Lawrence last year and earlier

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: this year, he didn't look good last year Trevor Lawrence,

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: and this season we're like, oh, we can see the

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: eyeball test change. Well, we'll talk more about Trevor Lawrence. Yeah,

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: I saw that, would pick it. Last week he looked

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: really a lot better. Uh. He gets you some points

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: on the ground too, and has a few scores that way.

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Atlanta has also allowed a couple of scores on the ground.

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Seven of the seven of eleven quarterbacks against the Falcons

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: had multiple scores. On paper, it's the thirtisiest matchup for

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks, but they've held the last three under hundred

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: sixty passing yard. I still think I would lean towards

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: the other side of how Atlanta has played most of

59
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the year, and I'm giving Picket a c but they're

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: are many bye weeks. You might not consider it but

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: uh Deante Johnson and George Pickens are also both getting

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: cs because those targets are hyper focused to those two

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: guys with five to six targets per game. Since the

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: departure of Maple Tron, h Johnson sees slightly more volume.

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Picker the bigger plays. Uh Deante Johnson hasn't even scored

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: this year, but it's a It's a decent spot in

67
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: a decent matchup, and again bottom ten against basically every position,

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: so I got se grades on both of them. UH

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Falcons also second worst against the slot this year, so

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: that's good for Deonte Johnson and possibly Pat Firenmouth, who

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: runs out of the first det Johnson touchdown of the year.

72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't get that bold. If

73
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: pick It only throws one, it's probably more likely Pickens,

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: but he might get to two here. Pat Firemouth consistently

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: finding three to four catches thirty to forty yard days,

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: but he's semi exploded for seventy five plus yards four times.

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: His floor is basically a low end top twelve tight end.

78
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: In a good matchup like this, maybe he starts to

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: crack the top of that. But I do have a

80
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: c grade on him Nagers. Sounds like he's gonna go. Um,

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: All reports are he's gonna go. And the Falcons are

82
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: bottom ten against runners, especially recently. The lead back the

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: last three games hundred thirty in a score, HU score,

84
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Hudd score. Yeah, we'll take that. But it's Naga Harris

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: behind this whole line, so expect eighty two and maybe

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a score that sounds more so. Again, I think Harris

87
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: has played much better lately. Yeah, yeah, so I guess

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: been hurt. Yes, let's look at the numbers. All right,

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: let's let's go over to the Falcons. I got Marriotta

90
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: on the bench Sedons week four. The Steels have allowed

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: multiple scores to a QB just three times, and that

92
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: was Burrow Hurts and Alan Marriotta is nowhere near them.

93
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: He's not getting as much in the rushing as you'd

94
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: want him to as he was early in the season.

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: He's a the top two passing yards three times, multiple

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: scores only three times. He's just not getting done. Too

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: much time on Marcus Mariota, but I do think there

98
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: will be just enough for Drake London, who gets a

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: B grade from here. The Steelers have allowed a top

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver eight times. I'm just gonna talk over

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: that music if you don't mind. Uh. This is a

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: team that's second worst against the wide receiver position, allowing

103
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: the fifth most receiving yards, second most receiving touchdowns. The

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: secondary wide receivers have only had a high handful of

105
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: sixty plus yard days. I don't even know who you'd

106
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: pick out of that. So London gets to be bench

107
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the other guys in the running game. This is really long. Wow.

108
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Well that's why you gotta talk over it. Okay, Yeah,

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: in the running game. I have a C grade on

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Cordelle Patterson that he's still splitting with Algier, but it's

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: starting to shift back to Patterson. Um, he only had

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: six catches through ten weeks, but he's had five in

113
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. We mentioned this a couple of

114
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He's actually starting to get some some pass catching.

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Mind you, only one back his top fifty yards on

116
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: the volume. These guys are getting to Patterson like the

117
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen touch range. But Patterson through the air

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: should get just enough for that C grade in this one. Yeah,

119
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: it seems become a very very tricky start. Unfortunately, Washington

120
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: takes on the Giants. Brian for Washington. We've got a

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 1: situation where Antonio Gibson's dinged up into this game. Brian

122
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: Robinson has been running better. Do you feel like this

123
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: is one of the better opportunities for Brian Robinson this week? Yeah,

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: I gotta be on Brian Robinson. I was assuming Gibson

125
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't go on Friday. They were showing some signs of

126
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: optimism out of Commanders camp saying Gibson would go, but

127
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: he's on the bench for me either way, I'll give

128
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Robinson the B. Since Week eate, opposing backs are averaging

129
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: fifteen rushing yards per game against the Giants have totaled

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: six touchdowns running backs have during that same span. So

131
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: I think this really just feels And by the way,

132
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: this is the first meeting between these two teams, the

133
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: visional rivals, so we don't have any recent data to

134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: go back on, but this just feels like it's gonna

135
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: be a low scoring rockham Stock Yeah, so I like

136
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: I like Robinson here with a b um. Also, like

137
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, he gets a b as well. Last week,

138
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb became the first wide receiver to crack one

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: yards against the Giants all season, but most of that

140
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: was likely because corner of Doherty Jackson left with injury

141
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: for New York. Jackson has already been ruled out for

142
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: this game. Number two corner Fabian Moreau, Wait, is it Morrow?

143
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: And I think we're getting that one right. Fabian Morrow

144
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: questionable to play. Even if he does play, he's probably

145
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be a hundred percent McLaurin owns a massive

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent air yard shaff for Washington and has

147
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: average seven catches for ninety five yards in his career

148
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: against the Giant, so a safe B for him. Bench

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: grade for Curtis Samuel, though over his last three games,

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Samuel is totaled just three catches for thirty eight scoreless yards.

151
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: He actually has more rushing yards during that same span,

152
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: with forty three and then a rushing touchdown. He's a

153
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: better running back than he's a wide receiver. Curtis Samuel

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: is the rare Wentz dependent receiver. Yeah, you don't want

155
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: to depend on him this late in the fantasy season,

156
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: that's for sure. So he's on the bench. Logan Thomas

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: is not, though I'll give him a see opposing tight

158
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: ends are averaging more than five catches in sixty yards

159
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: per game against New York. We will take that in

160
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: the barn barn tight m waste land see for Thomas,

161
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: but Taylor Heineke on the bench again. He's been a

162
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: great game manager, but that feels like that will be

163
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: his role in this one. Over to the Giant side.

164
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Not a ton to like here. We will continue to

165
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: roll out Sae Kwon Barkley though he gets at me.

166
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: The Giants expect the return of left tackle Evan Neil,

167
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: which is huge for Barkley. He'll need it against the Commanders, though.

168
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Washington is allowing just sixty six rushing yards per game

169
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to running back since Week nine, and they have surrendered

170
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: just one score to the position during that same span.

171
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: Should be back this week to for the Commander's defense.

172
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: So safe b for Barkley. Uh Darius Slayton, Richie James,

173
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's nearly as safe as you do. Well.

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: I think Barkley's, you know, based on the last couple

175
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: of games and this this matchup, I think Barkeley's got

176
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: like forty five yard downside rushing and you know, three

177
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: catches thirty yards. He's still gonna get his twenty in

178
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: this though, so I hope you're right. Well, if you want,

179
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm liking to be for Barkley, I'm not liking Darius

180
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Slayton and Richie James. Though rich James the top two

181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers for the Giants at this point, they're on

182
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: the bench. The Commanders have only allowed two wide receiver

183
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns over their last six games. One of those scores

184
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: went to Justin Jefferson, who is the only wide receiver

185
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: to top one hundred yards against Washington during that span.

186
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: And needless to say, Darius slat and Richie James are

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: not Justin Jefferson, so bench for them, and Slayton may

188
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: not even play in the game, so that makes it

189
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: even worse. The whole passing game really on the bench.

190
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Bellinger might make his return at tight end, which

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: is intriguing, but a bad match up Washington, only allowing

192
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: around three and a half catches and three two yards

193
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: of the game to tight ends. But you might want

194
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: to pick him up if you're desperate at tight end,

195
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: but don't play him this week. And Daniel Jones, it's

196
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: all about the rushing with him, and I don't like

197
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: his rushing prospects in this one. The Commanders have a

198
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of rushing touchdown to a quarterback and two of

199
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: their last three, but they've also held Jalen Hurts under

200
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: thirty rushing yards twice, so they kind of limit that

201
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: aspect for mobile quarterback. So Jones on the bench, Dender

202
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: takes on Baltimore and I've only got a couple of

203
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: starters from the pathetic Denver offenses. You can imagine beginning

204
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: with Lottavius Murray. With Melvin Gordon gone last week, two

205
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps went to Littavius Murray last week,

206
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: the highest by any Bronco running back since ten. He

207
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: has seen his yards per carry increase in three consecutive games,

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: topping out at last week's seven point one. That's season

209
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: high for Latavius Murray. There's gonna be a much tougher

210
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: assignment though. Ravens are allowing the fourth fewest rushing yards,

211
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest rushing touchdowns, and since acquiring ro Kwan

212
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Smith Listen, which I believe is four games now for

213
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens, no back his top thirty yards. So just

214
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: a c great on Latavius Murray and the all the

215
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: other starter I've got. By the way, Jerry Judy probably

216
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: may come back, but they're talking about if he does,

217
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: he'd probably be on a pitch account if he does

218
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: come back. So he's on the bench. So's Russell Wilson

219
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: moved by the way he managed. Russell Wilson managed to

220
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: finish as quarterback thirty three last week. He got one

221
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: more towards the toilet total though, right, I think he's

222
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: got he did. He got one more week more touchdowns

223
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: on the number of toilets in his house. Jordan's love

224
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: with that Christian Watson touchdown. Beat him out. You can

225
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: do it, Russell. You could consider Courtland Sutton here. He's

226
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: been a low and fantasy producer ever since Judy got hurt.

227
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: He's haulding at least five catches and three straight games,

228
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: averaging seventy four yards in that span. The promise he

229
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: hasn't scored since Week four, which, by the way, was

230
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the only time Russell Wilson has thrown multiple touchdowns all season.

231
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: Was that one game in Week four. If Judy returns

232
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: and I say you just bench sudden outright, if Judy

233
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: misses this game, then we could throw a c grade

234
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: on him, and let's go over to the Baltimore side.

235
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson taking completely off the injury port on Friday,

236
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: which is great. He did come in with a quad

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: injury um very close to a breakout game last week.

238
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: For weeks and weeks, I've been telling you about how

239
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: poorly his box scores have been. He's underperforming what you

240
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: think he normally is. Last week he came an inch

241
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: short of a rushing touchdown. Mark Andrews dropped a touchdown pass,

242
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: so he almost filled the box score. Last week still

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: is an average game since going all the way back

244
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: to Week three, is just one eight five passing yards,

245
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: less than one passing touchdown per game, sixty four rushing yards,

246
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: and zero point one five rushing touchdowns per game. Denver

247
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: is a very tough matchup for Lamar Jackson. Arguably the

248
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: NFL's best past defense, ranking top three in passing yards,

249
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: top three and touchdowns allowed, and p F grades Denver

250
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: at number two in past defense and number seven in

251
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: pass rush. They've got star cornerback Patrick certain who's awesome,

252
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: and he would normally lock down the opponent's best receiver.

