00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Charchion.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a super Bowl edition. It's

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: the last chance we're gonna have to break down games

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: for like six months. That's crazy more. Yeah, well yeah,

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: about six months, seven months, something like that. My co

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: host today, Brian Johnson, been all a while, Welcome back.

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: Hey, charge, how's it going. Yeah, it's uh, it feels

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: like a super Bowl that should have been played weeks ago, right, Yeah.

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: I think it's because the offseason content is just over

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: the years. It's just like the season never ends. In

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: the past, there's there's been an end, but there's no end. Yeah,

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: crazy football nowadays.

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: So it's uh, they got it all figured out.

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: They do. Let's put a bow on this this season

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: for sure, though.

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I'll be honest, it's not the super Bowl

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: I wanted, it's not the teams I wanted. And it's

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: not to say that I have a problem with either teams.

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't, but I just think the league is healthy

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: year when Patrick Mahomes is not in every Super Bowl,

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: when there's a little more drama involved, and I was

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: rooting for a I was rooting for the Lions to

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: get in, but no such luck. We've got We've got

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: a rematch from our twenty nineteen Super Bowl. Jimmy Garoppolo

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: will not be overthrowing anybody in this game. Let's break

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: it down Fantasy Football Weekly Style, Brian. The Chiefs come

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: into this game with an offense that had sputtered through

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: most of November and December, and really in totality, the

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: offense hasn't even looked great in the in the postseason,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: but the defense has been great. So let's talk through

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs side of us.

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: Let's start there, all right, per usual, I like to

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: start with the running backs, and we'll obviously get into

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey later, but that just feels like a game

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: where we're focused on the running backs more than the

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: passing game.

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be three that tip my hand on this.

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, especially on the forty nine ers side. But

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: we're talking the Chiefs now, of course, so I'm gonna

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: start with a B grade for Isaiah Pachecko has played

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: over seventy percent of the snaps in the playoffs, averaging

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: twenty three touches. We love that, Yep, that's great, but

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: only ninety four combo yards so far. Pachecko is averaging

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: the season in the playoffs, but they've been tough matchups,

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: and most recently with the Bills and the Ravens. Of course,

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers, believe it or not, could be

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: a bit of a reprieve for Pachecko since Week fifteen,

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: San Francisco allowing the sixth most rushing yards per game,

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: the fourth highest explosive run rate, the third highest yards

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: after contact per attempt. So it's a pretty nice matchup

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 3: for Pacheco. And in the NFC Championship game against the

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: forty nine ers Jamior Gibbs David Montgomery, they combined for

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty eight rushing and two touchdowns on

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: the ground. Yeah, also combined for five catches for what

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: it's worth, and it's certainly worth something when you're only

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: comparing two teams. On two teams, I think there's back

61
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: to the divisional round.

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, go ahead, there's I think there's an opportunity here

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: for Pachecko through the air he can catch, and I

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: think they may have to find some creative ways to

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands. And I can see

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: a scenario where Pachecko gets three, four or five receptions

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: in this game. Maybe Clyde Edwards a Laird, yeah, you know,

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: knocks in one as well.

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: Certainly worth mentioning. Jerick McKinnon was rumored to maybe come

70
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: back with the Super Bowl, but that seems very very

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: unlikely at this point. There'll be no Jared McKinnon. Just

72
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: furthermore on Pochecko. Why it's a great matchup going back

73
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: to the Green Bay game in the Divisional round against

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers Aaron Jones and Emmanuel Wilson for

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: those who recall him being the backup one hundred and

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: twenty four rushing yards on twenty two carries. So a

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: great matchup for Pachecko. He gets a B for me,

78
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: and like I just said, McKinnon on the bench or

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: he's he's not gonna play, most likely, But I got

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: Clyde Edwards letter on the bench just playing twenty five

81
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps, averaging just under five touches per game.

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he's like a DFS start if you want

83
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: to throw one to be contrarian or like in any

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: time touchdown type just dart throw.

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what his rushing prop is. We're not

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: going to go into props too much because this is

88
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: still a fantasy show, not a gambling show. So h

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: on the bench Travis Kelsey, though not on the bench

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: locker there, right, Yeah, a grade for Kelsey. It's crazy

91
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: to think we were all calling him washed at the

92
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: end of the preseason, right charge, like pack it.

