WEBVTT - White Out 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.080 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio, 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.880 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.160 Now along with the guys from leagues dot Com. Here's 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:25.799 your host. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charge 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:31.040 and my co host today are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, Hey, Charge, 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.040 glad to be back. I'm glad you're still alive. Yes, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.760 a week. Yeah, it's been a week upside upset. I'm 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.919 literally an upside down week. No, No, the car did 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:41.559 not go upside down. But I need to find a 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.320 new car now. You do, and you and I are 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.239 very different. I love new car shop. I can do 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.760 it once a year. I would do it once a year, man, 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.800 I that would be to me. That would be I 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.200 just I love it test driving and then finding all 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.760 the information and you know, yeah, comparing all you do 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.240 you do, like researching things. That's that's the part of 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.120 you do you do? I do? I do? I just uh, 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.679 I hate dealing with all that kind of that amount 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.039 of money and stress and all that stuff. It is. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.880 It certainly can be stressful. It's a big decision, right financially, 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.760 usually the biggest decision you'll make every ten years or whatever. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.920 And however you go through cars, what is what is 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.399 going on here? I know we'll get weekly. We will 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.240 have all the usual stuff that we get to over 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.720 the course of the show, including premature speculation, three tough questions, 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.480 take a chance on me. We'll break down all of 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.840 the games Fantasy Football Weekly style, with letter grades on 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.399 every player. We begin with Pittsburgh taking on Atlanta. Scott 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.680 nag Harris, I believe off the injury report on front. Yeah, 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:42.960 he's gonna go. He's gonna go. So on this one. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.640 Everybody who picked up Jalen Warren and Benny Sneller in 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.520 the week is like, darn it, Well, people had Jalen 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.840 Warren on roster season things. Yeah, absolutely, that's absolutely about 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.960 He's the best running back on the teams, produced about 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.360 six Fantasy points this year, better than Nausea here well 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.600 on the Steelers side. On the Steelers side, everyone's pretty 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.440 much gonna get C grades for me. It's just such 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.200 a great match up against the Falcons. But the Steeler's 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.799 offense has been pretty anemic. So let's start with pick 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.840 Kenny pick it. He only has one touchdown in the 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.720 last four games and no multiple passing touchdown games. But 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.360 the eyeball test is he looks pretty decently. He was 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.560 making some throws. I thought the exact same thing last week, 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.160 Like I I saw him looking poison making better. That 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.760 was me And with Trevor Lawrence last year and earlier 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.760 this year, he didn't look good last year Trevor Lawrence, 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.720 and this season we're like, oh, we can see the 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.600 eyeball test change. Well, we'll talk more about Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.360 I saw that, would pick it. Last week he looked 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.440 really a lot better. Uh. He gets you some points 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.560 on the ground too, and has a few scores that way. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.600 Atlanta has also allowed a couple of scores on the ground. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.720 Seven of the seven of eleven quarterbacks against the Falcons 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.000 had multiple scores. On paper, it's the thirtisiest matchup for 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.040 fantasy quarterbacks, but they've held the last three under hundred 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.440 sixty passing yard. I still think I would lean towards 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.480 the other side of how Atlanta has played most of 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.800 the year, and I'm giving Picket a c but they're 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.080 are many bye weeks. You might not consider it but 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:14.239 uh Deante Johnson and George Pickens are also both getting 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.680 cs because those targets are hyper focused to those two 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.560 guys with five to six targets per game. Since the 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.960 departure of Maple Tron, h Johnson sees slightly more volume. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.960 Picker the bigger plays. Uh Deante Johnson hasn't even scored 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.440 this year, but it's a It's a decent spot in 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.400 a decent matchup, and again bottom ten against basically every position, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.240 so I got se grades on both of them. UH 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.360 Falcons also second worst against the slot this year, so 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.360 that's good for Deonte Johnson and possibly Pat Firenmouth, who 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.800 runs out of the first det Johnson touchdown of the year. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.120 I can't do it. I can't get that bold. If 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.280 pick It only throws one, it's probably more likely Pickens, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.520 but he might get to two here. Pat Firemouth consistently 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.960 finding three to four catches thirty to forty yard days, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.960 but he's semi exploded for seventy five plus yards four times. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.720 His floor is basically a low end top twelve tight end. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.440 In a good matchup like this, maybe he starts to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:11.960 crack the top of that. But I do have a 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.760 c grade on him Nagers. Sounds like he's gonna go. Um, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.520 All reports are he's gonna go. And the Falcons are 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.440 bottom ten against runners, especially recently. The lead back the 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.119 last three games hundred thirty in a score, HU score, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.400 Hudd score. Yeah, we'll take that. But it's Naga Harris 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.159 behind this whole line, so expect eighty two and maybe 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.440 a score that sounds more so. Again, I think Harris 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.360 has played much better lately. Yeah, yeah, so I guess 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.920 been hurt. Yes, let's look at the numbers. All right, 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.360 let's let's go over to the Falcons. I got Marriotta 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.960 on the bench Sedons week four. The Steels have allowed 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.839 multiple scores to a QB just three times, and that 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.960 was Burrow Hurts and Alan Marriotta is nowhere near them. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.520 He's not getting as much in the rushing as you'd 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.480 want him to as he was early in the season. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.160 He's a the top two passing yards three times, multiple 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.320 scores only three times. He's just not getting done. Too 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.920 much time on Marcus Mariota, but I do think there 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.840 will be just enough for Drake London, who gets a 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.599 B grade from here. The Steelers have allowed a top 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.200 twelve wide receiver eight times. I'm just gonna talk over 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.760 that music if you don't mind. Uh. This is a 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.080 team that's second worst against the wide receiver position, allowing 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.760 the fifth most receiving yards, second most receiving touchdowns. The 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.240 secondary wide receivers have only had a high handful of 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.159 sixty plus yard days. I don't even know who you'd 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.440 pick out of that. So London gets to be bench 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:38.599 the other guys in the running game. This is really long. Wow. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.440 Well that's why you gotta talk over it. Okay, Yeah, 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.000 in the running game. I have a C grade on 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.400 Cordelle Patterson that he's still splitting with Algier, but it's 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.480 starting to shift back to Patterson. Um, he only had 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.680 six catches through ten weeks, but he's had five in 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.440 the last two weeks. We mentioned this a couple of 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.400 weeks ago. He's actually starting to get some some pass catching. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.479 Mind you, only one back his top fifty yards on 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.000 the volume. These guys are getting to Patterson like the 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.800 twelve to fifteen touch range. But Patterson through the air 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.560 should get just enough for that C grade in this one. Yeah, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.640 it seems become a very very tricky start. Unfortunately, Washington 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.440 takes on the Giants. Brian for Washington. We've got a 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.559 situation where Antonio Gibson's dinged up into this game. Brian 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.040 Robinson has been running better. Do you feel like this 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.960 is one of the better opportunities for Brian Robinson this week? Yeah, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.719 I gotta be on Brian Robinson. I was assuming Gibson 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.680 wouldn't go on Friday. They were showing some signs of 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.599 optimism out of Commanders camp saying Gibson would go, but 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.040 he's on the bench for me either way, I'll give 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.360 Robinson the B. Since Week eate, opposing backs are averaging 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.320 fifteen rushing yards per game against the Giants have totaled 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.320 six touchdowns running backs have during that same span. So 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.320 I think this really just feels And by the way, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.480 this is the first meeting between these two teams, the 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.120 visional rivals, so we don't have any recent data to 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:57.760 go back on, but this just feels like it's gonna 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:03.160 be a low scoring rockham Stock Yeah, so I like 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.120 I like Robinson here with a b um. Also, like 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.480 Terry McLaurin, he gets a b as well. Last week, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.480 Ceedee Lamb became the first wide receiver to crack one 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.720 yards against the Giants all season, but most of that 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.120 was likely because corner of Doherty Jackson left with injury 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.080 for New York. Jackson has already been ruled out for 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:27.679 this game. Number two corner Fabian Moreau, Wait, is it Morrow? 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.280 And I think we're getting that one right. Fabian Morrow 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.040 questionable to play. Even if he does play, he's probably 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.120 not gonna be a hundred percent McLaurin owns a massive 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.320 thirty seven percent air yard shaff for Washington and has 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.440 average seven catches for ninety five yards in his career 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.280 against the Giant, so a safe B for him. Bench 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.200 grade for Curtis Samuel, though over his last three games, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.600 Samuel is totaled just three catches for thirty eight scoreless yards. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.440 He actually has more rushing yards during that same span, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.160 with forty three and then a rushing touchdown. He's a 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.800 better running back than he's a wide receiver. Curtis Samuel 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.440 is the rare Wentz dependent receiver. Yeah, you don't want 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.880 to depend on him this late in the fantasy season, 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.240 that's for sure. So he's on the bench. Logan Thomas 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.000 is not, though I'll give him a see opposing tight 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.080 ends are averaging more than five catches in sixty yards 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.920 per game against New York. We will take that in 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:27.320 the barn barn tight m waste land see for Thomas, 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.720 but Taylor Heineke on the bench again. He's been a 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.960 great game manager, but that feels like that will be 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.560 his role in this one. Over to the Giant side. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.760 Not a ton to like here. We will continue to 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.920 roll out Sae Kwon Barkley though he gets at me. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.360 The Giants expect the return of left tackle Evan Neil, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.920 which is huge for Barkley. He'll need it against the Commanders, though. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.280 Washington is allowing just sixty six rushing yards per game 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.000 to running back since Week nine, and they have surrendered 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.360 just one score to the position during that same span. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.920 Should be back this week to for the Commander's defense. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.840 So safe b for Barkley. Uh Darius Slayton, Richie James, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.280 I don't think it's nearly as safe as you do. Well. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.439 I think Barkley's, you know, based on the last couple 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.560 of games and this this matchup, I think Barkeley's got 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.839 like forty five yard downside rushing and you know, three 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.000 catches thirty yards. He's still gonna get his twenty in 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:24.640 this though, so I hope you're right. Well, if you want, 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.800 I'm liking to be for Barkley, I'm not liking Darius 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.520 Slayton and Richie James. Though rich James the top two 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.600 wide receivers for the Giants at this point, they're on 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.280 the bench. The Commanders have only allowed two wide receiver 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.240 touchdowns over their last six games. One of those scores 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.240 went to Justin Jefferson, who is the only wide receiver 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.040 to top one hundred yards against Washington during that span. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.960 And needless to say, Darius slat and Richie James are 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.600 not Justin Jefferson, so bench for them, and Slayton may 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.840 not even play in the game, so that makes it 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.520 even worse. The whole passing game really on the bench. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.680 Daniel Bellinger might make his return at tight end, which 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.920 is intriguing, but a bad match up Washington, only allowing 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.800 around three and a half catches and three two yards 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.880 of the game to tight ends. But you might want 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.440 to pick him up if you're desperate at tight end, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.839 but don't play him this week. And Daniel Jones, it's 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.400 all about the rushing with him, and I don't like 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.079 his rushing prospects in this one. The Commanders have a 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.160 lot of rushing touchdown to a quarterback and two of 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.160 their last three, but they've also held Jalen Hurts under 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.520 thirty rushing yards twice, so they kind of limit that 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.160 aspect for mobile quarterback. So Jones on the bench, Dender 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.200 takes on Baltimore and I've only got a couple of 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.200 starters from the pathetic Denver offenses. You can imagine beginning 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.839 with Lottavius Murray. With Melvin Gordon gone last week, two 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.920 percent of the snaps went to Littavius Murray last week, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:45.400 the highest by any Bronco running back since ten. He 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.600 has seen his yards per carry increase in three consecutive games, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.200 topping out at last week's seven point one. That's season 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.880 high for Latavius Murray. There's gonna be a much tougher 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.360 assignment though. Ravens are allowing the fourth fewest rushing yards, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.480 the sixth fewest rushing touchdowns, and since acquiring ro Kwan 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.520 Smith Listen, which I believe is four games now for 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.840 the Ravens, no back his top thirty yards. So just 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.480 a c great on Latavius Murray and the all the 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.800 other starter I've got. By the way, Jerry Judy probably 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.800 may come back, but they're talking about if he does, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.880 he'd probably be on a pitch account if he does 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.560 come back. So he's on the bench. So's Russell Wilson 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.240 moved by the way he managed. Russell Wilson managed to 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.440 finish as quarterback thirty three last week. He got one 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.640 more towards the toilet total though, right, I think he's 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.880 got he did. He got one more week more touchdowns 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.079 on the number of toilets in his house. Jordan's love 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.439 with that Christian Watson touchdown. Beat him out. You can 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.240 do it, Russell. You could consider Courtland Sutton here. He's 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.880 been a low and fantasy producer ever since Judy got hurt. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.600 He's haulding at least five catches and three straight games, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.640 averaging seventy four yards in that span. The promise he 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.120 hasn't scored since Week four, which, by the way, was 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.800 the only time Russell Wilson has thrown multiple touchdowns all season. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.000 Was that one game in Week four. If Judy returns 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.520 and I say you just bench sudden outright, if Judy 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.400 misses this game, then we could throw a c grade 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.400 on him, and let's go over to the Baltimore side. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.360 Lamar Jackson taking completely off the injury port on Friday, 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:09.920 which is great. He did come in with a quad 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.280 injury um very close to a breakout game last week. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:14.960 For weeks and weeks, I've been telling you about how 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.719 poorly his box scores have been. He's underperforming what you 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.640 think he normally is. Last week he came an inch 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.360 short of a rushing touchdown. Mark Andrews dropped a touchdown pass, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.960 so he almost filled the box score. Last week still 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.160 is an average game since going all the way back 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.720 to Week three, is just one eight five passing yards, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.000 less than one passing touchdown per game, sixty four rushing yards, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:45.120 and zero point one five rushing touchdowns per game. Denver 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.839 is a very tough matchup for Lamar Jackson. Arguably the 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.200 NFL's best past defense, ranking top three in passing yards, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.520 top three and touchdowns allowed, and p F grades Denver 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.560 at number two in past defense and number seven in 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.600 pass rush. They've got star cornerback Patrick certain who's awesome, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.000 and he would normally lock down the opponent's best receiver. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.800 But the Ravens do not do not have a best receiver, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.079 So I've only got a C grade on Lamar Jackson 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.800 in this game. BE grade for Mark Andrews normally is 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.840 just a lock a here, But since his return, averaging 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.080 just four catches for fifty yards, he has Mark Andrews 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:25.720 hasn't finished as a top five tight end since Week six. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.120 That's painful in this in this landscape, that's crazy. Over 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.720 the past two weeks, tight ends as a position against 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:40.440 Denver averaging two catches for twenty two yards entire position. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.040 Denver's allowed one tight end touchdown in the last ten weeks. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.960 So Andrews B grade. J K. Dobbins will not play 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.320 in this game. Kenyan Drake is irrelevant now that Gus 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.840 Edwards is back. Since shipping away Bradley Chubb, the Broncos 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.760 allowing one hundred fourteen rushing yards per game to opposing backs. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.040 That'd be seventh most on the season. They limit Derek 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.440 They limited Derrick Henry to just fifty three yards, but 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.280 other starting backs recently Josh Jacobs Donte Foreman each top 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.120 the century mark. That's good news for Gus Edwards, who 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.200 look healthy last week, and when he plays, he gets 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.199 a bunch of work He's had double digit carries and 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.880 at least fifty two rushing yards in every game he's played, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.800 so and I mean every game talking career here. So 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.960 we'll take We'll take Gus Edwards with with a C 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.400 grade in this game. When we come back, take a 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.040 chance on me. Maybe you're in a pinch for whatever reason, injuries, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.560 Maybe you had one of the two teams that are 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.680 round by this week because rostered several of your players. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.080 We've got nine players upon whom you can take a 0:14:40.160 --> 0:15:12.600 chance when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Take 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.000 a chance on me, Nine players not normally in your 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.160 starting line up. Many of these players available on the 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.160 waiver wire right now. I believe two and a half 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.800 of my players are on the waiver wire right now. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.560 Find out who they are as we continue along. Take 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.320 a chance of me beginning at the quarterback position in 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.920 Scott Fish. Might all depend on if you how sharp 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.960 your league is or how deep or whatever. And if 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.760 it does, it does everybody still paying attention in week three? Yeah, 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.080 So my first one is going to make. My quarterback 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.240 is Trevor Lawrence. We just talked about him. Not only 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.120 does his opponent, the Lions allow the seventh most passing 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.200 yards and ninth most passing touchdowns. They've given up multiple 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.800 scores to four the last five quarterbacks. They allow the 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.600 most attempts, yards and scores on the ground to quarterbacks 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.320 where Lawrence is very capable. Lawrence Lawrence himself has looked 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.760 really good for most of the season's since after Week one. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.640 Week one was a little rough, but since then he's 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.080 looked really good, especially recently with five scores in averaging 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.520 over three total yards in each of the last in 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.480 the last two games. I am dying over my decision 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.120 in Mike in a guillotine league about Christian Kirk versus 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.960 Tygreek Hill. Hill's got the brutal matchup. Both tackles are missing. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.840 Trevor Lawrence comes in hot. It's the Lions. This is 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.040 it's killing me, killing me right now. The Jaguars having 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.800 freed Dan Arnold, did either. Once they do that, that 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.480 well that everybody that's gonna dry up. There's no other 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.760 yards to go around. He's definitely a better player than 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.680 Evan Ingram will tell you that much. Now, there's no 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.000 doubt about that. Everybody's talking about it. What's the what's 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.040 your quarterback? Short and sweet Derek Carr at home against 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.560 the Chargers. Car Is thrown for multiple touchdowns and four 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.680 straight the Chargers have surrendered multiple touchdown passes and back 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.520 to back weeks. These teams met in week one, car 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.160 at two and two, and that kind of feels like 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.800 a safe floor and a suspected shootout. Mike White goes 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.880 up against Minnesota. He has started three games in his career. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.040 Two of the three were massive ormans Is throwing three 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.360 touchdowns in both and topping four hundred yards in one 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.960 of them. The others start. The bad one was last 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:10.200 year against the best secondary in football at that time, Buffalo. 