253
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: But the Ravens do not do not have a best receiver,

254
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: So I've only got a C grade on Lamar Jackson

255
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: in this game. BE grade for Mark Andrews normally is

256
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: just a lock a here, But since his return, averaging

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: just four catches for fifty yards, he has Mark Andrews

258
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: hasn't finished as a top five tight end since Week six.

259
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: That's painful in this in this landscape, that's crazy. Over

260
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: the past two weeks, tight ends as a position against

261
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: Denver averaging two catches for twenty two yards entire position.

262
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Denver's allowed one tight end touchdown in the last ten weeks.

263
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: So Andrews B grade. J K. Dobbins will not play

264
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: in this game. Kenyan Drake is irrelevant now that Gus

265
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Edwards is back. Since shipping away Bradley Chubb, the Broncos

266
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred fourteen rushing yards per game to opposing backs.

267
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: That'd be seventh most on the season. They limit Derek

268
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: They limited Derrick Henry to just fifty three yards, but

269
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: other starting backs recently Josh Jacobs Donte Foreman each top

270
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: the century mark. That's good news for Gus Edwards, who

271
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: look healthy last week, and when he plays, he gets

272
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: a bunch of work He's had double digit carries and

273
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: at least fifty two rushing yards in every game he's played,

274
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: so and I mean every game talking career here. So

275
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: we'll take We'll take Gus Edwards with with a C

276
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: grade in this game. When we come back, take a

277
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: chance on me. Maybe you're in a pinch for whatever reason, injuries,

278
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you had one of the two teams that are

279
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: round by this week because rostered several of your players.

280
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: We've got nine players upon whom you can take a

281
00:14:40,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: chance when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Take

282
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: a chance on me, Nine players not normally in your

283
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: starting line up. Many of these players available on the

284
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire right now. I believe two and a half

285
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: of my players are on the waiver wire right now.

286
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Find out who they are as we continue along. Take

287
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: a chance of me beginning at the quarterback position in

288
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: Scott Fish. Might all depend on if you how sharp

289
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: your league is or how deep or whatever. And if

290
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: it does, it does everybody still paying attention in week three? Yeah,

291
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: So my first one is going to make. My quarterback

292
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence. We just talked about him. Not only

293
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: does his opponent, the Lions allow the seventh most passing

294
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: yards and ninth most passing touchdowns. They've given up multiple

295
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: scores to four the last five quarterbacks. They allow the

296
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: most attempts, yards and scores on the ground to quarterbacks

297
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: where Lawrence is very capable. Lawrence Lawrence himself has looked

298
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: really good for most of the season's since after Week one.

299
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: Week one was a little rough, but since then he's

300
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: looked really good, especially recently with five scores in averaging

301
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: over three total yards in each of the last in

302
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: the last two games. I am dying over my decision

303
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: in Mike in a guillotine league about Christian Kirk versus

304
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Tygreek Hill. Hill's got the brutal matchup. Both tackles are missing.

305
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence comes in hot. It's the Lions. This is

306
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: it's killing me, killing me right now. The Jaguars having

307
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: freed Dan Arnold, did either. Once they do that, that

308
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: well that everybody that's gonna dry up. There's no other

309
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: yards to go around. He's definitely a better player than

310
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram will tell you that much. Now, there's no

311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Everybody's talking about it. What's the what's

312
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback? Short and sweet Derek Carr at home against

313
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Car Is thrown for multiple touchdowns and four

314
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: straight the Chargers have surrendered multiple touchdown passes and back

315
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: to back weeks. These teams met in week one, car

316
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: at two and two, and that kind of feels like

317
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: a safe floor and a suspected shootout. Mike White goes

318
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: up against Minnesota. He has started three games in his career.

319
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Two of the three were massive ormans Is throwing three

320
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns in both and topping four hundred yards in one

321
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: of them. The others start. The bad one was last

322
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: year against the best secondary in football at that time, Buffalo.

323
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: The Vikings are on the opposite end of the scale.

324
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: The Vikings are yielding secondary that ranks dead last in

325
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: passing yards allowed two per game, and every opposing quarterback

326
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: has thrown a touchdown since Minnesota blank Aaron Rodgers in

327
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: the season opener. There are positive matchups all over the

328
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: field from Mike White's receivers, particularly with rookie at Caleb

329
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Evans trying to start and finish his first ever NFL

330
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: game and finish. You had to get that in this

331
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: for legal reasons. Let's go to the running back position. Yeah,

332
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to the l a Rams uh Kiren Williams.

333
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: It's it's felt kind of gross to start a Rams

334
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: running back for the last like all season. But in

335
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: the run game, Seattle ranks bottom three and total yards

336
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: allowed give up. They've given up an RB touchdown per game,

337
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: along with four point seven two yards per carry. So

338
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: if Williams gets those ten fifteen touches, he's he's probably

339
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: likely to do decent amount with them. Even down to

340
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They continue to run it last week though,

341
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: even in a negative game script because they can't pass

342
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: the ball. They have no passing offense. So his snaps

343
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: and touches have increased weekly since he came back from injury.

344
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Um Karen has seven targets or seven catches on eight

345
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: targets in the last three games, so he's he gets

346
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: points in that area too. Very contrarian. I like it, Bryan,

347
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: you take a chance of me running back. I'm going

348
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: with the backup forty Niners running back who everyone is

349
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: assuming is Jordan's Mason, who has been active above Tyreon

350
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Davis Price, but that was before Elijah Mitchell got hurt

351
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: and they had Christian McCaffrey active. A lot of times

352
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: there's a special teams consideration in that to say is

353
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: the better special teams player, But I think it's Tyring

354
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: and Davis Price who's gonna service a backup for Christian McCaffrey,

355
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: who's been suffering from knee irritation. Uh, he's supposedly over that,

356
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: but you really can't trust McCaffrey's held at this point.

357
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, David's Prices in line for at least

358
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: ten twelve touches in this game. Not the best matchup

359
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: against Miami, who's left the second few of the yards

360
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: and yards were carried to opposing backs, but they have

361
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: ye a bit healthy catch totals over the last few weeks,

362
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's Christian McCaffrey's bread and butter. But again, you

363
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: never know what the knee and Davis Price I can

364
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: catch a few balls if needed, and you might find

365
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: yourself with a starting running back next week. You never know.

366
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: It sounds like I don't want to predict injury for McCaffrey,

367
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: but it's back to the same old wobbly kind of

368
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: injury reports are him? So t d P are you

369
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: down with TVP? No? But but you built a good

370
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: GIU Creem Hunt goes up against Houston. Over his last

371
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: three games, he's had seven touches, averaging seven touches and

372
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: thirty one yards. It's been a brutal season for him,

373
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: but Houston. It's all about the opponent here. The Texans

374
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: allowing a league high one hundred seventy four yards and

375
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: one and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs.

376
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Similar under studies like Antonio Gibson, Kenneth Gainwell, Dantrelle Hilliard

377
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: all have recently averaged seventy nine total yards. Hunt had

378
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: fifty three scoreless yards against the Texans last season, in

379
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: a game in which he actually outtouched Nick Chubb. Kareem Hunt,

380
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: take a chance for me, run, Let's go to the

381
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: receiver position. Scott, I am going back to the Jaguars.

382
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I think that offense is gonna have a good game.

383
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna be a fun game to watch.

384
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: The Jaguars Lions game. Just a high score and shootout.

385
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: UH DA Jones double digit star Christian Kirk over Tyreek Hill.

386
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know about that. We'll see. We'll find

387
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: out later. Uh Double digit targets and back to back

388
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: games before and after the bye, which I like that

389
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: they came back after the bye and game double digit

390
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: targets again. It's the third easiest matchup for wide receivers.

391
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: Who just allowed seventy five plus yards and or scored

392
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: a five different receivers in just the last two weeks,

393
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: and three of those were Giants. Somehow, I don't know

394
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: how three giants got hit those possible Yeah, Brian, you're

395
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: taking a chance for me receiver. I'm going to end

396
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: with Foster Morrow against the Chargers. Opposing tight ends are

397
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: averaging a hardy sixty two yards per game against lack.

398
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: Morrow didn't see a target when these teams met back

399
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: in Week one, but someone named Darren Waller caught four

400
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: balls for seventy nine yards, and I feel like that

401
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: Morrow can match that production. Randall Cobbs got a nice

402
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: match up against Chicago here. Chicago has been terrible at

403
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: defending the slot normally, they're awful slot cornerback Kyler Gordon.

404
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: It would be your starter here, but he's not going

405
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: to play. They've ruled him out. And the funny thing

406
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: is he was so bad. He was allowing the most

407
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: passing yards of any player in the league. So now

408
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: they got to go into the depth chart behind him

409
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: to undrafted rookie Jalen Jones. If you're on the depth

410
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: chart behind the guy allowing the most passing yards in

411
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: the NFL, that means you're probably really bad too. Meanwhile,

412
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: in the two games since Cobb has returned from injury,

413
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: he's got a touchdown in one seventy four yards in

414
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: the other game, charge what if he sat on the

415
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: sideline writing notes, Okay, don't do that. Don't do that,

416
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: learning learning what not to do by the example set

417
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: by Kyler Gordon Jacksonville Scott. You've already picked apart this

418
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: half ahead already, So what's left to talk about here?

419
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: Travis e TN? Well, I can talk about e t N.

420
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: Since Robinson was traded, e t N is averaging twenty

421
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: four touches for a D four yards and a score

422
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: in his three full healthy games. The Lion D Lion

423
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: C is closer to the middle of the pack than

424
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: you might think, but they've been gashed by larger workload

425
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: backs and shootouts, which this is likely to be. They

426
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: allow four point seven four yards per carry, so when

427
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: they do run a lot they get a decent amount.

428
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: The question is health. He's been cleared to play. Uh,

429
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: it's everything seems like he's he could have came back

430
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: in last week. I have a B grade on E.

431
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: T N. I even considered in A but I'll leave

432
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: it at a B for now, just in case of

433
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: health and in case Hasty comes in more than we think.

434
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: Hasty had more receptions last week than ETN has in

435
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: a game all season. So that's something weird because we

436
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: know we can we know he can catch you Cotton

437
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: College later in college anyway. Uh. The the only other

438
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: one we haven't talked about since Trevor Lawrence and Zay Jones,

439
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: where my take a chance on me players Christian Kirk,

440
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: who I have an A grade on which you're now

441
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: it is. It is the third easiest matchup for wide receivers.

442
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: I already mentioned like somehow Giants wide receivers were even

443
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: going off on the Lions. He's been targeted nine times

444
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: or more in three straight, averaging a seven for seventy

445
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: five and a score in those three. But mostly and scarily,

446
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the Lions have allowed the most fantasy points to the

447
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: slot by a decent amount this season where Christian Kirk plays,

448
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: So everybody's like, oh, why would you ever bench Tyreek Hill?

449
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: Never been your studs. I have any grade there? Hey,

450
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: grade there. Over on the other side, I have a

451
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: B grade on Jared Goff at one of those rare

452
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: weeks where I think you can start him. Jags have

453
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: allowed three and plus total yards and or multiple scores

454
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: in three straight game is slated to be a shootout,

455
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: one of the highest scoring on the slate with fifty

456
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: one and a half over under, and Golf himself averages

457
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: nearly two six yards and two scores in domes this year,

458
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: so so, and he's gonna be at home in a dome.