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Out at the end of the preseason or the regular the.

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: Regular season, Okay, that's how long. That's how long the season.

95
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't say washed. We just all felt I

96
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: think we felt like he was he was, you know,

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of his career. I don't think

98
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: anybody was saying like Travis Kelson needs to retire.

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: We didn't say he needs to be need to retire.

100
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: But it was bad. But the playoffs have been great,

101
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: starting with Miami ten targets, seven catches, seventy one yards

102
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: against Buffalo, five catches seventy five yards, two touchdowns against

103
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: Baltimore two weeks ago. Eleven targets, eleven catches, one hundred

104
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: and sixteen in a touchdown. He also averaged five yards

105
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: per carrying that game against the Ravens. Okay, yeah, I've

106
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: got rush, so we'll throw that in there. And I'm

107
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 3: not going to mention any of the off the field

108
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 3: stuff with with Travis Kelsey.

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but can if you're so inclined to believe that

110
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the fix is in on this whole thing, take the

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Travis kelce over everything, right, I mean, you know, then

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you think that there's gonna be an emphasis,

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: he'll he'll We'll see what eight Travis Kelcey commercials on Sunday.

114
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: So you know the likelihood of you know, there are

115
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna be some if you believe that the whole thing's

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: for ragged or whatever, then Kelsey sitting down a gigantic game.

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna want that to tie into their their promotional plans.

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: He just seems like the most unfadable. I'm speaking from

119
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: a DFS perspective right now. When it becomes you know,

120
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: like when when you when you're fading a player, it's

121
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 3: like a highly owned player. And seems that's what Christian

122
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: McCaffrey's a Travis Kelsey's. He seems like the most unfadable

123
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: player to me though, to gain like you cannot fade

124
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 3: Kelsey in this game. Sam Laporta nine catches for ninety

125
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: seven yards against the forty nine ers and NFC Championship

126
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: game on thirteen targets, and the porta was not one

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: hundred percent. I mean, I don't know. We don't have

128
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: to get into Travis Kelty two more. The the angle

129
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: is if you're rolling over unders on minimal yardage or

130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: a cheap DFS option is Noah Gray?

131
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

132
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: And a great a great matchup, I think, George, I

133
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: heard you had some interesting things to say.

134
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: About I do.

135
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: Let me give you let me give you some mill

136
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: on the spot.

137
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I've got it all right. Here might know a

138
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: great data for you right here. Of the final five

139
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season, San Francisco ranked dead last

140
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: in tight end yards allowed.

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: How about that?

142
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we think of this great defense you mentioned

143
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: one game ago, Detroit's tight ends piled up one hundred

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: and five combined yards. And here's the really weird part

145
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: for Noah Gray and why he could have a be

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: a factor in this game. San Francisco weirdly gives up,

147
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: over gives up, gives up big games to backup tight ends.

148
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: And if you want to go back, going all the

149
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: way back to week eleven, here are guys that put

150
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: up at least double digit yards. Payne, Durham, will Disley,

151
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Colby Parkinson, Elijah Higgins, Jeff Swain, Charlie Kohler, Bryce and

152
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: Hopkins in the playoffs, a hobbled Luke m musk Grave

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: and then last week Anthony Firkster nearly went double digits.

154
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: He got eight yards. Noah Gray's betting line is like

155
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: eleven yards. That feels extremely comfortable here. He runs eighteen

156
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: routes per game. He averages ten yards per catch anytime touchdown,

157
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: by the way, plus nine to fifty. Again not a

158
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: betting show, but yeah, I like I like Noah Grady

159
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: get'll be a small factor in this game that you know,

160
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: not somebody you necessarily want to have to count on

161
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: from a fantasy standpoint. But I think he I think

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: he gets a little something done here.

163
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: I love it. I was like, you got a nugget, right,

164
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: you had Like that was like a twelve piece of nugget.