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.840 The Vikings are on the opposite end of the scale. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.000 The Vikings are yielding secondary that ranks dead last in 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.440 passing yards allowed two per game, and every opposing quarterback 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.560 has thrown a touchdown since Minnesota blank Aaron Rodgers in 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.919 the season opener. There are positive matchups all over the 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.840 field from Mike White's receivers, particularly with rookie at Caleb 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.160 Evans trying to start and finish his first ever NFL 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.000 game and finish. You had to get that in this 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.200 for legal reasons. Let's go to the running back position. Yeah, 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.440 I'm going to the l a Rams uh Kiren Williams. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.000 It's it's felt kind of gross to start a Rams 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.879 running back for the last like all season. But in 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.480 the run game, Seattle ranks bottom three and total yards 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.320 allowed give up. They've given up an RB touchdown per game, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.840 along with four point seven two yards per carry. So 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.679 if Williams gets those ten fifteen touches, he's he's probably 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.919 likely to do decent amount with them. Even down to 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.440 the Chiefs. They continue to run it last week though, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.720 even in a negative game script because they can't pass 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.120 the ball. They have no passing offense. So his snaps 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.320 and touches have increased weekly since he came back from injury. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.080 Um Karen has seven targets or seven catches on eight 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.000 targets in the last three games, so he's he gets 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.399 points in that area too. Very contrarian. I like it, Bryan, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.720 you take a chance of me running back. I'm going 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.760 with the backup forty Niners running back who everyone is 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.200 assuming is Jordan's Mason, who has been active above Tyreon 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.120 Davis Price, but that was before Elijah Mitchell got hurt 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.600 and they had Christian McCaffrey active. A lot of times 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.040 there's a special teams consideration in that to say is 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.840 the better special teams player, But I think it's Tyring 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.280 and Davis Price who's gonna service a backup for Christian McCaffrey, 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:57.040 who's been suffering from knee irritation. Uh, he's supposedly over that, 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.880 but you really can't trust McCaffrey's held at this point. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.920 I think, Uh, David's Prices in line for at least 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.800 ten twelve touches in this game. Not the best matchup 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.320 against Miami, who's left the second few of the yards 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.280 and yards were carried to opposing backs, but they have 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.879 ye a bit healthy catch totals over the last few weeks, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.040 and that's Christian McCaffrey's bread and butter. But again, you 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.680 never know what the knee and Davis Price I can 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.240 catch a few balls if needed, and you might find 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.680 yourself with a starting running back next week. You never know. 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.199 It sounds like I don't want to predict injury for McCaffrey, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.879 but it's back to the same old wobbly kind of 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.199 injury reports are him? So t d P are you 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.119 down with TVP? No? But but you built a good 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.960 GIU Creem Hunt goes up against Houston. Over his last 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.960 three games, he's had seven touches, averaging seven touches and 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.720 thirty one yards. It's been a brutal season for him, 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.080 but Houston. It's all about the opponent here. The Texans 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.119 allowing a league high one hundred seventy four yards and 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.200 one and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.840 Similar under studies like Antonio Gibson, Kenneth Gainwell, Dantrelle Hilliard 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:07.600 all have recently averaged seventy nine total yards. Hunt had 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.879 fifty three scoreless yards against the Texans last season, in 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.800 a game in which he actually outtouched Nick Chubb. Kareem Hunt, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.440 take a chance for me, run, Let's go to the 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.640 receiver position. Scott, I am going back to the Jaguars. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.280 I think that offense is gonna have a good game. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.720 I think that that's gonna be a fun game to watch. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.320 The Jaguars Lions game. Just a high score and shootout. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.239 UH DA Jones double digit star Christian Kirk over Tyreek Hill. 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.080 I'm I don't know about that. We'll see. We'll find 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.000 out later. Uh Double digit targets and back to back 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.320 games before and after the bye, which I like that 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.560 they came back after the bye and game double digit 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.760 targets again. It's the third easiest matchup for wide receivers. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.440 Who just allowed seventy five plus yards and or scored 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.600 a five different receivers in just the last two weeks, 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.520 and three of those were Giants. Somehow, I don't know 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:58.040 how three giants got hit those possible Yeah, Brian, you're 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.199 taking a chance for me receiver. I'm going to end 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:04.280 with Foster Morrow against the Chargers. Opposing tight ends are 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.480 averaging a hardy sixty two yards per game against lack. 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.680 Morrow didn't see a target when these teams met back 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:14.920 in Week one, but someone named Darren Waller caught four 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.280 balls for seventy nine yards, and I feel like that 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.160