459
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Alman raw a grade just a target hog, averaging seven

460
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: and a half catches in eighty eight yards over the

461
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: last five, players with his level level of volume against

462
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: the Jags have averaged eight for ninety and most of

463
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: them scored. I mean, it's a grade for him. I

464
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: probably could have just had automatic because he's the sun God. Uh.

465
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: There actually hasn't been a lot of room for secondary

466
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: receivers against this Jags team. Uh. And also starting you

467
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: know what, let's let's just move on. Nobody's starting chart

468
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: or Raymond or anybody. All right, let's get to the

469
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: running game. The Jags are giving up under four yards

470
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: per carry and it kind of shows in the back

471
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: box scores. Only backs with fifteen plus touches have done

472
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: much of anything against the Jaguars, and lines don't have

473
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: a fifteen touch back on ross. They really don't. That's

474
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: why I have Jamal Williams with a secret and I

475
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: put Swift on the bench. The average stat line for

476
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: those fifteen plus touchers is about ninety yards with a

477
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: with a coin flip to score, but you need to

478
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: get there. Luckily, Williams has touched that top that topped

479
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: that touch mark in eight of the last nine games,

480
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: so he's the one likely to get there. Andy's scoring

481
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: like so just like them, So uh se gret on him.

482
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: You can move me to a B. DeAndre Swift, I

483
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: just can't trust still yet. I mean, this is a

484
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: great matchup against receiving backs, but he's not getting the work.

485
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: He's still splaying with Justin Jackson. He's finally completely off

486
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: the injury report, but the last time I thought that,

487
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: he still didn't do anything. So I just need to

488
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: wait to see it now. I'm with you on that.

489
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift's draft position next August. It's gonna be fast,

490
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be crazy, it's gonna be he's gonna be

491
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: like seventh round flyer. But he's gonna be sitting on

492
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: top of the depth chart. He's gonna be healthy. It's

493
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: gonna be I will say, if you're really in a pinch,

494
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: like Jags are bottom seven in most categories against receiving backs,

495
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: they're really bad in that area. And that's DeAndre Swift.

496
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: Cleveland takes on Houston, Brian there might be a storyline

497
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Yeah, quite the honor. I get

498
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: to talk about Shawn Watson. Uh, quite simply he's on

499
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the bench. No one throws against the Texans. They don't

500
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: need to. You run all over them. Wait and see

501
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: what you got with Watson Houston allowing two and thirty

502
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: yards in less than a passing touchdown per game. You

503
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: don't start Watson in seasonal formats, maybe not even super flex.

504
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: He's like a daily dart. You know people are gonna

505
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: be off him. I don't want to talk about Deshaun

506
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: Watson anymore. He's on the bench. Nick Chubb is not, though,

507
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: Uh he gets an a Texans allowing two running backs,

508
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you get at least twenty carries, and when Nick Chubb

509
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: gets twenty carries, the Browns are undefeated by the way before,

510
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: and no, when he doesn't, they're unfeeded. They don't win.

511
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: So this seems like the game where you give Nick

512
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Chubb twenty five carries backs to get at least twenty

513
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: carries against Houston have average one and sixty six rushing

514
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: yards at one point eight touchdowns. They're just awful against

515
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: the run. That's why Kareem Hunt was to take a

516
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: chance of me running back charge. I'm with you there.

517
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Over to the wide receivers, Marii Cooper gets a b.

518
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: A couple of concerns here. How well will Watson play?

519
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: How much will you need to throw? Probably not a lot.

520
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: The Texans have allowed the second fewest catches and the

521
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: fewest touchdowns to wide receivers just four years, so I

522
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: can't say bench Cooper, but keep your expectations in check. Uh. Sadly,

523
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: that's why Donovan People's Jones is on the bench. I've

524
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: been given to taking. For a second, Am I not

525
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: correct that he's got much stronger home? Yes? Yet that

526
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: is correct as well, So yeah, I might even bump

527
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Cooper down to a ce UH in a guill team league.

528
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: He's benchable, but that's really what I don't blame you

529
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: for that one, Um. You wanted bench David and Joku.

530
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: You can't have nice things with David and Joku. It

531
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: looked like he was Harson Bryant. Now he's out, yeah,

532
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: and Joku ruled out. So Harrison Brian gets a C

533
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: and a pretty good matchup. Opposing tight ends are averaging

534
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: nearly fifty yards for him against the Texans, who have

535
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: also surrendered a touchdown to the position and three of

536
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: their last four games, So solid, solid sea for Bryant

537
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: over to the Houston side. Not a lot to like here.

538
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I will give Damian Pierce a B though a couple

539
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: of really bad matchups. He's been bad as of late,

540
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: but this one is a little softer for him. The

541
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: Browns allowing the sixth most rushing yards on the third

542
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: highest yards per carried to opposing running backs. The Browns

543
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: were also also surrendering a league high one point five

544
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to the position, So don't give up

545
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: on Piers just yet. He had I want to go.

546
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: He had two brutal matchups he didn't do very well.

547
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: This is an extremely soft spot for him to have

548
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: a bounce back performance, Damian Pierce, I'm with you there.

549
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: And over to the wide receivers, Brandon Cooks, Nico Collins,

550
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll give him both. The sea only one is probably

551
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna do something. The Browns are allowing one plus yards

552
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: any touchdown per game to opposing wide receivers. If you

553
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: haven't have both on roster, I do prefer Collins over Cooks.

554
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: Over the last three weeks, Allen says out targeted Cooks

555
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: eight team looks like the new wide receiver one in Houston.

556
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: And lastly, Jordan Aikins Kyle Allen bench when we come back.

557
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: What to do with Justin Fields one of the toughest

558
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: calls of the weekend. He's healthy, he wants to beat

559
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: the Packers. Finally, No, this is gonna be an opportunity.

560
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: It looks like every bit like he's gonna play in

561
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: this game. But do you dare start Justin Fields on

562
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: the bad shoulder. We'll talk about it when we come

563
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

564
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

565
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: You can follow us on Twitter. I am at Paul Charchi,

566
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Scott fish Is at Scott Fish twenty four and Brian

567
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: Johnson at btx j oh. I thought you didn't know

568
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: You're just pausing for dramatic radio effect. I definitely was

569
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: not gagging on my own saliva, because that would never happen.

570
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: If totally weird sounds like it sounds like it does,

571
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: b t XJ. It sounds exactly like an eye chart.

572
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I love it. Green Bay takes on Chicago. I'm gonna

573
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: start on the green Bay side to build up a

574
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: little drama. What to do with Justin Fields here. We're

575
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna start with maybe my most optimistic outlook I've had

576
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers season. I love him this week this

577
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: is but actually I'm gonna start with the receivers first,

578
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: because when I tell you how much like the receivers,

579
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: I think it will make more sense about why like

580
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers so much. Let's start with Christian Watson, improbably

581
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: leads the NFL all players in touchdowns over the last

582
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: three weeks. Over the last five weeks, the Bears have

583
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: allowed the fifth most yards six most touchdowns to opposing whiteouts.

584
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Watson runs from all over the field, but will mostly

585
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: see slumping quarterback Jalen Johnson when if if he's even

586
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: on the field. UH. Once the crown jewel of the

587
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: Chicago secondary, he's now just a guy allowing a passer

588
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: rating of a hundred three and a p f F F

589
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: ranking of sixty three. So I like Christian Watson with

590
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: a B. Alan Lazard comes in with a B. Now

591
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Watson is kind of destroyed Lizard's fantasy production over the

592
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: last three games, but I like this match up a lot.

593
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: If Kendall Vildore, cornerback even goes in this game. He's

594
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: allowed a perfect passer rating over the last uh last

595
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: three weeks after our last three games, a perfect passer R.

596
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: What are you going to retires? You can't say it,

597
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: love kindle Vildor. It's such a good name, Vildor. I

598
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: like that he's given up two touchdown, just gave up

599
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns of the Jets receivers last week. Over the

600
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: last five weeks, the Bears have allowed the fifth most

601
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: yard six most touchdowns per game to opposing whiteouts. Lazard

602
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: is scored in four or five games against the Bears.

603
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I like him here A lot of B grade on

604
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: Lazard Randall Cobb was might take a chance on me

605
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So having said that about Watson, Lazard, Cob

606
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, they're all B grades. Aaron Rodgers, Hey, grade, Now,

607
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: if you want a factor in the thumb and the

608
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: possibility and I think he else you got a thumb

609
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: and something else, maybe it don't bleak or something. If

610
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: you want to factor that in again, you know the

611
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: chancity ends up, you know, getting knocked out of the

612
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: game or something, fine, then give him a B. But

613
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: let me just mention again, Bears are gonna be without

614
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: no less than three starters in their secondary, including both

615
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: safeties and potentially another cornerback. He's throwing multiple touchdowns in

616
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: five straight games against Chicago. Like all the receivers, Aaron Rodgers,

617
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Aaron Jones be grade here. He posted

618
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: his best game of the season in the earlier matchup

619
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: with Chicago, one hundred seventy yards and two scores. Since

620
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: trading away ro Kwan Smith and Robert Quinn, the Bears

621
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: are giving up one hundred fourteen rushing yards per game

622
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: and one and a half rushing touchdowns per game. Aaron

623
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Jones should lead the pack and potentially both of those,

624
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: and you can start a J. Dillon. I almost used

625
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: him as might take a chance and your running back here.

626
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: He's very touchdown dependent, but he gets most of the

627
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: work near the goal line. I just mentioned Bears give

628
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: up a ton of rushing touchdowns. They've given up the

629
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: second most rushing touchdowns in fact. So a J. Dillon

630
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: with a very promising touchdown performance here I played in

631
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: a league with him. Is he starting himself? He did

632
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: not get to draft himself. Somebody took Aaron took j

633
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: before could take a J. Dillon. If you would think

634
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: if you're in the NFL playing fantasy, you'd find a

635
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: way to draft yourself over you think so, especially last year,

636
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: the girl who drafted A J. Dillon in that league

637
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: played him against himself like that and he scored. I

638
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: think he scored two touchdowns that gave that. That's a

639
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: great story. So he was scoring on himself. Let's go

640
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: to really, oh you don't say, um, maybe turn that.

641
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what are you gonna do with Justin

642
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: fields medically cleared? He expected to start Will Matt eber

643
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: Flews protect his shoulder and withhold the designed runs that

644
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: are the only reason you're starting Justin Fields to begin with.

645
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: He's missing his only reliable receiver, Darnell Mooney. The Packers

646
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: past defense has been more vulnerable in recent weeks, but

647
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: it's still they're pretty good. This is the player to

648
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: me that's got more upside and downside than anybody on

649
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: the entire slate this weekend. You know, if he if

650
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: they give him design runs justin fields against a bad

651
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: Packers run defense and bad tackling defense, Justin Fields could

652
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: have another in a series of great games and he

653
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: goes down on that shoulder and he could go out

654
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: to you could get you could get three plays out

655
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: of fifty seven rushing yards against the Packers last week.

656
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: So that's the upside that it gives you. I've got

657
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the field b grade on Justin Fields,

658
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. I don't know the road whatever.

659
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Uh so, but you know the A the a upside

660
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: is there for Fields if he's allowed to run again.

661
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: Not to be labor this point Bills. You know when

662
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: when they had the elbow injury with Josh Allen, they

663
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: didn't give any design runs. They protected their their quarterbacks.