165
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: Maybe wants some the Polynesian saw some chicken. I like it. Yeah, yeah,

166
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: great matchup for both tight ends. We had no great

167
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: sneaky play prop wise DFS wise. Not so sneaky as

168
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice, who has broke out in the playoffs on

169
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: everyone's radar. Give him a B grade, but popped up

170
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,239
Speaker 3: on the injury report on Thursday with injured ankles emphasis

171
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: on the l ye not just one ankle. But hopefully

172
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: it wasn't like a stepping out of the shower wrong

173
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: type incident. I don't know, but he should be good

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: to go on Sunday, hopefully, So a B for a

175
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: right for Rashi Rice. In the playoffs, the forty nine

176
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: ers have utilized too high safety coverage on sixty plus

177
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: percent of their snaps since Week twelve. Against too high

178
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: Rice has lived the team in target share percentage. So

179
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: Rice has been on the heater. He gotta love him

180
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: in this one. And really the only other wide receiver

181
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: I like for the Chiefs is I don't want to

182
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 3: say like, but he's playable as Marcus valduzs Scantlet and

183
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: you know, really people were calling for his head in

184
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: the in the middle of the in the season, but

185
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: he's shown up in the playoffs and again against on

186
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: this too high coverage that the forty nine ers run

187
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: the majority of the time, MVS leads the Chiefs in

188
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: air yard share percentage and at his price in daily

189
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: and whatever is over under is is anytime touchdown odds

190
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: are gonna be in your favor. He just needs that

191
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: one play to pay off. It's not gonna cost you

192
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: a lot in any format. So I'll give MBS the

193
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: TA com grade if you must. He gets the very

194
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: soft seakay for me, and.

195
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: That's It feels like, if there's ever a spot for

196
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez scant Link to really disappoint, it's a super Bowl.

197
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, all the history of the epic drops that

198
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: he's had throughout his career. It just feels like it's

199
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the perfect stage for Marquez Valdez Scantling to just disappoint

200
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: on the grandest possible scale.

201
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Let's ride the positive narrative though the last two games,

202
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: the last in their playoff games. Of course, he's been

203
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: clutched and you're like, I cannot believe MDS is showing up,

204
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,479
Speaker 3: So why not? Why not the complete the epic turnaround?

205
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: All right?

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: For MVS. I want to put this out there just

207
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: really quick. I said MBS was the last wide receiver

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: I quote unquote liked for the Chiefs. But if you're

209
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: the Daily the Daily Player playing Showdown, Richie James is option.

210
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: They're cheap. If you we're gonna get into the forty

211
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: nine er side of things with you. I know, on offense,

212
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: you have to like the Chiefs defense. When between the

213
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: two defenses in this game, Richie James is intriguing where

214
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: he runs enough routes, sees enough targets three to four

215
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: per game, but he also returns kicks. He plays special

216
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: teams for the for the Chiefs. So if you're gonna

217
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: roll the show Down and you like the Chiefs defense,

218
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: you might just well throw a Richie James out there.

219
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: Because he returns to the kick for a touchdown, whether

220
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: it be a punt return or a kick return, you

221
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: double up on the points with the Chiefs defense. So

222
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna throw it out there, and I don't

223
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: want to get into Patrick Mahomes a whole lot. Just

224
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: one thing to say. He has last thrown for more

225
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: than two touchdowns in Week seven. Patrick Mahomes.

226
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing, isn't it Wow.

227
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember twelve games ago.

228
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember he's top.

229
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: Two hundred and eighty yards passing only twice. That's all

230
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: I say. He used to go to eighty and three

231
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: every game. It's uh, so the ceiling is capped for Mahomes.

232
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: I like the Chiefs to win. I'm gonna I'm gonna

233
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 3: end there and LEGITD.

234
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: But what's the letter great on Mahars.

235
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: I'll give him a bee just because he's not an a.

236
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 3: He's you know, he hasn't put up a eight numbers

237
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: basically all year fantasy wise, which is somewhat explainable, but uh,

238
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: you can't put it past them. But just from a

239
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: on paper, he's a bet.

240
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I can recall at the end of the Fantasy Football Weekly,

241
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, like week sixteen, Week seventeen, we were talking

242
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: about how many quarterbacks had had a three touchdown game

243
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: since Patrick Mahomes had had a three touchdown game, and

244
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: we were into like the thirties and forties of three

245
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: touchdown games before Patrick Mahomes. That one need stells An

246
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: had one, which is amazing. Let's go to the San

247
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Francisco side. Lots of rushing coming. We already alluded to

248
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: this Brian Christian McCaffrey sitting up potentially a very big

249
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: game here. The way to beat the Chiefs is on

250
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: the ground, as reverse exemplified by Todd Munkins moronic scheme

251
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: in that last game, only giving his runner six carries

252
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: and then he scored ten points. And if you go

253
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: back to the wild card round, Rahie Morris, lead back

254
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, got eight carries and Miami scored seven points.