664
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: It's not clear how this is gonna go, and I

665
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: don't know, and you don't know. You'll have to just

666
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: weigh the risks here. I'm putting a B grade on

667
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Uh, you can start one of his receiving options.

668
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: Cold commit a very touchdown dependent fantasy producer. Unfortunately, the

669
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: Packers have allowed six tight end touchdowns in the last

670
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: five weeks. So if there's ever a time to need

671
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown dependent tight end, this is it. CE grade

672
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: on cold commit David Montgomery. I've got a C grade

673
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: on him. The game scripts very unlikely to tilt in

674
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: the favor of Chicago's running game, but I think he's

675
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: startable here for two reasons. One, I suspect the Packers

676
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: are gonna rest of Andre Campbell one more week to

677
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: get him to the bye. And then the second reason

678
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: is the Packers just allowed the sixteenth most rushing yards

679
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL, sixty three, most of

680
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: it to Josh Jacobs. So when was it Josh Jacobs? No,

681
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: it was to the Eagles. It was to the set

682
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: of Eagles runners. Yes, when the Packers aren't allowing franchise

683
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: records to be broken, they are still a matchup to

684
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: target allowing the third most rushing yards and seventh most

685
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, and we're gonna leave Chase Claypool on the bench.

686
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: He does not have more than two catches in any

687
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: game as a member of the Bears. Tennessee takes on

688
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Scott. This is an opportunity, obviously for uh, for

689
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry against a Eagles run defense that has struggled

690
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: lately but might get elephant time defensive tackle Jordan Davis back. True, true,

691
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: but also in Derrick Henry's favorite volume backs have have

692
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: done decently against the Eagles, and Henry gets lots and

693
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: lots of carries, He's going to be able to wear

694
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: them down a little bit. Uh. Listen, I still have

695
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: an eight grade on Henry, and you're not benching Henry anyway.

696
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: But eight backs had at least twelve carries on this

697
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: Eagles team. Seven of them scored. Wow, uh, you go

698
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: up one carry thirteen carries, Every single one of them

699
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: had eighty plus yards. Every every running back all all

700
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: uh nine backs that had thirteen carries. Um, no, sorry,

701
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: all seven backs that at thirteen carries, everyone had eighty

702
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: plus yards. And Derrick Henry gets basically double that, so

703
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: um Tannehill is on the bench. Eagles their second toughest

704
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: matchup for posing quarterbacks, and the game plan to beat

705
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: the two, beat or even compete with the Eagles the

706
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: last few weeks is just run the ball aton, which

707
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: is what they have. They have the perfect offense for it.

708
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: So I have Tannehill on the bench trailing Burks. I'm

709
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: actually giving a C grade to I think he continues

710
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: to build on what he's started doing the last couple

711
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: of weeks. Someone's got to get something for that offense.

712
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: He's the big play guy. He's starting to get more volume.

713
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: He has six plus targets in every game since returning.

714
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: They want him more involved. They talked about that, and

715
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the top receiver against the Eagles has seventy five plus

716
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: yards and or a score in four straight, so that

717
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: could be Burkes this week. C grade over to the

718
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: Eagle side. It's an A grade for Hurts and A J. Brown.

719
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to go over it at all.

720
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: The revenge game for Brown, and he's been chippy on

721
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: two Witter about it too. Well, No, when when the

722
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: trade happened and stuff. He was really chippy about how

723
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't pay him and all that. But let's go

724
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: to Davanta Smith. Titans are allowing ninth most receptions, sixth

725
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: most yards, and third most touchdowns to wide receivers because

726
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: you can't run on them. You have to pass. You

727
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: can't run. So in the last three games, Smith has

728
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: seen target totals of eight, nine and nine, corresponding right

729
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: with Goddard going down, so five plus catch average in

730
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: that span. The yardage has been middling seventy eight. But

731
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: with that volume and this matchup, I got a C

732
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: grade on Davontae Smith. I'm still keeping the C grade

733
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: on Miles Sanders. It's just such a good offense and

734
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: they give him so much opportunity and he's the guy

735
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: at the stripe. Outside of that, at the Times Titans

736
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: rank top five and a ton of categories including rush

737
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: yards allowed, yards per carry allowed, compoy yards allowed, touchdowns,

738
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: pretty much everything. Uh, it's certainly not a good spot.

739
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: You can't squeeze gain one for that pass catching. He

740
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: probably expects sixty seventy yards and hope first or that's

741
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: where you're probably gonna get out of Miles Sanders. So

742
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: I gave him a C right there. Yeah, I'm a

743
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: little more optimistic, but it is a brutal match. I mean,

744
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: the offense is so good that he's gonna have lots

745
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: of opportunity to get that score. Miami takes on San

746
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: Francisco and one of the most I think the most

747
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: confounding to figure out games that we're gonna have on

748
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: this whole slate. Brian, it's you've got it right now.

749
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out if I'm starting Christian Kirk

750
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: with an A grade from Scott earlier in this show,

751
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: or Tyreek Hill in one of my guillotine leagues. This

752
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: is a tricky spot. Tyreek Hill's got a brutal matchup

753
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: and Miami's missing their two starting tackles. Talk to me, alright,

754
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: We'll start with Tyreek Hill then, Um, Like you said,

755
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough matchup. On paper, the forty Niners

756
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: have allowed just one wide receiver touchdown over the last

757
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: three games, but during that same span, the slot has

758
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: been kind of a soft spot for the forty Niners.

759
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter and Greg Dortch both posted good numbers against

760
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners over their last three games. Tyreek Hill

761
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: runs definitely a third of his snaps from the slot.

762
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: They could certainly bump up those numbers if they choose to.

763
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: So I gotta be on Tarred Hill. He always carries

764
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: that that a upside, but I don't know if he

765
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: he hits it here. So just the b for Hill

766
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: and Jalen Waddle just gonna give him a sea here.

767
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: It's the same tough matchup for him. He's runs from

768
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: the slot at times too, but I think he'll be

769
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: on the outside a little more. So I like Hill

770
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: a little more than Waddle. So just the sea for Waddle.

771
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: Like the sicky he is on the bench. The forty

772
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: Niners have allowed just two tight end touchdowns all season.

773
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: That's an easy call and uh to tong go Biola

774
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: give him a ce. The forty Niners have allowed just

775
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: nine passing touchdowns all season, two over their last five games.

776
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: It's just the forty Niners have a great defense. So

777
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: you've gotta temper your expectations for the Dolphins offense. And lastly,

778
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: I have to mention Jeff Jeff Wilson and you just

779
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: mentioned charge the Dolphins without they're starting left tackle and

780
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: right tackle, and with Raheem Mostert set to make his return.

781
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: Just to see for Wilson, the forty forty Niners are

782
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: allowing a legal fifty nine rush yards per game to

783
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. San Francisco was also about the ninth

784
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: viewest receiving yards to the position. UH So even with

785
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: the with the return of return of mostart, Wilson still

786
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: see the majority of the work. But a really tough

787
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: match of matchups are just to see for him. A

788
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: tough matchup on the other side, uh for running back

789
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: starting with Christen McCaffrey. Just gonna give him a B

790
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: here even though he's over the quote unquote knee irritation.

791
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: Um we we mentioned Elijah Mitchell. He has been ruled out,

792
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: so McCaffrey should see plenty of touches, but it's a

793
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: tough matchup. Miami is allowed the second fewest yards and

794
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: yards per carried to opposing backs, but they have yielded

795
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: healthy catch totals to the very comparable Austin Ekeler and

796
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. Recently they had seven and six catches respectively.

797
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: So a B for McCaffrey, But it Tirian Tyrean I

798
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: believe it's pronounced Davis Prices might take a chance of

799
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: me running back. I think he sees ten to twelve

800
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: touches in this game. People say I'm on the Jordan

801
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: Mason side after after Garoppolo's yeah, we want to. I

802
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: want to see again what he'd be like with a

803
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: fall game, Garoppolo all looks. I think Mason was the

804
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: special had the special team. Shanahan did say that earlier

805
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: in this season that he Mason was starting over t

806
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: DP because of special teams. Well, time will, but I'm

807
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: going with t DP for now. I could be wrong

808
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: and we shall find out. I'm hopefully not wrong about

809
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Aiyuk safe b for him. He has top sixty

810
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: receiving yards or scored a touchdown in each of his

811
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: last six games. Miamis has allowed the fifth few yards

812
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 1: to wide receivers over the last five weeks to keep

813
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: it mindly at their by during that time frame, but

814
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: on the season, the Dolphins have surrendered the third most

815
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns on the red zone, and as five red

816
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: zone touchdowns ranked fourth amongst all wide receivers. So I

817
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: like him here with the b over to Deebo Samuel.

818
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: If he to play with the quads amstring, I don't

819
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna go. If he goes, I still got

820
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: him on the bench because I fear a decoy role

821
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: is cleared fifty combo yards just one since injuring his

822
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: hamstring in Week seven. Don't see a ton of upside

823
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: here for him. There is upside for George Kittle. They'll

824
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: give him a B. The Dolphins have allowed the third

825
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: most fantasy points at tight ends, and they have also

826
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: given up five plus catches and a touchdown to the

827
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: position in each of their last three games and last year.

828
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: I'll give Jimmy Garoppolois c. Miami owns the sixth highest

829
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: opponent passing play percentage in the league, and I like

830
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: the matchups enough for the primary weapons even without deebos So.

831
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy g gets a sea. He's him. I

832
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: like him. I think a little bit more than you.

833
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: All right, So, Christian Kirk or Tyrek Hill, what do you?

834
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: Why are you picking? I still think it's Terry Kill,

835
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: but just because just because he has that explosive, explosive potential,

836
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: it's a guillotine league question, guillotine league only. Really, I'm

837
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: going Hill too. Don't sit your studs. I don't know,

838
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: go with Kirk right now. I'm going Kirk. Go with

839
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: Kirk right now. We'll find out. We'll also find out

840
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: the answer to three tough questions when we come back

841
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: for our number two of Fantasy Football Weekly. Stay tuned

842
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Guillotine

843
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com, Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Good to

844
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: have you guys back our number two. We always start

845
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: this hour with tough question number one. Trevor Lawrence just

846
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: played the best game of his career rest of season.

847
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: Is he a top five, top ten, top fifteen or

848
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: worse fantasy quarterback? We'll begin with Scott Fish. I love

849
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: watching good quarterback play, and I feel like he's looked

850
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: really good recently, so I wanted this to be higher

851
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: than it was. I put top fifteen because the next

852
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: two weeks he gets really good matchups, especially this week

853
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: because he's might take a chance on me player. But

854
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: then the Fantasy playoffs, Fantasy Pros has ranked as the

855
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: worst fantasy matchups. For the worst Fantasy playoff matchups schedule

856
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks, and I checked like ten different sites. They

857
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: all said the same things, just bad and and Houston's

858
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: the other one where the teams just run, they don't

859
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: they don't have to pass um. So I feel like

860
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: he's going to have probably three down games to end

861
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: the season. I put him still in the top fifteen.

862
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: I know guys like Deshaun Watson stuff might jump in.

863
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: I think he's currently quarterback twelve or so. He's probably

864
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna drop a few spots a couple of good matchups.

865
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: I have him top fifteen, like probably QB fifteen, Okay,

866
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: QB fifteen. Trevor Lawrence right in there, coming off the

867
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: best game of his career. Rest of season, Brian is

868
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence a top five fantasy quarterback, top ten, top

869
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: fifteen or worse. I basically have nothing to add to

870
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: what Scott said. I agree with with everything, but I

871
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: will I will say I'll put him top ten if

872
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: they free Dan who averages catch. Okay, so he said

873
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: top fift that's what he said. But unlocked step sound

874
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: When I talked about John Smith catches passes pass past

875
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: this week? Does he does John nu Smith for a

876
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: brief shining moment in the first like six games, the

877
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: best three years rushing tight end of all time. Yeah,

878
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he was like tight end one,

879
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: I had my moment and then it's all fizzled. Sense.

880
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: Then you guys hit most of my most of my

881
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: talking points here. But one thing you haven't talked enough

882
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: about with Trevor Lawrence and where he's so developed is

883
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: the accuracyous him last year, and rightfully so for it's terrible.

884
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: Actually get this, Over his last three games, Trevor Lawrence

885
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: has completed seventy seven percent of his passes. That is

886
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: an astounding improvement. Do you know how many games he

887
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: had over seventy seven percent last year? None? None, none,

888
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: Some of them are just like backshort older on the

889
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: sideline to it like it's impressive and not coincidentally here

890
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars one two of those three games with this

891
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: high completion percentage. He's just a different guy. Credit him

892
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson for what they've been able to build there.

893
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: You guys have already hit on many of the other

894
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: sailing and things, but let me mention this. He's been

895
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: a top ten fantasy quarterback in half his games this year.

896
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Top ten are better. He's currently quarterback eleven, so he

897
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: doesn't have far to go to get up to quarterback ten,

898
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: which I could easily see him Doing's one thing I

899
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: didn't mention in mind is he's only faced two defenses

900
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: in the ranks of the ones he plays in the flayoffs,

901
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: he was QB twenty five and QB twenty seven those weeks. Well,

902
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: the Dallas and Jets games are bad, but the next

903
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: two are great, So that evens out. We're gonna put

904
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: top ten. Whoa okay, tough question. Number two with Mike

905
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: White at the helm is Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson

906
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, one wide receiver to flex or bench

907
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: player rest of the year, Ryan. Before I get to

908
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson among tight ends with at least seven catches,

909
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold second second in the yards per catch, Let's

910
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: give him more looks Trevor Lawrence, He'll be top five

911
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: before you even know it. But back to Garrett Wilson.

912
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: So here, Garrett Wilson splits this year with Zach Wilson.

913
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Seven games with the Zach Wilson and four without. He

914
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: averages five and a half targets with Zach Wilson. Ten

915
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: without Zach Wilson, he has he have just forty five

916
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: yards per game. Was Zach Wilson seventy seven, whether it's

917
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco or Mike White per game. Basically double the

918
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: receiver with anybody but Zach. He scored zero touchdowns in

919
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: his seven games with Zach Wilson's quarterback. He scored four

920
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his four games win Zack Wilson is out

921
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: under center, and hey, I like the schedule moving forward

922
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: at Minnesota this week. Great matchup at Buffalo next week

923
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: could get tricky with the return of T Davious White,

924
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: but the Bills aren't as nearly as tough as they

925
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: were against the past as they were last year. Then Detroit,

926
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and at Seattle. That's those are four out of

927
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: five pretty good matchups. So I got wide receiver one

928
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: restive way alright, that means wide receiver twelve. He finishes

929
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver twelve. Press. Why are you guys going so

930
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: much bolder than I than this week? Same question for you,

931
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: Scott with Mike White at the helm is Jets wide

932
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: receiver Garrett Wilson a wide receiver one wide receiver too

933
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: flex or bench for the rest of the season. See

934
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: I I hate when this happens. It happened in the

935
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: first question. Brand's like Yeah, that's a lot of what

936
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: you and the same. I had the same stuff with

937
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, with Wilson, without Wilson, but I had him

938
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: ending up right at the edge of twenty four by

939
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty four two twenty four, So I have

940
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver to it just has a lot of upside.

941
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: Wilson's disappearances are Zack Wilson related. It seems like a

942
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: few of the matchups are shootouts coming up. We just

943
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: got to hope it continues. Um, we don't. We don't

944
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: exactly know. Mike White favored Elijah Moore last year and

945
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: he are We already saw a really good play last

946
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: week and and you know more just have two catches

947
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: last Yeah he did, but he did. He looked great

948
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: with them, and who knows if he starts to get more.

949
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: They had a connection last year. And Corey Davis is

950
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: still there. There's I I just have twenty four. I

951
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: can't go to one. I have him is a wide

952
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: receiver two. Garrett Wilson rest of season right this week,

953
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: right now, he's wide receiver nine this week and against

954
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings like him there most weeks. As I looked

955
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: through the rest of the schedule, I'm asking myself, is

956
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: he going to be an A, A B. He's going

957
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: to be an A and a B the rest of

958
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: the year Going forward, Jets have the easiest remaining passing schedule,

959
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: plus matchups every week. Um White completed sixty seven percent

960
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: of his passes in his couple of games last season.

961
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: He completed seventy of his passes last week. I mean,

962
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: dude might actually be pretty good. Garrett Wilson, I I

963
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: was very close. I went through and started listing players

964
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: to see if I can get him into wide receiver one.

965
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: I can't quite do it. I think there's just too

966
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: many proven veterans who are gonna be safer. But he

967
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: was very close to wide receiver one. I've got wide

968
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: receiver two. Him and Sauce Gardner are the reason my

969
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: the Jets are my son's second favorite team. And uh,

970
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't know this yet, but we're going to the

971
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: Jets Vikings game this weekend. Oh you are. He doesn't

972
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: know it yet though, Wow, well now he might he

973
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: might when he hears that. That's a good idea. Tough

974
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: question number three. Appropriate level of concern for Dalvin Cook

975
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: speaking of the Jets Vikings none Some or a bowl

976
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: loosening level of existential dread. Scott, Yeah, I'm I'm going

977
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: with some. I think the question is is Darrisa going

978
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: to be back in a couple of games, because it

979
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: seems like that's left tackle Christian der Yes, Christian dares

980
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: that it seems like the last two weeks have been

981
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 1: a little Derris related, with Dalvin Cook's numbers going down.

982
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: Prior to that, he had scored five straight for scored

983
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: in five straight games. Six scores in those five games

984
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: went over a ten yards and three of those five. Um,

985
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say some. I think that Kocuh Kevin

986
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: O'Connell is going to be extra cautious with Darrissa and

987
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: he'll miss this week, but after that he should be

988
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: He should be okay, he should still be putting up

989
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: RB one, r B two numbers. It's it's not blowed,

990
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: It's it's just some Brian appropriate level of concern for

991
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. Is it none some or about a loosening

992
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: level of existential dread? Well, I'm blowed on him this

993
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: week based on the current state of the offensive line

994
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: and the bad matchup against the Jets, But moving forwards

995
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: got kind of alluded to this. I don't see myself

996
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: benching Cook against the Lions, the Colts, the Giants, or

997
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: especially the Packers. So he's at least the Sea in

998
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: all of those games moving forward. So I'm at some

999
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: as well, Uh we do. You may recall we asked

1000
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: this very question like week three of the season, when

1001
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: he started off very very slowly. Then he went on

1002
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: a scoring tear, effectively averaging a touchdown not tear it

1003
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: down per game for the next like six weeks um.

1004
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: And I've mentioned this several times before, say, usually do

1005
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: the Vikings matchups. His box scores are oftentimes bailed out

1006
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: by one big play, and that always worries me about

1007
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: a player. But where I think Cook is still safe

1008
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: at least after this weeks. This is a brutal matchup.

1009
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: His volume is so high, he has a lot of

1010
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: cracks at making that one big times. And you'r Dalvin Cookie,

1011
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: you still have a chance to make that one big play.

1012
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: Rest of the schedule after this is in my eyes,

1013
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: downright easy. And you know, Brian, you were saying he's

1014
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: not going to be benched, and it was I think

1015
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be an A and a B grade most

1016
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: of those weeks, so my appropriate level of concern beyond

1017
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: a very tough matchup this week is none. Speaking of

1018
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: Jets Vikings perfect lead in, let's go right to it.

1019
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: Mike White was gonna take a chance at the quarterback.

1020
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: We already sung the praises of Garrett Wilson here, but

1021
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: let me just drill down on this matchup a little

1022
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 1: bit more granularly. I already told you he was my

1023
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver nine for the this week, so that's an

1024
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: A grade. Minnesota allows the most yards to wide receivers

1025
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: two hundred per game, and Wilson runs from all over

1026
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: the field. He's got strongly positive matchups against slot cornerback

1027
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: Chandon Sullivan and rookie at Caleb Evans, who has been

1028
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: on the field for sixty three NFL passing downs. Ever,

1029
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: that's a strongly positive matchup for Garrett Wilson, A grade

1030
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: for him. I've also got a C grade on Elijah

1031
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: more Scolders scored a touchdown last week, just his first

1032
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: in the entire season, but his snap count remains the

1033
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: lowest of the Jets starting whiteouts, and he hasn't topped

1034
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: two receptions in a game since way back in Week four.

1035
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: Consider Elijah Moore a high risk dark throw against a

1036
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: struggling secondary. The sneakier play might be Corey Davis, the

1037
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: forgotten man of the Jets wideouts after losing a month

1038
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: to a knee injury. But his first game back last week,

1039
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: he had twice the snap count of Elijah Moore. Like

1040
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: all the Jets receiver, he runs from all parts of

1041
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: the field, and there's a strong matchup basically everywhere except

1042
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson and so see great on Corey Davis, be

1043
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: great on Tyler Conklin in a revenge game. Brian Conklin

1044
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: has some strong individual matchups here. Harrison Smith safety has

1045
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: allowed the third most yards in coverage among all safeties.

1046
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: Linebacker Jordan Hicks has allowed the most yards among all linebackers,

1047
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: and those are guys that traditionally pick up opposing tight ends.

1048
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: In recent weeks, Hunter Henry and Dawson Knox put a

1049
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: big games against Minnesota. I like Tyler Conklin a lot here.

1050
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: Be great. We've mentioned Conklin a few times in the past,

1051
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: saying this playoff stretch, he's very positive. Starting now, startable

1052
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: every week through Week seventeen. I'm with you. All right,

1053
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: let's go to the running backs. It looks like Michael

1054
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: Carter won't play last week. Zonovan Knight got the majority

1055
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: of the volume and it looked pretty good. But Ty

1056
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: Johnson also factored in it was and was explosive in

1057
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: his his touches. I think they're both startable here. Night

1058
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: is safer for for PPR usage. The Vikings all the

1059
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: six most receptions to opposing running backs, and Mike White

1060
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: targeted his running backs seven times last week. It was

1061
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: like nine per game. The Vikings run defense is solid

1062
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: and of critical importance. They're getting back defensive tackle Dalvin

1063
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: Tomlinson this week or they expect to. That will help

1064
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: shut down the running game here. But still, I think

1065
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: in totality you could start Zonovan Knight and tie Johnson

1066
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: with see grades. Let's go to the Viking side of

1067
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: this game. Justin Jefferson a grade here, but um and

1068
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: a lot of talking, a lot of talking about his

1069
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: potential matchup with defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Sauce

1070
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: Gardner here, who's been fantastic for us. But keep in

1071
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: mind Gardner only plays one side of the field and

1072
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson only runs twenty six percent of his plays

1073
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: on that side of the field, so that matchup is

1074
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: not even gonna be in play that often. A great

1075
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson. Let's go to some others to talk about

1076
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: t J. Hockinson. I like a lot. Five catches in

1077
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: every game since five or more in every game since

1078
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: his trade in Minnesota, and he's finished as a top

1079
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: five tight end in three of those five weeks. He's

1080
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: got the most positive matchup of any of the Vikings receivers.