255
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: So maybe you want to score more than seven or

256
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: ten points, so you gotta run the ball, and you

257
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: got Christian McCaffrey. Then I just think in totality, if

258
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: you're Kyle Shanahan trying to avoid going zero to two

259
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: in Super Bowls, aren't you gonna put your more faith

260
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: into Christian McCaffrey than you are brock Purty.

261
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like so much faith into CMC where I would

262
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: almost let him play quarterback over Rocks, right, And I

263
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: don't direct snap. That was either a handoff to McCaffrey

264
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: or a direct snap to McCaffrey. And yeah, like.

265
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I just I just see a very And it's

266
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: not we don't hate on brock Purty here. It's that,

267
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: isn't it. You're and you're gonna hear me say some

268
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: reasonably nice things about him in a minute. But the

269
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: game plan here goes through Christian McCaffrey. In Chief losses,

270
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: teams average twenty three carries and almost five full yards

271
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: per carry. So again, I just I feel like, you know,

272
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: if you're going to try to put the Chiefs on

273
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: a loss, you gotta give somebody plenty of carries, and

274
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Christian McCaffrey.

275
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: You know.

276
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna fool round with any of

277
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: the backup running backs and any meaningful numbers here and

278
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: the five times that an opposing runners hit at least

279
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: nineteen carries, the Chiefs only won two of those five games.

280
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: They lost three Niners finished number one in run blocking

281
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus, Chiefs were dead last and run

282
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: stuff win rate. And CMC probably helps you through the

283
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: air too. Nine of the ten past Chiefs opponents have

284
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: had a runner top twenty receiving yards. So McCaffrey's going

285
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: to be a huge part of this game in my opinion,

286
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: and an absolute eight grade, which you would have guessed anyway. Now,

287
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: if I like McCaffrey that much, that's and I keep

288
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: telling you running game, running game, running game. That means

289
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I've just got C grades on Brock Purty, Deebo Samuel

290
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: George Kittle. For those guys, I think there's a reason

291
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: for concern. Let's uh, let's start with the party side.

292
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City's pass defense is awesome, Brian. They've allowed over

293
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: the past twelve games. Here's the touchdowns passing touchdowns Kansas

294
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: City is allowed over the last twelve games. One one

295
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: one zero one zero one one three one zero one.

296
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: Sounds like I'm just talking binary. No, that's passing touchdowns

297
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: allowed over the past twelve games. It's just you get

298
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: zero one almost every game. The average passing yards against

299
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City over the past eleven games just one hundred

300
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: ninety two yards.

301
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: That's it.

302
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: They rank third best in yards per completion, so you

303
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: don't even get long passes completed, you get it's just

304
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: short stuff. And Kansas City's number two in pressures and

305
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: pressure rate, So that suggests that Perty's not gonna be

306
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: able to set up long downfield passages. You're gonna have

307
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball quickly. So I don't like,

308
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Perty's gonna get a ton done here.

309
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a total raveling where Perty's gonna

310
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: cost his team the game, but I don't love that

311
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: now where he could be helpful as a runner. Kansas

312
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: City struggled against mobile quarterbacks lately, allowing five straight quarterbacks

313
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: to run for twenty five or more yards, and the

314
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs ranked dead last in quarterback rushing attempts against them

315
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and twenty fourth in quarterback rushing yards allowed twenty per game.

316
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: So I think Purdy is is gonna do a little

317
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: bit with his feet, not enough you can count on that.

318
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: And we've only got the C grade on party. Hero

319
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: is sitting on maybe like a one touchdown game. Let's

320
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: go to Brandon Ay. Yeah yeah, go ahead.

321
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: Real quick to Purdy on the ground. Of course, Perty

322
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: is ne Lamar Jackson. No one is a Lamar Jackson.

323
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: But there were multiple times in the AFC Championship game

324
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: where it was evident Lamar Jackson had like fifteen yards

325
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: of green space in front of him if he didn't

326
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: take advantage of it. So if they were yielding that

327
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: kind of real estate to Lamar Jackson, just think of

328
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: the the uh they're gonna be dropping back there. They're

329
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: gonna be begging Perdy to run in this game. So

330
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: I love that angle. I'm in full agreement there. I

331
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: love the over on perties anything pertty rushing rushing yardsal

332
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: factor on the ground for.

333
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: Sure, He's got better wheels than I think people realize.

334
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Brandon Ayuk's got a fascinating matchup against Lagerius Snead,

335
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: who might be the hottest cornerback in football. Sneed's gonna

336
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: follow him around the field almost certainly is gonna be

337
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: is going to be getting shadow coverage on Ayuk. Snead's

338
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: average game allowed in his coverage is two and a

339
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: half catches for twenty eight yards. That's it. And if

340
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: they try to break Ayuk away from Snead by putting

341
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Ayuk in the slot and he does run from the slot,

342
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: s then he's gonna face first rounder Trent McDuffie, who

343
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: also gives up just twenty eight yards in his coverage.

344
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: So you don't have you don't really have anywhere to

345
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: bring Ayuk to put him on a big game. There's

346
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: nowhere to find easy coverage against Ayuk. The Chiefs finished

347
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: the regular season third best in touchdowns allowed to wide receivers,

348
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: fourth best in yards allowed to receivers, and in the playoffs,

349
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: listen to these subdued numbers that the Chiefs gave have

350
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: given up to good receivers like Brandon Ayuck Tyreek Hill

351
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: sixty two yards, that's it, Jalen Wattle thirty one yards.

352
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Even worse then, they've placed played Buffalo Stefan Diggs twenty

353
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: one yards. Then against Baltimore they gave up a fifty

354
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: four yard bomb to Zay Flowers but otherwise held them

355
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: to sixty yards. So there's I just think Gyu's sitting

356
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: on a really, really tough matchup here, Brian, what do

357
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: you think?

358
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: What I'm thinking right now is how much more fun

359
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: were the Chiefs when they had an awful secondary shootout

360
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: right and then Mahomes had to come out and chase

361
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: the I don't like the Chiefs with Lagarious Steed and

362
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: it's not fun anymore. They're not a fun team. But yeah, no, this,

363
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you're harping on it and there's no looking

364
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: past it. This game is gonna run through the ground

365
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: for San Francisco. It's a brutal matchup.

366
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: It is through the air. So let's start. Let's tuck

367
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel for a second here, he he's this is

368
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: this is really intriguing. So he runs from the slot

369
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: most often, but not always by any stretch. He still

370
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: runs outside plenty. He's got a in the slot. He's

371
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: got this tough matchup with Trent McDuffie, who I mentioned

372
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: just twenty eight yards per game allowed in his coverage

373
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: and Deebo Samuel. Really five of his last six games

374
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: have been pretty darn quiet in terms of yardage. Anyway,

375
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: he can find his way into the end zone, which

376
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: we love. Tough matchup with McDuffie, and again like him

377
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: if they if they break him outside, then he'd get

378
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Charvarius Award, which is a oh no, I'm sorry. Charvaria's

379
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: award is on his own When is on his own team,

380
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: he'll get Williams. And that would be an easier matchup

381
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: for Samuel because he'll avoid Snead and all probability if

382
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: he goes outside, and Ayuk is outside as well, so

383
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: there might be some opportunities there. I don't love him here,

384
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: but you know where I do really like him is

385
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: on the ground. Kansas City saw the fifth most wide

386
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: receiver rushing attempts in the regular season and in the postseason.

387
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddles run against him. Stefan Diggs has been run

388
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: against them. Say Flowers got carries against him. And obviously

389
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: Samuel's a really good runner, averaging five point eight yards

390
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: per carry. I mean there's a running back numbers three

391
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: point four yards after contact. So I've got a B

392
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: grade on Deebo Samuel. If you can roll together the

393
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: rushing and the receiving, he's got an easier pathway to

394
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: a big game than Ayuk does, and so he might

395
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: be able to get a little something done there. What

396
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: do you think about Debo?

397
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: Well, when it comes to a rushing wide receiver, is

398
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: Debo the greatest ever?

399
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean probably yes, Yeah, I mean Cordero Patterson.

400
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: Why am I banking at corridor Old Patterson? And why

401
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: am I blanking? I'm Jerscy Harvink. Yes, Percy Harvin of

402
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: course is in that converss. That's what I was thinking of.

403
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, the stars are aligned for Deebos. Deebos.