1081
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: The Jets have allowed the fifth most receptions to tight ends,

1082
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: the Jets having a lot of tight end scorrel season,

1083
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: which is a little odd, but they've played exactly one

1084
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: tight end of Hockinson's caliber all year. Very soft schedule.

1085
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: Hockinson should continue to roll here. A B grade on him.

1086
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: The other parts of the passing game I've got on

1087
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: the bench. Adam Feeland looked healthier last week than he

1088
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: had all season. I thought he looked very spry, but

1089
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: I can't quite get him onto the get him to

1090
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: a starting grade against a very good secondary. He runs

1091
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: predominantly from the sauce gardener side of the field, and

1092
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: actually the other cornerbacks are also very good, Michael Carter,

1093
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: and did you read also very good here? I can't

1094
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: put a starting grade on feeling, and I've got my

1095
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: first bench grade of for Kirk Cousins of the year.

1096
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: The Jets have blanked opposing quarterbacks and five of their

1097
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: last eight and in the other three games they've given

1098
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: up one passing touchdown in those games. But no New

1099
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: York's secondary elite and again Vikings will not have Cousins,

1100
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: will not have blindside left tackle Christian Darisaw in the game,

1101
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: which is a another cause for worry. And lastly, Dalvin

1102
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: Cook um you know does he needs to get the

1103
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: big play, which we've talked about before. Jets are very

1104
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: good run defense, no back his top seventy eight yards

1105
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: since week five, and since Week five, opposing runners are

1106
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: averaging just three point seven yards per carry, just one touchdown.

1107
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: Your best hope is from some contributions through the air

1108
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: for Dalvin Cook Romandre Stevenson against the Jets a couple

1109
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: of times big receiving games in the last month. I

1110
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's just in total volume. I'm

1111
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna give Dalvin Cook a B, but man, it was

1112
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: I really want to give him a see here because

1113
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: the Jets run defense is so good. But I'm gonna

1114
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 1: give him a B. And I think there's a real chance,

1115
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, I was very down and Cook last week.

1116
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: There's a real chance that you've got other options that

1117
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: might be safer than Dalvin Cook. If you've got starting

1118
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: grades on guys like Sonoman Knight and Ty Johnson Shore,

1119
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: there might be there might be you should have started

1120
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: James Cook over Dalvin Cook. Wow, as it turned out,

1121
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: that looks like we got a new RB one in Buffalo.

1122
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: I know he's looking really good. He's gonna be a

1123
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: fascinating guy for draft purpose as well. When we come back,

1124
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: Seattle takes on the Dying l A Rams. We'll tell

1125
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: you how many touchdowns Kenneth Walker will score and five

1126
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: we're expecting five I've been told, uh, And whether or

1127
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: not Gino Smith will remain hot against the Rams when

1128
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: we come back Fantasy Football, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1129
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: Paul Charge and Scott Fish, Brian Johnson with you. I

1130
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: got a block of matchups for you, beginning with Seattle

1131
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: taking on the Rams. We have previously established Kenneth Walker

1132
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: is going to be the high scoring player of this week.

1133
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: With five touchdowns in Yeah, it's it's almost really weird

1134
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: that I gave him a B grade with the five.

1135
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't know it really doesn't. He must fumble the ball

1136
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: like or something. Uh. Walker gets the top ten Rundy

1137
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: and most metrics including rushing yards, touchdowns, yards per carrying

1138
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: more Aaron Donald. Though no Aaron Donald last week is

1139
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: a little rough for Walkers yardage wise, but he still

1140
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: still score twice. He has nine touchdowns in the last

1141
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: seven games since taking over for Penny, only failing to

1142
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: score in one game. He gets fifteen plus touches every week,

1143
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: averages twenty one touches in his fall games. That volume

1144
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: and potential is pretty good, even though a tough matchup,

1145
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: and he's been in a few of those games he's

1146
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: needed the touchdowns. So if he doesn't get him here,

1147
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: he gets down to a bet. I wonder if the

1148
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Rams don't you they just I wonder if they just

1149
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: don't have a collapse game in them and this is it? Yeah,

1150
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: it could be Gino Smith. I got an A grade

1151
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: on the Rams pass rush without Aaron Donald will help

1152
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: um loses on of that bite. Uh, it's on the

1153
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: heels of a three hundred plus yard data mahomes in

1154
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: a two hundred and sixty yard three score day to

1155
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is where the Rams defense has been recently.

1156
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Gino has multiple scores in all but two games this

1157
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: season and over three hundred total yards and three straight.

1158
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: He's been so so stable. Um Yeah, DK metcalf I

1159
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: got a B grade on seventy plus yards and or

1160
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 1: a score in seven to the last nine, four straight

1161
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: where he has been the target leader all of them. Uh.

1162
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: In all of them and by far, especially last week

1163
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: with fifteen targets, I was a little ridiculous B grade

1164
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: their C grade unlock it. He isn't too far behind

1165
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: with five plus targets in every game since the opener.

1166
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: His abilities for that big play, and he did. He

1167
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: has scored in four straight, which is as long as

1168
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: he keeps scoring great UH C grade on him. The

1169
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: volume is a little lower than d K, so I

1170
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: got him with a C grade on on that. Over

1171
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to the other side, the only the only guy in

1172
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: the passing game I with his starting grade is Tyler

1173
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Higbee with wall for it in there. Even Matt Stafford

1174
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: wasn't even throwing for two hundred yards. Um, they just

1175
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: can't move the ball, but it's the second easiest matchups

1176
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: for tight ends. And in the one John Walford game

1177
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: earlier this season, Tyler Habe eight catches seventy three yards.

1178
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: All right, I like it so and with the with

1179
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the great matchup, I got a B grade on Habee

1180
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: and Karvin Williams was about to take a chance on

1181
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: me runner. The Charges take on Las Vegas, Brian, this

1182
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: is a Chargers offense that has been, in my eyes,

1183
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: much better with Keenan Allen, who's looked downright spry at times.

1184
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: What are your expectations for Los Angeles? Yeah, So we'll

1185
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: start with Justin Herbert, who have given a to He

1186
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: was averaging nearly two yards and three touchdowns per game

1187
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: with a healthy Keenan Allen so far. This is a

1188
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: stat thanks to Paul Churchy, and that's nearly a fifty

1189
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: percent increase in fantasy points from the non Keenan games.

1190
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: So an a for Herbert, who had to seventy nine

1191
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns when these teams first met in Week

1192
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: one when Keenan Allen was healthy. So an a for

1193
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Herbert and a for Keenan Allen. Las Vegas has allowed

1194
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: at least seventy five yards to an opposing wide receiver

1195
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: in four straight games. During that same span, slot receivers

1196
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell and Christian Kirk both top seventy five yards

1197
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: and scored, so they had good games. Alan could easily

1198
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: do the same. Raiders slot corner Amik Robertson owns a

1199
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: pitiful one passer rating in his coverage, so the a

1200
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: for Keenan. Mike Williams has been ruled out. He will

1201
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: not make his return from that ankle injury, so I'll

1202
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: give Josh Palmer a see. Opposing wide receivers are averaging

1203
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: a healthy thirteen catches an hundred and sixty yards against

1204
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders, so there should be enough meat on the

1205
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: bone for both Palmer and Alan and this one, and

1206
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: probably something left over for Gerald Everett he gets a see.

1207
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: The Raiders haven't allowed a touchdown to a tight end

1208
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: since Week five, when Travis Kelsey scored four of them,

1209
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,919
Speaker 1: which is like four of the six tight ends the

1210
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed all year. But Everett did score one

1211
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: in Week one. He had fifty four yards as well,

1212
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: and with no Mike Williams, I like Everett here and

1213
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: again it's the tight end Wasteland. You're not benching Gerald Everett.

1214
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: He gets the scene. You're definitely not benching Austin Ekeler. Uh. Last,

1215
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: but certainly not least. He gets an A did not

1216
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: have a good game back in that Week one meeting,

1217
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: just seventy two scoreless combo yards on four catches, but

1218
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: he was vultured on a receiving touchdown. I don't know

1219
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: if you ever had a receiving touchdown Vulture by by

1220
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: Xander R. Vaff Hold on where's our vulture? We haven't.

1221
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: We haven't heard from the vulture weeks. He's just vultering things.

1222
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: But the Raiders allowing one combo yards at one point

1223
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: two touchdowns per game to opposing back, So you're starting

1224
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler obviously over to the other running back, the

1225
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: running back in all of Fantasy football RB one in

1226
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the world, Josh Jacobs gets an a watch that calf

1227
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: injury though, But that's what they said last weekends, and

1228
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: we all saw what happened. The Chargers are allowing on

1229
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: three rushing yards on a league worse five point six

1230
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: yards per carry and one point four touchdowns per game

1231
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. Jacobs didn't do much in the

1232
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Week one matchup, but things are way way different now.

1233
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, if he go, If he goes, and he should,

1234
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: he gets an a as is Davante Adams. The Chargers

1235
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: have allowed four wide receiver touchdowns over their last three games,

1236
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: and Adams had ten catches, one yards and a touchdown

1237
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: in the first meeting. And he has commanded double digit

1238
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: targets in four straight games. I don't see how that

1239
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: stops here. Now over to Mac Collins, might take a

1240
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: chance to me wide receiver who scored in his spiked

1241
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks. He's on the bench this week, though,

1242
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: has seen nearly thirty percent of the Raiders are yards

1243
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: since Darren Waller and hunter Renfroll went on i R.

1244
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: But it's been that's exactly what I thought. That was

1245
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: a lot of build up and then he's I'm just

1246
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,479
Speaker 1: trying to get my my peacock in for my Mac

1247
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Collins call last week. I'm still waiting on that. There

1248
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: are there's my bird. Uh. It's been rare for two

1249
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers to go off against the Chargers this year.

1250
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: My money is on Adams. If a wide receiver is

1251
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna go off for the Raiders in this one. And lastly,

1252
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: fostermorrow Was might take a chance on me receiver at

1253
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: tight end, of course, and Derek Carr might take a

1254
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: chance on the quarterback. There should be some points sward

1255
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: in this final matchup of this segment is Kansas City

1256
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh, Mahomes and Kelsey are

1257
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: obvious as let me just mention this. On paper, the

1258
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Bengals look like a pretty good past defense. But get this,

1259
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: they have found their way to play against seven quarterbacks

1260
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: who are or were backups this year, and it's gonna

1261
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 1: be eight when Jacobe Brisette rides pied and this week

1262
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna have faced eight quarterbacks who are or we're backups.