404
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: I mean it's all there on paper. We can't fault

405
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 3: if it doesn't happen, But on paper it's screaming, yes,

406
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 3: this will happen. For Deebo on the ground.

407
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: Stock George Kittle. For a second, Chiefs have been a

408
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: good tight end defense. No opposing tight end all year

409
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: has topped eighty three yards and only two top fifty

410
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: eight yards. So you know, nobody's had like the colossal

411
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs. And in the playoffs listen to this,

412
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: Isaiah likely Brian sixteen yards, then Dalton Kincaid forty five yards,

413
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: and against Miami, which they don't really even use the

414
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: tight end to your guy durham smythe twelve yards. No

415
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: tight end has scored a touchdown against Kansas City in

416
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: six straight games. And you know Kittle where his big

417
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: games become pretty reliable is when Deebo Samuel's not on

418
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the field, but Deebo's on the field, and you know

419
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: when Deebo's lining up on the slot, he's also catching

420
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: balls over the middle of the field. That's Kittle territory.

421
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of cannibalization there. This year,

422
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: in games with Deebo Samuel, Kittle's averages drop almost twenty

423
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: yards down to fifty nine yards per game and a

424
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: very disappointing zero point three touchdowns per game. In Deebo

425
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Samuel games Kittle without Deebo Samuel Kittles is Kittle is

426
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: almost at a full touchdown per game, and it drops

427
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: all the way down to zero point three with Kittle.

428
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: So I've only got the C grade on George Kittle.

429
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting a lot from him.

430
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, this feels like a well first off, this

431
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 3: feels like a Fantasy Football Weekly episode, right, cannot take

432
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: not not take a jab to the face for a

433
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: tight end take that I've had in the past. I

434
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 3: always get one of those thrown at me from you

435
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: and Matt, of course, But yeah, this feels like a

436
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: This feels like more of a Kittle Kittle will shine

437
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: and is all around football game, not his fantasy his

438
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: fantasy output per se. Because I yeah, again on paper,

439
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: not a great a great matchup for Kittle. I'm with

440
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: you there.

441
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's gonna be a tough one. I see

442
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: the under. It's I think the under over unders like

443
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: forty eight points. I think the under keep talking about

444
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: how good these defenses can be, and especially the Chiefs.

445
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: How about and I think the Chiefs win. What do

446
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: you got?

447
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still shocked that the you know, the line

448
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: opened as Kansas City as a you know, right after

449
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: the Conference championships ended at two and a half points

450
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 3: in favor of the Niners, and I was like, and

451
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: I quickly moved to one. You know, the forty nine

452
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 3: is being a one point favorite. I was expecting it

453
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: to move in favor of the Chiefs too right now,

454
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: especially from what I've read, all the action is on

455
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: Kansas City because it's like, I can't bet against Mahomes.

456
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: But you know what, you couldn't bet against Tom brid

457
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight against the Giants or Tom

458
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: Brady again. You never know? But uh but no, clearly,

459
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. You look at this game as a whole,

460
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: it's screams Chiefs, but uh but who knows, we'll see.

461
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: I mean, what's I think it's really the long shot

462
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: MVP Super Bowl MVP odds. So if I'm on the

463
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: chief still my long odds, I'm going back to Richie

464
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: James Jeez to win MVP. Here's what he means for

465
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: it to happen. He needs to catch touchdown and he

466
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: needs to return one on special teams. That's all it's

467
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: gonna take.

468
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: That mean, it's got to be like plus three thousand

469
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: plus four thousand.

470
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's got to be one of the longest

471
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: odds on the team. But if it's he has somewhat

472
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: of a path to it through that, Through that, he's

473
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: got to catch one and he's got to run one

474
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: back on special teams. It's uh, it's plausible.

475
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: If you nail. If you nail this Richie Richie James thing,

476
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna go down as one of the great calls

477
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: in Brian Johnson history. I mean, this is that that.

478
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: Would be I'll get a back that if a back tattoo.

479
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: If Ritchie James wins Super Bowl MVP, I gotta I

480
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: can put money on it. Now. Well, I can say

481
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: on WAX, I do have the Richie James Kansas City

482
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 3: Defense the FS combo, as I mentioned earlier, I am

483
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: riding that hard.

484
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: No, it's because you get double points, right exactly.

485
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the cheap and low owned and all that.

486
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right to me. I don't know why it's

487
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I guess I understand why you're doing Ritchie James as

488
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: opposed to say Justin Watson or somebody like that. But

489
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that's that's too rich for my blood.

490
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: But I hear what you're saying, kind of sort of, all.

491
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: Right, well, you gotta throw a long shot m VP

492
00:26:54,640 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: out there, doesn't have to be a long shot. I'm

493
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: gonna look up, I'm gonna look at the odds.

494
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I don't know. That's not something I

495
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: was necessarily sitting on, Like, who's my long shot super

496
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP? But let me pull up some odds right here.

497
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: M hm hm, Well, a defensive player could win MVP,

498
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: which would automatically make it a long shot, right, that

499
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: would be pretty interesting, Like, I don't know, Lagerious Snead

500
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: has two interceptions. That's possible if you get the brock

501
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: pretty meltdown. Lagerious Sneid is one hundred and fifty to

502
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: one to win, So that might be that might be

503
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: my angle. If I had to pick a somebody at

504
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: deep at deep odds, that might be my guy. Let's

505
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: find uh, let's find where yours is. Richie James is

506
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: five hundred to one to win MVP.

507
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: Holy cow, James.

508
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've always been more of a believer in Richie

509
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: James than I'm been. But we'll credit you for consistency.

510
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: Five bucks can't even get you a happy meal these days,

511
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 3: so you might as well throw it down.

512
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, by the way, can't even get you the

513
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: hamburger out of the happy meal. No, it's ridiculous. How

514
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: much just the basic McDonald's hamburger goes for now? Is

515
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: it's like three in a quarter? Ridiculous times it changed? Yeah, unreal.

516
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: We won't be we won't be eating hamburg or McDonald's

517
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: on Super Bowl Sunday. Celebrate Orge, I miss you. Yeah,

518
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: it's good watch the game together.

519
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: It's a little sad. We're my normal super Bowl party

520
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: has been canceled because we uh we uh we have

521
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: an issue with our kitchen and our uh leaking uh

522
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: our leaking refrigerator. So yeah, kitchens, all of them.

523
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: Not resolved.

524
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, not quite.

525
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: It's too hot in Minnesota this winter, right.

526
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: It is too out here. It is no snow on

527
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: the ground in February. It's very weird. All right, thank you,

528
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: my man. That's fun. We'll be back next week with

529
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: our first true offseason Fantasy Football weekly, either next week

530
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: or the week after. I want to talk about do

531
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: the opposite data just you know, for those that you know,

532
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: was this a year, it was this last year? Or goodyear?

533
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: To do the opposite, was it not. We talked a

534
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: lot about how people weren't drafting running backs as much.

535
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Did that end up paying off or was that ultimately

536
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: a mistake. I think that's gonna come up either next

537
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: week or the week after that.

538
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: Looking forward to it, I'm all, I think there's some

539
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: serious tight end talk to have this year too, in

540
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: the first couple of rounds. Yeah, it really doesn't even

541
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: involve Travis Kelcey as of yet. He can if he

542
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: doesn't retire, he can he can You think.

543
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Her retires by the way.

544
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, winning the Super Bowl just

545
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: pop up Vegas, wedding on the field, wh not. Let's

546
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: go out and a blaze the glory.

547
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: But we'll see what about this? Are you gonna watch

548
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: Puppy Bowl twenty?

549
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm always not for Puppy Bowl. You know that.

550
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: I know you love. It's the twentieth Puppy Bowl. You

551
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: can bet. You can bet on the MVP Most Valuable Puppy,

552
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: and I there's some pretty good angles for Most Valuable Puppy.

553
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mabones is plus five plus five hundred to win

554
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: the MVP. Patrick macbone, he's half beagle. Uh he's from

555
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: Iowa at a shelter in Iowa. Adoptable and Patrick macbones

556
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: it's because he's bagal. It's they're pack animals and they're

557
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: they're uh, they've got the keen sense of smell. A

558
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: lot of people think he's gonna do well. Your long

559
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: shot is Bark Purty plus thirty three hundred for MVP

560
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Puppy I could do.

561
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: I want to sort a whole new podcast from this

562
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: Puppy Bowl names I gotta how about Travis Yelpsie.

563
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. How about Darius Spee? There you go.

564
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty good. All right, man, man, yeah,