1263
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: So I think this is kind of a paper tiger,

1264
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not obviously you wouldn't benching Mahomes or Kelsey anyway,

1265
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: but it also makes you feel a little bit better

1266
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: about Juju Smith Schuster. In his return from concussion last week,

1267
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: he only played thirty eight percent of the snaps, and

1268
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I get him a B grade because I didn't think

1269
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: he'd only play thirty eight percent of the snaps because

1270
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: he was back. Presumably he's gonna get the full workload here,

1271
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: so I'm back to putting a B grade on Juju.

1272
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: In the three games prior to his King cushion, he

1273
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: was averaging a hundred eight yards and he had scored

1274
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: twice in those three games. Cincinnati's secondary has surrendered at

1275
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: least seventy five yards to a receiver in four of

1276
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: the last five. Their best cornerback Chadobe E. Wusiers on

1277
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: I Are that means rookie backup Cam Taylor Britt is

1278
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: your starting cornerback and he gives up an eighty percent

1279
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: completion rate and he passer rating of in his coverage.

1280
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Juju is a nice start here, and I'd even consider

1281
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: a little dart throw on Marquez Valdez scantling with McCole

1282
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Hardenman gonna miss another game. MBS has posted Fantasy relevant

1283
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: games here and two of Hardman's three missed games, He's

1284
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: gonna draw a lot of Eli Apple and that is

1285
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: a decent matchup. Apples a gambler and MBS is a

1286
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: guy who can make big plays, so we'll give him

1287
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: a high risk, high reward C grade for MVNS. And lastly,

1288
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco in rare air for Chiefs running backs. Over

1289
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: his last three games, he's averaging eighteen touches for total yards.

1290
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: We haven't seen this since Kareem Hunts rookie year, Davian

1291
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Williams playoff run he has something like that. I mean,

1292
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's been a long time. Jamal Charles, I

1293
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: don't know. The Bengals have struggled against opposing running backs lately,

1294
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred forty one total yards and one

1295
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: point three touchdowns per game over their last four games,

1296
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: which would be eighth most and third most league wide, respectively.

1297
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: So solid B grade and Isaiah Pachaco. Let's go to Cincinnati.

1298
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna give out a grades to Joe Burrow, Tee

1299
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Higgins and Jamaar Chase. We're gonna go right for us.

1300
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a very good run defense and a very

1301
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,799
Speaker 1: shaky past defense, and the game script should tilled heavily

1302
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: to the air. Kansas City sees the third most passes,

1303
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: thirty seven per game. That's the kind of volume that

1304
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: makes Joe Burrow an automatic start, particularly with Chase back.

1305
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: In Chase's two games against the Chiefs last year, he

1306
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: totaled three hundred twelve yards that's total domination. Chase and

1307
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: te Higgins run from the outside, where they both have

1308
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: strongly positive matchups against rookie cornerbacks Joshua Williams allows posing

1309
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: passer rating of one, and Trent McDuffie has only seen

1310
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: one fifty eight NFL coverage snaps in his entire career.

1311
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, these are really primo matchups for Higgins and Chase.

1312
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: So with Chase, of course, you're you're running some extra risk, right,

1313
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: maybe r injury, maybe reduced snap count, but still the

1314
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: upside is so high. I think you've got to have

1315
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 1: the A grade, and I'm starting Chase in my leagues.

1316
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd gets a C grade here. His fantasy production

1317
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: was double in the games that Chase played in. He's

1318
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: got a neutral matchup against slack cornerback Lagarius Snead. But

1319
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: we've seen the Chiefs give up some big slot receiver

1320
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: games recently, including Christian Kirk's explosion a couple of weeks ago.

1321
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: So we'll try Tyler Boyd even though he has been disappointing,

1322
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: because Chase is back. And then lastly, let's talk about

1323
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the running backs for the Bengals. Here, Joe Mixon's concussion status.

1324
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: As we're recording this, it's twelve hour. You know, we

1325
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know yet, So we'll try to play this a

1326
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: couple of different ways. No matter what, it's a tough

1327
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: matchup for Mixing or some j p Ryan um Kansas

1328
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: City's run defense sees the fifth fewest rushing attempts, they

1329
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: allow the tenth fewest rushing yards. Two weeks ago, Austin

1330
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Ekeler petered out at eighty three yards on four yards

1331
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: per carry. And Austin Ekeler is really good. The only

1332
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: two backs that have scored touchdowns against the Chiefs. You

1333
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: have to go way back to week five. And what's more,

1334
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have become very good at stopping past catching

1335
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: backs as well. So I can't say he's gonna help

1336
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: you there either. If Mixing comes back, I'm only to

1337
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: put a C grade on him. But I'm also worried

1338
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: that p Ryan's looks so good. He's learned a place

1339
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: at the table. He's earned some extra carries here, so

1340
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame you if you've benched Mixing, but I'm

1341
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep the C grade on him out of respect

1342
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: for the fact that normally he gets the vast majority

1343
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: of the work in the volume here. Now, if Mixon

1344
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: does not go, then I would consider p Ryan with

1345
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: perhaps a C grade in his place, because he won't

1346
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: have to share with Mixon. You get all the volume,

1347
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: and I'd actually, in that scenario'd probably feel a little

1348
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: better about p. Rhan with mixing because I know he's

1349
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: going to get almost all the work. There you go.

1350
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: When we come back premature speculation. There are still players

1351
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: for you to pick up in advance of the rest

1352
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: of your league. Find out who they are when we

1353
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly,

1354
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Paul Charge and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

1355
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: This is a segment we like to call free mature speculation.

1356
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: In three players that you'll want to pick up this

1357
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: week that other people be trying to pick up next week,

1358
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: but they're already on your team. Scott Fish, you go first.

1359
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: It's finally time. It's finally time. Jamison Williams is rostered.

1360
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: He is practicing golf. Says he looks fast. He gets

1361
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: a great matchup this week if he goes, but you

1362
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: probably don't want to start with even if he goes,

1363
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: But then he gets the Vikings next week. That's an

1364
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: equally decent matchup for Jamison Williams. It could turn out that,

1365
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, they need another pass catcher in that offense.

1366
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: It could turn out that that deep, speed, elusive, slippery guy,

1367
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: uh could. I'm not saying he's gonna be a league winner.

1368
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying get him on your roster just in case.

1369
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: All right, Jamison Williams the first of three premature speculation players. Brian,

1370
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: Who's next, I'll go future starting Packers quarterback Jordan's Love. Um.

1371
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: You might think this is a super flex player. I

1372
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: think he's been scooped up in most super flexed leagues.

1373
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: But I still think he's worth and add if you

1374
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: need to back up quarter back in one quarterback leagues.

1375
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: As soon as the Packers are out of the playoffs,

1376
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 1: and that could be as soon as this weekend, Rogers

1377
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: will gladly take a seat. He's not going to demand

1378
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: to play. He's already no and uh yeah, we'll see

1379
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: what he already said something about as long as we're so.

1380
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: I think even if they if they lose to the Bears,

1381
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: they're definitely out. I think even if they win and

1382
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: other teams win, they might still be eliminated. There aren't

1383
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: buy in Week fourteen. Not ideal, but there's some decent

1384
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: matchups for the Packers starting in week fifteen. They got

1385
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: the Rams, who was a broken team at Miami. Not great,

1386
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: but there should be. They should be chasing points there.

1387
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Then they have the Vikings at home in week seventeen.

1388
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: As of right now, the Vikings are a secondary to target.

1389
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: And you know it was only for like a quarter,

1390
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: but love in Christian Watson showed some chemistry and uh,

1391
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm a believer in Jordan's love. He just hasn't that

1392
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: any chances obviously, so we're worth the bench spot if

1393
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: you got them. I'm really excited about Corey Davis, Jets receiver.

1394
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I gave him a starting grade this week against Minnesota.

1395
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,560
Speaker 1: But I'd like to remind you Jets have the easiest

1396
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,839
Speaker 1: passing schedule rest of season. And listen with Corey Davis

1397
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: was doing let's go wait, go back to the Joe

1398
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: Flacco era at the beginning of the season. Listen to

1399
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: what we were getting out of Corey Davis in those

1400
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: early games. Week one seventy seven yards, Week two eight

1401
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: three yards in a touchdown. Week three was not good

1402
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: week four seventy four yards in a touchdown, non Zack

1403
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Wilson games. Corey Davis shows up, baby. Corey Davis went

1404
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: fifth overall in draft. That's amazing. Cooper Cup wins. Corey

1405
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:48,919
Speaker 1: Davis played two games with Mike White last year. One. Wow,

1406
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: that's great stats. Thank you for pulling that up on

1407
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 1: quick demand. Very impressive work on your part. You know,

1408
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: would also be impressive when you break down Indianapolis and Dallas. Oh,

1409
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: let's do that. Uh, let's start with the passing game

1410
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Let's just start here. Actually, Dallas leads

1411
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: the league in quarterback pressures sacks. They've allowed just twelve

1412
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in twelve games, which is one of the fewest, uh,

1413
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: and the fewest passing yards. They've only allowed eleven wide

1414
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns this year, and only two wide receivers over

1415
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. So naturally, Matt Ryan's on the bench,

1416
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell's on the bench, who had his role kind

1417
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of usurped from Gelanni Woods by Gilanni Woods last week.

1418
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: So excited about the future for Johnny Woods. Yeah, yeah,

1419
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 1: We've mentioned him a bunch of times on this show,

1420
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: but he's probably out with his shoulder injury this week.

1421
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Granson was playing over him before that, and Kyle

1422
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: Granson was sick last week, so that's why. But I

1423
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: have them on the bench. Jopson's gonna play. Yeah, it's switched,

1424
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: but again, terrible matchup for him, So I have that

1425
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: on the bench. Is the biggest guy on the field

1426
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 1: when the huddle, bigger than him. Him and Ali Cox

1427
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: could hold hands and reach either side of the the

1428
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: end zone. I swear like the two pilots. Michael Pittman

1429
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: is like six five to fifty. He looks like a

1430
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: little kid. It's like the Raiders with fast guys. They

1431
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: have a type. They love wingspans down there in Indianapolis. Apparently,

1432
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman is the only guy in the receiving game

1433
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I've a starting grade on I have a C grade

1434
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: on him. Uh, he's gonna get that. He's got to

1435
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: get there on volume. It's just a tough matchup, but

1436
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: he gets six plus. He has six plus catches in

1437
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: three straight games. Really a bunch of games this year

1438
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: he has had six plus catches routinely see seven to

1439
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: ten targets. He leads the team in red zone targets.

1440
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: He should find his way there. One way or another.

1441
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: He just gets the volume four it C grade on

1442
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman over to Jonathan Taylor. I'm still giving him

1443
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: an A grade, but it's not an automatic A grade.

1444
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: It's still in A grade though. Dallas does rank fifth

1445
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: against running backs, but a lot of that is due

1446
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,799
Speaker 1: to the fact they've only allowed five running back scores.

1447
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 1: That's both rushing and receiving, only five running back scores

1448
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: and almost nothing in the past game. They shut down

1449
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: the path. But Jonathan Taylor's a runner. He's a runner.

1450
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty one rush attempts for a hundred and

1451
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: six yards in a score since Jeff Saturday took over um.

1452
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys almost similarly allow a hundred five rushing

1453
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: yards per game, so it feels like that's about where

1454
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: where it's going to be. They allow over four and

1455
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry, so on Jonathan Taylor's volume,

1456
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: he should get that get there because both backs who

1457
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: had twenty plus rush attempts against the Cowboys had over

1458
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards or more, so that's where

1459
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: we're looking at with Taylor, plus they won't be able

1460
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: to pass very well, so Taylor's got to do it

1461
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 1: over to the Cowboys side. Dak Prescott gets a B

1462
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: grade two fifty plus yards and multiple scores in four

1463
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: straight but it's not the best matchup. No quarterbacks have

1464
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: top two hundred yards on the Colts uh and six

1465
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been under two hundred yards, even car Hurtz

1466
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 1: and Heineke. However, in the last five weeks had multiple scores.

1467
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: They had yard dige totals of two eight, two hundred

1468
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: and seventy six three in eight. You can expect Prescott

1469
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: to be in that for two range. A couple scores,

1470
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: that's B level. He can teeter on a level if

1471
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: he needs to. But um, they did hold down Mac

1472
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Jones and Kenny Pickett. But I don't compare those two

1473
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: two Dak Prescott Ceedee Lamb. I got a B grade

1474
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: on tough matchup for wide receivers, Colts allowing the sixth

1475
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: fewest receptions, third fewest yards, second fewest touchdowns, with just

1476
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: six wide receiver touchdowns in twelve games. That's one every

1477
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: other game. That's not a good that's not good odds.

1478
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: So naturally, the other wide receivers like Michael Galup, who's

1479
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: been sick all week, is on the bench. He's had

1480
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: to he hasn't gone through practice. He's been doing it

1481
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: via zoom or whatever. So he hasn't even done practice

1482
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: this week. So I'm not gonna trust him in a

1483
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: tough matchup. But I have a B grade on Lamb,

1484
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: who's getting five plus catches in all but one game

1485
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: since the opener, averaging ten targets per game over the

1486
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: last The volume is gonna get him there. He's gonna

1487
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: get there. Dalton Schultz A grade. I love him this week.

1488
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: A grade. The Colts do allow are Colts rank eleventh

1489
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: worst against tight ends. They allowed the third highest catch rate,

1490
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: So if you throw to the tight end, they're catching it.

1491
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: It's like it's like near um. He has three touchdowns

1492
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: in the last three games. In that span, this is

1493
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the span since you know, the last three games with

1494
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,839
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott. He also seen eight red zone targets

1495
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: in those three games. That's a lot of red zone

1496
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: looks for a tight end. Uh. He's averaging nearly five

1497
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: catches per games since Dak returned and east tight end

1498
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: five in that since Dak returned. So A grade on

1499
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,759
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, Zeki Elliott, and Tony Pollard. Actually had Pollard

1500
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: with the B grade here and Zeke with the C grade.

1501
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: I have it a little flip this week. Most people

1502
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: would say that's the order it should be in most weeks. Okay,

1503
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: well yeah, just on the eyeball test, right, Zeke has

1504
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: converted five of his eight attempts inside the five. He

1505
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: gets all most of the red zone work, um, and

1506
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: and that's what it's been there. They've been splitting touches

1507
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: the last two weeks since he came back. It did

1508
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: teeter a little more to Zeke last week and he

1509
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: got the two. He's had three scores in the last

1510
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: three weeks. Keeps you alive that way. But the Colts

1511
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,759
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most receptions and eighth most receiving yards

1512
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: to backs. It's a really good spot for you know,

1513
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: an explosive pass catching back. I wonder who that could be.

1514
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: And they're both getting fifteen fifteen touches each of the

1515
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I'm going to go with the more

1516
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: explosive back the in the receiving game. Pollard used to

1517
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: be sorry, Zeke, you know in his early years, Oh,

1518
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 1: he had like seventy plus catches his second year, first years,

1519
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: first or second year. Absolutely, Yeah, staves feel like a

1520
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: long time ago. Now Brian new Orleans takes on Tampa Bay.

1521
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has been a straight up disaster and he's

1522
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: got another tricky matchup right here. Yeah, these teams first

1523
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 1: met in Week two, so we'll reference that game for sure,

1524
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: but starting with Kamara. He did not play in that

1525
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: that first meeting. But not a lot to be excited

1526
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: about here, borderline bench. But I don't not You're not

1527
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna bench. I'm not gonna should have benched him for

1528
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,480
Speaker 1: like most of the games this year. Hindsight is twenty,

1529
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: I still can't. I still can't give Kamara bench grade here.

1530
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm give him a c UH mentioned vulture. That is

1531
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: the crow eating that somebody should do. Considering Alvin Kamara

1532
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: has scored in one game this year. He scored in

1533
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: more games than Johnson. It's true, it's true, but I'm

1534
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: starting with the c still uh. Four Saints running backs

1535
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: combined for one and three scoreless combo yards in the

1536
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 1: Week two game against Tampa Bay. Sadly, that's probably Kamara's

1537
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: ceiling in this one. So a C and PPR. But hey,

1538
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: if you're playing standards still, I can't fault you for

1539
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: benching him there, but I'll roll with the sea over

1540
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: to Crystal Lavegan and give him a B. He had

1541
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 1: a modest five catches for eighty yards when these teams

1542
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: first met in Week two. Way back in those days,

1543
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: someone called Michael Thomas was the Saints wide receiver one.

1544
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: He had six catches for sixty five yards and a touchdown.

1545
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully those numbers transfer over to a LAVA against

1546
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks, who, over their last three games have allowed

1547
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: two opposing wide receivers a top ninety yards while surrending

1548
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 1: through while surrendering three touchdowns to the position. So a

1549
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: B for a lave. But I've got all the secondary

1550
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: receivers on the bench, whether it's Jarvis Landry, Rashid Shahid, Marquez, Callaway,

1551
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 1: Trey Kwan Smith, they're all the same person basically, And

1552
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: un Joe worn, his cellphone might still be in the pads.

1553
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Remember the kids out there are probably like, what is

1554
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: this guy talking about? Oh yeah, I remember that for sure.

1555
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 1: Horn He's awesome. He's good. He's really, really, really good.

1556
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Joe soon one of the best corners in the NFL.

1557
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 1: Interdivisional rival. But you can't trust the secondary wide receiver

1558
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: on the Saints right now, especially with Andy Dalton at quarterback,

1559
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: so they're all on the bench as our Taysom Hill

1560
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: and Juwan Johnson. Johnson is just way too touchdown dependent

1561
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 1: in games he doesn't score. He's averaging less than four

1562
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: PPR points. And as for Taysom Hill, we all know

1563
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: the deal here. He's he's like a game of Russian Roulette.

1564
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: He's actually like the opposite of Russian Roulette. Where there's

1565
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: five bullets, there's one one chaper. So you do not

1566
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: want to play that game with Taysom Hill. He is

1567
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,480
Speaker 1: on the bench, and obviously Andy Dalton is as well.

1568
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: Over to the buck side, Shod White, I gotta see

1569
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,560
Speaker 1: on him, even if Leonard Fournette returns. It's a c

1570
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: either way. I'm not too concerned with four Nette. He's

1571
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: on the bench, but it's a tough matchup for White.

1572
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: The Saints are top twelve in the most yards per

1573
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: carry allowed to running backs, but they have surrendered the

1574
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: seventh fewest receptions and the fourth fewest receiving yards the position.

1575
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: The Saints also having allowed a running back touchdown in

1576
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: three straight games. Tampa's offensive line also took another big hit,

1577
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about more in a minute. So just

1578
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: a safe sea for White here. I wanted to go be,

1579
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 1: but I cannot. I will put give a B to

1580
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, though he has at least six receptions in

1581
01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: eight straight and has scored in consecutive games. Coincide dentally,

1582
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans slot corner Chris Harris has allowed six receptions

1583
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: and back to back weeks. So I like Godwin and

1584
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: this one who has also posted pretty good numbers across

1585
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: his career against the Saints. But Mike Evans has not

1586
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: done that. He hasn't surpassed seventy receiving yards against the

1587
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: Saints since ten has a long time ago. Marsha Latimer

1588
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 1: battle is real, No, I didn't. Evans has scored twice

1589
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: across his last seven games against New Orleans, and like

1590
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: you said, charge he has been He was fighting, like

1591
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: quite literally fighting Marsha On Lattimore and most of those games.

1592
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: And Lattimore might make his return from an abdomen injury.

1593
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: He's been out for quite some time. So I'll give

1594
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: Evans a see if Lattimore plays, but a B if

1595
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,839
Speaker 1: Lattimore is out that that's a that's a big difference

1596
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: maker for both players on both sides of the ball.

1597
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: So monitor marsh On Lattimore's status going into this game.

1598
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: Either way. I have Julio Jones on the bench when healthy,

1599
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: which hasn't been a lot. He still has in top

1600
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: three catches in his six games played, so he's on

1601
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: the bench and not a great matchup, as are the

1602
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay tight ends New Orleans as surrender just one

1603
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: tight end touchdown all season. Are you done with your things?

1604
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: I gotta talk about Tom Brady, but I'm in no

1605
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: rush talk about I was just gonna say I missed

1606
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: what like for NET practice the last two weeks? What

1607
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: was your great on for NET? And Rashad White with

1608
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 1: as for NET? Bench either way and wait to see

1609
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: maybe bump him up to be if you can drop

1610
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Leonard for NET. Yeah, we talked about the act to

1611
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: talk about it two weeks ago. He had no reason

1612
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 1: to have the backup running back on the league's worst

1613
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: rushing attack. And you know who else is borderline droppable?

1614
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who I have a bench grade on him

1615
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: right now. But if Marshall and Lattimore sits. I'll bump

1616
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: Brady up to a sea. But we mentioned the hit

1617
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: to the offensive line. No, Tristan Worth, you have three

1618
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: backups on that offensive line, He's gonna have no time back.

1619
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I think we're talking backups to the backups at this

1620
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: point for at least two or week. Surprised about it.

1621
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 1: They could use you. Uh, it's not a good matchup

1622
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: on paper at all. Even with a good offensive line.

1623
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans has surrendered just four passing touchdowns over their

1624
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: last five games, and during that same span, only one

1625
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: quarterback has been able to top two hundred passing yards.

1626
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,799
Speaker 1: When these teams met back in week Week two, Brady

1627
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: managed just one passing yards and a touchdown, which was

1628
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: arguably his worst game of the season. His offensive line

1629
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: was in better shape then. We just said it's not

1630
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:37,759
Speaker 1: in great shape now. So you can explore other options

1631
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 1: other than Tom Brady this week. I would roll out

1632
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: any of our take a chance on me quarterbacks. I

1633
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: think I think I haven't ranked twenty eight or twenty nine.

1634
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 1: I think I've changed my mind. I think you should

1635
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: start Kirk alright, you're you're back to that. You should

1636
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: If I listen to you too, you get my co

1637
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: host you gave Christian Kirk and a you gave tyrk

1638
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:57,719
Speaker 1: hill Aby. Am I supposed to trust my co host

1639
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:03,679

1641
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 1: all great teams, Kirk, seems like the safer play with upside,

1642
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 1: and we're still still there's six teams left, just so

1643
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: relatively safe here. You still got your ff W coin right,

1644
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: I do uh steam it in the final moments here,

1645
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Murray, Bye week, Patriots, Broncos, Bucks, what do you say?

1646
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: I just drop them out right right now? Do it

1647
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 1: in one quarterback league? Yeah? You can find something else.

1648
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 1: I can ye and go. I'm not Tom Brady. Thanks
